Last Stop on the Merry-Go-Round
Last stop on the Merry-Go-Round
Am I here or upside down?
I just wanna ride it one more time…..
Just like before
Maybe you just picked the wrong parents
Such a long, long, time ago
But you know you won’t hold on forever
Just like before
Last stop on the Merry-Go-Round
Coward
Yeah, I’m a coward
You say it like it’s a bad thing
You know you gotta go with something you know
And my alcoholic friends are better than your alcoholic friends
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
And my alcoholic friends are better than your alcoholic friends
Yeah, I’m a coward
You know it just comes naturally
No special training, no correspondence course
And my alcoholic friends are better than your alcoholic friends
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
And my alcoholic friends are better than your alcoholic friends
Yeah, I’m a coward
You say it like it’s a bad thing
You know you gotta go with something you know
And my alcoholic friends are better than your alcoholic friends
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
And my alcoholic friends are better than your alcoholic friends
Your alcoholic friends
The Loneliest Girl in the World
She hasn’t got the strength to lift her head from the bed
Consequently you won’t see me pitching in
Lying on the couch softly curled
The loneliest girl in the world
She doesn’t want to do just what her mother did
Cause she doesn’t like women’s lib
Lying on the couch softly curled
The loneliest girl in the world
Are you ready to pick out china patterns?
Don’t they think you know what you’re doing?
She hasn’t got the strength to lift her head from the bed
Consequently you won’t see me pitching in
Lying on the couch softly curled
The loneliest girl in the world
The Boy with the Plexiglas Head
The boy with the Plexiglas head has a definite problem
Everyone can read his mind but he can’t seem to get out of his head
It’s just a box meant to keep everything from falling out
Poor, poor boy
A clean, soft cloth won’t help you now
The boy with the Plexiglas head
Can’t keep his mind on things
He’s paranoid about what people might think
The boy with the Plexiglas head
Knows his thoughts will escape him
With nothing to stop them
Not even his skin
It’s just a box meant to keep everything from falling out
Poor, poor boy
A clean, soft cloth won’t help you now
Poor, poor boy
A long-sleeved coat won’t help you now
A burst of energy won’t help you now
One tiny pill won’t help you now
The boy with the Plexiglas head has a definite problem
Everyone can read his mind but he can’t seem to get out of his head
It’s just a box meant to keep everything from falling out
Poor, poor boy
A clean, soft cloth won’t help you now
Ted’s Place
Five days of reality is more than I can take
I’ll bet you looked pretty good back in the day
And that’s the last thing she needs to hear
So she’ll go back to crying in her beer
You look really good
From really, really, really, really far away
If I get far enough you’ll be gorgeous
I’ve been drinking
All night and day
Drinking ‘till I can’t drink no more
Is it just me or is this place getting crowded?
Or am I just seeing double?
You look really good
From really, really, really, really far away
If I get far enough you’ll be gorgeous
Family reunion
We’re gonna need another shovel
Hey, where did everybody go?
Family reunion
We’re gonna need another shovel
Buy another round and I’ll be on my way
Five days of reality is more than I can take
I’ll bet you looked pretty good back in the day
And that’s the last thing she needs to hear
So she’ll go back to crying in her beer
You look really good
From really, really, really, really far away
If I get far enough you’ll be gorgeous
Heather to Fall
I know a girl named Heather
She’s got my friend in a real bad way
He talks about her always
Heather to Fall
I’ve got a friend named Joe
Thinks he’s in love but he’s really obsessed
He talks about her always
Heather to Fall
I don’t mean to sound so cynical
It wouldn’t have to be so clinical
But there should be some way to arrange it
So my girl can’t become a free agent
Still tries to show he’s no average Joe
Seems like we don’t see his face anymore
Sits by his phone and waits for her call
Heather to Fall
Dear Julia
Dear Julia
I wish I would have written you sooner
But I don’t know what to say and I don’t know what to say
When I don’t know what to say and I don’t know what to say
Dear Julia
I’m trying to make it clearer
Dear Julia
I’m trying to make it clearer
But I don’t know how to say
What I don’t how to say
Don’t worry
Don’t be in such a hurry
We’ve got nothing but time
Dear Julia
I wish I had told you sooner
But I don’t know a way to find the words to say
Don’t worry
Don’t be in such a hurry
We’ve got nothing but time
Dear Julia
I wish I would have written you sooner
But I don’t know what to say and I don’t know what to say
When I don’t know what to say and I don’t know what to say
I always thought I’d tell her tomorrow
Houdini of Love
Just like Spiderman he won’t be trapped in web of his own lies
And just like Ironman you won’t get through his tough exterior
On and on, and on and on, and on and on
He goes through feelings
On and on, and on and on, and on and on
He won’t relent
He did it again
How did he escape?
