Chicken in the Backyard

It’s dark but I can’t sleep
I’m maxing out my boogie ’stead of counting sheep
A shave, a dollar, a day
A thousand happy lies and nothing else to say
The photogenic feast
An eyeball and a finger in to feed the beast
Whoa, got a chicken in the backyard
Whoa, got a chicken in the backyard
Whoa, got a chicken in the backyard
Whoa
The wolves won’t eat the sheep
There’s ever present trouble but you can’t be beat
The packages in a pile
We’re ringing every doorbell for a country mile
You glaze, you boil, you bake
You’re living from your pocket, can you catch a break?
Whoa, got a chicken in the backyard
Whoa, got a chicken in the backyard
Whoa, got a chicken in the backyard
Whoa
The phosphorescent snack
Don’t worry where you’re going, you ain’t coming back
A gram, a dollar, a day
Your friends all in a circle, can’t get out that way
The square that shines so bright
We’re all in this together, gonna be all right
Whoa, got a chicken in the backyard
Whoa, got a chicken in the backyard
Whoa, got a chicken in the backyard
Whoa
Whoa, got a chicken in the backyard
Whoa, got a chicken in the backyard
Whoa, got a chicken in the backyard
Whoa

Tell Me

Monday’s here, it’s the devil’s day
A cup of cold coffee and we’re on our way
A cry bubbles up from down near my spleen
But I stifle it ‘fore it hits my throat
Tuesday’s here and there’s no escape
Is this a sidelong jag or a cruel jape?
A girl from Nevada boards a bus one way
And she knows back home there’ll be hell to pay
So please tell me what to say
‘Cause I’m too afraid to say anything
Tell me what to say
And I’ll get by, I’ll get by
Wednesday is the worst of all
But she’s on her feet, she’s standing tall
It can be hard when you’re born like this
So move on after the good-bye kiss
Thursday and things are looking up
The cold coffee’s back and it fills my cup
She’s quietly desperate, there’s hell to pay
But she’ll pay the price and be on her way
So please tell me what to say
‘Cause I’m too afraid to say anything
Tell me what to say
And I’ll get by, I’ll get by
Friday night’s the time for fun
So kick your heels, ‘cause the slaving’s done
It’s party time, she’ll show some style
Let it all go just a little while
The weekend’s the time to remind yourself
Of everything that you put on that shelf
So blow off the dust and oil the gears
Roll it on back just a couple of years
So please tell me what to say
‘Cause I’m too afraid to say anything
Tell me what to say
And I’ll get by, I’ll get by
So please tell me what to say
‘Cause I’m too afraid to say anything
Tell me what to say
And I’ll get by, I’ll get by

Dig Deep

Have no fear, the king returns
No more usurpers to the throne
Upstarts, imposters, time is done
Rejoice rejoice, the king is home
For many years, cast out beyond
In lands of doubt, far past the dawn
An age of darkness, fear and doubt
It ends today, please cast it out
You gotta dig deep, gotta dig deep
Gotta keep our eyes from sleep
Cause first a day and then a week will pass you by
You gotta dig deep, gotta dig deep
Gotta read ‘em, then you weep
Cause in the end all you can ever do is try
Distracted, scattered, lost in thought
You think you are what you are not
The sea that swims, unclog the drain
Arrange the neurons, make a brain
For your whole life, cast out beyond
There is no darkness, only dawn
Release the pain, the fear, the doubt
It ends today, please cast it out
You gotta dig deep, gotta dig deep
Gotta keep our eyes from sleep
Cause first a day and then a week will pass you by
You gotta dig deep, gotta dig deep
Gotta read ‘em, then you weep
Cause in the end all you can ever do is try
You gotta dig deep, gotta dig deep
Gotta keep our eyes from sleep
Cause first a day and then a week will pass you by
You gotta dig deep, gotta dig deep
Gotta read ‘em, then you weep
Cause in the end all you can ever do is try
You gotta dig deep, gotta dig deep
Gotta keep our eyes from sleep
Cause first a day and then a week will pass you by
You gotta dig deep, gotta dig deep
Gotta read ‘em, then you weep
Cause in the end all you can ever do is try

