It’s all in my head
It’s all in my head
It’s all in my head
But I want it all
It’s all in my head
It’s all in my head
It’s all in my head
But I want it all
All of none
All of none
It’s all in my head
It’s all in my head
It’s all in my head
But I want it all
It’s all in my head
It’s all in my head
It’s all in my head
But I want it all
All of none
All of none
It’s all in my head
It’s all in my head
It’s all in my head
But I want it all
It’s all in my head
It’s all in my head
It’s all in my head
But I want it all
It’s all in my head
It’s all in my head
It’s all in my head
But I want it all
It’s all in my head
It’s all in my head
It’s all in my head
But I want it all

Lawton at Lomita

Betty, look, the petty crook mistook god and gambler
Claimed that he’d never be back and here he come
Promising everything: the question, the answer
Pockets full of smokin’ coal, trudgin’ toward the sun
Who, who go there?
Who dare?
Who in the right mind
Got the time
To spare?
Possession of the conscience of the judge is gonna cost thee
A soul unearthed, for what it’s worth, it’s worth the price of one
Keep the skin, it’ll shed when sin split upon salvation
Follow me beneath the tree-line and sinkin’ sun
Who, who go there?
Who dare?
Who in the right mind
Got the time
To spare?

Voodoo
Voodoo
Breaking down your
Voodoo
Breaking down your
Voodoo
Voodoo in the potion
Voodoo in the tea
Voodoo in the cauldron
Sustaining me
A figure emerging
Through the smoke with a cure
For my oddly conditioned
Rising temperature
Voodoo
Voodoo
Breaking down your
Voodoo
Breaking down your
Voodoo

The Collector
03:36

Seven down, seven to go
Seven down, seven to go
Seven bros all in a row
Seven down, seven to go
Doomed to drive this dirty town
Up the boulevard and down
Down, down ’til you lose your name
Merchant, king, hun, it’s all the same
Dogs bark in the kettle
Souls kick in the stable
Why, I am on a whole other level
Why, I am on a whole other level

Fool's Gold

I got my money
On the fly in the honey
Holdin’ on
I dig the guy
With the diamond in his eye
Holdin’ on
Visions of milk
In webs made of silk (What?)
Holdin’ on
Tangled in the dark
Beggin’ on a spark
Help him out
I, I don’t mean
That I have seen
The light
So bright
The light
So bright
I got my buck
On a glimmer of luck
Holdin’ on
The worn-out movie star
Sittin’ at the bar
Holdin’ on
Claws of smoke
On his breath, a joke just
Holdin’ on
Long way back
Down that track
Letting go
I, I don’t mean
That I have seen
The light
So bright
The light
So bright

The Doomed Dance
03:52
|

Lost the found just in time
Found the lost, bummed a rhyme
Took the crow to the shine
Oh, she was standing there
Silhouetted by the sun
Eyes glowed green as she spun
Me around none to one
None to one, one, one
Big, bad scarlet sky
If I don’t then I die
If I die before I wake
I pray the Lord my soul to take
Full gallop toward the woods
Disappearing neighborhoods
Something good calling me
The cuckoo in the cherry tree
Run
Hugo, run
Hugo, run
Run from the sun
Run
Hugo, run
Hugo, run
Run from the sun
Bada-boom! The smoke
Curled light, it broke
Into blooms, she spoke
In words I cannot say
Was and was, was tossed
Overboard we lost
All the light, we crossed
Mystified borderlines
Run
Hugo, run
Hugo, run
Run from the sun
Run
Hugo, run
Hugo, run
Run from the sun

Britzka

Put often
Off putting on
Put on your
Shades and face the sun
She's wasting time
I’m in my prime
It ain’t a crime
To want me
Raise your drink
To the sky sink
Pour some up there
Scoop down the sun
She's wasting time
I’m in my prime
It ain’t a crime
To want me
She's wasting time
I’m in my prime
It ain’t a crime
To want me

The Trunk
03:38
|

Take it, break it, forsake it — I’m free
To do with it what you couldn’t be
You’re drownin’ in the river, the river of brick
Your obviousness makin’ me sick
Found your trunk, the one with the clothes
The lace, it sticks; the silk, it flows
The wig, it fits naturally
Masqueradin', settin’ me free
