Strum
D-DU-UDU
Over the summer somehow I'm waiting somehow straining
and I gave it all away let my strength slip away kept everyone away
I can't tell you anything
you don't already know
I can't tell you anything
you don't already know
I can't tell you anything
Repeat intro
I am the minister and an imposter you said I am on my own
but I am not alone you are the militant fighting to bring me home

11. Ghosts of a Different Dream Intro--A-Cm-D-E
You dreamt of wine but did you find
the dregs of a another night dissipated
I read the sign you know that wine
the ghosts of a different dream are waiting
a different kind of kiss
the songs of a different mist are rolling
IÕve been inside your mist
the ghosts of another kissed are calling -------
The troops are led and turning red
they smile with the oldest trumpet blaring
a world of hate, canÕt penetrate
the ghost of a different shield your wearing
a different kind of fight
keep those telephones a ringing
I've been inside alright
the ghosts of a different dream are singing
9. Lord of Overstock
-D-A-G Bb--C
Straight to the Lord of Overstock
He spoke for the millonth time
Don't be late for the superdeal will save you alot
and take every cent you earn
(no clue what the lyrics are here)
So trust in the King of Overstock
invest in his wisdom & learn
there's less to go around if everyonecounts
but if you got the money to burn
then you will be in always get fake
Bb C rpt to end...
but what's all worth in heaven on earth
1. Man Called Aerodynamics
find deep within your ole memory coat
a cricket bag you ate from
its sweet-smily apology
Acceptance awaits you
Don't be afraid to cherish it
(F--Am)
Look it up in the bookmobile
Look it up in the gun rack
in the magazine rack
in the map
for it.. only after the fence comes down
that the cartoon bubble explodes
and the new party begins
invitation only here in the senator's suitcase
Let them out and dance for the ant-god
like scary magnets to pounce
upon command
upon the man
the man called aerodynamics
6. To Remake the Young Flyer
To remake the young flyer
yes, we must define the time desire
standing erect to not detect the anything
that we could not admire
Through the long lonely mire (?)
number one is that the one to send
?? on the child
national pride
in my own
a question to the lunatic
do your days seem like nights?
Do your worlds go together
dash forth (?)
he takes his place
he da da da ??
takes his softness from his hand and goes
To remake the young flyer
yes, we must define the time desire
16. Atom Eyes
opening riff is top 3 strings of C chord to B note and back
I'm dreaming it so it must be true
Nothing else could look as good as you do
And so where the rocket goes
Up to where the astros flow into space
Don't hold me down
Atom Eyes don't worry your brain
Take a break from everyday
sell the house, the car, the pain
Atom Eyes
riff, then chords repeat til end
19. Big Boring Wedding

