LYRICS
TURN IT ON / HIGH ON A FLASHBACK [3:45] MP3
I'm trippin' on Don Kirschner
Spacin' out to the TV screen
Get my inspiration
From a rock magazine
I was an 8th grade hipster
I was all decked out to play
Strikin' poses
In my mama's macramé
I never believed in the fast track
'Cuz life is just a dream, and I'm flyin'
High on a flashback
Backseat lover
I lost my cherry at 13
Preacher's daughter
While we're crankin' up the Queen
return to song list
NEW KING OF JAPAN [3:18] MP3
Gather round
If you're lookin' for a ride
To the new downtown
Future sound
Hear the neon buzzin' by
Trippin', drunk, and high
Tokyo city
Visions of sugarplums
And cherry blossoms bloom
Feels like I'm walkin' on the moon
Help me if you can
I've been drinkin' with the band
I'm the new king of Japan
Boys, we're livin'
Gather round
Revolutionary sound
Turn the lights up high
Talk is cheap
But with a little sleight of hand
It's a freak show,
Sneak-a-peek show,
Poster children of the week show

(SO FAR) OFF BROADWAY [4:20] MP3
Cinderella girl
She dream about Hollywood
Flimsy tinsel town
Big party underground
Since she was 16
A bona fide bottle blonde
Opened all the stops
Pulled on her rubber gown
You're so far off Broadway
Everyday, boring day Broadway
I think I heard her scowl,
"All the princes are vagabonds"
Kicked her pretty heels
And pushed 'em to the ground
Starry-eyed and free
She beat all my rhythm down
Kitten in a cage
I dream I'm gagged and bound
Ya know you look like I should feel
They say you gotta dream to make it real
Every day I wanna beat the doldrums down
But every Cinderella story makes me wanna drown
Belladonna blue
She painted up like a clown
Princess of the ball
Merry-go-round and round
return to song list
PEPPERMINT COVERGIRL [3:58] MP3
Amphetamine Maybelline
Don't smear your lipstick, honey
Baby blue and tangerine
She take her tea with money
My, my
Peppermint covergirl
Amphetamine sugar sweet
One drink, I'm already drivin'
A million miles a minute
So cool, I'm drownin' in it
No you'd never lose your mind
No you'd never lose control
Long enough to let go
So tell me that I've lost my head
I'm crazy some have said
To want you as I have
Call me pathological
Misguided, warm, and fuzzy
My peppermint covergirl
You might figure it out if you're lucky

WHAT GOES ON? [3:45] MP3
Will the wounds of your yesterday release?
When the past fades so fast, would you return?
When I'm standing right beside you all the way
Would you still run if I'd come to fashion wings?
But what goes on?
When you teach me it's the most important thing
Are you willing to embrace some for yourself?
There are martyrs born to each and every age
How I'm longing for your longing to be filled
But what goes on?
Up there beyond, what goes on?
In our younger years we hoped we'd find today
Now today's malaise makes us want to return
But if I could fashion for you just one wing
How I'd fly around you circling happily
Run along
Why don't you run alone?

ANGIE
& THE TRASHCAN FANTASY DANCEBAND [3:41] MP3
Angie sails solo and lonely
And she dreams of a purple-eyed pony
Ancient spells spark electric thunder
Fly so high on the spell that she's under
So enhanced, man
Ecstasy trance land
We're the trashcan fantasy danceband
Angie swears, yeah, she's liberated
Dance 'til dawn, scarlet passion paraded
Ancient heels of Achilles she's plunder
Fly so high on the spell that she's under
She's in the bag, man
In the bag, man
With the trashcan fantasy danceband
We're all she'll ever wanna love

AMERICAN DREAM (TELEVISION) [4:00] MP3
Freaked out, ya bought the corporate dream
Precious and young
Free fall, bashed your head on the screen
Television
Blind date with the heroin chic sexy skeletons
Free love on the big city scene
Because you got down the new religion, mama
It's the American Dream, now, mama
Television
Bells ring, drag your ass outta bed
Precious and young
Smoke this just to wake up your head
Mental medicine
You gotta dress all the part, gotta walk like the dead
Fashion
Revolution of tarts takin' over my bed
Ya tried breakin' out
Ya tried breakin' down
Teary-eyed angel
Breathe, love, let's settle down
return to song list
GONNA FIND HER [3:19] MP3
These thorns that prick our sides
Beloved mama died
I tell ya sister, I've been a-searchin' through this
Though I have missed her
We're gonna find her
I've felt love's eternal kiss
I wanna promise you some of it
I tell ya sister, you think life is unkind
And I am with you
But we're gonna find her
So let's toast a drink tonite
To all radiance and light
I tell ya sister, it's so warm and divine
'Cuz you got an angel face,
Yeah, you got an angel face
Ya

PEEL IT OFF [3:07] MP3
For Britney
Candy girl
You're the cat's meow
Lollipop
You're a trollop now
So peel it off
A pretty pop tart in her underwear
Purr, purr
Peel it off
Piss and strut
For the vinyl vipers at the mall
Teeny-bop
Dish a little ditty for their balls
I know it's the business baby
Money shot is the Cracker Jack prize
return to song list
WHEEL OF TIME [3:49] MP3
Paper and lace
Fragile and devastating
A smile on your face
I'm crazy, lost, and faded
I'm a teenage broken heart
You're the silver screen
I'm on a power trip
Just feelin' lucky
'Cuz I'm on the wheel of time
I'm on the heels of
Chasin' some peace of mind
Just to feel good
Paper and lace
Baby, I'm devastated
A broken embrace
I'm shady, low, and jaded
I'm a teenage broken heart
On the silver screen
Del Shannon runaway
Pedal to the metal
Leave the world behind
Find some real love
I'm on the wheel of time
On the heels of …
Suicide is near, my love
Happiness and gin
Ain't the pills I'm thinkin' of
Goodbye, girl
return to song list
ATOM BOMB [3:54] MP3
Another typical song about punk rock chicks and nuclear war
Black moon, silver subways
Dolled up for a big night on the town
Hangin' out with the jetset
Musk and radiation get you high
You're an atom bomb
You're the queen of the plutonium underground
Poster child for starvation
Bubble gum self-destruction
Blue lips, pale and moody
Glamour punk, pretty goin' down
Naked underbelly
It's no surprise I'm so turned on
Blow me up, I'm screamin' mayday
