LYRICS

CASTLE23
I ain’t read the DaVinci Code
I don’t know half the things I’m supposed to know
I don’t need proof to make it clear to see
THAT EVERYONE IS AFTER ME
THERE’S SOMETHING WRONG WITH ME
THERE’S SOMETHING WRONG WITH EVERYTHING
CASTLE 23
Why aren’t I rich by now? Must be conspiracy!
Could it be? It’s what makes sense to me!

GOETZEM
Could have worked at IBM
Could have been a clone of David Stockman
Hairstyle a la Donald Trump
Glasses courtesy Sears And Roebuck
I’ll admit I was looking for trouble
If Stallone would play me in the movie
To fulfill my Reaganite dream
I SHOT FOUR KIDS ON A SUBWAY TRAIN
Not pretty enough for a Bret Easton Ellis Book
But I bet I’m more like how Patrick Bateman looked
I swear James Watts wanted a statue made
All around I saw tshirts with my face
Shot four paralyzed one yet they dropped the case
HI I’M BERNIE GOETZ AND I’M PLEASED TO SEE
THAT YOU’RE WEARING MY TSHIRT
I’M GONNA WALK THE STREETS AND
SHOOT EVERYONE THAT DOESN’T LOOK LIKE ME
Living out my little right wing fantasy
Which was reality because it was the 1980s
Preachers on TV praising God for HIV
White jury claimed they would do the same
Even I could sense the irony
HI I’M BERNIE GOETZ AND I’M PLEASED TO SEE
THAT YOU’RE WEARING MY TSHIRT
I’M GONNA WALK THE STREETS AND
SHOOT EVERYONE THAT DOESN’T LOOK LIKE ME

LA NUIT AMERICAIN/CUT YOU OUT
I trace the gangrene from my chest
To try and map the infection
You drove me from your life after a weekend’s fever
but my body resists the treatment
I don’t even remember what my voice sounds like anymore
I LET YOU IN DOORS I DIDN’T KNOW I HAD KEYS FOR
Trace the heart-shaped scar on me
Where I tried to cut you out of me
Lachrymal-Cardio-Ectomy
La Nuit Americain

L1F34CE (LIFEFORCE)
(Everything’s gone green!)
I can’t quite explain my condition
I’m feeling fine except for this constriction
(I see silver cords and spots now)
I CAN’T FUCKING BREATHE
I’m like a rat in a glue trap
Grinding teeth
I can’t stop it
IT’S ALL GONE GREEN AND I CAN’T BREATHE

LOS MUERTOS BORRACHOS
Hi friends! My name is Ralf!
And I’m a machine that drinks!
It lubricates the machinery
That lets me think
A wind up key in my back
Follow the rails like a model train
Back to the bar stare at the wall
Night after night OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN
I’M LEAVING LAS VEGAS
I WILL DRINK TIL I’M BROKE OR UNCONSCIOUS
I’ve forgotten how this is fun
I’ve forgotten how I started at all
I’ve don’t know how I got here
But I’m gonna stop tomorrow
But I’m gonna start tomorrow
But I’m gonna stop tomorrow
But I’m gonna start tomorrow

NO WIFE NO HORSE NO MOUSTACHE
ABOVE:
Why don’t you just behave?
It’d make things easier
Why don’t you just behave
I will hurt you
BELOW:
Lights out in the reptile house!
No wife no horse no moustache
You got no right
To tell me what life’s like!

NUMBERS
And I’m back in this place
When only stray cats are awake
How can I broadcast to you?
There’s a jam in the signal
Or you don’t pick up at all
Just a bunch of numbers
TRANSMIT PLEASE
FIND IT DECODE ME
I THOUGHT WE HAD TELEPATHY
