Schooner

Come on, take a ride with me
On my boat, it's guaranteed
To be a trip you won't forget
if you're hot I'll get you wet
Yeah, we'll cruise along the coast
Watch the sun as it's almost
Lost in the horizon's view
All the colors all for you
I’m so desirable
Oooh, baby, I’m so cool.
I'm mostly harmless
Get on my
Get get on my
Schooner
Come on, baby don't be shy
Set the sail and touch the sky
Water's calm, the breeze is right
Perfect day for a ride tonight
I’m so desirable
Oooh, baby, I’m so cool.
I'm mostly harmless
Get on my
Get get on my
Schooner
ChatGPT in the club
Pre-trained, bubs and dubs
Down to frack, make it rain
Throwing down lines like cheap cocaine
Big cat, artificial life
Real enough to steal your wife
Steal your job
You're obsolete
He’s GPT
You’re just meat
Rock it baby side to side
This deck is hard wood
Polished polished hardwood
Hop on you should hop on you should
Rock it rock it side to side
Rock it on the hardwood
Polished polished hardwood
Hop on you should
Get get on my schooner

Fly
03:25
|
|||
I was minding my own business on a linen tablecloth
When I stumbled on a bowl filled with a savory broth
I could not resist temptation, I had no time to think
Flew right into the bowl and I took a mighty drink
I'm a fly stuck in a bowl of soup
At a fancy restaurant, I’m dreading the scoop
Wish I could escape, but I'm stuck in here
In this bowl of soup, my doom is near
I see the waiters rushing 'round, carrying trays of food
But none of them notice me, swimming so crude
The other flies buzzing 'round, enjoying the feast
But I'm a prisoner of the bowl, there’ll be no release
I'm a fly stuck in a bowl of soup
At a fancy restaurant, I’m dreading the scoop
Wish I could escape, but I'm stuck in here
In this bowl of soup, my doom is near
I see the diners all around, enjoying their meal
But little do they know, I'm part of the deal
I see the spoon coming, it's getting closer
I try to fly away, but I'm a loser
Feel the heat on my wings, it's getting hotter
Won't get to say goodbye to my wife and my daughter
I'm a fly stuck in a bowl of soup
At a fancy restaurant, I’m dreading the scoop
Wish I could escape, but I'm stuck in here
In this bowl of soup, my doom is near

Bad Things
02:45
|

Jean gets chased by a swarm of bees
Trips and falls in a vat of cheese
Jean gets hit in the head with a golf ball
Flat tire on the way to the hospital
Bad things happening to Jean
She's a real loser, real piece of work
Bad things happening to Jean
She's a bad person, God thinks she's a jerk
Jean gets struck by lightning twice
Skating on the pond and she falls through the ice
Gets stuck in quicksand, mauled by bears
Seven kinds of COVID, no one cares
Bad things happening to Jean
She's such a jag, dragging out the game
Bad things happening to Jean
She's a bad person, God thinks she's lame
Spills coffee on her clothes
Gets a sunburn on her toes
Ticks and mosquitos bite her on the nose
She steals my bricks, she steals my sheep
It’s a shame she wakes up when she goes to sleep
Bad things happening to Jean
She's such a jag, dragging out the game
Bad things happening to Jean
She's a bad person, God thinks she's lame
Bad things happening to Jean
She's a real loser, real piece of work
Bad things happening to Jean
She's a bad person, God thinks she's a jerk

Beneath the surface of the earth
A hidden world of rock and dirt
Where tectonic plates collide
Mountains rise, valleys glide
It's the science of seismic attribute mapping
A tool for geologists to track and know
The hidden forces at work below
And the secrets that the earth doth hold
Through seismic waves and data analysis
We can map the geology beneath
And understand the patterns and trends
That shape the land and all its ends
It's the science of seismic attribute mapping
A tool for geologists to keep track
Of the hidden forces at work below
And the secrets that the earth doth hold
From earthquakes and tremors
To the formation of oil and gas
Seismic attribute mapping
Helps us understand it all at last
It's the science of seismic attribute mapping
A tool for geologists to keep track
Of the hidden forces at work below
And the secrets that the earth doth hold

The Case I Crave
04:36
|
|||
The neon lights have all gone dark
No more sliders, no more fries
Empty tables, broken chairs
Ghostly echo of happier times
White Castle, a ghost of the past
A symbol of loss, a shadow that's cast
White Castle, you couldn't be saved
Time has erased the case that I craved
You were the first, could've been McDonald’s
But you rejected the franchise models
Perforated patty, onions, pickle and a bun
Simple tiny sliders, you could crush a ton
The tables and chairs are covered in dust
The kitchen once bustling, now silent and hushed
The smell of grease lingers in the air
But there's no one left, no one left to care
White Castle, a ghost of the past
A symbol of loss, a shadow that's cast
White Castle, you couldn't be saved
Time has erased the case that I craved
Abandoned White Castle
A lonely and forgotten place
They had the cases I would crave
Now it's just an empty grave
You could eat 'em by the sack 'til you had your fill
There never ever was one in Cherry Hill
Closed down Cleveland, Zanesville, too
Never had a castle in the 412
Columbus is two hours and a half away
But it's close as it gets for the case I crave
At least you got Krystal If you're deep down south
And you wanna stuff sliders in your hungry mouth
You can buy a frozen box for the microwave
But it ain’t the same as the case I craved
White Castle, a ghost of the past
A symbol of loss, a shadow that's cast
White Castle, you couldn't be saved
Time has erased the case that I craved

