Cat of '99
I heard her whip was fast and fine
at once subliminal and sublime
she falls and flies away just fine
cat of 99
lives lost on the wire
pants lost to the fire
fire lost to the grass
this is how we behave
to come away unscathed
cat of 99
She Caught you tripping on her tail
she's shedding skin with every flail
And yet you're still crossing her trail
cat of 99

What Donnas Do Now
02:02

She's burning me up
Like an analogy
That I just can't work out
I didn't care
Now I wanna know
What Donnas do now
Her skin was never
Bathed in the blue light
of my 3 disc changer
I didn't stare
Now I wanna know
What Donnas do know
They are just footnotes baby
Scribbled at the bottom of our lives
You can't follow an asterisk
Like it was a North Star
not too far

Speed of Motors Kill
02:23
|

|
Her quips are quick boomerangs
And she caught it in her bangs
She's baring all her fangs
And it bores her
One million paperboys died
When she backed out of her drive
We're running out of lives
She's gunning out
If there was any doubt
She gets her thrills
At the speed of motors kills
Her ponytails a lit fuse
When you swerve into her view
There's nothing left to do
But mouth it out
The distance between two lines becomes dangerous sport
Take infinite left turns into my marathon court

Japan Ash

You're Japan Ash
at the end of an eyelash
weird wheels to the arms race
fell into her second place
with this sad news
you'll be reduced
to Japan Ash
She's Japan Ash
or so it says on her sash
standing there quite armless
and staring here quite harmless
and with your bold views
she'll be reduced
to Japan Ash
Intermission at the shadow play
all her blacks have turned to gray
it's the third time you drove by today

I'm coming at you with maximum middle
the city's burning down, I'm playing second fiddle
ain't no sphinx, got no riddle
the whitest way to say
Baby's got a six I want to' cover
I've got a fix, I want another
All virgins in Hottest Makeout Session
now we are the Fathers of Contraception
All apologies, no concession
the palest way play
Baby's got a six I want to cover
I've heard you mix, I want another

Heathers of Gunmetal
01:53
|

|
One finger on the pulse
a foot on the pedal
how could they be anything but
The Heathers of Gunmetal
You only have to pick
every other petal
If you want anything from
The Heathers of Gunmetal
May your hair hiss
It's just a bad joke out of myth

Wax Wasp

Wax wasp why do you fly around
A sun that's always falling down
It comes up
You go down
Wax wasp drowns
Wax wasp, one string that always drones
I phone it in, it's you I phone
Heard a buzz
In you bones
Wax wasp moans
Why is it you can't see?
Nothing is underneath your wings

I will never ever know
whether I'm hot shit
or I am witch tit
and which way the quicksilver flows
maybe I need a hit
just a little bit
of wild drugs off the horses
I don't know who her source is
