When I rode in a trolley across your face
With a Swedish man
I bet that wasn't in your plans for the day
My, what a strange day for poor little Nietzsche
Why so forlorn?
You know we love you, Nietzsche
And all of your friends have come to see you, Nietzsche
So let us see you, Nietzsche
Everyone's waiting, Nietzsche
Don't be so sneaky
When he smeared a candy bar across your face
With a gloveless hand
I thought you'd never stop lashing the Swede
My, what a strange day for poor little Nietzsche
What more could be done on a day like today
Then to lock up your heart and quickly swallow the key?
Now I'm going to tell you something we can do
If you cut off my head, I'll cut yours off for you
I'll cut it off for you
Poor little Nietzsche
Don't be so sneaky
What more could be done on a day like today
Then to lock up your heart and quickly swallow the key?
I like the image of us tossing our heads at a Swedish man
I bet he'd never telephone us again
Not even to say
My, what a strange day for poor little Nietzsche

An Ill-Treated Hiccup
02:23
|
|||
The cats are clawing at the screen door
The neighbors are revving up their cars
The world is just exploding now with people
And all of their noises are drowning out
The cats still clawing at the screen door
I was just a hiccup in the rain
When you struck me with your cane
You made it your life's work to end up a stain
The cats are clawing at the screen door
The neighbors blast speakers from stereos
The world is just exploding now with people
And all of their noises are drowning out
The cats still clawing at the screen door
Crawling at the screen door
I was just a hiccup in the rain
When you struck me with your cane
You made it your life's work to end up a stain
Found after a party!

I'm happy today because I'm in love and feeling afraid
Oh, I hop off the train singing your name
I knock on your door, I don't know what to say
When you answer I just smile and say, "Hey!"
I'm happy today, I'm up on a cloud
And caught in the fray
Oh, I'm pacing the floor in the scarf that I wore
On the day that we met by the old statuette
Of an infant in the nude
We both thought it was lewd
It's a gas to be cast in the haze
And I've been there for days
Yes, I've been there for days
I wanted to play the fabulous game you taught me yesterday
But it's impossible to play when you're away
I take all of my books and I toss them aside
I don't want to read them now
Proust pales to you, somehow
It's a gas to be cast in the haze
And I've been there for days
Yes, I've been there for days
I'm so turned on that nothing can bum my trip
It's a gas to be cast in the haze
And I've been there for days
Yes, I've been there for days

I'm such a vulnerable lad
With nothing to protect me
From your world so bright and full of laughter
I went home and sank my head into the pillow
I close my eyes and try to hear it again
To hear you laughing again
I cried in a dream
While staying at your place
I tried to talk about it over breakfast
But you made a joke out of it
And I never told you why, my, my
My, didn't it seem like you were only playing with me
I wrote you a letter on the flight home
Which evolved into a love poem
So of course I couldn't send it then
I cried in a dream
While staying at your place
I'm such a vulnerable lad
With nothing to protect me
From your world so bright and full of laughter

There's a hole in my sock
Where my shoe always bites it
And that's got to stop or else
I'll feel foolish at the sock-hop, yeah
The sacraments slouch
Near the garnish toupet with ceramic
My name's Marcus and I'm a Martian mime
Well, of course I'm a mime
Where do you think I got
This scoop of Scottish cheese
And not a brick
From brown government buildings?
There's a cloud in my clock
Where the seconds always chide it
And that's got to stop
If I'm going to ride aboard the herbivore, yeah
Whose hourglass fingers
Look starved through the mask
My name's Cassius and I've metamorphosized
Into a nosy guest talking dresses
Made of pheasant breasts
From magazine gown gazebo
And a red-sabred pompous horseman
There's a glare from my smock
Where a cardinal ate his shadow
And that's got to stop
If I'm going to garnish an acorn souffl?
The clowns kneel down and pray
That the police will go away
After first giving them back their balms
So they can swat each other's bearded faces
Once again, once again
There's an "oh my" and "my goodness"
Genuflecting as in battle
And that's got to stop
If I'm going to convert a bouncing Chan Marshall

