Pretzel
02:34
|
|||
I’m brown, I’m salty
I’m tied up in knots
You’ll probly like me better
after a beer or lots
I'm a pretzel
I’m tied up in a great big knot
I’m doughy and I’m baked
Have too much of me
And you will catch a stomach ache
I'm a pretzel
BRIDGE:
You may find me in the bag
Or halfway through a bowl
Beholden, like you
To the illusion of control
You may find me in a dive bar
Or a picnic at the beach
You’re full of questions
I’m full of flour and yeast

I do these things
You do these things too
You talk to me
In a way that I don’t like
I try to hurt you
You try to hurt me too
But I been tryin' not to pay attention

Saigon Temps

90° on a Monday morning
Boss wants to know why you are late
Everybody else in the office is watching
Waiting for you to make a mistake
Saigon temps
So intense
99° on a Tuesday night
Everybody else in the office is gone now
Stayed after hours to make things right
Hope to impress the boss with your know-how
Saigon temps
Make no sense

WRONG BEACH!
Thought it was the right beach
But it was the wrong beach
Now we don’t know what to do
Thought it was the right beach
But it was the wrong beach
Wanna take a swim with you
WRONG BEACH!
Thought it was the good beach
But it was the bad beach
Now we don’t know what to do
Thought it was the good beach
But it was the bad beach
Wanna take a dip with you
WRONG BEACH!
Thought it was the fun beach
But it was the sad beach
Now we don’t know what to do
Thought it was the fun beach
But it was the sad beach
Wanna take a swim with you

Cheeky swimbo that’s what I want (ya can’t say that)

Rumbo in the bar, rumble in my tum

And I’m still sorry about that caesar salad

Payload Specialist
05:16
|

I’m a payload specialist
For Nasa
I’m from a small town in the Midwest
I never married
I used to be a teacher
But now I’m a payload specialist
I go to space
Unlike most people
Space can be lonely
But it’s not so bad
I go there in a shuttle
Where I’m a payload specialist
Yeah I’m a payload specialist for Nasa
I used to be a teacher
I taught high school
And sometimes middle school
But now I hurtle in and out of the Earth’s atmosphere
Willing to give my life for science

Life is fuckin' tight
And that can make it hard
You wanna enjoy it
But you gotta go rake the yard
Like when the girl you love loves you back
And it feels real good
But she wants to make babies and move to
A better neighborhood
Life is fuckin' tight
And that can make it suck
You wanna roast a quail
But all you have to roast is duck
Like when you're in the park and the sun is out
And it feels real good on your face
But you gotta go back to work
Go back to the paper chase
Life is fuckin' tight
And that can make it unbearable
You wanna embed a really sick Vimeo clip
But its settings say it's not shareable

Hypoluxo Road

Low on fuel get off the 95
Been a long day
Angry guy angry girl
Angry sky over head
On Hypoluxo road
Used to be Seminole here
Now there’s a Mobil
Only reason
People stop nowadays
On Hypoluxo road
People in their cars
People in their homes
People in the Wendy's, the Winn-Dixie
Casa Brera
Here on Hypoluxo Road
Pondhawks in the cottonweeds
Down there on Easy Street

Marooned on a Dune
05:15
|
|||
Most people I know live in town
They drive a car and go to work all wearin' a frown
But it’s not all bad this place where they’re from
They get to have friends and escape from the sun
For everybody else yeah work starts soon
But not me I'm marooned on a dune
For every one else the party starts soon
But not me I’m marooned on a dune
Most people I know play the guitar
They work for tips in a Latin bar
But there’s a lot more to it it’s not just a gig
You make people happy and your heart feels big
Everybody else play your signature tune
But not me I'm marooned on a dune
Everybody else drinkin' at the saloon
But not me I’m marooned on a dune
