MAKE IT HAPPEN (pt. 1)
we could make it happen
gonna make it happen
can you hear me?
no!
i can't hear you
oh yeah!
i can hear you
you sounds so true
have you lost your mind?
HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND?
have you lost your mind? / specimen
oh, hi!
glad you could make it
...so am i
i don't wanna lose my mind
i don't wanna lose my mind
i don't wanna lose my mind
i don't wanna lose my mind
no
but baby you make me crazy
i just lost my mind
i just lost my mind
but it feels alright
it feels alright
i'm so glad i lost my mind
it's alright
to lose your mind
why don't you
do what i tell you?
why don't you
do what i tell you?
ALRIGHT!
you look a lot like me
when i'm not looking
i'd like to see--hey!--
you and me cooking
ok! could be dinner
could be breakfast
we could go shopping
just to give you a taste
look at you
look at me
look at them
what do you see?
SPECIMEN
take my temperature
take my eyeballs out
take my hair
i don't care anymore
i'm just a specimen
for invisible scientist
i don't care
if you stare at my tail
my third eye
or the wings
sprouting out my back
i'm a demon
i’m the devil!…
or an angel
in disguise
take my temperature
dissect me in the parking lot
do what it takes
for the benefit
of the trilobytes
what the hell
what are you doing to that baby
sky’s full of babies
baby paratroopers
landing in the parking lot
what do they want?
take my temperature
in the restaurant
take my skin
hang it on the wall
on the waaaaaaaaall
what the hell
is on your wall?
portrait of a mime
pardon me i lost my mind
i drank the wine
falling from the sky
PIGEONS
are you ok?
involved living
day to day?
i don’t know what’s happening
outside my window
there’s a line of pigeons marching
carrying a human
there’s a centipede
preaching to her
i don’t know what it is
i don’t know what’s happening…
there’s a tree
floating away
it’s very interesting
but i don’t why
there’s a baby
growing exponentially
the weatherman
is drunk again
i don’t know what’s happening
says the children
there’s a line of pigeons
marching single file
down to the old peculiar
i said it’s time for a new occupation my friends
because you will inherit the parking lot of consciousness
oh shit!
bring me back my burrito!
why did you steal my soul?
1311
thank you, america
you’re coming back
gonna get down
to some 1311 shit…
taking baths all day
in the waterfall
eating fish that you catch
with your bare hands
making love in the sun
double chaise
on a riverbank
making babies today
ooh!
1311
it was like heaven
we didn’t have cell phones
saran wrap, plastic meat
product from a CAFO—oh no!
we didn’t know
1311
two prime numbers together
who knows?
maybe 1311 is itself
a prime number
it is very large
there are chimpanzees in space
calculating large sums
1311
everything made sense
even the superstitions
yeah
you could drink the water
but then you might not survive
filled with blood
1311
everyone wants to go back to 1311
you know why — i don’t
everyone got along with no diseases
death song
everyone making love in the castle walls
no one got mad
no one got dead
even the dragons were friendly
NOTHING TO UNDERSTAND
there’s not much to understand
there’s nothing to understand
nothing
even if you could understand
what makes you think you understand?
the illusion of our knowledge
denial of our limitations
we think we have it in hand
but even if you’re jerking off
what you have in your hand
doesn’t matter as much
as what you’re thinking
what you imagine
remember the past
there is nothing to understand
i don’t get it
i don’t get it
then you understand!
(i’m lonely)
THE FUTURE IS COMING BACK
the future is coming back
the future is coming back
the future is coming back
yeah, here comes the future!
yeah, here comes the future!
the future is coming back
the future is coming back
the future is coming back
WHY START?
i can’t do enough
so why should i start?
if i can’t fix it…
i didn’t break it
i can’t do enough
why should i start?
why should i start?
did you ever wake up?
roll over, go back to sleep
what did you dream?
why should i start?
why should i start?
COUNTRY FAIR
i often dream of the same place
it’s a rugged coastal finger
sticking its hand into the ocean
i feel very comfortable
though there’s some stress
someone wants what i got i guess
who arranged this?
i went to the country fair
there was no one there
i got on the ferris wheel
ate some cotton candy
(i need a nurse!)
nurse!
i’m hallucinating again
