They're not nearly as bad as i thought they were, and Fall To Pieces is very simplistic but stands out that way. Among my favorites:

From Sucker Train Blues

Brain and body melting while there's roaches multiplying
It's the alien infection it's the coming of Christ
All these sentimental halos and these consequential angels
When I'm runnin with the devil don't deliver the fight

From Illegal I

One fine day
I'll settle down
When you bloody me
I ran aground
With my broken face
And fisticuff
Fuck the rest and
All their stuff


From Superhuman

Always feel like she's runnin on a hamster wheel
Getting high, crashing cars and makin mistakes
Keepin her face packed with cocaine
Her face is numb your faith is gone

From You Got No Right (lyrically this is his best song by far)

I fell through the ice
She won't be coming back too soon
It never wins to lie
She said you'll never have no rights

I've took it farther on the outside
I've took it nearly to the brink
And if you've seen me on the outside
You would have barely seen me breathe


Funny right here I find myself
Inside a paper cup
Without a warning or a reason it's a treason
With no answer


You got no right
To keep me waiting here
You got no right
To keep the pain in here
That holds the crown

And if I fall apart on the outside (You really don't believe me)
And if I take it to the brink
And if I fall apart on the outside / (You really don't believe me)
You would have barely seen me breathe

And if I meet you out tonight
Will you be loving me forever
It's always over after the night
It's always colder after the night
I broke through the ice
She won't be coming back again
It's been a year and a night


From Loving The Alien

It's just the little things
You used to see
Am I still that man who makes you who you want to be

All in all, You Got No Right is the best lyrically (and, in my opinion, musically), and Do It For The Kids is the weakest lyrically though i absolutely love the song and think it is one of the best on the album.
