The World Is Ours:
3. End Of All Days
build a house on sand
and watch it sink
into the ocean blue
build a house of cards
and watch the wind blow through
play a grown-up game
with grown-up names
and plastic surgery
build a house on sand
and watch it disappear
all the plans you made
and prayers you prayed
are lost in yesterday
this is the end
the end of all days
marking time
for the very last day
write a memo in your organizer
that nothing is for sure
mark your calendar
and strike tomorrow through
all the plans you made
and prayers you prayed
are lost in yesterday
cause this is the end
the end of all days
marking time
for the very last day
this is the end
the end of all days
marking time
for the very last day
it is the end of all days
5. If You Ever Leave Me Standing
a one-horse town
with one old traffic light
hunted down
to a cheap
motel
your swollen eyes
never, ever say die
as the sheets run red
under me
if you ever leave me standing
then
I've one last wish
oh please, wrap the scarf around me
red-white found me
for my life
they're all here
to pay their last respects
it's crystal clear
only one
way out
your hand in mine
never, ever say die
as the sheets run red
under me
if you ever leave me standing
then i've one last wish
oh please, wrap the scarf around me
red-white found me
for my life
oh please, wrap the scarf around me
red-white found me
for my life
Till the Cows Come Home:
1. Prized
Nominate the sitting hens
While they cling to a screen wire
Watch them picking with their cut-off bills
Crown he fattest, crown the best
Breeding brooder that contest
In the competition that you give
Let's play a losing game
Versus the sickness and versus the pain
Versus the butcher again and again
The winning is rated
The bodies were sized
And the winner is ... prized
Nominate the perfect egg
And observe its innocence
Like the whiteness of a stillborn child
Crown the fattest, crown the best
Laying layer that contest
In the competition that you give
Let's play a losing game
Versus the sickness and versus the pain
Versus the butcher again and again
The winning is rated
The bodies were sized
And the winner is ... prized
Nominated to die
Prized
