Advance
03:23
|
|||
One day, I woke up- to find that my house had burned down
It came by no surprise, this is how I expect things to turn out
My gold has all begun to rust
My dollar bills are turning to dust
I just need to catch the bus
You see I'm headed way downtown
I need an advance on pay
All my dollars have slipped away
And my coins have fallen out my pocket
One day I woke up to find out that my ship had sailed
My number had been drawn
It was my time to bail
I need an advance on pay all my dollars have slipped away
And my coins have fallen out my pocket
I'm looking for some change I lost all mine the other day
When I was making bets on the future
My gold has all begun to rust
My dollar bills are turning to dust
I just need to catch the bus
You see I'm headed way downtown

Caravan Man
02:56
|

I was once a caravan man
Careening across the wide wide land
But I'm settled now,
Rooted to the ground
My wheels have turned to stone
I've turned around and marched on home
I'm settled now
I'm rooted to the ground
Some days I'd like to have known
In spite of my leaves how they've grown
Are the days of adventure really through?
What to do what to do?
I fear that I already know
And it's gotten cold
The door has closed
And cast a warm summer glow
I thought the wheel was control but it's zero
And now that I know would I make the same choice?
Or was it foisted on me by circumstance
Beyond my control
I am mu Mu is you
What to do?
Neither Yes nor No
Where to go
Where to be?
No nothing occurs to me

Back When
02:56
|

Way back when
Do you remember way back when?
Way back when
Do you remember way back when?
You had a heart
And I had a brain
They were good
At driving us insane
You made an offer
And I made a trade
Both left the other
Each feeling played
Way back when
Do you remember way back when?
Way back when
Do you remember way back when?
I got that letter from you
I knew better
Than to open it right there
I left out the door
Grasping my sides
Gasping for air
Way back when
Do you remember way back when?
Way back when
Do you remember way back when?
I left home and you left me
Sadly for another
I picked up the telephone
And called my mother
Way back when
Do you remember way back when?
Way back when
Do you remember way back when?

Comfortable
03:09
|

When it's cold
I don't feel the snow
And when I'm feeling lonely
I know where to go
Cus you make me feel fuzzy inside
And it's hard to feel upset
When you're in my
In my sight
Comfortable
Oh comfortable
Comfortable
I'm comfortable when I'm with you
And outside
The wind might be abreezin
And though it's already March
The weather is a freezin
But that's ok
I've got a secret
A secret to tell you
Please keep it between us
It's not something to share
Comfortable
I'm comfortable
Comfortable
I'm comfortable when I'm with you
Comfortable
I'm comfortable
Comfortable
I'm comfortable when I'm with you
And though
We're inside for my birthday
I know we'll have the greatest time anyway
And see there's only one thing that I need
And it's you babe
I only to hear one person say
"Happy birthday"
Comfortable
I'm comfortable
Comfortable
I'm comfortable when I'm with you

Corpo Jesus
02:25
|
|||
We're setting off for the yellow brick road
The path that we're taking I hear is paved with gold
I hope I sound humble cus I do not mean to goad
But praise corporate Jesus he's the only lord I know
Hail gold bow to globalization
Just ask human resources it's sweeping the nation
Praise finance the spring of fiscal flow
And praise corporate Jesus, the only lord I know
Our path is guided by the hand of the market
Invisibly, it dictates where we live
It gives the order and we follow behind
It's not that great I see but it sure beats being blind
Hail gold bow to globalization
Just ask human resources it's sweeping the nation
Praise finance the spring of fiscal flow
And praise corporate Jesus, the only lord I know
Get your briefcase ready so you don't get left behind
Keep an eye on S+P and buy low and sell off high
Always invest with wisdom and your limit is the sky
Stocks, bonds, and CD's, always diversify
Hail gold bow to globalization
Just ask human resources it's sweeping the nation
Praise finance the spring of fiscal flow
And praise corporate Jesus, the only lord I know
Hallelujah, the DOW is up again,
If you don't buy in now, you'll invest in sin
Be sure to tip your broker and I'll tip my hat
Remember Corpo Jesus knows where you are at
Hail gold bow to globalization
Just ask human resources it's sweeping the nation
Praise finance the spring of fiscal flow
And praise corporate Jesus, the only lord I know
Hallelujah, the DOW is up by 15 points
15 Whoooooooole points

