Ohh Ohh Ohh

It's when you think you know what to write
that it all falls apart
a blank page staring back at you and
you don't know where to start
It would be so easy to make it up as I go
A couple of words just thrown together until it starts to flow
(chorus)
Ohh Ohh Ohh
The scratchin' pen so satisfying
when it finally hits the page
but if you're searching for wisdom
I am not your sage
Peeling back the layers
Surprised by what I find
I map my way to the center
by devising clever lines
(chorus)
Try as I may, to hear the muse speak
She knows much better than to trust me when I'm weak
The wind may tell me secrets, but in confidence I'll share
What a little birdie told me while I was standing there
(chorus)
It's when you think you know what to write
that it all falls apart
Try to share that sacred language
found within my heart
These words may be jumbled
but their meaning I'll convey
Being with you is the best part of my day

Sometimes when I am feeling down
Sometimes when I don't wanna pick my head up from the pillow
I could wait for the sun to shine
But I don't, no I don't
Sometimes when things don't go right
And plans fall apart like all those little toys from China
I could get myself some coconut ice cream
But I don't, no I don't
I check my newsfeed and shared and shared with me yeah
(chorus)
The Rainbow Butterfly Unicorn Kitty
Nothing could be wrong cuz it looks so pretty
Rainbow Butterfly Unicorn Kitty
I just look at you
Just Look at you
(stop wait a minute)
When the bank accounts real low
Savin' ups a dream only Tony Robbins could sell n'
I may feel like a wage slave
But I don't, no I don't
I won't go occupy cuz I am so distracted by
(chorus)
The Rainbow Butterfly Unicorn Kitty
Nothin' could be wrong cuz it looks so pretty
Rainbow Butterfly Unicorn Kitty
I just look at you, just look at
The Rainbow Butterfly Unicorn Kitty
I hit the Like button cuz it's so niffty
Rainbow Butterfly Unicorn Kitty
I just look at you, just look at
OHHHHH
And the Rainforest gets cut down
OHHHHH
To make feed for live stock
OHHHHH
You say that that's impossible
Just go ask Monsanto
(chorus)
The Rainbow Butterfly Unicorn Kitty
Genetically modified in their laboratory
Rainbow Butterfly Unicorn Kitty
The problems solved cuz it's so niffty
The Rainbow Butterfly Unicorn Kitty
Nothings wrong man it's so pretty
The Rainbow Butterfly Unicorn Kitty
I just look at you yeah, just look at you

Vegan Cafe
02:42
|
|||
I just got up to smash my alarm clock
I used to sleep in but now not at all
When your life's like all the pieces of plastic
Laying in a pile right next to the wall
Then it's time to go some place hip
Where on the corner there's a Vegan Cafe
And if I asked you would you think and bite your lip
Or would you just grab my hand and say
(chorus)
Wooo ohh ohh ohh, wouldn't that be nice
We should go today
wooo ooh ohh ohh , it's a paradise
throw all my cares away
Vegan Cafe
The stereo plays Zappa and Phish
Coltrane and Monk, and Duran Duran
Jai and KD, Queen and the Dead
Luminaries and Blind Guardian
We could walk or just take our bikes
And meet all our friends
down at the Vegan Cafe
And everything on the menu
would be something we like
How about that for a change
(change)
Ohh It's much better than going to work my friend
And I'll be drinking Ginger Powershots
And I wont even have to tell them how there made
(First you juice the Ginger, then the Lemons, add the Cayenne)
(Chorus)
Woo ohh ohh ohh, It’s a paradise
We should go today
Woo ohh ohh ohh, It’s a cool as ice,
Throw all my cares away
Woo ohh ohh ohh, Wouldn’t that be nice
Just to get away
Woo ohh ohh ohh, Don’t you think twice
(Let’s GO!) Let’s Go today!!
Vegan Cafe
Ohh my, everything sounds so scrumptious
I think I’ll try one of those cup cakes

Cuz me and my baby know that Love is the solution.

Let’s start with that
And make a groovy song
About a little cat
Let’s start with that
Let’s Get a Cat
(chorus)
You fill the Dish

Let’s Get a Cat
(chorus)
You fill the Dish
I’ll let her get Fat
Let’s Get a Cat
(Bridge)
Don’t know much about Goldfish
Or why a caged bird sings
But I’m savin’ my money
So I can buy a ring
And Here in the Mean Time
Through thick and Thin
When she’s clawing at the door
I will let her in
(chorus)
You fill the Dish
I’ll let her get Fat
Let’s Get a Cat

These Things
02:49
|
|||
Used to have some guinea pigs but now they’re all gone
Used to have some chickens, they used to eat the lawn
my little red car, we could go real fast
one day the hood flew up and smashed the windshield glass
scared me half to death, I screamed just like a girl
but I made it home in one piece, now I share it with the world
(Chorus)
And it's alright. These Things happen some times
and its alright. As long as I can be with you tonight
when I wore braces they got stuck on every thing
when I wore a retainer it was kinda hard to sing
me and my friends, we were playing in the yard
my dad comes running over, he is breathing hard
there's been a lawn mower accident, your brother's lost a toe
so happy when I found it, I love my little bro!
(repeat chorus)
took care of a guy with violent tendencies
meds in his yogurt and wrist to waist restraints
many nights would come home, bites and bruises on my arms
but that's why teaching middle school is like a walk in the park (la la la la la)
used to have a dog named B-A-N-J-O (and banjo was his name-oh)
it's kinda hard to see the cars when your bounding through the snow
all of the adventures of my childhood
the scars tell my stories some are bad some are good
not really sure how I made it to today
but I sure miss the friends I've lost along the way.
(repeat chorus)

