songs you'll never hear

i'll get back to your parking lot
words and music - sulac

c'mon baby let it go
i want to see you wiggle your toes
you're not nervous, you're not old
you're only shaking because you're cold
i'm like a motel for the bugs
i'd shake 'em off but there's too much

if it's over then why don't you just tell me
blast what you see
the vast emptyness
it's just the way it is
or what you told jodi

this is where we've come
i've listed everything
so, just get over it or
make your mind up

the gas station
the empty nest
the vacant building
breaking in

please don't tell me that we can't be together
just because we don't go to the same school
doctor docter i need a new subscription
one to make me go to sleep sleep sleep

mikey and fluke
words and music - liz carroll

unload that pistol
give me a chance
i just wanna see if you wear
the same pants every night

you wonder what i'd like
for a birthday or two
a forty and blunt
down by the train bridge, will do

i loved you once and then you flew

is it another disaster that your after
because your vision is distilling
if i'm my own north
then why is my head, still spinning?

put away that knife my friend
i just wanna dance
set 'em up i'll knock 'em down
my hope's in your hands

california 68
words and music - sulac

california 68
68 pounds
85 in her belly
85 miles

now i wish i had butterflies on my head
turtles crawling up my legs
and the zebras would eat the bugs off of me
while the birds are giving me air

but the snakes are calling my name again

carlos' shoes
words and music - sulac

i feel your pain
it's in my veins
see and say
every ivory day

carlos' shoes are beautiful
carlos thinks it's all wonderful
carlos tells me your an imbecile
what your planning his funeral

everybody knows
it takes time
to pick out your clothes
but you should make up your mind

(someone call security on this spiritual advisor)

oh, my god they're beautiful

i was lying
words - liz carroll
music - sulac

i was lying, when i said
i'd be ok without you
i wasn't thinking with my head
about what you just said

bolt upright in bed
you want a second chance instead
you've got to go now
i don't want to see you hanging out around here anymore

so hit the floor
push down that door
i'll bait you more

rookie hairnet
words and music - sulac

something someone said you should see
it's just another semi-catastrophy
in and when if you were getting out
well at least there's something you can bitch about

lemons, oh don't make me start
it's just nicer paper you can rip apart
lemons, after my daddy's heart
nicer paper you can rip apart

all the letters that i never sent
because you made me stop to think about it before i did
is this what you do to pass the time,
or just another trick you try to keep me in line?

paper clips
words and music- liz carroll and sulac

paper clips, ramming thorugh my lips (i know you can)
try not to pretend like you don't give a shit (hear my car horn)
hammer down fingernails filled with glue (or see me screaming)
i see you i smell you i see you (as you drive by)

in box out box hot box (i know you can)
pour it in to piss it out shut your mouth (hear my car horn)
your heartless and selfish and part of this (or see me screaming)
the problem, the problem is cowardice (as you drive by)

thermometer
words - liz carroll
music - sulac

drive back roads to your house
but you aren't there, you left me out
running feels like it might be right
maybe i'll just go out tonight

you point me here and you point me there
lost in your walls my drooling stare
a big black fog that says, "I Care."
but i can't feel anything

hit the bars around town
i couldn't even muster up a frown
wondering where you are tonight
cause i don't think i know

wishpond operator
words and music- sulac

all the bumper cars refuse to drive
Fairview, Fairview
leather backseat holds the old blue man
Crenshaw, Crenshaw

the wishpond operator is waiting right there for you
down in the graveyard, having a drink or two
the wishpond operator is gonna be there when you die
down in the graveyard watching your loved ones cry

red wine stains the tombstone roses
Roselawn, Roselawn

i drop a nickel in everyday
Rest Haven, Rest Haven

pomos criscos
words - liz carroll
music - sulac

come with me, and hold my hand
i'm just trying to help you take a stand
stay close, don't go far
play so i can see where you are

uh oh, too bad you just let go

come with me, and hold my hand
i'm just trying to help you be a man
you think your life is filled with nothing, nothing
come with me and i'll show you something, something

very wrong dialect
words and music- sulac

it's the hardest thing to be alone
but not as hard as keeping her from going crazy
it makes you want to cry or scream, or run, or fight, or cry
you just can't tell, no, you just can't

everytime you wish that you could go to sleep
your way too high and it's to late to do anything
rocks in your mouth, cobwebs in your head
you're flipping out of a treelimb as a kid

all my old records
might make you remember
it didn't use to be december
all the time

