"I Can Read Your Mind"
Hey hey you, yeah I know you
I know where you're heading to
I know what what what you're gonna do now
I know all your hopes and fears
I know all your joy and tears
There's no thought in your head that I cannot find
I can read your mind

Scrambled Channels
I've found a way
to escape to a
far corner of my brain
I'd take you with me
but I can't
oh isn't it a shame
Don't worry I'm okay
I might be slightly insane
Do you think?
The TV is melting my brain
I have been living
season to season
I haven't been giving
much bother to reason
I wasn't born this way
believe it's just the airwaves
It's okay
The TV's just melting my brain
I really get my kicks
When everything just clicks, don't you?
I have been living
Season by season or two
Give me more channels
Give me more channels
Give me more channels
Give me more channels

"Attack"
I feel it creeping in again
I hear them moving and they're whispering to me
I hear them singing little songs
I feel it turning in my stomach now
And crawling in my skin
I'm always subject to these little fits of rage
And then I try to turn the page
I try to round them up and keep them in a cage
I run so far far far away
And yet somehow they still escape and manage to triangulate
I'm always subject to these little fits of rage
Then I attack
I feel it creeping in again
I'm always subject to these little fits of rage
I run so far far far away
I'm always subject to these little fits of rage
And I attack

"Earworm"
I don't know
about you
but I get tired a lot
I don't know
about you
but now I'm sick all the time
I don't know
about you
but there's a song in my head
Cant' describe just now it goes, but it rhymes
These days you gotta know where you are at all times
If I hum a little tune
Then maybe you'll hear it too
La de da, and do do do
I think is in the refrain
Hey, hey, lucky you
It really sticks to the brain
And I think it drives me a little insane but I don't mind
Cant' describe just now it goes, but it rhymes
These days you gotta know where you are at all times

"Catchy"
My friend has only one friend
And he's been acting strange
So I've been hiding
Can't see me
Can't find me
I've been on your mind
and you've been on my mind
and my mind's been on my own mind the whole time
if you don't mind
we'll meet some other time
but by that time we'll both lose our minds
in the meantime
Can't see me
Can't find me
My friend has an infectious
personality
So I've been reclusive
Because he's trying to give it to me
Can't see me
Can't find me
I've been on your mind
and you've been on my mind
and my mind's been on my own mind the whole time
if you don't mind
we'll meet some other time
but by that time we'll both lose our minds
in the meantime
Can't see me
Can't find me

Callback

"Callback"
It is highly recommended
During any old pandemic
By just about every academic
To stay away if you can
Last thing you want to do
Is go and breathe in someone's goo
And go spreading it all around
To your family and friends
It's important to remember
You should try not to panic
While we all watch the Titanic
As it finally descends
Not really much to do
Except drink up all our booze
And sing a little blues
While we wait for it to end
My thoughts on the matter
Is that this could go on
For a long long long while
If you're sick, please get better
That's some poisonous weather
Since we can't get together
Better call me, my friend
I know I just said it
But I never said it better
Since we can't get together
Here's the message that I send
My thoughts on the matter
It's important to remember to
Try not to crack
When you feel yourself spiraling
But friends keep on dialing
You should call them back
My thoughts on the matter
Is that this could go on
For a long long long while
Take care of yourselves
Be careful out there
Officially they say it may never go away
What the future holds, nobody knows
But the people in power don't really got much to say
While they destroy and devour our hopes
Artists and poets already know what to do
And get working on paintings and prose
You better get to it, you better not get it wrong
Dead people don't write songs
They actually DEcompose
My thoughts on the matter
Is that this could go on
For a long long long while
Be careful out there
Take care of yourselves
Take care of yourselves
Be careful out there because

(Gonna make me wait til I get old)
When am I ever gonna take control?
Gonna make me wait til I get old
When am I ever gonna reach my goal?
Gonna make me wait til I get old
When is the devil gonna claim my soul?
Gonna make me wait til I get old
When does it stop with the push and pull?
Gonna make me wait til I get old
When is it finally gonna take its toll?
Gonna make me wait til I get old
When is the devil gonna claim my soul?
Gonna make me wait til I get old

