1. Press Play [top]
[Instrumental ]
2. Pop's Love Suicide (S. Weiland) [top]
Can you figure out what I want
Pull the trigger with a pop gun
Mindless fools that aggravate it
Pick at you in desperation
Oh it's a love pop suicide
Oh I'm in love pop suicide
Oh I really don't know
Pop life living it is so real
Midwest farmers' kids are milkfed
Breed and incubate what you see
Ten years later here on t.v.
Oh it's a love pop suicide
Oh I'm in love pop suicide
Oh I really don't know
Father can't you love your woman
Father can't you teach your children
Long range love implosion short wicked
Short wave mind explosion
Oh I'm in love suicide
About a pop star homicide
3. Tumble In The Rough (S. Weiland) [top]
I can't eat
I can't sleep
I can't live
I can't cry
I can't die
I can't walk
I can't talk
I can booze
I can booze and steal your shoes So I can move
Tumble in the rough
I'm looking for a new meditation
Still looking for a new way to fly
Don't want any plastic validation
Not looking for a new way to die
I made excuses for a million lies
But all I got was humble kidney pie
So what
I can't eat
I can't sleep
I can't live
I can't cry
I can't die
I can't walk
I can't talk
I can booze
I can booze and steal your shoes So I can move
Tumble in the rough
I'm lookin' for a new stimulation
Quite bored of those inflatable ties
I'm looking for a new rock sensation
Dead fish don't swim around in jealous tides
I made excuses for a million lies
But all I got was humble kidney pie
So what
Can't live, can't buy new shoes (Tumble in the rough)
Lived on a summer with new shoes (Tumble in the rough)
Can't live, can't die - new shoes (Tumble in the rough)
Lived on a summer with new shoes (Tumble in the rough)
I can't eat
I can't sleep
I can't live
I can't cry
I can't die
I can't walk
I can't talk
I can booze
I can booze and steal your shoes So I can move
Tumble in the rough
I made excuses for a million lies
But all I got was humble kidney pie
I made excuses for a million lies
But all I got was humble kidney pie
So what
4. Big Bang Baby (S. Weiland) [top]
I got a picture of a photograph
Of a wedding and a shell
It's just burning itching memory
I never kiss and tell
So turn it up and burn it
There's a hole in your head
There's a hole in your head
Where the birds can't sing along
Does anybody know how the story really goes
How the story really goes
Or do we all just hum along
Sell your soul and sign an autograph
Big bang baby, it's a crash, crash, crash
I wanna cry but I gotta laugh
Orange crush mama is a laugh, laugh, laugh
Spin me up, spin me, spin me out
Station to station send me up and out
Is this what life and love is all about
I think I think so
We used to see in color
Now it's only black and white
Yeah it's only black and white
'Cause the world is color blind
Does anybody know how the story really goes
How the story really goes
Or do we all just hum along
Sell your soul and sign an autograph
Big bang baby, it's a crash, crash, crash
I wanna cry but I gotta laugh
Orange crush mama is a laugh, laugh, laugh
Nothing's for free
Nothing's for free
Take it away boys
5. Lady Picture Show (S. Weiland) [top]
Lady picture show

6. And So I Know (S. Weiland) [top]
And so I know
it's begun again
Never be the same
and with that I said
Never ever be this way again
(Campfire girls make me feel alright)
Hold on till the end
like it's the last hello
Whirlwinds and rollercoasters
Long grass making shapes hello
Disappearing disappearing floating graves
Never, ever, ever, ever be this way again
Never ever be this way again And so I know
It's begun again
Never be the same again
and with that I said
Campfire girls, make me feel alright
Campfire girls, make me feel alright
7. Trippin' On A Hole In A Paper Heart (S. Weiland) [top]
Don't cut out my paper heart
I ain't dyin' anyway
Take a look at eye full towers
Never trust them dirty liars
Sippin' lemon yellow booze
Ol' leadbelly sings the blues
All dressed up on wedding day
Keep on trippin' anyway
I am I am I said I'm not myself
I'm not dead and I'm not for sale
So keep your bankroll lottery
eat your salad day deathbed motorcade
Fake the heat and scratch the itch
Skinned up knees and salty lips
I'll breathe your life
vicks vapor life
and when you binge I purge alike
Let go it's harder holding on
One more trip and I'll be gone
So keep your head up Keep it on,
just a whisper I'll be gone
Take a breath and make it big
It's the last you'll ever get
Break you neck with diamond noose
It's the last you'll ever choose
I am I am I said I'm not myself
I'm not dead and I'm not for sale
Hold me closer, closer let me go
Let me be just let me be
I am I am I said I'm not myself
I'm not dead and I'm not for sale
So keep your bankroll lottery
eat your salad day deathbed motorcade I am I am I said I'm not myself
I'm not dead and I'm not for sale
Hold me closer, closer let me go
Let me be just let me be
I am I am I said I'm not myself
I'm not dead and I'm not for sale
So keep your bankroll lottery
eat your salad day deathbed motorcade

9. Adhesive (S. Weiland) [top]
My friend Blue he runs the show
with hot pink purple china glow
His family trees are molded
no longer grows in summer
He holds it closer lets it go
Picks a fruit but keeps it whole
Can't keep the submaring
Can't keep the light from fading
Grab the hate and drown it out
Grab the beat and drum it out
It's all so confusing
Ain't the same for you and me
Cartoon like reality
Dogs and cats and children
The deepest wound is hidden
Ain't the same for you and me
Comatose commodity
The superheroes dyin'
All the children cryin'
Sell more records if I'm dead
Purple flowers once again
Hope it's sooner hope it's near
corporate records' fiscal year
Down the river
Have a listen lend an ear
Here's a song now if you care
We can all just hum along
Words don't matter anymore
Grab the hate and drown it out
Grab the beat and drum it out
It's all so confusing
Adhesive love Adhesive Flyin' high across the plain
Purple flowers ease the pain
Here now have a listen
Ain't the songs you're missin'
Down the river
Down the river
Stitch the womb and wet the bed
With a whisper I'll be dead
Don't let the living die yet
Grab the hate and drown it out
Grab the beat and drum it out
It's all so confusing
Adhesive love Adhesive
10. Ride The Cliché (S. Weiland) [top]
She no wait but she know me
Intake purge It's my disease
Hold me closer let me be
Hold me closer let me go away
Barely know you know my name
Trip the witch and ride the shame
Just because You're so cliched
It don't mean You won't get paid
Hold me closer let me be
Hold me closer let me go away
Barely know you know my name
Trip the witch and ride the shame
She no wait but she know me
Intake purge It's my disease
Hold me closer let me be
Hold me closer let me go away
Barely know you know my name
Trip the witch and ride the shame
No way

[Instrumental]
12. Seven Caged Tigers [top]
Pass the time kickin' as time rips by
Neither goose nor the gander fly
Buy a minute spend an hour burnin' burnin'
Take a peek as the model earns it earns it
Walk a mile as it keeps crawlin' crawlin'
Clean the politician, wash with everpure
So the answer gets harder
A nd the truth's getting farther and farther
And the bottle keeps churnin'
Seven caged tigers fly by Wastin' time chasing those cows that fly
Churnin' out all that butterfly sugarboost
Track the blade as it swoops downward and onward
Take a pill it'll kill martyrs, martyrs
Passin' time rippin' as time kicks by
Pass the umbilical cord down for this flyby
Take a sneak while the model earns it, earns it
Hike a mile as it keeps crawlin' So the answer gets harder
And the truth's getting farther and farther
And the bottle keeps churnin'
Seven caged tigers fly by