Disease
03:17
|
|||
I sense a sense of disease in the air
And it's making me queasy
I see a scene of unrest everywhere and it's out of control
The trams have sought a safe haven
The parks have all been empty for days
And the children are in for the night
Expecting spectation,
Spring reared it's head
To find only an abandoned lane
One place to stumble
And all of us fumble
In one place all things are made
The cracks in the wall
See how quickly they grow
A thin whispy façade it is fading
Skin deep veneer, struck suddenly sheer
Sought shelter in the shade
The trams have sought a safe haven
The planes are fleeing the sky
The parks have been empty for days
And the children are in for the night
Astounding transmission,
Despite superstitions
Left flaws exposed in it's wake
One place to stumble
And all of us fumble
In once place all things are made
The cracks in the wall
See how quickly they grow
A thin whispy façade it is fading
Skin deep veneer, struck suddenly sheer
Sought shelter in the shade
I sense a sense of disease in the air
And it's making me queasy
I see a scene of unrest everywhere and it's out of control

Old School
02:11
|
|||
Back in 1999
I rode my bicycle
The streets are empty today
Cold as an icicle
I was a member of the old school
Before it was cool
Graduated like a cylinder
In education
Boy, things have changed
And I'm not sure for the better
The kids today they do less drugs
And commit more suicide
I was a member of the old school
I was a member of the old school
Of the old school
Of the old school

Piwo Man
04:06
|
|||
I have found my home on the range
I've settled down but I'm feeling so lame
Like a sword on a shelf
Or a bird in a cage
I'm still looking young
But feel more than my age
Inside is a fight
With my rage and my guilt
Sometimes I feel
For this life I wasn't built
I've got a problem with time
But I'm alright on money
Got plenty of dough
But we're fresh out of honey
Piwo Man don't you understand?
Piwo Man I know that you get it
It's stupid I know
I miss minimum wage
Not a factor of pay
It's a factor of age
Who knows what I'd give
To have time back again
The mortal stay stay dead
And suicide is a sin
Grains of sand
In the hourglass
Cutting through lives
Like a blade through the grass
Piwo Man don't you understand?
Piwo Man I know that you get it
Folks come and they go
Too soon or too late
Inspiring love
Or inspiring hate
Piwo Man don't you understand?
Piwo Man I know that you get it
I have found my home on the range
I've settled down but I'm feeling so lame
Like a sword on a shelf
Or a bird in a cage
I'm still looking young but feel more than my age
Piwo Man don't you understand?
Piwo Man I know that you get it
You ran the night and I hear you calm down
Only one thing's for sure, you have finished your round

I'd be a fool
To say that you weren't in this story
The truth is that you were the first one on scene
Flames lashed up in the air
And outside, I heard someone scream
I'd be a fool to say that you weren't in this story

Piece of Mind
03:15
|
|||
I'm in a mood to give a piece of mind to you
And I just can not see through
And I don't know what to do
I have nothing nice to say
So instead I say nothing at all
Piece of mind is a piece of my mind
A piece of my mind to hide in
There you go skulking around
In the dark what did I say
That a creature as dim as you
Has no business in the day
I'd like to give you a piece of my mind
I'd like to give you a piece of my mind
There you go creeping around
In the dark, what did I say?
That a creature as dim as you
Has no business in the day
And I'd like to give a piece of my mind
So watch what you say

Spring Cleaning
03:08
|
|||
Oh baby, I missed you
Like a spring stuck inside
Oh baby I miss you
Like a ship misses the tide
Since you've gone
I've rediscovered outside
Without you
I feel awful light
Carried by the breeze
Carried by the breeze
Since you've been gone
I'd say the view has improved
And it's about due
The fog has lifted
And I can finally see through
Oh baby I missed you
Like a spring stuck inside
Oh baby I miss you
Like a ship misses the tide
Since you've gone
I've rediscovered outside
Without you
I feel awful light
Carried by the breeze
Since you've been gone
I'd say the view has improved
And it's about due
The fog has lifted
And I can finally see through

The Window
04:31
|
|||
Twenty-nine days in and my neighbour hasn't stopped drilling
One more day and I think I'll have to start killing
Twenty-nine days for the world to go insane
One more day and I'll have lost my brain
To the window
To the window
From my balcony
The street is all I can see
The sun sets in the west
But the window faces east
The park across the street
Used to have more trees
But one of them fell over
One night in the breeze
To the window
To the window
The bodega used to have
More people in line
But I'm about to have
Another hour of sunshine
Another hour of sunshine
Another hour of sunshine
To the window
To the window
I have a neighbour across the street
Who stays up late at night
I don't know who they are
But I can see their light
I wonder do they watch
The same things that I do
But I have no idea
Cus I cannot see through
To the window
To the window