"(clean version)"
Got a feeling it's time for a cleaning
To the floor, from the ceiling
We know it's not the time for raid
At least not for the time being
Now everybody sing
In ritualistic fashion at the sink
Take soap
And water
Squeeze together
Wash your hands
And floss your teeth
You high fiving motherfucker
Our drummer is a trucker
You think he wants to breathe your plague?
We can't read your bumper sticker
Not sure what to think
Your breath and attitude both really stink
Take soap
And water
Squeeze together
Wash your hands
And floss your teeth
The consequences
could be dire
Take soap and water
Squeeze together

"Too Tight"
Some people seem
to be alright
they got a way
they sleep at night
they do their deeds
they get it right
get in their way
you pick a fight
they're wound too tight
they're wound too tight
they're wound too tight
but you and me
we know the plight
and in a way
we're not all right
when what we see
Day and night
and saturdays
cuts like a knife
we're wound too tight
we're wound too tight
we're wound too tight
As you can see
I'm not alright
but I'm ok
most of the time
what I need
day and night
To clear the weeds
And see the light
I'm wound too tight
I'm wound too tight
I'm wound too tight
Don't roll too tight
Don't roll too tight
Don't roll too tight

"Quarantine Age Wasteland"
I've got an idea for a new religion
To help us break free from the old tradition
You can't find them in the heavens, you'll find them in the STREETS
Everybody bow down to the common pigeon
Cuz the priests
And the police
And all the representatives
Don't represent the streets
We have the power to break these chains
And start a new beginning
They take what you've got that's in your pocket
Tell you there's nothing you can do to stop it
Keeping you down while calling you FREE
They don't give a shit about you or me
Follow the pigeon
Missionaries with a mission
Common pigeon, common people
I think it would be bitchin'
We'd tear it all down till nothing remains
And start a new tradition
All hail the common pigeon

"Reverse Neutral Drive"
It's an awful nice day
I feel terribly fine
Zero worries but
Just give me some time
Pretty soon I'm gonna lose my mind
and I'll be
singin' in the rain
And I'll be staring at the ceiling and the mirror and the floor
I'll be counting every minute till you walk through the front door
Kiss kiss
do you really exist
do you really exist
do you really exist
because i love you
Really need to try to
keep my head on tight
everywhere I go
I feel terrified
So it's off with my brain
On with the rain
I've got a
Smile on my face
I'll still be staring at the ceiling and the mirror and the floor
There's nothing quite like when you walk through the front door
Kiss kiss
do we really exist
do we really exist
do we really exist
because I missed you

"Time and Love"
Apart at the seams
Caught between two heavy things and you
Can't hear me scream
How I wish it all were just a dream
It's in the lives that we build
The things that we do and the ones that we love
Not a thrill
Love can cure and love can kill
If by some great design
After this there is nothing profound and there's nothing divine
I was yours and you were mine
After everything I've withstood
I did what I could, I did what I could
This was never part of the plan
I'll do what I can, I'll do what I can
There are things on my mind
Things I don't know how to say
And there isn't much time
But it's always that way
If it weren't for my family, my son and my daughter,
my brother, my sister, my mother, my father
my beautiful wife, the love of my life
A life without love isn't life
I'm so happy to be alive

"Ride the Wave"
Can you hear me now?
Can you figure me out?
Everybody feels it
There's nothing to worry about
Ride the wave
Right away

Ride away
Just whisper in my ear
Just let me know that you're here
I think it might be love
Just to be perfectly clear
Ride the wave
Ride away
Ride the wave
Right away

"Let It In"
Don't really sleep at night
Daytime I feel mesmerized
Seeing something in the dark
Seeing shadows in the light
It feels like there's nothing wrong
It feels like there's nothing right
I don't see the world no more
The same way I did before
It's getting easier
It's gonna be all right
You've been a real good host,
Sincerely,
Parasites
It's something sinister
It hits you like a song
I heard it once before
Now it's too easy to find my soul
Let it in, it'll never leave
When it sings to me it makes all the right faces
And it plays the notes in all the right places
All the people dance and sing its praises
And it never, ever ceases to amaze us
Let it in, it'll never leave
All my friends will soon agree
When you let it in, it'll never leave
All my friends, they do agree, yeah
When you let it in, it'll never leave
All the world will soon agree, yeah
When you let it in, it'll never leave
Let it in
It'll never leave
