We crash out on the carpet
string all of your records on the floor
and while Serge Gainsbourg sings "Bonnie and Clyde"
you worry, Do I seem a bore?
and we creep around the questions
you politely can't ignore
and you'll cover your hands to your head and exclaim
I'm afraid that I might want more!
(pre chorus)
And the truth is I'm exploding
subtlelty is not my specialty
if you took a look inside my head
you'd probably be aghast at what you'd see
Nervously you're asking if I feel the same
while I'm trying not to scream
(chorus)
Fuck yeah, I'm in love with you!
Fuck yeah, you're in love with me too
and when our worlds they collide
I'm fit to be tied
and if everyone died I would scream
Fuck yeah, I'm in love with you!
Fuck yeah, you're in love with me too
and I don't care if it's right or it's wrong to break down
but I'd belt it from every church pew
We dream in your apartment
Sleep until the sun begins to wain
and we'll try to remember the words to a song
that are lodged at the end of our brains
and we'll creep around the silence
until the small talk starts to stall
and we'll try to pretend
there's no means to an end
and there's nothing to break this fall
(chorus)
Even if the sun melted tomorrow
or the atmosphere withdrew
and the Russians launched a full scale war
and we faced impending doom
while the paratroopers all corraled us
I'd make sure everybody knew
Fuck Yeah, I'm in love with you!

Looks like today
you're twenty two
and you still dream
of Hollywood
but next to you
lies sound asleep
your lead balloon
You'll lay in bed
awake and spoon
stare outside
at the moon
but you can't fly
cause your tied to
your lead balloon
and maybe years
or sometime soon
you'll cut the string
that's tied to you
that keeps you here
close to me
your lead balloon

Darla and Her Dog

Darla and her dog used to go on adventures, taking on the weather, it didn’t really mater. Darla and her dog would do each other favors, waking up the neighbors at three AM.
Darla and her dog never knew no difference, and though lacking ambition, they were on a mission.
Since Darla had her binge, she sorta came unhinged. Her decisions weren’t efficient at all. Since Darla’s attitude, she sorta came unglued. Who knew but you too of the dog.
What of the dog?
What a good dog!
Darla and her dog, when they got separated, we thought neither one would make it though the night. Darla and her dog don’t remember eatch other or the time the were together cause its bee awhile.
Since Darla had her binge, she sorta came unhinged. Her decisions weren’t efficient at all. Since darla came unhinged she sorta lost interest in her decisions. Don’t you hate it when you wake up feeling different?
What of the dog?
What a good dog!

Herbert Had A Dream

Herbert had a dream
the world was closing in
His wife was leaving him
for his younger brother Tim
He tossed and he turned
'til the tears started to churn
and rivers quickly formed
while the room began to flood
Leaking like a sieve
the walls began to give
the neighbors clung to trees
while Herbert's tears rolled through the streets
The mayor tried to think
"We must wake Herbert from his sleep
Tell his wife we need her now!"
And Doris swam quickly through town
pleading
"Sweet Herbert dear, we're drowning
please stop crying I'm right here
you're covering the world up with your tears
Hurry Herbert wake
before we're washed away"
The town began to sink
but Herbert never blinked
The army called for help
but the waters rose to quick
The Mayor grabbed his gun
"Something drastic must be done
We'll shoot him in his sleep!"
and Dorris dropped down to her knees
pleading
"Sweet Herbert dear, we're drowning
please stop crying I'm right here
you're covering the world up with your tears
Hurry Herbert wake
before I'm washed away"

Mr. Popular

Mr. popular and wife, Mrs popular, arrive at the party after nine. Always fashionably late, thats great. Mr Popular and friends, not as popular as him (they all feel blessed in his presence, I think that’s why the love spending time with him (they hang on every word and it borders on absurd))
Every dance craze starts with you!
Every word of slang does too!
Every new record review gets pre-approved and, AS IF ON CUE, we all look to you
Mr. Popular and his family!
They’re the source of all our vanity AH!
Mr. Popular and son, little popular jr., are spending the day together. He shows him everything he knows (and that’s a lot). Mr. Popular and daughter don’t speak to each other since the day they caught her drunk. She just can’t relate to being that way. She has better things to do in her spare time
Than starting every fashion trend and being everyones best friend and the center of attention after school and at home she’s ridiculed for not fitting in with Mr. Popular and his family. They’re the cause of her insanity AH!

and I love you
like you love Christmas
just like distance
equals rate times time
and time is flying
through the clouds shaped
just like horses
that fell asleep in the sky
and we'll fly spaceships
in to the ocean
and watch the fishes
reading Russian novels about God
and God will look down
he'll lose an eyelash
he'll make a wish and
everyone will start to dance
We'll live in snowglobes
and stare out the window
when it gets cold
we'll use our beds to make a fire
and when the fire spreads
we'll sell to islands
where all the people
are flying trapeze artists in the sky
and we'll grow old there
one day I'll die
you'll bring flowers
maybe even start to cry
then a fish will say
remember that wish
God made on his eyelash
it was that you'd ever forget that
I'll always love you
like you love Christmas
just like distance
it always equals rate times time
