Spookster
02:59

Light flickers in through the cracks in the wall
an old abandoned shack where the spiders crawl
night fall is coming
there's no moon tonight
I guess we're camping out by candle light
try to spark a flame with wet matches
pickin' cobwebs from your eyelashes
when everything is silent
my heart beats so violent
a hint of irony when spooks spook the spookster
scaredy cat
run so fast
who spooked the spookster?
scaredy cat
run so fast
who spooked the spookster?
Year after year
I have to embrace my fears
tremblin' in my boots I nearly break down in tears
living in a nightmare that keeps re-occuring
If I could prove it's in my mind
I'd find it reasurring
cannibals and witch doctors chanting by the fire
raising wicked spirits swirling in a smoky spire
manifestations, incantations
I'm getting scared
now change the station
Home, home
Tonight
Is where I wanna be
Home, home
Tonight
Is where I wanna be

across the shores
of tuesday's seas
we kissed the sands
on hands and knees
the king declared
a mighty war
then choked on a pretzel
while checking the half time score
from check
to check mate
now that's pretty good
for the first date
and house plants
can slam dance
but that's only
from the first glance
now save me
I'm crazy
I ate the purple pastries
check yourself
put it into perspective
right now
she puts you in the position
where you've gotta make a decision
you can multiply your feelings
and still end up with division
refrigerator magnet alphabet love letters
always break my heart
*break my heart
now save me
I'm crazy
I ate the purple pastries
check yourself
put it into perspective right now

Perry Mason
03:40
|
|||
|
Unspoken rhyme detects unwanted crime
with thoughts, diversions, sudden schemes
corridors unveil like underground streams
pathways blocked, we'll crack these rocks
hammers, rifles, notepad, ink
floating minds will surely sink
pride and envy lack soulful style
as codes unfurl and fingers dial
scanning chains for weakened links
collecting dust, unbending kinks
no case worth winning for a smile
innocent men stand on trial
The night is dark
the falcon flies overhead

Radio Moanstar

Driving in my car
I turn the radio on
listenin' to the stations
with the latest songs
I need a fresh jam
so I can sing along
then I turn the radio off
cuz it don't turn me on
808 party beat
with a recycled melody
every auto-tuned voice
committing lyrical felony
prepubescent pop-star
with a record deal
you're just another way
to sell a happy meal
every nu-metal breakdown
with the same chug-a-chugs
every gangsta rap song
about bitches and thugs
chopsticks playin'
at every piano recital
Celine Dione again on American Idol?!
now every teenie bopper
will be rockin' the suburbs
getting wasted off liquor
from their parents' cupboards
If you wanna know how to get mass appeal
just buy your way into a record deal
Driving in my car
I turn the radio on
listenin' to the stations
with the latest songs
I need a fresh jam
so I can sing along
then I turn the radio off
cuz it don't turn me on
record execs
confusing wealth with talent
picking full figured women
and men that look gallant
half time show
behind the line of scrimmage
selected to portray
one nation's image
songs about love
reaching 90 percent
tragically ending
in lover's lament
cannon in D
is a hot chord progression
a popular hit
on Green Day's live sessions
all you need
is an acoustic guitar
your daddy's trust fund
and you're bound to go far
Driving in my car
I turn the radio on
listen' to the stations
with the latest songs
I need a fresh jam
so I can sing along
then I turn the radio off
cuz it don't turn me on

run my fingers
up your smooth neck
touch you
and tease you
with every fret
we can warm up
or just play hot
maybe someday
we can tie the knot
I can use my fingers
to get you scream
with each downward stroke
we share the same feeling
now we're really rockin'
and I'm startin' to sweat
drippin' on your body
making you all wet
make me do
what you want me to
music is for making love

She Shreds
03:09
|
|||
|
no more cause
for jealousy
I've got the axe
to fall a tree
rich kids
old guys
lucky stiffs
behold
the beholder
of master riffs
she shreds so fine
with dark
glimmering shine
so glad she's here
so glad she's mine
no wax can buff
that's tough enough
no spit can shine
this friend of mine
she shreds so fine
she shreds so fine
she shreds so fine

Obtuse Recluse
03:31
|
|||
|
you're messed up
from fighting
so you're living in hiding
that bruise on your body
from riding off the bike path
breaking in
to your treasures
better find a new stash
your girlfriend's making whoopee
with all of your best pals
but it doesn't seem to bug you
cuz you're just as shallow
yeah you're just as shallow
obtuse recluse
refusal is loose
no more taking abuse
from the pill
or the noose
in soulful benediction
you weigh your own afflictions
and bear them in the halo
of a tumultuous cloud
parade on through the hailstorm
why do you look so forlorn
you're gonna pray
that one of those golf ball sized ones
hits you in the head
then revelation
sweet revelation
you're gonna pray
that one of those golf ball sized ones
hits you in the head
obtuse recluse
refusal is loose
no more taking abuse
from the pill
or the noose

Space Witch

open your eyes
there's flashing lights
in the skies
conspiracies arise
and stalk through the night
no one believes
yet acts too surprised
when I flag down the pilot
and take a hit off a pipe
I'm not saying
I'm an intergalactic fanatic
I just wanna know
if there's life on your planet
now the landing is clear
and I'm feeling no fear
as the mothership glows
and lights up the field
electro-magnet static
raise the hair on my back
for a second or two
thought I was under attack
til she opened up
the double doors
and lured me inside
offered me a seat
so naturally
I obliged
before I could speak
I found my head in a vice
she said relax baby
I'll just need a slice
relax
I just need a strand of your DNA
relax
I just need a strand of your DNA
she hooked up an IV
and pumped me with chemicals
I could feel it flowin' through me
straight through my ventricles
then juice to my brain
and I feel empowered
no longer walk the streets
like a coward
but the taste in my mouth
still sour
so sour
so I take a spongue
and I scrub and scour
for hours
son of a bitch
*son of a bitch!
I've been abducted
*abducted
abducted by a space witch

carry the melody
from the G to the C
now feel the masterpiece
when the flour hits your feet
now feel the energy
when you move to the beat
now come on
you got it
he-ey
this one goes to the night
this one goes to the night
to the night
to the night
