"The Perfectionist"

"The Perfectionist"


Ellery Sneed had one great need
To do everything just right,
If things were not planned and all done by hand
He would ready himself for a fight.

One afternoon while sitting alone
He came to a great realization
When it's his turn to die
Will there be enough time for plenty of planned preparation

With a few minutes thought his decision was clear
A fate most perfectly neat
Not a friend could remain to witness his death
So a terminal wine he would treat.

The plan was to hold a very large feast
Serving the wine at the end
Joining the fun would be everyone
He'd been calling his friend.

Invitations went out, all guests did arrive,
The meal looked a great success,
Deciding the time he brought out the wine,
Up stood a familiar guest.

Here's a toast to our gracious host
Said Ell's friend Billingford Bluffer
Never in my life will I taste but a bite
Of a more perfectly planned out supper.

"The Pitchman"

"The Pitchman"


What have you got for me this time
Can you make it sparkle
Can you make it shine
Have you got anything brighter
Something like that but a little bit tighter
[Chorus:]
Pitchman, Pitchman
Sell me that Pitchman
Something I need has slipped my mind
I've come here to barter
I've come here to buy
I've got this town tucked in my back pocket
I can't seem to stop it
I just wish I had more time
I'm in a hurry can we wrap it up
Will you try to to scratch it
Don't mark it up
I've got a hunger for the things that sparkle
I've got a thirst for the things that shine
Everyone a winner
Everyone amazing
Everyone a shocker
Everyone to tantalize
Don't mark it up!
Everyone a sure thing
Everything's tempting
Everyone must tantalize
But don't mark it up!
[Chorus]

"The Runaway"

"The Runaway"


Crash and burn
I know that it's not over yet
Live and learn
By living on the internet

Don't look now
I think we're on a runaway
Everybody's riding on a runaway

Smack the mouse
Someone's trying to take it all
Burn the house
I better get a fire wall

Don't look now
I think we're on a runaway
Everybody's riding on a runaway

If you think it's crazy
You know you're not alone

Can't you see
It doesn't matter where you are
Get it free
I do it with a CDR

Don't look now
I think we're on a runaway
Everybody's riding on a runaway

If you think it's crazy?
You know you're not alone
And don't you think it's crazy?
You know you're not alone

And you won't be riding along

XML
SRC and DVD
What the hell
It's digital insanity!

Don't look now
I think we're on a runaway
Everybody's riding on a runaway

If you think it's crazy?
You know you're not alone
And don't you think it's crazy?
You know you're not alone

And you won't be riding alone

"The Security Of Illusion"

"The Security Of Illusion"


Don't be fooled by what you see
I'm just an ordinary man
So many years I've sacrificed my needs
So give the gentleman a hand
I can make you look the other way
I know exactly what you'll see
It never ceases to amaze
What you're watching is my dreams
But oh if you want some more
All you have to do is ask
Oh you think you've seen it all
But I always save the best for last
I was alone until I learned
The security of illusion
I can't explain but you must observe
The security of illusion
But oh if you want some more
All you have to do is ask
Oh you think you've seen it all
But I always save the best for last
Now just look into my eyes
I've found the way
Through the confusion
That's why I've lived my life
Safe inside the security of illusion
The security of illusion
The security of illusion
The security of illusion
Oh if you want some more
All you have to do is ask
Oh you think you've seen it all
But I always save the best for last
Now just look into my eyes
I've found the way
Through the confusion
That's why I've lived my life
Safe inside the security of illusion
The security of illusion
The security of illusion
I was alone until I learned
The security of illusion
I've found a home and it's safe and sound
The security of illusion
I can't explain the security of...

"The Sound Of Strangers"

"The Sound Of Strangers"


No more
Going for the more familiar
No more
The nervous anxious grin
No more
Turning away from the peculiar
No more
Afraid of letting anyone in
[Chorus:]
Oh... The sound of strangers
Clawing at the door
Oh... The sound of strangers
Doesn't scare me anymore
No more
The fear of making the wrong impression
No more
Sitting on the edge of my chair
No more
Looking for approval on a quick decision
No more
Watching me from over there
[Chorus x2]

"The Vendetta (Still Helpless)"

"The Vendetta (Still Helpless)"


