The Grinder

You can come, you can come over to my house for fun, for a good time
It's been so long since I've seen you, long since I've seen you
I can't believe you have two kids and a dog now
You can come, you can come over to my house for fun, for a good time
I am still in the same place as I was last year, east Rock and Sterling
With the big backyard and the Murphy bed that you can stay on
If you get too drunk and can't make your way home in the night
It's alright, we can get breakfast in the morning
At the Little Grill if the wait isn't too long
But if it is I would like to go to Jess' Lunch for a hot dog and a milkshake
But at the Grill I'm gonna miss the Grinder
Are you really gonna come to my house?
Are we really gonna hang out again?
You know that I would love to have you
You used to be my good friend.

Dabble

I like to dibble
And I like to dabble
I like to travel
In a world of treble
I like to meddle
And I like to muddle
I like to piddle
On a five string fiddle
I like to double
And I like to dribble
And I like to wobble
Like a three-legged table
I like to yodel
And I like to yarl
And I like to carol
In a hark of heralds
I like to jangle
And I like to jingle
I like to mingle
In a room of singles
I like to ramble
And I like to rumble
I like to tumble
In the sheets with Sheryl
I like to mambo
And I like to rambo
And I like to conquer
In a fierce roshambo
I like to scamper
And I like to pamper
And I like to leisure
In a vintage camper
I like to dibble
And I like to dabble
I like to travel
In a world of treble

Beam Me Up
03:39
|
|
||
|
Happiness is loving what you own
Maturity is loving how you've grown
Consciousness is letting it be known
Restlessness is making a new home
On the sun
Beam me up!
Charity is passing on a loan
Clarity is seeing what you've sown
Therapy is digging up your bones
Rarity is capturing the tones
Of the sun
Beam me up!
Lizards are the creatures of the heat
And penguins are the patrons of the sleet
In the rare event that they should meet
That would be the cause for my retreat
To the east
Beam me up!

Thoughts 2 Verse
01:30
|
|
||
|
People say to look on the bright side
I can't see the bright side, I'm too far away from it
People say to look at the right side
I can't see the right side, I'm much too left of it
Heaven is a place where your dog goes
But for everybody else, nobody knows
I can see the roof from the riptide
I can see the roof as I get swept away in it
I can see the proof from the far side
I can see the proof from the clear other end of it
Heaven is a place where your dog goes,
But for everybody else, nobody knows
Blessings are a curse
Enlightenment is worse
And I'm putting all my thoughts to verse
I can see the bone through the rawhide
I can see the bone as you see-saw away at it
I can hear the voice through the phone line
I can hear the voice as you sing-song away from it
Heaven is a place where your dog goes
But for everybody else, nobody knows
Blessings are a curse
Enlightenment is worse
And I'm putting all my thoughts to verse

Bowl Games
02:15
|
|
||
|
I'm not alone
Even left on my own
There's a buzz in the air I can feel
Play with the mind
And you'll have a good time
There's no room to leave life behind
Games in the bowl
You can flop until your belly is full
Games on the bank
There's a perfect repetition to make
Games in the hole
You can toss until your belly is full
Games in the sink
You can swim until your body is pink
I'm not alone
Even left on my own
There's a bug in my ear I can hear
Bend with the brain
And you'll make a new game
There's a beast in the bowl to be tamed
Games in the bowl
You can flop until your belly is full
Games on the bank
There's a perfect repetition to make
Games in the hole
You can toss until your belly is full
Games in the sink
You can swim until your body is pink

The Puckering
02:47
|
|
||
|
I'm starting to think that you want something
The puckering of the pain is a wonderful thing
I'm starting to think that you know something
The puckering of the pain is a glorious thing
And what does it mean when your egg is hatched?
And how does it feel to be unattached?
And how do you know when to make a run?
And why do you go if it's never fun?
I'm starting to take everything I need
The puckering of the pain is a wonderful thing
I'm starting to rip like a magazine
The puckering of the pain is a glorious thing
And what does it mean when your egg is hatched?
And how does it feel to be unattached?
And how do you know when to make a run?
And why do you go if it's never fun?

Let's Be Real
03:56
|
|

Let's be real with one another
I'm really glad you're alive, but not that we're together
It's a big mistake trying to push this on
It's not a hurdle, it's a time bomb
You went missing and I'm already gone
Let's be real with one another
I'm really glad you're alive, but not that we're together
It's a real big mess that we're swimming in
I got a rash all over my skin
And now I'm never going swimming again
Let's be real with one another
I'm really glad you're alive, but not that you're my lover
Cause you're a tough nut and I'm gonna crack
Open the vault, get my savings back
I'll keep my feelings in a burlap sack
Let's be real with one another
I'm really glad you can breathe, but not that you can smother
And the cards are on the stack
And we're shuffling the deck
But you always draw a wild
And you crush me every time
Let's be real with one another
I'm really glad you can fly, but not that you can hover
Cause you're a big blimp blowing up hot air
It's more pollution in the atmosphere
I was a passenger but now I can steer
Let's be real with one another
I'm really glad you can seek, but not that you discovered
That the world is flat, and we're sailing off
The end is nearing and I got a bad cough
I think Columbus was a real jerk-off
Let's be real with one another
I'm really glad you're alive, but not that you're lover
It's a big pig pen and we're rolling in mud
The cows and chickens are laughing at us
And farmer John is gonna kick and cuss
Let's be real with one another
I'm really glad you can swim, but not that you're a lobster
And the cards are on the stack
And we're shuffling the deck
But you always draw a wild
And you crush me every time
Let's be real with one another
I'm really glad you're alive, but not that you're my lover

Chasing Shadow
03:00
|
|
||
|
Oh what have I done?
I'm embarrassed to say
Oh where have you gone?
I'm imagining things
But I'm not going to follow
The enigma around
On a bus chasing a shadow
On the outskirts of town
Oh what have I done?
I'm embarrassed to say
Oh where have you gone?
I'm imagining things
But I'm not going to fall in
On account of a whim
Or a dog chasing its shadow
On the tail of the wind
Oh what have I done?
I'm embarrassed to say
Oh where have you gone?
I'm imagining things
But I'm not going to jump in
For a feeling that's good
I can wait in the shadow
For a place understood
