"I'm Sick (Of This American Life)"

"I'm Sick (Of This American Life)"

Screw kid I got nothing to say
Quit bugging me, go away
High time you realized
I didn't come here to socialize

I'm sick, sick of this american life
And I've learned the value of human sacrifice

I like staring at two glass eyes
Keep them stuffed, museum style
Got alarms set all around
In case they move around

I'm sick, sick of this american life
And I've learned the value of human sacrifice

"I've Got A Fang"

"I've Got A Fang"

Glistening white triangular tooth
Open up a can of tomato juice

I've got a fang
I've got a fang
I've got a fang

Girlfriend took me to meet her dad
He didn't like me because I look so bad

I've got a fang
I've got a fang
I've got a fang

Girlfriend took me to meet her mom
Her head exploded like a atom bomb

I've got a fang
I've got a fang
I've got a fang

I've got a fang
I've got a fang
I've got a fang

Glistening white triangular tooth
Open up a can of tomato juice

I've got a fang
I've got a fang
I've got a fang

"I've Got A Match"

"I've Got A Match"

Get out of the car
Put down the phone
Take off that stupid looking hat you wear
I'm going to die if you touch me one more time
Well I guess that I'm going to die no matter what

Love people are there
The smell of love is everywhere
You think it's always sensitive and good
You think that I want to be understood
I've got a match
Your embrace and my collapse

Beat up the cat if you need someone else on the mat
I put a rock in the coffee in your coffee mug
Which one of us is the one that we can't trust?
You say that I think it's you but I don't agree with that

Love people are there
The smell of love is everywhere
You think it's always sensitive and good
You think that I want to be understood
I've got a match
Your embrace and my collapse
even when we get along
I've got a match
Your embrace and my collapse

Love people are there
The smell of love is everywhere
Why can't you be sensitive and good
Why don't you want to be understood
I've got a match
Your embrace and my collapse
I've got a match
Your embrace and my collapse

"Icky"

"Icky"

Everybody saying "Who's that icky guy?"
I'd like to get to know him
I want to be his best bud"
"No, I do, we can't both be his best bud"

Who's that sucking all the oxygen
Out of the place
First name: getting all up in your
Last name: face
First name: getting all up in your
Last name: face

He's coming over to your house and
Isn't gonna leave till you loan him something
You've got a nice pair of slacks which he takes but
Will only return one of them

Who's that sucking all the oxygen
Out of the place
First name: getting all up in your
Last name: face
First name: getting all up in your
Last name: face

Here, this is yours
I'm done with it, I brought it back
Don't know anything about some other slack
I only borrowed one slack

Who's that knocking over everything
Within reach?
Full-time occupation listed as "life-draining leech"
Who's that sucking all the oxygen
Out of the place
First name: getting all up in your
Last name: face
First name: getting all up in your
Last name: face

"If I Wasn't Shy"

"If I Wasn't Shy"

If I wasn't shy
If I wasn't shy

I'd burn all the uniforms
I'd burn all the "Ask Me" buttons
I'd burn all the intercoms
I'd burn all the time clock cards

If I wasn't shy
If I wasn't shy

I'd steal somebody's Cadillac
I'd steal anything I lack
I'd steal all the microphones
From all the masters of ceremony

If I wasn't shy
If I wasn't shy

I'd ask you, if you don't mind,
To kiss you a hundred times

If I wasn't shy
If I wasn't shy

"Impossible"

"Impossible"

Well, they said I was impossible
Yes, they said I was impossible
And that someone who behaved like me
Couldn't be, couldn't be

But I knew that I was possible
Not completely unbelievable
And the one they said could never be
It was me, it was me

But there's something else they didn't know
You can change your shape and you can grow
Out of nothing into something new
Something made up into something true

Though it happens quite impossibly
The impossible turns out to be
Possibly

Doh-doh doh-doh
Doh-doh doh-doh

Well, I'd like to be an octofish
Yes, I'd like to be an octofish
That's the thing that I would like to be
Octofoo, octofee

