Slipping Away
05:07
|
|||
|
when we first brought you home you needed everything
we kept you safe and warm from any harm that the world might bring
we spent almost every night watching you fall asleep
your mother would read to you - it worked better than counting sheep
now you're almost all grown up
and i feel you slipping away
you don't hold my hand
when you cross the streeet
and baby thats ok
Soon you'll be out on your own
to stand on your own feet
sometimes i wish
that you still needed me
I remember when you were three we would go explore
on russian submarine or maybe a seaplane tour
we'd make funny videos or even write a song
and even then deep down i knew that it wouldn't be too long
before you're almost all grown up
and i feel you slipping away
you don't hold my hand
when you cross the street
and baby thats ok
Soon you'll head out on your own
to stand on your own feet
sometimes i wish
that you still needed me
you've grown up to a young lady right before my eyes
and someday you may have your own family yeah, I realize
It only seems like yesterday we were having fun at the beach
or i'd lift you on my shoulders to get something you couldn't reach
but now you're almost all grown up
and i feel you slipping away
you don't take my hand
when you cross the street
and baby thats ok
Soon you'll head out on your own
to stand on your own feet
sometimes i wish
that you still needed me

Kill It With Fire
04:34
|
|||
|
she's not of this world
she's not what she seems
she's the one woman
who lives in your dreams
the most beautiful creature
flawless skin just like cream
she came from Tbilisi
when she was just seventeen
night after night
she teases and taunts me
try as i might i can't fight
and oh how it haunts me
there's only one way
to be rid of this dark and burning desire
Gotta kill it with fire
Burn Burn Fire
Gotta kill it with fire
Burn Burn Fire
you think its all good that you fell
already you're done for
she's a pavlovian bell
you'd jump down a well
or walk on the sun for
she goes through lovers
like locusts and crops
she has so many others
she's gotta be stopped
night after night
she teases and taunts me
try as i might its her bite
oh how it haunts me
there's only one way
to be rid of this dark and burning desire
Gotta kill it with fire
Burn Burn Fire
Gotta kill it with fire
Burn Burn Fire
Since I first i fell
I've lived a hell
of her own wicked design
now i can see i've got to break free
or lose the rest of my mind
she is the Bane
that i went insane for
now she will finally see
what I carry her flame for
I bid a final farewell
go to hell
and take all of your ire
cuz i killed you with fire
Burn Burn Fire
i killed you with fire
Burn Burn Fire

I Forgive You
03:42
|
|||
|
i've heard some whispers
talking out of school
everyones saying
you run around playing
betraying me breaking the golden rule
you are so clever
you are so smart
your epic conceit
said your fait accompli
would be far more discreet
and keep me in the dark
I'm not angry
i'm not upset
when a heart is foolish
that is what it gets
ill be just fine
you can surely bet
BABY I FORGIVE YOU
BUT I CAN'T FORGET
Love made me crazy
I didn't see the clues
coming in at all hours
the long steamy showers
the ivory towers you built as a ruse
you became distant
you became cold
on every occasion
your wicked liaisons
became much more brazen
and so very bold
I'm not angry
i'm not upset
when a heart is foolish
that is what it gets
ill be just fine
you can surely bet
BABY I FORGIVE YOU
BUT I CAN'T FORGET
BRIDGE
i gave you all my love and gave you all my trust
now i see what you think of us
let me pour a final champagne toast
heres to you and me and what we both want the most.
now as you leave me
never to darken my door
i have a confession
about an obsession
that i never mentioned to you before
i keep a garden
of deadly delights
forgive my stalling
but now you're befallen
the priest i'll be calling
for your last rites
I'm not angry
i'm not upset
but when you fool a killer
this is what you get
ill be just fine
you can surely bet
BABY I FORGIVE YOU
BUT I CAN'T FORGET

