The Big Royalty Check in the Sky

by Zack Benlan

Spiwizzle Pop Music ever so slightly demented, turned askew, and filtered through a heavy shade of lime green. Only Zack Benlan could do Zack Benlan. Favorite track: Who Could Put Up With Me?.

It hurt when you said that we’re through And you don’t love me at all At the burger place, In my disgrace I went running to the bathroom stall Drip Drip Drip Tears in the Toilet Drip Drip Drip What can I do? Drip Drip Drip I’m cryin’ into the toilet Cause I can’t stand to cry in front of you I think about things we used to do And dreams that won’t come true I think about your new guy And how someday he’ll break your heart too You broke my heart at the burger stand Said you found yourself a new man Said I was nothin' more than a little crush A love like this can only end with a flush

Beach Mob 01:44
California and it’s too fucking hot There’s weed to smoke and waves to be caught You could stay at home or not, so here’s a thought It’s time for a Beach Mob (go for a dip) Beach Mob (take a little trip) I can’t think of nothing that I’d like to do more than to go to the beach with you The air is warm but the water’s cool Sure beats sneakin’ into a pool And if we get cold, guess it’s alright We’ll just have to have a fire tonight Beach Mob (waves and weed) Beach Mob (just what I need) I can’t think of nowhere that I’d like be more than the sand and sea you and me I can’t think of nothing that’d mean any more than to waste the day away at the shore
3.
I guess a year might be an hour I’ve got cold, you’ve gone sour But hey baby, let’s head for the hills We won’t have to worry ‘bout payin’ no bills And I won’t be so paranoid anymore It won’t be like it was before uh nothing to do, Nothing to see Nowhere to go and nowhere to be Gee, I’m a flower, you freak I don’t need to speak No I don’t need to speak I wouldn’t know what to say I’m just a flower anyway I guess a year might be a day I’ve gone green, you’ve gone gray I don’t think I know what to say And I don’t know if I love you anyway But if that’s the case then I can’t unwind That’s the only way it can be defined Cause it’s never for me, it’s not my kind I’m not gonna let that sonic clusterfuck enter my mind (hard to meet people that don't make me want to die - wonder why?) I’m not gonna die just cause I’m a flower, you freak I don’t need to speak No I don’t need to speak I wouldn’t know what to say I’m just a flower anyway Guess a year has gone away But I can’t make sense of today Guess I’ll have to find a way What the hell am I going to say? (dum-dum I'm the latest kid it ain't my scene but it's what I did think of what will come of this one minute's hell and the next is bliss) [someone tell me what to do make it shiny and call it new] I love you

Oolagood 03:09
My mind’s been jumbled on what to say But girl this can’t wait another day You’re everything I’ve been looking for You mean so much more than anything I’ve seen before, woah oh Near to you I need to be You’re just what I love to see You’re the girl for me Ah, You’re the girl for me And if you think that’s fine Let’s get together and waste all of our time So what do you say? Anything’s okay All I know is that I gotta be by your side today Any which way You’re not an easy find You say what’s on your mind I think you are my kind No one else could compare to your mind or your hair The groovy clothes you wear Oh, You’re the girl for me And if you could be mine Let’s get together and waste all of our time Cause my mind’s been mangled the last few days So please tell me girl, what do you say? So what do you say? Anything’s okay All I know is that I gotta be by your side today Do you feel the same way?
5.
You say that you can’t see through my eyes A simpler task would be to see through all of your lies Well maybe I’m just pokin’ at your disguise But by now you should know it’s never gonna materialize Oh, who could put up with me? Who could put up with you? ooh You don’t like what you see Cause I don’t like what you do ooh Once upon a time, I could meet your standards I only had to hail you as supreme commander Uh, well maybe I just don’t need your cancer And I don’t care where you’re looking cause you won’t find the answer At a time there was time to kill I tell ya honey it’s been a thrill But in our heads it's never been the same I just can’t play your fuckin’ games And you have the gall to call me out As if you know just what it’s all about Well I think you can shove it up your snout Or maybe it’s just time for you to get out Oh, who could put up with me? Who could put up with you? ooh You’re still stuck to me But I’ve had it with you ooh

Without You 02:29
I’m useless without you I can’t find my way out of bed And I don’t know what to do And I can’t get you out of my head You said goodbye, please don’t let it be for good I’m gonna cry but I guess that ya knew I would And that’s alright, but ya need to know my dear Without you I’m living in fear I’m broken without you I can’t seem to stand on my feet And I don’t know what is true And I can’t talk to people that I meet You said goodbye, please don’t let it be for good I’m gonna change but I guess ya knew I would And life goes on, but just to be clear Without you I’m living in fear Without you where’s my reason live? Without you what do I have to give? What do I have to do? And I’ll turn out wrong And life’ll go on But it won’t go on with you
7.
Oh Jared 03:12
Oh Jared, why did you have to be into that? Oh, oh Jared, we know what you’ve done We know you’re a rat I know you lost 245 pounds of fat But ya don’t have the right to recommend me a sandwich No ya don’t Oh Jared, why did you have to turn out bad Oh, oh Jared, why did you have to make me sad? I know you made sub way very glad Oh Jared I guess you won’t be eatin’ sub way soon Oh, oh Jared you’ll eat what you get with a plastic spoon
8.
I dunno what I mean to say when I say what I don’t mean And I dunno why we have to live in the past (we’re always living too fast) I’d rather live in dreams But to see that nothing is how it seems (no way this is how it should be) Who’s to say what real and what’s fantasy (in extremes, just change the recipe) Be with me, I’ll be with you Just be with me, We’ll find the truth You’re killing yourself And I know, I’ve done it once before And I know that you expected more But it’s really not what you’re looking for Look and see but be with me I’ll be with you Just be with me And be happy

10.
It’s not how it used to be That should be fine with me I’ve had such a weird year Oh how did I get here Those dumb things we do I might miss you I try so hard to make the skies What they should be in my eyes Put things where they should be It’s only what I see To find you lonely I’m so sorry
