Emotional Cowboy

Let me tell you a story about a cowboy with a heart
tried being mean but he just didn't fit the part

he tried looking though smoking cigarettes and killing cows
he tried over emphasizing and womanizing but it wasn't his somehow
his friends all wanted him to come out and play
they were roping things and spitting when he saw his father's grave
and he started to wonder about death and thought "would he survive"
then he suddenly knew the secret and he felt more alive

he's just an emotional cowboy
with questions on his mind
an existential hombre
and he can't help wonder why why why

his friends are still out roping everything from deers to baboons
but this poor kid stays home watching tom and jerry cartoons
then later in the 80's it got to be too much to take
and the cowboy drove his horse off a cliff and into a lake
they never found him they just left him there
this ends the story of the cowboy who cared
so next time you go to see a western movie matinee
think of cowpokes as poets and you'll know why i say
that the cowboy may be gone and his voice is laid to rest
but don't be surprised if his name turns up on a philosophy test

because....


Jughead

Just play guitar instead
Difficulties kiss my head
Jughead had evil thoughts about Veronica
Inspired him to play the harmonica

?? history leaders and kings
thought about girls like Veronica
and they all took out the harmonica

Marriage

(Look around this word,
looking for that girl,
now that I have found her, I don't know why.)

Don't wanna to hear no victory speeches
Don't need a lament that's sad
Been told about all the human leeches
Positively don't need a wife that bad

Calling on the phone across this nation
Just to say hello to you
Please don't send out another invitation
I'm out of time, besides, I'm already through

Once I Leave, I can't say why I did
So many thoughts fill up my mind
Once you left and it was me instead
Couldn't figure out how to spend my time

Spent the whole night dreaming I was a lover
Everyone I touched, I pleased
Today while leaving thinking it's not over
There's still time to fight this disease.

When I Was Little

I spoke the words of wisdom
with a cool aid mustache

Nothing better to do
let's ride bikes
Nothing better to do
let's ride bikes

maybe have a game of chase
where we run and we ain't getting no place

I learned the secrets of life when I was little
my best friends lived few doors down
my best friend lived down the street
he had all the junk food
My mom was into healty food
I learned the secrets of life when I was little

We wore red kits and green toughskins
We wore green toughskins and red kits
We didn't have to try them on
Just as long as they were green and little too long
I learned the secrets of life when I was little

I had a crush on girl in second grade
Girl had a crush on me in second grade
I went to her house in the rain
I was Superman she was Louis Lane

we learned the secrets of life when we were little

I learned the secrets of life when I was little
I learned the secrets of life when I was little
I learned the secrets of life when I was little
I learned the secrets of life when I was little


Tiki God

I had a girl and she did me wrong
I didn't let that kinda shit go on too long
Split the clouds and divided the sea
Showed that evil bitch how nasty the tiki god could be
She didn't call no more nor bother me
My little tiki god made sure I'd live in peace
One day I read they found a body in the river
Tiki God, Whoa, you make me shake, you make me shiver, all right
I got a Tiki God... saves me... I got a Tiki God

Bobby Brady found the idol in the rubble
Had no idea it would cause so much trouble
When Greg tried to throw it back in the ocean
There was a rumble, an awful commotion
Don't ask me how, but the tiki found Bobby
He thought the idol was some Hawaiian hobby
Turned out the god was mean and vicious
Didn't respond to Bobby's three wishes, no no
He had a Tiki God... saves him... He had a Tiki God

So when you're caught up in an evil plot
Your life's in danger and you can hear the shots
Your head is spinning and your fading fast
How long do you think this kinda fun can last
Your luck will change with a simple motion
I found my idol in a bottle on the ocean
He splits the clouds and divides the sea
And shows those evil guys how nasty those tiki gods can be, all right
You had a Tiki God... saved you... You had a Tiki God

Slip Away

One Two Three Four

I had a girl
 Had is the word
I tried to hold on
But it was pretty absurd

She said she loved me
And I said I loved her too
But we weren't havin' any fun
So what could I do?

I let her slip away-yay-yay
Away-yay-yay
I let her slip away-yay-yay
Away-yay-yay

Well then...

I had a car
The color was blue
It kept breakin' down
So what could I do

I put an ad in the paper
I called it a steal
This cat came to see it
And we struck a deal

I let it slip away-yay-yay
Away-yay-yay
I let it slip away-yay-yay
Away-yay-yay


I had a thought
 I thought it a lot
I thought I was smart
But now I know that i'm not

I let it slip away-yay-yay
Away-yay-yay
I let it slip away-yay-yay
Away-yay-yay

I let it slip away-yay-yay
Away-yay-yay
I let it slip away-yay-yay
Away-yay-yay

Pop Cultrure

I'm on a cliff looking out on pop culture
I'm on a cliff looking down on pop culture

And I see you, I see you, I see you
And you look silly

I'm in a pit looking up at my elders
I'm in a pit looking up at my elders

And I've see them, I've see them, I've see them
And they've look badly

"Solo time!"

I'm in the air looking down on my lifestyle
I'm in the air looking down on my lifestyle
And I see me, I see me, I see me

and I'm done




Basketball Dream

Had a dream
Magic Johnson was there
He autographed the ball
A small rubber ball
Ten feet tall
Big puffy shoes
Are the cameras on?
Are the cameras on?
Set the ball down
Went to the court
Shot a swish
Fell like a ball
Went back to the spot
And Magic was gone
Same old ball
Time to go home
