American Dog
03:41
|
|||
i tried to think and forgot to feel
i fake laughed so hard I started laughing for real
i messed up and sang a song
in a voice that sounded wrong
i’m free to love and free to roam
i’m free to see what’s on my phone
free to heed whoever calls
to save it up or spend it all
oh oh oh oh my god
i didn’t know i’d feel this way about a little dog
american dog, american dog
i fell in love with an american dog
good god, i fell in love with an american dog
i like the warm and fuzzy things
and all the goodies Santa brings
lately i’ve been wanting more
a pal to greet me at the door
the sticks have been unfetched too long
the melodies were taken wrong
i stored them way up on the shelf
and the song began to write itself
(chorus)

Changing My Mind
05:22
|

i knew a man who never changed his mind
all day he’d sit and curse the passing time
when he’d hear his neighbors merry with cheer
he’d slam his window and say “damn ‘em all to hell!”
now here’s a hint for you, that man was me
i feel much different now quite naturally
if there’s a rotten stinking from things you keep thinking
why not toss them away?
it’s cliche and it’s true
ice melted away and new things grew
(doot doot doot doot)
you’re picking up on different subtleties in my behavior
(doot doot doot doot)
it took a couple tries to bring out some more of the flavor
(doot doot doot doot)
and now i’ve got no reason to still rehearse
a duty that called from under some kind of curse
cause i’m changing my mind this time
and doing my part
and i think that i’m trying to find what’s in my heart
i gotta get with the times
and make it feel true
when i’m over the same old view
who? (you) who? (you) who? (you)
i’m gonna make it new
(you're gonna make it new)
you always had a place way out of town
when neighbors came too close you’d load up a round
just to say you were private hardly describes it
guarding your pile til death do you part
(doot doot doot doot)
I’m picking up on different subtleties in your behavior
(doot doot doot doot)
it took a lot of tries to bring out some more of the flavor
(doot doot doot doot)
remember spinning through the parking lot in reverse
a duty that called from under some kind of curse
now you’re changing your mind, your style
and doing your part
and it’s cool cause you’re trying to find what’s in your heart
you must have got with the times
and made it feel true
when you’re tired of the same old you
you (you) you (you) you (you)
you’re gonna to make it new
(you're gonna make it new)

Too Close For Comfort
04:03
|
|||
you had a look in your eye
i never saw before
so freaky
i ran right out the door
now you’re stuck in my mind
so wild in your ways
so creepy
i wanna see you today
the night is filled with intrigue
but i’m so shy of you
til I fade into the blue
you got me now
i just don’t know what to do
hurt, hurt, got too close for comfort

Beautiful Music
04:31
|
|||
(bup bup bah, bup bup bah)
tell me what floats your boat
honks your horn, gets your goat
if i see way you take you tea i will make a mental note
i can name five or six ways that i get my kicks
it’s a piece of cake
but it’s kinda complex
the tonic for healing the dominant feelings
can be as deceiving
there’s something in the sound of music
electrified or just acoustic
the strange cadence of a wind chime
or the strings from more emotional times
i long for a note of beautiful music
is it live?
is it canned?
was it chance?
was it planned?
were there unknown forces in the room guiding the composers hand?
i can dig the sound of music
synthesized or just acoustic
i close my eyes at the ballgame
or dig the crazy rhythm of a wood flame
i long for a note of beautiful music

Bad Boy
05:06
|
|||
i used to do good in school
i used to do what they told me
i crossed my i’s, dotted my t’s
and minded my own q’s and p’s
and i learned their precious words
and they’re still just words
and now i’m here hanging around
cursing my words all over town
cause i’m a bad boy now
nothing that nobody can do about it
cause i’m a bad boy now
cruisin down to the sunset strip
cause i’m a bad boy now
am i crazy if i don’t know what’s real
or am i starting to see things clearly
like how i couldn’t find the warmth
when your hand was on my shoulder
i haven’t whined this much since my teeth were first coming in
it’s like…
cause i’m a bad boy now
(looks like he’s given up on all of his dreams)
cause i’m a bad boy now
(he ain’t no good or even in between)
cause i’m a bad boy now
(roaming the streets, struttin to the beat
looks like a bad guy i don’t want to meet)
cause i’m a bad boy now

Don't Be A Dick
03:46
|
|||
they’re trying to catch the mirage cutting class again
sit down and discuss business school again
she doesn’t blame them, they never heard her sing
the pitted youth have made their sacred offering
permanent damage to private property
the future just came back up the drain
and keeps rushing into open spaces
spoils the goods your mind erases
couldn’t desert your thirst at the oasis
but just (don’t be a dick)
don’t be an idiot
(don't be a dick) who’s got the time for it?
(doo doo doo doo) hey
you keep interrupting, but you’re saying nothing
if you’re playing tricks again and i know you’re just being rude
you’ll have to excuse me and my carefree attitude
there’s a breeze at the beach that blows the trash around
energy monsters kiss the candy clown
drinking a dollar like it’s no thing
hey and what do you make of the chimpanzees
baring their teeth so we can see
got half of a mind to try and set one free
let it free
guess i got a careless attitude (careless attitude)
i mean a carefree attitude (careless attitude)
i can’t remember when the corners all came unglued
you made a mess then pointed to it like evidence
so who cares?
don’t be a jerk, don’t be a know-it-all
don’t wanna hear it’s a small world after all
just wanna see you and your projections
walk the other direction
(don't be a dick) don’t be an idiot
(don't be a dick) who’s got the time for it?
(doo doo doo doo) hey you’re driving me crazy
and you’re so damn lazy
if you’re playing tricks again and i know you’re just being rude
you’ll have to excuse me and my carefree attitude (attitude, baby)
yea get a load of me now with my carefree attitude (attitude, baby)
now may i be excused?

Cookie Man

funny cookie man
he’s baking quickly as he can
but when you reach for a fresh one
he’s sure to shoo away your hand
‘scuse me, cookie man
if you’d just look the other way
you’ll see a rare bird sitting on your Chevrolet
(tricked you, ha ha ha ha)
cookie man