I Don't Care
03:51
|

|
you're stepping to me
like you've something to say
you better back the fuck up
because i just don't play
i'm full of dynamite maybe tnt
you better think twice before you fuck with me
you better call your wife
tell your kids goodbye
reflect back on your life
'cause you're about to die
I don't care
that you just another working stiff
who is trying to make ends meet
I don't care that you got yourself a wife and kids
you're still gonna get your ass beat
I don't care that you had yourself a couple drinks
and your sorry for the things you said
i don't care you got stuff to live for
and you won't care either when you're dead
after they take your cold body away
i'm gonna head right over to your place
i'm gonna introduce myself to all of your kids
so they can look and see your wife's face
then ill douse them all in gasoline
then set them aflame
tell them that its all your fault
they'll die cursing your name
don't you dare tell me
who you think i should be
don't you try to scare me
with sitcoms on TV

Better Than
02:03
|
|||
|
Again and again i seem to offend
the ones that I hold dear
my circle of friends it seems to trend
toward smaller every year
I don't mean to be off kilter
but i got no social filter
what else can i do
when i think i'm better than you
try to make my amends and pretend
that i'm not an awful prick
but you condescend til the bitter end
and say I'm the one who's sick
i'm just trying to be helpful
teach you a thing or two
its not 'cause i really give a damn
its just I'm better than you
so the crazy thoughts in my head
become witty things that I've said
you can scream till you turn red
but you can't argue the truth
so rather than digress
just acquiesce
and see my point of view
my goals to educate
not exacerbate
because i'm better than you

American Dream
03:01
|
|||
|
i grew up in a typical town
in a two bedroom rambler
a little run down
smack dab in the middle
of an average street
with cookie cutter neighbors
wash, rinse and repeat
our next door neighbor
was an epic hottie
every day she'd by the pool
doing Pilates
I used to mow their lawns kept them pristine
on an endless rolling sea of green
i was just a boy barely seventeen
chasing the american dream
she had a lot of really cute friends
they'd drop the top and then they
hop into her mercedes benz
they sit and talk watch me mowing her lawn
sometimes they'd have me spreading coconut oil on
they liked to tease me
'cause i had no girlfriend
they made me feel real bad
my love life had been condemned
I used to mow their lawns kept them pristine
on an endless rolling sea of green
she took my hand when I turned eighteen
showed me the american dream
soccer moms leading secret lives
their husbands thought they bought stepford wives
the truth would come as some surprise
i was loving the american dream
when i think
about those nights
that crazy love
under the moonlight
it must be
at least to me
the happiest time of my life
the other day took my kids to the park
when they asked me I grew up so i turned on a lark
started navigating to the far end of town
the perfect lawns where gone they were dried up and brown
we used to try so hard to kept up with the jones
you cant tell now if he's loaded but the gun that he owns is
I mowed their lawns kept them pristine
on an endless rolling sea of green
she made me a man when I turned eighteen
I was loving the american dream
soccer moms leading secret lives
their husbands thought they had stepford wives
the truth would come as some surprise
i was loving the american dream
the things we did were almost obscene
i cant believe it happened to me
like the letters to a girlie magazine

Liar
03:55
|
|||
|
i hear you talking but i'm tired of you
nothing you say is even remotely true
you make up reasons why you are late
exaggerating how you did on a date
your gift for fiction
has become a real affliction
and its really bumming me out
you must be high
if you thought i would buy
the story that your selling
its beyond any doubt
You're a liar
pants on fire
and Im so tied
of you being a liar
is there a reason that seems to explain
what is different inside of your brain
was it a trauma way back in your youth
that keeps you from ever telling the truth
do I have to mention
your constant obfuscation
is really getting me down
i take objection with all of your deception
its no real big secret its all over town
CHORUS
you tell me that its raining
when theres blue skies overhead
you swear it over your mother's grave
even though she ain't dead
Now i'm no angel i've lied in the past
but you're a master in your own class
a run for office might be the best plan
lie all you want and get cash in hand
with your ambition you should be a politician
where perjury's a daily thing
if you tell a whopper nobody's gonna call a copper
it wont be long before they crown you king

