The first breath of life's embrace
To the last time we exhale.
The first touch Is so profound.
The first sound is too loud
And the first steps that we take
A journey of the earth.
Our first words can't be understood
Our first smell is not that good.
CHORUS
For every first, there is a last,
And all that's in between.
For every first there is a last
Neither here nor there
The destination is unknown
The route we take is not guaranteed
Find the beauty in being alone
On the edge of uncertainty
(CHORUS)
The first breath of life's embrace
To the last time we exhale.
The last touch is by hand
We don't even know it's there.
The last steps that we take
Got us all the way to here.
Our last words will be remembered
But they won't be,
Won't be understood.
CHORUS

There’s whiskey flowing like a river,
But it can’t wash me away.
I need redemption, before it's too late.
I remember one year, it all went wrong.
A bad joke played on me.
Been chasing shadows ever since,
And Haven’t caught a thing.
My empty soul, it wants to leave
But, I’m chained to this place.

He takes the worn out tunes
The radio always plays
And flips them upside down.
Michael Jackson, and Madonna,
Coolio and nirvana.
Y’all sure weird Al done it this way?
Y’all sure weird Al done it this way?
40 years or so on the rocky road.
He lost on jeopardy
He’s gonna make you eat it,
And you’re gonna get fat.
Y’all sure weird Al done it this way?
Y’all sure weird Al done it this way?
Let's give a hand
To the polka man,
Making headline news.
Taking other people's songs
And changing all the words
Y’all sure weird Al done it this way?
Y’all sure weird Al done it this way?

Eternal Enigma
01:58
|
|||
|
What could I change what would i see?
A never ending mystery.
The choices i made
Would It Change my fate?
(CHORUS)
If I could turn back time.
If I could rewind.
Could i rewrite the pages, if i only knew.
It’s the eternal enigma, eternal enigma.
Is the road not taken
Better than the book?
And if it is,
Will it still lead to regret?
(Chorus)
What would I change
If I did see,
Another version of what's me?
And if it could make a difference,
would it still be the same?
(Chorus)

Bones
02:29
|
|||
|
People have shut their eyes,
And covered their ears.
Their words are empty,
And their minds are numb.
Fleshly desires and debauchery
They’ve barely escaped the error
Of their ways.
And the righteous are barely saved.
Jeremiah had barely finished his prayer.
The priests commanded that he be put to death.
The crowd had gathered, started throwing stones.
All that was left was his Bones.
Off in the distance, you could hear the cries.
Could barely distinguish the sounds.
There was so much noise,
One could barely think.
They tore off the robes
And sprinkled dust on his bones.

See Emma Lee Play
02:09
|
|||
|
I see Emma Lee stole the show.
Her talent was so great.
when she played guitar
She brought joy to all she could.
She’d say help me with the dough
And don't be gone too long.
The ball game’s on tonight.
Let’s go UK.
CHORUS
See Emma Lee play (4x)
She stole the show
She had a red hat for the race.
She grew roses, too.
Let’s see Emma Lee play
Aggravation with me.
CHORUS

I saw you standing there
Singing Elvis is Everywhere.
I felt in more love than in the pool hall.
But not as much as football.
(CHORUS)
Are You Listening to Mojo Nixon?
Are You Listening to Mojo Nixon?
If you’re Not listening to Mojo Nixon.
Then you need a fixin’.
I tied my pecker to my leg
Cause she’s vibrator dependent.
You only live once
So take those pants off.
I’m knocking up Debbie Gibson.
(CHORUS)
I look around, you know what i see?
A little bit of Mojo Nixon in each and
every one of you out there.
Mojo Nixon’s Everywhere!

I'm getting older and time's flying by.
My life was wasted and all I wanna do is die.
I want to end it all right now.
I'd hope for better, but, it would be a lie.
Everybody's wasted and wanting to die.
If they had the guts, they'd end it all right now.
(Chorus)
Every day is worse than the last.
My head is aching and so is my back.
I'm in a hurry to get to the grave
It's not a journey, it's a race.
I am out living all of my friends.
They found a ways and means to their end.
They wasted their lives and then they died.
(CHORUS)
We should just organize a mass suicide.
Take the wife and kids along for the ride.
There's plenty of room on that there bus.

