Shop 'Til You Drop
03:44

I don't need a list, my mind is a steel trap
I'll be back before that sloth begins a slow clap
Just gonna walk don't need to drive, saving the polar ice caps
I don't even need a bag just gonna pick up a few things
Going to the store, coming back with nothing you left for
So you're going back to the store again
You should have know before you walked through those doors
Now you're coming back for more, my friend
I came for detergent
Now my mind feels so divergent
I know the toilet paper situation is urgent
But now a new sale emerges
What do I need? What was it I needed?
Grab myself another box of cereal, I think I need to go
Shop til you drop, there's little you can do to stop yourself
From making purchases on a whim
Struggling with the reality of putting needs before wants
Why did I have to come here when I was so hungry?
(Refrain)
But how could you ignore the new Ben n Jerry's flavor
I said, "I will savor this in bed!"
I've had a real craving (for a bag of smart food)
Now that I'm here I don't know where to start (I feel like a fool)
I know I needed something
What I needed was some vegetables
What do I need? What was it I needed?
Grab myself another box of cereal, I think I need to go
(Refrain)

Brain Cuddling
02:33
|
|||
|
Weird pressure inside my body and head, feels like I'm melting into my bed
Strange sensations in the backs of my eyes, I hear noises out the window but there's nothing outside
It's so familiar, it's so surreal
Thoughts swimming round my skull like electric eels
Here she comes, coursing through my veins
Stopping by to cuddle with my brain
She changes into robes of comfort and delight, her warm weight presses on my body tonight
Weighing me down yet lifting me still, we dance as one cause she knows I will
What have I got to bother me, nothing's going wrong, I'm happy
Here she comes, pulsing through my veins
Stopping by the cuddle with my brain

Aqueous Gains
04:55
|
|||
|
As the rivers peter to a dribble and the wells run dry
As the lakes reveal their depths, pretty soon there won't be nothing left
No melt to feed the streams, no sign of falling water anywhere
No flow in the shallow creeks, What if I made it rain for weeks? Rain for weeks, What if it rained for weeks?
If I bring the rain will you still complain, "Man it's such a pain, I think I hate the rain."
If I invoke the rain will you call me insane as I dance in the name of aqueous gains.
Dance for the rain.
Thirsty soil drinking it deep, another drop seeps down into the aquifer
Precipitation brings such relief, can you catch a raindrop in your smiling teeth?
Such a deluge has never been seen, I'm feeling damp and delusional
Here's what you wanted, now come outside
Why does the rain make you run and hide? Run and hide, Why do we run and hide?
(Chorus)
Dodging puddles as you quiver in your rain boots, can't remember when you last saw the sun
Feeling soggy just staring out your window, you wanted rain but now you want it to go
Rivers burst over their banks and their boundaries, this land is positively saturated
We can't ignore the perfect storm we waited for
Have you had enough or do you want some more? Want some more, how bout a little more?
(Chorus)

Pie
02:19
|
|||
|
Whatever happened to being pied in the face? People really enjoyed that
Maybe too much whipped cream in the wrong place could give you a sinus infection
Everyone could stand to eat some more pie
So stand up and eat some more pie
Having a pie around just feels good, you can eat it anytime
With a pie right by your side you probably could befriend a hungry mountain lion
(Chorus)

Ergot in the Rye
02:39
|
|||
|
The wheat in the fields has been covered in blight
But they tell us that the rye will make it alright
No fruits of our labor, it's time for some cooperation with your neighbor
With your neighbor
Rye bread sandwiches, delicious, but now I've seen them burning witches
Sustenance we sought, or so we thought, but it's all for not our rye's infected with ergot
Our rye's infected with ergot
Demonic wenches of anguish, muttering curses under their breath
Sweet surrender would be painless, sweet surrender in eternal, fiery death
Back to the fiery depths

Chicken Wings
03:11
|

How is it that we always know what is on each other's mind?
You force the laughter from my lips, you're a saracastic kind
Slender form cool and warm, lying here with our bodies intwined
Where on earth did you come from, how the hell did you become mine?
I feel infatuated, thought streams so related
Desires satiated, can't stand to be separated
Would you like some chicken wings? We shall feast like kings
Let's dance and sing, let's you and I fling our sexy bodies like whimsical things
When you are near my head is clear, shrug the weight of misconception
Words flow like the slow running water of the river of love that I have stepped in
I'm happy in this place staring at your face I fell a heightened sense of perception
Come to find you've blown my mind found the hole in my skull, took a step and leapt in
Talk to me with your hips, kiss my face with your lips
People might look at us weird when I caress you with my beard
But they're probably just jealous, maybe we're being overzealous
I think not this is the love I sought, let's sit together deep in thought
Would you like some chicken wings? We shall feast like kings
Let's dance and sing, let's you and I fling our sexy bodies like whimsical things

