I Won Again

I won again today
Once again I kept the bugs at bay
I kicked their insect ass
Step by step I'm stomping down the grass
I won again they say
Everyone just watch the mantis pray
Your insect god is gone
Took his legs and left to creepeth on
I won again I think
Earlier I found one in my drink
I'll take the free protein
But now I feel like I've been kind of mean

Lizard of the Lounge

I've scaled it up just for you
Slithered outta my skin to look brand new
So just sit down there
In your puffy chair
And I'll tell a tall tale or two
About climbing trees and shuffling dirt
And how I got my lounge act just like Kurt
And Dave and Krist
And, well, you get the jist
You can just tune me out I won't be too hurt
Be gone, bygone era
And finish your duck a l'orange
We're panned hard left and hard to the right
You know that we'll be here every night
We'll entertain ya
If we gotta
But we've no great love allotted
Sir no sir you lizard of the lounge
The camera tilts down and changes subject
To me
Wearing a jacket like upholstery
I've got my finger guns unholstered
And this is a stick-up, miss
Oh, uh, or not
While I've got your attention, I'd like to make a case for myself
My man up there on his high horse and even higher sense of self importance failed to mention that I always have my duck and oranges locally sourced
I can't speak for the other ingredients
But I feel comfortable saying that I'm basically a hero
If that's the kind of dishonesty you're willing to sleep with
Then who am I to judge?
My blood's a little chilly
And I wanted to warm up before nightfall
Can you blame me for tryin?
We're just lizards after all
Be gone, bygone era
Go jump in the Puget Sound
We know it's a wig and not your hair
You're gonna have to do a little bit better than that you lizard of the lounge

Elegant Solution

There's ants in my house and they live in my room
They're in my keyboard and they eat all my food
I demanded their rent and they bit off my head
And they recorded this song just to play it off like
I'm not dead, for real
I'm alive and eating meals
I still do human stuff
Like singing songs and hating bugs
There's ants in my brain and I like it a lot
They're in my neurons and they make every thought
I will open my foods and put them onto the floor
My queen's satisfaction's all I want anymore
I'm not dead, for real
I'm alive and eating meals
I still do human stuff
Like singing songs and loving bugs
Life's so much easier
Just get the food and feed her
All I do is for the swarm
Just another human norm
It's an elegant solution
I'm not dead, for real
I'm alive and eating meals
I still do human stuff
Like singing songs and loving bugs
Life's so much easier
Just get the food and feed her
All I do is for the swarm
Just another human norm

I waited on
The kind of one that I'd become
And all along
They long for what has come and gone
Why ever say
Our promised land was yesterday
Cause it's erased
A better thing takes its place
This is the moment
I don't miss my smaller mind
All I have to do
Is dream bigger
And better
Better days
Take their place
The past can stay
Tomorrow can wait
Been waiting on
This kind of mindset all along
Two decades gone
I'm moving on to where I belong
This is the moment
I don't miss the dreams I had
All I have to do
Is dream bigger
And better
Moving up
Forging on
Thinking of
Cosmic thoughts
Layers of
Electrons
Slowly drawn
To my thoughts

Training in the Sewer
02:55

I am the son
Of someone somewhere
And I wanna be
Somebody someday
I live below
The streets of Rabanastre
Where we avoid
The daily disaster
Call me again I'm fighting vermin in the sewer
Guess I'll go if it's meaning something to her
But I'll be back just to kill these goddamn rats
My work can wait I'm always known for being late
Penelo's fine and I got other things on my mind
I'm gonna live
Aboard an airship
As soon as I can
Afford to steal one
I'm gonna run
Into the castle
To steal a jewel
That I can't keep
Call me again I gotta run out of the city
If I don't go then the guards are gonna get me
But we'll be fast cause I killed the goddamn rats
The world's to blame but I'd like to keep it safe
I know I can cause I'm a hell of a leading man

The following is a paid advertisement by Mute/Solo Records on behalf of James Gameboy
By now you've heard
Many of the sounds that I am capable of
Let me begin
My pitch to you
Which could be used to work to mutual benefit
So hear it is
I'll make the tunes
And you can give me money to use them
As you please
Or better yet
We'll set the rate and type and style and date
And I'll make it
It could be for a movie
Or a video game
All I ask in return is
Wealth and fame
I'm earning peanuts
In a factory
Sheckels on the dollar
To make garbage
When I should be composing things
Please just
Danny Elfman me
Danny Elfman me
I've got a bunch of stuff to show ya
Please send it off to your employer
Danny Elfman me
Pluck me from obscurity
I know I've got creative powers
And all I need is working hours
Danny Elfman me
This is my final plea
I'm just another white composer...
I am ready to operate
Got a desire to satiate
Help me help you toss a bone
Skeleton on the microphone
Experimental surgery
End result should make my offer sugary
Give me access to your brain
I've got a change I'd like to make
I know the lobe where you keep your list
I'll put my name at the top of it
Experimental surgery
End result should make my offer sugary
Experimental surgery
Net response should link good vibes to rib cage solos
Just a couple more snips
And a little rewiring
I've done it!
Igor, alert the townsfolk
There's rioting to do
If you perceive a change in attitude
That's normal science brewing inside you
A breakthrough
A breakthrough
So what are you thinking about
Is that your wallet popping out
Please make the check out to Victor
He handle the money, and I do all the work

The Last Beach on Earth

If I were
The last man on earth
Then you might
See what I'm worth
And we could
Go out on the surf
And spend all our days on the last beach on earth
If the oceans
Flood over someday
Then we'll climb
A mountain to stay
And we'll bring
Some sand to the peak
And move all the snow to make room for our beach
And we'll surf surf surf
On the last beach on earth
Beach on earth
Good will to men
