PUSA / Presidents Of The USA - These Are The Good Times People (2008) - Album - Lyrics



Mixed Up S.O.B

You'd think she took me for a ride
she held it all way up inside
she held her breath and turned her face all red
that's how they found her in her bed all dead and this is what I said

She's a mixed up son of a bitch yeah yeah
She's a mixed up son of a bitch yeah yeah
air ball punch line delivered with a twist and
she's a mixed up son of a bitch

you'd think she had me in a cage
like a bird on fire she flew into a rage
her eyes are permanently crossed
once you won her you could swear she made you feel like you already lost

because,
She's a mixed up son of a bitch yeah yeah
She's a mixed up son of a bitch yeah yeah
air ball punch line delivered with a twist and
she's a mixed up son of a bitch

go now go!

desperate living so divine
a sugar cube empire could be all mine
she's stuck in gear its justt too bad its reverse
you say i've seen bad well i've seen worse

see the tv glowing life is walkin by
hear the music flowin life is walking by
see the lovin tree growin life is walking by
an empty boat startsrowing thats when you're knowin
life is walking you by
life is walking you by
i could never tell you thruth about her cause shes so mixed up
i could never tell you thruth about her cause shes so mixed up
i could never tell you thruth about her cause shes so mixed up
She's a mixed up son of a bitch
she's a mixed up son of a bitch

Sharpen Up Those Fangs

He's the boy with the messy mind
its hard to find the time to clear it
he's the boy with the broken brain
not insane but never happy
sharpen up those fangs
not insane but never happy
shes' got those rock star girlfriend eyes
the kind that fry the back of your skull
shes' the one with the skinny face
shes' got an ace with sleeves stuffed up it
sharpen up those fangs
got an ace with sleeves stuffed up it

and its no surprise no surprise
the fangs aren't sterilized
i'm too weak for curled fingers
too tempting to pass by

no surprise no surprise
the fangs aren't sterilized
i'm too weak for curled fingers
too tempting to pass by

She's the girl with the chocolate heart
she turns up the heat and melts her target
stumbles into a poisonous thing
she feels the sting but it dosent matter
sharpen up those fangs
she feels the sting but it dosent matter

pull the spider out from under your boot
the venomus tooth will make you smile
let it bit cause it so damn cute
let it bite and drain you empty
sharpen up those fangs
let it bite and drain you empty

and its no surprise no surprise
the fangs aren't sterilized
i'm too weak for curled fingers
too tempting to pass by

no surprise no surprise
the fangs aren't sterilized
i'm too weak for curled fingers
too tempting to pass by

sharpen up those fangs
sharpen up those fangs
sharpen up those fangs
sharpen up those fangs
sharpen up those fangs
sharpen up those fangs
sharpen up those fangs




More Bad Times

1, 2, 3, 4

You never had rabies
You never gained weight
You never drank poison
You watched what you ate
You never came home with a terrible scar
You never so much as put a scratch on my car
You never got measles
You never got gout
You never got dizzy
And you never fell out
You never suggested we all play charades
You never picked up any live hand granades

You twisted your ankle
I carried you
You got a divorce
So I married you
You fell off a cliff
So I buried you
I wish there were more bad times to see you through
I wish there were more bad times
Wish there were more bad times (x4)
I wish there were more

You never lost contact
You never leaked oil
You never drank cleanser
And you never ate foil
You never got hurt by sticks and stones
You never choked on any big chicken bones
You never got mauled by a mad baboon
You never lost all the air in your balloon
You never got poked in the eye with a spork
You never got sick from all that leftover pork

You twisted your ankle
I carried you
You got a divorce
So I married you
You fell off a cliff
So I buried you
I wish there were more bad times to see you through
I wish there were more bad times

So many things did go wrong
But the list is not long enough
Not enough bad things to fill up a song

Wish there were more bad times (x4)

I'd rather gather your bones
Than mop up this mess
If I scrub us all spotless
I'll wreck our success
I was holding your hand
When it fell on the floor
When you left you broke the knob on the door
I wish there was more




