Some of my favorite lyrics:

  • You heard me right / I said blow up / I said the force of 50 million suns / You're smart like me / We should hang out - I Haven't Been Right Yet
  • All the people are so happy now / Their heads are cavin' in / I'm glad they are a snowman with / Protective rubber skin - Nothing's Gonna Change My Clothes
  • Hip hip horrific are the words we sing / Hip hip horrific is our thing - Become A Robot
  • We were once so close to heaven / Peter came out and gave us medals / Declaring us the nicest of the damned - Road Movie To Berlin
  • Everything with eyes / Has some amount of eyes - Triops Has Three Eyes
  • My panacea's in a Xerox shop - Snowball In Hell
  • If you can draw it in the air / Or write it down, then you weren't there - Canajoharie
  • And if they're not nuts / Then they're retired nuts / And that might be the hardest nut - We Live In A Dump
  • SOMEBODY INVENTED A GUN THAT SHOOTS FLOWERS!!! (x6) - Santa Cruz
  • Grapes, glue............gyroscopes - Go For G!
  • Every jumbled pile of person has a thinking part / that wonders what the part that isn't thinking isn't thinking of - Where Your Eyes Don't Go
  • And like a chess piece, yes / I have rolled under your piano / That you don't play - In Fact
  • An old magician said / While swallowing strychnine / Too bad my greatest trick can only / Be performed one time - This Is Only Going To Go One Way
  • Zoom and enhance if that were even a / Real thing / Which it isn't - Unpronounceable
  • And if I should die before we freak / Know that I will always love you - I'm Having A Heart Attack
  • Did you just eat a napkin / To find out what would hapkin? / I thought I told you not to but you had to and you did - Oh You Did
  • Screeching tires but never a collision / Endless day without a sunset provision - Push Back The Hands
  • Something punched my mind in the face - To A Forest
  • Now add some gold and silver for some pizza place class - Meet The Elements
  • Blew out your pilot light / And made a wish - Twisting
  • hoo! - Why Does The Sun Really Shine?
