In this quiet interlude
Soft and medievally
This is the last refuge
Of bad poetry
And wizards and unicorns
From mist-covered mountains borne
They are not too far behind
They are not too far behind
So please
Sing along my friends
Please
Sing along my friends
-------------------
Tigers and spiders and hogs together
Cats and bats and dogs together
Chickens and hippos and frogs together
Someday we're gonna all get together
Amoebas hyenas and birds together
Plumbers and bummers and nerds together
Horses and lizards in herds together
Someday we're gonna all get together
But I feel so wonderful now
I feel so beautiful now
But I feel so wonderful now
Darling, I look wonderful tonight
Wasps and rhinos and hares together
Chinchillas and chihuahuas in pairs together
And godless killer bears together
Someday we're gonna all get together
Mosquitos burritos and clams together
Elephants and Residents fans together
Flies and lions and lambs together
Someday we're gonna all get together
But I feel so wonderful now
I feel so beautiful now
But I feel so wonderful now
Darling, I look wonderful tonight

Hello hello hello
He's trolling for my vote
He says he understands
But he won't shake my hand
Ha ha
Some gods you are
Hurrah
What frauds you are
Ha ha
They live in a world we can almost imagine
We can almost imagine
Almost imagine
Too much too much too much
He has that common touch
And if I only would agree
He would go away happy
Ha ha
Some gods you are
Hurrah
What frauds you are
Ha ha
They live in a world we can almost imagine
We can almost imagine
Almost imagine
Farewell farewell farewell
You're on your private jet
I'm riding on the bus
There's not much to discuss
Ha ha
Some gods you are
Hurrah
What frauds you are
Ha ha
They live in a world we can almost imagine
We can almost imagine
Almost imagine
We live in a world they can almost imagine
They can almost imagine
Almost imagine

Time Traveling Alone
02:47
|

Somehow I always end up
Time travelling alone
Sadly, there is no master plan
Sorry to be paranoid that's why I'm
Time travelling alone
And you can tell a lot about these ancient civilizations
By what they chose to throw away
Obviously there are certain time periods
Where I'm more welcome than I am in others
Sadly, there is no master plan
No matter how I plan and scheme I end up
Time travelling alone
And every year is a story...I think
In Tim Horton's 1973
Drinking coffee alone
Sadly, there is no master plan
And there are certain time periods
In which I am more welcome than I am in others

Race To The Bottom
02:14
|

Race to the bottom
How far down can we go?
Every time we think we're done
There's more room down below
Race to the bottom
Just like a falling dream
And there's no time to scream
Race to the bottom
Crashing through the basement floor
We'll keep plunging down and down
And sliding ever more
Race to the bottom
The speed might make us puke
We might survive by a fluke
And I've heard it said
And it's surely true
There's no one else I'd rather hit
The bottom with than you
Awww

One Man's Trash
02:55
|
|||
|
Never Enough, that's the name of this town
You find something on the sidewalk
So you pick it up and chow it down
And that's the way it's gotta be
It's an ugly era unfortunately
Waste not want not that's how it should be
People throw so much away
You suspect they think it's all free
But that's just a fantasy
Because we all pay eventually
Hey man oh man my man my man my man
Hey man oh man my man
This is your lucky day
Hey man oh man my man my man my man
Hey man oh man my man
I can't believe someone threw that away
One man's trash
Is another man's stash
Is another man's damn lucky catch
One man's trash
Is another man's cash
Is another man's escape hatch
I have never been so low
But I have lots of crap to sell
To those guys on that TV show
I'm sure you know the one
Where they're having lots of fun
Commerce City- stay away from that town
They'll find you out on the sidewalk
With a chalk line drawn around
And that's the way they gotta be
Just to make it in this industry
Hey man oh man my man my man my man
Hey man oh man my man
This is your lucky day
Hey man oh man my man my man my man
Hey man oh man my man
I can't believe someone threw that away
One man's trash
Is another man's stash
Is another man's damn lucky catch
One man's junk
Is another man's funk
Is another man's good healthy chunk
One man's crap
Is another man's map
Is another man's long peaceful nap
One man's trash
Is another man's hash
Is another man's Crosby and Nash

