disaster cake show

The show is about making a cake wreck-
total disaster
apocalyptic
smash smash

bake that cake 
for goodness sake,
bake bake bake

bleed if you must
into the crust
bleed if your cut that hand
bleed if you cant understand

The judge wears big glasses
the better to see your disaster with
The French chef is french
the better to punk your ass with
The judge is looking for a boyfriend
the better to be better in this or any weahter.

Show me your wreck
show me your apocolypse
Show me your smash smash

Show me

Jakarta

The news says Jakarta is sinking,
its in Indonesia.

There were a couple of pictures,
of some cranes, digging

and a picture of a couple of kids
around some thing collapesed

My heart wants to save them.
I am helpless to save them
I am helpless to save me
I am too poor to save them
I am too poor to save myself.

I can only love them

Forgive me Jakarta,
my love can not save me either.

The Great Fire of 17

The winds came and with it
gave life to the Fire of 17

Tragic
it took
and took

Schools closed down
Work closed down

The mountains
stood their ground
the wind pushed

at first one
then two
then three
fires doing what fire does

there were fires the size of New York
there were fires more important than other fires

But celebrities began to lose
as the poor began to lose....

When the rich lose
like the poor lose
is it tragic or just?

let them mourn together
let them weep together
let them be equal finally
not only in the eyes
of the fire
of the lord
but each other

All the way

I can see all the way from here.

I can see myself there, 
from here.

Lets go I say,
but you got things to do.

Lets go I say 
but nobodys around

Lets go 
 I say to myself...

I can see all the way from ..
 it will still be there tomorrow.

Yes it will be there....tomorrow.
It always be there tomorrow.
but its go time!

Because  lord oh lord
I may not a be here tomorrow.

Punk Rock like

Punk rock like iggy pop
punk punk

a punk rocker
like broken glass
like a beatin from a bat
like the smell of the alleyway

punk punk
like iggy pop

some girl kept saying iggy pop wasn't punk
used words like proto this or that

saying this or
that while

the music the music
raged and howeled
broken like an arm or
a home

the blood still flowed
from  the kind of
cuts and wounds
you can't see

and the scars remained
just the same
punk rock like
like on the body of iggy pop

huey lewis and the

on tv they all look like they are gonna make it.
so I keep changing channels until
it looks like they aren't gonna make it.

But after awhile,
channel after channel
it looks like they are gonna make it
no matter how miserable
no matter the odds.

I almost give up,
but then....

I find it the one show
where there is no hope,
where the end is inevitable
where everyone on the show is doomed.

It is
Conservative, Liberal,
local, national, gobal,

It is 24 hours
It is the news

The news is always the same,
we are doomed.

and watch
and make sure when the end does come,
whether it will sunny, partly cloudy or 20% chance of rain.
you know in case you'll need an unbrella.

What you wanna say?

Look, I don't have anything to say to you,
So just watch...
And see what I do next..

aquaman

feeling like the aqua man of lovers.
under the sea with ariel and jaws

under the sea with snorks and Dory

Under the sea with sunken ships and treasure.

King of the ocean,
King of the vast endless reaches of the ocean.

King over all that lives undersea.

Except your on land,
Except I can't breath air
Except you aint impressed with something you can't see.

So I'm feeling like aqua man
Drowing his sorrows.

Yes,
a man drowning his sorrows
 if only he could drown.

whaaaaaaaaaaa

what i gotta do?
huh?

what i gotta do?
wha?

Is this like the last time,
and the time before that and the time before that.

I know all the words to this song by heart,
and it always ends terribly.

sung terribly.
sung the worst.
sung with all the heart i got left.
sung at night to the moon,
while you out with some other guy.

who don't sing about you
who don't sing about love
who don't sing about pain.

He,
he,
Naw, he don't sing.
He aint never sung.

He don't sing about you eva.

Bummer man

Unstable and Crazy-
(I'd act out) but I'm just too lazy, to start over you.
I still got some laundry and dishes to do.

Thought about moving to someplace with snow.
But there is no point if you don't know.
And we haven't spoken in awhile, Havent spoken
about not speaking because theres nothing to say,
and no ones in denial.

Unstable and Crazy but still just wanna sleep.
Cuase whatever i'm in, I'm in kinda deep.

I'll leave alone cause its the right thing to do,
but if you come calling well then I'll turn the right shade of blue.

quady

let me tell you about the quadrilateral,
its just a fancy smancy way of
saying four sides.

There are two sides to every story, but four is pushing it.

I don't even mean like a square
the perfect little square
all over achieving and shit.

no the quadrilateral sounds like a french word,
and you don't want the french all up in your shapes and shit.

Let me tell you about the quadrilateral,
its just a stuck up shape,
thinking its better than everybody,
yeah rhombus
the quadrilateral thinks its better than you.


Shammm shammm

let loose the goose let looooose the gooooose.

Tell them all that the penguin can not fly that the ostrich will not soar.

Tell them because they dont' know.

They think they know the ostrich they they know the penguin.

But if this about the truth,
then,
well,
then,

But what do the really know they don't even know themselves.

aqua aqua aqua

what do we like said the aqu aqau

they say we are quirky so what it is that is quirky for quirkys sake.
not for my sake not for your sake.

Oh they say many things about how your tied to the stars by strings.
and the the way you will love fail or love or fail or love

is tied to the strings of the stars.

I don't want to know then,
I don't want to know if the stars know if ya love me or hate me.

I want to blame it on something else
I don't want to see it coming
I don't want to wanna know

aqua aqua can love the crab the scale the lion the fish the Ronnettes and the queen of england
aqua aqua can love anyone.

Huh heh

Rumours so many sos many so many

Many Many Many Many...

do bo da ba

do boooo daaaa baaa
it is hard to begin to write

it is easy to write
it is not what you say
its how you say it.


go go go go go

there isn't much time to squeeze every word in
don't go don't go don't go.

Wiggle room

Squared root

Crawl space

Crave out a space in your heart.

hody ho

"what was i thinking when I let go of you"- wilco Don't tell people about love. Don't tell them about the nights- you know the ones with the special kind of darkness Don't breath a word about that darkness, the kind that hasn't been felt before Speak not of the rage that comes as the small bird sings Ho do hody ho Don't "say" shit. Let them "feel" the love Let them feel everything Let them keep feeling the things that can not be described begining with your kindnesss
