3. Psychic Hearts
[Thurston]
I know you have a fucked up life
growing up in a stupid town
your mother was a mixed up chick
and your father he just fucked around
a little too much for his own good
I'd kill the bastard if I could
I'd kill all the boys with their fucked up noise
and all the bullshit they seem to enjoy
the kids at school
called you slut
nothing but
and what the fuck are they into
the stupid fools
losers assholes suck all the luck
out of the world the world for you
if I can get it back to you I will
and kick their asses all over town
all over town I'll turn it over
and I don't even know you that well
what the hell summer spell

what's it like
going out
and no one knows what you're about
abused and used and cut in two
by hollow man with nothing to do

laugh all the time try to get high
and try to hide behind the lie

they fucked your head up
that's for sure
your heart is ripped now wrapped in fur
but you know that sex is pretty insane
and magic seems to kill the pain
and the things that go on inside your brain
makes you seem to think that you're to blame
don't think about it
throw it out
love 'em all and say it loud
fight the scumbags that slap you around
scream your crazy lost and found
we don't have to tell you what is right
we have all the faith that it was not right

sadness is and sadness was
and sadness will always be because
comfort comes around from the strangest of men

I got no time for sad songs baby
don't need you to say I'm crazy
stick your tongue and you look at me
and I will bite it off you see
push you down onto your knees
do you laugh away the flees

you're not the only one in town
but you're the only one that's got me down
psychic hearts go out to you
a psychic heart go round to you

my prayer to you
is that you do all the things you set out to do
and live your life the way you love
but will you remember one thing for me
I will always love you
I will always love you

4. Pretty Bad
[Thurston]
Patti wants what she can not get
which is you my secret secret pet
knock down, down to first base
and I will chase you down to the space
ah, I know
ah, what you know
ah, play back
ah, play slow

Patti will never give it up
and she knows that I will never stop
teach me how do you make love
I kinda know how much you are rough(?)
ah, I know
ah, what you know
ah, play back
ah, play slow

5. Patti Smith Math Scratch

7. See through Play/mate
[Thurston]

I should never give up
the things that never can stop
why don't people believe
hide all the things that you see

and now I can walk away
on my own

12. Cindy (Rotten Tanx)
[Thurston]
peddle light - I see it's on
I'm drivin by - in my fat mobile
now I know - what it's like
to be a germ - it's shot down deer
oh buy again - it's buy again
fun is me - yeah it never ends
pick it up - and push it in
rub it out - it's a soldier

cinema goes down again
Clint does not move an inch
ESP will work it out
open yr windows give a cindy shout - to me

rock and roll - it's a shame
that you did - all you did bored plain (?)
seek it out - on the grass
fun is me - it's Sashi fresh
purple jack - purple crap
look at me - and sip your sap
pin up boy - pitty the hoar
that rocks a bath - on a cold dish
soon behave
I wanna be
not today
but some time real soon
lock me up
in your bathroom
come and shout
and latch the backdoor - for me

sipping wine - sipping lies
to be sure - it's a worthy cause
fun and games - running things (?)
I can't stay - his share is hot
hotter than hell - sets right style
burnin rubber - on the A.M. dial
with me up - another time
and now I know - I'm blazed out
soon behave
I wanna be
not today
but some time real soon
fox on the run
foxxy light world
roll another one
and burn the light girl - for me

13. Cherry's Blues
[Instrumental]

14. Female Cop
[Thurston]
at night a rock awake
at night a bed awake
I'd light a rocket light
a live with cherry sick
a burning to your heart
a burning patti smart
another look at you
fax every girl who's blue

went on a purple light
went on a purple lit
when all the sea suprime
when all those candles lit
a burning to your heart
a burning patti smart
another look at you
fax every girl who's blue

at night a rock awake
at night a bed awake
I'd light a rocket light
a live with cherry sick
a burning to your heart
a burning patti smart
another look at you
fax every girl who's blue

15. Elegy for all the Dead Rock Stars
[Instrumental]
