Hypetrain

I just heard the news
About what you said you'd do
And I'm so excited
I'm so excited
I've been waiting now for years
And so have all my peers
And I'm so excited
And I just can't hide it
Chugachugachugacugachuga and boom
It's finally here, for me and you
Book your seat and step inside
you're buckled in enjoy the ride
The hypetrain is coming to the station
Its running on your hopes and your elation
The hypetrain is coming to the station
Well I can hardly wait, I don't have no patience
Well it'll heal the blind
And change the color of the sky
And I'm so excited
Just so excited
It'll end all global war
Feed the hungry and the poor
I just can't wait for it
You know I adore it
Chugachugachugacugachuga Kaboom
It's finally here, for me and you
Something doesn't seem quite right
Your tickets punched enjoy your ride
The hypetrain is coming to the station
Its running on your hopes and your elation
The hypetrain is coming to the station
Well I can hardly wait, don't have no patience
It's been 10'000 years
I've waited for it
now it's here
And I can't seem to feel but disappointed
10,000 years it seems
But only in my dreams
Was it really worth the praise that I've anointed?
I know Time flies when you're having fun
But honestly
It's been a slog
I wish that I could take back my excitement
You took off from the earth
But you landed in the dirt
I wish that you delivered what you promised
The hypetrain is crashing through the buffers
The passengers are on their way to suffer
The hypetrain is crashing through its buffers
She was strong the station wall was tougher

Plastic Action Man

Paint your wall the flavor of the month
Whatever you can give is not enough
These people need your help, oh can't you see
But when it's time to pay don't look at me
There's people starving in the streets
If you don't pay you disagree
I think I'll change the world for free
Well I'm just spreading awareness
Can't you see
Plastic actions fine for me
I give my words support the cause
Won't get a penny from my claws
I will protest the evils of the world
Until it's time for me to do any work
Their putting poison in the streams
Just think how great the world could be
If you'd just give a little green
Well I could be the world's new savior
can't you see
Plastic action works for me
I've tasted plenty of the fine things in life
It'd break my heart if encountered some strife
I'll be the savior
you'll be my sheep
Why work to change things when talk is so cheap
There's people starving in the streets
If you don't pay you disagree
I think I'll change the world for free
Well I'm just spreading awareness
Can't you see
Plastic actions fine for me

Nothing Ever Happens
03:24
|

|
Aimless I roam
The streets near my home
With nothing around for a mile
Suddenly rain
Starts hitting my head
I guess I'll just stop for a while
I spy in the weeds
Rectangular green
A 100 dollar bill in the grass
I pick it up
But it's just my luck
"For motion picture use" on the back
I should have known
The way these things go
Nothing ever happens
And that's all she wrote
I should have seen
The way things have been
Nothing ever happens
at least not to me
A girl that I like
Just texted me "hi"
After I saw her at lunch
She's pretty as hell
And single as well
And she thinks that we should keep touch
We get to talking
It’s pretty nerve wracking
But she seems to excuse all my shyness
Then out of the blue
With nary a clue
All I get back now is silence
I should have known
The way these things go
Nothing ever happens
And that's all she wrote
My friend sent a text
I guess she's back with her ex
Nothing ever happens
But I wish you the best
I should have known
The way these things go
Nothing ever happens
And that's all she wrote
That's how it goes
You end up lonely and Broke
Nothing ever happens
And that's all she wrote

Samson In Reverse
03:45
|

|
Your shoulders are cold
And I can see that from here
Your neck is exposed
And so are your ears
It's not everyday you see a girl like that
Boy or a girl
Hard to tell from the behind
That's perfect for me
Because that's what I like
And when you turn around there's no way I'd rather you be
Dresses are boring
And long hair is such a cliché
Your Androgyny Is effecting me
In such a serious way
Got a new haircut
And your looking so cute that It hurts
I feel like I'm Samson in reverse
I would slay 1000 men
If you would only hold my hand
But you're so far above my head I couldn't reach
What's so great about a pixie cut
I wish I knew why I had this crush
On girls who's hair don't fall beneath their chin
Dresses are boring
And long hair is such a cliché
Your Androgyny is effecting me
In such a serious way
Got a new haircut
And your looking so cute that It hurts
I feel like I'm Samson in reverse
Dresses are boring
And long hair is such a cliché
Your Androgyny's effecting me
In such a serious way
Got a new haircut
And your looking so cute that It hurts
I feel like I'm Samson in reverse
Oh I feel like I'm Samson in reverse

Personality

In the summer
It gets hotter
It makes you change the way you dress
The sun’s oppressive
Rays upon you
Leaving you a sweaty mess
But when the rain comes
Crashing down
You'd better change up your fit
It soaked a girl in a plain white t shirt
And I think I saw her…
Personality
Shining through
The sky's gone gray
But she's not blue
Personality
What a sport
While caught in the rain
In a white t shirt
I was walking
Around the city
I saw a wallet someone dropped
When a girl in skintight
spandex leggings
Bent down to pick it up
She ran forward
To the man who'd dropped it
As I fell down in the grass
I had walked
Right Into a pole
Cuz I was staring at her…
Personality
Shining through
What a good Samaritans
Supposed to do
Personality
Right in my face
It's sights like that
That make my day

