Sherlock Holmes

Uptown, there was a murder
I'm not sure who it was
Oh, Sherlock Holmes?
Someone said they heard her
And they saw a shadow shuffle through the rain
Oh, Sherlock Holmes?
Walked through my door the other day
Someone had dropped a line my way
Oh, Sherlock Holmes?
There's a mission up ahead
And it fills my mind with dread
Oh, Sherlock Holmes
I wish I could tell you who done it
But the man, I think he ran away
Do you think it could have been Sherlock Holmes?
Sherlock Holmes? Sherlock Holmes. Sherlock Holmes!

Hippopotamus
06:23
|

|
I've been living on a river of colors green and pink
The flowers, they still look good but the aroma, it kind of stinks
The annelids of Earth live in styrofoam containers
And the fish, they keep warm in hydro-electric insulators
Bio-electro-magnetic equilibrium
Genetic encoding of endoplasmic reticulum
I'm not cleaning it up because I'm not the president
To you it's detriment but from it, we all benefit
I'm gonna radiate my granola in fiberglass microwaves
And plug in an electric razor because my fatty dreads need shaved
Take a walk to the forest in plastic rubber sandals
With the sack in the pack on my back, I can save all the animals
The hippopotamus, it never sees me because surface tension makes it hard
Starting in the middle, means you didn't ever start
The maids are in the bathroom scrubbing porcelain with foam
I consider myself a vagabond, my mind is all I own

The Spaceship
07:01
|
|||
|
We were taught since our birth
That the meek inherit Earth
But the meek don't live to seek
Because the life they live is bleak
Holding on too high and tight
Asking God to live their life
Pointing fingers all around
Kneeling helpless on the ground
I'd rather be on the spaceship
When the life we know is dead
And the world begins to end
What becomes of the strong?
When the weak declare them wrong?
A giant spaceship will be built
The axis angle it will tilt
And the meek will make the choice
They won't attempt to make the voyage
I'd rather be on the spaceship

Cradle to Grave

Darwin was a genius and Einstein smoked
The gravity beneath us merely teaches us to float
Darwin was a genius and Einstein smoked
Pass the pipe to Jesus, see religion is a hoax
Far and few between us is a happy human home
The planet next to Venus only orbits on its own
Far and few between us is a happy human home
Ask the Earth to feed us and the seed begins to sow
"My matter I relinquish..." as Anaximander wrote
To stars, whose dust that breed us, cosmic cannibals in cloak
"Fines for your iniquities..." an Anaximander quote
Singing this is meaningless and reasoning is wrote
Charles dies a fetus, Uncle Albert start to choke
The ice age, next, will freeze us breaking bones that can't be broke
Charles dies a fetus, Uncle Albert coughs and chokes
The sphere of space expands, thus, then collapses and explodes

Sigmund Freud
05:48
|

|
Sigmund Freud wants to come analyze my dreams
Wants to know why and how and who and what it all means
Sigmund Freud, in my dream I saw a fearsome, fighting frog
He chased me through the realms of time and space and sang this sickening song
He said, Sigmund Freud, why do you speak?
We only see you as a freak
Freak Freud, Freud freak, freak Freud
Bleak void, void bleak, freak Freud
Greek frog, frog Greek, freak Freud
Freak Freud, Greek frog, bleak void
Sigmund Freud, packed his pipe and then he paralyzed my brain
The smoke it seemed to ease the pain of purpose driving me insane
Sigmund Freud, I can't escape this crooked, cataclysmic cave
My god is gone so I seek to save the soul he never gave
He said, Sigmund Freud, what do you seek?
We only see you as a freak
Freak Freud, Freud freak, freak Freud
Piqued droid, droid piqued, freak Freud
Seek god, god seek, freak Freud
Freak Freud, seek god, piqued droid
Sigmund Freud, your analysis of me is kind of scary
But I see your judgments as nothing but arbitrary
He said, Sigmund Freud, why do you speak?
He said, Sigmund Freud, what do you seek?
We only see you as a freak

Alaska
05:48
|

In 1997, I went to Alaska
Though I've never really been there in person
For eight days straight, I was hunted by a polar bear
And on the eighth day, there was a bloody disaster in Alaska

Roadside Kill
04:15
|
|||
|
Driving up I-79
Saw a hawk swoop down out of the sky
He ate a piece of roadside kill
He ate roadside kill, roadside kill, roadside kill
I saw the story cut and dry
That's what I'll be when I die
I'll be a piece of roadside kill
I'll be roadside kill, roadside kill, roadside kill
Driving back down 79
The hawk lay down his head and died
He became a piece of roadside kill
Became roadside kill, roadside kill, roadside kill
