1. datsun-camero (3:15)

i don't wanna see the sun tomorrow
i don't wanna ride in your datsun-camero

kimmy d and an electric snack machine
i called fifty-three times to your machine
left a mile of chromium on your machine
fifty-three times
maybe if you'd known my name
you wouldn't mind

i was so sure
of the future of my sutchures

i don't wanna see the sun
i don't wanna see the sun tomorrow
i don't wanna ride in your datsun-camero



3. dying high wind (1:10)

i'm relaxin'
usin' my napkin
carvin' a pumpkin
lookin' for somethin'

pushbutton babysittin'
dipswitch daycare
c'mon mama
don't put me up in there

your carton of squares
your clean underwear
good god i swear
the shorts come with a tear

so your car is flyin'
down the dyin' high wind
so i'll backseat drive us
back to the hive

but remember this guy
reluctant to buy
his feet in the sky
or a doctor wearin' a tie-dye



5. revisiting pong
(see star version)
(3:23)

ah see star
a a a circle a
m i r c
mercy me
pardon me
triple circle a
see star

2. yellow bluebird (2:57)

dear brother drop me off
at the yellow bus station
with some stolen merlot
and a thirst for her
your honda leaves a trail of dust
and so begins my grand high theft

my baby thinks a little
is just one word
it's a thing to bear
and i'll bear for sure
her hair's bleached on the edge
of disintegration's verge
there's one less way now
to be so all but pure

didn't mean to cause a stir
at the door to your gore
i tore more and more and more
didn't mean to crash the conference
of the keebler elves
who live with us inside of this
small town joke
it happened at a summer party
kind of in front of her folks

so now i slide away and i pray
she don't shave her hair away
like she did one early day

off at a u starting anew
offers of a different game
this finest nerd
this yellow bluebird
this bus driver's daughter
i slaughtered like noneother



4. cableknit ii (2:04)

first day on the job
here comes joe slob
walk me down the hall
do you like shop in malls

must have ended there
the end of the stares
they caught one of us
to get a big thrill from the bust

two minutes in an oven
craigslist missed connections
i nearly go atomic
like stan i almost vomit

on the bench at noon
wearing a bloody hue
the flash of baby blues
singin' a croon some awful tune

weeping at the border
picking at the mortar
down by the river
forgot what made me quiver
