Ringside Seats
03:33
|

Neighbors hear my tale, tale heart
kicking round the floorboards after dark.
Underneath the fabric of rug and time,
a rat king sewn of oats and twine.
Ringside seats to the fever dream.
A rock 'em sock 'em good time.
Bone holds the spokes, the meat wheel groans,
throwing cartwheels at the night.
There it is, etched in the dust,
the proof of us with no eyes to see.
Loaves and fishes and other dead missions
hanging heavy on the tree.
Ringside seats to the everything.
Throw 'em back, have a ruckus good time.
Bone holds the spokes, the meat wheel throws
cartwheels burning through the night.

Take yourself to the year 2015 when the Sears Tower is only one story tall, but really really wide. It's unmatched. It's un-monster-matched. Take yourself to the year 2015 when people get temporarily shorter every time that they fart. It's unmatched. It's un-monster-matched.

Cauliflowers
03:55

Nothing I say is written in stone
Anyway, the river, it flows
At my door the leaves are turning sour
I dream I'm walking through a bouquet of cauliflowers
I do not like to go down to the flats
I came to see you, but time did pass
Mindless drifting around the road
The sun is breaking the shadow loaf
When I wake up you were gone living on the edge of the night
At night, when the sky is clear, you decide to open your eyes
Sun green started making waves
Shooting at a color TV
A truck, it just came in, but it was empty

Shut Up, Shut Up

The rock is still rolling
Church bells toll
Everything is alright
Everything is alright
I'm miserable and terrible
I can't keep my mouth shut
Can't shut up
Shut up, shut up
The sun still rises
so does the moon
Shut up

Pissin' On My Piss
02:40

Now this here is a story,
I was taking a number thirteen.
I do my very best to hide
this low, lowdown feeling.
I met another space alien
and asked it if it would care
that I still believed in angels.
It said it couldn't care less.
I'm just pissin' on my piss.

Creature Comforts
03:51
|

|
In the water, in the woods, in every neighborhood
When the trees are making sound they are probably all around
There are creatures.
With their horns and their claws and their heads and theirs paws,
Who like to play and sing
Who like to kill and fling
There are creatures.
In search of others' food, in expansion of their brood
In the muck below the mire
Places no man would desire
There are creatures.
Some are sisters, some are brothers
There are even some that want to eat each other
Basic instincts
Creature comforts
From a million years ago and even further than we know
Some we hold inside our hand and some we do not understand
There are creatures.

Friday Mourning
05:03
|

|
Woke up at 5:55 to the alarm I set on my phone
Time would be plenty if I snoozed to 6:20
didn't need to be there until 6:30.
Then I dreamt I was in a tree, in a field, with a dog, on a beach.
Pants on my legs, do it on the reg
Then I pocket my phone and go to brush my teeth
Walk down the stairs then back up the stairs
because I forgot my keys in my other pants
And I thought about my dream
What could all the symbology mean?
And then I walked mainly on the sidewalk
but three times had to cross the street
The streets were empty around 6:33
and so was my motivation
But then I thought about that dog
I hope he meets me back there again someday

On Sundays I am really sad
On Mondays I'm really sad
On Tuesdays I am sad
I put the sad in Saturday
I put the turd in Saturday
I put the ay in A.A.
On Wednesdays I am really sad
On Thursdays I'm really sad
On Fridays I am sad
Ain't got no happy liftin' me up
Hear that lonesome Eddy whirlpool
Well, the blue's still in the water

Saw An Lambourghini
04:03
|
|||
|
Oh, Mother Earth, hither to, so far
She used to work at a spaghetti bar
All these sounds lose their meaning
When I talk these streets with you
I saw an lambourghini
Down in the valley, shadows climbing up walls
And when you grow weak I'll see you're not perfect at all
Where life's a joy, you are surrounded
Shadow bread
I saw an lambourghini
Now across the plain, racing from heart to heart
Feel just like I died, embracing, as blue jeans depart
Looking at the grave, I saw the trees I forgot to shave
I saw an lambourghini

Derliah, Oh, Derliah
07:05
|
|||
|
Accidentally, I saw you
This morning came all you rounders
surrounding the water tank
Making laser sounds
I was just a kid roaming around, throwing rocks
A burning hot sun
One for every yard
Derliah, oh, Derliah
Derliah, all my maybe
As I one day walked by the lake
I was just a kid roaming around, throwing rocks
These hands are not the hands
These hands are not the time's
Oh, Derliah, I can hardly stand
all these nickels and dimes
The pennies are bringing me plenty

Poo Poo Roses

Poo poo roses, doo doo poses
What I do propose is right under our noses
Take a whiff and you'll know if later tonight we'll take off our clotheses
Just ring me any time doo doo calls
Tonight we just might find ourselves in neighboring stalls
We sit and wait for the motion detector to turn off the lights
All the while my emotion projector ignites
