Ford's Theater Disaster

When you climb Mount Parnassus
Where serpents reigned forever and an age
Pose your question properly
The response surely will be sage

The burning bush, the smiling sphinx, the savior and his wine
The Mona Lisa smile: all puzzles no man can divine

Frame your thoughts correctly
Bring the proper tribute for the priests
She may sing your destiny
In prose, she may set the feast

The burning bush, the smiling sphinx, the savior and his wine
The Mona Lisa smile: all puzzles no man can divine

Out of breath from your climb
You can only stare
Your fate dictated by a girl so little
You have not the proper
Frame of mind for answers
She is the master of your riddle

The burning bush, the smiling sphinx, the savior and his wine
The Mona Lisa smile: all puzzles no man can divine
The lightning Zen, the Shiva dance, Christ points to his left
Leave with all your answers questioned; leave now soul bereft

My dinosaur bones are creaking, I’ve got a cave man in my head
Renaissance angles flying, deaf and dumb to what is said

Welcome to the Museum of Me
The rules are like other galleries
Stay behind the velvet ropes and no flash photography

Come now, what would you like to see
Water colored childhood memories
Or the sorted sights inside the triple X marquee

Memories have been cropped, matted, and framed for remembering
Everything’s been cropped, matted, and framed for remembering

My biplane wings are breaking, clocks are melting on my spine
The statue’s piece is missing, what would Freud think of that line?

Welcome to the Museum of Me
The rules are like other galleries
Stay behind the velvet ropes and no flash photography

Come now, what would you like to see
There’s a large back room that’s still empty
Waiting to be filled up with our memories

They’ll all be cropped, matted, and framed for remembering
They’ll all be cropped, matted, and framed for remembering

Because it's framed it's worth a million
Because it's framed you call it art
Look at perfection of his brush strokes
Well, it doesn't look all that hard

It's the precision of his blue
That's matched by very few

Because it's framed you'll hang it anywhere
Because it's framed you'll hang it here
Check out selection of his colors
Well, the choice seems pretty clear

It's the precision of his green
It's like you've never seen

It's the precision of his red
It goes straight to your head

When you put it that way
Escapin' out the back way
chain me
tame me
just go on and frame me!

When you're born in sin
you're never gonna win
damn me
slam me
bend me over jam me!

[chorus]
Walk me down that plank into the sea
nail me in a box till I can't be
...anything I want to be

[music verse/chorus break]

All about relations
gotta have the patience
missin'
dissin'
when you never listen!

Never gonna leave it
can't conceive it
blind me
bind me
never gonna find me

[chorus]
Walk me down that plank into the sea
nail me in a box till I can't be
...anything I want to be

...anywhere I want to be



...anyone I want to be.

I've been Framed

Hello officer,
I'd like to report that I've been framed

Well shes been sneakn in my frame
how can I be the same?
what choices do remain
for a mind thats shown insane?
oooo
I've been framed

got no potatoes in my fries
or bovine in my burger
its my last ditch cry for help
who can I see to take this further?
ummmm

I've been framed
framed
(not again)

Well I was framed in the corner,
I've been deemed right out of order
with the flowers that I bought her
and her moves when I caught her
Let me out
my knees are water

Ohhh
I've been framed
I've been framed
ohhh oh
just smash that picture frame right over my head again

Hey
watchout
scat

I've been lickn up my window
as you're walkn down the street
You aint got my permission
to paint with blood I bleed
my morbid disposision
don't how i shouldn't need
I down another red eye
where else could this lead?
I've been framed

thanks for the compliment, and usually, i would be one to go for the pun, but in this case you are 100% correct. i did mean "sordid". personal lyric/chord sheet corrected. thanks again.

Little Billy made the grade
He got his start selling lemonade
The first buck that he ever made
So proud he had it framed

It was Eddy's dream to get
A signed jersey from the New York Mets
Even though they lost the game
He went and had it framed

If you ever wonder
It adds a touch of class
To place your objects under
Four beveled sticks and a pane of glass

There hanging on the wall
A pic of her with a movie star
It's her only claim to fame
That's why she had it framed

Whether plastic, wood, or steel
The proper frame can add appeal
So why should you pass up the chance
To give your junk some elegance

To display our souvenirs
And other things that we hold dear
I guess that one could not be blamed
If they want to have them framed

If you ever wonder
It adds a touch of class
To place your objects under
Four beveled sticks and a pane of glass

When I'm finally laid to rest
This will be my last request
Arrange my ashes to spell may name
Then take it out and get it framed

Do you recall that first Sunday
The one it rained all day
We found ourselves between the moments
Who know how brief they’d stay

And this is how we keep it forever

Life was new and always beginning
Time stopped for all of us to gaze
Each day was filled with hope and meaning
You can still see it in your face

And this is how we keep it forever

C - Framed on the Mantle here with you

There will always be another evening
This is what we’d always thought
But time steals away the meaning
Should have captured at any cost

And this is how we keep it forever

Some days are still worth repeating
Some memories are worth keeping
Forgotten dreams renewed
Unrestrained they fade from view

And this is how we keep it forever

C - Framed on the Mantle here with you

We that knew moments never last
Treasures slipping away from our grasp
Looking back upon those days
Wish there was more time to say

And this is how we keep it forever

Time now to reflect and rewind
Recognize a better peace of mind
A captured moment of grace
You can still see it in your face

And this is how we keep it forever
C - Framed on the Mantle here with you

Chthauhaus - Framed

Through the gate and past the garden
Inside these barren walls so slick with hate

I want to hang you on my wall
You'd look so pretty hanging framed

Blood stains against my white walls
Blood stains against my white walls

Found the perfect place to hang my hooks
Let's watch the arc of arterial spray
As you recoil...
As you recoil from the scar on my face

I dance alone with sublunary menace
I dance alone on your moistly minted grave

I want to hang you on my wall
You'd look so pretty hanging framed