Life Is Love
03:54
|
|||
|
A life without love isn't living
and love has no life without giving
if you don't gamble you're likely to ramble
till one day your old and alone
some say that love is elusive
they are just being allusive
what really guides them
is the fear deep inside them
the cowards all end up alone
but from my past behavior
i wasn't much braver
I kept my heart locked up airtight
she was my savior
returned love that i gave her
and finally let me see the light
so if you feel your heart is hurting
don't quit and give up on your searching
trade fear, pain and shyness for hope, love, and kindness
and you shall not live life alone
but from my past behavior
i wasn't much braver
I kept my heart locked up airtight
she was my savior
returned love that i gave her
and finally let me see the light
so if you feel your heart is hurting
don't quit and give up on your searching
trade fear, pain and shyness for hope, love, and kindness
and you shall not live life alone
trade fear, pain and shyness for hope, love, and kindness
and you shall not live life alone
trade fear, pain and shyness for hope, love, and kindness
and you shall not live life alone

Get Naked
02:53
|
|||
|
you make me hold your bag
when we go out shopping
you scold me and you nag
there's no sign of stopping
i don't know why you wanna break me down
or why treat me like I'm your clown
when my tempers' about to peak
I open my mouth to speak
you get naked
and everything is fine
the thought of murder
just leaves my mind
when you're naked
Im A-OK
i just wish there was a better way
to get you naked
Almost asleep in our bed
that's when you ask about things I said
at a party six months ago
i try to tell you that I just don't know
for heaven sakes its just not right
this is when you want to pick a fight
they're gonna have to call a cop
but right before i blow my top
you get naked
and everything is fine
don't get much sleep
but I don't mind
when you're naked
Im A-OK
i just wish there was a better way
to get you naked
Oh baby you know look so very cute
when you're showing off your birthday suit
standing bare you're just like anesthesia
and then I suffer from case of boob-induced amnesia
You got naked
when you wrecked my car
just before i get pushed too far
you get naked
when I'm upset
why was I mad?
I forget.
when you're naked
everything is fine
the thought of murder
just leaves my mind
when you're naked
Im A-OK
i just wish there was a better way
to keep you naked

when it comes to knowledge I am anything but frugal
I'm the cat they used to call before there was aGoogle
Here he comes

You're goddamn right
I always come correct every day and every night.

Just Another Day
04:36
|

|
Well, its just another day
and he's trying to make his way
in a world that hate him
belittles and berates him
even though he is fed up
he tries to keep his head up
but it ain't easy
well its just another day
and we all have parts to play
some folks live their aspirations
others struggle with frustration
folks used to be more humble
would help you if you stumbled
but no one sees him
Please understand
woman or man
we're all the same
we're just human beings
we play our hand
the best we can
he won't give up
while he is still breathing
its just another day
its just another day
i truly hope and pray
that he finds a way
to make it though for another day
even though cold and raining
you wont hear him complaining
he could catch pneumonia
still you act like someone phoned 'ya
to avoid making eye contact
throw out the social contract
its too easy
Please understand
woman or man
we're all the same
we're all human beings
we play our hand
the best we can
he won't give up
while he's still breathing
its just another day
its just another day
i truly hope and pray
that we can find a way
to make it though for another day
he worked hard each and every day
only to have his lifeblood sucked away
then the bank told him he's got no place to stay
turns out the american dream wasn't in his D-N-A Hey hey!
its rough living on the street
but he won't accept defeat
though his life ain't panned out
you won't see him take a handout
daily degradation
provides the motivation
to do better
Please understand
woman or man
we're all the same
we're all human beings
we play our hand
the best we can
he won't give up
while his heart's still beating
its just another day
its just another day
i truly hope and pray
that he makes it though for another day

