EL SONGO LYRICS:

 

The Tom Savini Intro
Welcome to El Songo


 

Chorus

We’ve been searching so long

That we all stopped looking too strong

It’s got to feel wrong to be right

Let all them days slouch into night

 

Chorus

 

Everyones Taken to be

The greatest show they watch on TV

Come on and sing you a song

If you don’t mind hearing it wrong

 

Chorus


 

Nevermind
I’m not so ugly if you squint your eyes

And try to imagine a hunk in my size

Try try try oh nevermind

 

I’m not so stupid if you read my mind

My mouth hides all of the diamonds you’ll find

Try try try oh nevermind

 

I’m not so crazy if I take my meds

They’re over the rainbow, I’m under the bed

Try try try oh nevermind


 

Oh!

Tell me have you ever seen trees

Tumbling down with the slightest of breezes ya know

It’s the end of the world oh no

 

Tell me when did you learn to cry

On command while you lay there dying ya sow

All that they reap oh no

All of the assholes and all of the saints

A hand full of is for a satchel of aints

Self painting portraits without any paint 

You’re a stranger to all

 

Sweep

Don’t you ever listen
Don’t you ever listen to yourself

What about them voices

What about them voices on the shelf

Don’t you ever lie

Don’t you ever lie in cheap motels

 

Don’t you ever tell em you’re not well

Fake it ‘till your fine and doing swell

And come sleep away the sky

And sweep it from your eyes

 

Ride off on your pony

Ride off on your pony and kill the dream

Everything is stupid

Everything is stupid as it seems

I know jsut why you cry

I know just why you cry but it ain’t me

 

Lap up all the lies only sleep will tell

Keep away the high so cheap it fell

And come sleep away the sky

And sweep it from your eyes


 

Break
Let me back in the dream

Free from all the lies and the schemes

Where the dark days never come

Just hang my shadow on the sun

I’m so tired of being awake

Please don’t let my dawn break

 

Meet me back in the dream

Bathe in endless love in it’s streams

Where the rat race never runs

And a grain of truth weighs a ton

I’m so tired of heartbeats that ache

Please don’t let my dawn break

Now I’m back in the dream

The everlasting day is agleam

And the nights past are foregone

And the framed picture never drawn

 

Fathers

Some people got friends and some of them don’t

Some of them will leave you and some of them won’t

Some will take you for all that you got

Some give you acid in a school parking lot

 

So grab all the good ones with all that you can

Take em for granted and move to Japan

When you get back take em all out

Fill em up with whiskey until they get gout

 

When they make babies leave em alone

Christ knows you’ve made enough of your own

They start out cute but end up ugly

They puke all over you just when ya get snuggly

 

You’re never in shape all ways out of breath

One foot step from birth and one toward death

And when the end comes alone you will go

And all that you leave is all that you owe
 

Spinning

I don’t know the alphabet

And I can’t tell when water’s wet

I could never see the net

When it scoops me up and let’s me spin

I’m spinning
I spin
I’m spinning

Call me coffee when I’m at rest

Yell “my homefry, you’re the best”
The eggs you laid up in my nest

You can fry em in my chest and spin

You’re spinning

You spin

You’re spinning

 

Got so dizzy I caught my ass

Trying to sit down on the past

I kicked it and the world collapsed

Into this star and here we are we spin

We’re spinning

We spin

We’re spinning

 

Far away from the world

Far away from their world

Fall away from the world

​

Henry

He was inside when he was alone and he 

Always wanted you home

Whether it night whether the day he wanted you to stay

With him and he was your friend

Henry was a good boy and he always will be

Warming my heart and keeping me safe

While

Who done pulled the wool my sun ain’t shining

Who’s the fool to kiss I guess it’s blind men

Like me it’s only up the hill

Give me something I can kill awhile

It ain’t my style to smile

At worlds that drift on words I lift

Out of nothing you might miss

Oh I’ll just sit here awhile

 

Cookies

Bake all your cookies today

Don’t you rake all the leaves they’ll just blow away

Your times better spent sleeping away

The headaches and brain macrame

 

Taste when your tongues in the way

All the paste of your paper mache outer space

Where your suns a blackhole 

Stretching your eyes until everything just looks erased

 

Take all your best toys away

To  a place where no can play or complain

About being on time and 

Have half a mind to leave the other half behind

 

Don't mind when dust hugs your eyes

Don't you know you're just the same

Clinging to life when all you loves an ashtray

 

Fake all the feelings that never awake

Live alone don’t eat all the cake

Never listen to lonesome but when the dawn aches

Give it your name till it breaks

 

Within

Everyones afraid of the devil

Hearts will always melt for rebel

Dragged from the end till we never begin

No eyes, without, hides within

Hold it in

Until your skin shines from within

 

Everyones afraid of the end

Endless day breaks ‘em in

What you take with is all on the chin

Those eyes, burn out, alive within

 

Hold it in

Until your skin shines from within

​

Where Ever

Where ever we go I hope that you throw me

How will you though I've nailed down my own feet

Old penny years seize my gears

Spun into rain ration out my sain

Whenever i go time will slug slowly

And I’ll never know that pay grades below me

Old rabbit ears traced in cheers

Spun into light blinding down to sight

And where ever you go I hope that you’re happy

 

Xmas Alone

It’s another day can you stay awake 

enough till you’re home

Take it all away tell em keep 

the pay it’s never not enough

 

But you don't have to spend xmas alone

No

 

Make it come what may ball it up always

And stay away from love

It’s a stupid pain I can’t believe I’m saying

Keep that head above
 

But you don't have to spend xmas alone

No

 

If the end keeps calling, tell it I’m with you


 

Held

I don’t hear nothing not even the sound of my own voice

Isn’t it funny how angry I get at my own choice

 

Come now it ain't so bad for yourself

You just need someone so bad

No one can help 

Be held

 

I don’t see nothing not even the lights from my own car

Isn’t it crazy how far I can fly from my own star

 

Come now it ain't so bad for yourself

You just need someone so bad

No one can help 

Be held
