"Skin Traps"

"Skin Traps"



She's a lifestyle grinder
Ingesting crimewave sauce
And once you get behind her
You can write it off as a loss

She commands the minotaur
And she designs the maze
She's demanding more guitars
That sound like Purple Haze

Love lights stay up all nights
I murdered you
If you can't sing and dance for the man
You will be replaced by kids who can

I spent my youth spinning yarns
With the lady of the manor
Now everyone's avoiding me
Because I got the scanner

If you turn around I'll be behind you
I promise you
And if you feel yourself begin to snap
Falling into the skin trap

But when you go to shoot the messenger
It's like your sending your own message
To the person who sent the original message
Hey!

Her lies are password protected
And stored on backup drives
On the night her statue was erected
I broke out in hives

Love lights stay up all night
I'm feeling you
I've been famous for the last few days
But now I'm going away

If you turn around I'll be behind you
I promise you
And if you feel yourself begin to snap
Falling into the skin trap

She sets the skin trap
(And I fall in love)
She sets the skin trap
(And I fall in love)
She sets the skin trap
(And I fall in love)
She sets the skin traps
Hey!

"Slices Of You"

"Slices Of You"



I'm late for dinner but look who's on the menu
(?) when I'm in a hurry nothing tastes as good as you do
Whisper in my ear all your culinary wishes
Next thing you know you're washing the dishes
Your table is ready for me
I'm happy to seat you

Slices of you
I'd really like another slice of you
That's so nice of you
I'd really like another slice of you
That's so nice of you
I'd really like another slice or two
I'd really like another slice of you
I'm late for dinner but look who's on the menu
'cos when I get a table you know damn well I get a table for two
Preheat the oven so the cooking is best
I trained at the very best kitchens in france
My service is slow and I hope this doesn't offend you

Slices of you
I'd really like another slice of you
That's so nice of you
I'd really like another slice of you
That's so nice of you
I'd really like another slice or two
(Slice of you)
I'd really like another slice of you

And everywhere I go
You ask me, Valentine
What's your recipe for love?
MY answer's always the same
Cook the hell out of it
It's slices of you
If music be the food of love, play on
But I'm really too hungry for just one song
It's so fire leads to you
I'd really like anotheer slice of you
That's so nice of you
(Nice of you)
I'd really like another slice of you
(Slice of you)
I'd really like another slice of you

I'm late for dinner but look who's on the menu
'cos when I'm in a hurry nothing tastes as good as you do
I'm late for dinner but look who's on the menu
'cos when I'm in a hurry nothing tastes as good as you do
I'm late for dinner but look who's on the menu

"Slow Motion Man"

"Slow Motion Man"



I saw your picture in a pointless magazine
You wear your weapons well
You’ve got a future as a killing machine
As far as I can tell

I’m sure your driver does the best he can
He does whatever it takes
But I, I put my money on slow motion man
Because he never puts on the brakes

And it’s all, part of the plan
When you hire slow motion man
Can he devise your lesson plan?
Why yes, he can
And it takes, such a long time
To arrives home when he drives
And he drives so slow, you slowly go mad

And if you’re looking for the naughtiest mistletoe
I know just what it takes
Sign this disclaimer just before you go…
because I make mistakes

I cannot save you from drowning in jealousy
If you refuse to believe
What’s in your heart is a fallacy
What’s in your mind can never leave

And it’s the products from Japan
That are confounding slow motion man
And he strives to make your wishes
His command (His command)

But it takes, six to eight weeks
To get closer when he speaks
And he speaks, in a voice that drives you mad
Mad!

And I could see you from my perch on highest tree
You hid the feelings and felts
And you forsook me for idoltry
Before I could even take off my belt
And now the weather has turned a few degrees
And we must part for a year
Please don’t expect me to remember memories
I leave them all right here

And it’s the meals from a can
Giving life to slow motion man
As he sends directions to an endless caravan (caravan)

And dies such a long death
They will enshrine his final breath
And he breathes so heavy, it makes you bleed
Bleed!

"Steal Your Bones"

"Steal Your Bones"



We fear what we're becoming.
But look what we've become.
Truth can be somewhat numbing.
When we see that we've been so dumb.

To ensure your survival I need you dead upon arrival.