Shift or Shine
words and music - sulac

after all this time
you'd think i'd know just what to do
after all this time
i've still got to wait for you
you we're such a lunatic
throwing cans of lemonade
i knew you'd be back for more
even as you drove away
i told you fifteen times
to give it back or throw it away
your perfume smells like alchohol
and i just wish you'd go away

shift and shine
and call me back another time
i don't want to talk about this right now
it'll be fine if it only takes a little time
to break your neck and act like a clown
believe me, i can show you how

Fidgets
words -jenifer hamel
music - pomo cristi

living in the land of the fidgets
it's wiggle wiggle, tap tap, bounce, shift, move
you can't sit still, no you can't sit still
be it burning calories, or a nervous tic
and it's bounce that leg, tap-tap-tap-that pen

oh, squirm fleshy bottom shaking twitching flashing tossing
ants in the pants, worm in the ashtray
jumpy, juicy, toe tap, hand slap, twitchy, shakey
rollin rockin like you get eletricshockey
fidget fidget fidget like a little monkey gidget
you even fidget when you're fast alseep

Not My President
(instrumental music - sulac)

Luckspeed
words-by jeff from chicago, jenifer hamel and sulac
music - pomo cristi

luck sped up like some sort of drug
luck altered, out of it's mind

luck has new colors, wiggly worms
carnivalized inside
luck has itself crawling up out of the corner of it's eyes
i know you're tired
patience expires
right down to the wire
with you

luck vidi vici, vidi too much
finding profounds itself
luck has learned to walk
touching why it needs to walk so much

Six More Weeks of Winter
words and music - sulac

i painted a picture of you
got the colors all wrong
made you look like a dude
so i wrote you a letter
but i mispelled every word
coffee stains don't make it better
what would make it worse
now it's happening again
it's the second time in a row

point it outside
you don't want to die
not tonight
well?

you know that i could hug you forever
you know that i know that you know the truth

i'd drive
i'm wired
i'm tired

jen's dream
(jenifer hamel dreams aloud)

pivot or don't (dipshit)
words and music - sulac

it gets so cold in here
answers won't come clear
how do you go on?
when you feel the way you do
used to crack a smile
then after a while
it always went too far
i don't know where we are

it could be so easy
not to fight the undertow
it could be so easy
just to let your body go
it could be so easy
not to fight the undertow
it could be so easy
and you could sink so low

never look in his/her eyes again
never have to look in her/his eyes again no
think i've had enough
load your questions up
your sharpening your teeth
your gonna kill me in my sleep

mama spider
words and music - sulac

everybody knows that we hate eating lunch alone

you've been smoking by the gas tank
to see if it's a sure thing
using up the fireworks
burning up the backseat

i don't want to go
i don't want to tell you so
i don't want to stay
i don't want to go away
can't make up my mind
cause everythings too crazy
i don't know what to do
cause i'm such a fucking baby

you've been smoking by the gas tank
to see if it's a sure thing
you'd empty out the ashtray
just to get it dirty one more time

i ate the salt
slap me on the back of the head
i can tell you're showing off
i think you should go to bed
mama spider run
mama spider run away

terracotta skeleton
words and music - sulac

it's cracking, it's fractured
bones are breaking beneath my skin
a love ever after
it's not that simple, i'm not that dim
i'll retain my water
'til i can tell what mood your in
it's raining, it's pouring
it stops it starts and it stops again
i'm holding you solely
responsible for this gray hair
your stealing my thunder
it's okay, i've got clouds to spare
who's spell am i under
what keeps me coming up for air
it's raining, it's pouring
i'm dry on the surface
i'm dry on the surface

blue candy
words and music - sulac
arrangement - drexel

she's the ma barker of good intentions
a beat up winterful of mishapen intentions

can't behave no other way
it gets colder to find
i can't breath
the bottoms here today
abort everything

sloe shoes
words -liz carroll
music -sulac

why start this, it can't be finished here
too much trouble for just a little a tumble

i adored you, you wrote that song for her
just to piss me off

why start this, it can't be finished here
sloe stumble into your room

i'm alone
words and music - sulac

i once had a vision of a goergous black woman who god like and leaning and shared with me wisdom and how she could listen i spoke to her deepest most darkest most secrets she sold me divisiom and that's when i knew i must drive my carcinogen to the end of the end again

ride it as long as i can
reach out for something
like i hope that it's golden
i know it it'll be cold and bland

well i
wrecked-my-reation
to the officers station
cut off my arm and my leg
reach out for something
like i hope that it's golden
but i don't want to half to fucking beg
i don't even want to fuck you

i am a master of this game
repeating what some one says
and i can hold my breath forever

and merely ask me why
then before you fly away listen at the door to here me cry
i can't
believe it
i must
be leaving
