Gimme the name and why u like it..

Prison Sex is mine.

"Do unto other what has been done to you

While the idea of prison sex is rather repulsive to me, its not the literal meaning of the words that settle into my mind. Prison sex is a metaphor for how people treat each other. One does not go to jail and look to **** dudes in the ass, he learns this by having it done to him.
Men dont beat their wifes cuz they want to - its what they learned at children when they were beaten. And in a ****ed up way beating **** outa of you wife or raping a fellow inmate makes sense - for at least a moment.

"I have found some kind of temporary sanity with this ****, blood and cum on my hands." - that is perhaps he greatest lyric ever written. it is staggering in its visuality as well as its metaphorical meaning.

This song is furthered by having one of the best videos ever. There is a black menacing puppet that seeks out a smaller white puppet and the black puppet snatches the white puppet and everything goes crazy. Soon after having this done a few times the little white puppet grabs a paintbrush with black pain and paints himself black. Then the newly painted puppet seeks out another white puppet and cycle starts again. A magical display.

If you ever get a chance to see it – do so..

Reflections is so Boss. the drumming in that song is superior, mad tribal.

undertow is my least favorite CD.

Spaniard - what the hell are you waiting for? I suggest you get yourself thier CD Lateralus, its surreal.

Some say the end is near.
Some say we'll see armageddon soon.
I certainly hope we will.
I sure could use a vacation from this

Bull**** three ring circus sideshow of
Freaks

Here in this hopeless ****ing hole we call LA
The only way to fix it is to flush it all away.
Any ****ing time. Any ****ing day.
Learn to swim, I'll see you down in Arizona bay.

Fret for your figure and
Fret for your latte and
Fret for your hairpiece and
Fret for your lawsuit and
Fret for your prozac and
Fret for your pilot and
Fret for your contract and
Fret for your car.

It's a
Bull**** three ring circus sideshow of
Freaks

Here in this hopeless ****ing hole we call LA
The only way to fix it is to flush it all away.
Any ****ing time. Any ****ing day.
Learn to swim, I'll see you down in Arizona bay.

Some say a comet will fall from the sky.
Followed by meteor showers and tidal waves.
Followed by faultlines that cannot sit still.
Followed by millions of dumbfounded dip****s.

Some say the end is near.
Some say we'll see armageddon soon.
I certainly hope we will cuz
I sure could use a vacation from this

Silly ****, stupid ****...

One great big festering neon distraction,
I've a suggestion to keep you all occupied.

Learn to swim.

Mom's gonna fix it all soon.
Mom's comin' round to put it back the way it ought to be.

Learn to swim.

**** L Ron Hubbard and
**** all his clones.
**** all those gun-toting
Hip gangster wannabes.

Learn to swim.

**** retro anything.
**** your tattoos.
**** all you junkies and
**** your short memory.

Learn to swim.

**** smiley glad-hands
With hidden agendas.
**** these dysfunctional,
Insecure actresses.

Learn to swim.

Cuz I'm praying for rain
And I'm praying for tidal waves
I wanna see the ground give way.
I wanna watch it all go down.
Mom please flush it all away.
I wanna watch it go right in and down.
I wanna watch it go right in.
Watch you flush it all away.

Time to bring it down again.
Don't just call me pessimist.
Try and read between the lines.

I can't imagine why you wouldn't
Welcome any change, my friend.

I wanna see it all come down.
suck it down.
flush it down.

It's got a whole new level of appeal to me now that I'm living out here. I understand where they're coming from when they wrote that song I think.