-0----2----4----5--------------
Chords to opening--D--Em--Fm--G
I have entered a shiny new realm
Of very different and very spoiled world
Its with great pleasure I introduce myself
To come and thank you for such delicious pie
repeat opening riff
The irony's sweet bird is paralyzed
With one good finger you try me on for size
Its hard to imagine that you just want to leave
With yellow photos pocket sized
riff again, then start it backwards for the chorus...
Revealing mobility of psychedelic eyes
Spontaneous and violent but private to the mind
With no where left to go
Pass the word the chicks are back
The chicks are back yeah
The chicks are back
The chandelier is spinning shaking
The vibrachord is already waking
Pass the word the chicks are back...repeated until fade
21. Drag Days
Opening chords--E--A--Fm--A--B{eot}
Drag days are not so bad but move to slow
If I were them I'd want them not to linger so
Now we come to drag days A
Now we come to drag days A
Fake capes baby they're too hard to wear
Put them on and everyone will stare
We have come to drag days A
We have come to drag days A
Abm
We escape them sometimes and the feeling is different more intensified
Abm
We escape them within the walls of our fidgety hearts where we hide
Way up and out beyond the factory yards
Up and over the security guards
We have come to drag days A
We have come to drag days A
Abm
We escape them sometimes and the feeling is different more intensified
Abm
We escape them within the walls of our fidgety hearts where we hide
They will turn around B
The will turn around X 11 B
13. Look At Them
opening riff and 1st verse
-0-0-0-0-0-------2-2-2-2-2--------3-3-3-3-3------------------
-1-1-1-1-1-------1-1-1-1-1--------1-1-1-1-1------------------
It's crippling
Never really knowing
We're huddling
Where its always nice
And plus there is a flame
a flame that should be hot?
In spite of being small and being still
Following where ever you will
Back to riff for verse
Look at them
They're sensitive
And they inch out
Oh look at them
And plus there is a flame
a flame that should be hot?
In spite of being small and being still
Following where ever you will
18. Office Of Hearts
Roll out the pain killers
We'll have a killer wig out
Sleepy boys don't look
It's not ?????
Or a statistical occurrence
Its octopus caveman
Drinking with the enemy
He's got a girl on every arm
He sits down and circulates
In the office of hearts
He's case closed middleman
In the office of hearts he'll steal you away
twice
He sits down and circulates
Come feel the softest parts
In the office of hearts
repeat 4 times and fade
23. Redmen & Their Wives
Opening---Dm--C--Bb
Roll out of bed
TheyÕre issuing lives for redmen and their wives
Offering hands and twiddling thumbs
For dreams that never come
Often said you better not look away you'll lose the day
The way I see it
ItÕs already lost
So then be it
They say
They're sharpening knives
And primitive lives for Redmen and their wives
Bread winner and klutz
And losing it all before the one eye shuts
Well I see it as paying the price
Dn=m Bb
Nobody feels it these days
repeat intro
Well I'd like to go
And kiss them away
Well I'd like to know
Another way
Did you notice that
They're taking back lives for Redmen just to
Give them time to find the light
And other things that bind with pride
A killers waking up this time
To honest gleam and needless pride
We'll never see it shine
We'll never find the time
20. Its Like Soul Man
D--E----D--E A
I never liked you until I took a good look at myself
D--E----D--E
And when I saw you there
I saw the best part of me was your soul
It's like soul man
It's like soul man
Crocker's Favorite Song
A--Cm--D--F#m throughout
Everybody's got their hands up high
Everybody should be touching the sky
But you know you never never can go down
So you slow down
And you walk away
She says good morning to you
And you look away
She asks you just what to do
You don't know what to say
But what can be done
And what can be done for you
I'll tell you now
Where will you go
When nothing's laid out for you
Dust Devil (from King Shit)
Don't make promises you can't keep
I've been hearing them in my sleep
Think of positive things to feel
If the disastors are too real
Tum tum tum tum watch me run
Tum tum tum tum turn turn turn
Tum tum tum tum turn your back
And run wheels in motion
Watch them burn
Please go away now
But do return
well the people they look at you
When the fire spreads show them a room
Don't a privy of what we've found
On territorial bowling grounds
Tum tum tum tum so we go
Tum tum tum tum long and slow
So run break the filth up
All around
Slowly build up
And break it down
Buy me yogurt
And knock on wood
They feel big now
But we feel good
Wheels in motion
Watch them burn
Please go away now
But do return
Scissors (From King Shit)
All I ever want to have is
She said no sir, just forget it
A time to figure out
Just what's goin' on
But it's not a bad thing
Bm E Bm---E
But it's not a good thing
All my life I've wanted scissors
Not the kind that are so forgiving
Cigar box eraser bits
And that rusty tool
Sheetkickers
Cover your eyes
The light is too bright
Your wise men they tell you lies
And what's worse
they curse
But still
I love the bite
But flies are maybe marked men
because they're attracted to the light
They realize
The night has come to baptize
and they will finally realize
and what's worse
It hurts
But still they love the bite
And I would like to die with you
I'd like to try but I'm not suicide
And I would like to kill you
But that would suit you fine I realize
And I won't disgrace myself
By chasing you around to pull you back
And I will not give in and hit you when
Before the fight begins and its okay
E Fm--A
I'm over you
E Fm--A
I'm over you
Cover your eyes
The light is too bright
E--Fm--B--A repeat to end
Please Freeze Me (From King Shit)
It's her again oh oh
She's a little disturbed again oh no
And I'm feeling down again so it goes
Circling round like trouble and toil
A princess boiling milk
They thought she was a witch
And when they poured it on her
She didn't melt
And I'll bear no guilt
It's her again oh oh
She's a little disturbed again oh no
And I'm feeling down again so it goes
Circling round like the juggler of the stars
The monster of the moon
It's happening too soon
F--B--F#
Long Distance Man (From Sandbox)
He's a long distance man
and he keeps on going because its not worth blowing
and he does what he can because it not worth losing and
there ain't no choosin
repeat chords throughout
Any other world that you live in
don't believe in second chance
Sell another dream he won't take it
so don't fake it when you dance
Cover up your eyes in these bad times for
the sad times passing years build another tower
for your freedom he don't need them shed no tears.
for the long distance man.....
Indian Was An Angel
Long time comin' to take my hand away
She says nothin' to take the pain away
Somethin' about discussions in the cave
Somethin' about a dream that can't be saved
And all the easy faces
Running out of happy places
Gone to the academy
And plug each sonic lyre
Into the navajo amplifier
For us to hear and see
Chords repeat throughout
Little star went rollin' up the hill
Asked me to come and dance I said I will
There are the days of preparation still
Somethin's gonna happen on that hill
And all the summoned graces
Manifest in different places
There for us to see
And little star keeps sayin'
Indian was an angel prayin'
Come and patiently
For us ??also in we??
And save a place for me

And all the easy faces
[E]Running out of happy pla[A]ces
[G]Gone to the academ[F#m]y [E]
[B]And plug each sonic lyre[F#m]
[E]Into the navajo amplifie[A]r
For us [G]to hear[F#m] and see [E]
Chords repeat throughout
Little star went rollin' up the hill
Asked me to come and dance I said I will
There are the days of preparation still
Somethin's gonna happen on that hill
And all the summoned graces
Manifest in different places
There for us to see
And little star keeps sayin'
Indian was an angel prayin'
Come and patiently
For us ??also in we??
And save a place for me
