I don't believe you.
let me try again
Incredible.
you'd might as well just tell 'em Eat Your Teeth and Brush Your Vegetables
You are now rocking with a Pet Rock
on an arpegiator
on an archipelago
making snow angels in the centerfold
this could never hold
set some Better Goals
less measurable
it's Important to keep on onkeeping
but you can't let them get to expect it though, or the pressure blows
like the Cease and Desist letter for feigning a sponsorship with pepsico
To Whom It May Concern just Let It Go
not Frozen but that's especially cold
they told me it's less about the back-and-forth and more about the metronome
and I guess it's so but I'm skeptical
Ahuh
the thing about this that's so hard to swallow is all the parts that aren;t edible
but it's worth wargamesing the whole scenario as a matter of public record, no?
It's Unacceptable
telling folks that they should chill out
but does it look like it's been getting cold
getting cold
getting
cold
Just Chill Out
just just just
chill out
chill
Hurry.

Spinning Is Important

it's NONSENSE
it's nonsense
....
How Are You?
(chorus)
the planet runs around in circles
planet runs around in circles
planet runs around and so of course the room is spinning
The End Is Near
again this year
chk-a-chk-a send a beer?
Teach Them How To Dougie that or what is the incentive here
Dip Dip Dive on a slip-n-slide
I almost broke my wrist six (6) times
gotta improvise, simplify
Everything is Something other than it seems
somehow pay Everything attention please
karate kick the referee
it's Obvious Necessity
like coffee is especially
Hamburger w/ the extra #chz
cue You Got A Friend In Me
ok
kick the jukebox off a bridge
toss a quarter make a wish
take a bow crowd loud and I'm out
(chorus)
take the sadness
make it backflip
bear hugs to a cactus
plus another couple last Hits
I don't wanna die without practice
Everything is massive, except for Space
alright alright I get it wait
I'm sure the Earth's in retrograde
and the that's the reason sunrise kinda feels like it's some pepper spray
I hear that if you levitate
you can kinda separate
and it's true but you can be dejected if you hesitate or ever stop
for even like a second
so like
pull up in the Greyhound facedown on the seat
Bustown and/or Bust
honestly
Everything is gravy
except for Everything
it's hazy
and not worthy of dismissal but I'm doing that and waving
Sentimetalcore
press the pedal to the floor
you're gonna wreck checking the score
splat
I've always got an open door
mat
and a fairly open format
only barely know where you're at
it could turn out you're in deep Space
like as far as I know horseback
loud MEOW like I'm just really trying to warn cats
but I feel like I'm describing roses purely in terms of where everything thorn's at
Exhausting
and the frosting on it's phonics with the hooks embedded
the rest of it is pizza dough
at least
y'know
just look attentive
Joking
not provoking you or anything promotional
just take what sounded Cool last night this morning and you hope it's Cool like
Woah....
Cool.
(chorus)

One Song

(chorus)
I feel like I'm really only ever writing one song
but every time I stop and listen to it it's done wrong
so I try again
why do I pretend
because it's never right but it's what sets me right again
Mood Music to move humans
youtube it
and if it fuses to you then you do it
confused lucid with loose
that or it's The Truth
bounce off of pretty much Everything also maybe stick to you
the lines that I memorized were discontinued
hate to admit it
but it is an issue
that being said
if you give me a venue
I will do something you can get into
I intend to
Yup
it's been a second since my last insurrection
and I can't stop so I'll just circle you and yell out the window
for some directions
this isn't my first rodeo
but then again it is my second rodeo
no strings attached but still a puppet
fuck it I'm Pinocchio
like, okeydoke
I'll give you something you can Karaoke though
Yeah, go for broke
(chorus)
Sometimes I rhyme quick
and sometimes my mind's blown
there's Nothing dimming the Vision
I know
dig a hole and make it deeper
that's my dirigible through the Ether
it's a different metaphor
but I can slide with either
bend spoons with your mind
with your fingers
It should be obvious why I had to let it linger
creature of habit
spending my time like I'm a species of rabbit
and in between it I've been preaching the Bat shit
this is
Radio Megaphone
it's not engraved in stone
I taped it though
you tell me if it's hashtag #relatable
flash back to days of old
Ground Control To Major Tom
couldn't deal with it directly
so I had to make a song
(chorus)

Folks

none of it's Important
except your people
they're Important
they're your people
keep your head above the sinkhole
all the rest is a casino
keep chasing those Dreams though
even if they don't mean nothing
a bunch of blurry blundering
not worthy of discussion
y'all were early and I loved it
catching up & no one's running
time to sound check the percussion
none of it's Important
except your people
they're Important
they're your people
I wrote a song on Quantum Physics
show you all I'm not a dipshit
then I got addicted to abstraction as a barrier
and ran around barking about barking like a terrier
because one day we'll all become the people we swear we were
but you are to me
and not partially
and hey
It's really good to see ya
split a beat a blunt or like a pizza
said I'd get rid of my Ego
but forgot a button in the cheat codes
now I'm feeling like I'm Neo
that's the symptom of a loner
put your hands up if you feel me
put that arm around a shoulder
(chorus)
none of it's Improtant
except your people
they're your people
keep your head above the sinkhole
all the rest is a casino
it's a song about friendship, you know
it's it's it's Important
it's good for ya
