Gravity Days 03:13
gravity days, light gravity days float along the sea shore crawl across the rocks some days I feel so heavy some days I feel so light days make me dizzy nights make me sleep tight now I'm king of this island leader of the world my brain is getting heavier now I'm king of this rock leader of the world my eyes are getting heavier gravity days, light gravity days some days I live a fairly tale some days I live a lie words make me lazy sound makes me cry gravity days, light gravity days

I'm A Radio 04:02
I'm a radio, I'm airwaves, I'm FM, I'm AM. I'm a radio, I'm floating, I'm laughing, I'm talking. I'm a radio, I'm antennas, I'm dials, I'm knobs. I’m a radio, I’m energy, I am angry, I’m not a radio

The Monster of Martin Street likes little children to eat has eyes like caves making people it's slaves The Monster of Martin Street is a nuclear physicist has a brain like a rock oh, what a shock no one passes by Martin Street no one ever walks in the dark no one sleeps under bridges no one has a glimpse or spark The Monster of Martin Street is searching for victims in a city of frowns and neighborhood of clowns The Monster of Martin Street puts on it's make up does up it's hair dances with flair everyone passes by Martin Street everyone is awakened by screams everyone has thumbs in their ears everyone has evil twin dreams

it starts with an exchange of gifts ends with a worthwhile experiment what a birthday party it was this year wasn't it a beautiful thing? he turned out the lights tonight and rushed off to get some cigarettes "my son likes pretty girls," he said "along with a slew of empty threats." we are the entertainment at this special engagement we are the jesters at this liquidation nobody smiles in this neighborhood yet nobody has a care old men and women are romancing with their children in their underwear

I'm your average worker bee working all the time I'm buzzing around the hive it's buzzing in my mind I'm your average robot man programmed to perform I'm buzzing and clicking buzzing, clicking, conformed I'm concerned I'm losing it I think I'm breaking down I can't work, I don't think I think I'm breaking down I'm buzzing-I'm breaking down I'm your average worker bee working and working I'm buzzing around my head I'm buzzing till I'm dead I'm concerned I'm losing it I think I'm breaking down I can't work, I don't think I'm buzzing all around I'm buzzing-I'm breaking down

The Divorce 03:27
an overdue notice and a rocking chair some people look better than others with bows in their hair a one time up and comer has left with his things I'm sure that you'd really miss him and all the love he'd bring a psychopath killer now your best friend you've shared blood and sweat and tears and everything your little sisters and brothers are gone with the wind but you are so over it and you always win
