DC -10 03:40
lyrics
Im gettting on a DC-10 Been invited to speak After a screening at Cannes Chinese made a movie of my life About how love always wins in the end So Im getting on a DC-10 Inspecting the towels for traces of blue Mr Cooper arrives at a quarter past two He misplaced his jacket on a connecting flight So he will need a replacement jacket tonight Im getting on a DC-10 Wven though I hear theyre not safe to fly Gonna cross the ocean on a DC-10 Give my mom a kiss for me if I die Sometimes there nothing you can do If you wanna go over, you gotta go through So Im getting on a DC 10

lyrics

you have an ear on each side of your head your husband too has two and your daughter has two ears on her head but not all ears are on a head some are underneath your bed before you think of calling home disconnect the ears in your telephone ears in your car and on your scooter ears grow on your garden gate there are more ears in your computer than in the whole united states all the friends i used to know have moved to where the new ears grow im careful what i see or think these ears work for the brain police i found an ear in the street looking like a piece of meat i lit a fire and cooked it up now i have an ear inside my guts it knows my loves it knows my hates it even knows what i just ate it even shudders when i cough so im going to cut all my ears off now when i look into a mirror im happy that i see no ears. one day ill pierce the ears of giants

Eyes Like Judy Collins 02:24
lyrics
you have eyes like judy collins they believe that it is true i can make a girl with green eyes believe that they are blue at the top of my list of conquests stands mlle bardot i tried to hustle janis joplin she just said no go come all ye fair young maidens let me lay my head upon your breasts johnny depp might give you status but i can give you depth you have eyes like judy collins they believe that it is true i can make a girl with green eyes believe that they are blue i can shoot a line of bullshit and hit the bullseye of their vanity you have eyes like judy collins they believe that it is true i can make a girl with green eyes believe that they are blue

Storytellers 02:48
lyrics
every story has a girl and every writer writes alone the man who wrote the book of love was searching for a home just like the old boll weevil messing with somebodys crops the writer is a parasite. sprayed with pesticide til he drops william burroughs and william tell took their shots at a womans head norman mailer and norman bates played with knives went they went to bed storytellers on the subway take the devils advice stealing the lives of commuters imprinting on strangers a lie every body has a story but few can tell it straight no man knows the real truth behind his twisted fate we find ourselves in footnotes beneath the breaking waves the face no one remembers, the footprints unengraved

The Race 01:51
lyrics
im not trying to cheat it im trying to beat it put away that glass of wine im in a race with time so many wasted moments that i could use right now as the snow is falliing from the bough from the torrid waste of youth to the slavery of age each year drops away in soft outrage this is where it ends there is no higher court when the dark arm falls cutting inspiration short
7.
In Coach 01:18
lyrics
to ride in coach is an extravagance for some for others its a long step down they find no joy mixing with the hoi polloi if you hang it on a limb you cannot even ride the roof the train gaurd throws you to the mud after he blacks your brains out with his jack in coach i ride i save up all the dough ive earned in the towns where i have worked long enough to leave with aces hidden in my my sleeves to ride in coach is an extravagance for some for others its a long step down they find no joy mixing with the hoi polloi

Under the Ice 02:05
lyrics
you can tell by his long white hair where you are going he is already there he was doing all right till he fell from the mast into the brine and went under the ice he made a calculation but it wasnt precise the wave took the ship and he went under the ice you can you can tell by the cold stiff wrinkles in his skin the place you are headed he has already been so look to the north star and lower your sail you are caught in the tow of an unholy grail he embraced the sun then fell from the heights now he lies blue and frozen under the ice
