My Frenzy
02:07
|
|||
|
This frenzy is kinda like
crawling up a wall
in the corner of a white
room like the one at the
Museum of Modern Art
Chorus:
My frenzy, my very own very own frenzy
just what mother nature's all about
any day now it'll go away now
kinda like a person confined to a car
Hang on to me like a suction dart
tug across my scalp and be in the way
bite my lip cause curses to come out
talk a mile a minute when I thought I was quiet
Chorus
Invite me to dinner
I'm done and haven't even begun
just one time why can't it move slow
my great frenzy is old yet I never can know
I'm telling you
what it's all about
a near frenzy is
nothin' like the one that keeps you up
my frenzy is a ship flying in the night
Chorus

Legionnaires' Syndrome
03:04
|

|
She did her legs with Nair
Ate lunch from Tupperware
Auburn dye for her hair
All for the Leggionaire
Cold tiki glasses
And tropical flowers
She's blissfully dreaming of
The happy hour she'll meet him
All for the Leggionaire
Chorus 1:
Legionnaires' syndrome
Set me down on my exercise bike
Legionnaires' syndrome
Chorus 2:
Take me away
Give me Rolaids
To cope with this slow aching heartburn
I'm pulling the rope
She trimmed the lawn just north
Of the porcelain dwarves
Then walked to the street to watch
The Commerce Parade crowd
Rubbed Lysol on her coat
Someone screamed out a joke
No time to think of how
The TV would burn
Chorus 1 and 2
From flower to flower
She'd flit by the hour
From this cause to that cause
But oh what a big mistake that was
Though she wore the hat
Of the world's welcome mat
It bore no compunction
For her scatological functions
Chorus 1
She's riding to where
There's more savior faire
Where bygones are bygones
And somebody leaves the night light on
Legionnaires' syndrome
Chorus 2

A Visit To Appleton
01:22
|
|||
|
Wives have finished their ironing, Appleton grows quiet
Their children sleep, they dream at night
They can dream at last so tell me how
They'll breathe in their starched polyester suits
Children gather round and take a spin
On life's big game show you can win
Plastic flatware, a paneled den
A set of genitals like Barbie and Ken
Scrapbook pages turn back to silent years
Crepe paper dances, silver tears
A trial by jury of your peers
Ghosts drive by in their painted souvenirs
Ghosts drive by in Appleton town

Buzzer rings. Franklin Exchange.
Walk down the yellow hallway
Looking for you at the usual time
Scratched your name with a pocket knife.
Happy face and Borden cow
The old men play a game of balls
A question of how she'll pay for the locks
One two three four striking clocks
Chorus:
I always seen more than I should
I looked down into the bottom of the well
Maybe he's crazy but he's sane enough
Happy face and car alarm
I dreamed last night of
Sweet angels and Thelonius Monk
We sucked ripe pieces of cantaloupe
Now I just remember fragments
I used the pencils, plants and flowers
The boys cracked up while I hardened
You put the gas pedal down and I got scared
"They've gone boating, not back today"
Just wanted your history, anyway.
"Tell the truth"
"Tell what you see"
Cancer, piss and pocket knife
You can trust this friend for life
Peace sign, blue tip, I got robbed
Boating captains, genie of balls
Toenail clippers, magic feather
Talking, whispering to each other
Pinball romantic walking paces
I love you most of all my dearest.

Man of a Million Words
01:54
|
|||
|
Every evening after work
I walk by the man of a million words
His grave responsibility
His sorry lot
To spew a million words to free the world
Disgorging information like the rapids of a river
He sits
By the Hyatt or the Bank of America
Big bam slam on the B of A
Nixon's on first base, Nixon's on first base
Who'd have thought a nameless soul like him
Appointed to send the flood to begin
Chorus:
He's the man of a million words
The man of a million words
The man of a million words
The man of a million words
He's a babbling brook in the present tense
And I was doused by his stream of consciousness
Protozoans float among the life affirming theories
While dead crustaceans haunt the boulevards of Paris
In and out of the Shop 'n Save
Take your pick of antelopes, cantaloupes and minerals
Chorus
