I think you're forgetting
that's it's your job to be kind
I think I might need to point that out to you
it's your job to be kind
I thought I might need to repeat that to you
don't be a dick
afterall it's your job to be kind
it's something you might want to think about
and not forget don't be a dick
oh, don't be a dick
of course the real song
would have been much better
this was just a practice song
and we'll probably delete it later

This Moment
02:47
|
|||
|
he wanted to go there
but he wasn't exactly sure
that he was ready yet
he wasn't sure
he was quite ready yet
but he sure wanted to go
but almost
no one knows
what makes a person go
where the wind blows
and he wanted to go
but he wasn't sure
he was quite ready yet
and he really wanted to go
but he wasn't quite sure
that he was quite ready yet
nothing matters more
than this moment
and nothing matters more
than this single moment of time

Stuck On You (For Becky)
04:29
|
|||
|
and it's easy to get stuck on something little
and it's easy to get stuck on something
that you don't even want to get stuck on
but I'm so happy to be stuck on you
and I'm so happy that you stuck it out too
cuz I'm sure as hell stuck on you
and it means so much to love you
and I've been with you a long time
I've learned to respect you more and more
for your honesty
and your effort to
do what's right
and I love a lot for that
and I love you a lot for just being you
and I mean
what was I supposed to do
being so
stuck on you?
this song is about done
but I'm still stuck on you
and the song is about done
and I'm still stuck on you

She Went On To Say
02:47
|
|||
|
And she went on to say
One time she danced with Sugar Ray
And she was on her way
And she was on her way
To East L.A.
And she ran away
With Bobby Flay
And I didn't know what to say
And it was New Year's Day
But now I have to go away

1 Piece
03:07
|
|||
|
I do one piece at a time
I do one piece and then I turn around and do another
there's a piece here
that needs to be done by you
there's a piece here that's missing
without you
you are needed
you are wanted
you are thought of fondly
all over town
and there's a piece here missing
but hey, you can help me there
cuz that missing piece is you
I do one piece at a time
I do one piece at a time

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

Thin Ice
03:00
|
|||
|
And where the ice is thin
even the juggernaut can stumble
and where the ice is thin
even an Argonaut can fumble
and you fumble and you stumble
and you slide on that thin ice
and it's a slippery
snow-covered
field of dreams
that takes me back there
and where the ice is thin
even a juggernaut can stumble
even an Argonaut can break his leg
and even an astronaut can stumble
even a football hero can fumble
and everybody needs to be just
a little bit more humble

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

Sneakin
04:27
|
|||
|
There's a lot of people sneaking around
squeaking around painted corners
and they're sneaking around
cuz they're afraid of everything
they're afraid of everything
and they don't know what to do with themselves
because they're so scared
I mean, 24/7 conspiracy theories and
you're worried about a lotta shit
so they're sneaking around
sneaking around painted corners
and they're squeaking around cuz they're so whiny
and they believe the world's gonna end
in about three and a half minutes and
if it doesn't, it's still gonna be miserable
and that's pretty stupid
and they're sneaking around
cuz they're afraid of everything
in their world, the sun doesn't even shine
and there's little joy in anything
when you're worried that the world's gonna end tomorrow
and they're squeaking around painted grey corners
and they're sneakin around
sneakin around all over town cuz they're scared
and need to hole up at your house for the night
"Hey Bro, can I come on in?"
"Uhhhhhhhhhhh, no."

Last Watch
03:34
|
|||
|
they were hiding out in the hay fields
hiding behind those great big bales of hay
and nobody knew what they were doing out there
but they were watching us
yeah
that's for sure
and you know
you behave a certain way
when you know that people are watching you
and it isn't the way that
when people aren't watching you
everybody just sits there
and not watching each other
until they wonder what the other guy is doing
and start being afraid about that
and you know
he's probably just out
watering his lawn or something
but some people will decide it's a conspiracy
and decide to burn down his barn
and we wondered how we got to this place
we wondered why it was us
that was getting picked on

circumpolar apogee
circumpolar orbit
it's a circumpolar orbit
rendering
infrared images of
the side that's violet green
circumpolar
orbit
dead reckoning
are these really just things that rhyme?
or did I visit there one time
long ago
far away?

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?

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

Secondhand
04:58
|
|||
|
counting the seconds on the second hand
grabbing your clothes at the secondhand store
and talking about secondhand stuff
like smoke and old friends and auto parts
counting the seconds on the second hand
counting seconds on the second hand
I went to get clothes for the band
at the secondhand store
I bought a secondhand diamond and it
was still just as good as
when it was first sold to
the first dude who bought it
and I came across this bed frame, uh, secondhand
and some people don't really have a clue of what
that kind of feeling is all about

Spinning
02:54
|
|||
|
It's far
into the future
far away
from here right now
and it's a time of mega cities
and we've learned how to exploit
geometry and math
to our own gain
and it's just a matter of cause and effect
spinning
but never undoing
beyond extraordinary
beyond comprehension
be on time
beyond time
and the pattern will follow like
cause and effect
and the past predicts the future
and it's beyond comprehension
and it's beyond time
cuz it's beyond extraordinary
and despite what people say
things are going pretty well

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

Trigger
04:16
|
|||
|
just one more time
before you
pull on that trigger
I stepped back and I said
hey, just before you
pull the trigger there
why don't you
gimme one moment to spare
tugging at the heart strings
hitchhiking home
do you even know
your way home?
do you even know
your way home?
I mean, how did we
get here from there?
I don't remember
going anywhere
I don't recall
going anywhere

Shameful
02:42
|
|||
|
this melody is almost shameful
and so here's a little bit of
complication to get you by
the trash people aren't coming
and this wouldn't have happened
if you hadn't have been so damn
stubborn in the first place
what the hell are we supposed to
do with this now
where the hell are we supposed to hide this?
and this has happened a few times before
but I wouldn't wanna ask you more
maybe because
it's like an oozing sore
this melody is almost shameful
so here's some complication for you
but you need to just carry on
and you need to just continue
squeaking by

Nice
06:08
|
|||
|
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
|

20. |

|
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

Instrumental
|

22. |

|
absent arrangements prior
absent arrangements with the staff
with the management
with the administrator
absent instructions
we behave a particular way
somewhat on the balances
of moral judgement perhaps
yeah perhaps
perhaps
perhaps on the bounds of reckoning
we stumble forward bumbling
and mumbling our words
through the night of inebriation
and liberating profundity
yeah waiting absent arrangements
we decided to act a particular way
at the request of the deceased
and how can you come to us now
and accuse us of not handling
the situation appropriately
how dare you
how dare you come at me that way
bro?
back off
with your demanding rhetoric
back off with your
commanding presence already
what, do you think you're... Jonas?