joseph died in battle
fighting for a noble cause
johnny assumed his mantle
to make sense of his loss
he should have gone much farther
not pay for sins made by his father
half past twelve central standard time
on a clear november day
CHORUS
camelot came crashing down
our innocence smashed to the ground
and though we've searched
we haven't found
an heir who dares to wear the crown
he rose to lead this mighty nation
"asking not" struck such a nerve
gave hope to a generation
many volunteered to serve
he spoke of living free from fear
the promise of a new frontier
suddenly it disappeared
on a clear november day
CHORUS
camelot came crashing down
our innocence smashed to the ground
and though we've searched
we haven't found
an heir who dares to wear the crown
BRIDGE
Jacqueline left all alone
to raise her children on her own
always wearing her brave face
the epitome of style and grace
robert and poor little john
tried in vain to carry on
in the footsteps of the great
but they met a tragic fate
optimistic aspirations
became fear and desperation
it all leads back to half past twelve
on a clear November day

ask for dinner in paris
ill take you there
wrap me 'round your finger
i don't care
there isn't anything no anything I wouldn't
do for you
but you turn your back on me
nothing new
As you walk away
what am I supposed to say
as you walk away
I want to cry
you say that your love for me is true and strong
but when i need you most you're never there
so it seems that you were wrong
i want to believe everything you say
how I try, i try but every time you turn away I die inside
As you walk away
what am I supposed to say
as you walk away
I want to cry
give me love
ou bring me up
you take me up
you raise me up
then you tear me down
ou bring me up
you take me up
you raise me up
then you tear me down
As you walk away
what am I supposed to say
as you walk away
I want to cry
you try to tell me things can only get better
you try to tell me broken hearts will mend
but you can put the pieces back together
and you can't live with them apart
and its hurts because i thought you were my friend
As you walk away
what am I supposed to say
as you walk away
I want to cry

I know this girl - a sexed out freak
She needs it twenty times a week
To get that thrill down in her core
She needs nubile school girls by the score
She don't turn em out
Or tie them up
or pin them to the wall
she likes
jailbait catholic girls
when they play with balls
she phoned me up the other night
and said that she
was jonesing for her fix
She said that we
should meet at half past eight
and we could have some kicks
She took my hand
and sat me down
Inside a massive hall
Full of jailbait catholic girls
Playing with some balls
i could not believe my eyes
they handled balls as advertised
Just when I had seen it all
They used team work with those balls
She don't turn em out
Or tie them up
or pin them to the wall
she likes
jailbait catholic girls
when they play with balls

Look At Me
01:31
|

|
you try to tell your mom you're hurting
but she's too busy flirting
with the man who sell bananas at the store
i don't have to mention
if she gave you some attention
you wouldn't be down there screaming on the floor
LOOK AT ME is all your saying
LOOK AT ME you're hope and praying
that they'll finally notice that you're there
LOOK AT ME with all your actions
LOOK AT ME no reaction
Its almost like your mom and dad don't care
you want to tell your dad you love him
that you were thinking of him
so you made a card with own two hands
but since he been laid off and lost big on the the play offs
his yelling but you just can't understand
LOOK AT ME you beg your daddy
LOOK AT ME are you a fatty
if you lost some weight maybe he'd see
LOOK AT ME or is the answer
LOOK AT ME work as a dancer
at least his friends would come to LOOK AT ME
after all
it is not a crime
to want to have some mommy daddy time
unless of course your parents goal
is to kick you out the house and have you working on the pole
LOOK AT ME your nails you're gnawing
LOOK AT ME you start withdrawing
maybe if you took a bunch of pills
LOOK AT ME for help you're crying
LOOK AT ME inside you're dying
if they don't look now they never will

