Mega-Wiggle

We've got a new dance and you've got ... no choice.
'Cause the beat's so loud you can't hear your voice.
Mega-Wiggle!
Leave your car parked on the street.
'Cause when we're through you won't have not feet.
Mega-Wiggle!
Mega-Wiggle, uber-wiggle, ultra-wiggle, destructo-wiggle! etc.

The finish is all silvery, the edges razor-sharp
I keep it by my bed at night to play with in the dark.
Having Fun with Pointed Things, a hunger they are sating
I just can't keep away from them, so small and penetrating.
In school I was a sweet little boy, just a bit depressive.
But I'll grow out of it they said when I grow up in my head
And now I'm just aggressive ...
My friends all sort of fade away and everyone things I'm queer
but I still like to watch TV, I like to drink a beer.
Having Fun with Pointed Things while someone's back is turned
Might cut myself and draw some blood, at least I won't get burned!
Like you!
And now it's time to put out the lights, at peace with every creature
With my pretty pointed things I'm ready for what tomorrow brings
I'll cut myself a future
Having Fun with Pointed Things
Every night.

Melancholera

I"m down with it again, Melancholera
Will it ever end?
Maybe it's just too much quiet
or a change in my diet
Maybe a rise in humidity
or some pollen I can't see
I'm down with it again, Melancholera
Will it ever end?
Maybe it's heredity
or its' just too much TV
Maybe I should exercise
and then I'd dare close my eyes
I'm down with again, Melancholera
Will it ever end?

If you want to fly, wouldn't you rather be a bat?
Flutter through the moonlit skies, and cool things like that?
Birds are kind of stupid, they don't know where it's at
so if you want to fly, wouldn't you rather be a bat?
Flap your wings, catch a bug, hang upside down!
(Damn right!)
And how would you like to be descended from a lizard?
Itchy feathers on your back, and pebbles in your gizzard?
Know for being dirty and your reputation deserved?
How would you like to be descended from a lizard?
Snap your beak, eat a worm, lay an egg! (Yuck)
Flap your wings, catch a bug, hand upside down!
Suck my blood!
Just kidding! They don't really do that.
Well, maybe a couple of 'em.
Flap them wings!
Get down, get fluttery!
Got those little thumbs!
What an ugly nose though.
They're in your hair!
(No they aren't. They never do. It's an old wives' tale)
(ever try to get batshit out of your carpet?)

You Can't Tell Me
03:50
|

|
You won't tell me, how you feel, how you feel
You won't tell me, what's the deal, you won't squeal.
You keep me at arms length and I haven't the strength
to push by you and see what's inside
You won't tell me, how you feel, how you feel.
You won't show me, what I need, need to see
You won't show me, how to live, you and me
We go round and around, and it never gets clear
and we never come near to a reason why
You Can't Tell Me you love me
and you can't tell me why
and you can't tell me why
So I'm waiting, for the day, for the day
So I'm waiting, till you say go away
Not much hope, not much hope, at the end of my rope
and I fear that the ending is near because
You Can't Tell Me you love me
and you can't tell me why

Dance Fiendish
Who will kiss the bride and groom?
I think there are aliens in this room!
Nobody move, my scruples are gone!
Check, check, is this thing on?
Dance Fiendish (New York is where I'd rather stay)
Turn around pick a bale of cotton!
If it gets wet, your cotton's rotten!
Where you go I will follow,
Down in the mud and wallow, wallow!
Dance Fiendish (New York is where I'd rather stay)
Dance Fiendish (I get allergic smelling hay)

Payday in Hell

Payday, payday in Hell
I wouldn't look up if I were you,
It's the last thing to look forward to.
Payday, payday in Hell
I wouldn't look up if I were you,
It's the last thing to look forward to.

Not Afraid of the Dark
04:09

Last night I was lying in bed
(my clothes all over the floor)
Thought of something that had no head
stumbling through my door
I'm not Afraid of the Dark
No, I'm Not Afraid of the Dark
Thunderstorm had knocked the lights out
(time to stub my toes)
Fuses are all in the cellar
Where no one ever goes!
I'm Not Afraid of the Dark
No I'm Not Afraid of the Dark
Walking home through downtown alleys
(My car, we're not speaking)
Rats are not my only worry
with all these hinges creaking!
