The Vicious Afterglow She always said she was a patriot I thought she knew I was a spy She mouthed the word “atheist” I threw my feelings at the sky ...and then the next part got unbelievable I started out for the money And stuck around for the show It always seemed kind of funny But you should have seen them go She gave me a little honey I gave my middle toe I tried it once for the money And then again for the vicious afterglow It was a bug infested laundromat I came to find a missing sock I got it from a fellow autocrat You can imagine my shock ...and then the next part got unbelievable I started out for the money And stuck around for the show It always seemed kind of funny But you should have seen them go She gave me a little honey I gave my middle toe I tried it once for the money And then again for the vicious afterglow

January Jones Can’t you feel my pain? Don’t you know my heart aches with each night’s refrain? Can’t you see my tears? Taking out the garbage with the albino deer Changing all the locks Signing on the dotted line and taping up the box Christmas has gone I got my January Jones For you, for you Can’t you see my joy? Dancing in the sky just like the birthday boy Finally got my wish Far beyond the first blush, which was so delish’ Picture my relief Open hearted love, beyond all disbelief Scientists are baffled and the mystics are unravelled The Vegas odds are growing and the Kings and Queens are knowing...

Insomnia 03:21
Insomnia I had a dreadful night I didn’t sleep a wink I lay there contemplating Things I knew I shouldn’t think. It’s more than existential Beyond the universe I’m feeling consequential Taking things from bad to worse Lying there in a state of dread Thinking ‘bout the things that I shoulda said I should worry bout Afghan kids instead of All the monsters underneath my bed Right by my head (all bloody red) There is no earthly karma There is no heaven, hell The assholes all have won At least as far as I can tell My boss is Hitler’s cousin My kid won’t talk to me My money’s in the dozens And my fears, a panoply The Yellowstone caldera A meteor from space And there’s the distant terror Of an evil Martian race My cough is so suspicious My girl might leave me soon Can’t smell or taste delicious …could be gone by afternoon. Insomnia… I hate my brain at nighttime.

The Bigger Gun 20 shopping days til the apocalypse comes, are you ready? I got a mile of toilet paper, 40 cases of freeze dried spaghetti I can’t wait for the sirens to blow Locked and loaded, I’m ready to go I knew this day was gonna come And now I’m gonna get me some! My neighbor thought he was my chum He forgot who had the bigger gun As chaos descends in my local mall, I’ll be ready. To defend my WalMart aisle with a wink and a smile, my aim is steady I got provisions for a thousand days and an endorsement deal from Frito-Lays! Armageddon out of here I got my own atmosphere Got a storage tank of gasoline Ain’t no point in going green I knew this day was gonna come! And now I’m gonna have some fun! Hey there, Mr. PhD… I’ll wipe my ass with your degree I’m ready for the EMP I party like it’s 1863!

Too Obvious 03:08
Too Obvious My girl is on fire! Check out the smoke and flame I’m so full of desire Soon I’m gonna know her name She’s a slow burner, hot all through the night She’s got an ice cream churner, So I better treat her right When I get my courage up I’m gonna damn sure let her know Got my moves and my opening line As soon as she’s off the phone But what if I’m too obvious? I might be too obvious I might be too obvious… My girl is a pistol She’s about to go off Like a cocktail crystal Built like a molotov...

Zsa Zsa Dinosaur I was ready for the final show I was the last to know and the first let go Had me waiting in an empty room Time frozen still with a sense of doom Leftover chicken in a paper bag I didn’t realize it was a game of tag Tried to bargain with a face of stone Got a cold rebuff in a monotone In the corner, in a uniform Stood a silent guy to maintain the norm I knew the drill, having held the bit He tried to keep his cool. It was a perfect fit. A wave of calm kept me disengaged And so it all felt clearly staged I watched him fidget with his golden ring I tried to smile like it’s no big thing A cloud of rage hanging overhead The vulture’s wings now fully spread A fog of poison filling up the room I was ready, just not so soon

Christian Sex Tape He’s a man of the cloth And it’s all consuming At the end of the day, it’s like they say He’s only human He’s got the healing touch And the spirit lingers The ladies in flock, all swoon in shock To his magic fingers He deals with matters of the heart And it’s bound to be a heavy burden Some apples fall down from the cart While every shepherd is a herdin’ He has to minister To the weak and weary To give them hope and little dope To keep ‘em all God feary (sic) If there is a line Who should define it? Who sets the contract terms in blood And then who’ll sign it?

Happy Planet 03:05
Happy Planet Up high, where the rocks touch the sky And the rivers compete Down low, with the silicates forming A sandy retreat Happy Planet Sharing your flora and fauna with me Happy Planet I’m here for a moment and happened to be Happy Planet I’ll dance in your forests and swim in your.. ...Seasons of death and rebirth Reasons for sorrow and mirth O’er east, where the oceans can kiss Or they rage at our sins Far west, where the desserts can burn Our most delicate skins

Across America Down in the heart of Arizona Where the summers get hotter than hell Nobody dies of pneumonia Until they fall into a February spell Some lessons best are left unlearned I walked across America I walked across America To see who I could find I met a girl from Sedona Whose Daddy had a cactus ranch I spoke to him of salad dressing Which I thought to be an olive branch Some bridges should remain unburned I walked across America I walked across America To see who I could find He took his gun from his holster And asked me if I’d ever tasted lead I said, “You mean like from a pencil?” And with that he shot me dead Some pages never should be turned I walked across America I walked across America Just to be an asshole

Buzzface 03:40
BuzzFace I want you, with a little bit of whipped cream Stop before it’s butter, that’s for the next scene I want you, with a little bit of barbeque sauce Vinegar, tomato, doesn’t matter to me, just show me who’s boss Stop me if you’ve heard all this before tonight... I want you, with a splash of viniagrette A little bit of the tangy, with the crunchy bangy bangy of a tete a’ tete I want you, with a little bit of propane Careful with the flammable contents around an open flame.
