On the day the duck was born
The fox was watching all along
He said,
Land Ho!
(when he saw the duck)
Land Ho!
(and the duck saw him too)

'Shiny Pretty Fox' thought the duck

The duck came up onto the land
The fox just watching and he just laughed

I could show you some shiny tricks, he said
Come along we'll get our kicks, he said
Land Ho!
(for shiny tricks)
Land Ho!
(for me)

Oh Fox! Is this love?
Can you tell me? What is love?

That good looking fox only knew one trick
He could break hearts just lickety-split
The duck knew this game she had to quit
And her own pond she was headed to quick

I'll go
I'll go
and there's no looking back

Goodbye little fox

Kenny and Linda on the way to Chelan
Transmission's shot, no back up plan
Will they hitch a ride?
Or get into a fight?

Moved to the West Coast
Packed up their things
The winters are gray
Now so are the dreams
They tried, to make it all right

All our little wishes have gone dry
Made it to the water, waded in the lies
When we felt the heat
Couldn't turn it into fire
Too caught up in our own desires

Said I do in the month of May
Said I don't the very next day
Will they try again?
Or is it doom for them?

Moved to a city
Where hippies run wild
Everything's white
Now so are the smiles
They tried, to fight the good fight

All our little wishes have gone dry
Made it to the water, waded in the lies
When we felt the heat
Couldn't turn it into fire
Too caught up in our own desires

We're spilt right in half
It's making me crazy
A two-headed brat
Tied to the other for life

A family feud
The red and the blue now
It's truth against truth
I'll see you in hell, I don't mind

All our little wishes have gone dry
Made it to the water, waded in the lies
When we felt the heat
Couldn't turn it into fire
Too caught up in our own desires

I spend the afternoon in cars
I sit in traffic jams for hours
Don't push me
I am not ok

The sky is blue most every day
The lemons grow like tumors
They are tiny suns
Infused with sour

Lonely as a cloud
In the Golden State
The coldest winter I ever saw
Was the summer that I spent

The only substance is the fog
And it hides all that has gone wrong
Can't see a thing
Inside the maze

There is a bridge adored and famed
The Golden spine of engineering
Whose back is heavy
With my weight

Lonely as a cloud
In the Golden State
The coldest winter I ever saw
Was the summer that I spent

Be still this old heart
Be still this old skin
Drink you last drink
Sin your last sin
Sing your last song
About the beginning
Sing your song loud
So the people can hear

Be still this sad day
Be still this sad year
Hope your last hope
Fear your last fear
You're not the only one
You're not the only one
You're not the only one
You're not the only one
Let's go!

My falling shape will draw a line
Between the blue of sea and sky
I'm not a bird
I'm not a plane

I took a taxi to the Gate
I will not go to school again
Four seconds was
The longest wait

Four seconds was
The longest wait
Four seconds was
The longest wait
Four seconds was
The longest wait

My baby loves me
I'm so happy
Happy makes me a modern girl
Took my money
And bought a TV
TV brings me
Closer to the world

My whole life
Was like a picture
Of a sunny day
My whole life
Was like a picture
Of a sunny day

My baby loves me
I'm so hungry
Hunger makes me
A modern girl
Took my money
And bought a donut
The hole's the size of
This entire world

My whole life
Looked like a picture
Of a sunny day
My whole life
Looked like a picture
Of a sunny day

My baby loves me
I'm so angry
Anger makes me a modern girl
Took my money
I couldn't buy nothin'
I'm sick of this
Brave new world

My whole life
Is like a picture
Of a sunny day
My whole life
Is like a picture
Of a sunny day
My whole life
Is like a picture
Of a sunny day
My whole life
Is like a picture
Of a sunny day

So you want to be entertained?
Please look away, don't look away
We're not here 'cause we want to entertain
Go away, don't go away
Reality is the new fiction they saw
Truth is truer these days, truth is man-made
If you're here 'cause you want to be entertained
Please go away
Please go away