Cup of Tea
02:50
|
|||
Wrote you a letter using magnetic poetry
came out totally random
so I didn’t send it to you
Wrote you a song while watching documentaries
but it was all fat, sick, and nearly dead
so I didn’t sing to you
and the flowers didn’t make it
they just wilted and died
and the chocolate all melted
that doesn’t satisfy so
(Chorus)
Baby (Baby)
Let’s go for a Cup of Tea
Girl got me distracted
I think that kitty’s cute
I’d like to by myself a vowel
so I could hold “U”
Take this piece of paper
fold an origami newt
Inside I hide all the lines
I stumble on around you
If it was that easy
I wouldn’t be so tongue tied
maybe the way to your heart’s
the one thing I haven’t tried so
(Chorus)
Baby (Baby)
Let’s go for a Cup of Tea
Na na na na na .........
Why worry over the words
when they just get in the way
I’ll start the tea pot
Let’s have some Earl Grey
(Chorus)
Baby (Baby)
Let’s go for a Cup of Tea
(Na na na na na na na)

Vapor Proof Suit
03:04
|
|||
On an island of the undead,
I go for a walk in a vapor proof suit
I meet you and I shake your hand,
now my glove smells exactly like you
I turn around, fascinated zombie is
blocking my, pathetic rescue
(chorus)
and he's scratchin', aw clawin' yeah,
compromising my vapor proof suit
for my brains, they are hungry,
dinner wrapped in a vapor proof suit
Seemed like such a good idea at the time,
but now I'm such a sucker
nasty little hands grabbin, ripping off my juglar
and I, wish that I could run away,
but my, these boots are too damn heavy
(chorus)
and he's scratchin', aw clawin' yeah,
compromising my vapor proof suit
for my brains, they are hungry,
dinner wrapped in a vapor proof suit
Do you hear 'em comin'. Creepin' along the floor
No place to escape, No one lives here anymore
Lombie, Tombie, Bombie, Kombie, Abercrombie Fitch
Ooffie, Tooffie, Mooffie, Roofie, 9 in time saves stitch
Lazy, Hazy, Maisey, Daisey, lurching for my throat
Harry. Larry, Perry, Gary, climbing on the boat
Pocket Rocket, Lock it, Sock it, AK-47
Luger, Ruger, Mooger Fooger,
these amps go to Eleven
Blast the Undead out of here.(3x’s)
(Chorus)
and he's scratchin', aw clawin' yeah,
compromising my vapor proof suit
for my brains, they are hungry,
dinner wrapped in a vapor proof suit

This is the song for the power failure
Mr. CEO and the Weapons Tailor
The Masses beat down with invisible whips
Ground into Submission for Quarterly Profits
An Ozone layer with a growin' hole in
A War Zone with Drones Patrolin'
Warnin' - Global Warmin'
Future Stolen
(Bridge)
How do you calculate the costs?
Who benefits from another Species Lost?
(Chorus)
We all live down stream
One Earthling family
To live in peace is to live free
What I do to you, you do to me
and we all live down stream
There's only one sky and we're all beneath it
Only one water and we all drink it
Green or Red blood, we all bleed it
Give it back to the land cuz damn she needs it
When the last tree's down, will we regret it
The last fish is caught in the trawler's net, it's
When the land no longer grows
You'll see how far your money goes
We keep on drilling cuz we think there's no end
and we keep on killing cuz we think it defends
and the world keeps spinning round and round
and every single song is a sacred sound
So, listen to the birds, listen to the bees
listen to the grass and to the trees
your heart has a story to tell
sit quietly and listen well
(guitar solo)
Make time now for your consideration
Such the slaughter house down it's an abomination
How are we a peace lovin' nation
When we're droppin' bombs on all of creation

The Last Testament
05:48
|
|||
We know it began with....
Genetic Experiments on mosquitoes
to eradicate malaria that’s how the theory goes
Success reads all the headlines
Humanity triumphant while the bee population
declines, declines, declines
There’s no connection, no apparent connection
(Chorus)
Close your eyes and hold still
this pain is only temporary
it’s a small sacrifice
To protect your family
To save humanity
For the Greater Good
The malaria parasite disappears
All pollinators crash in the following years
genetic mutations effect their lives
corrupted DNA the colony dies
they die, they die
There’s no connection, no apparent connection
(Repeat Chorus)
Without our natural pollinators
food shortages began effecting every community
Hunger, starvation, and food riots spread like wild fire
A billion lives were lost in just a few months
In a race to save the food supply and restore global stability
an Artificial Pollinating Process was created
The Synthetic Pollen Derivative was crop dusted globally
by fleets of airplanes.
The resulting food, though stopped hunger and starvation
caused Sudden Aggression Syndrome. We just called it “The Bites”
We shut down all travel
We never found patient Zero
In a see of blood “The Serum” was created
instituted quarantine, enforced vaccination
When all is hopeless you do what you can to survive
You’ll submit to anything if it keeps your son or daughter
Alive, Alive, Alive
There’s no connection, no apparent connection
(Repeat Chorus)
