Let's go backwards to destroy the past
How long will your oxygen last?

"Didn't Kill Me"

"Didn't Kill Me"


Though she didn't kill me
She didn't make me stronger
Though she didn't kill me
Some parts didn't mend

She shut down the sweet talk
I sure felt like a goner
When she shut down the sweet talk
I thought that was the end

"Dig My Grave"


Dig my grave
Dig my grave

Every time I look in your eyes
I see St. Peter wave

Dig my grave
Dig my grave

Every time you call my name
I hear the angels say

"Dig my grave"
Dig my grave
Dig my grave
Dig my grave
Dig my grave

"Dirt Bike"

"Dirt Bike"


Here comes the dirt bike
Beware of the dirt bike
Because I hear they're coming to our town
They've got plans for everyone
And now I hear they're over their sophomore jinx, so you had better check it out

All hail the dirt bike
Philosopher dirt bike
Silence as we gathered round
We saw the word and were on our way
Now it's

Brain washing dirt bike
Ground shaking dirt bike
Mind bending dirt bike
In control

Soul crushing dirt bike
Self propelled dirt bike
You see I never thought I'd understand
'Til that bike took me by the hand
Now I ride
Ride
Ride

"Disappointing Show"

"Disappointing Show"


[Mr. John Flansburgh]
"This, uh, song. This song is called other show. Other kind of show. It's called 'Disappointing Show.'"
Disappointing show
I saw it
Disappointing show
Man those guys blow
Disappointing show
Get your shit together
Disappointing show
Man those guys blow

[Flansburgh]
"On the drums, Mr. Joseph Stalin on the drums, ladies and gentlemen, man.
Some other guy on the bass. Check him out. Whoa!
Slow down, slow down. Oh, on the guitar, yeah, that's... play it, son. Yeah."
Disappointing show, yeah
Man, those guys blow
I tried to sing along
Then it all went wrong
Disappointing show
Then the next song came on
That's when it all went wrong
And the PA fell on the crowd
Then the cops came
And took us away
For an extended period of questioning about the PA
What went wrong?
Should've rehearsed more
And talked about the song sequence
Disappointing show

[Flansburgh]
"Ladies and gentlemen!"

[Mr. John Linnell]
"Ladies and gentlemen..."

"Diving Board"

"Diving Board"


(Ho ho-ho, ho ho-ho)
(Ho ho-ho, ho ho-ho)

The diving board can sense the pool
The scent of water down below
The swimming pool can see the board
Refracted through the gentle waves

The diving board can sense the pool
The diving board can smell the pool
The swimming pool can see the board
The diving board can sense the pool

The chemical perfume reveals
A massive chlorinated lake
The undulating shape above
To her is unmistakable

The diving board can sense the pool
The diving board can smell the pool
The swimming pool can see the board
The diving board can sense the pool

Something overhead is suspended there
There's a muffled bounce
Something starts to fall

He doesn't need to see or touch
To know each intimate detail
She holds the image of him there
And in this way possesses him

The diving board can sense the pool
The diving board can smell the pool
The swimming pool can see the board
The diving board can sense the pool (the swimming pool)

Diving board
Diving board (the swimming pool)
Diving board
Diving board (the swimming pool)
Diving board
Diving board (the swimming pool)
Diving board
Diving board

(Ho ho-ho, ho ho-ho)
(Ho ho-ho, ho ho-ho)
(Ho ho-ho, ho ho-ho)
(Ho ho-ho, ho ho-ho)

"Doctor Worm"

"Doctor Worm"


They call me Dr. Worm.
Good morning. how are you? I'm Dr. Worm.
I'm interested in things.
I'm not a real doctor,
But I am a real worm;
I am an actual worm.
I live like a worm.

I like to play the drums.
I think I'm getting good,
But I can handle criticism.
I'll show you what I know,
And you can tell me if you think I'm getting better on the drums.
I'll leave the front un-locked 'cause I can't
Hear the doorbell

When I get into it I can't tell if you are
Watching me twirling the stick.
When I give the signal, my friend
Rabbi vole will play the solo

Some day somebody else besides me will
Call me by my stage name, they will
Call me dr worm.
Good morning how are you, I'm dr worm
I'm interested in things.
I'm not a real doctor,
But I am a real worm;
I am an actual worm.
I live like a worm.

I like to play the drums.
I think I'm getting good,
But I can handle criticism.
I'll show you what I know,
And you can tell me if you think I'm getting better on the drums.
I'm not a real doctor,
But they call me Dr. Worm.

"Dog Walker"


Showdown at The Battery
Showdown at The Battery now
Showdown at The Battery, showdown

Put down that snowball now
Got no inclination to play around
Must be hard for you draculas
But nobody's scared of you

I take the long way home
Stay realistic and stay awake
My mind is a wrecking ball
And someday my mind's gonna wreck all y'all
(All y'all)

Showdown at The Battery
Showdown at The Battery now
Showdown at The Battery, showdown

Can you choose your weapon please?
Don't you know, I come prepared
I am a dog walker
But someday I'll be a dog
