The old extreme sits Pale and molds now for the Millionth time Wilma's rainbow of peaceful colors The richest junk dealer @SONG: I Know Water thin The wall is in She's chlorine clean and portion fed Feed the dog Slop the hog Shine the Baptist and debark the log It's all right, I know You're the only one who can Show us at all Get it done Circulate What I hear, fear motivates So intense So sensitive In your head where fashion lives It's all right, I know You're the only one who can Show us at all It's ok, I know You're mean and hard and bored It's always something @SONG: Biscuits For Smut Served up in the backyard Cooked too long on high Flying out the window Even dogs have passed them by Didn't know she was tied up Better fed than forced Time to meet the protagonist, boy He never showed remorse Choking on the one thing His tongue had gotten too fat A barely walking dead man Seemed to know where he was at Drive himself to the airport Getting out of here Overworking the small town The law couldn't get too near Come on smut You might've stayed @SONG: Milquetoast Tell me if you think it's all right I'll give in to what you know I don't see the habits that Become me I've saved up my useless thoughts Well means, it works i'm on your side I said that? Well so I lied Remember I tried not to be wary This failed me, once too much Unrecognized Well preserved Don't forget, what you heard @SONG: Tic The tic begins where's the manned end? The climate change will never get in Silent and strong and prepossessed You never need to make your own mess Weasel to me in charming to some Loathsome and glib Habits like self-love Wearing slim fast you carve your niche Lean smug back and work your pitch And all the way i'm gone, no Demon race to find You paint it up and know that Any face can lie Affect my greatest style, what Suits me best of all Keep my pocket filled, lean right and Fall @SONG: Rollo Sorry for myself, I've lost my Kharmic wealth but I can take from you with antiseptic stealth I'll dig my own grave, get my Front yard paved There's always a penny earned Another dollar saved What lies ahead I always my point, soak Bread in dirty oil "Right's" too strong a word The neighborhood's been spoiled but I know what I know, stuck that Inner glow I don't have time to learn I said I know what I know I'm wrong, I won't admit it I won't get it @SONG: Street Crab First I'll panic quick and listen To advice Agree to anything and try to be Too nice Then my skin flakes, another allergy I'm not making sense, just Ignore me Thirst I had at last Run the water Shut my mouth and run past What's the matter? Street crabs buy it fast Infect the water Safe and sound like the perfect food Ice the beer, it's east to feel good What was that you said? I thought I heard my name but Every street crab will push the Vowels the same Thist I had at last Run the water Shut my mouth and run past What's the matter? Street crabs buy in fast Infect the water @SONG: Clean Spread you mind the fish feed Don't ignore my speech my Heart blees Make yourself the perfect butt Some passing thought, I don't know what Don't remind me, I'll fake What I need to Get back in case the door swings and Don't forget to hide Your mood rings Fit to tie I thought I knew good company I'd like to be you You're right behind me and Mouth all I read Don't remind me, I'll fake What I need You're right behind me and Mouth all I read @SONG: Vaccination Petty news, it's only your bad ear It might be worth it To watch what you hear Feeling great now you expand your view You can't forget, somebody hates you Justify my worst behaviour Search in blood-lines Exchange a favor Humble goals Bad nutrition Rely on me There's one condition Humble goals Bad nutrition Rely on me There's one condition Imitated So adored The wind picks up My suit gets torn @SONG: Speechless Indecisive and deaf or dumb Tongue-dried in the sun Nervous speech and your mental health Drunk on every detail Loosened up from the moral slide as though There's nothing to hide It corresponds with your sevret view and Never weighs upon you I'd blame someone but I've got you Live everyday that bores me Sleep fine at night and Wake up to my early speechless morning It works like crime, asjust your view Waste your time improving She's cut so well and lifelike too You'll bleed to death before me @SONG: The Silver Hawaiian Land sakes alive, the steak's alive Give him a hug and he drinks and He drives Why the long face Mr. Ed? It's The hour of darkness and The hour of dread Hey Betty Find 'em and grim 'em and Never remind 'em Biscuits and jam and you're Eating your pie too. Minor legends. And you're right too Give 'em a hug @SONG: Overrated Today's another day you won't deny that It came so slow you don't remember When you got so fat Up above the bathroom mirror the light'll Make you weak but It's that pacifying lie that grows now Every week And still you hate it, it's overrated I'll never forget things like, "Who did what?" Cover old ground and drag What's useless up I won't feel guilty about being late again There's no one to answer to and No one to hate @SONG: Sam Hell Sam invents the you you want to see Don't believe in predestiny Bacon you never need to bring home Sam Hell gets you redeemed By grace alone Sam's the mayor of First Avenue Nothing goes on the he doesn't want to A wife that wears his 'in' stocking hat She's known for making good Gravy and cat Heart attack Time to eat and pay Cellulite won't wash away You never knew if you'd been dead or Just old Sam Hell never gets that cold.
