Western Edge
01:17
|
|||
i’m chomping at the broken searchlight
while townsmen are falling off the quiet western edge
we're on the western edge
we're on the western edge

Into the Books
00:47
|
|||
Let’s tear out this page and start anew
I was eaten back to life in a human stew
I was into the books but they steered me wrong:
I banished the thing when it sang too long
Over the void and into the books
Where demons lurk
because I can’t feel the pain
Over the void and into the books
Where demons lurk
Where demons lurk

Spelunking
00:53
|
|||
Water be my guide
Through the dark in the maze
Arise! Summon all the ghosts
Cut away the light!
Cut away the light

Marching Plans
01:29
|
|||
a huge variety of perfect plans
across the land
standing at the edge the sea:
billions of mees
marching with flags
standing at the edge the sea...

Walking Whale II
00:40
|
|||
postulate and carve a date for me
this is just the way that it should be
this is just a car
this is just the dream and the dream’s a single town
the giant heart of the mighty clown
this just a carcass

Don't Hate! Coronate!
01:54
|
|||
my ghost moves slow
in the pocket of the great big coat
what keeps my head afloat
don’t trust it not to go go go...
coronated for so long
didn't mean a thing
didn't mean a thing
hated for so long
didn't feel a thing
didn't feel a thing

Plan for Success
01:14
|
|||
I’ve got a secret plan for success
and I’ve got to play it close to the vest
I wrote NO but the answer was YES
and I barely passed the test!

It Limps!
02:37
|
|||
It limps! When you least expect it
But you’ll never detect it
It’s quiet and tiny
It lives in the sea
It limps! Through your house at night
Always out of sight
It changes things
Not better, not worse... just different
Whose side is it on?
You decide.
It limps.

Mud March
01:34
|
|||
You were a brilliant boy surrounded by the dark
You traded honesty for cupcakes and ice
Forgot to name your hand in the frozen trailer park
You wanted everything that was ugly and untrue
Now I'll build these things for you:
-a grass house
-a stone arch
alone in the mud march
we'll live in the trees
with your bones
in the Mud March

Bells
01:35
|
|||
all of the roadblocks
on this dead end journey
lost in the time zone
and barking in the street

Failure to Run
00:57
|
|||
There is a target
in my creative heart
you hit a bullseye every day
with your empty commitments
and your failure to run
i won’t wait for inspiration

Arthritis Roadshow
02:02
|
|||
everyone is buzzing with maximum torso
in the mythological lands
of the polish grounds!
I'm shredding my voices
and sewing my patches
you can't wave us out today
don't save us, just take heed
let's go!
penny for your thoughts
a childhood in envelopes
la la la….

Insta-Kill™
00:48
|
|||
warning signs that i should've heeded
now i lay alone, defeated
“insta-kill,” the package said
can't believe i wound up dead
works like a charm, i rave!
from beyond the grave
|

Trepanning
02:07
|
|||
Drill a hole in your head
Let us talk to the dead
What pain from the other side
You see them, they all died
You see them, they all died
Nighttime comes to Jersey
Buried in the dark so greasy
Woke up tied to a world of fallen spires
Woke up so tired
I need to fall back to sleep
The dead can't walk with the weak
Out of fear I beg for the sun
I wait for the dawn to come
(Though the daylight is under siege
with no hope of victory
drink in the warmth of the sun
before the misery comes
before the misery comes)
|

16. |
||||
it'll be a wing zinger
with you as the singer
we'll be laughing 'til dark
at the waterslide park
we'll all be amazed
by the devilish daze
that will bring an elation
on this fun vacation
oh yes
we'll have elation
at this fun vacation