I'm up each day
At the crack of dawn
Primed for the first inspection
He's running the home and the family
Like a military installation
(This can't be right)
(I feel so helpless)
I can't do this and I can't do that
I dare not make a move
Without his orders
No matter how well I do what I do
It's never good enough, (not for him)
[Chorus:]
Helpless,
I feel so helpless
Helpless,
(I) don't like to be so helpless
I don't wish to feel in my own home
Some kind of prisoner
There must be a way to put a stop
To his violent behavior
[Chorus]
Somehow somethings' changed around the house
It suddenly seems so calm
Now what are we supposed to do
With all of this new found freedom
[Chorus]

"The Victim"

"The Victim"


Don't you feel like somebody owes you?
Don't you feel like you've got something coming?
Don't you think you've been taken advantage of?
Don't you think it's time to get even?
Think back, you must be a victim
You must be a victim some way
Think back, who can we sue
Who can we screw today?
Don't you feel like they all want a piece of you?
Don't you feel like someone's got it in for you?
Think back, you must be a victim
You must be a victim some way
Think back, who can we sue
Who can we screw today?

"The Way Of The World"

"The Way Of The World"


You don't know who to be nice to
You gotta watch what you say and do
You keep your hands in your pockets
(Close the door! Did you lock it?)
Hey all you sharks out there
You better be careful where you step
Don't say you've come to the right place
'Cause I've been here before
[Chorus:]
And if it gets too hot, don't drop it
That's just the way of the world
And if you get pushed off, jump on it
And get to know the way of the world
Welcome to the way of the world
You see it everywhere these days
Some kind of modern ice age
And if they think that you've got it (hold on tight)
(Is that my money in your wallet?)
And I don't know what you think
It's not like it's a new thing
But everytime it starts happening
I know I've been here before
[Chorus]
This is just the way of the world
Oh...
Do we follow in the footsteps
Should we follow in the footsteps
Do we follow in the footsteps
Oh...
[Chorus]
Getting to know the way of the world
Whatever the way the wind blows I'm on it
I'm getting to know the way of the world

"The Writing"

"The Writing"


She looked down at my palm
I had to know what was in store for me
So many plans had gone wrong
She said her eyes could see the future
She said that in my past
She'd seen a mountain in front of me
She said it wouldn't last
A change in luck would set me free
[Chorus:]
The writing is on the wall
Those words will change it all
The writing is on the wall
Good luck is just a thought
I pick up the morning express
I turn to the page that is calling me
Lately I've been a mess
I've got to see what the lion says
The sun is in the fifth house
You're sure to feel its strong effects
The clouds are clearing away
This losing streak will end today
[Chorus]

"Till The Well Runs Dry"

"Till The Well Runs Dry"


So here I go again, another first and ten
Make my move and keep my eyes on the prize
You know I hesitate to put my trust in fate
After all we've only so many tries

I don't want it all, I just don't wanna crawl
Too great a distance till the fireworks begin
I've no need for a staff, follow only the path
Of least resistance then just sit back and breathe it in

Such is my appetite, I can keep it up all night
Close my eyes imagine, wolves at my door
'Cause when I'm in this deep I don't feel the urge to sleep
Lying here just waiting for something to explore

When cheap is the talk, I prefer just to walk
Although I'm driven, turn the page, walk out the door
But prepared for a fall, I'm still grateful for all
That I've been given, still I feel the need for more

I run to the well until the well runs dry
Or my thirst is finally satisfied
Shake that tree until the bough breaks free
Get myself a good look inside

Curl my fist at every twist of fate
It reminds me that I'm still alive
And I'll keep runnin' to the well
Until the well runs dry

And if I step aside
That means I'm satisfied
All is well but when it's
All been said and done

It's neither black nor white
'Cause even when I'm wrong I'm right
And no-one plays a game that's been
All but played and won

The art of the deal, both excites and appeals
To all my senses, feel it coursing through my veins
I don't feel sublime, I just don't wanna
Climb too many fences that should well enough explain

I run to the well until the well runs dry
Or my thirst is finally satisfied
Shake that tree until the bough breaks free
Get myself a good look inside

Curl my fist at every twist of fate
It reminds me that I'm still alive
And I'll keep runnin' to the well
Until the well runs dry

Run to the well until the well runs dry
Or my thirst is finally satisfied
Shake that tree until the bough breaks free
Get myself a good look inside

Curl my fist at every twist of fate
It reminds me that I'm still alive
And I'll keep runnin' to the well
Until the well runs dry

So here I go again
