Can of Worms
02:19
|
|||
|
to open up this can of worms
you have to peel the label
to feel alone in this crazy world
you have to really think you’re all by yourself
when you’re not
to step inside my parlor, fly
you have to take your shoes off
to fall in love in this crazy world
you have to really think you’re so in touch
when you ain’t close
don’t believe what you see
don’t fall out of a tree
don’t forget who you are
you didn’t hear that from me
it’s not too late to call home
don’t just pick at the bone
you had food, now you’re tired
you’ve had friends, now you’ve grown
it’s no fun all alone
you’ve just begun to play
to fall in love in this crazy world
we have to stick together

Nacho Monkey Funk
03:40
|
|||
|
they might tell you party on
come in and wake you up at the crack of dawn
they might think it’s cute or funny
to try and sell you something when you got no money
they might smoke your last cigarette
pretend they ain’t had a chance to get none yet
they might tell you that they love you
to have you close enough to kick and push and shove you
this is nacho monkey funk
your monkey funk ain’t got no spunk
this is some funk that you can’t junk
they might take your application
and say you need to wait an undetermined duration
they might act genuinely interested
only til you mention that your number’s listed
they might have you come to work
because they need another turk to be the jerk
they might tell you how to do it
oblivious of what it takes to really go through it
this is nacho monkey funk
your monkey funk ain’t got no spunk
this is some funk that you can’t junk
this is nacho monkey funk
this is nacho monkey funk
they might keep a mental file
of everything you ever done they found vile
they might beg for your care
then sabotage whatever you do to get there
they might ask for your opinion
so it’s easier to tell you you’re not forgiven
they might want nothing to do with you
even while it’s obvious they’re not through with you
this is nacho monkey funk
your monkey funk ain’t got no spunk
this is some funk that you can’t junk
this is nacho monkey funk
this is nacho monkey funk
this is nacho monkey funk

Long Sick Road
04:03
|

|
it’s a long sick road I been traveling on
never left for dead but I’m hopeful, son
got lumps on my head, been lumped on some
it’s a long sick road been traveling on
don’t care if you come from a broken home
doesn’t matter to me if you’re all alone
you can be just as useless as you like, that’s right
you can sell all your gas and ride a bike, or hike
I don’t got any interest in your plight
couldn’t care less if you ever found the light
don’t gotta mean anything to you, it’s true
we could have a problem if I do, or two
it’s a long sick road I been traveling on
never left for dead but I’m hopeful, son
got lumps on my head, been lumped on some
it’s a long sick road been traveling on
you got you a big wang better than the big bang
you got all the rope you need to hang
you can keep talking like you got something to say, hey hey
you can talk talk and yack and yap all day, okay
it’s a long sick road I been traveling on
never left for dead but I’m hopeful, son
got lumps on my head, been lumped on some
it’s a long sick road been traveling on
wherever you go keep your booty down low
wherever you go keep your booty down low
wherever you go keep your booty down low
wherever you go keep your booty down low

Fleshy Pink
03:55
|
|||
|
is it alright to think
the world is teetering on the brink
of what we dare not sink our teeth into
lest we bite right through
because I’m shallow, and I’m hollow
and I’m fleshy pink
ghosts in the wood, demons in the hood
gremlins in the White House, freaks in the lighthouse
hurricane winds off the coast of no return
turned God into man, scorched the sand
looking for an answer, fighting for the cancer
after fifteen thousand years you think we’d learn
but no we gotta push it to the edge and test it
nudge it to the breaking point, try and best it
is it any wonder the judge has been arrested
and there’s bats in the cell, bullets in the bell
a splinter in the eyeball, blood in the highball
medium to light sunshine expected soon
turned day into right, scorned the night
using up our talents flipping off the balance
after all this time you think we’d nail the tune
but no we gotta tweak it to our satisfaction
or at least the currents of the standard fashion
is it any wonder the butler got the mansion
is it alright to think
the world is teetering on the brink
of what we dare not sink our teeth into
lest we bite right through
because I’m shallow, and I’m hollow
and I’m fleshy pink
bugs in the walls, rodents in the stalls
money in the chalice, pimps in the palace
volcano blowing on the island of the dead
turned fear against doubt, a tidal bout
handing out disguises, gluing on surprises
after all these wars of course we’re in the red
but hey it’s just a temporary course of action
something like a break, a slight distraction
is it any wonder some peeps invert the fraction
is it alright to think
the world is teetering on the brink
of what we dare not sink our teeth into
lest we bite right through
because I’m shallow, and I’m hollow
and I’m fleshy pink

