The Spot-on Shot
02:16
|
|||
|
The spot-on shot from whence we came
Left all the rest of the rounds out in shame
Scoring the point that won us the game
When the odds were all against us
Where they remain
There’s nothing of any substance to gain
From all the information in this refrain
Or any of the others, for that matter
Unless it’s always been boiling behind your chest
Waiting for the moment you finally find
The spot-on shot shooting into your mind

Neighborhood Blotters
01:57
|
|||
|
Losing my lunch all over my dinner
And the more I ponder, it’s no wonder
Neighborhood blotters on the street
Are like Wormwood water
They’re bittersweet
Caught a shooting star
While falling from the window
Still I ponder, still no wonder

Canine State of Mind
01:17
|
|||
|
If I were a dog
I’d be wagging my tail
When you’re walking my way
From all the way over there
With my one track mind
And million mile stare
Not to brag, but I can
Speak, sit, stay, shake, fetch
Play dead, roll over
And keep my composure
When I get a funny feeling
From the look in your eyes
I’m wondering if you’d snatch me up
And take me outside
In my canine state of mind

Bodies in the Basement
01:08
|
|||
|
It’d be a lie to say that I’m completely blameless
The motivation’s nothing more than entertainment
Now’s the time when I’m obliged to hit the pavement
The cops are at the house
And I got bodies in the basement
|

The Opposite End
01:49
|
|||
|
Six feet under wasn’t deep enough
To keep the dead from crawling back up
Dig deep, dig deeper
The deepest was dug
Alas, the worst has yet to come
It’s only just begun
At the opposite end
It’s the other way around
Twisted twists of fate abound
Footprints leading to a scary cemetery
Disappear by the time the feet are found
Upside down, feet on the ceiling
Inside out, my mind started peeling
Haunted house from the cellar to the attic
Black magic, white noise
Ghost radio static

Sin Sincerity
01:38
|
|||
|
Sincerity is in short supply
Sincerely
Call me Captain Obvious
I couldn’t help but notice
Observational osmosis
And I’m jonesing to make sense of it
Explain it to me like I got snail for brains
Sluggishly struggling with the reasoning
Can’t find the rationality in front or behind
Could somebody sincerely state it clearly to me why?

How Long’s a Moment?
02:00
|
|||
|
Waiting for a ride
Do you know the time?
Hold on just one moment
How long’s a moment anyway?
However long it takes
However long it lasts
A moment on its way
It came and then it passed
Hold my place in line
I’ll be back on time
I’ll keep you in mind
If you fall behind

The Seedy City
01:48
|
|||
|
The seedy city’s really pretty
Really pretty shitty
The weather’s always windy
But it’s not the Windy City
Get down to the nitty gritty
Come up to the seedy city
Infinitely witty at your wit’s end
In the seedy city 25/7

Refrain for the Press
02:13
|
|||
|
Refrain for the press
Refrain from the press
Let me get this off my chest
It’s lame at best
This is the crux of the flux
It’s not worth a dime, it just rhymes
It’s only a dream, or so it would seem
But you can’t wake up this time
Try not to go outside the lines
When you’re coloring us in next time
If there should be a next time
|

Until It Rings a Bell
02:44
|
|||
|
Once it’s gone, it’s gone
Until it rings a bell
Twice it’s gone, it’s gone again
Rewind that, play it back
Again and again, over and over
Sever the tie
Some of the time
Don’t let it out of your mind
Get yourself out of your mind
