i got a broken face, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, ooh
i got a broken face
i got a broken face
i got a broken face
i got a broken face

there was this boy who had two children
with his sisters, who were his daughters
who were his favourite lovers

i got no lips, i got no tongue
where there were eyes there's only space
i got no lips, i got no tongue

i got a broken face
i got a broken face

there was this man who smashed his prick to little pieces
in little pieces
and then they drilled holes
and then they put 'em back in there

i got no lips, i got no tongue
where there were eyes there's only space
i got no lips, i got no tongue

i got a broken face
i got a broken face

the little thing who does my laundry speaks no english
but if you saw her you'd say, "isn't she lovely?"

i got no lips, i got no tongue
where there were eyes there's only space
i got no lips, i got no tongue

Build high, build high (2x)

Cause my old man is bleeding
And my poor dog needs feeding
And this time I'm really broke
So let me feel your leg of hope around me

Build high, build high (2x)
I said build high, yeah, build high
Build high, build high (2x)

Hold me up with pride
Cause I'm not beautiful and
I don't have no pretty friends
Can't pretend.
I'm tired of believing
In the things that go on here.

Lately it makes me feel
Just like someone's forming
In the air air air

Build high, build high (2x)
I said build high, yeah, build high
Build high, build high (2x)

betty always knows
betty always tells
she laughing desperately
she said it felt like a river inside her bones
when she went down to the well

i'm gonna be with her
she is gonna take me there
lead me by my hand
her body a rocking chair for my soul

i can hardly wait, baby
i can hardly wait
'til we go down to the well
down to the well

been thinking to myself
and if a life's not long
what matter does it make
if there'll be favorite songs playing in my head
when we go down to the well

i can hardly wait, betty
i can hardly wait
'till we go down to the well
down to the well

-... girls and fucked 'em at school.

All I know is that
There were rumours he was into field hockey players
There were rumours

- So he applied basically
- He was gone the next day
- And went off with the team

It's like he was got they'd just like
It was like so hush hush
There were so... quiet about it
And then the next thing you know...

The day before that I was wed
She went upstairs and she cut her hair away
I'm amazed (x3)

And when I was a little boy
A ball of strings my parents took from me
I'm amazed (x3)

Before I died, I took my Honda
And packed it up, up, up to Arizona (honey)
I'm amazed, I'm amazed, I'm amazed (x4)

Outside there's a boxcar waitin'
Outside the family stew
Out by the fire breathin'
Outside we wait 'til face turns blue

I know the nervous walkin'
I know the dirty beard hangs
Out by the boxcar waitin'
Take me away to nowhere plains

There is a wait so long
You'll never wait so long
Here comes your man (x3)

Big shake on the boxcar movin'
Big shake to the land that's falling down
Is a wind makes a palm stop blowin'
A big, big stone fall and break my crown

There is a wait so long
You'll never wait so long
Here comes your man (x4)

There is a wait so long
You'll never wait so long
Here comes your man (x4)

This is a song about something there
there is something about this song
we did the clubs what ass
i was hoping to have her in the sack
i was looking handsome
she was looking like an erotic vulture
i was all dressed in black
she was all dressed up in black
everything was fine down here
what you call it here
what you call it her
way down down down down in this subbacultcha

her warm white bellyin the life i'd lived had seen nothing
finer she shakes adn she moves me or something
she's like jellyroll like sculpture
i was wearing eyeliner
she was wearing eyeliner
it was so god down here
saving my scrapbook here
way down down down in this subbacultcha

now we live on the sea and relax and ride the tack
drug running on his panamamian schooner
she walks the deck in a black dress
and me i dress up in black
and we listen to the sea
and look at the sky in a poetic kind of way
what you call it
when you look at the sky in a poetic kind of way
you know when you grope for luna
