01. You Know, Lavender
Up cross the land there’s only one answer
Everyone here is only a savage
It’s an idiot’s kind of planet,
But I’m getting used to it
You can’t be here it’s a VIP only
You can’t be here with your identification
Everyone here is only theirselves but
Anyone with some haircuts are flying
By gum we only want it
Who can say that?
You can’t say what you want
Cause you don’t know what you want
Everyone here is an idiot planet
Knowing machines are ravaging all
Go down slowly
Not in love with now
Feel it, say you did
Across the planet everyone’s dancing
No one knows what the macarena is
Who cares about 1975
I know you do
Anyone who can read the directions
Only knows what they can decipher
But I don’t do that anymore
You can say that when you go down town you know, lavender
’s on sale at the store

02. STOP
Driving around in my 80’s convertible
No one can stop ‘cause I’m on a roll
No one know what’s in my head beans
Because I’m making a plan
I plan to go down to the widow’s house
And take her furniture
She’s not gonna like it
Oh no no she won’t
But she can deal with it
Because I need to furnish my new apartment
Hey, I’m down in my car now
Everyone’s driving down to Savannah
Is it north or is it south
I guess that depends on where you started from
I’m gonna go visit my great aunt Rebecca
She doesn’t exist anymore
But she does on some other planet
Where I can be a
Grocery store worker
Putting stuff in bags (Stop putting fruit in bags!)
We all know that no one wants to do that
But I say too bad (Tough titties! That’s too bad)
Stop doing anything that you don’t want to do
I said stop doing anything that you don’t want to
You don’t want to
You don’t want to do

03. Spider
Spider
Spider legs
Give me answers now
To all my problems
I can’t hide this therapist
Much longer than I already have
Come on little spider,
Come on little spider
You got your great big eyes
You got your eight long legs
You can’t save me from myself
But I guarantee you could
Hypnotize me one more time
I would let you into my bank account
And let you count it out
You could give me all of your possessions
You could help me get out of myself
But I know you don’t care anymore
Since you went away
You can’t be here in the
Corner where I used to keep the desk
I moved it so you could find a home
But I never anticipated you would grow

04. Two Shoes
83 gallons of something I left behind
I don’t why or what your problem is
You can’t ever anticipate
Why I left you down in the valley
I don’t wanna be here anymore,
But I signed a contract
It’s at least a year lease
Guess I’ll make the most of it
You can’t get around town
With only your bicycle
Anyway you can’t wear your roller skates
While you’re peddling your big old bicycle
Anyone who tells you you look like
Sharon from next door is wrong
They’re projecting their deepest
Fears on you anyway
Every time I go to your house
I find an ancient popsicle
Can you tell me something’s wrong with your life?
There’s only two shoes here but
Between us, we have four feet.
What are we going to do?
I said what are we going to do?
It’s confusing to be alive

05. Patrons of Yesteryear
Patrons of yesteryear,
Sign my yearbook now
There’s a secret government agency after me
Anyone who invented wheels will understand
Why I can’t be present for your funeral
Patrons of yesteryear
Anyone you can see with two eyes
Isn’t wearing 3D glasses probably
Patrons of yesteryear
Do you remember when brooms were invented?
Oh do you now?
Is your name Stella or is Adele?
Is it Giuseppe or is it Estelle?
Anyone whose name starts with a vowel can’t be trusted
Anyway, you can trust me, my friend
But can you? I am a pigeon

06. Garbage
Hot ditty song
Have you seen it?
Where did he go?
I cannot answer anything more than my name
I can’t understand why I can’t understand
English my ancient language
Can you forgive me my friend?
I’ll run away, I run away
Everything I say is garbage
You always try to recognize yourself
Hey, you are face down in the landscape
Dowwwwwwwn
You figure it out
You will believe you will always
Come in the sands now can’t understand now
Closer to my home than I’m singing
We’re always lacking in candy
I will rabbit this thing now
Cannot give what I can’t believe

07. Calendar
Why do I keep it?
Why do I keep this calendar
In my pocket? I don’t
Get anything from it
Why do I keep it?
Why do I keep this handkerchief?
Anyone knows that handkerchiefs
Are lying bags of everything
You can escape what you
Do not agree to
Anyone knows this
But they will not admit to it
Why do I keep thi?
Why do I keep this calendar?
Every day another box on
This piece of recycled paper
Why do I keep this?
Why do I keep this calendar?
It confuses me
But I can’t stand to let it go
Let it go
Let it get your calendar
Gotta get your calendar
Rip it to bits and destroy your calendar
Rip it to bits and destroy your mother fucking calendar

09. Monkey in the Bathroom
There’s a sound making me afraid
You can tell that something’s gonna happen
There’s a monkey hiding somewhere in the bathroom
I’m telling you I’ve lost my way
There’s nobody who’s shaking from the trees
I don’t know if I can even believe
I know there’s no getting over this, now
But please don’t be cross with me
Something’s gonna happen
Something’s gonna happen already

10. Can of Beans
Let me tell you about a place
Where I used to hide
There were snakes and bottle caps
And it smelled like chalk
Watch me with your telescope
See my hands as wings
I can tell you pity me
But I’m strong as hell
Show me how to leave this body
Let me in your dreams
Everything is washing through
I’m a can of beans
