(words by Ivy Stump)
take that silver spoon out yer mouth and you'll find
yours ain't better than mine
you can ride first class/all expenses paid
but our destinations read exactly the same
don't believe everything you see
one sense outta five don't mean shit to me
I know ya dig that breeze at the top of the hill
it feels nice, don't it?
but I done climbed that hill some ages ago
only thing kept ya there is that bloated ego

(words by Ivy Stump)
ringin' that bell that liberty bell
think it's dinnertime down in the prison cell
rats a-blazin', bubblin' boilin'
sheriff's hat & coat are tumblin' toilin'
empty feeling, vanishing coattails
keep me hoppin' from motel to motel
round the byway
makin' icebox cake in an old tin can
no better way to prove yer becoming a man
thick cloud'o smoke comin' out yer ears
story's been told for 500 years
climb on yer desk, smilin' crooked
lookin' for yer memory thinkin' somebody took it
round the byway

(words by Ivy Stump)
you know it, you live it, you need it
leeches
hangin' around, vegetatin', not doin' shit but complainin'
suckin' me dry, killin' my high, just die
you fuckin' leeches
get out, get out, get outta my house just get out
eatin' my food, playin' my games, watchin' my movies/not even rewindin'
you know it, you live it, you need it, you BLEED it
leeches

Outta My Head

(words by Ivy Stump)
I've been standin' on the same rug
for a number of years
til it got pulled out from under me
what am I still doing here?
my shrink says I'm dead inside
but shoot, I don't feel dead
ah she's overpaid anyway
think I'm outta my head
(yeah I wouldn't doubt it!)
I'm just outta my head
so lemme pose a question, man
why'd ya have to steal my booze?
yeah I know the first rule
yeah ya snooze ya loose
and you acted real friendly after
real brotherly like everything's cool
with that cornfed grin on yer face
and a giggle that's closer to a cackle
(man I oughta slap the shit outta you!)
I'm just outta my head
I'm still outta my head
I might as well be dead
