White Out

I don't like looking at my past mistakes I can't stand to see the mess it makes why should I suffer if I can do without I'll just take out my bottle and white it all out sure you can see it if you hold the page to light but put it on the desk and it looks alright the old parentheses and line just don't do it for me I'd rather erase it entirely well yeah sometimes it gets out of hand I should just crumple the page and start all over again I start thinking about it then I look at my watch dip in that brush and wipe out that splotch so what if it gets a little heavy so what if the page cracks and breaks who cares if it's hard to write on just a little dab is all it takes all it takes you say if I used pencil I wouldn't have to worry well when pencil smudges it looks pretty sorry you know I'm getting pretty tired of arguing with you so you'd better get lost or I'll white you out too

Orange Triangle
04:51
|

I'm using a fork for a spoon just for fun I'm hunting a moose with an elephant gun got a piece that's too big but I made it just fit got a creaky old staircase that's always unlit looking for that permanent tangle have to use a wrench as a hammer sometimes like to let those logical connections dangle got to add that line that doesn't really rhyme I'm trying to vie for that pie in the sky a man with a clawhammer jammed in his eye one foot in the freezer the other in coals wanting to put the square pegs in round holes trying to get it in at an angle shooting for some distance on that power drive fuming 'cause I'm stuck behind that orange triangle crawling at a speed of only twenty-five

Impossible Playmates

the impossible playmates are sitting in the sandbox having some fun on a september day everything's fine until one grabs a big rock and throws it at a spider to chase it away throws it so hard that it bounces instead hits the other kid hard in the lower jawbone dumps his bucket of sand on the first one's head as their mothers come running to carry them home the impossible playmates are there in the bedroom having a bout about the telephone bill she swears that she just would never call cancun he thinks that she's getting over the hill she thinks that he's had too many martinis and is running around with that blond down the hall he thinks her brain's in a permanent deep-freeze and heads for the alley after grabbing his ball the impossible playmates at the negotiating table trying to make the world a safe place to live white says that it will do all it is able but black just won't take what it's willing to give black says that white's chemical research must go or it will never accept such an outrageous offer white wants those missles taken out of rio as each side gets up and walks away blaming the other

Turning Invisible

dial up a face it all depends on just how I'd like you to react you think you know me you only know the part of me that's dealing with you give a little sign and I can hopefully select the right thing to say say don't point at me 'cause you're guilty of it too the diplomatic approach has begun to erode my identity and I'm not sure how to be myself anymore guess I'll just have to stick to the repertoire and just blend in it really can be fun to have to be someone who'd actually make me ill call me what you want say I'm a yes-man coward totally insincere but I'll get what I want and sadly you'll end up looking like a stubborn fool

Your Favorite Spoon

when are you going to get a little mud on get a little oil on get a little grease on those clean white shoes I've never seen you yelling out the window spitting in the condiments dropping fragile objects from the second floor you ain't see fun 'til you've got a staple gun and I'm just about to flatten out your favorite spoon let's go put some ketchup on your pillow burn some toast so the smoke just billows through the house howza 'bout a little raid on your grinder set the rug on fire stick a piece of wire in the microwave you ain't lived yet 'til you've terrorized your pet and I just cut a slice with a kitchen knife from your spotted tie so come on take a hammer to the mirror smash it into slivers throw it in the river impress your friends hope you don't mind if we muddy your sofa bury your loafers blow your stove up the fun never ends you ain't seen a thing 'til the fat lady sings and I just froze your formal clothes in the ice machine

On Second Thought
11:44
|

I know I said that you could count on me to help I know I said that I was behind you all the way well I don't know what I was thinking but now I think that I've changed my mind about it so sorry if I got your hopes up put visions in your head but I can't be held to what I say when I'm too drunk to function well I thought it was a good idea at first but now I think that you've lost your touch somehow so go ahead and hate me if you want to I never liked you anyway you can always find someone else to do the job someone who thinks like you 'cause I have to live with my conscience but that's a problem you don't seem to have too bad

No More Free Lunches
07:26

It's time to leave the fair you've had plenty of time to prepare in school you had it made now you've got to work to get paid you seem to be caught off guard well this is where life gets hard one thing must be made clear there'll be no more free lunches 'round here no more big checks from home gotta pay off that student loan gotta pay the bills and the rent wonder where your childhood went that degree's just a paper card working as a lowly guard never seem to have enough money welcome to the real world sonny a pile of clothes on the floor the stove doesn't work anymore a mound of dishes in the sink the trash is beginning to stink so we desperately dream of success to pull us all out of this mess if it wasn't for practice each week the future would look pretty bleak