Charlie & Freddy

Freddy: Look, Charlie, all I'm saying is, she's nothing special. Well, I see ten girls a day just like her out on the thoroughfare
Charlie: Well, I don't think there's any girl out there like Elizabeth. And even if there were, well, how would I find her?
How're you going to find another lady friend
One who'll make you smile?
Think of every moment of the time you'll spend
Together all the while
Dancing and singing
Laughing and kissing
Just think of all the fun you'll be missing, boy
Until you find your girl
Charlie: Well, gee, Freddy, I never thought of it that way. Hey, I got to go!
Freddy: Hey Charlie, slow down! Where you rushing off to?
Charlie: I'm going to go and find me one of them "new girls." How many did you say there was? Ten?
Freddy: That's right. But say, Charlie, how long you going to be gone?
Charlie: Until I find my girl

I'm not confused like you, pig
You're falling from your tree
There's something wrong with you
There's something wrong with me
There's nothing wrong with me
I'm not impressed by you maggots
Falling on the sea
There's something wrong with you
There's nothing wrong with me
But there is something definitely wrong with you
And the way that you view
Your place in the world
You are wrong
You can say what you want
But the truth is so clear
How can you think you are better than anyone?
The thought of it is really just absurd
Your cynical opinions have no depth
You're uninsightful and irrelevant, haven't you heard?
It's time that you heard
I'm not confused like you, twit
You Lester Bangs wannabe
There's something wrong with you
There's nothing wrong with me
There's nothing wrong with me
I'm not impressed by your rank
And tried adolescent ennui
There's something wrong with you
There's nothing wrong with me
But there is something definitely wrong with you
And the way that you view
Your place in the world
You are wrong
You can say what you want
But the truth is so clear
How can you think you are better than anyone?
You don't even create, you just critique
It's so obscene the way that you derive the words of artists
About whom you're not even worthy to speak
Not worthy to speak
We think that you doubt having truth, truly prophetic
It's creepy how you act as if everything is copacetic
Your venomous wit is your crutch
And your heart is so corrupt
You degrade everything you touch
Because you're the champion of the dismissive review, yeah
In your signature style, we compose this review of you

Maple Licorice

Staring at a pool of maple licorice
Trying to imagine what they taste like
Wondering if it's better to imagine than to know
I wanted the song to go
That's how I wrote it to go
The song will never end because it's 3/4 kosher ham

When I was looking for the rainbow
Staring at the gorilla
I thought we'd share some sundae
oh but you ate it all
And I was so scared to fall
but you were some kind of domino
And it was easy
so easy
so easy
to care
when you were always there
it was easy
so easy
so easy
to care
easy when you were always there
But now you know I'm not so friendly
and all my friends are alone

The spooky spider sat in his web
He travels round and round
The spooky spider sat in his web
He travels round and round
The spooky spider sat in his web
He travels round and round
The spooky spider sat in his web
He travels round and round
The spooky spider sat in his web
He travels round and round

Friends of Mine
02:19
|

When we're all in a crowd
And you catch her eye
And then you both smile
I feel so good inside
And when I'm with her
She talks about you
The things that you say
The things that you do
It feels so good to know two people
So in love
So in love
They are friends of mine
They are friends of mine
And they've got something
It's so hard to find
They are friends of mine
They are friends of mine
And they've got something
You don't often find
She takes your hand
When the world stays outside
That's something to see
That's nothing to hide
And when I feel bad
When people disappoint me
That's when I need you two
To help me believe
It feels so good to know two people
So in love
So in love
They are friends of mine
They are friends of mine
And they've got something
It's so hard to find
They are friends of mine
They are friends of mine
And they've got something
You don't often find
It feels so good to know two people
So in love
So in love
They are friends of mine
They are friends of mine
And they've got something
It's so hard to find
They are friends of mine
They are friends of mine
And they've got something
You don't often find

Is Christmas safe?
Is Christmas safe?
Is Christmas safe for animals?
Soft and squishy animated mammals
Tapping so lightly on their teeth with a gun
My god, are they cold?
Is Christmas safe?
Is Christmas safe?
Is Christmas safe for animals?
Crippled with fear of the sparking wires
On an electrical beach
Plagued by the thought
That a bird cannot smile
