It seems like you're running out of air Coughing up words that leave your mouth exposed and bare You ought to think twice about your ego and age We're oral children performing on stage Should turn a new page She's the girl with her head c*cked right And her hands clenched tight Yeah, she's losing her grip She's the girl who speaks her mind And she's dressed to the nines in her Freudian slip I asked about her date, she said it wasn't half bad. She said they stayed out 'til ten o'clock And that his name was Brad Maybe you need to speak to someone Or take some time off to walk in the sun Or you'll come undone She's the girl with her head c*cked right And her hands clenched tight Yeah, she's losing her grip She's the girl who speaks her mind And she's dressed to the nines in her Freudian slip

Just In Case 04:09
Just in case you get thrown to the ground, You'll need to pull yourself together. It's bad enough when your thread's tightly wound, and you can't bounce back from the kick in your step. Well I've been there before, Couldn't fit through the door, Like that thousand-pound Mexican man. So I say, give me my cake before I cannot take anymore. You're gonna need a fresh pair of underwear Just in case. Just in case. You're gonna need a fresh pair of underwear Just in case you get scared, If you get scared you just might mess your pants. Mess your pants. Just in case you get lost in the woods, You'll need some crumbs to get your bearings. And if you meet up with a big hungry bear, You just lay yourself right down on the ground. You can't fight, you can't run, It's not right, it's no fun. When she growls at you, you'd better pray. But if you feed her a beat and a glow stick, It might be OK. You're gonna need a fresh pair of underwear Just in case. Just in case. You're gonna need a fresh pair of underwear Just in case you get scared, If you get scared you just might mess your pants. Mess your pants. You're gonna need a fresh pair of underwear You're gonna need a fresh pair of underwear Ahhhhh... Ahhhhh... Just in case you get pulled to the ground Get yourself together, get yourself together.

Petting Zoo 03:49
Baby you can be my petting zoo Visit on a Sunday afternoon Spend the whole day just touching you There's nothing that I'd rather do But there's a wire fence between us And you're distracted by another lamb And when I press my nose against the fence, You walk away. But I'm not some little child I won't cry and give up so fast. I know the gates are closing, But I'm coming back tomorrow. Baby, you can be my petting zoo Visit on a Sunday afternoon Spend the whole day just touching you There's nothing that I'd rather do And if that wire fence is worn out, I will find the gaping hole. When I cross over to your side, I don't care if they all stare. They can throw trash and mistreat us, Stick out their tongues but they won't defeat us. I'd rather be in prison as long as you are with me. Baby, you can be my petting zoo Visit on a Sunday afternoon Spend the whole day just touching you There's nothing that I'd rather do You don't have fur, and you smell so nice, So unlike the other sheep. You're civilized, and your talk makes sense Wish I could carry you across that fence. Wish you were more than just a petting zoo, Tear down this fence and you can touch me too. Spend my time getting old with you, There's nothing I would rather do There's nothing I would rather do

I don't know what love is, But I'm sure about one thing: And that's that men have only themselves to please. When they make love, they look in the mirror. And they see what they wanna see. Girl, you must save yourself from their juvenile disease. Wash your hands, wear a mask. Get yourself some: MAN SANITIZER Protect yourself from the pain and sorrow MAN SANITIZER It's what you need to save you from the sting Well they cut you into pieces, And they just might leave a scar. When the wound heals, you'll never be the same. Take a pill, ward them off. Shield yourself with: MAN SANITIZER Contagious lies lead to infection MAN SANITIZER Is what you need to save you from the sting MAN SANITIZER Protect yourself from the pain and sorrow MAN SANITIZER It's what you need to save you from the sting To save you from the sting MAN SANITIZER MAN SANITIZER MAN SANITIZER To save you from the sting

