"THE SHELL"

sun sets on the fairfax of johnny's dream
he's seen the right and the left side
he wants in between
she traded in her high heels
for bobby sox and books
at the kentucky fried...she can sell the shell
the truth is the money
when you take a look
you could touch the cover
you could make it with the book
she's hiding something in between the lines
reachin' for my pocket
and the pants of a friend of mine...she can sell the shell
middle of the fiddle
is the place that you could be
give up the dollar
i'm your helper for a fee
i've done the lowly
priced it so they could afford
and i've done the holy
in the name of the lord...she can sell the shell
"BENNY"

what's wrong with this
is this victory
is this satan's thrill
is this a living pill
you lose the girl
she'll come 'round again
for heaven's above
what are we thinking of

chorus:
benny in the hand
kill some seed
so you want to move fast
a benny in the hand is free
where is she
i'm gonna get sick
i'm gonna get dead
or someone said... chorus


"POUND OF FLESH"

a pound of flesh is the pay los angeles l.a.
the topless world is not the cause
the movie screen the enlightened teen
the minority some more for me
the intake of the liquor and the lay

chorus:
i want some
give her give her give her up
i want some...i love you let's go

justice demands no charity
flesh must be ground by the pound
los angeles l.a.
"CONFUSION"

confusion
am i in, am i not
am i in the pig
confusion
"RED SWINE"

the bitter porker
the bitter swine
"RADIO SATAN"

radio satan
radio live
you're wearing you halos way up high
you're praying to jesus to save my life
radio satan
radio lies

and it's the kiss that leads to murder
and it's the kiss that makes the martyr

radio satan
lend me some wool
spun by your hand from your spinning spool
cover my transgressions cover tonight
radio satan
radio lies
"YELLOW SUN"

yellow sun
you're my sin show now
"THERE'S A TIME"

there's a time to cry
there's a time
the time is when you are not near
the shiver makes me shake in time
remembering how good it was
there's a time to laugh
there's a time
the time is when you are so near
your giggle makes me laugh in time
remembering how good it was
i'm a wimp for conversation
i want a romantic soul
i get lost in the confusion
of what i really want and know
the final confrontation
is with the owner of your will
give up the moderation
of what you really know and feel
there's a time to die
"SPICE OF LIFE"

spice of life
i want to kill
when you want to maim
i want to maim
when you want to kill
i want to live
when you want to die
spice of life
"EVERYTHING"

you're the one i love
you're the one i hate
could drop me into hell
or let me in your gate
you're that shinny lip
that keeps me hanging 'round
you're the honest girl
that brings me down
you're everything

you're a dream come true
you're a dog named spot
you're that funny joke
that i never got
you're a heroine
and a movie star
you're the drunken hag
in a white trash bar
you're everything

you're a gift from god
you're a demon's rage
you're a trip i took
you are the torn out page
you're filled with joy
from all the things you've learned
you're the obvious
you're that unknown turn
you're everything
