Lyrics Guided By Voices - Unspirited

Lyrics Guided By Voices - Unspirited


Even when you're lifted by the lie
Heaven sent and gifted-ask them why
Never give it all up-never try
All their hearts are breaking
Unspirited
The less than life you live
The lessons make you lame, boy
The same, boy
Everywhere that you go, I'm with you now
When you lose it all, you'll think of me
When you take the fall, you'll drink to me
I'm the one who did it painlessly
I'm the one that does it
Unspirited

Lyrics Guided By Voices - Johnny Appleseed

Lyrics Guided By Voices - Johnny Appleseed


You're flying like a fly
In a sky blue sky
You'll be important to the important people
When you die
And I'll settle for a medal
Johnny Appleseed
You're so cherry
You're so cherry
You're so cherry
You're so cherry
You're a breath of insulation
In my draftic attic brain
You're sweeter than the sweet
Cream ladies buzzed on sugar cane
And so the vultures are migrating
To a nastier migraine
You're so cherry
You're so cherry
You're so cherry
You're so cherry
You're so cherry
You're so cherry
You're so cherry
You're so cherry
I'm first lieutenant to you I am
Johnny Appleseed
You're so cherry
You're so cherry
You're so cherry
You're so cherry
I'm first lieutenant to you I am
Johnny Appleseed
Etc...

Lyrics Guided By Voices - Amorphous Surprise

Lyrics Guided By Voices - Amorphous Surprise


Take me closer to you,
Push you in your finite,
Smoke in big pic session,
Lurched in broken promise.

Silence is pretty, finding the city.
Know your disguise above the surprise.

Cheap line flights and jet sky,
Pitch like the royal bastard,
Closed present, I may taste it,
Closer than I may wasted.

Silence is pretty, finding the city.
Know your disguise above the surprise.

Silence is pretty, finding the city.
Know your disguise above the
Surprise your eyes
Above the surprise your eyes
Above the surprise.

Lyrics Guided By Voices - Echos Myron

Lyrics Guided By Voices - Echos Myron


Tower to the skies
An academy of lies
And what goes up
Surely must come down
And we felt the mighty blow-up
With the walls coming down
Or something like that
most of us are quite pleased
With the same old song
And all of a sudden I'm relatively sane
With everything to lose and nothing to gain
Or something like that
man of wisdom and man of compromise
Man of weak flesh in an armored disguise
All fall down

"if it's right you can tell" echos myron like a siren
With endurance like the liberty bell
And he tells you of the dreamers
But he's cracked up like the road
And he'd like to lift us up, but we're a very heavy load
And we're finally here and shit yeah it's cool
And shouldn't it be - or something like that

Lyrics Guided By Voices - Smothered In Hugs

Lyrics Guided By Voices - Smothered In Hugs


In the summer that you came
There was something eating everyone
And the sunshine fund was low
We couldn't greet you
With a simple hello
and the watchers of the flood
Were busy in their chambers
Making sure there was new blood
To sustain their dying veins
but I believed you
No need for further questioning
I'm gonna leave with you
You can teach me all you know
Which way will we go now
On our trip to taller windows
I really don't know now
I really don't know
in the winter that you left
There was business as usual
With the same old fears and frustrations
But the word got out
It was really such a pity
but the judges and the saints
And the textbook committee
Decided you should be left out
Not even mentioned
but I believed you
No need for further questioning
I'm gonna leave with you
You can teach me all you know
Which way will we go now
On our trip to taller windows
I really don't know now
I really don't know

Lyrics Guided By Voices - Underwater Explosions

Lyrics Guided By Voices - Underwater Explosions


Once she was down and she opened crate of secrets darker than she
Underwater explosions, curtains rippling obviously

She can breathe
Since I've been tired, she can breathe
And the shocks are bound to please
And she points to me

To insist on facing the salt and it stings
And certainly that changes things
And she points to me
(Something passes through me)

Cups painted orange and sunburst
Lined up side by side - she keeps them so clean
Brightly they shine in the starlight
But darker places I've never seen

She can breathe
Since I've been tired, she can breathe
And the shocks are bound to please
And she points to me

To insist on facing the salt and it stings
And certainly that changes things
And she points to me
(Something passes through me)

