The Abandoned Hospital Ship

Well it took some time
Cause its a lot
God, it's a bunch
It's such a big, old, black golden buzz

And yeah it took some help
With lots of machines, the experts could tell
With their equipment pushed to the max...

And sure it seems easy now but I tell you what
We were perplexed finding the needle
In the needle's disguise

And now that it's conceived, the station has all
Settled down, and I'm sort of relieved, and I'm
Getting over it now...

Psychiatric Explorations Of The Fetus With Needles

Cat killing dogs, pigs eating rats
Every mouth will eat you up the king bug laughs
Belly of the heart Belly full of bats
The chromosomes seem not to want the fetus...

They beat you up
They make you leave
Sticking needles in your knees
Knowing God will be pleased
Should make it easy

Snakes eating frogs, toads eating gnats
When the space ship beams you up boy, get drunk fast
Rubber bullet barn, titty suckin calf-
Goats and roosters Bees and bugs Amoebas!!

They blow you up, make it breath
Make it feel like a disease
And though its hard to believe it makes it easy.

Placebo Headwound

Where does outer space end
It's sort of hard to imagine
Is it real? Is it nothin, nothin?
Cause it's not so clear anymore to me...,

Why do birds always fly south
When sometimes its warm in yer headwound
Is that nothin? Nothin?
Cause its not so clear anymore to me...
And if God hears all my questions
Well how come there's never an answer?
Is it nothin, nothin?

This Here Giraffe

I saw this bird fly off his head
Without him ever lookin up
This here giraffe was never caught complainin
He wouldn't take skin off yer back.

And ya hear yerself
Thinkin
And ya hear yerself
Thinking
This here giraffe, laughed

I saw this man stick out his neck
With his binoculars intact
He couldn't tell the right side of his brain
Had just lost all interest in his left...
And ya feel yourself shrinkin
And ya feel yourself shrinkin
This here giraffe, laughed
This here giraffe, laughed
And ya hear yourself
And ya hear yourself

Brainville

I've heard about a place, where they enlarge yer space
Don't cost ya very much, they seem to know their stuff,
They take pity on the small ones...

So I wanna go to Brainville. Let's get in
And overcome my inexperience
I wanna go to Brainville. Let's get in
And be the first one on the block that does.

They say it's the one thing everyone should have
I know it must look bad.

I know I need the help
They'd take me I can tell
They take pity on the small ones...

I wanna go to Brainville. Let's get in
And overcome my inexperience
I wanna go to Brainville. Let's get in
And be the first on the block that does.
Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da

Guy Who Got A Headache And Accidentally Saves The World

Magnified up close, in pickle jar
Is the last hope the world has... Yeah ... Yeah

Thinkin that his head surely would explode
His thoughts go deeper than ever... yeah... yeah

Something never dreamed in all the science books
The biggest light switch gets turned on yeah.. yeah

And he's on the way to a real first in all the universe yeah.. yeah
He saves the day and the world knows, the sonic boom explodes

Hesitant to tell the real reason, the Nobel Prize is given-Yeah-
It's hard to celebrate with a headache Oh Yeah... Yeah

And he's on the way to the real first in all the universe Yeah... Yeah
And he saves the day and the world knows. Now watch his head explode

When You Smile

It's like I never had to see it in your eyes or feel it
I could tell when you smile.
It's like I didn't need to say anything or do much, I could tell
When you smile
All of the subatomic pieces come together and
Unfold themselves in a second...
Every single molecule is right, when
All of the subatomic pieces come together and unfold
Themselves in a second.

Kim's Watermelon Gun

Well Kim's got the answer with her watermelon gun
And all the celebrities want permission,
But she won't give it to them, til they learn how to love...
And Kim's got her watermelon gun, cause its the consciousness of love

And wouldn't it be dumb if all their atrocities were just forgiven
But she won't give that to them, until they learn how to love.
And Kim's got her watermelon gun, cause its the consciousness of love.
She won't give it to them, she won't give it to them...

They Punctured My Yolk

They never called me up to the tower, we have it to them, they had the power,
And power is the thing that made you take off from me...
We trained hard for the mission, all floating over, though we're in zero gravity
Now I'm left here on the landing, the rockets flame boost,
As it's leaving without me, and you go off in the sky.
Good-bye. Good-bye.
Look at the clouds burst, they're growing taller,
And as yer ship leaves in the distance my world gets smaller,
And it takes you worlds away, a million light years from me...
Oh, Oh, Oh

Lightning Strikes The Postman

I got yer letter it had turned to sand, lighting strikes the postman in
His hand, I hope that you remember the things you had to say, it's just
A supernatural delay... I got yer package it was all a mess, lightning strikes
The postman in his chest, I hope that you remember the things you
Had to
Say, it's just a supernatural delay...
I sent you a postcard and I hope yer fine
But lightning strike the postman all the time
I couldn't really think of anything to say
It's just a supernatural delay,
And it's hard to read the writing through the flames...

Christmas At The Zoo

Their wasn't any snow on Christmas eve and I knew what I
Should do, I thought I'd free the animals all locked up at the zoo
I opened up the fence where the peacocks were, the lamas were
Unleashed the snakes and seals could all get out, but they
Refused to leave....

All of the animals agreed they're not happy at the zoos
But they preferred to save themselves, they seemed to think
They could...

The elephants, orangutans, all the birds and kangaroos all said
Thanks but no thanks man, but to be concerned is good...

It started to snow on Christmas Eve in the middle of the night
Walkin through the state park zoo and everything is white...

Evil Will Prevail

With Loving hands and their arms are stretched so wide they can't
Seem to take a breath knowing evil will prevail, and a million people
Seems
Like a lot, and a million people can't be wrong...

With loving smiles, and their mouths are stretched so wide they can't
Even
Take a breath, knowing evil will prevail, and the magic bullet is the
Glowing mother ship, and the mother zaps you dead...

With loving hands knowing evil will prevail
Knowing evil will prevail
Knowing that evil will prevail
Knowing evil will prevail
Knowing that evil will always win...

Bad Days

You're sorta stuck where you are
But in your dreams you can buy expensive cars
Or live on Mars
And have it your way

And you hate your boss at your job
Well, in your dreams you can blow his head off
In your dreams
Show no mercy

And all your bad days will end
And all your bad days will end
You have to sleep late when you can
And all your bad days will end
