Have you seen my Mongoose?
Seems it got loose
Matchbox car
Have you seen my Mongoose?
Last time I saw it
it was in a box of baseball cards
Have you seen my Mongoose?
Have you seen my Mongoose?
Oh! It seems it got loose
Can't find it anywhere
My matchbox car
Is lost I swear!
Last time I saw it
Was in a box of baseball cards
Have you seen my Mongoose?
Have you seen my Mongoose?

I dont wanna be afraid
I don't wanna die this way
I always thought I had a choice
I always thought I had a voice to say
That I don't wanna have a fight
Stand with what is just and right today
I don't wanna die because
you stand just 5 feet high, no way
All my life
I feared the worst
I always knew that
they'd strike first
I just want to live my life
My family, friends, my pets my wife, my scene
I know I've been an average man
I've done my best to be a human being
I've been aggressive, I've been bad
I've punched a few and had my clock cleaned
But I don't wanna die because
You have a tiny tool and you are mean
All my life
I feared the worst
I always knew that
they'd strike first
Sudden death is possible
If missiles hit my vicinity
But worrying about the end
Will surely be much worse for me
So I won't suffer anymore
I'll stay put and certainly won't flee
Because I'm happy, did my best
And your war has nothing to do with me
All my life
I feared the worst
I always knew that
they'd strike first

So lookie here
I don't feel a thing
I took my roadkill denial skills
and now I look the other way
as 1500 people die everyday
I'm cool with vaccine,
therapy but I see suffering
but I don't fear
Die, don't feel a thing
I see healthcare workers burning out
but I don't feel a thing anymore
At first I was so excited
But now I'm bored
Worried
Afraid
Numb
Over
It
I don't care I don't care I don't care I don't care I don't care
I don't feel a fucking thing
you say 'fuck my feelings?'
I don't have any feelings left for you to fuck
and I don't care, I say I care
but I dont care, nobody cares anyway
advice form the dead
Worried
Afraid
Numb
Over
It

Listen how people use the word FAT
you can learn a lot about a person at the laundromat
Listen how people use the word SCORE
you can learn a lot about a person at the grocery store
Listen how people use the word COP
you can learn a lot about a person at a 4 way stop
Don't you ever wonder when a man survives two plane crashes
if he's causing plane crashes or is it coincidence?
Violet Jessop sinks ships
Listen how people use the word YOU
you can learn a lot about a man by how he acts at the zoo
Listen how people use the word CHEAT
you can learn a lot about a person by what they eat
Listen how people use the word SHAME
you can learn a lot about a person by who they blame
Do you think when a woman is widowed twice
that she might be killing these guys or is it happenstance?

June (Freedom of Speech)
01:31

Freedom of speech ain't pretty
it's downright ugly
and the truth?
Forget about it
for the love of individualism my friends
please stop sharing memes
there's a whole lot of you bloviating
on all sides
argumentative mother fuckers
Fuck the space force
we need peace and race force
Jobs are up; recouped from April losses
If you go back to work
you're just reporting to your bosses
that is not job creation
it's going back to the job
to the job
Fire the US attorney, why not?
A bad workman always blames his tools
What is Godwin's law for trump?
Hobbesian bellum omnium contra omnes
...don't hear that every day
Radioactive isotopes are coursing through my veins
Covid cases are spiking so let's open up
Let's open up Gemini

My life is what nature gave me
Thanks mom and dad for getting it on
I'm glad I'm here although there were times
I wish I'd never been born at all
I will walk
I won't fall
I will dream
I won't stall
I'm doing well although I worry about stuff
Sometimes I get upset but then I've had enough
I reset and everything is wonderful and fine
Basking in the glow of eternal sunshine
I will fly
I won't die
I'll live forever
In your arms

Aluminum Poisoning
02:32
|

|
I'm crazy in love with you
I drink you and your bubbles too
I feel the ph balance in my blood
it rushes over my mind in a hundred year a flood
I like mongolian beef with white onions
I like my sauce MSG and hoisining
I think I've had too much for one lifetime
I have aluminium poisoning
I have aluminium poisoning
aluminium poisoning
I have aluminium poisoning
one can at a time
I think I have to give you a rest
I'm tired and forgetting what I last said
Last night before I went to bed
How did I end up in this bed?
I have aluminium poisoning
aluminium poisoning
I have aluminium poisoning
one can at a time

Tie
03:39
|

|
I've got stained glass on my wall
representing all four seasons
I've got white socks in a bag
on my piano and hanging in my closet
I've got ties with stains on them
that I'll never wear (and I don't care)
Light switch sun and moon
The moon's winking at me
My work is done here
I've made up my mind
I finally feel like
I'm not falling behind
My work is done here
And I'm alright
I already have a favorite dish
A favorite band and a favorite fish
There's no changing that I want to change
The idea of something new seems so strange
I will likely die before I ever
buy a tie again
And that's okay
My work is done here
I've made up my mind
I finally feel like
I'm not falling behind
My work here is done
And I'm alright
My work is done
And i'M okay
I've made up my mind
I finally feel like
I'm not falling behind
I've made up my mind
I've made up my mind
There's no changing that I want to change
The idea of something NEW seems so strange
I will likely die before I ever
buy a tie again
And that's okay

Hooray ooh ray
Hooray ooh ray
Hooray ooh ray
Hooray ooh ray
Sun is out today
Bamboo leaves are flat they
no longer look like cigarettes
the gardens growing a beet
and the rats are hey hey! hooray ooh ray!
The weather's changing
Autumn in the sky
sky is blue and
I feel so good inside
Halloween approaching
Autumn is my favorite ti-eee-ime
Hooray ooh ray
Hooray ooh ray
Hooray ooh ray
I went to the kitchen
and grabbed some leftover soup
Microwaved a cup of cardamom coffee
It was sad, it wanted me
I wanted it
we got back together
I drank it!!!
The sky is blue
The bamboo leaves are flat
they're no longer round like cigarettes
and the rats in my yard ate my garden
that's fine, it's nature
That's alright
Halloween is coming!
Yeah!