Reflexes
04:18
|
|||
Each morning I take a hard look
In the mirror at my reflection
Hidden in my visage
I view a reflex for deflection
And it's a fight
But it's alright to be me
I say hello to the pavement
And say goodbye to the trees
Cus it's a joke
The cruelest joke
That the jobs are in the city
It's a joke, the cruelest joke
That life has played on me
I swear I'm not an addict
And I don't know where
You got that impression
My drug of choice has
Always been my depression
And the moon has set
On my empire of the night
By the time the sun rises
I am loathe to see the light
Oh it's a fight
But it's alright
To live in the city
But it's a joke
The cruelest joke
That life has played on me
Oh it's a fight
But it's alright
To live in the city
But it's a joke
The cruelest joke
The cruelest one I've ever seen
When you search for the darkness
I assure it's all you'll ever find
Some days my heart it feels black
Other days all I see is the light
And it's alright I'll supply
To sometimes exercise discretion
But I'll concede that other days call
For a clear path of succession
Oh it's a fight
But it's alright
To live in the city
But it's a joke
The cruelest joke
That life has played on me

Tell me have you seen the Cathay Cat
Or a Kangaroo or a bombay rat?
No I thought so, oh no I thought so
When I was a young man,
There were many things that I wanted to see
Now I'm ramblin' ramblin' ramblin' ramblin' around
Tell me have you see the Cathay Cat
Or a Kangaroo or a Bombay Rat?
No I thought so, oh no I thought so.
Ramblin ramblin ramblin around
I'm ramblin ramblin ramblin ramblin ramblin around
Tell me have you seen the ocean blue
Or the other side of the southern moon
What's the furthest thing you've ever seen
If it's not outside your comfort then don't bother me
Ramblin around
Tell me have you seen the Cathay Cat
Or a Kangaroo or a Bombay Rat
No I thought so
Oh no I thought so
Have you ever seen the southern moon
On the other side of Old Rangoon
Tell me have you seen anything at all?
I might not be well educated but I'm well traveled
Ramblin about a first hand account
Rambolators are the last to count
Tell me have you seen the Cathay Cat
Or a Kangaroo or a Bombay Rat?
No I thought so, oh pity I thought so

My Stupid Digital Life

My stupid digital life is so much better than my real one
I'm a level 99 mage with ancient magic
So watch what you say
I'm the mayor of the whole town
Did I mention I built the whole thing?
Yeah it's no big deal but here I'm kind of a king
My stupid digital life is so much better than my real one
I'm a zombie hunting badass with a shotgun
In my stupid digital life
Yeah it's so much better than my real one
I'm an award-winning racecar driver
Laughing from first place
My stupid digital life
Is so much better than my real one
So much than my real one

Hawai'i
03:47
|

I'd rather be in Hawai'i
But not to live there, that's a little rich for me
I'd like to be on a beach
But not to live there, that's a little bummy for me
My brother he once said to me
I'd like to be in your shoes
Where the grass looks green
But the truth is that I never fit in
By the time I found my place
I'm kicked right back out again
I'd rather be in Hawai'i
I'd rather be on a beach
I'd rather be in Hawai'i
But it's just a little too rich for me
I'd rather be El Condor Pasa
Flying wherever I want first class
Like a square peg in a round hole
Like a fish in the wrong shoal
Like a square peg in a round hole
Like a fish in the wrong shoal
I'd rather be in Hawai'i
I'd rather be on a beach
I'd rather be in Hawai'i
But it's just a little bit rich for me
My brother he once said to me
I'd like to be in your shoes
Where the grass looks green
And I said that if you'd seen what I'd seen
Well I have got a feeling you wouldn't feel so keen
I'd rather be in Hawai'i
But it's just a little too rich for me
I'd rather be on a beach in Hawai'i
But I'm not in the right tax bracket
I'd rather be on a beach in Hawai'i
But I'm not in the right tax bracket
Indecipherable yelling
I'd rather be on a beach on a beach on a beach in Hawai'i
