I’m Just
With all due regrets I’ll tell ya
I’m sorry you can’t be my priority
I’ve got first things first
And it’s only of necessity
I’m just trying to keep my daughter’s father
From falling down the stairs and missing her big fight
I’m just trying to help my wife’s husband
Finally get the combination right
I’m just trying not to miss the mark
When the going is good
Necessity falls down the stairs
When the combination is right
Not all the way misunderstood
Not all the way misunderstood
I’m just trying not to miss the mark
When the going is good
Trying to keep my mother’s son
From being all the way misunderstood
Necessity falls down the stairs
When the combination is right
Not all the way misunderstood
Not all the way misunderstood
With all due regrets I’ll tell ya
I’m sorry you can’t be my priority
I’ve got first things first
And it’s only of necessity
I’m just trying to keep my daughter’s father
From falling down the stairs and missing her big fight

Lucky
That I get to see you every day
So lucky
That you’re crazy like me
Crazy
In love with
Your fabulous ways
So crazy, so crazy, we run off in the woods to play
Fabulous
You make me swoon
Fabulous
If I weren’t here I’d be over soon
Lucky
That I get to see you every day
So lucky
That you’re crazy like me
Crazy
In love with
Your fabulous ways
So crazy, so crazy, we run off in the woods to play
Fabulous
You make me swoon
Fabulous
If I weren’t here I’d be over soon

The Face of the Earth
Look upon the face
The face of the earth
Let it be home, let it be good
It wants to be, wants to be good
Be its creators
My friend Snydroski doesn't
Care what you look like
But I'm on the fence 'cause
I think you're beautiful
Be black enough for you
Be white as you have to be
We're all just passing,
Whistling past this grand catastrophe
When the smoke clears
Let's all be from everywhere
Take our queue from blue and
Make purple, green and
What has to be
Functionality
Musicality
7 billion interlocking pieces and
A peace to make a lasting thing
A beauty upon the face of the earth
A beauty that is
The face of the earth
A beauty upon the face of the earth
A beauty that is
The face of the earth

Animal Face
There’s a man with an animal face in the coffee shop today
He keeps his head down, won’t look in your direction
Like a dog that’s been into the garbage
His clothes are non-descript, but cover as much of him as possible
When he speaks, it’s a hiss not a howl
He’s proud of all the territorial pissings behind him

Me (Infamy)
You were hoping I'd turn out differently
I get that, and I have some sympathy
I coulda been a contender
A bottom-feeder provender
I'll side-step fame and go for infamy
Maybe choice is an illusion
Maybe the joy is in the doing
Maybe the world we build's a new one
Maybe it's matryoshka, maybe it's tree rings
Rotten without the thing at its heart
Your expectations have a fractal delivery system
If I let you have your way on one then it's
Geometric distribution
On down into my DNA and
Everything I used to hope would make me
Me

You
This song will infect you
Leper outcast unclean
It will teach you to suffer
It will make you obscene
And it's always been the point
It's always been about you
I took a leap off the pier with the platonic ideal
I said taste this it's awful
I give you flint and tinder
And a rocket-fuel shower
And I hope you will go up like me
This song will infect you
Leper outcast unclean
It will teach you to suffer
It will make you obscene
Your murder (I hope it will comfort you)
Will be a spectacle they've never seen
A snuff film of cosmic proportions
An end to all that's ever been
This is the schizzle
This is the bomb
"I love you" with
Napalm and spleen

Pegasus
Born in an Okie well
My mother was a gorgon but
My father never fell
Shape of a seahorse
Form of a swan
Don’t ask me for a ride because
You can’t get on
You know my name
You’ve seen me in your dreams
You may know my face but it
Isn’t what it seems
I got places to be
More destinations worldwide
I’m not that other guy
With all the soldiers inside
Don’t listen to those guys about those shoes
Percy had trouble getting ‘round
With me he cannot loose
You know my name
You’ve seen me in your dreams
You may know my face but it
Isn’t what it seems
You oughtta see me now
No reservations ’bout the Muses
And they still know how
You oughtta see how far
Just take a tip from the Big Dipper
Past the northern star

All the Truth
You drank all the truth in the room
You made it into one very pretty tomb
And that’s the best I can say for your modus operandi
You’re not content to have me do my best
You’re not on board with the love boat in my heart
Which is full to the bow
With imperfect things
It’s full to the brim with
Everything
There’s a lavender field in my dream
It’s everything it can seem
I put my back into the climb
Some zip in my zing
With my eyes on the prize of that glorious thing
That flower of fire sitting high on a summit
And it’s asking for picking and I reach out my hand
And my hand’s on the flat of your greasy thigh

That One Big Thing

That One Big Thing
It’s that one big thing
Or I could say ‘well done’
It’s the only thing behind me
It’s what keeps me on the run
And thanks for the offer
But there’s nothing you can do
It’s that one big thing
And only I can follow through
When you’re tired
Into which hole do you crawl?
It’s been a while
Have you done it,
Have you done it all?
When you’re on fire
And you can’t see side-to-side
Call me a liar
But you haven’t done it
Haven’t done it at all
It’s that one big thing
Or you could say ‘well done’
It’s that only thing behind you
It’s what keeps you on the run
And thank me for the offer
But there’s nothing I can do
It’s that one big thing
And only you can follow through
When you’re tired
Into which hole do you crawl?
It’s been a while
Have you done it,
Have you done it all?

Skull Man
We play our subtle tunes
Our colors kiss the lines
We shave the bits you cannot see
So the trains will run on time
Ha!
Skull Man, I like the way you go
Put all the insides right out there
Put your bean up on the block
And let 'er blow
We've got them lined up
Give that first one a flick
But to go, you know, you have to fall
It's a bite, it's a claw, it's a scream
These are the things that stick
Skull Man, I like the way you think
Put all the insides right out there
Put your bean up on the wall
And go clink, clink
Political, polite, a matter of policy
So civil, so savvy, a selfie soliloquy
Beneath, we're ranting, we're panting
We know and love you all
We think we're ourselves
But we're just synecdoche

Baker’s Dozen
I got something for you, baby
I am happy to help
I got something and it doesn’t have a number on it
It’s got no appropriate shelf
Got no hinges, key, or a lid
But I can assure you, baby
Golden treasure inside is hid
I got something you, b-b-b-b-baby
I got a dozen from the baker man
I got something for you, baby
I beat the one two three four five six seven eight nine ten ‘leven twelve, baby
I put the number thirteen right in your hand
(boiled, deviled, beguiled)
Right in your hand

Mr. Sparkle
Mr. Sparkle, you know where you’re going through
Mr. Sparkle, you know where it’s going to
Lets us know when we were smaller than your eyes
Lets us know when we nop, nep sighing
Badda bop badda bop bop-ba
Mr. Sparkle, you know where you’re going through
Mr. Sparkle, you know what I’m coming to
Lets us know when we were taller than your eyes
Lets us know when we nop, nep down-size
Badda bop badda bop bop-ba
Mr. Sparkle, you know where you’re going through
Mr. Sparkle, you know where it’s going to
Memphis talking ‘bout how it’s midnight on your pier
But then the net’s got a way to be
I put one foot in front of the other
I put one foot in front of the other
I put one wrist in front of the other
I put one
And then I put two
It’s the power of me and you