It’s late at night, you’re aimless walking round the town
You’ve always said that it doesn’t get you down
You’re tracing circles, your head is spinning round, spinning round
You’ve always known that you’re destined for renown
A little mission, a little something good
You’ve got your buddies and you’ve got some buud
ODBC, your head is swimming now, swimming now
You mostly do the things you should
11 at 11, 21 by 3 is 7
Find your spark and have a good time out tonight
The sea below, the stars above
Gorillas in the mist we love
11 at 11 ok all right
Later on you’re at the shore
Balanced keen, but you’re still up for more
You’ve always known that there’s only one way down, one way down
But in between there is so much in store
A fleeting flicker in the night
You’re never wrong but you never feel quite right
Don’t let the slippage ever bring you down, bring you down
No matter when, you’re out tonight
11 at 11, 21 by 3 is 7
Find your spark and have a good time out tonight
The sea below, the stars above
Gorillas in the mist we love
11 at 11 ok all right
11 at 11, 21 by 3 is 7
Find your spark and have a good time out tonight
The sea below, the stars above
Gorillas in the mist we love

Maybe you’re on a boat to Aditi
Maybe you’re gonna go real far
Maybe you’re tired and lonesome
Maybe you should have stayed in the car
But I know that road you’re on
And I know where it goes
All I have to teach to you
Everyone knows
Maybe some day we’ll go to Tahiti
When you’re big and strong like your old man
Maybe we’ll find a way through the storm
There’s time for us if we live outside the plan
But I know that road you’re on
And I know where it goes
All I have to teach to you
Everyone knows
Cause Aditi’s where you’re from
Aditi’s where you’ll go
My empty head the only thing I know
Cause Aditi’s where you’re from
Aditi’s where you’ll go
My empty head the only thing I know
Cause Aditi’s where you’re from
Aditi’s where you’ll go
My empty head the only thing I know

Electrostatic Chills
05:05

You feel it? It crackles in the air
Electrostatic energy, it messes up my hair
Sensation, it’s unlike any else
It overwhelms and undermines, makes me forget myself
But how am I supposed to find
A way to keep my peace of mind
I’ve got to find some way to pay my bills
Before they come for me and take away my one and only thrill
Electrostatic Chills
In 3 the good things must all end
The clock’s running down, so hey let’s just be friends
Can’t help it, it’s unlike any pill
It’s you and you alone that gives me those electrostatic chills
But how am I supposed to find
A way to keep my peace of mind
I’ve got to find some way to pay my bills
Before they come for me and take away my one and only thrill
Electrostatic Chills
But how am I supposed to find
A way to keep my peace of mind
I’ve got to find some way to pay my bills
Before they come for me and take away my one and only thrill
Electrostatic Chills

Float
04:20

You float but then you stumble
Meet the surface, slide on through
Below, breathe in the water
Reveal a second self in shades of blue
So this is light, so this is heat
So this is love, so this is war
Lay down your head
Slide off the table
Insert the quarter
Come back for more
You’ll float before you crumble
Recall the feeling that you outgrew
You scan, but only static in
The failing signal, you’re back to blue
So this is light, so this is heat
So this is love, so this is war
Lay down your head
Slide off the table
Insert the quarter
Come back for more
So this is light, so this is heat
So this is love, so this is war
Lay down your head
Slide off the table
Insert the quarter
Come back for more

Big Fish
05:42

Big fish, small pond, no room to grow
And whither next? No way to know
So make your move and sprout some feet
You know it’s time to go
Release the shackles, break the binds
The empty pool, but in their minds
Anoxic water spreads
And oh the walls are closing in
Soaked and scrawled, besotted stares
They may not like you, but who cares
Cut ‘em loose and flow
You know it’s time to go
You want to be a big fish? You leave a small pond
To be a big fish, you leave a small pond
To be a big fish, you leave a small pond
To be a big fish, you leave a small pond
Na na na na na na na na na na na
The hooks drift lazy on their lines
You’re lost save hope for better times
Can you survive exposed?
Do you have room to grow?
Silver scales scatter light
You’ve seen them all cut down in flight
The home you’ve lost and still
The next evades your grasp
Out here in air, the world your own
The frozen tower stands alone
Stark and open space
You know it’s time to get to work
You want to be a big fish? You leave a small pond
To be a big fish, you leave a small pond
To be a big fish, you leave a small pond
To be a big fish, you leave a small pond
Na na na na na na na na na na na

Unravel

Well I took a road less traveled
And hell, I paid the price
Now you can watch as I unravel
Here towards the end it sure feels nice
Once I lost my nerve I fought to suffer
Coming on a decade late I have enough
Though many ride beside me, no connection
All I see my windshield, my reflection
Now we’ll have a quick palaver
What we find, we’ll make it right
I ain’t got time for bly and blather
In the end, I got no fight
As I cruise a million miles from my protection
Winking out, a blot against the sun
We’ll start over, serenade, and scout direction
Just remember that the trouble’s all the fun