Change, Death, and Taxes
02:08
|
|||
|
Here we go again,
With another change.
Another step in the process.
If it’s not broke, let’s fix it.
(CHORUS)
Cause change, death, and taxes
Are the only things that’s certain.
Change, death, and taxes
Are the only things that’s certain.
The world will keep on turning.
Staying on it’s course.
But, since we are not perfect,
We just keep adding more.

In a world where cables tangle,
I Processed files again today.
I’d pull out my hair,
If I had any.
The motherboard
crashed in the mainframe.
There’s no switch.
Access denied.
A malfunction
Of my code’s design.
Memory glitching
Access denied.

Backwards Messages
02:01
|
|||
|
I listen to my old tapes,
Trying to hear those backward satanic messages.
Broken many needles and scratched up my vinyls
Trying to hear those backward satanic messages.
It was the 80s, and metal ruled.
It made the parents and the baptists mad.
Those backward messages were just the ammo
Those people needed to cause a panic.
Like Dungeons and Dragons
Would make you crazy.
Using witchcraft and sorcery.
Those backward messages in the music.
And everything in the 80s
That was cool,
Would condemn your soul.

A Darker Side of Me
02:40
|
|||
|
The doubts I have about myself
Are chains I strain to break.
I’m caught up in a tug of war.
Don’t know which side to take.
Chorus
I’ve built walls without windows
For fear of what I’d see.
What lies in the shadows?
A darker side of me?
These eyes are blind my tongue is tied
Can’t see or speak the truth.
The weeds they overgrow my mind
Where logic can’t take root.
Chorus
There’s a tiger on the prowl.
No one else can see.
He stays hidden from your eyes.
Sees the world thru me.
Chorus

I Wish I Was an Animal

I wish I was a cat
You won't know where I'm at
I'd sneak around and then
I'd take you to the end
I wish I was a dog
But you won't string me along
'Cause I walk with no leash
I live my vida life for free
I wish I was a bird
And repeat every word
I'd tell you all again
I'll take you to the end
I say, I say again
I think I've reached the end

Guilty As Charged

I was zapped
You sizzle
I was trapped
Never fizzled
I was taken
Over the top
Once it started
I couldn't stop
Chorus
I'm guilty as charged
You keep me that way
You're electric and it's hard
To resist... to resist you
I was taken
I was zipped
I was captured
By your lips
I was kidnapped
I was fried
You keep me
So satisfied

A Prism Refraction
02:01
|
|||
|
They got themselves some green and a laser beam.
And seem to be amused by smallest things.
Shine that light right through the glass,
And watch those rainbow colors pass.
(Chorus)
Call it a prism refraction
Bending a ray light.
It looked like a pink floyd album.
The hippies were blowing their minds.
It’s a spectrum, it’s a ray,
That’s what scientists say.
A kaleidoscope with
Which the hippies the play.
(Chorus)

I'm gonna take a leap year of Faith
The day after yesterday.
I'm gonna take a leap year of Faith
It seems legit to me.
I'm gonna take a leap year of Faith
It's going to make me holy again.
(CHORUS)
I'm gonna build a temple,
It's gonna set you free.
We're going to head South East,
and Leap Year into the sea.
I'm gonna take a leap year of Faith
Assure the things not hoped for.
I'm gonna take a leap year of Faith
Convict the things that are unseen.
I'm gonna take a leap year of Faith,
Even if the outcome's unknown
(CHORUS)

The Grand Finale
01:18
|
|||
|
The room grows cold, drops to an icy chill.
No one will believe me, no one ever will.
A single light up on that stage that shouldn’t even work.
Creaking floors and whispers can be heard.
Nobody is around
And hasn’t been in years.
Everything around me confirms
The rumors and the fear.
A sudden burst of movement
Opens glowing eyes.
To perform the grand finale
One more time.
