See you there With eyes like explosions Want to erase it But the sight's so corrosive It's rather irking With my ribs so eroded Cemented silence And sedated progression It's playing havoc With my manic depression I'm sorry but Time's up for this session I can't speak- Strangled by the tension I want to bang my head Until my eyes bleed It's stuck in my head Like an imaginary fiend Every fleeting glance tugs downward like a church bell what the hell is going on in there? A chatterbox opera echoed across the stairs Hair falls off Like flower petals Room's heating up Like bending metal And my shoulders Can't seem to settle (down) And when the distance gaps The pinging gets so fast-paced It's so haste That I can not retrieve Even though it looks Like I've freezed

Hey, while we're out We might as well Scream and shout We might as well Bust the fun tunes out We might as well Dance around I don't know what I've been told But I've sure been feeling old My mind and bone's been feeling old And I don't see the wrinkle's here But now I've grown a beard I've really gotta shave this beard It's not good at all Hey, while we're out We might as well Put our feet in the dirt We might as well Not doubt We might as well Go ahead and jump first Something's giving me Jeeper's creepers Something scary about car beepers Something odd about minesweeper I've got thought's and I've got time I've got voices in my mind I've been feeling kind of left behind I'm zoning out Hey, while we're out We might as well get something going We might as well Shout out We might as well Get our minds glowing The hand slaps the mouth that preaches Puts some reeses in your pieces Puts the knife to ticks and leaches Let's get bread that comes from france Let's get ourselves put in a trance Let's pretend we even stand a chance Until it falls Getting dizzy, getting frail Comparing sprite to ginger ale Knowing that this just won't sail It's okay to rock the boat this time It's okay to rock the boat this time Rock the boat Rock the boat Ah, Ra He Ow.

Hey you, where's your mind at? Did you leave it in the cabinet? Where the seeds grow slowly And eat your mind, surely Where's your mind at? Hey you, where'd you leave your time? Perhaps in the snow? White, crisp, glistening In which under, does your time lie? Hey you, can you hear the beating? The constant footsteps nearing. Chanting, "Revolution" Red stains white. But can you hear the rainbow emerging? Can you hear the autonomy? I'm not flirtious I'm not flirtious at all I'm just a bit Slushular

They resigned to a better life As I watched them build their ego On a firm foundation of lies I had no complaints As I watched them worship saints Believe me, that was no surprise I found myself today In the most convenient way You killed off the time By holding up a sign The hills capsized and it came as no surprise as I watched them throw away their dreams. They resigned to a better life and alienation's for the rich it seems Don't be getting sore when you're feeling poor Please don't feel inclined to get a straighter spine They devote themselves to something they haven't really felt. And I think it's only a matter of time. I saw you apply to something you'd never try and I think that you've put down the sign I found myself today in the most convenient way Though it wasn't quite endorsed by any reliable source They resigned to a better life as I watched them build their ego on a firm foundation of lies. The universe's soul has gone down 20 points on a national poll And believe me, that was no surprise I found myself today in the most convenient way

Now I'm melting in a daydream I have another crush Or at least that's how it seems Melting in a daydream Well She's cutest when she laughs Yeah, you know Like my thoughts are floating on a raft On a low Liquid marble stream Melting in a daydream Everything she says Matters to me And I admit Sometimes I forget how to be I'm kinda lost It might seem Melting in a daydream Oh what girl Who's trance has left me blank My heart went to sea And now my subconscious sank And now my styrophome heart flows upstream Melting in a daydream

I'll tell you how I feel in semaphore so that you can't understand. And if the flags burn, I guess I'll just turn around and hide my head in the sand. I can't think of how to describe this thing right now. I need to be careful about how my words come out. I want to arrive at your castle just to hear your name proclaimed. Hear the trumpets sound your arrival so loud you'd think the messiah came. So I guess since I have no signals that this somehow became more direct. But I'm not naming names, so I think it's turned out for the best. I can't help if my heart races I can't help the side-effects. And though working it out would be complicated I can't help where my mind is set. Overwhelming jitters is the only way I have to describe. It's etched in my brain, and now I just want to run and hide.

You saw the war-pig And turned him into your shoes Leather shoes You saw the one-eyed cow And declared him an alien From outer space Wasn't that a trip? You saw the way I Looked at you, and you thought I was perveted Well, aren't we all? Aren't we all? Well, I didn't think you were All that modest, anyway And I didn't think you'd care With the way that you talk about things You didn't seem to care When that other guy Came and grabbed your arm I like the way that you Sit and stare when You think nobody really cares And I thought your hair Was better dark than when you Dyed it half-blond the other day. But what could I say? You were right, my friend I was wrong To hold on for As long as I did In fact, I find it quite ironic. I thought that the show Was rather good And you thought it was long and drawn out I disagree Well, I hope you know this don't hurt a bit No, this don't hurt a bit. You didn't really think about it You just remembered the past You remembered And at least you did that And actually I thought It was a good idea It made me laugh It made me chuckle like Ha ha ha, ha ha ha, He he, ho ho, ha ha, he he, Ha ha ha This is the last thing I have to say to say to you I just hope that you know That I care what you think It's not that I don't Care what anyone else thinks I just don't want to take the time To sit here and argue my point No, I don't want to argue!

Clumsiness hurts Like a fox to the geese Like Socrates Brought fame to Greece Like Frankenstein Just wanted peace. Like Stalin got Folks off the street. Fairness stings Like a moth to a lantern Like suspicious minds Keep seeing patterns Like Mars covets The rings of Saturn Fairness stings, Like bugs to the lantern. And you'll wake up late And miss your train And mumble that It's such a pain Chew processed grain As you choose You're flipping out Tails, you lose Ethics stalemate Like a palm to the tree Like sirens end Lives at sea Like the mind fears Entropy Like the Skrulls war With the Kree And the elevator Falls too fast And you never thought It could be so vast. No sentients compare And none contrast And everybody must Lose some sleep To concern Sometimes...

No, I don't believe in magic. it's a word for which is unknown, but natural. I'm going to split your thoughts in two You're going to feel Oh so dull. Yes, I believe your word's worth something. I'm a little naïve, yes. And that which is non-existent hasn't entered. This is not a test. Perhaps your left and right brain are just a little bit uneven. Think you're alright. I do actually think you're alright. I'm thinking to ask without any hindsight- If you're that charming by nature or if you try too hard. Don't fret, friend It's just a single thought through a little corner that you didn't see, the end- At the end of your rope ladder. Can you blame me? Wait, what even for? Lost in the constant questions and the silly little dream stains on the floor.