Egga Light
04:08
|
|||
|
I’m having troubles getting Wi-Fi through this incense
spirits of root beer interfere with my internets
hand-dipped specters, analysis, imprints
impress my ancestors to Blu-ray disc
scan your first witness and give em a kiss
stir up a blizzard, see if it quits
I’m a wizard, I spit it like Oliver Twist
you be begging for more if not pumping your fist
this is high-definition entheogen zen
it’s the same thing over again and again
until you don’t remember when it was you were there
trying to comprehend where it is you’ve been
simply close your eyes and count to ten
if the wind should blow then you should bend
and if you don’t know, better ask a friend
please hold all of your applause til the end
OMG I’m an egga light
I shine inside, outside not as bright
OMG, egga light
OMG I’m an egga light
I shine inside, outside not as bright
OMG, egga light
this is just too weird, I wouldn’t tempt going near it
can’t seem to locate the breaks much less steer it
a sound so ultrasonic dogs can’t hear it
and so damned spooky even God should fear it
get your booty on the floor for the end is nigh
cry for each other like you just got high
off of some fine marijuana that you just got dry
why the hell not, look at the time
rushing like a river down a mountainside
pushing all the rubble and the muck aside
finger on the button for the hyperspace drive
now I know I know you wanna go for a ride
try to abide by the SOP
LSD, THC and DMT
are all readily available through USB on GP
we TCB, baby
OMG I’m an egga light
I shine inside, outside not as bright
OMG, egga light
OMG I’m an egga light
I shine inside, outside not as bright
OMG, egga light
I’m a viper, I’m like a psychological sniper
you are another part of my nightmare, I’ll be right there
fight fair, I’m a solar flare, you’re a polar bear
better drop the stool and pick up a highchair
while I’m impaired, didn’t know that you cared
thanks for sharing, sorry that I wasn’t prepared
I was staring at this eclair, it needs repaired
fucking someone sucked the custard out and filled it with Nair
and I think it was you, looks like something you’d do
it’s true though you’re acting like you don’t have a clue
can’t pull the wool where the wool’s been pulled
can’t learn at school if the school’s been fooled
show me what to do and then go to the zoo
I can handle it, just put some damn fuel in the mule
when you’re gone, party on the lawn as suggested
everyone’s invited, few will be selected
to participate in a secret future perfected
with all due respect use as directed
OMG I’m an egga light
I shine inside, outside not as bright
OMG, egga light
OMG I’m an egga light
I shine inside, outside not as bright
OMG, egga light
OMG, egga light
OMG
OMG, egga light

Moving On
01:44
|

|
the novelty wore off
and I had to move on
I gotta call the other day
from a flat-footed guy who lost his head a lot
he said get your ass in gear, come work over here
clean up the dead a lot, he hadn’t really said a lot
but I left anyway
and then I told him a joke about a vampire in a bar
I didn’t tell it very good
but he laughed anyway
then he said damn you’re funny
that’s just the kind of humor
we need out here in the yard
then he handed me a bag and said
look for the bodies
but I didn’t have to look very hard
well then the novelty wore off
and I had to move on
I got a call the other day
from a corpse I had met on the way

Buy the Farm
02:47
|
|||
|
I don’t believe that I can see
a clear way out of this maze
my stars are all aligned, my ducks are in a row
but I feel the moon above and it’s crazed
talk to me about the future
talk to me about your plans to fix me
or don’t talk to me at all
I try to run, I try to hide
but my body’s tweaked to every phase
my fridge is fully stocked, my mind is crystal clear
but my teeth are razor sharp and I’m dazed
talk to me about the bright side
talk yourself around and around in circles
but just be there when I call
it’s time to buy the farm
it’s time to paint this red town black
ain’t no cause for alarm
we both knew somewhere in time I’d bite you back
i don’t believe that I can see
a clear way out of this maze
my stars are all aligned, my ducks are in a row
but I feel the moon about and it’s crazed
talk to me about the bright side
talk yourself around and around in circles
but it’s time to buy the farm
it’s time to paint this red town black
this time I’m coming armed

Ways to Stand Out
01:41
|
|||
|
I had a friend, he wrote a book
it’s pretty good, you take a look
read to yourself, read it aloud
101 ways to stand out in the crowd
it’s getting published, it’s sure to sell
you’ll like the ending, I cannot tell
a real good story, what’s it about
101 ways to stand out in the crowd
it hit the bookstores, it sold worldwide
there ain’t a chapter I haven’t tried
there’s just one problem I can see now
everyone I know is standing out in the crowd
everyone I know is standing out in the crowd
everyone I know is standing out in the crowd

Weird People
04:12
|

|
spend all the money where the TV say
watch for the preacher man to show the way
follow an education by the school
allow the government to make your rule
trust the illusion to discern what’s true
condemn the ones who disagree with you
everybody, everybody
get into the line of weird people
looking for answers search the science guy
he’s much too smart and he would never lie
make sure you drink your milk and pay the rent
it’s all a lucky cosmic accident
and when it’s over you’ll be sure it’s true
that there ain’t nothing really left of you
everybody, everybody
get into the line
and stop thinking for yourself
you wouldn’t like what you find
go seeking outward help
when the inside is fine
kill off the trees and put your buildings here
eat all the animals and drink your fear
don’t waste a thought for tearing up the place
there’s still a bunch of room in outer space
we’ll keep distorting everything that’s true
you’ll keep on doing what we want you to
everybody, everybody
get into the line of weird people
everybody, everybody
get into the line of weird, weird people
weird people

I just want a monster head to love me
I just want another creature’s face in bed above me
I don’t want a pretty girl, or a pretty boy, or myself
I don’t want a dog or a cat or a fish or a crab
I want something not of this world
what I want is something sort of evil
something that ain’t scared to dance or sing in front of people
I don’t want a pretty girl, or a pretty boy, or myself
I don’t want a dog or a cat or a fish or a crab
I want something not of this world
I don’t need to roam the world searching for myself
and I don’t need a stupid hobby to occupy my time
I don’t need to make new friends or go out on a date
what I need, no person, place or thing in this world can offer me
I just want a monster head to love me
I just want another creature’s face in bed above me
I don’t want a pretty girl, or a pretty boy, or myself
I don’t want a dog or a cat or a fish or a crab
I want something not of this world

get hooked on crack, capped in the back
how about a little anthrax smokestack, oh yeah
we got your fear here, come back
terror alert, economy’s slipping
condition red, stack up your ammunition
pack up your pets and your women and children
possessions, man, death’s at your doorstep, listen
oh, now, don’t wanna talk too crazy
don’t wanna talk too crazy
don’t wanna get you down
oh, now, don’t wanna talk too crazy
don’t wanna talk too crazy
