Treefort 03:00
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 03:34
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 03:49
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

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
9.
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... credits

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… credits

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 credits

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

The Big Five 01:15
A little song about the Big Five accounting firms . No, you heard right. Remember, nobody wants you when you're down and out.
