Granddad's Opening Address
2.Whoever You Are
(T. Jordan, G. Kurstin)
All I wanna do is to thank you
even though I don't know who you are
You let me change lanes
while I was driving in my car. . .
Whoever you are
I wanna thank you who...
Now all I wanna do is to exit
So I go to where I can get off
On a curve, through the shoulder
There's no parking in that trough
So I drive around all day
Coming atmospheric haze
Till I wanna get on again
Then, all I have to say is
All I wanna do is to thank you
Even though I don't know who you are
You let me change lanes
While I was driving in my car. . .
Whoever you are
I wanna thank you who...
All I wanna do is to tune in
Radio L.A. Lujah
'Cause we're broadcasting live
And we wanna hear all of ya
On the mic is Geggy Tah
But a whole lot more of all of ya
Let us hear ya, let us hear ya
In a big echoing holla
All I wanna do is to thank you
Even though I don't know who you are
You let me change lanes
While I was driving in my car
Whoever you are
I wanna thank you who...
3. Lotta Stuff
(T. Jordan)
There's a lotta stuff in my gut that I can’'t seem to get rid
of
I wish the whole universe would absorb cause it's so much bigger
Unless I take the time
All this stuff will be mine for the rest of my stuffed life
All mine, All mine
All mine, All mine
There's a lotta stuff in my room that I can't seem to put away
I wish the flowers of woe, stop, it' s not cool to look pretty
Unless I take the time
All this stuff will be mine for the rest of my stuffed life
All mine, All mine
All mine, All mine
All mine, All mine
All mine, All mine
All mine, All mine
All mine, All mine. . .
There's a lotta stuff in my gut that I can't seem to get rid of
I wish the whole universe would absorb cause it's so much bigger
Unless I take the time
All this stuff will be mine for the rest of my stuffed life
Taxi, taxidermy
Taxi, taxidermy me
Taxi, taxidermy me
Taxi, taxidermy me
4. Century Plant 2000
(T. Jordan, G. Kurstin)
Here comes 2000 and I hear
There'll be a party
In every house there'll be dancing
And every door will be open
'Cause here comes 2000 and I hear
There'll be a barbeque
On the patio of your neighbor's
Stereo will play your favorite song
The century plant grows to the top
The century plant blooms when it stops
'Cause the century plant knows
The century plant grows to the top
The century plant blooms when it stops
'Cause the century plant knows
Changes all are timing
By sincere sap on the inside
I am not afraid to be blooming
On a different day I'm renewing
Extract the soap from the century
Plants can offer us almost
Everything like cigarette papers
And Bible pages and strops for razors
The century plant grows to the top
The century plant blooms when it stops
'Cause the century plant knows
The century plant grows to the top
The century plant blooms when it stops
'Cause the century plant knows
Here comes 2000 and the times
They are a'changing
And if I'm still alive
At 2000 and 25 I'll be singing
5. Sacred Cow
(T. Jordan)
What's wrong you're always crying lately
What song this isn’t a song really
Shut up and stop your playing around
The subject right now is what's wrong. . .
Chorus:
What's wrong with this immaculate
What song is this immaculate song of love
What's wrong with this immaculate
What song is this sacred cow of love
Love makes me want to melt down
It can be really dangerous
If I make love to you now
I'll have a gigantic sacred cow
Chorus
What song reminds you of when
Life was home on the dangerous
Which side of the tracks are you on
Both sides because the world is round
Sacred cows are headed for the slaughter
Sacred chickens pecking cement
Making unknown nuggets for the miners
So they can make cement excrement
Building buildings taller than the mountains
Digging tunnels deeper than the sea
How I'd like to fly in an airplane
So I can pump entertainment in me
Chorus
6. House Of Usher (Inside)
(T. Jordan)
Inside of me there's a house of usher
Inside of me there's a frosted pane
Behind the glass there's a virgin mother
In a room in the house calling
Chorus:
Please won't you come in
Please won't you come inside
Please won't you come in
Please won’t you come inside
Inside of me there's a full length mirror
Inside of me there's a full bathtub
Take the time to make the water dirtier
As you soak and scrub
Please won't you come in
Please won't you come inside...
Inside of me there's a big bath towel
Inside of me there's a big bath robe
Sorrow sneaks silently in slippers
Left behind when to bed you go
Please won't you come in
Please won't you come inside...
