Star Slight (01:18)
At the Drive-In • Acrobatic Tenement
Sailing all alone
Guided by star light
Nowhere is my home
inside my mind

We've paid that shoeshine boy
whose buff has no smile
He spits on your tip toes
and you keep bragging folklore
like it's out of style
out of focus
Harum scarum
we promote this
cover discover

You know your insides true
Better then I do

This is starslight.

This time I'm gonna take the collection baby
And with the money in my hand
I'm gonna purchase all the details
Scrub you clean with my soap opera chirping
Walking on tip-toed pickpocket fever
Racing up the scales of your thermometer
Turnbuckle tournicate clotting the moonshine
Clotheslined seizures singing happy valentines
I'm singing, happy, a valen-, happy valentine yeah

I found feathers in the hit and run nest
Omerttas not a prayer on your rosary beads
I found feathers in the hit and run nest

When she knocked me over
I looked inside the hearse
Sprouting chauvanistic swine
And written were the words
Poking butter with this knife
Allergic to this concubine
Racing by in a '56 chevy
And we couldn't even pretend
To be alive... x6

I found feathers in the hit and run nest
Scrub you clean with my soap opera chirping
i found feathers at the. hit and, run

Initiation (03:27)
At the Drive-In • Acrobatic Tenement
I-N-I-T-I, A-T-I-O-N

follow you home after every show
perforated into tiny fragments
heavy breathing's your new fan club
a john handcock with the safety off after every show
and how this pedestal fits like a glove
such a pity I built no ladder
for the roots, and above
i'll be hacking off, after every show

(I-N-I-T-I-A-T-I-O-N)
initiation,
x3
(what---)
whatcha doin,
There's no restraining order to keep me from you
parting contestants never win
(Initiation, what---)
Watcha doin,
There's no restraing order, keep me from you
Parting contestants never seem to win

Watch you clap your hands by the stage
Lend me your ears, just another page
In the book that your friend signed yesterday
When I told you not to bother to holler
the telephone's the one that helped
me wrap - the chord
around - your neck
you know - you're beautiful
when you're dead

(I-N-I-T-I-A-T-I-O-N)
initiation,
x3
(what---)
whatcha doin,
There's no restraining order to keep me from you
(Initiation, what---)
Watcha doin,
There's no restraing order, keep me from you
Parting contestants never seem to win

Paid Vacation Time (03:34)
At the Drive-In • Acrobatic Tenement
So we see the opportunities
Stich and thread
with no down payments
our neighbors see it through their
own eyes so that the others hear
the story, the grapevine
dot your i's, cross your t's
this forfeitures the burden of another

and all those friends you thought you had
are laughing at and not with you
and all those friends you thought you knew
you'd trade it all for a tank full of fuel

bel aire colonial deluxe number five
all the warmth that a boy can give
sheepskin costume
i'm a truant officer

Ticklish (04:35)
At the Drive-In • Acrobatic Tenement
pigeon holed decision making
all my mind's made up
i only colored outside the lines
'cause i got the knack
stenciled teen initials
that were carved on the roof of my mouth
only to bark the words of so-and-so
fuck so-and-so...

i been dancing in the bathroom stalls
excreting words just for this song
i'm kicking in windows
and it don't make music to me

"please get some medication
simple. it's simple...
we must die with dignity."

pallbearer we are and all that
we never get and all my little pushes
fall on your
deaf
ears

kicking in these windows
kicking in these windows
it's on the roof of my mouth
i'm gonna bark the words
on the roof of my mouth

tickling with contusions
paper bag masks hiding infantile music
no pictures, just words
are you afraid of our books?
illiterate cells for the valley of mules

Porfirio Diaz (03:01)
At the Drive-In • Acrobatic Tenement
kiss and kill your boyfriend
and all rich ones, too
rich kids of the world unite
dime on the bleachers
head says not that far away
bu the only way up is down
and I keep falling
flip it again, but the answer
hasn't spared its change
doesn't matter how much time
you'll never forget that forgetting's required
served on a platter of fakes
it's inevitable
we're proud to be pricks
we're proud to be assholes
picking up the pieces one by one
don't let it ride
answer, someone, anyone
won't you pick up the pieces
you left behind?
