20 mags, I must be trippin’
Do you think your Dad will miss ‘em
This is solid gold
I dig the centerfold…
Treefort
Half a rack I must be dreamin’
It’s a prize for all our scheming
Don’t care what they think
Let’s have another drink
Treefort
It’s no trouble
‘Cause we got our bubble
And there’s nothing in our way
If we get madder
We’ll pull the ladder
And the world will go away…
You’re the first I ever brought here
Don’t pay attention the porn and liquor
See, I made a vow
And girls are not allowed…
Treefort
Down the ladder down the driveway
Out in to the open highway
And it starts to rain
If I could just explain…

Sentimental
That’s what you are
Always taking things too far
Sentimental…
It’s fundamental
To who you are
So au revoir my north star
Sentimental…
There is nothing wrong
There is nothing right
There is nothing dark
There is nothing light
There is nothing real
And there’s nothing to
Hang your fears on…
It’s exponential
I can’t discern
The colors that your words turn
Sentimental
Time after time after time…
Who put the pair in the paradigm?
So let it be or let it rot
Who left the charmer in the chamber pot?
Sentimental
I know I’ve changed
It’s far too strong and too strange
Sentimental

Velvet Rope

Abandon Hope
It’s the velvet rope
What a pity!
You won’t get through
Unless your aim is true
And you’re pretty
The doorman stares
With a witchy glare like a laser
His eyeballs blaze
Through the velvet haze
Like a razor
The evening time is young
And the party’s just begun
Make the scene, it’s your last hope
It's time to skip the velvet rope...
You’ve just begun
When you see someone
From the City
She’s paid her dues
And her platform shoes
Are looking pretty
The chosen few
Have blown right through
Separating
The wheat from chaff
When they block your path
Caught you waiting
Your sidekick spews
On your brand new shoes
It’s amazing
You turn back home
‘Cause the night has shown
That your aging

Haunted
03:13
|
|||
When all my dreams no longer rate…
And all my schemes go down the grate
I try to drown my sorrows
But they swim…
You haunt my days and nighttime too
I fell in love in spite of you
It’s true…
It’s true….
And now the bar is closing down
And all my lonely questions sound
Like silly, broken-hearted dreams…
You haunt my days and nighttime too
I fell in love in spite of you
It’s true
It's true
There’s a special place
Where the lonely go
There’s a friendly space
That’s just inside the tavern door
Before the sun comes shining down
Before the world has spun around…
This lousy burg just dreams away…
You haunt my days and nightmares too
I fell in love in spite of you
It's true…
No one will do…
Only you…

Easy as PI
02:27
|

It’s as easy as pi
Blackberry, waxy cherry
Apple of my eye
It’s as easy as circumscribing
Rounding up or down to simplify
It’s as easy as 3.1415
It’s as easy as pi
Strawberry, frothy dairy
The pecans multiply
It’s as easy as understanding
That it’s never ending ’til we die
It’s as easy as 3.1415
Cook the numbers ceaselessly
I will show you constancy
It’s as easy as pi
Raspberry, sky blueberry
Scary sugar high
It’s as easy as window gazing
Digits blazing right before your eyes
It’s as easy as 3.1415

Let's Start Over Again
02:09
|
|||
They say that love is awful
They say that love is pain
I say we’ve just forgotten
So let’s start over again
They say that love is lousy
They say that love’s in vain
They say that love is rotten
So let’s start over again
Nothing comes of nothing, and naught will come of us
And everything winds down in time I trust…
Are we free from this entropy
Or is it all a bust?
They say our time has ended
They say we share the blame
But I’ve been apprehended
Let’s start over again
Let’s start over again

I'm So Happy
03:44
|
|||
There’s a fine line between pleasure and pain
That’s what you always say…
With all the pain that you’re causing me
I’m happy every day
The things are so sweet that you say to me
It makes me want to cry
When I’m in your company, I’m so happy I could die…
I’m so happy, I’m so goddamned happy, I’m so goddamned happy that I’m losing my mind
There’s a good chance as the years advance
That we might fall apart
Hence the physical evidence
You broke more than my heart
Don’t misconstrue my point of view,
But this ain’t my kind of fun
But you’re a one-man wrecking crew,
Gonna turn my tail and run
|

When love is measured out in megs
And drizzled out like bitter dregs
And broken souls are left to pine…
Somehow we always find a way
Perhaps a Facebook PDA
Will works its magic down the line
Absence makes the heart grow fonder
I don't want to live no longer
Absence makes the heart grow fonder
Yeah.
And when you're tired of my tales
A cache of multi-threaded mails
Arrives in just the nick of time.
And so we text across the miles
In every cake encrypted files
Lacking reason, lacking rhyme
There's no flash in lightning
There's no fire in thunder
There's no spark between us
And it makes me wonder...

Easy
02:18
|
|||
As genuinely stupefying as it may seem,
Sometimes takin' it easy, well...that's
The hardest thing of all...
You say that everything is easy
But you don’t want easy anymore
You say that everything is simple
But you don’t want simple
Knocking at your door
You borrow trouble each and every day
And that’s a mighty price to pay
You pace the hallway each and every night
And you know that just ain’t right…
You know you ought to take it easy
But the price of easy is so so dear
You find no piece of mind from easy
‘Cause the price of easy
Is a pool of tears…

The Call
03:17
|

(I give you) a decent job
(I give you) the cattle prod
(I give you) all the fruits of your labor
(I give you) dirty looks
(I give you) those bible books
(I give you) all the sins to savor
Ah ah ah ah drop it all!
Ah ah ah ah hear the call!
I’m calling you
(I give you) a working girl
(I give you) all the world
(I give you) pretty ports of call
(I give you) a leather suit
(I give you) a combat boot
(I give you) another rise and fall
(I give you) a decent wage
(I give you) a shiny cage
(I give you) all the money you require
(I give you) reactor core
(I give you) nuclear war
(I give you) the world consumed in fire

Nothing
02:33
|
|||
It’s so alarming,
That you’re so charming
There’s nothing to keep you by my side
You’re sentimental,
I’m just tangential
There’s nothing to keep you by my side…
Easy come, or easy go
it’s all the same
Is it just me or is it irony
I can't recall your name...
There’s no reaction
To my dissatisfaction
There’s nothing to keep you by my side
There’s nothing to keep you by my side
Be doobie-doobie- doo

A little song about the Big Five accounting firms . No, you heard right. Remember, nobody wants you when you're down and out.
