came a time
when I couldn't just continue

I just couldn't keep
being a bastard about it
and being a smartass all the time
all the time
yeah there comes a time when
you can't just look at it
and be a smartass about it
all the time
just can't do it
can't get away with that
ain't gonna happen

Blessed Events
02:45
|
|||
|
I think this is a proper place
and I think it's time that you approached it
from a little bit better angle
and I think it's time you approach it
like you're not needing it
I think it's time you approached it
from a little bit better angle
and there's surprises around the corner
and they're blessed events
meant to test us
and there's surprises around the corner
and they're blessed events
meant to test us
and I think it's time that you approached it
from a little bit better angle
and I think it's time that you approach it
like you don't really
need it so much
and there's surprises around the corner
and they're blessed events
meant to test us
I think it's time that you approached it
from a little bit better angle
instead of just diving off the side of the cliff

Sputter
03:09
|
|||
|
this is the season
in which I sputter
this might include incidents
in which I stutter
by the way
did you watch the sun
rise today?
by the way
did you see
the smoke on the horizon?
and it sure as hell ain't
the apocolypse
but it's annoying
nonetheless

Evil Lawnmower
03:40
|
|||
|
the evil lawnmower
it hurt me
the evil lawnmower
brought me down
the evil lawnmower
turned my wrists into rubber
the evil lawnmower
it attacked my dignity
that evil lawnmower
it wanted to mow me down
the evil lawnmower
it consumed me
the evil lawnmower
struck a deal with the devil
and tried to bring me down
the evil lawnmower
it escaped happenstance
and came at me on all fours
screaming
blowing mulch and hissing
the evil lawnmower
it attacked my sense of sensibilty
and humility and pride and
mowed me down
the evil lawnmower
it turned my wrists into rubber
and I couldn't even play a chord
the evil lawnmower
it brought me down
the evil lawnmower
slew me

Get Done
02:59
|
|||
|
I believe you came here
to accomplish more than this
I believe you came here expecting
to accomplish much more than this
but it seems trouble is always brewing
and upsets stop progress on the project
got to dig through
all these piles of memories
you've got to dig through
all these piles of trash
give yourself a chance
to address the real things
that need to get done

Hill
03:08
|
|||
|
we walked up the hill
we walked up there
on to a land of misty breath
we walked up there
we walked up there
on the hill
and the frost fell delicately
we walked up there
on the hill
and we were happy there
we walked up there
up on the hills toward freedom
in darkness
we walked up on those hills
to get away from the creep
of industry wanting slaves
way up there
on the hill
we slumbered

Amaze
04:16
|
|||
|
to remember just how amazing it wasn't then
to remember just how amazing it wasn't then
yeah, to think back on that
how it wasn't all that amazing back then
how amazing it wasn't back then
yeah, how amazing it wasn't back then
how amazing it wasn't
and there were baffled believers
all around drooling
baffled believers not understanding the scene
baffled believers stumbled into the scene
drooling in wonderment
drooling in excitement at the visual scene
going down
and it's still quite amazing to think about
how amazing it wasn't
it wasn't all that amazing back then
despite what you might of heard
it wasn't all that great of scene
and I mean today they can
make that kinda shit on a machine
isn't it amazing how amazing it wasn't?

Hatchetman
03:23
|
|||
|
it didn't take you long
to lean into this
it didn't take you long
to lean into
this
and you were leaning
in the meadow
in the wind
with your hair floating
everywhere
unaware
of the hatchetman
blissfully unaware
of the icy hand
coming down
didn't take you long
to lean into this
and you didn't
look far enough ahead
and you missed the hatchetman
it didn't take you all that long
to lean into this
painfully
and here comes the hatchetman

Hungry
03:29
|
|||
|
I'm hungry
and not drunk
I'm starving and
wanting nicotine and
beer
my god can't you see
I'm starving here?
in my luxury of inaction
I deteriorate
due to erosion
due to erosion
and wind-blown skies
but there's stuff all around
that I can still believe in
there's even love
if I take the time to look at it enough
there's a thousand things that I need to do
there's a thousand things that I need to get to
aren't these bad times for you?
as we relax in our lap of luxury
the world starves
as we get
fat and consume
the world burns
oh no
it's not you
no
it's somebody else
that's the problem
for sure
I'd suggest you blame me
afterall I'm here
and talkin shit about it
and gettin up your rancor
and gettin up your hide
just to piss you off
thank you and good day
sir

Happenstance
03:56
|

|
you might have come here to disagree
you might have come here to discuss
happenstance
you might have come here to disagree
you might have come here to disagree
you might have come here to discuss
happenstance and wherewithal
you might have come here prepared to present your case
and
you came with passion
you might have come here
on a lark
you might have come here to discuss
happenstance and wherewithal
you might have come here
to explore your nature
you might have come here
out of spite
out of mind
out of happenstance
you might have come here
believing
in nothing but chance
but then leaving believing
in miracles
and blessed events
and circumstance
that blooms in the evening
and transports you away
to
beautiful slumber

