somewhere in the east Edd is waking up to build an ampli fires burning bright as Jhon sells Mega Mandibles are smiling back at Steve at the General ephemer all the energy that Graham does save stretches through the day and all night saving energy is alright Kevin Diamond has invited you to the event one of the few legal ways to pull joy out of this cement catchy tunes and the musical booze can’t make the white kids dance it’s the legacy of the Puritans they try so hard to dash but you can listen to the banjo if that’s the way you get down you can listen to the tuba if you like an oom papa sound you can listen to the Five stay alive never die die die ‘cause nostalgia clowns around you can listen to piano it’s electrical I know, but eccentric is dyno might get your mind blown sewing a song out of fabric made for dashing capes if you just would put it on you’d get laid like Wonder Woman gets laid all the time she’s a busy woman fighting crime Kevin Diamond has invited you to the event but you are in Midtown so you suck Pow and Wow will be there and Greg and Duck will be there and all together let’s be fair they’re gonna make you wanna move your shoes Kevin Diamond has invited you to the event if you can’t make it out my friend there’s nothing I can do about it played the scene for years without it and I’m not gonna cry about it just us and our dashing capes playing shows to anyone who takes a liking to the sound

Juan Carlos 02:34
Juan Carlos Diego walks with his guitarra to the Broadway Station and he talks to the man in the parking lot about the problems with the US nation Gladys has kids with a man she met after years of typing fast on the internet now, she sits inside of the Laundromat counting quarters by a brand new TV set everybody the streets are paved with gold in America Brewer’s heels tip tap on the marble floor as she walks through the halls of the Capitol If we say we don’t discriminate then we don’t so shut your mouth. everybody

Big 03:08
it’s my party and I’ll die if I want to gonna put it in my body if it makes me feel right sorry babe I’m leaving you can cry if you want to but it’s just a waste of saline all over your face I don’t sit in traffic I sail over your head even if it’s only in my mind at my backdoor there’s a crack whore with Ebenezer Scrooge my celebrity couple ‘cause the gossip is good (but) sun up again I’m home again slip on into bed kiss your face and say hey babe I’m your man, model American hard working hard loving, I’m gonna take a stand well I’m piling up the winnings but I’m belting out the blues don’t eat from my basket ‘cause it’s designed to lose it’s my lobby and I’ll try if I want to slam on the gas if the brake is no good you can’t turn us in ‘cause our head’s too big to jail but we can’t stop loving money ‘cause our heart’s too big to fail who wants to fail? I don’t want to fail when the sun comes up again I’m home again slip on into bed kiss your face and say hey babe I’m your man, model American hard working hard loving, I’m gonna take a stand

Too Late 02:28
it’s too late, I’ve already been thinking of you and leaving my life behind I’m shootin’ farther than Cupid, I feel so stupid falling for you but I hear the whispers of your soul and they’re right it’s softer than love in the middle of the night they tell me the story of all your life and how I should spend the rest with you don’t speak now, the air melts with our love it’s unfair to ask of it to flow over our lips I can see now all of the poetry that is growing in the sun of your smile I hear the whispers of your soul and they’re right it’s softer than love in the middle of the night they tell me the story of all your life and how I should spend the rest with you

Julie 02:37
Julie last Tuesday put down her Newsday and said Oh my, in the middle of the night they brought it home sweet home on the range is lookin’ pretty strange, I know but that’s the way it seems to go Penny last Wednesday put in her last day of work she’s going way up to Montreal she vote for Hope but now she’s packing don’t forget your coat, it’s cold but then again aren’t we all someone’s knocking at her door to tell her body open up you think that’s better than before? even Heidi by Friday turned off the nightly lampoon too soon, to feel like living underground she wants to laugh and love and sing but how when nothing’s funny to sing about? little Sunny had one day to rest up for Monday and pray for rain that never came you know they held her down Remember, right? We taught you how to breathe you’ll be alright she went higher and higher someone’s knocking at your door to tell your body open up you think that’s better than before?

Maybe I Know 02:38
if you want into my room you had better bring a broom so you can sweep it out if you want into my heart, there’s no better place to start it’s slow, but believe you me baby I know baby I don’t maybe I don’t maybe I don’t know can’t just take me on these pricey dates buy me fancy carbohydrates you got to take the long way if you want into my heart pull too hard, you’ll tear it oh it’s slow, but believe you me baby I know baby I don’t maybe I don’t maybe I don’t know

You take my love when you go and though I never let it show You take my love all alone And now you’re walking down the stairs And now you’re walking out the door Baby tell me where you go you can keep me in your photographic pictures while I’ll be standing in your long line of Mr.’s

Telling Lies 02:00
I don’t know why you’re telling lies You know they don’t make me feel good, no But since your heart is made of ice I guess you never break a sweat And if I’m Magellan you know it ain't in my shoes But if I’m McClellan you know it’s just my job to lose Cause it’s a heart stop rip-off hear stop rip-off oh I don’t know why you’re telling lies You know they won’t make you feel good no But since your heart is made of stone Don’t let it roll a roll away And if I’m your hankie you know I hate to see you cry But if I’m Bernanke you know I wouldn’t pay no mind Cause it’s a heart stop rip-off heart stop rip-off oh

Sallies 03:38
Maybe in the summer time/ It’s a sham so come on and get with it Make ya feel fine na na na… Sally wants to be with other Sallies I know But Sally wants to be with no other Thomas wasn’t modest like some Sallies I know But Thomas wants to be with no other 31 like flavors lie and cheat 31 like flavors they all make me sick Seein’ bodies out of City Hall California is a messy car Maybe Maine should buy a New York Times ‘Cause, Iowa, you’re the friendly kind. Sally wants to be with other Sallies I know But Sally wants to be with no other And, Thomas wasn’t modest like some Sallies I know But Thomas wants to be with no other Love is love is love is love la la la, love is love is love Sit down girl but don’t get comfort’ I got some time so I can make you suffer Maybe there’s somethin’ to this Bible-thumpin’ Seems like money is that type of somethin’ It will be better when it’s warmer weather Unless it’s hot, then I’ll reconsider. (backing: they got the money, but I got the time they break the bread but I break the wine) Maybe in the summer time, I’ll take your hand And you’ll be mine…
