Cadaver
02:18
|
|||
|
Preference of cadaver is keen
Whether you want blue or green
There's no tellin' light or dark meat
Without tearin' the spleen
Concubines are cadaver's opposites
Sittin' on the chair with the slicked back hair

Nitey Nite
02:25
|

|
Night, amidst the ally, the cats are free, they are free
Night, another night with the alley cats
A thrash of claws, teeth, nails, and paws
Sucker, another orange mother
and one more slightly wounded
Spread out across the tarmac
It's quite alarming
Night, another night in the alley
The cats aren't free, they aren't free

SKAtes

|

|
There's always one who's ska
There's always one who's acts like a pimp
There's always one who's ska
Don't ask for the checkered fedora
or the nice little two-toned shoes
or maybe a glass of wine
to wash away those blues
Way up on the Gulf Street
Those who play the punk music
Those with the two-toned shoes
Those without the blues

Cashbox
01:46
|
|||
|
There's always money in the cashbox
The cashbox in the place with the thing
There's always money in the cashbox
The cashbox when you shake it, it rings
You don't need money for the fast-shop
The fast-shop is where you steal everything
You don't act funny in the fast-shop
The fast-shop; you pull the strings

Mirabelle
02:15
|
|||
|
Mirabelle sucked all the feeling from my soul
For the essence she's gone a'stealin
Mirabelle sucked all the good things from my brain
With a syringe to inject my scattered remains
Mirabelle took one more conscious swipe
With the edge of a knife
She's all gone now
Mirabelle sucked everything from my life
At least death will release me in time

Pinko Nazi Republican
02:11
|
|||
|
I'm the only one in the desert
Corporate nazis call me a peasant
I'm the only one victimized by the
Pink Nazi Republicans
I'm the only one left to die unpleasant death
I'm the only one left to tell lies to the feds
I'm the only one victimized by the
Pink Nazi Republicans

Contract
02:21
|

|
Jonas was a swinger, and he didn't care
Jonas woke up late and put the shit in his hair
He's a swinger, but he's not old
He was welcomed to the fold
He was ready for his first murder
Jonas' first victim an attractive female
They'd kill him if he did fail
That was not very likely
Her pain must have been stifling
He was ready for his first murder
Jonas the number one undertaker
He's the only one to take them under

Driftwood
03:03
|
|||
|
Plain, white, stiff as a sail in the water
It doesn't leave a trace
Doesn't leave a red trace in the water
Expressionless face
Calm waters come with the death
Death of a salesman
|

House of Usher
04:04
|
|||
|
Talk about windy weather
Can't see through a face full of feathers
Talk about smoky lightning
I can't see what is frightening
The only place to sleep is that big lonely house
Do I hear a maiden creep underneath the house?
Am I the only one who wants to
unearth her crypt again?
Am I the only one who wants to see
her cadaverous grin?

commichung St. Louis, Missouri
From 2002-2005 commichung was one of St. Louis' weirdest punk bands. They disbanded for the usual reasons, but occasionally get together to produce new tunes. In 2008 there was THREE DICKS, and now, in 2016 commichung presents SHORTS.
