Ricky 05:08
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey Won’t you stop the car? Something funny, if I ain’t crazy Caught the tree on fire In a shot, like a Double Wasp I’m so alive, oh my god I feel them headlights Mm, it’s getting hot Did I turn ‘em on? I crouch It’s some hunk in his backseat now He’s undressing He lifts his jersey It’s Ricky, Ricky, the football star’s son Undone inside his car He doesn’t know I’m watching I will turn away soon as his shoulder pad’s unlaced Just like that Ricky’s my friend His dad is a dick ‘Cause he makes him play football When he’d rather play baseball or basketball Or maybe something that’s on his game console I text him, “Do you wanna play ball at the field down the street?” He texts me, “Yeah, I can swing it,” and “When should we meet?” I say, “Right now. You bring the bat, you bring the balls. I know you got a ton” To the field I run And wait for him to turn the corner of the school I swing so hard it spins me around I throw the bat down to the ground I run so fast like I said I could He sprints and trips with a dusty thud Na na-na-na na na, I’m not all talk, no Haa ha ha ha ha ha, eat chalk Slide into home plate, still he chases, “Cheater, cheater,” I shout He squeezes me and says “I got sand in my fucking mouth” Mmm, you can spit in my eye, yeah Ya-ho, let’s go, slick slugger And try the street now Run me down K-I-S-S M-E please On the piss-sop treetop, it’s easy Said B-L-O-W M-E You don’t have to spell it out, I’m here, baby Hey Rick! Look, I’m on fire You catch me every time Screw pappy, screw your car (Said, oh my god) Slick-Dicky’s shooting far (You’re my stripe and star) And they’re all locker room rush stories Do most what your cocky little cod piece could And yeah, I wonder what you are When I suck, you star (Ricky, Rick, my stripe and Star) You’re my favorite star, why are you so far, far away? (Ricky, number 51) You’re a shiny star, you’re a shooter, Ricky You’re the Lone Star (It’s Ricky, Ricky, the Lone Star) You’re my favorite star, why are you so far away, huh? Ricky, Ricky

Eat It 04:55
Bad joke You’re climbing up the oak Catch ‘em big-buck feet And eat it Your knee is icky-split You can use my sleeve You do So sad, what a pretty face you have And it’s not for me If I only knew Why you stare when you stare at me so long So sad, what a pretty face you have And it’s not for me If I only knew What you’d do if I tried my luck I play suckerfish, piss or get off You wanna watch me do it? Huh? And it’s you that I hate When you piss in the lake Like you said “You gotta get it hot, the minnows ditched the pot” And I know it’s true I do So drink in the water moccasins While you close the trunk Won’t you pick me up? I think I’m gonna throw up So sad, what a pretty face you have and it’s not for me If I only knew Why you snuck your hand on my leg last night So sad, what a pretty face you have and it’s not for me If I only knew If you’re hinting or being a clown Much to do ‘bout fooling around Much to do ‘bout kissing the man Much to do ‘bout holding hands Come on, lead-leg, give me something Drop me off, I book it To my room and fall on the mess I begin to undress And search up and down my sleeve For where you wiped your knee when it was bloody Oh, what’s that, now? Could it be? It do take much to make a slugger bleed So touch it to your nose Oh, blessed is your brow Now touch it to your cheek My lips and to my mouth My teeth My tongue Lick, spit Suck it Chew, swallow

Pony Meat 06:03
When I was born I bore the milk For I was born To boars, stable whores, and animals My love says I’m wild Beast, be true, “What should I be?” “Pretty pony, lie with me” My love is the only I think of another still Kiss just like my 10-buck bill, uh-huh My man is king I’ve done his bidding You ugly thing You sleep, I will feed the animals He says I’m pretty Yet in bathing, all I see Eyes on the water and a beast beneath You liar, let me be So I took him down I took him down ‘Cause there’s a new boy in town And we’re famous, shook the ground We've blood upon our masts Ooh, I like his limb-limb, slim hip lap (Oh, I like) And how he stops my runny mouth with his, like that (How he likes me) Though I know he’s never seen me in the light I think he likes how I thank him Thank him tonight (Once more for the animals) (Once more for the cannibal) I look to my right I look to behind I look to my left There is no one left Animals, they’re animals And now I know Something was wrong, something was wrong And now I know And I’ve not a thing to eat (And I’ve not a thing to eat, eat, eat) Animal, you animal So sweet to me I didn’t know, how could I know Just what you mean? Oh God, make my womb sweet (So sweet to me, you animal, you freak) I feel his love inside me Spill it onto the grass beneath I plant the seed it provides me It’s a funny thing I stop my stupid crying Stupid, wished me a million things I eat the dandelion Lord, wish on me Love you, I love you, I love you

De Kalb 05:34
Funny man I once knew And he looked a lot like you Brought me moon rocks from the storm And he spoke of what he saw In the field where we lie He said, “I’m a funny guy” “I am a whore, just like you” “I’m an animal too” Hey Yesh, won’t you stop the car? I see something in those trees yonder If I ain’t crazy, it’s coming up 295 I thought pappy looked at me It was nothing, nothing They think I like to cry And get hot on the brink I am only moved by corn I hear the cattle think And I am touched by light It touched me in the wheat Still, I don’t know what it was Or what it likes romantically I went back to De Kalb Not knowing what I’d see Your name was on a tombstone Your blood was underneath And you are so much like me I knew immediately But you pick little lilies Love them in the city And Lily’s very pretty Yeah, how could she not be? But Lily’ll never know your alien-craft like me Oh no, how could she?
