Track Lyrics

Wished I Was a Giant Lyrics

[Verse 1]
"Wished I Was a Giant" said, "Man get off the street!"
Spoken like a traffic cop, cronies at his feet
He turned on his radio and picked up the noise
Age rules with reason and who's to disagree?
Not Mr. Spit with his abrupt delivery, yeah
And Mr. Intelligent is just a wannabe like me
[Break]
Yeah!
[Verse 2]
And who makes the breakfast and who gasses the truck?
The same little bee that stung the bull and caused the bull to buck
Only a matter of time before we have to pay
If you were ten years younger and I was a sunbeam
"Wished I Was a Giant" said, "Man, it's just a dream"
Only a matter of time before we have to pay, we have to pay
[Break]
Woo, woo
Oh, oh
Woo, woo, woo

Expecting Brainchild Lyrics

[Intro]
"Bob, would you and Living Praise Choir lead us in "To God Be the Glory'?"
[Verse 1]
It isn't quite ready, it's almost 5:30
Scholars and flunkies, faggots and junkies
Incinerator in a blood red sky
Kill the head and the body will die
I can't tell you that I'm happy
But I can tell you that my clothes are snappy
[Chorus]
It's time, time, time, time, time
Time, time, time, to draw the line
It's time, time, time, time, time
Time, time, time, to draw the line
[Verse 2]
Superman died tonight, ate a pound of Kryptonite
Drank a quart of brotherly love, fell straight from the sky above
And if there's a hell below
Kenneth Ray ain't gonna go
He lost his soul in the Korean War
I lost my concentration when I opened the door
[Chorus]
And it's time, time, time, time, time
Time, time, time, to draw the line
It's time, time, time, time, time
Time, time, time, to draw the line
Time, time, time, time, time
Time, time, time, to draw the line
It's time, time, time, time, time
Time, time, time, to draw the line

Superior Sector Janitor X Lyrics

[Verse]
In this bitter world
Known only as a number
It was given
Blessed in its task
I transform into Superior Sector Janitor X
My coats are blue
And my visions are white, aren't they?

Dusted Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Comes the sign of wasted times, I will wait no more
Ever trudging through the aimless forests we explore
In our boots and money chains, mis-fitting cloaks we can't contain
Hidden hates of urgency declaring our emergency
[Chorus 1]
And up the tallest window world
The distance was not clear
Unoccupied by brutish thoughts
We had no cause to fear
A lesson so severe
[Verse 2]
Hotter than the fire we built, darker than the truth
Ignorance reflected in the windows of our youth
Push me now beyond the bounds of healing hands and thorny crowns
And all the sadness it implies, I've tasted with my own two eyes
[Chorus 2]
And as the cattle rack was cleared
The floor was brightly stained
And larger though we grew in size
Not a thing was gained
For fate has so ordained

Sot Lyrics

[Verse]
I walked into a place
A living space of total grace
And time without, 'cause I'm tripped out, is through
[Chorus]
And there's nothing I'd rather do
Than be here right now
There's nothing I'd rather do
[Verse]
I stepped into a place
A living space of total grace
And time without, 'cause I'm tripped out, is through
[Chorus]
And there's nothing I'd rather do
Than be here right now
There's nothing I'd rather do
[Chorus]
There's nothing I'd rather do
Than be here right now
There's nothing I'd rather do

Jar of Cardinals Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Droves of growers rolling by
In the trees and way below
Simple factors foiling time
Never did we seem to know
[Verse 2]
She was high and I was low
Sitting in our bungalow
Eating something wonderful
Never ever getting full
[Verse 3]
Nests of crows are hoarding coins
In the competition zone
Hush now seedling, don't you cry
Maybe I'll be coming home
[Chorus]
Quite soon for you
Quite sinful you
Quite soon for you
Quite sinful you
[Outro]
Quite soon for you (Hush now seedling, don't you cry)
Quite sinful you (Maybe I'll be coming home)
Quite soon for you (Hush now seedling, don't you cry)
Quite sinful you (Maybe I'll be coming home)

Unstable Journey Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The poised tongues on Easy Street
Are shifting and delivering
The insidious snakes, the hackers, and the meat
Are counting out the face of things
[Verse 2]
I know when you bring back sweet Dougie's car
You don't tell him where it has been
He's funny and cool, and so is your poise
Conditional love wins out again
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm feeling good and I don't know if that's alright
Deep in the rot, I can't distinguish day from night
[Chorus]
But all of it will transpire, transactions made through the wire
Kiss me while I still speak, hold me as I'm too weak
Enjoy it, delusions, it's pushing closer to the rush
Opening and closing, you recognize me, feel the hush

E-5 Lyrics

[Verse]
Perfect birds sit on plastic bush
In my cubicle, I've been knowing
This for some reason, now
And any day, and any day
I expect the delivery truck
To bring me mine
The order is late but still I wait
For the starfire demon or leave it to fate

Gleemer (The Deeds of Fertile Jim) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm sitting on two heads
"Some seat," I heard some said
Just waiting for Sunday
Four days after Wednesday
[Refrain]
The higher clouds are closing in
To hide the deeds of Fertile Jim
[Chorus]
Could this be a brand new low?
One that we can't talk about
One that we can't live without
One that we could join in now?
[Verse 2]
Standing on two feet
Now buried in concrete
Just waiting for sundown
So as to be not found
[Refrain]
The higher clouds are closing in
To hide the deeds of Fertile Jim
[Chorus]
Could this be a brand new low?
One that we can't talk about
One that we can't live without
One that we could join in now?

Perhaps Now the Vultures Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Shot down from the rafters
And off to ever after
Consider this a failure
So be it, urchin's promise
[Verse 2]
The curse is working
The trail of bodies
That leaves no suspects
What did you expect?
[Bridge]
And get it, get it here, get it now
[Verse 3]
The news is not worthy
Don't even look
Don't be cornered into thinking
Invited to the lynching
[Verse 4]
Specify instructions
I'll shoot the arrow straight up
I'll frame your ugly mugshot
Add insult to buckshot
[Outro]
And then I'll drink with glycerol frog-eye
Yeah, she can tell you every detail