But they tell me it's impossible
Yes, they say it is impossible
It's a thing that I can never be
Never be, never be

But there's something else that they won't say
You might be one kind of fish today
But tomorrow everything could change
You could turn into an octoflange
Though it happens quite impossibly
The impossible turns out to be
Possibly

If you wish you had violet hair
That flows from your room down the stair
If you want to run as fast as a car
Or just want to be more like you are

Though it happens quite impossibly
The impossible turns out to be
Possibly

Doh-doh doh-doh
Doh-doh doh-doh

"Impossibly New"

"Impossibly New"

Walking through a world so dated
Made of bones and wood so ancient
Bitter dudes throwing rocks and flipping birds
In this town of rude deceivers
Please make way for two believers
They can’t lie and their arms are open wide

The corner phone booth
In its youth
Loved burning leaves and morning suits
It's true
The only smokestack coming back is me for you
With love that’s impossibly new

As we gather round the campfire
Telling tales of local vampires
Don’t get scared of the shadows over there

Two for once
We’ll have a ball
Run thru the sodium pentathol
It’s true
The only smokestack coming back is me for you
With love that’s impossibly new
Impossibly new

"In Fact"

"In Fact"

I'm a mess
Even at my best
I'm dismantling my chances
Even as I win
A bunch
I got tripwires to finesse
I'm a mess

Now I ain't right
If there's a test tonight
I will ask for an extension
As I slide my desk
A bit
Toward the conman dressed in white
I ain't right

In fact it's messier still
That mess is a hook that drags me along
And now that mess has an entourage
All dressed in dungarees
What went wrong?

I confess
And like a chess piece, yes
I have rolled under your piano
That you don't play
A lot
But I'm sorry, I digress
I'm a mess

So let me out
Don't want to be your mouse
I want to find a softer spot
For my crash landing
Not much to talk about
Let me out

In fact it's messier still
That mess on the loose and leading the mob
They march with pitchforks and torches now
They have your old ID disavow

"In The Middle, In The Middle, In The Middle"

"In The Middle, In The Middle, In The Middle"

Don't cross the street in the middle in the middle
In the middle in the middle in the middle of the block
Don't cross the street in the middle in the middle
In the middle in the middle in the middle of the block

Use your eyes to look up
Use your ears to hear
Walk up to the corner when the coast is clear
And wait And wait Until you see the light turn green

Don't cross the street in the middle in the middle
In the middle in the middle in the middle of the block

Don't cross the street in the middle in the middle
In the middle in the middle in the middle of the block

Don't cross the street in the middle in the middle
In the middle in the middle in the middle of the block

Use your eyes to look up
Use your ears to hear
Walk up to the corner when the coast is clear
And wait And wait Until you see the light turn green

Don't cross the street in the middle in the middle
In the middle in the middle in the middle of the block

Don't cross the street in the middle in the middle
In the middle in the middle in the middle of the block

"Infinity"

"Infinity"

I can count up to five, I can count to ten
Count on my nose a hundred times, I'd rather not again
Twenty is easy and a hundred, no sweat
But there's one number I just can't get

Infinity, infinity
How can I reach infinity?
Well, I count up all day and then one more just to see
But when will I reach infinity?

Well, with tons of patience and even more smarts
I count above a hundred thousand million billion trillion illion
Race to the moon and back again
I'm catching up. You know, I might win

Infinity, infinity
How can I reach infinity?
It's the highest number there could possibly be
But I'm gonna reach infinity

If I chase my tail and follow its tracks
If I run around in circles I'll never make it back
Oh, figure of eight goes around, around, around, around, around, around, around, around, around, around, around, around, around, around, around, around, around

Infinity, infinity
Who's gonna beat infinity?
So add it up, I just might win
If you help me figure out just where it ends and it begins
Then I just might catch
And you just might see
That I'm gonna reach infinity