And the sound will carry you on

Lyrics Guided By Voices - Hot Freaks

Lyrics Guided By Voices - Hot Freaks


I met a non-dairy creamer
Explicitly laid out like a fruitcake
With a wet spot
Bigger than a great lake
Took me to the new church
And baptized me with salt
She told me, "liquor"
I am a new man
hot freaks
this one is on the house
This one is better than ever
I walked into the house of miraculous recovery
And stood before king everything
And he asked me to join him in the red wing
Took me to pie land
Said, "I'm a thigh man"
I will be eternally hateful
hot freaks
Hot freaks
Hot freaks
this one is on the house
This one is better than ever
And this one is on the house
This one is better than ever
This one is on the house
This one is better than ever

Lyrics Guided By Voices - The Goldheart Mountaintop Queen Directory

Lyrics Guided By Voices - The Goldheart Mountaintop Queen Directory


Cold hands touching my face
Don't hide - the snake can see you
Old friends you might not remember
Fading away from you
The goldheart mountaintop queen directory
The goldheart mountaintop queen directory
and we looked
And we passed
Through the hallways of shatterproof glass
she runs through the night as if nobody cares
She screams and she cries and ignores all the stares
She wants me to come, but I'm never going there
The goldheart mountaintop queen directory
The goldheart mountaintop queen directory

Lyrics Guided By Voices - Littlest League Possible

Lyrics Guided By Voices - Littlest League Possible


Gonna have a lot of fun
Gonna hit a home run
In the littlest league possible
In the littlest league possible

Go and make a big splash
Don't have the song trashed
In the littlest league possible
In the littlest league possible

The nurse went through
The division of conversation
Where words collide
To be the biggest fish in the smallest pond

I'm the middlesest spider in the arachnid design
Looking and fading out in the Texas league
And meanwhile I took too much and also
From running too fast

You ran out of gas
But that's not possible
In the littlest league possible

Lyrics Guided By Voices - Choking Tara

Lyrics Guided By Voices - Choking Tara


Days into weeks
She rattled my mind
We stayed out all week
And got happy this time
She fills empty space
I kinda need it that way
Crybaby says bye to me
I can't imagine that all our troubles will go away
But I could catch her and break the falls
I could snatch her with breaks and claws
Today when every fake it
Decides to make it
They just can't take it away
Shove it, cus I'll just stay
Like an ugly unwanted stray
Don't care what you say
(intermission)
(no more skinny cheeks
And distributors of poison)

Lyrics Guided By Voices - Don't Stop Now

Lyrics Guided By Voices - Don't Stop Now


Woke up one morning saw a rooster
Struttin' by my house
6 pack rings round his neck
"Cock o' the block"
Don't stop now
Don't stop now

What keeps big daddy happy?
What makes the buzzard buzz?
A leaky quart of motor oil
"Head for the hills"
Don't stop now
Don't stop now

We pulled into economy island
"King shit and the golden boys"
Plenty more where we come from
"Top o' the line"
Don't stop now
Don't stop now

Don't stop now
Don't stop now

Lyrics Guided By Voices - Atom Eyes

Lyrics Guided By Voices - Atom Eyes


I'm dreaming and so it must be true
Nothing else could look as good as you do
And so in a rocket go
Up to where the astros flow into space
Don't hold me down

Atom eyes, don't worry your brain
Take a break from everyday
Sell the house, the car, the pain
(Just be sure to live again)
Atom eyes

I'm running away from your clues
Atomizer sprinklers are spraying perfume
Escape a lobotomy
There's a million heartstrings ready to fly
Let's pull them now

Atom eyes, don't worry your brain
Take a break from everyday
Sell the house, the car, the pain
(Just be sure to live again)
Atom eyes

Atom eyes, don't worry your brain
Take a break from everyday
Sell the house, the car, the pain
(Just be sure to live again)
Atom eyes

Lyrics Guided By Voices - Discussing Wallace Chambers

Lyrics Guided By Voices - Discussing Wallace Chambers


Discussing Wallace Chambers
I hear you talking
Distoring Wallace Chambers
Obscene, not absurd
Convincing Broderick Lewis
Crawl before walking
Original no-neck savage
Fishing for birds.
You walk into the room
Without a broom
To sweep away time lost
At all cost
Wallace hears everything
Wallace hits everything
Wallace hunts everything
Wallace hurts everything
Wallace hates everything