Lady Magdalene is not dead yet
Mary Magdalene's buried alive
Inside of me there's an open window
Inside of me there's an open shade
Shining in illuminate my slumber
Buried a life that was grey
Inside of me
7. Don't Close The Door
(T. Jordan, G. Kurstin)
Don't close the door
Don't close the door
Don't close the door
Don't close the door
Don't close the door to my heart
Don't close the door to my love
When she left she packed light
No luggage allowed on the red eye flight
I wonder what she had for her free drink
I hope she got a pillow
Don't close the door
I hope that someone meets her at the gate
I hope that they're there on time
And they can skip baggage check
Beautiful
Don't close the door
Don't close the door to my heart
Don't close the door to my love
She went up she couldn't go west
The ocean held (her) in like a breast
By a brassiere of broken land
I can still see her
Don't close the door
Now I've no need for a peephole
For I can see clearly now
No sacred cow I miss you
I can't close the door
You went through
I can't close the door
To my heart
I can't close the door
To my love

8. Such A Beautiful Night
(T. Jordan)
It's such a beautiful night
It's cold as hell the wind smells like disaster
The moon is full of gravity pulls the plaster off my face
Finally, I go up to an aster
Faster than even the wind
I fly
On such a beautiful night
The sky is empty with everything inside it
Outside it's such a beautiful night inside
It's such a beautiful night outside
It's such a beautiful night
Inside of the bellies of a heifer
It's such a beautiful night
It's cold as hell the wind smells like disaster
The moon is full of gravity pulls the plaster off my face
It feels good, the wind on my face
Disaster's a welcome change
9. She Withers
(T. Jordan, G. Kurstin)
Out of the way there is a quiet place
Where there's no skin to scar
And there's no time to waste
Full of emptiness I cannot touch the bottom
Lines on her face falling in her autumn
With her while she withers
Away
In a mangel-wurzel for the cattle
Washing for the battle hymn to hurry up
and hold on
Slaughter is to you a manicure her nails
on impaled palms
Springing out of this flesh stirs a life at the bottom
With her while she withers
Away
With her while she withers
Away
10. Las Vegas With The Lights Out
(T. Jordan, G. Kurstin)
Big dinosaur silhouettes
Big pyramid silhouettes
Big building silhouettes
Big silhouettes of...
I don't know what that is
It's Las Vegas with the lights out
Las Vegas with the lights out
Las Vegas with the lights out
It's Las Vegas with the lights out
Big crowd silhouettes
Moving cautiously, arms outstretched
None of the cars are turning over
There's no juice in the batteries
There's plenty of juice in all the people though
Pushing their automobiles in neutral
They aren't automatic anymore
They aren't automatic anymore
It's Las Vegas with the lights out...
Big dealers wanna bet
Roulette wheels wanna bet
Slot machines wanna bet
All resting
Before the night when the lights went out
Was an electrical water spout
Absolutely everything about
Electricity
Has been dead for more than a minute
I don't think this was an accident
The dead presidents are innocent
Made of metal ahh...
It's Las Vegas with the lights out...
11. Mem
(T. Jordan)
Ready or not here I come is what she said
I was the one for her story instead
So to give me memories so
Satisfy secrets pushing broken doorbells
Ringing implicit leaves fall down
Joyous hell-bender
Going down, slowly rising
Son of a someone two three for Ïget along
Heir to the princess sing sing a happy song
Making baby memories so
Saddle the horses and let’s ride out at dawn
Head toward the sun rising upstream will spawn
Laying down so we can
Enjoy delicate things
Enjoy delicate things
Ready for anything without a seer
Leaves on the trees are trembling upside down
Silver and clear my memories so
Ever there was a story I ache to hear
Mary Maudlin heard the goats under there so she's
Going down, slowly rising
12.
Shed
(T. Jordan)
I wanna be honest more than I know how
I wanna be honest more than I know how
So honest I'll surprise myself
Surprise me now, surprise me nowt
Ooh, I'm scared I'm afraid I'm not afraid
I'm a terminal optimistake
Rip off my dog tags
Sleep in the funny farm
Shed my hospital gown
Old MacDonald has a car alarm
Eyi Eyi Eyi Eyi Oh
Shed. . .
I wanna dance more than I know how
I wanna dance more than I know how
So simple I’ll surprise my sow
Surprise me now, surprise me nowt
Ooh, I'm scared I'm afraid I'm not afraid
I'm a terminal optimistake
Rip off my dog tags
Sleep in the funny farm
Shed my hospital gown
Old MacDonald has a car alarm
Eyi Eyi Eyi Eyi Oh
Shed
13.
Gina
(T. Jordan, G. Kurstin)
I've never seen anything more beautiful
than the eyes on the side of Gina's head
I've never seen anything more beautiful
than the eyes on the side of Gina's head
Gina, Gina, Gina, Gina
I've never seen anything more elegant
than the neck that holds Gina's head up
Gina...
I've never seen anything more motherly
than her nipples make me want to drink her up
I've never felt anything more motherly
than a kiss from Gina when I get up
Gina...
I've never smelled anything so robust
than when Gina's been playing in that trash
I've never smelled anything so sweet
than when she's fresh out of a warm bath
Gina...
I've never seen anything more beautiful
than the eyes on the side of Gina's head
