3rd Mall From The Sun
- Jamie block
The house is filled with lawyers
The sleeping bags are filled
with liposuctioned salesman
and 100 dollar bills
They're dancing in the bedroom
The ceiling's coming down
There's a girl with plastic eyebrows
Filling out her gown
and everybody talks like Lindsey
and everybody talks like John
Here on the 3rd mall from the sun
I'm walking with my raygun
and my superhero cape
I'm talking eighteen languages
and buying real estate
Jimmy's in the bathtub
with firecracker tan
he laughs just like a cowboy
when his heads not in the sand
and my bulge has gotten bigger
every since I bought my gun
Here on the 3rd mall from the sun
so get yourself a burger
get yourself a scotch
stay up all night pretending
you're something that you're not
'cause gravity's taken over
and my wallet weighs a ton
here on the 3rd mall from the sun
I-95
- Sander Hicks, Jamie Block
There will never be a time
when I can catch my breath
there will never be a time
when you're who I'm with
because you are sick
and you are tired
because you are so sick of being
so sick and tired
when I came in here
saucer-eyed, yearning
I had no way of knowing
it was you who was turning
and I owe you something I won't give away
I owe you nothing I've got nothing to say
and I left you hitch-hiking on I-95
I tried to look back as you diminished in size
It felt good to be gone - to say goodbye
I cannot see you as you
diminish in size - I-95
after the pleasure the confidence and the drugs
after the looks, the cops and the shrugs
we will not remember, I don't think we could
we will forget them like I knew we would
(Chorus)
The Pink House Must Burn
- Jamie Block
RealAudio clip
Cut my nose on the wino's basket
caught myself again dressed for my casket
blew the coup and the scene till I bled
reams of rain falling upside my head
spit my teeth out on Ave. B.
got thrown out for smoking in the land of the free
hopped a subway car - ripped off my clothes
got my bells buttoned and started wearing panty hose
and the Pink House must burn
Rose Mary may when she's sleeping on the roof
calls me through the window when she's feeling bulletproof
writes in magic marker on my bathroom tile
says "Call my girlfriend
then she makes me dial
(Chorus)
Rum Runner Rhoda mixes drinks in her hat
has a party every night in the elevator shaft
mixes high grade wine in St. John's Root
plays guitar solos on the baritone flute
(Chorus)
Cigarettes, Prozac & Scotch
- Jamie Block
Cigarettes, Prozac & Scotch
helped me get over you
nothing else can work
as good as those things do
'Cause you're back in sunny California
and I even wrote this song for ya'
lot a' good that'll do
Cigarettes, Prozac & Scotch
it's a happy combination
give me two on the rocks
'cause I'm going on vacation
(Chorus)
Cigarettes, Prozac & Scotch
don't knock it till you try it
cranks it all up a notch
if you don't believe me - buy it!
(Chorus)
I Used To Manage PM Dawn

My Brit creds good haven't showered
in over a week
got a brand new car and a set of
yellow rotten teeth
My top is down and the sun's
shining in my face
whoever said this world is not a
perfect place
(Chorus)
You boys are good there's no doubt
you're gonna make it big
the last time I sw you were
a greasy little punk rock kid
but now you're singing in key and
your drummer's in time
you boys are ready so call me
when you get yourself signed
(Chorus)
I do not think a regular cd cover will work
for you - Let's fly you guys to Iceland and do a
picture on a glacier - just write it off
take it as a loss man - no big deal
Hey, it's on me - well, actually it's on you -
did you guys ever thin about working out -
your arms are a little flabby - and that
sexual orientation thing - we have to get that straight -
I mean het is so uncool - so here's some paper, yea a
contract, whatever - it's all standard - no, you don't need
a lawyer -
TRUST ME! |
Sick Of Life
- Jamie Block
Well I know that you have to go
home to the mother of your children
and I know that you'll never feel
the peace that Romeo sleeps in
but that'll never stop of from pissing
the night away
drinking in one of these bars, one of these bars
hey you're not sick of life You're just
sock of playing guitar
and your life is like one of those films
where the hero never stands still
and now that you've touched down
here in this bar
I know I'll be paying the bill
but it's worth it just to hear you brag
about the women we both know you never had
we'll never have
hey you're not sick of life you're just
sick of feeling so bad
and the world's passes you by but you're still gonna catch it
be sure to let me know what it's like when you get it
maybe the next fourth of July
maybe I'll see you again
if there's time for one more shot
then you're off to where is it? Oh, yea Amsterdam
but I'll still be sitting here holding this seat
I know in a week you'll be back
you'll be back
hey you're not sick of life you're just
sick of feeling so bad
hey yeah, if you're sick of life
it really ain't that bad
Rhinoceros
- Jamie Block
RealAudio clip
When the dream time ends open my eyes
look around
got to hop-scotch my way over the bodies
buried on the ground
and Laura says "The Fascist boy's taken over town"
Rhinoceros
Ozone fiends lie by the pool bake like Chinese Puppies
and the lifeguard sits on his high stool over the Harbor Yuppies
the umbrella starts shaking, you hear the thunder sound
Rhinoceros
Knock me out with your smile
Knock me out with your hand
I know you pump iron girl and you look like a man
my lawyer said "Hey Jamie, think poppy, think catchy"
Rhinoceros
Baby goes to Hollywood baby gets all messed up
a star explodes in her eye like Phosphorus
she says "When the dream time ends, you just wake up
Rhinoceros
LBG
- Jamie Block, Moz dedeaux
Little Black girl
Silver chain
bone white palms
rubs her eyes
makes her bed
at the crack of dawn
Little White boys
swarm like bees
around her hair
not for laughs
in a market of thieves
not for air
so wait a minute I saw
something strange something raw
Ave. C
the sidewalk swells
a merry-go-round
on an asphalt square
is a place to sell
the junk I found
a little black girl
rides a bear
in a circus of twigs
a lady gets washed - forgets her name
and all my words
so wait a minute I sw
something strange something raw
I said a minute if you came
you could tell me everything
on a frozen lake
a wolf howls high
the world is round
a Little Black girl
bakes her bed
without a sound
Raise
- Jamie Block
Raise the shades one more time for me
so I can see if it's the moon or just my
mind that's out of phase
raise the light into the night into the room
and kill the gloom that's come in many forms
and many ways
Raise
raise your eyes one more time just for a while
and make me smile it's the things we
throw away make me amazed
Raise
(repeat 1st verse)
Raise
It Never Happened
- Jamie Block
I was waiting on every other street
for the day you'd say it's time for us to meet
and you can call it anything you want
circumstance or luck
but please don't say it never happened
the signs that I find when cigarettes go dead
removes the sense there's something in my head
and you can laugh till the moon comes out till the
last subway comes in but please don't say
It Never Happened
'Cause it's spring it don't mean that everything is new
the hearts in the park are still all mostly blue
but I don't want you to tell me something
just because you can so please don't say
It Never Happened
Queen of 5th St.
- Jamie Block
The queen of 5th St.
holds court in a one room flat
the jewels of state in a shoe box
the dogs the diplomat
and the stars on the ceiling
get changed once a year
makes her feel like she's touring
another hemisphere
I used to talk a lot
but lately I forgot
could you take me out to sea
to the sea, to the sea
and I'm her foreign envoy to the store once a month
I fill the cart with everything she could ever want
I'm a roller coaster I'm a Coney Island boy
I used to sing "Earth Angel" and throw her overboard
(Chorus)
