"Hidden Track"

"Hidden Track"



So you've got balls now
Marie on the run
Down on newberry street
Seventeen seconds of fun

Apes are overrated, blucky
A kinky batch of pudding, yay!
Garbage dump pumpkin rot
And candy apple gray

Werewolf in a flower bed
Perfect day for lucky guy
This song was never meant to be released
What's that flaming ball in the sky?

The crack head from texas
He can read my feet
A bruised pinata
And a liquid pixie

If friends were flowers
Nothing gold can stay
Consexual sense
And squeegee tales

Bees in the cookie jar
Symphonic despair
Reinventing the manifesto
I, you, we ... don't care

Jacuzzi's and bunnies
A broken fondue set
Koool g is in the outhouse
You can be my mr. french

This old frisbee
Is shitting in the alley
I saw a naked picture of me on the internet
Wearing jesus's new snowshoes
Golly gee

If hell is crowded, then we shall sing
A hip song for the kids in the back
For michele & the dripping of a faucet
Ride the vicious bicycle on the tracks

Olympic mayonnaise, dr. thunder!
Low occupancy vehicle stops and starts
With hollywood suspicion
The doctor had snake parts

"Hospital Food"

"Hospital Food"



Coming through the alley
Trying to walk without a sound
It doesn't really matter
'cause there ain't no one around
Tip toe through the alley and
Tip toe through your life
You still got it coming
Be it gun be it knife
Next thing you know
You're eating hospital food

Karaoke castration
Take the wasp alive
He's gonna sting you anyway
And take you to the hive
Yesterday was suckin' and
Tomorrow's looking bad
Who knew that today
Was the only thing I had

Hospital food
Want some hospital food
Hospital food
Delicious hospital food

In your tribute album to the world
You must never forget
To sing the one about the cat
Who's always getting wet
He's always got a problem
He's a very bitter dude
And now he is complaining
'bout his hospital food

Hospital food
It's gonna help the medicine go down
Want some hospital food
Gonna take a walk without a sound
A little hospital food
Helps the spoonful of sugar come up
I want some hospital food
In your blender and in my cup

"I Am Building A Shrine"

"I Am Building A Shrine"


I am building a shrine
Deep inside my heart
It's filled with all the little things
I'll take when I depart

[Chorus:]
All the love you bring me, all the tender words you sing me
And all the suns within your smile
All the wisdom of your ways, enduring endless days
And all the love that never dies

Deep down in the cold ground
Such a sad place to be
But I'll be fine, with all them little things
That I'm taking with me

[Chorus: x3]
All the love you bring me, all the tender words you sing me
And all the suns within your smile
All the wisdom of your ways, enduring endless days
And all the love that never dies.

"I Like Birds"

"I Like Birds"



I can't look at the rocket launch
The trophy wives of the astronauts
And i won't listen to their words
'cause i like
Birds

I don't care for walking downtown
Crazy auto-car gonna mow me down
Look at all the people like cows in a herd
Well, i like
Birds

If you're small and on a search
I've got a feeder for you to perch on

I can't stand in line at the store
The mean little people are such a bore
But it's alright if you act like a turd
'cause i like
Birds

If you're small and on a search
I've got a feeder for you to perch on

"I Like The Way This Is Going"

"I Like The Way This Is Going"



I like your toothy smile,
it never fails to beguile.
Whichever way the wind is blowing
I like the way this is going.

I like the color of your hair,
I think we make a handsome pair.
I can only see my love growing
I like the way this is going

I like to watch TV with you,
there's really nothing i would rather do.
Then maybe we can go to bed,
get up and do it all again.

I like the way your pants fit,
how you stand and how you sit,
whatever seeds that you're sowing,
I like the way this is going.

I don't care about the past,
none of it was made to last,
it's not what who you've known,
but who you're knowing,

I like the way this is going
I like the way this is going.

"I Need A Mother"

"I Need A Mother"



I need a mother
I'm sorry but it's true
I need a lover
Not someone like you

I been your daddy for too long of a time
Need a little mothering just once in a while
I need a mother
I'm sorry but it's true

It's undercover, the way it's always been
I should have said something
But I didn't know where to begin
You've been taking everything I have to give
But I don't have no more
This ain't no way for me to live
I need a mother
I'm sorry, that's just how it is

I need a mother
It's really nothing new
A little help sometimes
That's just what you do

I been your daddy for too long of a time
Need a little help, you know
Just once in a while
I need a mother
I'm sorry, but it's true

"I Need Some Sleep"

"I Need Some Sleep"



I need some sleep
It can't go on like this
I tried counting sheep
But there's one I always miss
Everyone says I'm getting down too low
Everyone says you just gotta let it go
You just gotta let it go
You just gotta let it go

I need some sleep
Time to put the old horse down
I'm in too deep
And the wheels keep spinning 'round
Everyone says I'm getting' down too low
Everyone says you just gotta let it go
You just gotta let it go
You just gotta let it go

You just gotta let it go

"I Write The B-Sides"

"I Write The B-Sides"



I write the b-sides
That make a small portion of the world cry
I like the seaside
And singing songs that make you not wanna die
Throw a stone into the sea
And wait for it to come back to me
Better get out on the boat
'cause someone told me that stones don't float

I like to sit out back
And look up at the squirrels in the trees
They don't like radio tracks
And they don't ever talk down to me
Throw a nut up in the tree
Gonna fall right back on me
Well these guys know who they are
And what they need is in their own backyard

I like to play in the snow
I stick my hand in now where did it go
It might be mighty cold
But that's all part of not doing what you're told

"I'm A Hummingbird"

"I'm A Hummingbird"



The old oak tree had roots so far down in the ground
I fell from it and hit the dirt without a sound
I dreamt at night of growing wings so I could fly
A caterpillar to a moth before I die

I plodded through, ordinarily earthbound
I knew my feet could never leave the ground
I went about my way, unsteady and afraid
How could I know I was headed for this day?
All the seconds
And the minutes
And the hours
And the days
And the weeks
And the months
And the years of my life

It was all worth it
To be here now

I'm a hummingbird
Floatin' tree to tree
I'm a hummingbird
Beautiful and free

The old oak tree was dead; I had to cut it down
The sapling roots were new and sprouting through the ground
New worlds were taking shape, unseen and unknown
A branch to rest upon
A place to call my own

Something had changed, and I'm not sure how or why
I wasn't dreaming; I was awake, I was alive
Gave up the ghost; he had nothing left to say
But it was him who brought me to this day
All the seconds
And the minutes
And the hours
And the days
And the weeks
And the months
And the years of my life

It was all worth it
To be here now

I'm a hummingbird
Floatin' tree to tree
I'm a hummingbird
Beautiful and free

"I'm Going To Stop Pretending That I Didn't Break Your Heart"

"I'm Going To Stop Pretending That I Didn't Break Your Heart"



I'm gonna tell you what you need to hear
And i'm a little too late
By three or four years
And it may not make much sense
Now that we are apart
But i'm going to stop pretending
That i didn't break your heart

You see i never thought enough of myself
To realize that losing me could mean
Something like the tears in your eyes
And i want to tell you i'm sorry
And it's too late to start
But i'm going to stop pretending
That i didn't break your heart

And it's christmas eve
Years down the line
Sitting here wishing i'd treated you better
When you were mine
And i have no way of knowing where you are
But i'm going to stop pretending
That i didn't break your heart

I didn't mean to hurt you
I didn't know what i was doing
But i know what i have done