It starts in a place in our hearts I often wonder when it all came apart Sad, sad songs on the radio Following life on a TV show I know there's got to be more to this life than we know... Life's not living 'til you live in corduroy dreams With a ribbon tied around your waistline We're like children, looking for a good time Day and night you skip in time In time we commit suicide Trade flesh for fantasy Lose touch with reality I don't know where the world is now, I don't know when or why or how You don't close the book When you've got several hundred pages to go Oh, life's not living 'til you live in corduroy dreams With a ribbon tied around your waistline We're like children, looking for a good time Day and night you skip in time

Just one look was all it took You sank my hook, my body shook The church bells rang, the bombs went bang You moved my rook, you read my book But who is he, all fancy free, Galileo Galilee, where's the hemlock tree? You got a boyfriend so I think I better go I sink so low I can't feel my toe. Beautiful and unavailable Beautiful and unavailable Beautiful and unavailable Beautiful and unavailable Razor-sharp wit with a body that won't quit You got my fire lit but now I must acquit Rude like Andy Warhol, lewd like RuPaul Cook like Alton Brown, so smart like Ezra Pound But who's that guy with the twinkle in his eye? The lilt in his step, and his ass so round? I can't take it, gotta walk away Why you at this club, come back alone some day. Beautiful and unavailable Beautiful and unavailable Beautiful and unavailable Beautiful and unavailable

Chasing ducks in a long green field, Our life's elliptical I guess that's radical. Chasing ducks in a long green field, While hearts are magically entwined. I remember chasing ducks when I was just a small boy Or was it just an image from the Fotomat store? And every time I'd get too close, The ducks would honk and run away Now the memory's clearer than it ever was before Chasing ducks with my nephew Leo, Life is passing by It makes me want to cry Chasing ducks in a long green field While hearts are magically entwined He trips and falls as he tries to stomp on them, He's King Kong in a onesie I just watch and if I want a duck I'll get one at the grocery Chasing ducks in a long green field Our life's elliptical Oh look, he slipped and fell. Chasing ducks in a long green field, While hearts are magically entwined.

My heart is thick and absorbent, and warm to touch It swells like a river, the blood can rush so fast It can rush so fast But are limits to what my heart can take And there are times when it's about to break When the levee starts to overflow, it's time for you to go. Gather the townspeople to carry the sandbags The proper ladies need to put down their handbags You can try to wring it out, but beware the undertow. My love, take away the hurt love. Take some of my pain, love. Soon it's gonna rain, love, Soon it's gonna rain. My heart is thick and absorbent, and warm to touch It swells like a river, the blood can rush so fast It can rush so fast Good, God, I hope that you can leave on your own time 'Cause it's not pretty when the bounty is bone dry Get aboard the ark and float, But beware the undertow. My love, take away the hurt love. Take some of my pain, love. Soon it's gonna rain, love, Soon it's gonna rain. My heart is thick and absorbent, and warm to touch It swells like a river, the blood can rush so fast It can rush so fast Soon it's gonna rain. Soon it's gonna rain.

Twilight shiver bearing down I feel like curling up in your arms In the twilight, under the moonlight Where are you now? There was a time when I was lost I fear those days are on their way back I'm in a station waiting too long for a ride Or am I hogtied to the track? Where did you run to? I'm all alone You lit a fire but now I'm in the cold And the sun's going down Twilight shiver bearing down I feel like curling up in your arms In the twilight, under the moonlight Where are you now? I hear a rustling in the leaves I see taillights of an old Mercedes up ahead The foggy windows, they convey A safety that I used to know But now I'm scared I'll be alone I lost my bearings, I lost my friend The warmth of summer's coming to again And a cold wind's blowing Twilight shiver bearing down I feel like curling up in your arms In the twilight, under the moonlight Where are you now? Where are you now? Twilight shiver bearing down

about

On a whim, I asked my Facebook friends to suggest song titles for an album. Of course I procrastinated, sometimes working hard, sometimes letting months go by. But I finally decided it was ready to go, so...voila. Facebook Songs.