And I will love you forever
Though you surely won't remember
Everything I did to make you love me...
You are the friend of mine
And when you die I'm gonna steal your bo-oones.
You are the space in time
And when you rise I'm gonna feel your clo-oones.
Ohh look how your love light shines as you out-number me.

They said we should never go here.
That it should never be done.
But smile your thousand faces.
For all the fear they have merely won.

Then we'll abandon wrong from right,
And hear the heart beats of the dead tonight.

And I love you forever
And you never will remember
Everything I did to make you love me...
You are the friend of mine
And when you die I'm gonna steal your bo-oones.
You are the space in time
And when you rise I'm gonna feel your clo-oones.
Ohh look how your love light shines as you owe everything to me.

And I declare where there's a way,
There's a will.
And have you ever seen the boys from Brazil?

Evolution rolls the dice.
We can be so much more precise.

And I love you forever
Though you surely won't remember
Everything I did to make you love me...
You are the friend of mine
And when you die I'm gonna steal your bo-oones.
You are the space in time
And when you rise I'm gonna feel your clo-oones.
Ohh look how your love light shines as you out-number me.

"Strike While The Iron Is Hot (Demo)"

"Strike While The Iron Is Hot (Demo)"


This is what I turn into when I get really hungry
Man become machine and
Machine becometh monkey
This is what I turn into when I get close to you

What do you want me to do?
It gets hard I know
You’re playing with fire, it’s about to blow
You
I ain’t some souvenir
Can’t take it no more, do I make myself clear

Taking all the drugs a boy and girl can find
Entering the vortex in the centre of my mind
But you don’t wanna go there so you leave it behind
You…
What do you want me to do?

It gets hard I know
You’re playing with fire, it’s about to blow
You
I ain’t some souvenir
Can’t take it no more, do I make myself clear

I’m going to strike while the iron is hot!
Hit you with everything I got
I’m gonna…
Strike! Strike! Strike!
Strike! Strike! Strike!
Strike! Strike! Strike!
Strike! Strike! Strike!
Yes baby!

I know… strike
[Mumbling]

I don’t want your body if you can’t keep it clean
I don’t want your money if your money isn’t green
50 million megawatts of gasoline
Yeah

Strike
Strike while the iron is hot!
Hit you with everything I got
I’m gonna…
Strike! Strike! Strike!
Strike! Strike! Strike!
Strike! Strike! Strike!
Strike! Strike! Strike!
Insane!

"Stuck In A Closet With Vanna White"
(originally by "Weird Al" Yankovic)

"Stuck In A Closet With Vanna White"
(originally by "Weird Al" Yankovic)



Doctor, every night I have the strangest dreams
Doctor, listen to me, tell me what this means
First I'm goin' shopping in my underwear
Then all of sudden I'm floating in mid-air
My lips fall off and everybody starts to stare
Donuts and hot dogs are flying everywhere

Now doctor, wait a minute, you ain't heard nothin' yet
Next comes the part that I won't ever forget
Now I'm being followed by these Russian spies
They give me some velcro and an order of fries
Suddenly I'm bowling on the Starship Enterprise
I fall down a hole and that's when I realize

I'm stuck in a closet with Vanna White
I'm stuck in a closet with Vanna White
Night after night after night after night
All right

Doctor, won't you tell me, am I going insane?
Was it something I ate or something wrong with my brain?
See, I'm naked in church when I meet a dinosaur
Try to run but my feet have been nailed to the floor
Then a midget pushes me through a revolving door
And I'm back in the very same place I was before

Now I'm stuck in a closet with Vanna White
I'm stuck in a closet with Vanna White
Night after night after night after night

(And I can't bust out and I can't break free)
And it's gettin' just a little too stuffy here for me
(And I can't go home and I can't get loose)
And I try to escape but it's just no use
(And I can't ever leave and I can't ever win)
And we're runnin' outta air and the walls are closin' in
(And I can't go back and I can't get through)
But Vanna, since you're here, why don't you let me buy a vowel from you?
Come on, Vanna, come on!

