Nightboat
Here comes the Nightboat
There goes the Nightboat
Let's float
When the sun goes down
And the moon gets high
There's a shadow on the water
With some psychedelic vibes
Looking for adventure
Evil to smite
Fighting crime, finding treasure
Under cover of the night
Tell Tara, Jennifer and Gina
There's a new hero down the marina
Nightboat
Here comes the Nightboat
There goes the Nightboat
Let's float
Captain Gary got the helm
Maverick renegade
Communicates with ducks
They understand his pain
Majel the computer
Keeps the motor running
Keeps the lights lit
Keeps the guns gunning
No limit to the PowerMagination
Chart a course for syndication
Nightboat
Here comes the Nightboat
There goes the Nightboat
Let's float

A Thousand Cuts

Lost on the vision
Always a blessing
Never felt something, baby
Hit so fast
You don't call
You say that you did and
The phone is a liar again and again
Tell me the songs that you know by heart and
Tell me who's the boss
Who's faucet is on
And she takes...
Something got a hold of my head
I can't fade
Leave me in the sky, man
Leave when you say
You know I don't miss it
Rolling the stone
But I guess we built something
From this broken home
And I'm moving far away from you
But I never get as far as I wanted to
And she takes...
Assez mon dieu
J'en ai besoin, sacrebleu
Je me, je, me parlez-vous
In the city just shying away from the same thing
And all my friends are rivers and ruts
Done low by a thousand cuts
And she takes...

Zebras

We can be zebras
These stripes don't run
But we can run
Together
Like zebras
Salt and pepper
Curry and cayenne
Sit together on my spice rack
Like a metaphor for Man
Everyone's a little different
Everyone's medium rare
Pink on the inside
Blood and bones and hair
We can be zebras
These stripes don't run
But we can run
Together
Like zebras
Every rhinoceros is a unicorn
The tropics of Cancer and Capricorn
Wrap around the world like a great big hug
Let love flow like a diuretic drug
I'm intolerant of Intolerance
Greed, Injustice and Dominance
Love's the word
Love's a verb
Run the herd
Word
We can be zebras
These stripes don't run
But we can run
Together
Like zebras
I had a dream of universal health care
I had a dream of universal basic income
I had a dream every valley was exalted
I had a dream I could talk to my cat
And my cat looked at me
Yeah, she looked at me
And she said
Can't we all just get along
Can't we all just get along, meow meow
Can't we all just get along
Can't we all just get along, meow meow
We can be zebras
These stripes don't run
But we can run
Together
Like zebras

Be Still and Know

Only tourist in Havana
Thin green candle
Burning on the mantle
Long as it's enabled
Weird but inclusive
Straight but elusive
Focus on the best thing
Make it real
Don't be leaving
Don't believe in anything
Don't leave anything on the table
Don't be leaving
Don't believe in anything
Don't leave anything on the table
Sidewalk chalk
Birds that talk
Tell me that you got everything you want
Hydrocars
Stars on thars
Let it go
Be still and know
Maximize potential
Strip the inessential
Lose it in the lawn
In the tall grass
It's too easy
If you're lonely
To mistake missing someone
For being in love
Don't be leaving...

I tried so hard I just can't seem to get used to it
Here I stand alone atop my precipice
I can't believe all this time I've been a mess
All the things I've sacrificed for your sweet chaos
All the time I used to spend with you
I get to spend alone
All the time I used to spend with you
I get to spend alone
I always liked me better anyway
I always had much more interesting things to say
I was always much better of a lay
Always knew what I liked better than you any day
All the time I used to spend with you
I get to spend alone
All the time I used to spend with you
I get to spend alone

Hammock of Cake

UK cheese
Spot of tea
Call it a biscuit
A cookie to me
Call your friends
Get em over
Coral Castle
Casa Loma
Penguins
Pangolins
Play to win
Hot ranch wings
Hot as cubes
Cool as sun
Everything's a sign
If you're looking for one
Every time we have a quorum
I second that emotion
I'll vie for that promotion
Keep you warm
Plenty of room in the hammock of cake
To wake and bake and make mistakes
Everything is perfect here with you
You and me in the attic of love
And we can't get higher than the roof above
Anything that pleases you, I'll do
Fairfield
Lowlands
Midway and Midlothian
Belle View, Greenheath
San Juan, Fort Pitt, Dell, the Reach
The Copse and Ravine
And the Hillside, the Meadow
The Moor, Long Acre, Home
Westward Ho
Tell me all the things you want to do
Maybe I would like to do them do
Plenty of room in the hammock of cake...

Secrets

I've got something to tell you
I've got something to say
I've got something to tell you
Need to tell you right away
Secrets
Secrets
Juicy secrets
Secrets
If you got one
Best keep it to yourself
If you don't then
You might as well just yell your
Juicy secrets
Secrets
Juicy secrets
Secrets
Got a secret
It's buried deep inside
Gotta get it out
Cause it's eating me alive
The king has horns
The king has horns
The king has horns
The king has horns
The king has horns
The king has horns
I'm a dead man

Fairytales (Abridged)

Sunken walls
Lost time
Precursor ancient legends
Heresy
Hearsay
Light sedevacantism
Stay the course
Uphold
Deals with the chief commander
All that's seen
Unseen
He knows if yinz a jagoff
He knows if yinz a jagoff
I am all
I am
All I can be
Right here now
Fairytales
Abridged
The opposite of delving
Show me more
I'm not
Interested in innocences
One day we'll
Get sick
And won't get any better
We're grieving for our own deaths
Unwelcome in the garden
The beauty of the ritual
Then up comes the water
We're grieving for our own deaths
Unwelcome in the garden
The beauty of the ritual
Then up comes the water
Then up comes the water...
He knows if yinz a jagoff