Lack Of
02:38
|
|||
|
it was mostly through a lack
of understanding
it was mostly a lack of
not lookin at it right
it was a lack of understanding
that caused the problem that night
and it was a failure to observe
and act appropriately
and it was a failure to execute
and it was a bit of a shambles from the beginning
and it was a bit embarassing in the end
and it got to the point where
you should have just let it go
and it got to the point where
you should have given up
but you didn't
and lookin back now
at least well
it seems it was a pretty good idea on your part
even though it looked like
disaster at the time

Urgent Situation
04:19
|
|||
|
due to
the urgency
of the situation
we decided to
urgently
get right on that
due to
the urgency
of the situation
oh, wait, change the [gibberish]
due to
no
no no
due to urgent changes
in the situation
we needed to be payin attention to
all along
due to
the urgency
of the situation
well as we discussed earlier
um I
had been led to understand
that there was an element
of um
urgency uh
in the situation
and so we needed to
oh
discuss it [coughs]
yeah
[gibberish]
there is a need
for some urgency about it
when I talked to the dude
he said it was a really important and
I, I needed to remember when to change chords
I mean, I remember when to change to the mellow side
you'd never believe that that kind of feeling
could belong there
oh dear
[laughs, snorts, whoosh]
crash and burn!
[hissing]
okay

Setting Out Eastward
03:06
|
|||
|
walking eastward
setting out
a lot of sage brush here
a lot of red hill over there
eastward
setting out
setting out eastward
in the bitter cold air
setting out eastward
watching constellations and meteors
and it had
never failed
that you'd suprise some ducks
and scare the crap outta yourself
and it had never failed
that you'd fall in the creek
and freeze your butt off
eastward
setting out
in the morning air painfully
setting out
setting out respectfully
setting out
bringing home the bacon
you might say
well after a hell of a lotta more work
but hey
we were setting out eastward
and it was a good day

Outsider's Jig
04:15
|
|||
|
outsiders
they dressed differently
outsiders
they came here apparently
to draw upon our charity
outsiders
they came in
outsiders
they saw a way in and infiltrated
outsiders
people who are thinkin
shit that you don't want em thinkin
outsiders
people who feel they have a grip on reality
and yet are so far removed from present day
and present technology
that they look like they're in the stone age
they're outsiders
and they wanna shake things up
they're outsiders
and they believe that they can bring about
the kind of reality that we've only been
dreaming about since we were 14
outsiders
and there's obnoxious chatter around the corner
and yet we've got a plan
that will carry us toward the sunlight
and we've got a plan
that will bring us into the light
and it's a psychological miracle
that we witnessed
and it's a psychological adjustment
toward the mean in order to gain
an audience for their fancy at the time
and it was a geocentric model
that rotated around their heads
and made them feel like they were king
and they only had to dance a jig

Peaceful Pines
03:32
|
|||
|
and there was quite a bit of comfort there
quite a bit of laid back slumber there
it was a bright day
and it smelled of pine and dirt
and it was a good day
the river bottoms bloomed
and spread the scent of mint everywhere
and blossoms were everywhere
and the creek bottoms
filled with willows blooming
and there was a lot
of peace to be found there
and there was a lot
of centering energy
and the smell of pine fell down

Benefit
03:30
|
|||
|
a disgrace
a disgrace for your benefit
a disgrace
a disgrace for your benefit
a bit of a jumble
a bit of a tumble
a bit of a mishmash
a bit of a shamble
and I mean it's to your benefit
you understand
and it's to your benefit
that you agree
and it's to your benefit
that we mutually
declare our friendship satisfactory
and it's to our benefit
we get along hereafter
in a contractual way

Moose & Raccoon
02:53
|

|
if you walked in on a moose
playing checkers with a raccoon
which one of them would you
ask for change for the subway?
yes, if you walked in on a moose
and a raccoon playing checkers
which one of them would you ask
to cook you a toasted cheese sandwich
and pour you a Pepsi?
yeah, if you walked in on a moose
and a raccoon playing DOOM
which one of them would you ask
for directions to Walmart?
yeah, if you walked in on a moose
and a raccoon playing cosplay
in rabbit suits what would you do?
I doubt it'd be much usefulness
to ask them what they were doin
yeah, if you walked in on a moose
and a raccoon playing checkers
which kind of ice cream would you serve?
yeah, if you walked in on a moose
and a raccoon stealing a car
what would you do?
well, I guess it'd depend on
if it was your own car or not