Doctor, all those crazy dreams have started again
That's right, I even wake up screaming now and then
See, I'm coming home from work but I forgot my address
I'm half an hour late for my algebra test
Then some slimy alien jumps out of my chest
And I'm falling and falling and I guess you know the rest

I'm stuck in a closet with Vanna White
I'm stuck in a closet with Vanna White
Night after night after night after night

I'm stuck in a closet with Vanna White
Stuck in a closet with Vanna White
N-n-n-night after night after night night night

Then I'm stuck in a closet with Vanna White (ya-ya ya-ya, ya-ya, ya, ya-ya)
I'm stuck in a closet with Vanna White
Night after night after night after night

I'm stuck in a closet with Vanna White (ya-ya ya-ya ya-ya ya-ya)
I'm stuck in a closet with Vanna White

"Suitcases"

"Suitcases"


It’s new sound, of things burning down
I’m laughing out loud as I fade into the crowd
Or was it just a daydream I was, contemplating?
Ain’t life a ball when you’re living in a mall
Heeding the high society mating call
I’d rather be doing nothing at all
(That’s what suitcases are for)
An escape route paved with gold
(I just can’t stay here anymore)
Looking at the same-old, same old
Drains colliding and I’m tired of hiding
I stayed up late for this, I sold my hate for this
I blew you, one last kiss
One last kiss

What’s in a name? More of the same
Your third-degree borders on misandry
You should’ve been asking, what’s in my bag?
(Trouble is the question is [?] anymore)
You just write filled[?] your fables
(That’s what suitcases are for)
That and turning the tables
Time flew now it lags
And I’m packing my bags
I stayed up late for this, I sold my hate for this
I blew you…
I blew you, one last kiss
One last kiss

Catch it if you can

"Synthesizer"

"Synthesizer"



You can shake it all around
You can go up and down
You can lose what you found
But you can't ignore my techno

You can go west or east
Confess your sins to a priest
You can slay the wicked beast
But you can't ignore my techno

You can go to the doctor
You can cough in his face
Infect the whole human race
But you can't ignore my techno

You can laugh you can cry
You can live you can die
Spend your days asking why?
But you can't ignore my techno

You can trip on my synthesizer
Electronic world for every boy and every girl
You can trip on my synthesizer
In the end technology onto the world that set us free

Be all that you can be
Just as long as you are free
You were blind and now you see
That just is my techno

You can trip on my synthesizer
Electronic world for every boy and every girl
You can trip on my synthesizer
In the end technology onto the world that set us free

You can trip on my
You can trip on my
You can trip on my
You can trip
You can trip
You can trip on my synthesizer
You can trip on my synthesizer
Let's go

"Table And Chairs"

"Table And Chairs"



I'm done with the road
I need an abode
A door to put my keys in
I've been a rolling stone but now going alone
Is akin to committing treason
Now speaking of
Woman in love
It's rhyme without reason
So come out from the forest we'll move into the chorus
Cuz it's wood chopping season
But first we'll build a bridge from here to there out of the finest mahogany
And then we'll build a place to sit and stare
I can't believe that you got to me

I see the meaning of life girl as our house becomes a home
And I've made you my wife girl maybe you throw me a bone
Let me sit down at your table and chairs
Free from all cares
Let me drown in your stares at your
Table and chairs

Now we've done our best
Passed every test
For cohabitation
But the registry sucks
I need five hundred bucks
To finance your elation
Some assembly required
I'm already tired
And I'm owed an explanation
It's a housekeeping heist
Oh, Jesus Christ!
I think i need a vacation
But first we'll apply a coat of varnish with the best polyurethane
Preventing any measure of tarnish and providing a pleasant stain

I'm drinking in the amazement as our house becomes a home
And there's a finished basement for all my most treasured stones
And room for your
Table and chairs
Free from all cares
Let me drown in your stares at your
Table and chairs

Any house can be a home
If push comes to shove
But i really gotta know
Do we have enough space?
Have enough space for all this love?

I can knock down some walls
Build an extension
Lay down some drywall
Trip the circuit breaker
And build an extension
I can get used to living anywhere
I used to live in a condominium with 3 other guys
I was paying 200 dollars a month
This is way better
Now I got a table and chairs
I got a woman and a wife
I got a television the size of Oklahoma
I got a yard for my invisible dog
And my invisible fence
I can keep the government off my lawn
I don't need no government interference coming to screw with me
I got married to my wife
And we bought a house
And also a table and chairs