Wish You Were Here

I should be there kissing you
not in this chair missing you
a night of solitaire won't do
Wish you were here
room looking out on paradise.
the water's fine the beach is nice
a single postcard's so concise
Wish you were here
one day the phone rang right out the blue
you won a cozy getaway just for two
deluxe hotel and first class airfare too
this holiday was overdue
romantic walks along the sand
the faint sound of a steel drum band
its almost more than I can stand
wish you were here
one day the phone rang right out the blue
you won a cozy getaway just for two
thats when you confessed
that we two were through
you hopped a plane with someone new
so while you sunbathe with your brand new beau
outside my door its eight below
the forecast calls for ice and snow
Wish you were here
Wish you were here
and I was there

you cant deny it 'cause i saw it with my own eyes
i know where you have been now you're in for a surprise
'cause i'm not fooling around
you set me up and you kicked me down
i can't believe what I found
this time baby i'm not fooling around
all the things you said
all you put me through
and if you do it again
ill come looking for you
I've got my mind made up
I've got my feet on the ground
this time baby i'm not fooling around.
I don't care what you do
and I don't care what you say
I fell in love with you
and you threw it all away
'
cause i'm not fooling around
you set me up and you kicked me down
i can't believe what I found
this time baby i'm not fooling around
all the things you said
all you put me through
and if you do it again
ill come looking for you
I've got my mind made up
I've got my feet on the ground
this time baby i'm not fooling around.
ooh it hurts to see how you could find it so easy to let go
tell me what could hurt you deep inside to make you sell your soul
why would you believe that you could lie so I would never know
i never thought that I could be so blind but how i loved you so
cause i'm not fooling around
you set me up and you kicked me down
i can't believe what I found
this time baby i'm not fooling around
all the things you said
all you put me through
and if you do it again
ill come looking for you
I've got my mind made up
I've got my feet on the ground
this time baby i'm not fooling around.

the right thing to sa y
to make me feel fearless
and pretend that im brave
When i think about
all that we've been through

You are the purest form of everything
You're not the wedding bells
You are the ring
But now and again
So here we are
sharing a kiss
my wildest dreams

better than this
give me your hand
put your lips close to mine
we'll stop time for a moment
completely sublime
and i know you feel the same way too

CHIMO:
Hey kids! Have you ever felt sad?
AUDIENCE:
Yeah!
Have you ever been so terribly sad. you just know deep in your heart its never ever gonna get better?
you just want the pain to stop, forever?
Well if you've felt that way, you may be on to something. Sometimes its best to just cut your losses… well. not just your losses. I'll explain
(singing)
your feelings are hurting
you know for certain
that your life has seen its better days
so you may be flirting
with the final curtain
try this method its sure to amaze
go down the road not across the street
if its old St Peter that you aim to meet
if you're dead set on cutting up your wrists
go down the road I insist
Little Girl:
spoken
How is walking down the road gonna get rid of my blues?
Chimo:
spoken
It's not a REAL road! Here I'll explain
(singing)
the road runs from your elbow to your hand
and its the fastest way to execute your plan
Across the street is just a cry for help
and God only help those who help themselves
so go down the road not across the street
if its old St Peter that you aim to meet
if you're dead set on cutting up your own wrists
go down the road I insist
Get your bath drawn piping hot
take an aspirin so your blood won't ever clot
get out the razor blades that you just bought
then down the road with everything you got
RIght Kids!?
go down the road not across the street
if its old St Peter that you aim to meet
if you're dead set on cutting up your own wrists
go down the road I insist

I drive around the city
in my special custom van
searching for the kiddies who
need a helping hand
I scoop up all the lonely boys
and the lonely girls
bring them to a magic place
my special little world
UNCLE CHIMOS SECRET BASEMENT
the funnest of all places
we'll meet lots of new friends
and some old familiar places
UNCLE CHIMOS SECRET BASEMENT
we dance, and play and sing
then you wake up in your bed
and can't recall a thing

