Sitting and drinking a can of cola
A monkey in Zaire has Ebola
Do you think Spam is really meat
Or is it processed orangutan feet
A loo shaped like a Rubix Cube
A soda shaped like a sewage tube
A neon pink toilet bowl
In a center for disease control
A matted ultraviolet lamp
In a tanning parlor bought by Jesse Camp
The ebola monkey ate a banana
And married a dude called Ale Fontana
The orangutan in Spam
Is really that Empire man
And he has a hemorrhagic fever
And I have a golden retriever
And I am a overachiever
Is smashed by a meat cleaver
While looking like a beaver
And being a y2k believer
A matted ultraviolet lamp
In a tanning parlor bought by Jesse Camp
The ebola monkey ate a banana
And married a dude called Ale Fontana
A hotel owned by Uncle Fester
A stupid dillweed of an investor
A crud filled copyrighted hacker
A YMCA dancing graham cracker
Can Kaylee get on the computer
A dachshund that was just neutered
And a big electric saw handle in
A large Christmas tree mandolin
A matted ultraviolet lamp
In a tanning parlor bought by Jesse Camp
The ebola monkey ate a banana
And married a dude called Ale Fontana (2x's until fade out)

you're not crying, but the thought is there
we've got to end this love affair
before we do something the both of us regret
we're not kissing, but our lips are there
blue electricity in my veins
with twitching i cannot contain
as i slowly break into an icy sweat
all my blood is freezing in my veins
i want to stay so i guess i should leave
i'd like to say things that make you believe you still love me
you love me, but it's not enough
i think i need some other stuff
to make me feel like i have some control
because i don't think i have enough
we each know what the other thinks
so you know how much i want a (wanna) drink
to drown the pain and logic in my soul
because sometimes i don't care what you think
i want to stay so i guess i should leave
i'd like to say things that make me believe you still love me
i've got a mind to call you now
but there's too much sweat upon my brow
who knows if you'll confirm my biggest fears
there's nothing i can do about you now
i know how much you meant to me
but now that's a memory
i've got nothing to show for all of those years
except the trinkets that you sent to me
i want to stay so i guess i should leave
i'd like to say things that make you believe you still love me

Never Trust My Smile
03:48
|
|||
|
never trust my smile it's only there for show
every laugh is much more hollow than you'd know
turn the pillow over cuz this side's full of tears
don't act so surprised it's been this way for years
way for years
it's been this way for years
i never meant to hurt you dear
i never meant to hurt you dear
you heard my message loud and clear
i never meant to hurt you dear
don't believe the music, i'm having a dreadful day
pay no attention to me when i say i'm ok
sometimes i feel bad because you cannot tell
but i'd feel worse if i brought you down as well
down as well
i brought you down as well
i never meant to hurt you dear
i never meant to hurt you dear
i'm sorry that you had to hear
i never meant to hurt you dear
don't feel bad i still enjoy your company
i forget my pain when you're distracting me
every clown is trying to tune out the drone
he just can't ignore it when he's on his own
on his own
when he's all alone
i never meant to hurt you dear
i never meant to hurt you dear
i only want to bring you cheer
i never meant to hurt you dear

Seeing Green (demo)
03:15
|
|||
|
i told myself i was over you
ready to move on and try something new
i told myself i was doing fine
your memories were stricken from my mind
i thought for sure that i'd cleaned my slate
i watched the bitter feelings dissipate
but when i heard the words you said
I TURNED RED! I TURNED RED!
i've been feeling blue, i'm not over you
so tell me what did you mean
i'm about to crack, my world's turning black
because i'm seeing green
sometimes i think that it's for the best
it's b z z etter to have loved and lost i guess
sometimes i think that all i can do
is stay away and hope the best for you
most of the time i try not to be
an asshole so consumed by envy
but when i hear the things i dr ad
I TURN RED! I TURN RED!
i've been feeling blue, i'm not over you
i'm too yellow to be mean
but sometimes jealousy gets a hold of me
so now i'm seeing green
so now you say we should still be friends
i guess that means this'll never end
well, hip hurray! this'll sure work fine
i'll always be there but you'll never be mine
too many years of the dating game
i get the feeling that it's all the same
too many times i will give my heart
stoically watch as it breaks apart
i tell myself that i don't need love
it's an illusion it's just a drug
but to this drug i am addicted
NOW I'M RED! I'M TURNING RED!
i've been feeling blue, i'm not over you
so tell me what did you mean
i'm about to crack, my world's turning black
and now i'm seeing green
now i'm seeing green
now i'm seeing green.

