Elizabeth on the Bathroom Floor (02:08)
Eels • Electro-Shock Blues
Laying on the bathroom floor
Kitty licks my cheek once more
And I could try
But waking up is harder when you wanna die

Walter's on the telephone
Tell him I am not at home
'Cause I think that I am going
To a place where I'm always high

My name is Elizabeth
My life is shit and piss

Cancer for the Cure (04:46)
Eels • Electro-Shock Blues
The kids are diggin up a brand new hole
Where they put their deadbeat mom
Grandpa's happy watching video porn
With the closed caption on
And father knows best
About suicide and smack
Well hehehe

Cancer for the cure
Cancer for the cure
Buckle up and endure now baby
Cancer for the cure

Old blue eyes is back again
But he was never here in the first place
A heart attack may be something to fear
But take a look out back
'Cause courtney meets love
And so do i
Well hehehe

Cancer for the cure
Cancer for the cure my baby
Buckle up and endure now sweet thing
Cancer for the cure

Cancer for the cure
Cancer for the cure my baby
Buckle up and endure now sweet thing
The cancer for the,
The cancer for the,
The cancer for the,
The cancer for the cure
The cancer for the cure
The cancer for the cure
The cancer for the cure
The cancer for the cure

My Descent Into Madness (03:54)
Eels • Electro-Shock Blues
La la la la la la la la la

Springfield's looking pretty dusty today,
I see their dreams coming undone.
The view from inside ward nine affords this much
A town teeming with the unloved
Close the window and lock it so it's good and tight

La la la la la la la la la
la la la la la

Turning eighteen and trying not to look too lost
-Have a not so nice day-
The jacket makes me straight so I can just sit back
And bake.
You know I think I'm gonna stay
Talking very loud but no one hears a word I say.

La la la la la la la la
la la la la la

La la la la la la la la
la la la la la

Come visit me at eight o'clock and then you'll see how
I am not the crazy one
Voices tell me I'm the shit

Twenty days go by and every day looks the same
Same same same same

La la la la la la la la
la la la la la

La la la la la la la la
la la la la la

I'm the shit

3 Speed (02:45)
Eels • Electro-Shock Blues
Got a 3 speed and banana seat
Sitting back on the sissy bar
Went to Sev and got a drink
Wish I was driving in daddy's car

And I looked up at the sky last night
And I thought I saw a bomb
And why won't you just tell me what's going on?

Riding down on Springhill Road
Meeting Alfred out in the woods
Dogs bark and mosquitos bite
Scratching the itch that makes it feel good

And I looked into the mirror last night
All I saw was a pretty blonde
And why won't you just tell me what's going on?

Life is funny
But not ha ha funny
Peculiar I guess
You think I got it going my way
Then why am I such a fuckin' mess?

Want a pony and a birthday cake
Want a party with a scary clown
Kneel down and bow to the princess
Kneel down for the queen of the town

And I looked up at the sky last night
And I thought I saw a bomb
And why won't you just tell me what's going on?
Tell me what's going on

Hospital Food (03:23)
Eels • Electro-Shock Blues
Comin' through the alley tryin' to walk without a sound
It doesn't really matter 'cause there ain't no one around
Tiptoe through the alley and tiptoe through your life
You still got it coming be it a gun, be it a knife
Next thing you know
You're eating hospital food

Karaoke castration, take the wasp alive
He's gonna sting you anyway and take you to the hive
Yesterday was suckin' and tomorrow's lookin' bad
Who knew today was the only thing I had?

What?
What?
I could hear you.
I was, uh...

Hospital food
Want some hospital food
Hospital food
Delicious hospital food

In your tribute album to the world you must never forget
To sing the one about the cat who's always gettin' wet
He's always got a problem, he's a very bitter dude
And now he's complaining 'bout his hospital food

Hospital food
It's gonna help the medicine go down
Want some hospital food
Gonna take a walk without a sound
A little hospital food
Helps the spoonful of sugar come up
I want some hospital food
In your blender and in my cup

Hospital food
Hospital food
Hospital food
Hospital food

Baby Genius (02:03)
Eels • Electro-Shock Blues
Baby genius
Look how you've grown
Where do you go from here?

Didn't we have some good times
After all is said and done

Small body and small mind
Big head and big headaches
My back is broken, baby genius
Find another ride

Climbing to the Moon (03:38)
Eels • Electro-Shock Blues
So I wrote it all in a letter
But I don't know if it came
The nurse she likes my writing
So she keeps it just like me
So that it won't get away

I won't be denied this time
Before I go out of my mind
Over matters, got my foot on the ladder, and I'm
Climbing up to the moon

Got a sky that looks like heaven
Got an earth that looks like shit
It's getting hard to tell where
What I am ends
And what they're making me begins

I won't be denied this time
Before I go out of my mind
Over matters, got my foot on the ladder, and I'm
Climbing up to the moon

Saturday in the yard
They'll bring you by
We'll lay down on the grass
And watch as the sky closes in

I won't be denied this time
Before I go out of my mind
Over matters, got my foot on the ladder, and I'm
Climbing up to the moon
Climbing up to the moon

Ant Farm (02:11)
Eels • Electro-Shock Blues
Hate a lot of things
But I love a few things
And you are one of them

Hard to believe
After all these years
But you are one of them

Walk down the streets
I'm thinking:
Everybody move along
I've got a sad-hearted needing
To belong

Nevertheless
It's all the mess you made
But I can't let it go

Walk down the streets
I'm thinking:
Look at all the ants in a farm
I've got a sad-hearted feeling
To harm

Hate a lot of things
But I love a few things
And you are one of them

Dead of Winter (02:59)
Eels • Electro-Shock Blues
Standing in the dark outside the house
Breathing the cold and sterile air
Well I was thinking how it must feel
To see that little light
And watch it as it disappears
And fades into
And fades into the night

So I know you're going pretty soon
Radiation sore throat got your tongue
Magic markers tattoo you
And show it where to aim
And strangers break their promises
You won't feel any
You won't feel any pain

And the streets are jammed with cars
Rockin' their horns
To race to the wire
Of the unfinished line

Thought that I'd forget all about the past
But it doesn't let me run too fast
And I just wanna stand outside
And know that this is right
And this is true
And I will not
Fade into
Fade into the night

Standing here in the dark

The Medication Is Wearing Off (03:51)
Eels • Electro-Shock Blues
See this watch she gave me?
Well it still ticks away
The days I'm claiming back for me

The medication's wearing off
Gonna hurt not a little, a lot
Keep on tickin' you're not lickin' me

Step on a crack break your mother's heart
Red light green light black
Suicide e-mail do not delete
Plug it back in the jack
Start to be what they want you to be
And you see yourself as they see you

Sunrise at the corner of
Sunset and Alvarado
I think what the hell do I do now
Watch the day disintegrate
So I can stay up late and wait

See this watch she gave me?
Well it still ticks away