Lyrics Guided By Voices - Sensational Gravity Boy

Lyrics Guided By Voices - Sensational Gravity Boy


Long road black road touch the road
It's a hard road
Spontaneous combustion
Final decision it's the only way
Straight up off from the aggressive rock
Intelligensia
But I feel no pain
From the vacuum that sucks me in
Chorus: I saw you drifting away
With your car today
With the world rushing by
In the wink of an eye
Move away from the whip
On the reality ship
And the world is a toy
For sensational gravity boy
Words in the important points
Is the assassin
Models just them figurines
Yeah just the ones we chose to keep
Look them over vaguely spacy
He spots them
And he will not change
He is a trooper when it comes to that
Chorus

Lyrics Guided By Voices - Tractor Rape Chain

Lyrics Guided By Voices - Tractor Rape Chain


Why is it every time I think about you
Something that you have said or implied makes me doubt you
Then I look into your cynical eyes and I know it
As if it never meant anything to me

Parallel lines on a slow decline
Tractor rape chain
Better yet, let's all get wet on the tractor rape chain
Speed up, slow down, go all around in the end

In the first place it's probably just paranoia
But there's a ghost in my room and he says I better run
It's a thing I know
It's a thing I believe in
Won't you tell it to go away?

Parallel lines on a slow decline - tractor rape chain
Better yet, let's all get wet on the tractor rape chain
Speed up, slow down, go all around in the end
Speed up, slow down, go all around in the end

Lyrics Guided By Voices - She Wants To Know

Lyrics Guided By Voices - She Wants To Know


She wants to know which way the wind blows
And which way to go, I'm never gonna tell her
And she wants to know why I'm been hiding myself out on the road alone
Where no one knows my number
She wants to know why I can't take it slow
And why I can't settle down, but I'm never gonna burn out
She wants to know why I've been lyin' to myself -- playing a loser's game
Fightin' a losin' battle
Far away, that's where I'll be
Shine a light down hard on me
[She wants to know which way the wind blows
And which way to go, I'm never gonna tell her
And she wants to know why I'm been hiding myself out on the road alone
Where no one knows my number]
[Far away, that's where I'll be
Shine a light down hard on me
Down hard on me
Down hard on me]

Lyrics Guided By Voices - Liquid Indian


Arcane offices delivering deluxe information:

1) the quaker's seal of approval
2) more movies less trivial pursuit

I'm a born again boot stomping witch-humper
Are we there yet?
The skips and flips are taking sips of

Soft clay orifice
Quivering like new structures and formations

A perversion not known to the perfect ones

A stinging disruption, alas
It is quick like the ultimate brush-off

Is it time yet?
We've coupons and stamps
And valuable cramps from

Lyrics Guided By Voices - Ghosts Of A Different Dream

Lyrics Guided By Voices - Ghosts Of A Different Dream


Friend of mine, what did you find?
The fog of a nightmare dissipating
A rolling sign better than mine
The ghosts of a different dream are waiting
A different kind of kiss
The souls of a different mist are rolling
I've been inside but missed
The ghosts of an opening fist are calling

The troops are led in tournament red
In spite of the ogre's trumpet blaring
A world of hate can't penetrate
The crest of a different shield you're wearing
A different kind of fight
Keep those telephones-a-ringing
I've been inside alright
The ghosts of a different dream are singing

Lyrics Guided By Voices - Ester's Day

Lyrics Guided By Voices - Ester's Day


Jimmy was a fly
Got sucked in by an actor
And wrapped in a cocoon
And skin-tight buffoonery
Now heres the plan...

Scene from esters day
Of running backward courses
With a horse of different forces
Lying wings of films
That seem to never see the screen
Couldn't bear to face their dreams

Down and out
Couldn't bear to shout it out

Brought up on the road
A sparkle shiny diner
Is the home for wayward minor
In a flying car that seems
To whisper in an ear
Lets just go get out of here

Down and out
Couldn't bear to shout it out

Down and out
Couldn't bear to shout it out...
