do the barrel roll with me tonight
you won't regret it
do the barrel roll with me tonight
do the forward stall with me
do the baby crawl with me
and it's not balls to wall
this fall
which is really nice
and the ghost of Christmas past
who came on Halloween
seems to have passed
which is nice
and there's some cheese
I'd advise you to have a slice
does your bourbon need some ice?
have you ever had pet mice?
didn't I tell you thrice?
hey, your words are meant to entice
and that just won't suffice
and you better be
very nice

Sawing Wind with Words
03:27
|

|
sawing wind with words
watching blue sheets drip away
and streaks of glass shoot like darts
into dark clouds of the day
and we were sawing wind with words
watching the blue sheets drip away
and we watched the blue sheets drip away
and the streaks of glass shoot like darts
into clouds of grey
and the day faded away
and the day faded away
and we sawed the wind with words
we watched the blue sheets drip away
drip away
and we watched the blue sheets drip away
streaks of glass shoot like darts
into clouds far away
and the clouds flicker far away
and the clouds flicker far away
and we sawed the wind with words
cuz we were sawing the wind with words
and the day faded away
and then we didn't even want to stay

Damn Down
02:40
|
|||
|
and one thing's for sure
and that's that I don't want to
hear any more of your
damn down
cuz why do you have to be so
damn down?
why do you have to be so
damn down?
and why do you have to be so
damn down?
cuz way up here in the sky
we don't have to deal
with any of your
damn down
and congratulations!
for not having to deal with no
stinkin' damn down
none of your damn down

Silver Snowflake
05:16
|
|||
|
and the star on my forehead
and the cross over my heart
with a star on my forehead
a star that glitters
a star that glitters
a star that glitters
like silver
the star on my forehead
and the cross in my heart
I walked home in melted snow
and in the snowflake's glitter
there were silver flecks of ice
but it's all an illusion
and the moths are just drawn to the light
and it's an unravelling trajectory
as the snow melts
and then it struck me
the star upon my forehead
was nothing but a snowflake
dripped in the moonlight
and the snow gathered at my feet
and the storm came down
on silver beams
that turned into moonlight

Approval
03:41
|
|||
|
and I wish you
would have discussed with me
prior to this
before the final approval
a... came through
cuz needless to say
I don't a... agree with you
why didn't you do a job
that we asked you to?
why couldn't you do the job
we asked you
to do?
and I mean, even if you just woulda
talked to us prior to this
we mighta been able to do something
about all this mess
that you've caused
and did you get the right final approval
from all the right people?

Contemplate
02:36
|
|||
|
and we were contemplating
what to think about
and we were contemplating
what would make sense
under the current circumstances
and it was a day
of contemplation
and it was a day
of quiet contemplation
where we tried to figure out
our place
among it all
and we were left contemplating
about this place
that it left us
and it was an act of contemplation
that we were contemplating
deciding what to think about
and what to contemplate
and what to be complacent about

The Dalai Lama
04:40
|
|||
|
the Dalai Lama has only got
so much time to deal with your
achin' ass bullshit son of a bitch
the Dalai Lama only has
so much time and you're taxin' that
the Dalai Lama only has
so much time of his life left
and he's askin' us all
--wouldn't we like to stop
killing each other?
wouldn't we like to cut down on
kids gettin' killed?
and the Dalai Lama ain't askin' for much
he's just asking for
a little bit of consideration
--and to stop killing each other
and I know that's
pretty threatening to some folks
because they see evil in anything
that isn't exactly like they believe
the Dalai Lama ain't askin' for much
just that we stop killing each other
wouldn't it be convenient
if we just stopped killing each other?
cuz then we might
be able to talk about something
and not hate each other
and we should just stop
killing each other

|
and we have every reason
to rejoice
rejoice
rejoice
rejoice
and we have every reason
to rejoice
rejoice
and we have every reason
to rejoice
to stand up
wave our arms around
wave our arms about
and rejoice
and by God
we should rejoice
rejoice with me
rejoice with me
rejoice
and so we just need to
rejoice
rejoice
rejoice
rejoice
rejoice
rejoice

headed toward your destination
headed toward your destination
fulfilling your destiny
headed on to your destination
it's the part of the nation
that's your destination
and it's all part of your destiny
and you go toward your favorite destination
and you go forward in your destiny
and as long as your eyes aren't blind you'll see
and if you're not blind you'll see

and we were sprialing
through inconsistencies
and we were conspiring
to avoid questions
about various inconsistencies
in the records
I say, is your name here, son?
this picture here don't look a thing like you, boy
what's your business in town?
and there are spiraling inconsistencies in your story
and I happen to doubt several events that you've described
and I think you're being a bit unscrupulous
and I think you're being a bit suspicious
and there were spiraling inconsistencies
that led me
to believe
that
maybe you weren't
all
everything
that
everybody
thought
you were
cuz there were spiraling inconsistencies in your story
and you could take that to the bank
and it drew their superstition
and it drew their suspicion
and they wondered what they were going to do with me
cuz there were spiraling inconsistencies
...consistencies...shit

there's too much to clean up here
there's too much to clean up here
my dear
there's too much to clean up here
you jackass
there's too much to clean up here
my dear
there's too much here to leave
and we need to leave
we need to flee
we need to run away
beware of fleas
they bring disease
and you end up
just running away
from the plague
beware of fleas
they bring disease

