Journey To the Edge of the Knife - Lyrics

BE A MAN

Back in the caveman days giant creatures
roamed through the land
But he was a peace-loving ape—killing mammoths,
it weren’t in his plans
Cavewoman rolled her eyes and smirked and put a spear in his hand
Said “Get your hairy as out there right now, and be a man!”

Well Jesus and Mary Magdalene were in the old Holy Land
He said “My dad’s gonna have them sacrifice me like a lamb
And that I gotta let ‘em nail me up, baby, don’t know if I can!”
She said “I got one thing to say to you—Goddammit, be a man!”

Adolph and Eva sat in the bunker—it looked like the end
He says “I can still make a comeback, Baby, yeah, I got a plan”
She just bit down on her poison capsule, put a gun in his hand
She says “You know what to do, Gottenhimmel, ya, be a man!”

HANK’S PIMP
He cleans my cell
He gives me his cash
He washes my drawers
And I—I kick his ass!

It’s who I am it’s what I do
I am Hank’s pimp
I’m Henry P-I-M-P-I-N’

He takes all my bullshit
He laughs at my jokes
He does my hair
I—I trade him for smokes

He writes me poems
He sings me love ballads
He calls me “Daddy”
And I—I toss his salad

It’s who I am it’s what I do
I am Hank’s pimp
I’m Henry P-I-M-P-I-N’

4-F
I’m gonna find a motherfucker—tonight!
I’m gonna feel a motherfucker—tonight!
I’m gonna fuck a motherfucker—tonight!
I’m gonna forget a motherfucker—tonight!

MEURTE VOUS
I’ve got to tell you my story
Though it’s like, it’s all like "meurte vous"
Cuz see, I miss my friend
And I miss my other friend too
Well, I heard a rumor…
Yeah, that poison ivee
Where did they go?
I think you know...

I’ve got to tell you about my journey
My journey to the end of the knife
See, cuz I miss my wife
And I miss my other wife too
Well, I swear I seen the scratchin’
That poison ivee
Where did they go?
Cuz I miss them so
Where did they go?
I think—I think you know….
They went to ….HEAVEN!

CO-ANGLE PHENOMENON
Co-Angle phenomenon—I’m going fishing
For men
You know who I am
Co-Angle phenomenon—I’m going fishing
For men
Oh yes, and women too

J. EDGAR
This stinking life it keeps me jumping
It seems like it’s always something
No matter who I’m humping
I can’t stay—got to go
Well they call me “J.Edgar”
I’m going south

I keep on trying, I keep on flunking
And my stinking heart, it keeps on pumping
I do what’s right and I just take my thumping
I’ve got to go, got to roll
Well they call me “J.Edgar”
I’m going south

LET ME OUT
They smell like armpit and asshole, like spilt beer and hassle—Let me out!
He hits the pipe every night then he gripes and he fights—Let me out!
She says that I’m talking smack—she’s too fat to do crack—Let me out!
They leave ballons in my room, bend and burn all my spoons—Let me out!

Well, they quote verse and chapter to get zapped by the Rapture—Let me out!
And they quote all the quotes in the ol’ hope-a dope—Let me out!
Cuz Ayatollah or Pope, nope, I won’t drop the soap--Let me out!
Because that’s all she wrote---th-th-th-th-that’s all folks!—Let me out!

I got stone cold-cocked I got socked I got rocked—Let me out!
I’ve heard all the talk—I’ve been mocked I’ve been jocked—Let me out!
I’m sick of kitschy ad-pitchers and binary bitchers—Let me out!
All them old duffs in their lofts who got soft can fuck off—Let me out!

YOU DON’T WANT ME?

You don’t want me?
FUCK YOU
