OFFICIAL LYRIC SHEETS
FOR SPRUCE MOOSE
BAD APPLE
Walked through the doors
Was not expecting more
Was not ready for a war
When she called
Drop off your bag
Said the holy sinner hag
Wasn’t sure if I’d come back
At all
But it’s one bad apple
At the top of the barrel
Of a gun that’s aiming at me
She’s cocked and she’s ready
Couldn’t keep my voice steady
And pretends not to know what I mean
She began to talk
Attacking like a hawk
Voice screeching like chalk
Breaks in my hand
She wanted me dead
For doing what she said
The voices in my head
I couldn’t stand
(Chorus)
Yeah uh huh
Yeah uh huh
Yeah uh huh
Right
Yeah uh huh
Yeah uh huh
We didn’t go down
Without a fight
Struggles to control
Who she thinks an imbecile
Silence I was told
About this tirade
No one ever sees
What happens after three
But I think we can speculate
It was at this time
That I found my true allies
Who brought me back to life
After the battle
Those talking over when we leave
The pathetically naïve
Are led to believe
That she’s infallible
(Chorus)
You know who you are (4x)
Gasoline
The day was done
The night begun
As we orbited
Another sun
Some on logs
Some on the ground
Further beyond
Sirens sound
Knew the source
Had to be there
Trudging through
The thick evening air
Four shadows walked
Through the night
To see if they could find a can (of)
Gasoline (3x)
Back to the fire
It was brought
One of the four
Had the thought
We all rose
Began to unload
We came to close
The can explodes
We were scorched by
Liquid hell
One tried to smother
One tried the well
The flames dances
Towards the house
Thwarted by pants
By Levi Strauss
Gasoline (3)
Big Shot
I’m kinda pissed
Been on a short leash
For too long
Working hard too long
For you to tell me
I’m wrong
Yeah uh huh (4x)
Cause you’re a big shot (4x)
One day your dictating ways
Will come to an end
And at that time
The cup will be passed again
(Refrain)
Loner
Am I a loser
For not breaking down
They get high in their vacuum sky
And leave me standing my ground
The familiar one is back
From the unknown
I am here
But this is really my home
Man you’re on your own (3x)
When you’re on your own
When you’re all alone
When you’re in your zone
Hoping there’s still hope
Gonna take it easy
Maybe I’ll grow my hair long
The crowd will come to me
Not moving if I’m wrong
(Pre-chorus)
(Chorus)
Am I a loser
For not breaking down
They get high in their vacuum sky
And leave me standing my ground
Am I a loner
Aren’t we all
2,000 outcasts
Roam the halls
(Pre-chorus)
(Chorus) (3x)
Not Anymore
The land is not stable no more
It trembles heaves and shakes
Because of the cruel and senseless wars
That haunts the widows they make
The land is not green anymore
In this desolate winter aflame
This sulfuric fog won’t burn off anything
But the life from a man’s name
Not anymore (2x)
The sky isn’t blue anymore
But endless shades of gray
When not filled with the cannons roars
It’s by that of the aeroplane
Man isn’t good anymore
He knows that this is true
Because when he’s not killing himself
There’s nothing for him to do
Not anymore (to finish)
Absence
Nothing seems the same
The world changed by a phrase
Go on green, jet on red
It doesn’t matter what she said
She’s gone (4X)
Time is hard to kill
And I’d rather have it dead
If I can’t have it no one will
If I can’t have it no one will
It’s gone (4x)
I’m not myself these days
My body’s here but my heads in space
Maybe it’s just my lack of sleep
Maybe it’s something much more deep
I’m gone (4x)
Alright
I can’t seem to pay attention
To anything you say
My mind is gone and I am lost
Somewhere in the fray
All right (3x)
Everything’s gonna be alright
I am so happy
Please don’t move
Now I understand
This stuff is crappy
I am good isn’t life so grand
All right (3x)
Everything’s gonna be alright
All right (3x)
Everything’s gonna be alright
Burn
Let it up, let it out
Thats not what its all about
You said to me
I believed everything you told me
I bought and used all the shit you sold me
And what it taught me yesterday
And what I was supposed to say
And what i was supposed tto learn
Now I wanted it to burn
you told me that you were mine
And now I use the same old line
I gave you everything you could need
And when I needed you you let me bleed
Chorus (2x)
Fireants
I was born of fireants
I have a fire in my pants
We dont really have home
We just want to be left alone
Because were fireants
We dont know any better than what we do
Because were fireants
We live beneath a maple tree
We have a warped mentality
We come around to make you sick
And now were gonna come and ruin your picnic
Chorus (2x)
The Time Youre on
Seek a peace thats not your own
Turn around and then youre home
The time youre on is not your own
Speaking what should be concealed
Feelings cannot be reveled
Playing which cannot be dealed
Yeah yeah speak to me in colors
Yeah yeah speak to me in lies
You dont conform to any others
The time youre on is not your time
You try and point out what is wrong
Youre unable to sing that song
The road is hard, the day is long
What was said was said before
Maybe now, maybe never more
You lock hte key and turn the door
Chorus (2x)
Mr. Toms Wild Ride
Once I saw a moose
I thought it was great
I thought it was good
Yeah yeah yeah
We went back to my house
And no one was there
So we watched the TV
Mr Toms Wild Ride
Mr Toms Wild Ride
So there was nothing on
So we went to my room
And we lay on the bed
We took off all our clothes
And we went for a ride
Mr. Toms Wild Ride
Mr. Toms Wild Ride
Happiness is a warm moose
Happiness is a warm moose
Ashes and LAce
Just anotherSunday
Like the one we started on
I knew that something had to be wrong
I felt sorry both times
I used you once and then you died
Those were tears you never cry
Maybe on the inside its worse
Maybe its not quite as rehearsed
There does remaing the sentiment of ashes and lace
I couldnt see that look opon your face
Words of color rise
And tremble to the sky
And stir the echos you leave in your wake
chorus
Everything dies and crumbes down
Everything falls to the ground
Thats the way you wanted it
With ashes and lace
It all burned down adn put me in my place
Chorus(2x)
Cigarettes and Suicide
12:01 AM on the fourth of July
A day-glo god was born and lit the sky
And all the poeple left their beds
Drawn by the light
Television had come to them in the night
The crowd fell silent in admiration
The flickering light of their salvation
"You are the new neon idol" they cried
Deliver us
Deliver us
Deliver us
Deliver us
From our lives
And television did provide
For cigarettes and suicide
And branded slogans into their eyes
Int otheir eyes
Into their eyes
Their need for television began to rule their lives
They cut down their homes to build power lines
They would feed their need in any way they can
But little did they know they were all part of the plan
And when death and despair spread liek a cancer
They turned to their oracle for an answer
But the TVs were silent and they gave no light
They died alone
They died alone
They died alone
They died alone
In the night
They died waiting for their salvation
On their knees
In desperation
With terror burned into their eyes
Into their eyes
Into their eyes
My Song
This is my song
It has no words
Just endless babble
To make your mind turn to mush
(Repeat infinitely)
