Turtle on its back in the desert sea
and you look like a cool drink
just slightly out of reach
Draw myself into the shell
waiting on a sign from God
or a nod from hell

Be a believer
Believe everything
You'll be right half the time

Orange Rhyming Dictionary (1998)

Everyone tells me they're crazy
Crazy people aren't so fucking boring
Wake me when you're through being cool 'cause I'm snoring

Dear You (1995)

You don't know what I'm all about
Like killing cops and reading Kerouac

The records I end up liking I don't like right off the bat. I want to call our next record Tenth Listen. That's the test.

If it's sad
you know it's true
God is glad on bluer moons
When your room is all you do
it comes to you

Perfecting Loneliness (2002)