Secret Friend

|

SPOKEN: Hey Kids! who can keep a secret? would you like to be my special friend?
Will you be my secret friend
will you be my secret buddy buddy
loyal to the end
not tell anybody body
we can play all day
sit around drinking Budweiser
or a cabernet
fortified with tranquilizer
don't you tell a soul
or else your head will roll
if you do not behave
you'll end up in a shallow grave
say you'll be my chum
hang out and have lots of laughs
lets drink a pint of rum
then take some silly photographs
SPOKEN: TICKLE FIGHT
I'M TICKLISH TOO!
cross your heart and hope to die
stick a needle in your eye
never tell a lie
unless your mom and dad are asking
keep our secret mum
and the fun won't ever end
you're my number one
you're my special secret friend

Strangers
01:09

for the Boys and girls i have a treat
the best-est candy you can eat
if you want some just repeat
strangers have the best candy
find the candy game's begun
I've got ten pockets but in one
I've hidden candy just for fun
strangers have the best candy
because strangers are just future friends that you haven't met
and if your new friends gives you sweets thats the best-est yet
so when mommy gets real mad
or you're yelled at by your dad
theres no need for feeling sad
Strangers have the best candy

Frantic
03:24

cant catch my breath
or get my bearings
we’re worked to death
but long past caring
we're moving too fast
cant wrap my head
'round this automation
do more with less
it’s cerebral starvation
how long can we last?
CHORUS
FRANTIC running around in circles
FRANTIC we've mechanized our souls
FRANTIC our minds used to be so fertile
FRANTIC our hubris will take its toll
we're messing with
mother nature
our blind need for progress
is leaving deep scars
she wont forget
Hacking the code
of her perfect program
forsake the future
for a better mousestrap
we will regret
CHORUS
cant take a breath
the whole world is burning
starved half to death
for some corporate earnings
worshiping greed
ignorant bliss
rules the ivory tower
in the abyss
of wealth and power
the drive to succeed
CHORUS
CHORUS

Happy Mother's Day
01:20

well mother dear
another year
hastily has passed
when thinking what to buy?
nothing caught my eye
you want a gift that lasts
now I often joke and kid around
i am quite the jester
but i don't make light that moneys tight
and your gift funds have been sequestered
you could call me cheap that wouldn't be wrong
your present this year is this here song
no evening out or banging the gong
just this lousy song
no baubles or bangles or gold doubloons
a trip to athens to see the ruins
nary a book by rod mckuen
all you get is this here tune
i suppose you could be flattered
or mildly impressed
they say its the thought is all that matters
they need to give that a rest
so nix on new apparel
or front row tickets to some hipster play
no serving tongs
or skimpy thong
much to your dismay
on the bright side it wont be too long
until next mothers day day

Depressed
04:20

i wanna take some razor blades
and open up my veins
i want to take off my seat belt and
swerve in to oncoming lanes
i wanna bathe in bacon
and throw myself to the rabid hounds
I wanna eat a 12 gauge
and then squeeze off a couple of rounds
'cause i'm depressed
so depressed
cant you guess that i'm a mess
I've been assessed
results suggest
That I'm depressed
so depressed
wanna step off a ladder
with a rope tied around my neck
take some smack and strychnine
find a vein and then inject
take an old katana
and commit some Seppuku
put my head in a plastic bag
until my skin turns blue
'cause i'm depressed
so depressed
cant you guess that i'm a mess
I've been assessed
results suggest
That I'm depressed
so depressed
I'm depressed
so depressed
the way i feel ain't predicated
on the need to be medicated
my lust for life has long been sated
so living on seems overrated yeah
Whoa Whoa Whoa Whoa
I wanna jump off a building
and splatter on the ground below
I wanna eat plutonium
until my liver glows
i want to swim in the ocean
amid a school of great white sharks
stick my tongue inside a socket 'til
my skull explodes in brilliant sparks
'cause i'm depressed
so depressed
cant you guess that i'm a mess
I've been assessed
results suggest
that I'm depressed
I'm so depressed
cause i'm depressed
so depressed
cant you guess that i'm a mess
I've been assessed

