Mr. Squintz's Wild Ride
03:34
|
|||
|
Buckled up, I'm along for the ride
Eyes wide
Mr. Squintz is behind the wheel
I hope he keeps an even keel
Such a klutz, but a good friend of mine
Wise guy
Mr. Squintz sure knows a good time
Things have started to appear
Since you've been here
All these apparitions got me trippin'
Oh dear
Shuffled up, he breaks on a dime
Eyes wide
Mr. Squintz drives outside the lines
He's still alive and breathing fine
Doubled up, I'm trying to align
Decide
I'm convinced I don't need a guide
Things have started to appear
Since you've been here
All these apparitions got me trippin'
Oh dear
Brings me to a new frontier
Removes my fear
And of my own volition
I'm wishin' to steer

Keepsake
03:41
|
|||
|
It seems to be most often
Hidden in the top drawer
Beneath all the cotton
Something to adore
I keep it just so I know that it's there
So I can sleep sound at night
Something I can hold
Numbin' in the cold
You handle it with caution
Some memories are torn
A book you won't be swappin'
Leathery and worn
I keep it just so I know that it's there
So I can sleep sound at night
Something I can hold
Numbin' in the cold

Bats in the Belfry
03:41
|

Take a deep breath
Try it on for size
Always something wrong
Detecting lies
Just a side effect
Of way too much thought
Your mind needs rest
From the lows and highs
Somewhere you belong
An image is drawn
You never learn a thing
From what I do for you
At risk of ringing false
Alert people in halls
That's when you come to me
Bats in the belfry
Take a deep breath
Your mind needs rest
What'd you expect?
That I'm on your side?
Well of course I am
But you're incorrect
Am I to abide?
You don't give a damn
The image is gone
You never learn a thing
From what I do for you
At risk of ringing false
Alert people in halls
That's when you come to me
Bats in the belfry

Fixing Up the Gears
04:05
|
|||
|
And all the time that you spend
Fiixing up the Gears
And all the space that you rent
Withering in tears
It's from my eyes
and followed down, down, down
And all the minds you befriend
Mixing up the years
And call the pace that you went
Bringing up the rear
It's from my eyes
and followed down, down, down

La La Land
02:55
|
|||
|
Oh goodness gracious
I'm losing patience
A landscape spacious
And stranger awaits us
Almost in my reach
In the palm of my hands
Ooo La-La Land
This place is famous
For being shameless
Going to the beach
(chorus)
No one is anxious
About when the quake hits
Almost in my reach

Unfinished Business
04:06
|
|||
|
You caught me
You could say it's midstream
I'm in the middle of the street
Guessing by your grimace
What a way to meet
I can't control my quickness
And I'm pissing on myself
I drank too much Guinness
But it's bad for your health
Unfinished Business
(repeat)

Far Out
03:07
|
|||
|
It seems unlikely to me
That I'm a pet that somebody keeps
But every now and then
I feel a tugging at my neck like there's a leash
Flashing lights controlled by my mind
Catch insights untold by our kind
(repeat)

The Only Sense
02:49
|
|||
|
The only sense
You've ever made
Was when you coughed
Up a quarter
You're so dense
Creating shade
Attention gathers moss
Growing shorter
You're more intense
Than in the past
Like “was” and “were”
Or even “future”
I've made amends
To be exact
Cut my finger
Made a suture