Finger of Beans
01:51

Finger of beans, finger of beans
Finger of beans, do you know what I mean?
Put your finger in those beans
For they might not be as hot as they seem
Finger of beans, finger of beans
Finger of beans, do you know what I mean?
Put your finger in to see if they are ready
Don't worry now, keep it nice and steady
When you put your finger in those lava hot beans
Don't worry, they're not as hot as they seem
But if they are, take your finger out
Put that finger in your mouth
It's a Finger of beans, finger of beans
Finger of beans, do you know what I mean?
We're having beans now with our tortillas
It's so good for you and a me a
Dedo de frijoles, dedo de frijoles
Dedo de frijoles, me comprendes?
Estamos comiendo frijoles con tortillas
En frijoles hay much proteina
You know it's a finger of beans
Don't you know it's a finger of beans

Ballad of Paco
04:42
|
|||
|
Our relationship may be based on sh!t
On his head I sit in the mornings
Coffee and papaya you see, keep us going regularly
The urge to splurge may strike without warning
Packing a bowl with my friend Paco
Packing a bowl with my friend Paco
It's about that time now I've gotta go
I've grabbed the dry bag so everybody knows that I'm
Packing a bowl with my friend Paco
Paco he's a modest guy, he never screams he never cries
None of us realize what he goes through
When food goes through you and you've got to do the do
Relax, he'll be there for you, Paco don't judge based solely on #2
(Refrain)
Dropping my drawers by a plastic hole
Clearing out my bowels is my main goal, because I'm
Packing a bowl with my friend Paco
Paco has dreams of exploring the world, maybe even finding some groovy girl
Someone who loves him just as he is
Paco loves fine art, jazz, and cooking
Paco is watching when no one is looking
Can you believe he's never been kissed?
Does anybody stop to think about the sannipottie?
I will love him to the very end, yet my very end is all I show to this friend
Seems to be a popular trend among our group
He will always be there in times of digestive despair
He knows not to stare when you present him with your cheeks so bare
(Refrain)
Manuel and Christian have said, "Our friend Paco appears to be dead,"
But I think I will say instead, "Hey there, Paco, let's share some bread.
I ate just before bed and it happens to already be digested."
Packing a bowl with my friend Paco
Does anybody stop to think about the sanipottie?
Does anybody stop to think about Paco?

Small Talk
03:14
|
|||
|
Combing the cerebral sands, what on earth could make our talk less bland?
Futile attempts to search my head, groping at things unsaid
Left with nothing but heaps of words
That swirl around our conversation like flocks of birds
Hey man, I don't know, I got nothing to say
What do we have in common anyway?
How bout that weather today?
I've shared my thoughts with you, now I'm walking away
Comes on easy like a shoe filled with butter
Cucumber ice cube in the heat of summer
Hamster wanders aimlessly away from the wheel
And my flowing brain gravy begins to congeal
Once climbed a really big tree
I've had about a dozen cavities
I'm not too good on skis
I'm a fan of gouda cheese
(Refrain)
Once climbed a redwood tree
I've donated my teeth to charity
I'm a pro on water skies
I make and sell my very own cheese

Flyin' Higha
05:44
|

|
What if you could fly so high?
Where would you go first?
Would you leave for good and hit the road Jack?
Would you take your friends for a ride on your back?
You better bundle up tight, got a felling it's gonna be a cold flight
Wear your goggles for sight, a beetle in your eye might upset your night
Beware of telephone wires, got a suit made of old tires
Keeps me from catching fire, keeps me flying higher
So you think you can fly, my oh my
What are your plans? What are your aspirations?
Will you fly with the geese in a V formation?
Simplify your travel plans for vacation
(Chorus)
I never thought that this would happen to me, they said, "There's no point in trying,
Defying gravity is for the birds and the bees." But now I am flying
Don't believe what they tell you about impossibilities, some people get bogged down by improbabilities
Shrug off disbelief, open your mind up and you'll see
Anything is possible give it chance, don't be
Limited by fears of failure and negativity
Restricted by the constant flow of sheer stupidity
Keep your mind wide open to the buffet of opportunity
Do be who you wanna be, rise up and fly
(Chorus)