Wait Your Whole Life
03:58
|
|||
You live your life day by day
Never knowing what might come your way
You can exercise, you can pray
But you never know if you'll live to see another day
Gotta wait your whole life
To find out if you're murdered
Gotta wait your whole life
To see if you’ll get whacked
Try to be cautious, try to be smart
But no matter what you do, you can't escape the dark
There's always a chance that you'll meet your end
And you'll have to face the end my friend
Gotta wait your whole life
To find out if you're murdered
Gotta wait your whole life
To see if you’ll get whacked
Don't let fear control your life
Live each day like it's your last
Cherish all the time that you have
Cause you never know when it’s your time to pass
Does someone got a gun or a knife or a bomb
DId someone spread poison on your corn on the cob
Cut the lines on your brakes, fill your house with snakes
Did you trip or were you pushed down the steps
Or do you pass in your sleep naturally in peace
And your body gets eaten by your pets
Gotta wait your whole life
To find out if you're murdered
Gotta wait your whole life
To see if you’ll get whacked

Party Hard
02:53
|
|||
Christmas Eve at the office
Off the clock, drinks are flowing
Dressed up fine, ready to party
Can't wait to see where the night is going
Sipping eggnog, getting it started
A night to remember, a night to party
Party Hard, Party Hard
At the Nakatomi Plaza Christmas party
Live free, party with a vengeance
Nakatomi Plaza Christmas party
Mistletoe is hanging, lights are shining bright
Lobster on the left, prime rib on the right
Snowflakes by the light of the moon
Nobody’s leaving anytime soon
Party Hard, Party Hard
At the Nakatomi Plaza Christmas party
It's a good day to party hard
At the Nakatomi Plaza Christmas party
Yippie Ki-Yay, mother nature
Let it snow
Let it snow
Party Hard, Party Hard
At the Nakatomi Plaza Christmas party
Live free, party with a vengeance
Nakatomi Plaza Christmas party
It's a good day to party hard
At the Nakatomi Plaza Christmas party
It's a long way down from the roof
At the Nakatomi Plaza Christmas party

Meatball Jesus
02:16
|
|||
There once was a meatball named Jesus
He was round and plump, full of flavor and spices
He came from the kitchen, a dish divine
Sent to bring joy to this world of mine
Meatball Jesus, how we love thee
Served up hot with some sauce and cheese
You bring us together in fellowship and fun
Meatball Jesus, our savior in a bun
Some say he was just a simple meal
But to us he's a hero, to us he's real
He may not look like much, but he's worth his weight in gold
Meatball Jesus, a story to be told
Meatball Jesus, how we love thee
Served up hot with some sauce and cheese
You bring us together, in fellowship and fun
Meatball Jesus, our savior in a bun
He may not be the traditional savior
But he's the one that we choose to follow
With his love and his grace, he brings us all together
Meatball Jesus, forever and forever
(Hanc escam sume et manduca)
Meatball Jesus, how we love thee
Served up hot with some sauce and cheese
You bring us together, in fellowship and fun
Meatball Jesus, our savior in a bun

Your Grace
05:48
|
|||
As I walk
Through this land
My eyes are clear
My skin is tanned
Chicory and sweet pear
Growing by the Queen Anne's lace
Swaying waves of grain
Got nothing on your grace
We'd jump and swing
When our bones were young
You'd fold my sweaters
The shirts got hung
Put you on a pedestal
You put me in my place
You dug my sense of humor
I dug your style and your grace
My peerage is respectable
My taste, delectable
Medicinal at festivals
With jezebels collectable
But they weren't you
I can't be soothed with cheap embrace
You accepted me
In your forgiveness and your grace
I ain't no coward
Never took no easy road
Won't live in reruns
Or Bottle episodes
Sketching you from memory
Every freckle on your face
Until I’m returned
To the favor of your grace
Take your time
Make it count
Good news waiting
To be found out
Roll off the treble
Gimmie a little bit more bass
You can stay for dinner
First you gotta say your grace
Eight strawberry leaves
Five ermine tails
Potent high and noble
Standard on the sails
Take a knee, bow your head
If they're watching, just in case
When you address the Duke
You say, please, Your Grace
