Riding Hood 03:26
Wolfy stepped off the bus It was a quiet little village and it liked to rust As he took a nip of plastic bottle of vodka from his hip pocket He was down in the dust “a hell of a lousy place this is, I think I’m gonna piss all over it - you know I will...” Well there you are my smiling senior, Your cookies are surely baking, rising, Wolfy gets to thinkin’ that he’s hypnotized ‘She’s so nice, She’s so nice’ “You look famished boy. Won’t you come into my humble home and I will feed you right, I’m gonna feed you right I am... Fresh hot cookies from the oven boy, you have a dozen they’re good for you “These look great, my granny friend - the thing is though, I’m gonna eat you too!” Down she went, belly of the beast, Pickin’ his teeth, the wolfy had a feast and Rap rap rappin’ on the door, It’s a little little little Girl “Granny are you home I say? ‘Cause I’ve been following you all day. And who’s that wolfman? Who’s that wolfman? My what big teeth you have, hey motherfucker give me back my grandma Riding Hood with the smoking gun Granny laughs and they’re on the run, once again. Riding Hood always have such fun. I don’t recommend that you give that little girl a gun, No! Ridin’ Hood, Ridin’ Hood, never knew cappin’ wolves could feel this good (x8)

From the Skymall to the window, You see a lot of pools. There’s so many little houses, I’m not sure of which to choose So I’ll eat my snacks and I’ll take my drink Let the magazines tell me what I should think. The sky is falling upward, and the ground is in a frame You know you see a lot of rooftops, I guess everywhere’s the same. ‘Cause this paper’s clean and it’s hard to think And the flight attendant asks but I don’t need another drink. I know I don’t have much time. So I’ll make sure that I get this right. Well maybe someday I know I don’t have much time. So I’ll make sure that I get this right. Well maybe someday

Pokegama 03:06
We floated in Pokegama golf course Came before, mosquito feed, landlords Greeted by a family man, on electric horse Said to his children grow up and Explore the world Catch what you can and You make it work, Well children you go up and Spread the word We chucked the ‘bee, sweet release, found us all I had this thought that we were not very un-alone The sky explodes, exposing all, fungal overtones. When it was over, it had begun. Purest of feeling, I had to run, Children grow up, and get it done. Children grow up, and spread your love.

Booty Scones 04:29
Buttertop beauty come to answer all my wishes, See her walkin’ by lookin’ utterly delicious So I stroll up, Say “Baby what’s the holdup? I wanna lick your body like I lick a Fruit Roll-Up” But she didn’t dig it, said I better quit it - but you know me, I gotsta hit it. So I tried again, “Sorry if I offend, but that booty’s so flakey I just wanna be its friend” So let me put it in my oven see that dough rise need some booty scone lovin’ ‘Cause when the feeling’s right, I need my doughy delight Call you up on the phone, ‘cause baby - you my booty scone Booty Scones! Booty Scones! (x2) Finally get the digits so you know it’s for real, Yo booty’s the banana and your pants the peel So girl, I think you’re really something, your booty’s poppin’ out like the top of a muffin wanna squeeze it, hopefully that’ll please it, You know I like it fresh so baby please don’t freeze it. Some guys like nips, others like Cheez-Its but I’m all about the scones, If I can’t buy it then I lease it. Booty Scones! Booty Scones! (x2)

All But You 02:54
I’m so tired, I’m so tired I’m so tired of losing touch, of missing our love way too much I’m so tired. It’s too late, It’s too late It’s too late to take a shot, after giving all I’ve got It’s too late. I’ve done all I can do, I’ve given up all but you. All but you I don’t belong, I don’t belong No I don’t belong to you, I know it’s crazy, know it’s true I don’t belong. What else can I do? I’ve tried to see it through. You (x2)

The Odyssey 05:17
Twelve quarters, no change. These cats will never be the same, Ten fingers, strollin’ livin.’ The sun dies in the grass of the Pacific, yet it seems that everything will be ok and this daily life can’t stay the same yet it seems that holdin’ on won’t change a thing, But I know that I’m gonna do it anyway We know our time is almost up, Holdin’ on ‘cause it ain’t over yet.
