Dead Goon Lyrics
Nobler than Oedipus
Clairvoyant and toothless
Foreplay with no friends
Premature until the end
I've got a secret
Babbling senseless
No one will ever know
Kids can be so cruel
Smash the feeling
Suckle the sugar breast
Too happy - a jerk beyond a smile
An asphyxiophile
I'm the Humper; stop hitting me
Walking the plank, swallowing dirt
Johnny - just skin and juice and hair
A hero unaware
Tied in a knot beneath giggling
My own two hands tickling me
Innocent friction
Boys and girls are stealing my oxygen
Sex? There's no such thing
All that's left is laughing, choking, laughing
Playing solitaire
A rope and mommy's underwear
Hanging on, letting go
Dangling to and fro
NOOO
It can't happen here
Floating away
Tingling
Fluid seeping
Family weeping
It feels so good
So bad
But please
Don't tease me
Clairvoyant and toothless
Foreplay with no friends
Premature until the end
Babbling senseless
No one will ever know
Smash the feeling
Suckle the sugar breast
An asphyxiophile
I'm the Humper; stop hitting me
Walking the plank, swallowing dirt
A hero unaware
Tied in a knot beneath giggling
My own two hands tickling me
Boys and girls are stealing my oxygen
Sex? There's no such thing
All that's left is laughing, choking, laughing
A rope and mommy's underwear
Hanging on, letting go
Dangling to and fro
Tingling
Fluid seeping
Family weeping
It feels so good
So bad
But please
Don't tease me

It's about Auto-erotic Asphyxiation.
Yeah, the AEA comment makes the most sense. A wonderful, feel-good song if ever I heard one. Mr. Bungle for President.
The fact that you can hear his body swaying on the noose greatly disturbs me.
Either way it makes for an awesome album closer.
This song is about a happy little clown who goes insane and becomes a pedophile and eventually hangs himself.
Not at all. An asphyxiophile is someone who chokes themselves for sexual pleasure. Its about an asphyxiophile who dies one day from what he loves most: choking himself.

I will never look at a clown the same way again after listening to this cd. (and looking at the artwork)
Actually I've heard somewhere this is about a mentally retarded kid who died while performing autoerotic asphyxiation (if you don't know what that is, I'm not explaining, go look it up). And somewhat surprisingly considering the likes of "The Girls Of Porn", it's actually kind of a sympathetic portrayal; he gets made fun of and beat up in school and has no friends, and this is his only escape.
Wow, it is about autoerotic asphyxiation. It makes so much sense now. The gurgling noise near the end of the song....fucking SICK. Hahaha, I love Mr. Bungle!
The bass line in this song is sick!
This definately has some child loving phrases, the way he sings the little johnny is like an old perv lol. The fact that he's only skin and juice and hair, makes it more obvious he's a kid, then there's some sick giggling after the verses. Boys and gurls are leaving him breathless, he just wants sex all the time, no matter who or what sex they are. INXS frontman Michael Hutchins died of autoerotic blaa....
At the end he doesnt take the noose off in time and accidentally kills himself while his " fluid seeps" and leaving his family horrified and the kids can no longer tease him anymore. What you cant tell by the lyrics is the music,is after he dies a calming waltz starts playing to symbolize his peaceful after life but goes back to his horrified dead body then back to his after life which ends in heavenly bliss.
