Don’t misconstrue the electric guitar
My heart will sue if you’re guessing your part (woah)
Cause that won’t do
I want you the way that you are
Bright shining star oh how I love you (woah)
When you were so sad & I felt so bad oh how the flames fanned
When I treated you mean, I did not mean… I misunderstand
To forgive me when it was my unfortunate mind in yours
I won’t forget & I won’t ignore when this rotten apple hears a plea that strikes its core
I’ve not felt this way before
Since the day I pulled you out from burning wreckage of the house that leveled in the war
Sparks something more
Oh I don’t wanna know what’s reckless & uncool
I’d rather play the fool with…
You will never know how much I love you
Can’t find the sum of every grain of sand
Or hold elapsing moments in her hand
He finds the foot is on the other shoe
She strains her eyes to see the out of view
Get out of the car
But don’t misconstrue the electric guitar
I won’t make you blue no more (drip drip drip, tears in the toilet)
When I’m pickin’ apart what I never even knew… (drip drip drip, what can I do?)
(drip drip drip) has been taken too far
I’d rather take you just the way that you are/argh (like a pirate)

Jenny is a Genie

Jenny is a genie in the vacuum you employ
Lloyd has the will to destroy you
Lloyd she’s not your genie in that bathroom
back to bed
Tread very light when it’s time to
“Apple in my eye, there are no reasons left to cry
For what it’s worth, one reason why
I’ll be with you ‘till the day I die”
Later, fast asleeping, jenny’s sneakin’ into town
“Clown, I must say, I’ve enjoyed you”

Was It God's Mistake?

Contained
All parts primarily made to remain unchanged
Probably unpaid
Wednesday
All work was lost
Anyway, it’s hard to say
For heaven’s sake
One promise I can’t make
Today
You’ll prove that point in so many ways
Wow, you’re so awake…
Faaaaaaake
Was it god’s mistake?
Was it made to remain?

It's Vasectomy Time!

You got this girl
She’s simply divine
You two just wanna have a real good time
Cause you loves the loves
You really, really love her
But who really likes wearing a rubber?
Q: Why would anyone wanna have children in this day & age? (A: I don’t know)
Why would anyone wanna have children making minimum wage?
Why would anyone wanna have children? Ahh
Vasectomies for you & me
For every fish in the sea with a peepee
For population density
It’s the thing to do for me & for…
When you got this guy
He’s the guy for you
You know that he’ll always be true
And a looker but you always knew…
He’s a few points short of an IQ
There’s something you must do…
He needs a little talkin’ to
It’s time for a vasectomy
It is not a crime
So why would anyone want to have children when it is vasectomy time?
Why would anyone want to have children when it’s vasectomy time?
Ooh, Whew, It’s vasectomy time!
Ask your doctor if Vasectomy® is right for you!

I’m always getting fucked
It’s just my luck, it’s heaven sent
I guess I’m just a sucker for punishment
But when I try to beat it, it always comes again
When we make things fit, it’s that feeling within
Oh, I love you so much, through the ups & downs
It’s your tender touch that always turns me around
So when you come into town, don’t turn me down
You’ve done that plenty
Don’t fuck around any differently
But when you fuck me, fuck me gently
When you fuck me, fuck me gently
When you suck me, don’t suck me dry
If you love me, love me plenty
If you don’t, well then pass me by
Kiss me but if you must dismiss me then baby, baby don’t you cry
Cause tears are gonna fall like rain
It’s been a pleasure as well as a pain
But the air ya breathe don’t really leave with every breath
It’s something of a give & take
God forbid if we made a mistake
Well, ya get a little life
Then ya get a little death

In The Embassy
02:24

Julian Assange sitting in the Ecuadorian embassy
“I wonder if the powers that be can concede,
I’m a human being”
Oh, woah
Life it does go on but if your life is like the life of Mr. Assange
Your world will remain inside
There’s nowhere left to hide
‘n’ Somebody said “the truth will set you free”
Just not for me
Nothing comes before or after anything
In the embassy

What a fine time to see a new possibility just when it seemed out of view
What we do?
Oh, nothing
Two more games for frameworks of reference
That point we missed, I admit it was a little bit cliché
But it’s life as was once that way
You’re the one that always makes the day

Cut the chord, you’ve got me so bored!
How’m I s’pposed to get to the light at the end of the clue?
We do love to sing at the splitting seams
Lovely thing you’ve been in my dreams
I’m always waking up too
It’s slipping away but I still see you
What a time to be alive with thee
I’d die to see what it means
To be free of these spaces between (free at last & by that I mean in-between heartaches)
What you see & what you get (patiently await for the twists of fate to fade away)
Yet, isn’t one too depending on 3 just to be? (Wait ‘till I’m done with things & he pulls de strings
Pen to page, that’s life in this age)
Ok, but if my feelings are true, I hope you know I can still hear (you)
What a time to be preserved in memories
It’s all that is left & all you’re gonna see
It’s all you’re gonna get out of me
This time, we won’t forget of the equal & opposite effect
No disrespect, but did you expect this thing to be built in a day?
And so I say we sail away
Just to be free of these spaces between (free at last & by that I mean in between heartaches)
ABC & what ya get (patiently await 4 the twists of fate 2 fade away)
Yet, in the night, an abyss & a pea & a pipe (in rewritten pasts, been a prophecy, history changin’ at last)
Little dot in the dark
Might we take this chance to get through
The wall dividing our minds from clueing in
Two strange points of view in time 'cause I still need you (feel you)

Nuclear Death

Nuclear death
Nuclear death
Nuclear death
Comin’ ‘round the bend
‘Round the bend
‘Round the bend
This is the end
Is the end
Is the end
Is the end
Comin’ down today
Down today
Down today
From up so high
It’s time to pray
Pray to god that it’s time to die
Time to die
What a waste
A waste of life
What’s the cost?
What’s the cost?
The cost of a lie?
Of a lie
Of a lie
Livin’ just to die

If I’m you & you are me & I owe you an eye for an eye there won’t be anything left to see/say but why(?)
Whyyyyyyyyyyy?
What’s there to do?
Usually nothing new
What’s there to be?
To believe
Leave your name & your number at the end of the message

My girl
She’s the best in the world but better still
She’s that new kind of model with the looks that could kill
She’s well worth the bill cause she’s the top of the line
When she walks that walk ya know she’s divine, yeah
You’d love to love her but you’re wasting all your precious time
Cause she’s out of stock
She’s all mine
Yeah, yeah
Her configuration is somethin’ that you’ve never seen
When she talks that talk I know she’s a lovin’ machine, yeah
Cause she was made for me & I’m meant to be with that girl until the end
Ooh, wooh my robot girlfriend
Yeah, yeah
