THE TEAR GARDEN: BONUS TRACKS FROM "FOR THOSE WHO WOULD WALK WITH THE 
GODS" CD

GOOD EVENING HOUSTON

Nineteen down
Nineteen to go
The crowd's too cool to force a show
We're dog-tired, cat-whipped, underfed, on edge...
Where are we?

Who the hell are you?
We're ???
Courtesy of Belgium, know it...
Where they make the chocolates and the chips

No, I cannot speak the language...(either of them!)
No, I don't know where I get the inspiration
Don't know when this planet will explode in bits...
I do not want to party...
See the sights
Or get real rigor-mortis stoned...

I do not want to sleep with you
I do not want to sleep with you
I do not want to sleep with you

I want to sleep alone in transit
Hunched up like a ball
Inside a stinking bag
Don't worry, brother...
I shall not touch you

Even though our bond is by now very, very holy
I shall not touch you...

Let's hit the road and on we go
Tornadoes, rednecks...
Time they got their guns, hang us high
And let the desert birds consume us

Read your bibles
Burn our bus
And ???
Who the hell are you?
We are SATAN!

Here, I'll sing it backwards...

We've come to eat your veggie sticks
Take your daughters..
We've come to build a temple to 
A blessed demon
Never mind his name...
Just be assured that he is bad

Now wasn't that a close one?
Thought they'd throw us to the wolves
I've heard Montana's really pretty
But there's Nazis wall to wall

But we're just tourists here
And sure, we believe in Jesus...

Sure we do
But gotta go now

'Cause North Dakota's calling
And it seems so very far, far away...

You're a pink toothbrush
I'm a blue toothbrush
In a plastic cup
In a place that no one sees...

Not even me...


GOOD NIGHT, LITTLE LIGHTS

We thank you for the thunder 
Which will wake our dead friends from their sleep
Thank you for the lightning bolt 
Which stings and makes those tired hearts beat
Thank you for the rain 
Which stimulates and makes them clean again...

Thank you for the joy, 
The fearless pain, 
The chains eternal.

We thank you for the turmoil in our hearts
When we would turn away.
Thank you for your patience 
And we thank you for the will to seek.

Thank you for those ropes around our necks,
Those shackles on our feet...
Thank you for those patches on our eyes
We thank you for our blind respect.

We thank you and we thank you...
For we have to...
Oh lord, there shall be no resentment.