at the country fair
there’s a tiny man in my IV bag
drinking a latte
i need a nurse!
a centipede crawling
under my skeleton
there’s a scorpion
in my gelatin!
i need a nurse!
i need a nurse
i need a nurse
i need a nurse
i need a nurse
no one really cares
at the country fair
oh shit
here comes a clown
i gotta get outta here
MORE LIKE ME
i wish i was
more like me
don't you see
it's all chemistry?
once upon a time
i was a baby
now i’m addicted
to mushroom gravy
i wish i was
more like me
i wish i was
more like me
me too!
i was a baby
bathing in gravy
born with a siver spoon
next to me—it was a ladle
i was just watching tv
i wish you were more like me
i found a dead cat
underneath an RV
i wish i was more like me
i wish you were more like you
i wish you were more like me
i wish we were more like we
i wish you would listen to me
don’t walk away when i’m throwing
my bones at the window pane
this ghost of spain
you look a lot like me
i wish my eyes could see
you look a lot like me
cardboard in the rain
don’t walk away
take advice from that guy dressed
like the lady in the tree
i wish you were more like me
i wish you were more like me
i wish i was you like me
i wish you would just like me
i wish you would give me everything
why don’t you like me?
why don’t you like my song?
i wish you were more like me we you!!!
i wish you were more like me
i wish you were more like me
i wish you were more like me
i wish you were more like me
THE INTERVIEW
this is the interview!
you have to listen—
this is the interview
tell me your moment of weakness
while duct taped to a wall in Fife
this is your interview—
you’re not doing very well
ah, well
there was that time i was in Fife
i couldn’t clear the hole in my pipe
so i got some Drano
from a hardware store i broke into
climbed in the window
what’s your favorite marsupial?
i guess a duck-billed platypus
that is incorrect
i guess a koala, maybe?
very well, now, very well, moving on
when’s the last time you watched
a movie starring dustin hoffman?
it might have been Tootsie
with my mom, in the theater
tell me about that!
she laughed
bring me the head
of a yeti man
i want you
you want that
it’s a wrap
i’m a rat
HIGHWAY’S ON FIRE
well the highway’s on fire
it’s just a funeral pyre
automobiles burning up
are you alright tonight?
well, the highway’s on fire!
makes me perspire
‘cause the highway’s on fire
100 miles up in flames
it’s too late to feel pain
there’s muscles and brain
turned to ash it’s totally insane
the highway’s on fire
the highway’s on fire
the highway’s on fire
everything’s red
everything orange
what was alive
has now been scorched
highway’s on fire
highway’s on fire
i don’t know why
i don’t know how
highway’s on fire
i’m just a skeleton
on the freeway
charred black
eyes have melted
out of my head
because…
the highway’s on fire
highway’s on fire
highway’s on fire
on fire!
highway’s on fire
highway’s on fire
highway’s on fire
i need a nurse!
MARCHING THROUGH THE GROCERY STORE
marching through the grocery store
i forgot what i am looking for
marching through the grocery store
marching through the grocery store
touch the lemons
squeeze the lime
throw the bread
i ain’t got time
marching through the grocery store
standing in line
i lose my mind
a man in a mask
he steals my limes
marching through the grocery store
i can’t find the frozen peas
and i can’t find the new diseases
someone tells me get anyway
from the lightbulbs today
marching through the grocery store
marching through the grocery store
left right
left right
hut hut
company halt!
GIVE IT TO ME

give it to me
give it to me
give it to me
you got what i need
but i need it when
you give it to me
when you give it to me
when you give it to me
when you give it to me
when you give it to me

don’t turn away
don’t run from me
my dream, my dream

what is this dream?
what does it mean?
nothing;s what it seems
you got to keep on trying
i don’t know where i’m going
(mental collapse)
WE CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN (pt. 2)
we can make it happen
just put your foot forward
then you put your other foot forward
make it happen
make it happen
it’s not that hard
make it happen
make it happen
make it happen
make it happen
make it happen
can’t you make it happen?
i think you can make it happen
you can make it happen
can’t you…
please?
about
invented on the spot
global pandemic be damned
two seemingly healthy men
in a concrete bunker
smoking cigars every
chance they get
