The Boat

There's water in the boat
got a sinking feeling might be no hope
you'll have to crawl before you float
there's water in the boat
I got a fan from the store
it's pretty cool but I still feel so toast
geese lost in smoke can't find the north
it's hotter in the boat
I called her from the boat
tried to get a date she said "you're a joke"
you'll never make it back to port
now I'm falling off the boat
There's water in the boat
got a sinking feeling might be no hope
Captain we've quite the heavy load
there's water in the boat

Don't Think

History was made of revolution
a vow of failure an end solution
a sacred oath, the constitution
current state is foul pollution
to think that they could bring a resolution
truth you found is that it's all delusion
a faithful flock still follows in conclusion
and you tell yourself
don't think about it
There's no more secrets and you never know
because you're only smart as your phone
narcissism is the new religion
I like I follow my own self interests
heard about it, so indifferent
with empathy very few are gifted
every tragedy gives us a new meme
there's no pain to see if you
don't think about it
don't think
You could leave
it would be so easy
when you're out of comfort the cold seems free
remember now nothing is
no lie no love no kill no kiss
pay it up there's a small price
make the worthless sacrifice
because history is made from revolution
a vow of failure, an end solution
sacred oath, a constitution
end result is foul pollution
but I think that we could bring some resolution
true we might just find our own delusion
I know you're so afraid but we must continue
so just tell yourself
don't think about it

Down at the mama rama
ex wives, widows, maybe even grandmas
got hitched, had kids like a son or daughter
back when you were probably just a little hotter
I catch you shopping at the grocery store
so refined but I bet you were a little whore
got a husband? Yeah i heard he's never home
gonna rob his peter to pay my paul
ma ma ma ma ma mama rama
I seen you eating down at Tijuanas
tight skirt and shirt the kind that make me wanna
drink rum, get dumb try to get up on it
all night and probably again in the morning
I'm numb when I catch that scent upon ya
choked out locked up as I hit nirvana
so call a sitter, ditch the kids let's play piranha
you'll love the way I get to chomping on ya
ma ma ma ma ma mama rama

I can fix it
might take a minute
sit back, relax, put your mind at ease
The day so long
keep holding on
I think you'll find I got everything you need
When did it get so loud?
move out the sound
just sitting round, I'm always here to please
The world's a boulder
upon your shoulders
babe roll it over oh the earth's a tiny thing
Grab hold of me, cause I can't sleep
the simple light is flickering
you know I know, that you think
of me when you're lonely
You talk in riddles
and speak in scrolls
these dead languages never get too old
A prism prison
wrapped up in clothes
ribbon existence with lovely overtones
Calgon fountain
take you away
and when you go, know I will always stay
The dead of night
a holy boat
another lover come to swim between your toes
Grab hold of me, cause I can't sleep
the simple light is flickering
you know I know, that you think
of me when you're lonely

Bread and Butter

bread and butter
beans and rice
break it off mama
gonna get me a slice
want your leg of lamb
way up past the knee
that lemon tart you bake
is sweeter than a summer breeze
get a pinch of this
and dont hang me out to dry
gonna toss the salad
and serve it on the side
eggs over hard
aint no flap-jack davey dan
rule number one
always grease the pan
oh so fresh
direct from the farm
you got me panting
howling for your charm
one leg in the east
and one leg in the west
we're trying to marinate
some good old chicken breast
bread and butter
rice and greens
show me something mama
i ain't seen in my dreams
it's in the kitchen
where we have our fun
sometimes you gotta break some eggs
to make some love

Wigwam
02:14
|

|
Breeze and blinds whisper code
window lull electric snow
seams are stitched over bone
folding floors through time's zone
Welcome to the wigwam
Walk the hall taste the maze
buffalo from pond to plate
pictures trapped in prison frames
it's our home on the range
Welcome to the wigwam
Pull the cord, hold the phone
knock the door, no one's home
Down the path through the gate
trees would weep electric rain
ducks upon the ancient lake
rope hang low a sacred swing
Welcome to the wigwam

Dirt Buried
03:48
|
|||
|
when you were young
you were so dumb
the grass was green
you were so clean
now you've grown wise
and have much to hide
with filth and greed
you're just dirt buried
you ask why?
you dont even try
why should I?
you mowed the lawn
and now it's gone
fields were serene
but now the dirt is all you see
you ask why?
you don't even try
why should I?
you said, you want it
but did you really need it?
you bought it, and brought it
to your shallow grave
you had a chance
we've had our last dance
only you keep score
enemies have more
you gone away
to somewhere vague
you swept the floor
where you find dirt there's always more
you ask why?
you don't even try
why should I?
