    Acid Bath: Old Skin

    WE smoke the toenails and hair of the wiseman under a BLACKGOD's thumb we dance like painted puppets we eat the wiseman's eyes she bleeds orgasm in techni-color an ocean of alien mystery for sight that we might see the darkness if we kill the lights fast enough we burn the dry shell, a funeral chant that our eyes can open wide enough the pulse quickens and we dance we eat the brain and pray this celebration of old skin a scattering of dust to the winds as the blossoms fall screaming to consume you I feel every flower that is the earth and sky your cradle so is the way of forever the earth and sky entomb you beatings in cold rooms teeming with simple cruelties hands and head not found

    This isn't my final answer but I love The Vandals' Flowers Are Pretty:

    Children are lovely before they get ugly, and learn to do bad stuff.
    Flowers are pretty before they get shitty, and rot and turn to dust
    I heard that life is a wheel and you can't make it stop
    If you try it'll flatten your head
    It's a circle of shit we're in the middle of it
    but soon we'll all be dead

    Like everybody else that ever lived before, the things you make fall to the floor
    and nobody knows how hard you tried, it's been that way since the start of time-
    There was a caveman that did some amazing things
    but nobody here gives a fuck
    And in a thousand years they'll feel the same
    towards all the things you've done

    [Chorus:]
    So don't worry what might give you cancer-
    or stay up nights just wanting answers
    Its just a crap shoot, but it's mostly crap
    things start off they're so terrific
    they'll fuck up it's scientific
    Entropy, uncertainty won't yield to you

    Love at first sight on a beautiful night and a feeling so divine
    gets sucked down the toilet cuz something will spoil it
    with the good times left behind you
    Don't try to figure out who's at fault
    powerful forces abound
    like a twig on a river in the universe
    tomorrow you'll probably drown

    (Chorus)

    And all the things that matter most
    disappear, here's a toast
    to erosion and corrosion, Alzheimer's and pain

    Don't try to figure out who's at fault
    there's powerful forces at play
    and if you lose your legs and have to beg
    it's really all the same

    (Chorus)

    #2 would have to be SCREAM OF THE BUTTERFLY
    A creature made of sunshine
    Her eyes were like the sky
    Rabbit howls like something old as we twitch to her lullaby
    The scalpel shines in god's sunshine
    Street lights whisper pain
    Down here near the poison stream our god has gone insane

    She smiles like a child with flowers in her hair
    With blood on her hands into the sun she stares
    She feels it die, I heard her cry (verse x2)

    Like the scream of the butterfly

    Sunshine a house in flames
    She likes it where she gets it but it's never felt the same
    Surgery in the house of dissection
    When your candle burns out I will resurrect you
    She runs through fields of daisies
    Yeah it's just a shame that they eat their own babies
    Who cares cause the air is free
    When you get there will you kiss the dead for me?

    There's blood on the moon and the summer is cold
    There's love in the room but baby that's gettin' old
    There's blood on my face sittin' on a dead shore
    A highway of emptiness and I'm gettin' bored

    There's blood on the moon as we plan our escape
    The goddess in bloom, handcuffed and raped
    There's blood in the bathtub, baby, murder the king
    There's blood on the moon
    There's blood on just about everything

    Sunshine a house in flames
    She likes it where she gets it but it's never felt the same
    Surgery in the house of dissection
    When your candle burns out I will resurrect you
    She runs through fields of daisies
    Yeah it's just a shame that they eat their own babies
    Who cares? 'Cause the air is free
    When you get there will you kiss the dead for me?

    Something cold is forced inside her
    A tear spills down her cheek
    Stillborn songs of a dead dreamer
    Hymns of the needle freak
    With sunlight in her hair she smiles like she don't care
    Her dreams are liquid blue
    I cut myself again and again to remind myself of you

    She smiles like a child with flowers in her hair
    With blood on her hands into the sun she stares
    She feels it die, I heard her cry (verse x2)

    Like the scream of the butterfly (x2)

    I met an angel with a sawed-off shotgun
    Wanted by the FBI
    We dropped some acid, killed our parents
    Then we hit the road
    Like the scream of the butterfly (x4)

    Well, the clock says it's time to close now
    I guess I'd better go now
    I'd really like to stay here all night
    The cars crawl past all stuffed with eyes
    Street lights share their hollow glow
    Your brain seems bruised with numb surprise
    Still one place to go
    Still one place to go

    Let me sleep all night in your soul kitchen
    Warm my mind near your gentle stove
    Turn me out and I'll wander baby
    Stumblin' in the neon groves

    Well, your fingers weave quick minarets
    Speak in secret alphabets
    I light another cigarette
    Learn to forget, learn to forget
    Learn to forget, learn to forget

    Let me sleep all night in your soul kitchen
    Warm my mind near your gentle stove
    Turn me out and I'll wander baby
    Stumblin' in the neon groves

    Well the clock says it's time to close now
    I know I have to go now
    I really want to stay here
    All night, all night, all night

    Woodstock - Joni Mitchell

    I came upon a child of God
    He was walking along the road
    And I asked him where are you going
    And this he told me

    I'm going on down to Yasgur's farm
    I'm going to join in a rock 'n' roll band
    I'm going to camp out on the land
    I'm going to try and get my soul free

    We are stardust
    We are golden
    And we've got to get ourselves
    Back to the garden

    Then can I walk beside you?
    I have come here to lose the smog
    And I feel to be a cog in something turning.