I'll be the grooviest cadaver in the morgue
They leave me to sparkle on the slab
I'll be the grooviest cadaver in the morgue
I'm the very best one they ever had
I'll be the grooviest cadaver forever more
I'll make these other stiffs look pretty drab
I'll be groovy ever after
The grooviest cadaver in the morgue
I'll be the grooviest cadaver in the morgue
With my top hat in my hand
The grooviest cadaver in the morgue
All the other corpses think I'm mighty grand
A dapper cadaver forever more
I am rested and I'm tanned
Groovy ever after
The grooviest cadaver in the morgue
And the coroner said
Everyone respects the dead
Because they outnumber us you see
But none of them are groovy as me
I'll be the grooviest cadaver in the morgue
I got a cardboard tag on my toe
Soon everyone will be wearing one
On all those groovy TV shows
The grooviest cadaver in the morgue
I have that certain glow
Groovy ever after
The grooviest cadaver in the morgue
I'll be the grooviest cadaver in the morgue
Nobody can compare
The grooviest cadaver since Gerald Ford
I'll bring class and style down there
The happiest cadaver you ever saw
Open up my drawer and check my hair
Groovy ever after
The grooviest cadaver in the morgue

Some Monsters Are Polite

Some monsters are polite
They're quite alright
And maybe they just might
Show you what they like to do at night
Some demons are a gas
They'll make you laugh
But you'd better watch your ass
They had plans for you in the past
Some monsters are polite
They're very bright
Yes they're all sweetness and light
Up until you say goodnight

You Can Do No Wrong
02:39
|

What Oh What will the neighbors say?
You can do no wrong
And the clothes you wore just the other day
Your butler made sure they were incinerated
There's one lesson for you to learn
You can do no wrong
And these documents are a snap to burn
And the JPGs have all been deleted
No wrong
Do no wrong
You don't need no stinkin' law
Because you can do no wrong
And that's what a paper shredder is for
Only $29.99 after factory rebate
Anyone can be the President
But you can do no wrong
We can make it look like an accident
But first we gotta get our narratives straight
And hope you can continue to do no wrong
No wrong
Do no wrong
You can do no wrong
You can do no wrong
Wrong

Whimsical Blackout Ghost

I propose a toast
To my favorite blackout ghost
I'm sure gonna miss you more than most
Let us praise our host
He's a famous blackout ghost
Celebrated now from coast to coast
Someday someday
Maybe we'll meet again someday
All the experts say
To remember yesterday
Blackout ghost just fades them all away
Swiss cheese memory
Full of gaps and holes you see
Blackout ghost that's what you did for me
Me... Me...
Someday someday
Maybe we'll meet again someday
So let's raise a toast
To my whimsical blackout ghost
I'm sure gonna miss you more than most

I got a bag full of nothing
And nothing's working for me
There is no buzz about me
And it's easy to see
I got a whole lotta nothing going on
Going on going on
Nothing happened this week
Or the week before
If something happened someday
That's what I live for
I got a whole lotta nothing going on
Going on going on
No
Nothing
Nothing going on
Nohow
Huh
Nada
Nothing left inside
Not there
A whole lotta nothing going on
Please grab my shoulders and shake me hard
So I know somebody cares
A kick in the nuts is better than
Nothingness and despair
I got a whole lotta nothing going on
Going on going on
No
Nothing
Nothing going on
Nohow
Huh
Nada
Nothing left inside
Not there
A whole lotta nothing going on

Call It A Day
02:48
|

Sadly I think you've mistaken
Me for a much much smarter man
But I think I act in good faith when I can
Some days I wear a name tag
Just another way for me to say
I'd be rapturously overjoyed to help you today
When I'm home in bed at rest
That's when I'm probably at my best
Okay I say
Let's call it a day
It's been fun but I'm done
I'm a setting sun
We regret to inform you
This department is closed for the day
But please leave a message at the sound of the tone anyway
This day was nondescript
Unexceptional apocalyptic bore
It was everything I could have hoped for
Home... if I won the lottery
I would probably never leave
Okay I say
Let's call it a day
It's been fun but I'm done
I'm a setting sun
