1,000 Emos
01:56

i feel a thousand emotions
and each one overwhelming
fear, joy, confusion and sorrow
i could shed a tear for
every time i try to cry and nothing escapes my lips but
a dry heave and a whimper
save each salty teardrop for
deliverance to thirsty plants
the flora just wanna dance
it's vegetables' romance
consider life as a turtle
swimming in the ocean
on PBS it looks pretty peaceful
but i bet that one hundred
years of turtle life contains the highest highs and lowest lows
beyond my imagination
stuck inside this human shell
and confined to my use of words
i'll save 'em for the birds
who repeat all they've heard

Gone Fishing
02:45
|

it's just a place to make my own
i guess you could call it a home
there's no one else here in my zone
i'm alone
i close my eyes, now i can see
the ocean glow majestically
i'm not that far out, only
lost at sea
gone fishing
this love seat has two seat cushions
one for me, one for a friend
presumably, but who wants an invitation
sing along, bad power pop
dance alone until i drop
close my eyes and drift away
out to sea
gone fishing

Joke for One
02:49
|

"did you notice how i cut my hair today?"
dad said beneath his balding wig
and on his face, a goofy grin
joke for one, just as much fun
i was watching in the diner as they sat
an obscure reference falling flat
Jerry's jokes still make me laugh
joke for one, just as much fun
speaking about my favorite show
I reenact the episode
look up, but no one seems to know
joke for one, just as much fun
easy buzz of the bookstore busted by
"Jews Without Money" on a spine
split my sides, but no one's got the time
joke for one, just as much fun

In Defense of Typos
03:25
|
|||
i meant to place a period
but from my fingertips replied
a comma, so calm and a
quick thought inspired me to sing
i might have placed parentheses
but i mean everything i write
and no statement, however trim
deserves to stand in dimmer light
in defense of typos
i almost put quotation marks
in a strange voice made my remark
the words not mine, now i decide
to speak the way i hear my heart
in defense of typos

Eat Some Food
01:57

i wanna eat some food
another summer morning caught me sleeping in
my eyes now wide awake, the feeling rushes in
time to eat, exactly what it's hard to say
still surprises me that i get hungry every day for food
i wanna eat some food
michael always puts the slices in the fridge
the spoils of working at World Pizza's late night shift
and from the coffee shops, the cookies chocolate chunk
oh, to make a balanced meal, or give it up and eat junk food
i wanna eat some food

feeling socially aware
close my eyes, ignore what's there
words and dreams and memories
prance around in high school jeans
ready to rip at the seams
words and memories and dreams
like a child, still i burn
even though next year i turn
thirty years, this game's a joke
line up all my glasses frames
face shapes and prescriptions change
still my bifocals remain

Caveman
02:21
|
|||
i'm a caveman
quit my job to clean my room, soon
i'll be starting at the moon
if i ever leave this love seat
if i find something to eat
i'm a caveman
this fear of heights means i dig deep
when i finally get to sleep
strong convictions that i keep
like hidden cards far up my sleeve
i'm a caveman

Red Light
03:07
|
|||
i learned not to throw
anymore birthday parties for myself
racing towards a red light
don't they always go
oh so wrong, though you planned it all yourself
racing towards a red light
in the right bike lane
four wheel drives zipping by like they're running late
racing towards a red light
now behind the wheel
foot on the gas, nobody ever thought you'd pass
racing towards a red light
