Local Mix-Up / Murder Charge by Guided by Voices Lyrics

[Local Mix-Up]

[Verse]
Rimming an ashtray, face in the light
Local mix-up, someone fix up what we broke up
The pleasure seekers are out there tonight
Local mix-up, someone fix up what we broke up

[Chorus]
You as a person have got to think fast
'Cause this is a party, and it's not gonna last
And this is the same place the fly got smashed

[Post-Chorus]
Dress him, dress him, dress him, dress him
Dress him, dress him, dress him like a queen
Dress him, dress him, dress him, dress him
Dress him, dress him, dress him like a queen

[Verse]
Rimming an ashtray, face in the light
Local mix-up, someone fix up what we broke up
The pleasure seekers are out there tonight
Local mix-up, someone fix up what we broke up
[Chorus]
You as a person have got to think fast
'Cause this is a party, and it's not gonna last
And this is the same place the fly got smashed

[Post-Chorus]
Dress him, dress him, dress him, dress him
Dress him, dress him, dress him like a queen
Dress him, dress him, dress him, dress him
Dress him, dress him, dress him like a queen

[Solo]

[Murder Charge]

[Verse 1]
In the early days, he was bursting with confidence
I saw the light changing
Over the years he began to submerge
The nervous wreck we know him to be
The nervous twisted wreck

[Verse 2]
So watch out for Joker Bob
I wish he were just a distant relative
But he's razor close like brill-cream gelatin
Icy cold acid in his heart
[Refrain]
And with this we shall draw the electrifying conclusion

[Verse 3]
They strapped him in, still chewing his bubblegum
Gave him the Jesus-shock as the reporters watched
Finally his ticker stopped
And they buried him with a smile on his puss

[Refrain]
And that's the electrifying conclusion
