The Pest
01:09
|
|||
I don’t mean to be a pest
I just want to get you out of that dress
Make you feel like a tidal wave
Make this land a watery grave
Burn me, my lord
Burn me, oh my lord
For I have sinned for many years
And I will sin for the rest of my years
Put me up on that cross
Cuz my soul is lost

Drunk Think Tank
03:16
|
|||
Drinking, drinking to forget
Thinking, thinking to remember
How things use to be
How things will never be
How things have surely changed
How things will never be the same
Drinking to forget you
Thinking to never forget you
And I’ve been drinking…
Maybe I’ve been drinking too long now
Maybe I’ve been thinking too long now
Maybe I forgot what it is like
To wake up in the early morning
Maybe I forgot what it is like
To leave this home and go and go and go
And go and never look back
Cuz I know you never look back
And I will never look back
I will never look back after this drink
Cuz this drink is what I think
Is my cure and my cure…

Viking Hula Contest
05:36
|
|||
Little dinosaurs hatching and growing out of eggs
While old vikings win hula contests down by the bay
And you’re all like where did all the hip hula girls sway away
away
A way out of the trip
See my loneliness keeps me at bay
And that’s what I’ll say
When you ask me why didn’t you tell me you love me
Tell me that you care?
And I want to French kiss every girl
But I just walk I just walk the other way
And I know I am a coward
And I know I am a wimp
But I just say it’s cuz I am being a gentleman
But even the best kind of gentlemen they know
How to treat a woman, a woman like a queen
And my fears and my pathetic insecurities
They hold me back
From treating you like the queen I know you are
I see it, I know it’s there cuz it’s written in the stars at night
And it shines in your eyes
I get lost in your eyes and they sparkle and they shine
Shine, shine, shine to me
And I feel the love in my toes
And I see the love in your eyes
But I run away, run the other way
Cuz there’s loneliness in my heart
And this loneliness won’t depart
Away, away, away
Away it won’t go
And I know, I know I could love someone who could shoo it away
Away, away
But this darkness I hold in here
This darkness I hold so close
It won’t go away, go away
So I drink it away, drink it away

Spaghetti Dick
00:46
|
|||
A spaghetti dinner followed by days of regret and indigestion
Comatose, laying in bed while waiting for some inspiration
Have the healers and shaman of this world blogged away rituals
Have the romantics disappeared, embarrassed by their own genitals
Like a sadness felt in department stores full of wasted resources
Or the false security given to us by our own country's armed forces
Could my life be headed straight into a back alley circumcision
Apathy has consumed my own creativity and I give the blame to television

Misery Shaker
04:18
|
|||
Ice age Ritas, born in Havana
With their crocodile smiles and all the while
They shake their misery away, they shake their misery away
And the little ones burn into the sun
With their parachute goodbyes, as their innocence dies
They shake their misery away, they shake their misery away
Tell me the tale, of the boy who would sell
His heart just for kicks
And tell me the one about the man, who would do what he can
just to get his fix
Tell me about your broken heart, and how it rips you apart
That you’re all alone and with nobody
And tell me about how you’re so sad, and how it makes you so mad
That you keep on spreading your misery
Ice age Ritas, born in Havana
With their crocodile smiles and all the while
They shake their misery away, they shake their misery away
And the little ones burn into the sun
With their parachute goodbyes, as their innocence dies
They shake their misery away, they shake their misery away
See these moving pictures, see these moving pictures
Move me to tears
See these moving pictures OH! see these moving pictures
Move me to tears
And I will cry when my father dies and they place him in the ground
Just like he would cry if I swallowed all these pills and let myself drown
but no...
I would carry this whole world on my shoulders
If it would bring me back to you
And I would go fight in the desert
If it could sweep me back to you
but no...
It would only bring death, oh
Sing to me, sing to me
Why don't you just sing to me
You got a voice of an angel in there
Why don't you just let it on out
Why don't you get your lips so close to my ear
And sing to me

Sing Sing Sing
03:11
|

Got a tiger on your tail, it’s chasing you down down the well
Got a tiger on your tail and it’s chasing you down down the well
And it’s all well and good yeah it’s all well and good
Cuz it’s good to have something having your back, could bring you back
Cuz I am coming back home, I am coming back to sleep alone
Cuz I am done sleeping on couches
Maybe for a little while and then I’ll go back on the road with my
Sleeping bag and my friends
We’ll open our throats and we’ll open up our hearts and we’ll
Sing sing sing to you, we’ll sing sing sing our songs to you
And maybe you’ll, maybe you’ll like ‘em
Maybe they’ll make your life better
And it’s all well and good if you don’t even give a shit cuz
Hey we’ve all been there
We’ve all been there
And I am packing my bags again and I am saying goodbye to some friends
And I am calling my mom again and I am saying I don’t know
Where I’ll be in ten days or maybe five years I don’t know
Cuz that’s just how it goes, when you wanna be on the road
And I wanna die on the road and I wanna get buried by the highway
So you can drive by and honk your horns and say hello

Winter Sunburns
02:46
|
|||
And I loved traveling with you
And I loved to go miles and miles around with you
Singing songs, breaking hearts, hiding our art in department stores
We felt like renegades
Running away from the winter
Going down south to warmer weather
Sleeping on beaches and getting tanner
And now I return to where it’s colder
And I’ll stop thinking about we’ll grow old together
We’ll still be friends just our paths have gone drifting apart
And now my heart will go on and on
And you will go on too