He’s Superman
Without a cape
Houdini of Love
Just like the Incredible Hulk
Don’t be surprised when he changes before your eyes
And just like he done before
Don’t be surprised when he’s gone in a flash
On and on, and on and on, and on and on
He goes through feelings
On and on, and on and on, and on and on
He won’t relent
He did it again
How did he escape?
He’s Superman
Without a cape
Houdini of Love
Houdini of Love
Rodeo
Welcome to the rodeo
I hope you have a real good time
And while you’re here don’t you worry about a thing
All the smiling faces looking right at you
Welcome to the rodeo
Looks like you got here just in time
There’s lots of things for a little boy like you
All the smiling faces looking right at you
Looking back on all the things we used to do
Makes me feel like we were somewhere else
And looking back at all the people I once knew
Makes me wonder where they’ve all gone
Welcome to the rodeo
I guess you’re wondering why you’re here
But while you’re here don’t you worry about a thing
All the smiling faces looking right at you
Looking back on all the things we used to do
Makes me feel like we were somewhere else
And looking back at all the people I once knew
Makes me wonder where they’ve all gone
Gene Pool Party
Gene Pool Party
Hey let’s drop another bomb
DNA strands twisting the night away
Gene Pool Party
Oops there goes another spill
Deoxyribonucleic acid all over the floor
One eye two eye three eye four
Some have one nose
But some have more
Gene Pool Party
Clean it up with paper towels
Big reactor glowing like a thousand suns
No need to get excited
It’s just a little glitch
It’s just a bad microwave
Don’t worry, we’ll get that fixed
Gene Pool Party
Just like it happened before
Homer Simpson sleeping on the job again
Gene Pool Party
Hey let’s drop another bomb
DNA

Killing Time
We’ll throw you in the slammer
Just for killing time
Slap the handcuffs on you
If you can’t make up your mind
Give me solitary
Just water and a crust
I’ll pace the floors all night
And kick up all of the dust
We’ll give you back your money
If you’d only go away
Or take the handcuffs off you
If only for a day
Give me solitary
A place to hang my head
I’ll pace the floors all night
Between the living and the dead
Show me all the options
Blur my tired eyes
Tell me all my choices
Fog my tired mind
We’ll throw you in the slammer
Just for killing time
Slap the handcuffs on you
If you can’t make up your mind
Give me solitary
Just water and a crust
I’ll pace the floors all night
And kick up all of the dust
I’m Not Over You (I’m Under You)
When I think about it
Don’t know what to do about it
When I dream about it
I don’t know how to talk about it
I’m not over you
I’m under you
Every time I try to forget you
Something in my mind won’t let me
Every face I seem to run into to
Every time I look, it’s still you
I’m not over you
I’m under you
Nonsense Patrol
I’m running with the nonsense patrol
Take yourself lightly
Take yourself lightly
I’m screwing up the best that I can
Take yourself lightly
Take yourself lightly
I’ll come back to haunt you
Mark your calendar
Let me tell you some more lies
From the big book in the corner
I’m ignoring it as much as I can
Take yourself lightly
Take yourself lightly
Take yourself lightly
Take yourself lightly
Green with Envy
Snippy bitches with teacup fingers
Perfume sense but odors linger
Clutching at the strings of the purse
King Midas in reverse
Fading queens from a prior age
All will scamper to the center stage
Clutching at the strings of the purse
“Oh, my beauty is my curse”
Round and round it goes
And where it stops … nobody knows
Once the queen you’ll last as long
Till the younger one comes along
Snippy bitches with teacup fingers
Perfume sense but odors linger
Clutching at the strings of the purse
King Midas in reverse
Snack
I want a snack
Because I’ve been a good boy
And I deserve a treat sometimes
I want a snack
Because I’ve been a good girl
And I deserve a treat sometimes
I want a snack
I want a snack
I want a snack
I want a snack
