Kicking rocks down old dusty roads small town slow pokes long time ago kicking out records of all the things that i know all the things that i know I know a rock is a rock i know a dog is a dog and i know there are 3 spatial dimensions but only one planet earth only got one planet earth only one pile of dirt cosmonauts and their satellites roving across the skies taking detailed records of all the things that they spy all the things that they spy They spy the water is blue and the trees are green they spy 3 spatial dimensions but they only got one planet earth they only count one planet earth only one pile of dirt only one united states only one nicholas cage only one chance to strut and fret up on the stage you’re looking around the ground is shaking the sound’s viberating through your knees and birds fly away to escape the shuddering trees cause shes waking up and ready to start making up the mess you created on your crusade to the west, hungover serenade after you removed her dress oooooo she tests you oooooooo tries to misdirect you mentally body checks you relentlessly requesting that you remagnitude your extemporaneous birth howzabout a little fucking grattitude for the rolling of the surf a recount may be in order for the census of the earth

Babies 02:17
Everybody that I know is busy making babies Everybody in this room right now was at one time a tiny baby All you fine ladies, preoccupied with babies Handsome gentleman meets a beautiful and intelligent lady They go out to a movie I think it was the 'white house down' Afterward the gentleman says, "Hey lady, do you wanna go make a baby?" Lady says, "How did you know that's exactly what I wanted to do" Everybody that I know is busy making babies Everybody that I know is going baby-fucking crazy There is no stronger force than the desire to protect a baby Come on we gotta keep a marriage together, think of the kids they're basically babies The survival of the species is guaranteed through how cute a baby is Everybody i know is busy thinking about making babies just close your eyes and picture yourself with a baby does your baby have a smile? does it want to be your friend? you think your life would be complete if you could hold a baby in your hands

i met my baby on a rocky roller coaster we were falling through space when she saved my life its tough to be an scientist when the girl you love writes poetry its tough to be a nihilist and everything your perceive is beautiful its tough to eat gluten-free when all that you want to be is a robot john keats i fell in love today and now I'm having trouble composing my thoughts i fell in love today and now I'm no longer squandering this precious gift of life underneath a set of sheets thats dragging you down is where you found your robot john keats poison android faux pax destroy broken echoes from inside your robot heart i fell in love today and so today is a mighty special day i fell in love today and now i am the most superior form of energy across the universe all i wanna do is stare as you metamorphosize into divinity with every new thought you share i fell in love today and baby you are mighty, mighty, mighty special to me

i was in love once for about three weeks and she loved me in return for one week of that three so that was a pretty good week that one week of actual reciprocated love but then she left town and broke my heart i was in love once for about 2 or 3 minutes we caught eyes while waiting in line at the pornogrophy and novelty store we talked about her favorite films and how she's a student of the black arts how she grew up in a small town now she lives in a big town and is trying to make her way as a young professional witch i am a boring man i drive a pick up truck she is a black magic witch when she goes to work she rides on a broom- -stick in front of a winged hoard of scorpions wielding blood-dripping swords off into the kingdoms in the west where she young professionally oppresses the peasants now normally my good senses keep me a little more apprehensive than to fall for a witch but in this case i could not resist for she did possess me with a small part her heart in the end when she boasted to me about how easily i fell under her spell, I'll never forget her cromulent words she said love is the blackest magic in the world, love is the blackest magic in the world, love is the blackest magic in the world i was in love once because i was tricked by a black magic witch but for all i knew that witch mighta loved me too so that was a ok week for me i guess that one week of ambiguous requited love until that witch turned me into a fish and fed me to her baby pet dragons

Gettysburg 03:25
Saw where your grandfather was buried in Gettysburg Watched as my best friend got married in Gettysburg Wedding guests, hotel rooms, time to put on your dancing shoes Abraham Lincoln did some heavy drinking, soon as he heard the Gettysburg news Confederate rednecks, drive up from Georgia, looking all around, feeling real sad Middle school field trips, impressionable children, learning that war is sometimes bad Old ladies ride in horse-drawn buggies down the streets of Gettysburg Getting freaked out by people doing molly is normal for Gettysburg Collapses in the temple of your body, does it feel like what you heard At a local diner, eating eggs Benedict like a mayor of Gettysburg so enchanted we take off our clothes inside a graveyard Lets condensate under the starlight and surrounded by ten-thousand statues Sorry we couldnt be the people that we thought we could be we could not conceive, the destruction we were producing we will never achieve the state of peace that naive people dream of So very pleased the ceremony proceeded with just a few superficial glitches

you standing on your toes touching my hair with your nose timid terrors from below crawling out into the sun-light guiding our plane turbulent landing desert island white sanding away our inherited hallucination you are more than what you have done on your paths around the sun golden eyelashes above softly smiling at the lovely treasures that you bury in the brains of the ppl that you see and do not see you fighting side by side with me against the armies of heroin raging inside the hearts of everyone we know getting shoved around division by sight and touch and sound daydreaming digitally strangling wonders just like you are more than what you have done on your paths around the sun waking up to an alarm finding you've come to no harm falling back beneath the safety and horror that you seep from every pore i'll be standing next to you anytime that you want me to

i don't wanna put your head into a noose again i just as soon you and me be friends i don't see you talking to that dooche bag again not what i intended when i suggested we just be friends where are you spending all your days now that you're not showing your face around the places we first met and if i was to go and have sex with your best friend would that sever the ties and provoke the spite of who i was before disregarding the obligations we feel for ourselves is the only way we will grow into beautiful interesting people ever reducing connections to the world from which we came is the price that we pay for being beautiful interesting people beautiful interesting people disregarding the obligations we feel for ourselves is the only way we will grow into beautiful interesting people ever reducing connections to the world from which we came is the price that we pay for being beautiful interesting people beautiful interesting people

Tigerland 03:21
i was born a tiger i was transformed into a human by a team of tiger scientists who were laughing in the face of god they were laughing in the face of god its tough to be a tiger its tough to be a tiger who looks just like a human who looks just like a human i learn how to be a human from a team of human-scientists who laugh in my face at every clumsy mistake that i make trying to act like a human they told me boy you’re a long way from tiger-land fire and machines are your friends now boy forget the etiquette of tiger-land now you got to tell 1000 lies to the people you love just to keep their hearts at ease i miss running through the jungle with my friends i wanna jump on that pigeon and then let him go so i can jump on him again its tough to be a human its tough to be a human when on the inside you are a tiger when on the inside you are a tiger

Ghost 03:28
I sit down next to you at the bus depot you go to the bathroom and i watch over your luggage cause thats what strangers do in the few hours before they knew that they love each other and they’re gonna be together i sit down next to you in the hospital room When your parents walk in, they take your hand and I drop my head thats when you rose up out of your bed and hovering around the room you said we love each other and we’re gonna be together you sit down next to me on the day we buried your body you peek into the casket where the mortuary fucked-up your hair you followed us back to your family's house you led me to the room where you grew up we make love to each other cause we’re gonna be together we love each other and we’re gonna be together you came to me when i needed you and now that you are gone i am sad you impressing me with the antidote to slip the surly bonds that keep us apart we love each other and we’re gonna be together