    Well maybe it is just the time of year,
    Or maybe it's the time of man
    I don't know who I am
    But you know life is for learning.

    We are stardust
    We are golden
    And we've got to get ourselves
    Back to the garden.

    By the time we got to Woodstock
    We were half a million strong
    And everywhere there was song and celebration

    And I dreamed I saw the bombers
    Riding shotgun in the sky
    And they were turning into butterflies
    Above our nation.

    We are stardust
    Billion year old carbon
    We are golden
    Caught in the devil's bargain
    And we've got to get ourselves
    back to the garden.

    lol Long lyrics.. you want BOB DYLAN..

    They’re selling postcards of the hanging
    They’re painting the passports brown
    The beauty parlor is filled with sailors
    The circus is in town
    Here comes the blind commissioner
    They’ve got him in a trance
    One hand is tied to the tight-rope walker
    The other is in his pants
    And the riot squad they’re restless
    They need somewhere to go
    As Lady and I look out tonight
    From Desolation Row
    Cinderella, she seems so easy
    “It takes one to know one,” she smiles
    And puts her hands in her back pockets
    Bette Davis style
    And in comes Romeo, he’s moaning
    “You Belong to Me I Believe”
    And someone says, “You’re in the wrong place my friend
    You better leave”
    And the only sound that’s left
    After the ambulances go
    Is Cinderella sweeping up
    On Desolation Row
    Now the moon is almost hidden
    The stars are beginning to hide
    The fortune-telling lady
    Has even taken all her things inside
    All except for Cain and Abel
    And the hunchback of Notre Dame
    Everybody is making love
    Or else expecting rain
    And the Good Samaritan, he’s dressing
    He’s getting ready for the show
    He’s going to the carnival tonight
    On Desolation Row
    Now Ophelia, she’s ’neath the window
    For her I feel so afraid
    On her twenty-second birthday
    She already is an old maid
    To her, death is quite romantic
    She wears an iron vest
    Her profession’s her religion
    Her sin is her lifelessness
    And though her eyes are fixed upon
    Noah’s great rainbow
    She spends her time peeking
    Into Desolation Row
    Einstein, disguised as Robin Hood
    With his memories in a trunk
    Passed this way an hour ago
    With his friend, a jealous monk
    He looked so immaculately frightful
    As he bummed a cigarette
    Then he went off sniffing drainpipes
    And reciting the alphabet
    Now you would not think to look at him
    But he was famous long ago
    For playing the electric violin
    On Desolation Row
    Dr. Filth, he keeps his world
    Inside of a leather cup
    But all his sexless patients
    They’re trying to blow it up
    Now his nurse, some local loser
    She’s in charge of the cyanide hole
    And she also keeps the cards that read
    “Have Mercy on His Soul”
    They all play on pennywhistles
    You can hear them blow
    If you lean your head out far enough
    From Desolation Row
    Across the street they’ve nailed the curtains
    They’re getting ready for the feast
    The Phantom of the Opera
    A perfect image of a priest
    They’re spoonfeeding Casanova
    To get him to feel more assured
    Then they’ll kill him with self-confidence
    After poisoning him with words
    And the Phantom’s shouting to skinny girls
    “Get Outa Here If You Don’t Know
    Casanova is just being punished for going
    To Desolation Row”
    Now at midnight all the agents
    And the superhuman crew
    Come out and round up everyone
    That knows more than they do
    Then they bring them to the factory
    Where the heart-attack machine
    Is strapped across their shoulders
    And then the kerosene
    Is brought down from the castles
    By insurance men who go
    Check to see that nobody is escaping
    To Desolation Row
    Praise be to Nero’s Neptune
    The Titanic sails at dawn
    And everybody’s shouting
    “Which Side Are You On?”
    And Ezra Pound and T. S. Eliot
    Fighting in the captain’s tower
    While calypso singers laugh at them
    And fishermen hold flowers
    Between the windows of the sea
    Where lovely mermaids flow
    And nobody has to think too much
    About Desolation Row
    Yes, I received your letter yesterday
    (About the time the doorknob broke)
    When you asked how I was doing
    Was that some kind of joke?
    All these people that you mention
    Yes, I know them, they’re quite lame
    I had to rearrange their faces
    And give them all another name
    Right now I can’t read too good
    Don’t send me no more letters, no
    Not unless you mail them
    From Desolation Row