Pansy (Survival)

Pansy so delicate
your name is spoken in vein
derogatory fame
Soft and weak
You're nothing like cactus
hibiscus or oleander
And then the winter came
and everything dried up and died
leaves fell from the trees
the Hibiscus cried
The flowers fell from
the highway divide
The cactus shriveled up inside
Who was left after the freeze
under the bamboo and budding trees
wasn't the rose or the mighty sunflower
It was the soft little weakling without any power
The Pansy drowned but never died
The Pansy blossomed and survived
You're welcome to use my name in vein
Because you're all dead an I'm the same
mighty pansy

Closed On Sundays

There's this town I know
It's where I've seen
A lot of kindness hopes and dreams
In Jesus name Amen!
Where women and their men
Live happily and free
In Jesus name Amen
Free from all of "THEM"
I go there every now and then
The scenery is beautiful (stay away from "THEM")
The green in summer
the colors of autumn
They're out everyday
Except for school on Sunday
When I get hungry I want some Chik-fil-a
but they are closed on Sunday for school on Sunday
This new world order is closed on Sundays
Play dumb and watch ball on Funday
It's our chance to escape and run away
Cuz racism and hate recharge on Sunday
In the name of God
God they say
It's our chance to escape and run away
This new world is closed on Sundays
Except for school, school on Sundays
Play dumb and watch ball on Sunday
It's our chance to escape and run away
Because racism and hate recharge on Sunday
racism and hate recharge on Sunday
In Jesus name Amen!
Live happily and free from "THEM"
Free from "THEM"
All men are created equal...
...except "THEM"

Magistrate
02:37
|

We exchanged turkey sandwiches and
painted random cinder block bricks
on dorm room walls
It wasn't too long before we
decided to get married
and move away from these halls
Did I want a wedding back home
or did I just want to be hitched
That's where I first saw the magistrate
Captured the marriage on video tape
Dressed up in my blues
And she was waiting there with
a fancy white dress and flowers in her hair
Cold and white outside the courthouse
That's where I first saw the magistrate
I played back the tape
And she was awesome
In her tie & long black gown
I was nervous and
it was darling and cute
and we were kind of funny
and I kind of liked
what was going down
what I saw and what she did
And what I saw what she said and how it worked ....
That's where I first saw the magistrate
Captured the marriage on video tape
Dressed up in my blues
And she was waiting there with
a fancy white dress and flowers in her hair
cold and white outside the courthouse
That's where I first saw the magistrate
first saw the magistrate
first saw the magistrate
The consummate and quintessential
Authority and professional
I wonder what lucky guy would consummate
the magistrate
I wondered if I could ever become

She's riding white horses
Eyes, eyes as black as midnight
She sees more
She's aware of me
She's the girl with the belladonna eyes
and she's flying high, high in the sky
She's the girl with the belladonna story
she bores me
she bored me, ignored me, scorned me
she loves me she hates me
I love you I hate you
She's the girl with the belladonna eyes
and she's flying high, high in the sky
She's got a brand new outfit
ever since she left the brown
going down going down going down
going down going down going down

Rock the cradle
What to do?
She's baby bankrupt
I steal from Peter
To feed you

My wallet's flat

Everything I spent for you
Now I'm stuck what do I do?
Now you're free, your life is good
I steal from Peter to buy my food
Baby bankrupt
She's come to get me
Baby bankrupt
I steal from Peter
To feed me
Tried to work it
I owe more than I make
She's baby bankrupt
She's come back to take
Everything I spent for you
Now I'm stuck what do I do?
Now you're free your life is good
I steal from Peter to buy my food
Baby bankrupt
She's come to get me
I steal from Peter
To feed me

Solar Winds Blew Across my face
I was taken to a better place
I was tripping on Mercury
It was Venus who tickled my fancy
Scorpio Cancer Virgo Moon
That's my vital information
Look up at the twinkling stars
To see my certain constellation
Fortune Cookie I'm a dragon
Horoscope and Tarot Nation too
To see my Chinese constellation
You gotta wait until the new moon
Scorpio dark and secret type cast
Mysterious, distant this is true
I'll write you a poem if you promise
not to read it tonight
read it tonight
Came by 5 times in 18 hours hours
I'll come again if you want me too
I wrote you a scribbled note but
I haven't delivered it yet
delivered it yet
Ursa Major Ursa Minor
I cannot bear to be near you
Virgo wants a piece of cake
And Cancer wants to care for you
Mars is my planet but I
haven't made my mind up if
Wanna go yet