If your art is done, Johnny get your gun
Join the rank and file, on your TV dial

You come around looking 1984
You're such a bore, 1984
Nostalgia, you're using it like a whore
It's better than before
You come around sounding 1972
You did nothing new with 1972
Where's the smile you?
Where's the black and blue
Where's the black and blue
Where's the black and blue

If your art is done, Johnny get your gun
Join the rank and file, on your TV dial

Hey! Look around they are lying to you
Can't you see it's just a silly ruse?
They are lying, and I am lying too
All you want is entertainment
Rip me open it's free, oh yeah

If your art is done, Johnny get your gun
Join the rank and file, on your TV dial

Don't wear me down
I'm not running down
Don't wear me down
I'm not running down

1,2,3! If you want to take
A shot at me get in line
1,2,3! I've had all my
Shots and I'm fine

1,2,3! If you haven't had
Enough of me, get in line
1,2,3! You too deserve
It now, it's all right

1,2,3! We can drown in
Mediocrity, it feels sublime
1,2,3! It feels like someone
Pushed rewind

1,2,3! Give it to me easily,
My feeble mind needs time
1,2,3! Make it sweet and
Syrupy with rhyme

Don't drag me down
I'm not falling down
Don't drag me down
I'm not falling down

If your art is done, Johnny get your gun
Join the rank and file, on your TV dial

The grip of fear is already here
The lines are drawn
Whose side are you on?

Sweet like my tomato
Red cherry tomato
Down at the market pick out the ripe one
Tempting me sorely and I want to bite one
Wait, wait save it for later

We had a good time at the beginning
It tasted just like all the things I was missing
I'll go at full boil 'till you
Stop, stop, stop, stop me
Later

Stay and I will make you dinner
Taste, each dish will be better
After the first bite say it's delicious
But then appetite isn't what we'd predicted
Would you want to head it up later?

We had a good time at the beginning
It tasted just like all the things I was missing
I'll go at full boil 'till you
Stop, stop, stop, stop me
Later

Rollercoaster, want to go back to the way things were
I'm on a rollercoaster, want to get back on the Tilt-a-Whirl

I'm dizzy and faithless, where is the ground?
You said this thing would not go upside down
Rollercoaster, want to go back to the way things were
All right

Sweet like my tomato
Red cherry tomato
I know that some of our days are bitter
Stay will me honey and things could get better
Wait, wait until later

We had a good time at the beginning
It tasted just like all the things I was missing
I'll go at full boil 'till you
Stop, stop, stop, stop me
Later

I'm tired of waiting on a ship that won't leave shore
I'm tired of waiting on a ship that won't leave shore
The water's bloody with the ones, who came before
The water's bloody with the ones, who came before
Hey, she made you say it, yeah they'll make you say it
Yeah, you know you said it alot
Hey, you never stay for, now you gotta pray for
Something better than what you've got

I'm tired of waiting on a plane that don't have wings
I'm tired of waiting on a plane that don't have wings
The runway's rotten with the dirt and weeds
The runway's rotten with the dirt and weeds
Hey, he made you say it, yeah they'll make you say it
Yeah, you know you sad it out loud
You never stay for, now you gotta pray for
Something better than what you've got

I booked my ticked
Packed my bags
Flight is leaving
Our time has passed
I'm tired of knocking on a door that just won't budge
Locked out of the engine
It's a wheel that you have spun
But who's to say I don't have wings

Oh little light
That shines for me in the dark of night
Oh little sigh
Sometimes I follow you all the way home
I would almost have to ask you
I hate to be led
So give me a spark I can look for instead

How do you do it
This bitter and bloody world
Keep it together and shine for your family
How do you do it
With visions of worst to come
Live in the present
And spin off the rays of sun

Oh little beam
Splitting the fog and the dirt in between
Oh simplify
Like a problem you try to work out in your mind
I would almost have to ask you
It's clumsy when said
So give me a spark I can look for instead

How do you do it
This bitter and bloody world
Keep it together and shine for your family
How do you do it
With visions of worst to come
Live in the present
And spin off the rays of sun