Raygun
04:19
|

|
inverse reactions
ionic hyperdrive
crystalline raygun
a crystalline raygun
and it was a hyper agreement
among the minorities
that led to some fairness
and a little bit of equity
but that was after
the crystalline raygun
and it was a little bit like
whole bean
vanilla ice cream
and it was a hyper extension
into reality
with high drama
and so I drew my
crystalline raygun
and the ant man
backed down
to avoid the wrath
of my freeze ray
and it was a hyper extension
of reality
and my crystalline raygun
paralyzed him instantly
it was a crystalline raygun

Sea

and the slick magazine exalted
the wonderful things about this
bungalow by the sea
with spacious multi-floor layouts
golf courses and bay front views
and a sea walk
this is all
within just a mere five blocks
of the beach
and it doesn't matter if you're a hippie
or a surfer or just a developer
waterfront town homes
in the gated bay side
spacious town homes
multi-floor layouts
handicapped accessible
multi-gender acceptable
and it was like an open
photograph to the sea
and it was a community
and it was a community
it was an iris on the bay

Bein' Smart
03:03

perhaps you've forgotten
about the similarities
between us and them
perhaps you've noticed
people are picking sides
and hoping for a miracle
most people don't know
how humble they should be
and how grateful they should be
and how thankful they should be
cuz there's a lot of people
that didn't get half of what you got
there's a lot of people
who got a shitload less than that
and so you oughta shut up
and since when did
reasonable civil discourse
become political hate speech?
and since when did just talking
become a battle with people
who are against you all around?
and it's a little like that rich man's kid
he's got it all handed to him
and he dies in a car wreck
and here's the sharecropper's son
and he saves his money
and gets that kid to school
and gets him graduated
and then he becomes a Nobel laureate
and eventually wins the Nobel prize
for being smart

Strangers
04:20
|

|
these strangers
were so kind
they gave of their time
they were soldiers
for the good fight
why were these strangers
such strangers to me?
why hadn't I been told of
their philosophy?
and they all stood at the
center there
with their hands in the air
and with their hands in the air
they sang
why were the strangers
so strange to me?
why must we all be strangers?

Beans
04:39

|
it was a matter of mutual gratification
we went to the bar that night
and drank up all the inspiration
and you don't have to use your imagination much
to know what I mean
and it became a matter of jubulation
and damn near something like adulation
which is stupid because
we all go to the same gas station
we just need to learn a little bit more communication
and stop yanking each other's chain
cuz we've got no right to complain
so you better go tell Ilene
that it's time to get away from this scene
and don't be mean anymore
cuz your face is made out of plasticine
dialing over green fields
wading through the muddy ditches
stepping over alfalfa
and they were arguing
over which half of the sky they owned
and about little wavy lines on charts
and they were all worried about stupid shit
that didn't matter a hill of beans

Carry On
02:12

and I know
that sometimes it's easy to
just wanna get outta here
and I know
it's easy to think sometimes
that you don't even wanna carry on
but you need to carry on

Wahoo
04:04

I really wanted to tell you about the furnace of fantasy
and I really wanted to tell you about narrow escapes from tragedy
but I didn't really know where to start
and just drifted along like that
not knowing what the hell to do
and that was unfortunate
because I could talk to people in a special way
and if I put my mind to it
you know, I might be able to make a difference
in all our obnoxiousness we arrived
with rose petals in our hands
and we brought Himalayan pink salt in the other hand
and we didn't know what to do because we were like
waaaaaahooooooo
and we didn't know what to do because we were like
whoa--
in all its obnoxiousness we arrived
with rose petals in our hand
and pink Himalayan salt in the other hand
and we didn't know what to do because we were like
whoa
and we didn't know what to do because we were like
wahooo whoa--
and there were places to go from here
there were cliffs to look over
there were bridges to cross
there were rivers and brooks
and there were waterways
that you could just jump over
and there were rivers you could float down
like you were a cork in a bathtub
in all our obnoxiousness we arrived
with rose petal in one hands
and pink Himalayan salt in the other hand
and we didn't know what to do because we were like
waaaaaahooooooo
and we didn't know what to do because we were like
whoa-- whoa--
and there were places to go from here
and there were cliffs to look over
and bridges to cross
and brooks to jump over
there were even rivers
that were too wide to swim across
