Dongo Bongo! 05:30
Enter you, stage right Keep all the lights on It’s time for the show to begin I’m nervous as hell to begin Thinking of what you said As the lights come on Revealing the look on my face My feelings will give me away Turning away I close my eyes Like a lurid flame she dances To the songs that I sung Scorning my advances And the magic comes undone With the curtains closed it can never be the same The same! Flashing back, yesterday You were happy then And you came to the matinee Now you sit in the trebuchet Looking out, in the crowd Can’t see through your mask But it seems like we’ve already played This game which I know that you made Turning away I close my eyes

Cavity 05:10
Finding my way, it’s the same every day You get up, only to create your fate What you don’t come to see is how tomorrow will be Since today you made all these enemies Got a feeling searching for, what I’ve been looking for Has led me down the path where people point and laugh To think we coincide as one, until the consumage is done Putting a stop to all the evil fun What you say is a way, the truth by day Then the night it comes to wash the dreams away Take a sip, take a drink of what you like And you just might end up feeling good tonight To think we coincide as one until the consumage is done We party on, we party on Try and forget what being upset has turned you into It’s not enough to let the storm you made inside you eat you I can barely stand the taste of the bitter human race And I can’t believe what I’m going to face In a world, corroded with mold Where the people’s consciousness has already been sold I can barely stand the taste of the bitter human race Finding my way its the same Tryna make up for whats been delayed But it’s infecting my mind with all this hate Making it impossible to escape But the feeling is stronger than before If theres someone who can show me the door If theres somewhere that I can take control Then I wouldn’t be standing here anymore Open up your eyes my light

Omelet 04:34
Ahhhhhhh Blister! Covered in mud, on my thumb Get the ointment out, it’s bubblin’ up Get the plasters on and I’m feelin’ good I’ma rip ‘em off, eat ‘em I’m a motherfucking Whack man! Nowhere to go I got a four-time warrant and I’m outta control In the kitchen makin’ me somethin’ good to eat This omelet’s gonna fuck me sideways! Neck tie! Spiffy and cool He’s got the brains, trains, knowledge he got from school He’ll make a difference it’s not his fault Show him how he’ll be treated as a young adult, now Suit him up! Throw him down in the hole Pour his coffee down his throat, make him outta control By the end of the week he’s got bills to pay This is convoluted exosclusive, part of your electrocuted Misery! You’ve got the whole world on your shoulders but you’re blind to it so now you go and drown yourself in Ecstasy! You were part of the plan Killin’ me! How you gon’ try and find the one true meaning of life, it’s right in front of your eyes Drawn up by the man Barricade! You outta my life I gotta one-trick pony and he’s buried alive There’s a maniac goin’ to the market at five He’s gotta get, get pills for tonight to survive a Manic! thowin’ paint at the wall I gotta get, get goin’ so I’ll give you a call With everywhere to be but no place to go It’s called life and passion, oh don’tcha know? Misery! Ecstasy! Killin’ me!

Well, have you heard about the one time weekend? Inner-city girl just drowning in the deep end Couldn’t see the light, now she’s tryna to make it right But the days not over ‘till the sun falls down Oh oh oh You don’t have to go but you can’t stay home now Oh oh oh yeah If you wanna play the game then you got to know how Oh she’s a rebel, but her father is the devil So she knows to be careful when he comes home late Crying in the dark she’s exposed to his remark Theres a swift hand cutting through the cold night air Why just the other day they were claiming MIA But a copper caught the daughter, and she came home quick Now she’s locked in her room, starving in her tomb And when the nightfall comes she’s got one last trick Well, have you heard about the one time weekend? Proud family mother, she made it in the free land Put up your fists and fight, she’d say to them at night And the days not over ’till the sun falls down There’s a world out there Full of life and love and care Can you break the endless cycle? Or do you catch the downward spiral? And when you do is it for good? Or will you curse this brotherhood But you shouldn’t even run Cause daddy’s got a gun
5.
Yeah, just a smoke lovin’, pot bellied, fish smelling, tale tellin’, wide-eyed man Livin’ for a living, making soda for a killing, yeah you know he can Strange man in the park, way after dark Selling pop for cheap If it weren’t for his name, they’d be questioning his game You gotta take that leap Cause when the kingdom comes, his name lives on Bad fortune gives him fame When the people heard, it was absurd He would not die in vain! Singing yeah, yeah, yeah yeah Singing yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Turning water into wine, but that was way before your time Reminiscent of your crime His disciples now are made, by a certain lack of shade Where the sun has lost his way When the soda pop man returned from the land All disciples ran to the back of his van He told them all how the homies from Roma Took a switchblade to his hand He arose the next morning with a real good story, yeah the son of Mr. P The soda pop messiah, the only true supplier of the sweet sugar nectar drink He’s making soda pop this time! So the soda pop man drove his van into town, and sold his nectar sweet Cold as stone with a bubbled after-tone, word soon spread down the street Yeah the soda pop man, he’s done his job, he’s gotta make his retreat For the soda pop man was christ all along, he wasn’t meant to stay discrete! He’s making soda pop this time!