that I'm depressed

Tease
04:18
|

the way she walks into a room
makes almost any guy assume
thats she's easy
as if "Please me"
was written on her face
but as a rule of thumb
she is as clever as they come
so light and breezy
flirting discreetly
but now you're caught theres no escape
SHES A TEASE
she'll become your fantasy
can't see the forest for the trees
blinded by your own temptation
Its guaranteed
She'll use your primal needs
to drop you to your knees
a victim of your own frustration
she's like a coffee table book
you fancy 'cause you look of her cover
you'll discover she is nothing as she seems
she'll give you all the signs
convince you that she has designs to be your lover
be careful brother
she will haunt you in your dreams
SHES A TEASE
she'll become your fantasy
can't see the forest for the trees
blinded by your own temptation
Its guaranteed
She'll use your primal needs
to drop you to your knees
a victim of your own frustration
She can break any heart without even trying
seeing grown men crying
fills her up with pure delight
a smile as bright as the sun
it can be rather blinding
and soon you'll will be finding
there's no place you can hide hide
SHES A TEASE
she'll become your fantasy
can't see the forest for the trees
blinded by your own temptation
Its guaranteed
She'll use your primal needs
to drop you to your knees
a victim of your own frustration

Superman
04:47

A leap of faith had me
jumping off this building
and now the sidewalk's
rushing up as if to say hello
it seems a wasted effort
to spread out my arms and legs
in hopes of slowing down my meeting
with the pavement down below
I never learned how to fly
it wont be long before i die
my life is flashing 'fore my eyes
and heres the stupid reason why
Superman's a dick
with a messed up sense of humor
ha ha ha ha
Supermans's a dick
I hope he gets a kryptonite tumor
my increase in velocity
is terminal to me
and its getting even faster
thanks to mr gravity
I try to steer away so I don't
crush humanity
am i being altruistic
or is it just my vanity
I never learned how to fly
it wont be long before i die
my life is flashing 'fore my eyes
and heres the stupid reason why
Superman's a dick
with a messed up sense of humor
ha ha ha ha
Supermans's a dick
I hope he gets a kryptonite tumor
my only big regret
is taking that stupid bet
and updraft coming from below
would slow me down
just like a big ol feather
I never learned how to fly
it wont be long before i die
my life is flashing 'fore my eyes
and heres the stupid reason why
Superman's a dick
with a messed up sense of humor
ha ha ha ha
Supermans's a dick
I hope he gets a kryptonite tumor

Better Man

knowing you're crying
makes me feel like dying
you mean the very most to me
I missed the small hints
a growing distance
forming between you and me
as i sit here hoping that its not too late
to tell you that I think you're really great
I hope you understand you make me want to be a better man
I should be smarter, be a lot farther down the road to life's success
ill try much harder to get things started i promise baby i will do my very best
You know I'll never lie to you
no matter what we may go through
i'll do what I can to make myself into a better man
s hard sometimes when you think all your luck has turned bad
makes you take for granted all the wonderful things you had
have words we've spoken
left us too broken
to mend the trouble between you and I
its so upsetting i caused your fretting
i feel so bad i want to die
but i gotta keep on living
to make sure you're given
all the love that I can
you will see I'm gonna be a better man
you will see I'm gonna be a better man
you will see I'm gonna be a better man

High Score
03:53

i remember saturdays was the day
thats when we would head to the arcade
from dawn dusk till we'd pay to play
blowing all our money
a pocket full of Washingtons
two rolls felt like it weighed a ton
that would pay for a whole day of fun
looking back its funny
reflexes so quick
learn all the new tricks
did I have what it takes
to beat this level
I'd deal with the devil
got to keep focused
cant make one mistake
Entering your initials
is like a sacred ritual
just need a few points more
until i get the high score
you put in your three letters
thats says there's one on better
anyone becomes a star
when you rock the high score
video game creations
decades before play station
before nintendo wii
or xbox technology
we played a game called pong
and space invaders bombed
you got your quarters worth
trying to save the Earth
side scrolling shooters
eight bit computers
the way a joystick fit your palm
a real contender
playing defender
don't go to hyperspace
after dropping smart bombs
Entering your initials
is like a sacred ritual
just need a few points more
until i get the high score
you put in your three letters
thats says there's one on better
anyone becomes a star
when you rock the high score
every couple weeks or so we would find
a brand new game that would blow our mind
blasting asteroids in outer space
or jumping over barrels at some monkey's place
faster computers
first person shooters
graphics all rendered in HD
look how far we've
come since atari
we'd blast away
one button is all we need
Entering your initials
is like a sacred ritual
just need a few points more
until i get the high score
you put in your three letters
thats says there's one on better
anyone becomes a star
when you rock the high score