when you're falling from a building
you don't need to be scared
you're falling but not dropping
you're floating in midair
suspended in a timewarp you will find an inner peace
if your sense of normal physics is released
gravity is superseded by the human mind
and if you close your eyes right now you'll find
that you can fly forever if you conquer time
immortality's not that hard
all you need to do is create
a word said in a theater
will always reverberate
the words may fade from memory but forever are impressed
they stay inside the crowd's subconsciousness
they soak into the walls they are embedded in the stairs
you're gone before they knew that you were there
but for a time you floated on the air

Bad Girl Boots

come on baby take off your sunglasses
come on baby let me see your eyes
come on baby melancholy passes
but for now, please let me hear you cry
come on baby fate is such a nuisance
sittin' waiting for the one for you
come on baby loneliness makes no sense
for a girl as beautiful as you
come on baby wear your ruby lipstick
come on baby have some fun tonight
come on baby buy the dress that you picked
come on baby wear those boots tonight
there's no reason you should be so nervous
girls like you can have your pick of guys
come on baby, you know you deserve it
just make sure you let them see your eyes

Patchwork Quilt
03:12
|
|||
|
wasn't it you that said
we started off dead
and we'll go back if we don't watch it?
we're born from dirt and lust
we started off dust
but we still think that we are hot shit
we used to hunt for food
pick berries in the nude
until they all began to shrivel
we thought we had to hide
our animalistic side
because we feared being uncivil
so we evolved
and problem-solved
exploited our resources all to the hilt
denying urges
we emerged and
turned this world into a patchwork quilt
and so we moved and killed
built cities on a hill
but we never could perfect them
because this world's too large
so we put someone in charge
and let an even mind direct them
we made some rules and laws
we had a noble cause
until we got drunk off our power
and so we started wars
with people who ignore
the fact we have the biggest towers
we'll soon be gone
we've got the bomb
and someday we'll tear down the roads we have built
i've looked around
and i have found
this world is naught but a patchwork quilt
i went to town last fall
saw a sticker on the wall
that said a strong man needs no leaders
and right next to the sign
i saw a lady cryin'
askin' me if I could feed her
although i gave her a dime
i still see her every time
i stick a fork into my dinner
we're all so fat and content
in the 98%
while the bottom half gets thinner
if we don't change our views
i can't watch the news
without being totally stricken by guilt
but we won't change our ways
and so some days
i want to just tear up this patchwork quilt

we've reached the border that frames us within this picture
ghosts in the wind as (we) burn the proof of the things we did
we reflect on our reflections, our souls sold for silence
their intentions are too intense, we shield our eyes from glare
we sleep the day away and work the graveyard shifts
we make our beds with the flowers and wait with the worms
light the pack the (?) and the match
we kiss the day away and stick to this beaten path
who's behind this course?
is it you, is it me, or is it another, one we still have yet to see?
bottles broken, necks and bodies
these elongated fingers crawl, they trace the curves
heat will raise as it licks the back of our necks
in the morning of bodies that will heal in time
as we withdraw our sharp wit and clever lies
we are a match, a spark, we slipped on silver tongues
head to the horizon with the eyes away from sunrises
sungloss shadows whispers in the air
my heart and head ache with noise from the streets
i let the top down as you begin to undress my eyes
my hand on yours, we've switched gears
find a quick way out if we are to make headway
the scene lays in disa(rr)ay
those of many alleged allies
strung out along the floorboards
i am just a witness, quick to dismiss this
can we still make the mistakes that lead us to take these hearts?
the stakeout has been found out
we break out to run
this plan is far from finished
