The Awful Truth NO! I’m not high on drugs, I don’t know where you can buy any, I get asked this often just because i’m funny looking NO! I don’t have a spare cigarette, I plan on smoking them all, I covet my nicotine, I paid alot for this chronic cough Is this the answer to your daily questions? I hope that it doesn’t upset you, Just remember when you ask a question, You just might get the awful truth, NO! I don’t have any spare change, I plan on hoarding it all, You might think I’m selfish I just think i’m frugal, NO! I don’t have any food for you, NO! You can’t drink my orange juice, Hey! What did I just say to you, I don’t want your shitty blow. Is this the answer to your daily questions? I hope that it doesn’t upset you, Just remember when you ask a question, You just might get the awful truth, No!......Noooo….No...NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO Is this the answer to your daily questions? I hope that it doesn’t upset you, Just remember when you ask a question, You might just get the awful truth,

Hale Bop 02:52
Hale Bop Swallow phenobarbital, apple sauce, vodka shot all in one gulp, Got my black shirt on, Got my black pants, Got my new track shoes on, I’ve got a five dollar bill and three quarters in my pants pocket, Nothing left for me to do now except wait for the comet called Hale Bop. Hale Bop will take us home, Hale Bop will take us home sweet home. Peering through the scope with a heep of hope looking for my companion, At the foot of my bed stands a packed suitcase full of my belongings, Videotaped farewell to my loved ones sent in the mail, Nothing left for me to do now but wait for the comet called… Hale, Bop. Hale Bop will take us home, Hale Bop will take us home sweet home. Swallow phenobarbital apple sauce, vodka shot all in one gulp, Got my black shirt on, Got my black pants, Got my new track shoes on, I’ve got a five dollar bill and 3 quarters in my pants pocket, Nothing left for me to do now 'cept wait for the comet called Hale Bop.

What Will It Take To Break You? Don't toy with us boy cuz we mean business, We'll soon have you singing like a bird on a wire, Before you know it, you'll be screaming "Stop it!" You think you know pain? We'll show you the meaning of pain. Step one is... slow Chinese water torture Step two is... hot wax in your ear What's it gonna take boy, for you to tell us what we want to hear? Come on we're waiting, we haven't got all year, We're waiting, we're waiting, We've got many ways of making you talk, This ain't no place for decoded secrets, We'll take you to the edge, then push you over, We make Josef Mengele, look like a toy soldier.

Suddenly 02:57
Suddenly Smokey halls and lucky charms, We’re all waiting on the callers call, Strangers with a common bond, For the love of the housewives game, Some win but many don’t, At least we haven't given up hope, It is always in our hearts, To keep on keeping our fingers crossed, I feel my… I feel my luck is changing now B, B, I, B,I,N,G,O! I feel my, I feel my patience paying off, B. B, I. B,I,N,G,O! Suddenly, Suddenly I, Suddenly I feel my luck changing Suddenly, Suddenly I, Suddenly I feel my luck changing There are some people who have a God, And bingo is his name-o, They all pray for the winning card, The one that’s going to pay-off, Few win but many don’t, At least there not out shooting up dope, Some lose but they’re really lost, They keep their sights set on the next jackpot I feel my… I feel my luck is changing now B! B, I! B,I,N,G,O! I feel my, I feel my patience paying off, B! BI! B,I,N,G,O! Suddenly, Suddenly I, Suddenly I feel my luck changing, Suddenly, Suddenly I, Suddenly I feel my luck changing, Suddenly, Suddenly I, Suddenly I feel my luck changing, Suddenly, Suddenly I, Suddenly I feel my luck changing, Changing, changing, changing.

My Long Lost Lobe Woke up this morning and looked in the mirror, And I was missing an ear, I looked under my pillow and it wasn’t there, I found it under the cushion of a bean bag chair, I tried to stick it back on with a wad of gum, And it happens every morning, It’s became my ritual, I scramble around my house, In search of my long lost lobe, Where did it go?! Stapled it back on and I looked kinda punk, My Mom said it look dumb, And I felt kinda dizzy, ‘cause I lost some blood, And now i’m looking for something to fill the hole, Gosh I wish I had someone to fill my hole. And it happens every morning, It’s became my ritual, I scramble around my house, In search of my long lost lobe, Where did it go? And it happens every morning, It’s became my ritual, I scramble around my house, In search of my long lost lobe, Where did it go?