Dr. Funk 07:15
Hey Dr. Funk, I’ve been struck to my luck See I got the house fever as I heard the beat drop Boy don’t you know that I’ve got the cure? The only treatment is to boogie down on the floor Said the dogs hot diggity hot diggity damn! You know I love to boogie while I can So promise me when the groove comes around You make an appointment so we can all hang out! Dr. Funk will see you now Woah Dr. Funk, oh you know what they say I guess it’s true every dog has it’s day Got a bright green suit, jacket, tie, purple pants The recipe is here to get down to dance The fever hits your feet, and the sooner you see You’ll get the opportunity to let loose and be free Promise me when the groove comes around You’ll make an appointment so we can all get down! Yes, the doctor will see you now Woah I’m the doctor, so call me up I’ll prescribe you for a case of the funk I’m the doctor, messin’ you up ‘Till the beat beat beat ‘till you’ve had enough I’m the doctor, call me up I’m the doctor, call me up I’m the doctor, I’m the doctor I’m the doc, doc, doc, digga-digga break it down! Dr. Funk will see you now, close the doors, hurry now Little bit of music to make things right Little bit of funkin’ through the night

Shackles and chains prone to the ground Tapes of my life, played and rewound Pressure all around me Confining and binding, surrounding You told me you loved me Im standing here so Whatcha you going to do? (Tell me whatcha wanna do, tell me whatcha wanna do) When that girl leaves you (Tell me whatcha wanna do, tell me whatcha wanna do) Deeper shade of blue (Tell me whatcha wanna do, tell me whatcha wanna do) Be the death of you (Tell me whatcha wanna do, tell me whatcha wanna do) Lost in my thoughts, my mind far gone Carry me home, I can’t move on Instinct tells you the system But tonight I’m not a victim Give me freedom, by my lonesome Not to be harmed Im standing here so The time has come, I’m on my own This everlasting fever is done Rip up my chain, dig up my stake And drive them through my heart again And I will find myself, again
8.
Oh, if you could see past my eyes, what I’m tryna hypnotize I’d tell you pretty lady how the road ahead lies If you try and read my lips you might fall into the abyss Become a victim of the myth of how we never will exist Down the road to whats new, theres nothing you can do To try and stop the youth from the inevitable truth Of when the green on the trees will fade away with the leaves Causin’ last summer breeze to go as we please yeah yeah Now the lights takin’ lives, and kids won’t compromise When televisions lie and nobody’s safe at night All you can do is try to hide behind the mask these words provide Construct and set aside for a life of pride denied yeah yeah Way down the road, thinking life isn’t quite of what might not be right I wanna know, if you’re gonna stay Way down the road, feeling empty you envy the path to the light I wanna know, because I’m on my way I want to lay out on the bottom of the ocean Away with me I want to lay out on the highest puffy cloud And never come down I need a cottage in the middle of the village, full of love and peace and I want another mother-fucking life, to set me free
9.
Heavyweight 05:58
Just a soft-spoken man with a big ol’ heart And a heavyweight spot for the middleman part Takin’ paint by numbers to a whole new level Had an inner-city girl but her father was the devil Mamma always said you’re gonna be someone You’re gonna party in the rain, you’re gonna dance in the sun Use your given gifts for the world is rarely kind Find some truth in life, keep your health in mind and Whenever you fall Feel the pain in the world filling up in the mind of your eye Running circles around, souls intertwined Whenever you fail Know the best part of life is the past is done and gone Never again, hello my friend Well if a friend of the devil is a friend of mine Then tell me can I get some sleep tonight? Headed out West with my hat and a rhyme Hope to hit TC before we reach sunrise All the colors in the world bleed from the ground and the sky Find your Pane when you need his light Seven billion souls fishes swimming in the sea Me I paint them all, who will ever paint me?

Gandalf 07:02
(Humanow) Come now and don’t be late I got a one-time offer that will seal your fate I’ll make you a deal that you can’t refuse So meet me at nine or you’re going to lose Oh shit! Hot damn! Got hit by a car I’d be there in five but i’m in the ER I gotta tell you man, if this is my last breath You’ll be the one suffering more from my death Give me one step to paradise, baby Give me one chance (to close my eyes tonight) Give me one step to paradise, baby Give me one chance (to close my eyes tonight) I don’t suppose we’ll make it back tho We’ll be dead if we don’t (follow Gandalf home) Give me one step to paradise baby, give me one chance To close my eyes (Humanow) Hot sauce all over my shirt Got to scrub a dub dub gettin’ all the dirt Having dinner at nine showing up on time I’ll be sipping the wine but not paying a dime Get up! I gotta go! Just run for the door No the check hasn’t come but I’m hitting the floor Coming in hot I make it out to my car I turn my key but that shit won’t start