Mom TV
03:03

Mid afternoon
And there's nothing much to do
So you sit down on your couch
The remote control is out
Doctor shows and mysteries
Questionable histories
Well shut the blinds cuz I need me
Some Learning Channel TLC
Grab the popcorn
Grab a mug
Your show is on
It's just begun
Everything's just fine to me
As long as I've got mom Tv
Grab a blanket
Glass of wine
And take a seat
The couch is fine
Everything's just fine to me
As long as I've got Mom tv
Planted on the couch
With some junk food in my mouth
The remote is in my hand
As the witness takes the stand
(Order in the court)
Idiot gets screwed in court
Laughing as the gavel falls
See what else is on the air
It may be fake but I don't care
Olympian at channel surfing
A newer low
I'm always learning
Just how strange
A person's life can be
Nothing new
A rerun airing
Commercial break
My patience wearing
Maybe I'll just get off of the couch
(Oh hey, my shows on)
Grab the popcorn
Grab a mug
Your show is on
It's just begun
Everything's just fine to me
As long as I've got Mom Tv
Grab a blanket
Glass of wine
And Take a seat
The couch is fine
I'm doing well oh can't you see
As long as I've got Mom Tv

This Well Is Dry
02:19
|
|||
|
It just comes naturally
Is what they say to me
It's gone forever
But I once had that ability
But is it gone for good
Or can I get it back
Crumpled paper
All of my ideas in the trash
So change the method used
You'll change the outcome too
It's still not easy when you're
Trying to make something new
So bring the basics back
Get back on the track
uninspired overdone
And totally rehashed
Still there must be some way to
Get back to the things that I once knew
Well I tried
This well is dry
Can I get back in the zone
When creation was easy
Now I sit on the sofa
And I stare at the TV
I swear that this was easier before
Still there must be some way to
Get back to the ways that I once knew
Well I tried
This well is dry
Can I get back in the zone
when my output was weekly
Though I once had the skills
Now it seems they escape me
I swear that this was easier before

Library Of Alexandria

You thought you’d know well
And now you've gone and crashed and burned
Whatever happened to all those lessons
That you'd learned
Your good ideas now have been put to the test
Tell me do you still think its you you know it all best
It's a guess
Ooooo
You're up the river
And can't take your own advice
Skate around the issue
And you end up on thin ice
Your just a hypocrite
repeating what you heard
You lack experience
And make it up with words
Now you burn
Ooooo
Come one come all
And let us celebrate this loss
We'll send our cheers out
With the embers up above
You're all invited
To attend the burning of
The library of Alexandria
You're first to butt in when somebody
Asks for help
Just take your answers and apply them to yourself
It should be easy after all you talked big game
Go tell a mirror all the changes that you'd make
It's a shame
Boohoo
Your introspection
Is like looking through a wall
Got no ideas you
Amnesic know it all
It sure looks different
When you're down here in the dirt
The fall from the mountain top has really got to hurt
Now you burn
You burn
Come one come all
And let us celebrate this loss
We'll send our cheers out
With the embers up above
You're all invited
To attend the burning of
The library of Alexandria
Nothing of value here
Was really even lost
Oh The library of Alexandria
Oh The library of Alexandria

Girl On The Pier
03:21

I have to tell you a story
About the girl I met on the pier
Oh, we locked up our eyes and she told me hi
And she asked what I was doing here
I had to take care of business
Away on a company trip
Though It wasn't that far, I had driven by car
Oh, how business and pleasure can mix
After a week I had gone home
A number was fresh in my phone
Bout’ an hour away lived a friend I’d made
But the distance made us feel alone
I worked in bustling office
She worked in the medical field
Oh, We'd meet for drinks, and we'd shoot the shit
Till the moon had been fully revealed
I think this might be the last day
O ho
Of a long and lonely life
And I’m ready to continue
My dear
With you always by my side
She moved in in October
Just a week short of Halloween
After a nearly a year of dates at the pier
She was sleeping in the same bed as me
Then one day it had happened
I fell down on one knee
Oh Please be my bride, I'd like to make you my wife
Oh honey won't you please Marry me
I have to tell you a story
About the girl that I saw on a pier
Though she passed me right by
And paid me no mind
I've been thinking about her for years

Unicorns And Rainbows
06:13

You're enamored by legend
Haven’t heard from in years
Your priorities shifting
And a new goal appears
You’ve been trying to chase it
I see the look in your eyes
But I've got something to tell you
I've got a tragic surprise
What you want never existed
There's nothing for you chase
It's unicorns that you're trapping
Coming home with an empty cage
You found the end of the rainbow
And you're looking for the pot
Why don't you take it from me friend
Sometimes it's good to give up
It’s 4 o'clock in the morning
And head out to the lake
You take your rod and a camera
Your wasted time is at stake
You've been trying to bait it
But it just won't take the worm
No matter how long you sit there
You just can't come to terms
What you want never existed
There's nothing for you chase
Cuz’ it's the Loch Ness you're catching
Coming home with extra bait
You found the end of the rainbow
And you're looking for the pot
Why don't you take it from me friend
Sometimes it's good to give up
What you want never existed
There's nothing for you chase
It's unicorns that you're trapping
Coming home with an empty cage
You’ve reached the end of the rainbow
And you're looking for the pot
Why don't you take it from me friend
Sometimes it's good to give up
I talked to those that knew you better
Though most seemed content to just forget you
Just evolving over years
You never really disappeared
Well I knew your name
And I knew your address
But none of this would really matter
Nothing here has been erased
I was waiting for the past to change
Well I can access pics
And access video
I’m still not there
I just don't get it though
When two and two just don't add up
Your towels in your out of luck
But somethings wrong
It doesn't click
Your tracks are here
Or I'm losing it
The evidence has been dismissed
Oh, I made you up
You don't exist
