Dongo Bongo!

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

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!

One Time Weekend
08:38
|
|||
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

Soda Pop Jesus
06:01
|
|||
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

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

Deeper Shade of Blue
05:23
|
|||
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

Cottage Grove
04:20
|
|||
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

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

(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