French Girl

French girl has a problem
French girl has a problem with the world
She sees it as a black place,
a place that wants to strangle her good time
Don't ever get involved with a french girl

French girl has a reason
French girl has a reason for hurting boyfriend
who is strangling her good time,
in this black world

Don't ever get involved with a french girl(Don't ever get involved with a french girl)
No,
I always fall in love with the french girl(I always fall in love, I always fall)

Hey, hey, hey

She'll make your life miserable
She'll make your life miserable
She'll make your life miserable

French girl pouts and wonders
French girl pouts and wonders about the world
She blames the darkness
for wearing scratchy wool in the sun

French girl spends her free time
French girl spends her free time deep in thought
She worries about what she has to go through
just to get to a place where she's happy

Don't ever get involved with a french girl(Don't ever get involved with a french girl)
No,
I always fall in love with the french girl

(Musical break)

No,
I always fall in love with the french girl x5

No




Truckstop Butterfly

truckstop butterfly
covered in gasoline
truckstop butterfly
kiss you till your clean

me and a man with a mohawk on his head
found a dirty butterfly half dead
rainbow of shiny oil slick and stuck on wing
helpless in a puddle muddy thing
seven eleven cherry soda and a pie
30 ton steen grey could in the
sky is dark and drippy though we stop and wonder why
youre runnin late but what a great alibi

far out east in deserts theres a vein of inky gold
here out west you wear it like a coat
me and the man with the mohawk watch you go
follow sun and leave the melting snow
and how i miss you truckstop butterfly
fly so i cant see you truckstop butterfly
i hope you made it and you didnt die
still i do miss you truckstop butterfly



Ghosts Are Everywhere

ghosts are everywhere
inside big old bass tones and deep in the belly of a fish
i cant help noticing their pearly teeth are flickerin
ghosts are everywhere
some are superstars with preformed plastic paste on hair
driving hiding behind sunglasses and just cant help out but stare
and i hear them singing:

na na na na na ghosts are everywhere
over there under there

ghosts are certainly everywhere
swallowing whole trees and startling creatures of the sea
ran into one under my covers and it gave me quite a scare
ghosts are everywhere
flying throught the air with the greatest of ease and landing here and there
never ever ever missing a beat as they pound with some bones
on a foam chair
and i hear them singing

there in the drain there in the sink
there in between all the thoughts that you think
there under my shoe and in garbage sacks
in the middle of a mountain in space where its black
and there everywhere
wandering free and brushing by me
late at night at the store 24
pickin up a box customized cookies
and disappearing throught the door
and i hear them sing

everywhere over there under there
everywhere over there underwear
ghosts are everywhere





Loose Balloon

loose balloon
how high can you fly
youre a loose balloon
before you pop and you die
loose balloon you made that little kid cry
when you took off the sun

just this morning you were flat and deflated
no one knew if you were loved or hated
just another shriveled up loser in a bag
sold to a kid who cried to get ya
held like a kitten he was happy to pet ya
till the kid got a sucker and he opened his hand
free so free now the skies the limit
twenty miles up and its just the beginning
spacemen planets and lunar surface here i come
here i come

people squint to look up
just to see you fly away

now youre absolutely free so dont stop
till you pop




Flame Is Love

i hate to sing another song about love
the flame is something that you should be aware of
im probably not the first one to claim
love is a dangerous flame
nobody knows who lights the fire
put on a log and make it go higher
blow out the pilot light on the stove
because the flma is love and id

get some water from the sink
quickly now take a drink
put out the fire from inside
before it spread and burns like lies
and she had a scar in the shape of a heart

id have to eat an aspirin pie
to cure the pain thats in my eye
ive seen the flame lick and ruck lick and run
you know the flame is love and
people burn and leave their shoes
people usually burn in twos
loves a fire thats quiet and slow
the flame is love im a fire hose and i

hated to sing that song about love
the flame was something that you should be aware of
im probably not the last one to claim
love is a dangerous flame so ill



So Lo So Hi

Bird, you made me walk on dirt
My fin got all hurt
But I didn’t care because I had it in for you
You met me in the mud
We got as close as we could
And that is why I swim and swim down the drain

