"I Am A Paleontologist"

"I Am A Paleontologist"

I love diggin' in the dirt
With just a pick and brush
Finding fossils is my aim
So I'm never in a rush
'Cause the treasures that I seek
Are rare and ancient things
Like Velociraptor's jaw
Or Archaeopteryx's wings

Now all the kids
Who wanna see 'em
Are lining up
At our museum

I am a paleontologist
That's who I am, that's who I am, that's who I am
I am a paleontologist
That's who I am, that's who I am, that's who I am

Could it be an herbivore
Crushing plants with rounded teeth
Or ferocious carnivore
Who moves so quickly on its feet
It's like pieces of a puzzle
That I love to try and solve
It's so fun to think about
How a species has evolved

And all the kids
Who wanna see 'em
Can check 'em out
At our museum

I am a paleontologist
That's who I am, that's who I am, that's who I am
I am a paleontologist
That's who I am, that's who I am, that's who I am

Is it a T-rex? (I keep digging, digging, digging, digging)
(Digging, digging, digging, digging)
Maybe a Triceratops? (Digging, digging, digging, digging)
(Digging, digging, digging, digging)
Or a Carnotaur? (Digging, digging, digging, digging)
(Digging, digging, digging, digging)
(Digging, digging, digging, digging, diggin')
Pachycephalosaurus?

I am a paleontologist
That's who I am, that's who I am, that's who I am
I am a paleontologist
That's who I am, that's who I am, that's who I am
That's who I am, that's who I am, that's who I am
That's who I am, that's who I am, that's who I am

"I Am Alone"

"I Am Alone"

Thank you for going back in time
And thwarting my assassin
And while we’re laughing about it
I know you didn’t really do that
This was a test and you failed

Before you fire I should inform you
One of us is a double
I took the trouble to swap ties
Somebody taps you on the shoulder
You don't know who is your friend

Let’s all just take a deep breath
And slowly lower our weapons to the floor

I am alone in the three part folding mirror
On the bathroom door
I am alone in the three part folding mirror
On the bathroom door

Everyone take off your disguises
I see you and your brother
Dressed as each other this time
So now it appears the double crossers
Have been too clever by half

The fox has been outfoxed again
The row of smug expressions
All arrayed around are wiped away so

Let’s all just take a deep breath
And slowly lower our weapons to the floor

I am alone in the three part folding mirror
On the bathroom door
I am alone in the three part folding mirror
On the bathroom door
I'm by myself in the three part folding mirror
On the bathroom door

"I Am Invisible"

"I Am Invisible"

Just an inch away from your face
I am staring into your eyes
You would be surprised if you could see
What’s an inch from your face
But it’s impossible
I am invisible

Tiptoeing and holding my breath
Almost knocking over a lamp

Barely able to contain a sneeze
I am invisible
I am invisible
I am invisible

Did you notice something?
Was there somebody there?
No apparently not.
There you felt it again
Something creeping around
That you can’t see

Doing jumping jacks in the bank
Dancing through the supermarket
Spinning in the courtroom on one leg
I am invisible
I am invisible
I am invisible

There are details
That I haven’t worked out
Like when I eat my lunch
Does it disappear
Or do you see it going all the way down?

Did the cat just learn how to fly?
No I’m only holding him up
Did the cat turn on the dishwasher?
No I’m holding his paw
Pushing down on the switch
Making it look like he’s
Doing it by himself
Cause I’m invisible
I am invisible
I am invisible

"I Am Not Your Broom"

"I Am Not Your Broom"

Now broom you must now sweep for me
The dust it fills my room

No john i will not sweep for you
For i am not your broom

What nonsense are you speaking broom?
My words you must obey

Another life awaits me
And im leaving you today
I am not your broom
I am not your broom
I've had enough im throwin off
My chains of servitude
I am not your broom
I am not your broom
No longer must i sweep for you
For i am not your broom

"I Blame You"

"I Blame You"

Ten miles from nowhere
There's a story that's true
About a fine girl
And a boy just like you
They fell so deeply
But then fell apart
Now they say the same words
Of what used to be
What used to be

I blame you (I blame you)
I blame you (I blame you)
I blame you (I blame you)

He drops his car keys
And crawls on the ground
Finds her old haircomb
She'd wear into town
Can't bear to keep it
Or throw it away
Gets back down on his kness
Put it back where it lay
Back where it lay

I blame you (I blame you)
I blame you (I blame you)
I blame you (I blame you)

"I Can Add"

"I Can Add"

Paper out, pencils raised.
One plus one is two,
Two plus two is four,
Four plus four is eight,
And eight plus eight is sixteen.

I can add, I can add.
I can add, I can add.

"I don't even know Spanish,
But I'm gonna sing it in Spanish, now!"

Uno mas uno es dos.
Dos mas dos son cuatro.
Cuatro mas cuatro son ocho.
Ocho mas ocho son dieciseis.

I can add, I can add.
I can add, I can add.

Two kids countin' plus one kid countin'
Equals three kids countin'.
Three kids countin' plus two kids countin'
Equals five kids countin'!

One plus one is two,
Two plus two is four,
Four plus four is eight,
And eight plus eight is sixteen.

I can add, I can add.
I can add, I can add.

"Alright, two plus one is three,
Three plus one is four,
And four plus one is five.
I'm gettin' it!
I'm gettin' good at this!"

"I Can Hear You"

"I Can Hear You"

I Can Hear You by They Might Be Giants. Made at the Edison Laboratories.

I can hear you
Just barely hear you
I can just barely hear you

This is a warning
Step away from the car
This car is protected by Viper

Guess where I am
I'm calling from the plane
I'll call you when I get there

You won't hear a buzz
But I'm buzzing you in
I'm buzzing you in

What's your order?
I can super-size that
Please bring your car around

I can hear you
Just barely hear you
I can just barely hear you

"I Can Help The Next In Line"

"I Can Help The Next In Line"

I can help the next in line
Have you been with us before?
I can help the next in line
I don’t think I like your tone

I am going to have to ask you now to take a walk with me
Put your hands where I can see them I will need to see ID

I can help the next in line
Do we have a problem here?
I can help the next in line
If you would walk this way we’ll settle this now
Have you been with us in the past?

I can help the next one in line
I don’t think that I like your tone
I can help the next one in line

"I Can't Hide From My Mind"

"I Can't Hide From My Mind"

I've got my house surrounded
I know I'm in there
Come out with both my hands up
And don't make me come in and get me
Don't make me come in and get me

I can't hide from my mind
Though I try, try, try
I can't hide from my mind
And you know why

Running against the traffic
To find where I lost you
I'm catching up to the echos
And I hear your voice from the buildings
I hear your voice from the buildings

I can't hide from my mind
Though I try, try, try
I can't hide from my mind
And you know why

The bars are in my eyes
And kisses make you cry
Smiles turned out misleading
And memory's a lie

I've got my house surrounded
I know I'm in there
Come out with both my hands up
And don't make me come in and get me
Don't make me come in and get me
Don't make me come in and get me
