LIKE AN ALMOND JOY LYRICS
Bar after bar, chasing sweet tooth
And a chimp to boot
Chocolate chimp to boot
Have an Almond Joy
Sticky chocolate toy
Have an Almond Joy
Very pudgy boy
With his monkey toy
Have an Almond Joy
He's a roly poly boy
With his Almond Joy
Yeah, run run to the store
Snatch some more, your painful hoard
Candy chimp to boot
Mother says Pug, way too much
For a body to use
You got the Sugar Blues
A.L.M.O.N.D.
Candy chimp to boot
A.L.M.O.N.D.
Candy cigs to boot
Have an Almond Joy
Pudgy little boy
Have an Almond Joy
Fill his heart with joy
Roly poly boy
Like an Almond Joy
Like an Almond Joy
Run, run to Dr. Smith
Eyeballs burn, glycemic fit
Yellow skin observed, barely says a word
Can't find a vein, keep trying again
Gotta take the pain, keep trying again
Bar after bar, chasing sweet tooth
Candy chimp to boot
A.L.M.O.N.D.
Candy Corn to boot
A.L.M.O.N.D.
Candy cigs to boot
Have an Almond Joy
Pudgy little boy
Have an Almond Joy
With his monkey toy
Roly poly boy
Like an Almond Joy
Like an Almond Joy
Run, run home to rest
Bedtime rags, cold compress
Yellow fever spikes, you're a sweaty guy
All your candy's gone, will you never learn
No matter what you eat, it will soon return
Yellow skin observed, barely says a word
Can't find a vein, keep trying again
Gotta take the pain, keep trying again
Gotta take the pain, keep trying again
Yellow skin observed, barely says a word
Yellow fever spikes, you're a sweaty guy
All your candy's gone, will you never learn...

BACKBONE LYRICS
Unfortunate attraction to the swastika
Unfortunate attraction to the pageantry of Nazi times
Unfortunate confinement to a Catholic school
We knew our Nazi armbands truly bugged the nuns
But Elmwood caused a glitch when he refused the Oath
'Cos Jews never did a thing to him
"Jews never did a thing to me!"
I'd never seen someone so unafraid to scorn the schoolyard conformity
Young Elmwood, independent minded
Young Elmwood, Independent Thinker
Backbone
He had backbone
Showed us his backbone
I really couldn't say from where this backbone came
Young Elmwood he never seemed to take the bait
I drew an ugly portrait and he blew it off, blew it off
I drew another and he sent me back
A Peter Max neutral face
Elmwood never took the bait
Backbone
I call that backbone
But we met the Unknown
At the pool party aftermath
With Sexy Josie lying right across our laps
Nothing that we'd know yet could compete with that
Compete with that
Backbone, he had
Backbone, showed us his
Backbone, wish I had
Backbone
Backbone, he had
Backbone, showed us his
Backbone, wish I had some
Backbone

Beetle's Secret Pact

Beetle was built from a drum track I stole (with permission) from a group called The Civil Union and their song “Afraid.” I looped it up and then improvised over the beat until I got something I liked.

MANIAC CHASING ME LYRICS
Maniac chasing me
Down the late night street
Chase someone else
Maniac chasing me
Down the street
So sweaty and hot
Chase someone else
Fighting with my girlfriend
And my son accuses me of being cheap
And the girl at this camp
Wants me to buy a hat
I didn't want to
Couldn't afford it anyway
And they didn't take cards
They didn't take cards

DOUBLING DOWN WITH UNCLE DOUG LYRICS
Double down, double down
Uncle Doug he comes, he says
He wants to double down, double down
Double down, double down
Uncle Doug he comes, he says
He needs to double down
Double down, double down
Uncle Doug he comes, he says he's
Got to double it down, double down

THE HOUSE WATCHER LYRICS
There I was, on the porch of the neighbor’s house
The house that still haunts my dreams
But the 80 year old caretaker
Had not been told to ex-pect me
Me and my cameraman
Were a threat-en-ing force to her
So she..
Wouldn’t let us into the backyard
Where the
New owner promised me that
I could
Capture photos that might capture the souls there
In the backyard
But the back yard held tightly to its ground
And its secrets never found
And that night
I had a nightmare that my Father
Was digging the soil of that yard
And sifting the dirt so carefully
Shattered lives, and unmet needs
Like the way that he used to do compost
But he
Made his compost in our backyard
By the
Bone Graveyard, filled with cats and iguanas
That Louise
Adopted ’til they died
And buried them illegally outside

THE BIKE LYRICS
The bike was standing up
When he walked away
The bike was laying down
When he returned, when he returned
The bike was draining fluid
When he knelt down to it
And the Shopkeeper saw what occurred
Said it was no Joyride
"You didn't secure your brand new bike right."

BOARDWALK / BLEEDING LYRICS
Oooh
Boardwalk at dusk
With the world's greatest bar hamburgers, bar none
World's greatest hamburgers,
I'm barred from having one
Oooh
Boardwalk at dawn
With the old bums and the young Moms
Nobody knows who they belong to
Nobody knows where they go
after they come through
Bleeding nose liberal, trompin' through the house
Clutching toilet paper, neither vegetable nor mineral
Bleeding nose liberal
Bleeding nose liberal
Bleeding nose liberal stumbles blindly through the house
Bleeding nose liberal begs his girlfriend for a way that he can
Staunch the flow of his precious blood
"This is my blood
The blood that issues from me
The blood of the new and
Everlasting nosebleed."
Bleeding nose liberal
Casual blasphemy is part of his deal
Staunch the precious flow of his blood
Staunch the frecious plow of his blood

COMMA VISIT HOLLYWOOD LYRICS
Comma visit Hollywood
Hollywood, Hollywood
We have lots of tourist shops for you
High-priced dispensararies that only Rappers use
And so will you
And you know sometimes it's hot in Hollywood
Hollywood
Comma visit Hollywood
Hollywood, Hollywood
We got...
Lindsay Lohan, and Wonky's out tonight
Going to the Roosevelt, they only want a good time
And so will you
in Hollywood
Comma visit Hollywood
Hollywood, Hollywood
Comma visit Hollywood
This is where my parents grew up
In the silver screen Golden Age
That's all gone now, but you know you could
Live in Hollywood
Weather's good
Here in Hollywood
Hollywood!

SOON WE'LL BE ON THE ROAD LYRICS
Soon we'll be on the road
Chopsticks playing
Soon we'll be flying on the 5
Past Cowland
It's a stinky prison
There's no grass where they can graze
Stopping at the Rest Stop
Hoping the toilets work
I'll pee in the grass if I have to
Maybe take a walk
It's 30 minutes if you go slow
And avoid the Big Rigs

Claire has left
Her water container and booklet there
Claire has left
She's off to the bathroom
Or who knows where
Claire has claimed
Her territory under her name
Claire has left the building again
And woe betide any who think
They can make Claire hurry off her treadmill
Claire has said
That if she leaves it's only going to be
A short little break in her workout day
But Claire does know
That people are waiting
In fact there's a list that stretches down
To the middle of the whiteboard there
the whiteboard there
the whiteboard there
Why does Claire
Get a pass when
everybody else must follow the rules
I don't know

PRETTY SHANDA SMITH LYRICS
You can see her in the Quad
Checking her phone
You can see her at the House of Pancakes
Sitting alone
Or maybe not
'Cos sometimes she watches her figure
And sometimes she lets the college boys
Do it for her
Pretty Shanda Smith
And you won't know when the time is right
Is it tonight?
And you never seem to know
When the moon shines bright
To light your path to her
To declare your love for all things to do with
Pretty Shanda Smith
Pretty Shanda Smith
