"D Is For Drums"

"D Is For Drums"

Hey John.
Oh hey John.
What's going on?
Man, I'm confused.
You're confused, why?
I- I'm no good at remembering stuff.
Really?
Yeah.
Like what?

I can't remember what D is for!
You can't remember what D is for?!

I think it's for an instrument you play in a band.
I'm surprised you can't remember what D is for.

I can't remember there's too much noise.
Put your thinking cap on, I'll give you a hint.

See I can't find my thinking cap, I think it's lost!
John, come on tell me, D is for what?

D is for something that you play with sticks.
That's right, that's right, you're getting close.

D is for Drums, yes D is for Drums!
D is for Drums, yes D is for Drums!

Well, I'm glad we got that straight.
Hey John, I need-
Yeah?
I need some juice.
I've got some juice.
Well, let's go to your house.
Okay. I'll meet you over there.
Okay.
D is for Drums, D is for Drums!

"Dallas (Studio) (Trees)"

Tell the moon you've seen the serpent, found the sword and walked among the trees

Trees

Tell the moon you've seen the serpent, found the sword and walked among the trees

Trip the forest, through the branches on a limb he found a nest of bees

Tell the moon you've seen the serpent, found the sword and walked among the trees

"Damn Good Times"

"Damn Good Times"

I'm not much of a natural dancer
But I've got a friend who's a natural dancer
You could call her a jumpin' bean
She's got ants in her pants and she's gonna dance
I know a girl who's a jumpin' bean
She's got keys and a token when she hits the scene
Yeah I know a girl who's got a record machine
She acts like David Lee Roth when he turned 21

I know a girl who's a natural dancer
With a cape and a hat she's a natural dancer
She coughs and she laughs and she makes a lot of calls
And all of the people applaud
As she leaves the store
As she leaves the store (damn good times)
All of the people applaud (damn good times) As she leaves the store
As she leaves the store (damn good times)
All of the people applaud (damn good times)

Can she do the karaoke? Yes she can, but she won't
'Cause she's highly qualified and she's not a joke
When it comes to opera, she is ossified
So all of you operas better step aside

When my friend got amnesia
She can't remember the show she saw
Like the one with the guy with amnesia
Who got off from the island on a helicopter

I know a girl who's a natural dancer
With a cape and a hat she's a natural dancer
She coughs and she laughs and she makes a lot of calls
And all of the people applaud
As she leaves the store
As she leaves the store (damn good times)
All of the people applaud (damn good times)
As she leaves the store
As she leaves the store (damn good times)
All of the people applaud. (damn good times)

"Dark And Metric"

"Dark And Metric"

No taxi could take you,
No trains rolling by,
No bicycle shop,
No planes in the sky.
Planes in the sky.

Not a night spent in jail,
Parrot on my arm,
Not a man of the world,
No patch on my eye.
Patch on my eye.

Dark and metric is my town,
Every day and night.
Just because you're floating
Doesn't mean you haven't drowned...

No spoiler, no windscoop,
No mag wheels in back,
No hydraulic shocks,
No privacy glass.
Privacy glass.

Dark and metric is my town,
North, east, west, and south.
Just because you're smiling
Doesn't mean you haven't drowned.

"Daylight"

"Daylight"

So here we are

Awake and dreaming
Oh don't look up, there's nothing there

Tilting at tilting things
Let's see what the daylight brings
Let's see what the daylight brings

Who needs diamond rings, picture frames, fancy things,
When paperbacks and radios tell the tale?

So nothing's fair
I'm worse for trying
While your eyes strain to see the air

Tilting at tilting things
Let's see what the daylight brings
Let's see what the daylight brings

"Dead"

"Dead"

I returned a bag of groceries
Accidently taken off the shelf
Before the expiration date
I came back as a bag of groceries
Accidently taken off the shelf
Before the date stamped on myself

Did a large procession wave their (Did a)
Torches as my head fell in the basket, (large pro-)
And was everybody dancing on the casket? (cession dance?)

Now it's over I'm dead and I haven't done anything that I want (now it's over)
Or, I'm still alive and there's nothing I want to do

I will never say the word
"Procrastinate" again; I'll never
See myself in the mirror with my eyes closed
I didn't apologize for
When I was eight and I made my younger brother
Have to be my personal slave

Did a large procession wave their (Did a)
Torches as my head fell in the basket, (large pro-)
And was everybody dancing on the casket? (cession dance?)

Now it's over I'm dead and I haven't done anything that I want (now it's over)
Or, I'm still alive and there's nothing I want to do

(So) So I won't
(Sit) sit at home
(And) anymore
(And) and you won't
(And) see my head in
(And) the window
(And) and I won't
(And) be around
(And) ever anymore
(And) and I'll be up there on the wall at the store

I returned a bag of groceries
Accidently taken off the shelf
Before the expiration date
I came back as a bag of groceries
Accidently taken off the shelf
Before the date stamped on myself

Did a large procession wave their (Did a)
Torches as my head fell in the basket, (large pro-)
And was everybody dancing on the casket? (cession dance?)

Now it's over I'm dead and I haven't done anything that I want (now it's over)
Or, I'm still alive and there's nothing I want to do

Now it's over I'm dead and I haven't done anything that I want (now it's over)
Or, I'm still alive and there's nothing I want to do

"Definition Of Good"

"Definition Of Good"

O o
Definition of good
Clams secretly smiling at clam jokes

O o
Definition of good
Conversations in fake russian accent

Food that’s colored wrong, ping pong balls are eyes
Blanket over the dinner table makes a house
Spin until you fall down, president in a wig
Cardboard box that a large appliance came in

O o
Definition of good
Two flamingos engaging in a fruit fight

O o
Definition of good
Listening to the work of captain beefheart

Paper cup for a snout, everyone in a pile
Mixing pieces from two different board games
Sleeping in the bathtub, candy wax lips
Thing that’s stored in a larger version of itself

O o
Definition of good
Unbelievably real shadow puppets

Masterminding a scheme
Hide and seek with a dog
Arm that stretches around the world and taps your arm

O o
Definition of good
Understanding a complicated puzzle

Laughing at the same thing
Looking into your eyes
Knowing everything that the other is thinking

"Destination Moon"

"Destination Moon"

Don't bother to call this room
There's nobody here who can pick up
Or has stuff they need to talk about
And who won't be now
Checking out and flying

By rocket to the moon
By airplane to the rocket
By taxi to the airport
By front door to the taxi
By throwing back the blanket
Hanging down the legs

Thank you for the card with the cartoon nurse
But you see there's nothing wrong with me
You think, "That's what you think."
"That's what they all say,"
Before I blow you away

By rocket to the moon
By airplane to the rocket
By taxi to the airport
By front door to the taxi
By throwing back the blanket
Hanging down the legs

Soon the man who sweeps the room
Brings the secret telegram:
"COMMENCE OFFICIAL INTERPLANETARY EXPLORATION"

Thank you for the card with the cartoon nurse
But you see there's nothing wrong with me
You think, "That's what you think."
"That's what they all say,"
Before I blow you away

By rocket to the moon
By airplane to the rocket
By taxi to the airport
By front door to the taxi
By throwing back the blanket
Hanging down the legs

By rocket to the moon
Crawl to the rocket
By coughing at the airport
By limping to the taxi
By throwing back the blanket
Hanging down the withered leg
