i know something you don’t know
i’m not telling you what it is
if you knew it would foil the plot
of knowing something that you do not
i think you know a thing or three
but you know even less than me
i know something you don’t know
there’s a reason this is so
maybe you know but you won’t let on
but if that’s the case then why are you going around
acting like you never heard it before?
i know something you don’t know
and i’ll take it with me when i go
back to the source where all knowledge springs forth
and when i get there i will tell everyone what i know
but i won’t tell you, no i won’t tell you
that will be my eternal revenge.
i won’t tell you what i know
i won’t tell you what i know
i know something you don’t know!
i know something you don’t know and i’m not telling!
i won’t tell you what it is!
i won’t tell you what it is!
i won’t tell you what it is!

Racist Girl

racist girl - overhead
racist girl - in my bed
racist girl
i'll change my face in any case to get inside your head
racist girl - empty breast
racist girl - she's the best
racist girl
where does the hate come from?
i'll be straight
to understand the world
you have to know the girls
to understand the boys
you have to know
their dicks are scared of loud noise
racist girl - with no face
racist girl - leave no trace
racist girl - i wanna know
where does the hate come from
i'll be straight with you
you racist girl
cause i'm the same as you
i'll be straight with you
you racist girl
cause i'm the same race as you

Polyelefuntman
02:15
|
|||
i renew my script and i give him one big hand
and a whole lotta piss for the polyelefantman
and he asked me “son, do you wanna be a little government man
or a big fat fuck with the polyelafuntman?”
with a slicked back
brick and a moody cutscene and an automatic
piece on his hip with a pound of cocaine and he
makes that sound when he’s walking down the street.
well i fell out of luck with traditional big plan
but i made my peace with the polyelephntman
and i miss my wife and my kids but they’ll never understand
why a joke like me is a gonna do what he can
take the jet a party awaits
the party is raging constantly
runway babes afoot and aflame for legal cocaine in
🇺🇸 USA 🇺🇸 AMERICA FOREVER 🇺🇸
("give me a kiss and touch my cock")
i’d really like to see her with her head chopped off
i renew my script and i give him one big hand
and a whole lotta piss for the poliyellowfontman

I Can't Read
02:33
|
|||
i can't read. lately it's becoming a problem.
lately it's becoming an issue
i can't read. lately i'm becoming a burden
on other people who read to me
such a big world would open up to me
i just wish someone would teach me how to read
cause i can't read
i can't read: instructions for a piece of equipment
or the end user license agreement
i can't read: novels full of romance and intrigue
or the recipe for my favor'ite treat
so many things are just beyond my reach
if i could read then i would truly be free
but i can't read

The Red Room
02:43
|
|||
stepping on a million skulls, for you
as i wander through the evening, scared to death and barely breathing
thinking of your sweet devotion sets my tiny legs in motion
drifting through a moonless night
in my fantasy we’re there
in your red-lit pied-à-terre
our two ghostly figures share
all those colors in your hair
sleeping on a bed of nails, for you
you think i’m the sort of fellow wouldn’t ask to take a photo
put it in my gallery and you might get a salary
find you in the dead of night

Head's On Straight
04:05
|
|||
what if i was an accident’s passenger?
what if i fell into the cement mixer?
what if i wasn’t doing enough for her?
what if she asked me and i could not answer?
would it really matter?
and if i call will you still pick up the phone
even though no one picks it up anymore
what if i told you something to make you groan
what if i told you i don’t want to be alone another night
and with my hands on your hips and your hands on my head and my head’s on straight
your hands on my hips and my hands on your head and my head’s on straight
my hands on your hips and your head in my hands
and we hand over everything when we dance
and if i took you out of the one-horse town
and bought another horse to show you around
would you believe in all of the sights and sounds
would you corroborate what i’m seeing now
from the New England beaches
all across the mountain range
we may face harsher seasons
nothing will ever change
[with your head in my hands and my head’s on straight]
hands on your hips and your head on my head’s on straight
[yr hands on my hips and your hands on your head’s on straight]
[my] hands on your head and my head in your hands
when we dance like we’re falling in love again

New
02:16
|

new, started on cue
this time it's true, couldn't fake 'em
new, out of the blue
lookin' at you when i make 'em
and i know you've been waiting for it
but you won't even like it a bit
cuz the sounds are all wrong, probably cuz they're
new, into the blue
you didn't think they would come down
new, no deja vu
all those old tunes can be thrown out
and i know you don't like 'em a bit
but there's never a chance for a hit
cuz the radio's shit and they won't play nothin'
new

Great Poem in the Sky
02:30
|
|||
great poem in the sky, i can’t put a tune to your words
they don’t go down so easy, they can’t come thru in free verse
great poem in the sky, you taught me all the harmonies
you taught me how to sing them, and how to stay in tune
so why haven’t i listened to you
my melodies are nice but they’re not true
and why haven’t i memorized the song
my life is short, the piece is very long
great poem in the sky, i try to understand you
but each interpretation just obscures
great poem in the sky, my little artist’s ego
might never find the truth behind the words
so why haven’t i listened to you
my melodies are beautiful but they’re not true
and why haven’t i memorized the song
i’m probably afraid i’ll get it wrong
my life is short, the poem is very long

Femoral Artery
02:11
|
|||
someone’s standing on my knee
my femoral artery
splinters like a dying tree
you see
someone’s standing on my head
serrated edge that’s meant for bread
tears right through my jugular vein
the pain
curse their path a thousand years
seven generation’s tears
god is on nobody’s side
when will you die

Cooperberg
01:23

cooperberg demands to work
like a simian exposed to bigger rhythms than he knows
in the episode where we all hit the road
he’ll be dreaming of the part where they go
on the phone, where the women make you wait
found a job, and i was scared to masturbate
but i did it anyway and now i’m
back to work, could i be a bigger jerk
to the people on the phone, they’re angrier when i’m alone
can you dream of it, when you finally quit
it’s amazing what they do when they go
on the phone, where the woman makes you wait
she was in the garden throwing everything away
and i’ll fuck her any day

Reach the Cloud
02:59
|
|||
can the boat reach the cloud
i saw faces back from the crowd
asked them what they came for
they didn’t know they’d answered
i feel as i do now
wondering what it’s all about
in the age of free doubt
i pay the piper
when we walk from the bow
will we look back into the crowd
tell them what they came for
they deserve an answer
i feel like i know now
when i ask what it’s all about
comes to me in dreams now
i know the answer
i know the answer

as i wander in the maze
of a high fructose haze
with water on the brain
i’m totally insane
and i know, in my ego i know
that the voice is the fault of my thinking
and my thoughts are the source of my suffering
and i think that the beatles were on to something
as i struggle in the grasp
of an industry collapsed
and the only songs i know
are the themes to TV shows
well i don’t wanna play anymore
wasting time, wasting gas, i just want to record
for my friends (yeah) and for anyone who would listen
and it’s clear that the beatles were on to something
from the tonic to the 4th
to the 7th and the 5th
then i do it all again
but this time there’s a twist
pivot keys, the open secret
but it’s so smooth that you don’t even notice it
and you’re caught in the grip of my genius
and i guess that the beatles were on to something
