Jump The Front Row
02:56

call in the companions
seating for the show
he's a westside daredevil
he only jumps the front row
but they just flooded the canyon
thought you'd like to know
laughter in the balcony
movement in the aisle
foolish in the cheap seats
'cause he's a fool with style
he's a westside daredevil
and he will reconcile

Spiritual Spelling Bee
04:32

|
burn a candle in the window
a light so they can see
calling out across the void now
a spiritual spelling bee
do they have a dictionary
do the lines connect
do they open up the doors at night
just for effect
should we bite the phantom hand
bad grammar command
there's a message in the ether
read you loud and clear
tongues and automatic writing
now shake the chandelier
are they shouting at the devil
do they come in jest
do they separate the gullible of us
from all the rest
should we bite the phantom hand

andrea started a band
but she did not understand
she wanted to be as cool as she can
you better not touch that letter
you better not touch that dial
all the girls started to shout
when the pity poetry starts
with every word bouncing back from their hearts
as if she'd never learned the difference
between precocious and precious
andrea's dying her hair back to red
and then strangely enough
even all of the boys did
she'll never remove the tattoo that she drew
on her right shoulder blade
you know it's not enough to say
andrea sat on the stage
wet with blood, sweat, and bitter rage
wondering why she felt old for her age
when all the girls said they loved her
like she'd been left for dead
andrea's dying her hair back to red
and then strangely enough
even all of the boys did
she'll never remove the tattoo that she drew
on her right shoulder blade
you know it's not enough to say
all your dreams are gone
never will you sing no more
you know you've got the right thing going on
andrea's dying her hair back to red
and then strangely enough
even all of the boys did
she'll never remove the tattoo that she drew
on her right shoulder blade
you know it's not enough to say
all your dreams are gone
never will you sing no more
you know you've got the right thing going on

Simple Posing

|
shouting out to deliver all the toys that you've burned
you will not be satisfied by the urges of the turned
you've thought of every reason for the treasons that you've learned
discuss into obscurity 'cause that's the way it's done
it's not a real party until no one's having fun
these half thought out philosophies are like staring into the sun

Symposium

that girl has all the answers filed away for quick retrieval
that girl is poison as was written by
bel biv devoe, no
watch me form my grand hypothesis
study after study we've done
shows everyone we know to be dumb
everybody under the sun
thinks the unexamined life is more fun
study after study we've done
shows everyone we know to be dumb
that guy has no conception of the errors in his perception
he knows that everybody loves him so
glad to see him go, no
watch me form my grand hypothesis
study after study we've done
shows everyone we know to be dumb
everybody under the sun
thinks the unexamined life is more fun
study after study we've done
shows everyone we know to be dumb
study after study we've done
shows everyone we know to be dumb
everybody under the sun
thinks the unexamined life is more fun
study after study we've done
shows everyone we know to be dumb

Chicks In Time Machines
02:21

|
for the kids in the mall
by decree of the queen
the chicks in time machines
will respond to the call
the artless and small
are burning all their magazines
summon up the youth brigade
the stockade is bolted tight
fire all the searchlights into the night
back in the fold
the spirits of gold
are scolding the tv screen
the tv recants
and offers a dance
to the chicks in time machines
arming all the wide-eyed types
looking for a fight
fire all the searchlights into the night
the sidewalks are lined
with beauty defined
the well-clad speaker teens
are checking their charts
for a place in our hearts
for the chicks in time machines
summon up the youth brigade
the stockade is bolted tight
fire all the searchlights into the night
it's alright, it's alright

Miner's Shortwave
04:43

cold mine down below
all things small refuse to grow
solid state radio
still won't save you
from the wages of a daughter lover
as you dig out the mother
deep and slow
drop a charge down the well
all things small refuse to sell
never hear the warning bell
as the blast hits
and the pieces won't receive the care
that you'd love to share
and rust like hell
now you're back in the dark
all things small produce a spark
just can't wait for the bark
flip the on switch
and you'll spread your message through the air
that you'd love to share