The Things I Do

You are as lovely as a summer breeze
it makes me want to kick you in the knees
then drive a spike right through your cheek
punch your throat till you cant speak
these are all the things i do for love
you are bright and cheery as a sunny sky
I want to cut you open like a turkey pie
then fill the wound up with rock salt
tell you its my parents fault
But these are all the things i do for love
Ill break each bone by striking them with a lead pipe
and giggle at your shrieks of agony
ill then poke your skin until looks just right
all black and blue will fill me up with glee
you think that i'm crazy or that i am mean
just because I filled your stomach with gasoline
ill doused your hair in pine tar and set you all aflame
these are all the things i do for love
ill pour a bunch of acid on to all your limbs
and giggle as you suffer from the burns
then toss you in a river where piranhas swim
and smile as each one of them takes turns
at eating the flesh off your bones bite by bite
for me that would be a dream come true
or if maggots hatched inside your chest
i'd know i was truly blessed
all your friends would be impressed
how well you did under duress
these are all the things i do for love

IF you wanna fly

and shout it "you so funky"
i don't know why
my beat will beat will get you high
so don't be shy and shout it "you so funky"
well looky looky looky looky looky I'm back
whipping out some rhymes from my funky rhyme sack
breaking off a piece for the twenty thirteen
I'm as smooth as al green polished to a fine sheen
i'm a pudgy-pasty rapper from berg of seattle
if you're looking for a battle you'll be slaughtered like cattle
i gotta b uck wild free style that is so fresh
gonna burn this mother down just like david koresh
IF you wanna fly

throw your hands up to the sky
and shout it "you so funky"
i don't know why
my beat will beat will get you high
so don't be shy and shout it "you so funky"
heating hipsters on the grill like a tasty old steak
spitting out some lyrics that are sweeter than cake
you say you got something special that you wanna show me?
you cut your own hair with your very own flow-bee
do me like kobe? you don't even know me
i'm like obi kenobi rocking some moby
so listen hoss i'm the boss just like tony danza
here's another stanza to grow on ya like just like cancer
IF you wanna fly
just like this guy
throw your hands up to the sky
and shout it "you so funky"
i don't know why
my beat will beat will get you high
so don't be shy and shout it "you so funky"
perfection so close that you can almost feel it
my flow is so sweet suckers always try to steal it
like the little brown fox jumped right over that dog
i'm the big ol boss hog while you are stuck in a fog
i'm a beacon when i'm speaking and ill give you my light and still win any fight cause my rhymes are so tight
i'm so dope on the mic i'm like a snake when i strike
i got the kinda syntax that the girlies all like,
IF you wanna fly
just like this guy
throw your hands up to the sky
and shout it "you so funky"
i don't know why
my beat will beat will get you high
so don't be shy and shout it "you so funky"

Why I am I grinning?
twirling and spinning
like a young boy in school
its because of a someone
who's lovely and then some
its the one and only you.
when life was distressing, down right depressing
who came to my rescue?
the wonderful person of whom I'm conversing
its one and only you
there are plenty fish in the sea
its a view point with which i agree
but even though those fish I can see
you're the single solitary one for me
i'm so euphoric
that its meteoric
ill credit where credit is due
my wishes all granted who's got me enchanted
its the one and only you