If I could walk and breathe air
I’d be too scared
I’m back in my pond
And now I feel so…

I’m so low and so high
I swim low and wonder why
Just a fish that wishes he could fly
I’m so low I’m high
I’m high
I’m high

Fish, you made me do the twist
But I almost drowned
The stereo you gave me only made a gurgle sound
When we talk, I blow bubbles
We meet up in puddles
You pour me pond water and I sip it like champagne

I’m pulling out weeds
From my claws and round my feet
I’m back in my tree
And now I feel so…

I’m so low and so high
I fly low and wonder why
Just a bird who wants to learn to swim and dive
I’m so low I’m high
I’m high
I’m high

So low I’m high
So low I’m high
So low I’m high
A fish that can fly
A bird that can dive
I’m so low I’m high
I’m so low, so low that I am high




Poor Turtle

stole and sold for life of leisure
green beetle bass done run clean out of luck
kick it live for the kids in denver
now hes gone from the big yellow rental truck
no chance for electrification
so he could cry his little single coil pickups out
broadcast across this nation
search and destroy and then wtist and shout with my

poor turtle ready to rock and to roll
poor turtle got stole
poor turtle smiling in the summer sun
i know youre the one

dropped hard from the trunk of a pimpin car
skiddin on the cold colorado ice
i stuck on a super secret
ladybug style homing device
i follow the beepin signal
to a shack with a basement room
in and out through a broken window
from a strum to a sonic boom hes my

poor turtle ready to rock and to roll
poor turtle got stole
poor turtle crying on the pawnshow wall
ten dollars is all thats all

i miss my poor poor turtle
i miss my poor poor turtle turtle so much
and his darkness wont turn to day
hes shut tight in his hard shell case
i still dont know if he was guitar or bass
but we made music together
we made music together oh yeah



Rot In The Sun

im gonna rot in the sun

this is a beatiful life just cause it catches the light
gonna let it all slide like butter on a warm knife
this irrelevant high this blue puchbowl sky
yer yer yer hair is blonde but not the brow above your eye
i take my mouth of your foot give up and i feel good
i give up and i feel good im gonna rot in the sun

in the sun in the sun
rot in the sun rot in the sun

dependable star pumps like a heart
you out the core ignore the sweetest part
cause its here to impress with perfect success
even at its worst you know it burns when its best
no protection from the glare and i dont care i don care
im gonna rot in the sun

its round and smooth a controllable cruise
get that match away from that fuse
cause it might explode and goodness knows i dont want to rock and tip and sink the boat
so everbody freeze noboy sneeze
im stuck and stung by the summertime bees and we will



Warhead

lets be there when the manmade sun comes up
keep me warm through the nuclear freeze
lets you and i see whats this city looks like
heated to one million degrees
to hell with stayin underground
drink water from a can
youre a warhead baby
i am a nuclear man

its beatiful to see your face light up
this light a burn this brain of mine
somebody told me ground zero was a happinin spot
basking in the bolistic shine
lets work out a mutual
civil defense plan
you are a warhead baby
i am a nuclear man

some folks got a bunker
and the presidents got a plane
you are my warhead baby
i am a nuclear man

irradiated irradiated baby uh huh



Deleter

i got erased cause shes a deleter
wiped off the face of the earth and gone
shot into space cause shes a deleter
im a repeater shes a deleter now im gone
shes a deleter now im gone

well there used to be blood in my heart but its gone
planets were hangin in space now there gone
i knew this clown downtown but hes gone
what happened to that love that we had its all gone
seas had fish they were full of it gone
used to push now youre pullin it gone
a certain girl could wipe out the world
bu shed be dead and gone without me singin this song cmon

there used to be tears in my eyes now there gone
volcanoes were blowin their tops now there gone
i knew this pig with a wig now hes gone
what happened to the kisses we kissed there all gone
skies and clouds were thick with it gone
i used to be down now im kick it gone
a certain man could ruin my plan
but id be dead and gone without him singin my song cmon
