THE THE EMPTY
the stars are getting in and out of automobiles
and we keep wondering when we're gonna feel something real
keep waiting for a santa that'll never come
a real party but not just people who're faking fun
but everything gets erased before its even said
and all that glitters isn't gold when inside it's dead
all that glitters is not gold
all that glitters is not gold
all that glitters is not gold
all that glitters is not gold
i went to yr concert and i didn't feel anything
i went to yr concert and i didn't hear anything
i went to yr concert and i didn't feel anything
i went to yr concert and i didn't see anything
(oh baby)why wont you talk to me?
(oh baby)you just want me empty!
(oh baby)you don't say anything!
(oh baby)why wont you answer me?
all that glitters is not gold (ANSWER ME!)....
i sat through yr movie but i didn't see anything
i went to yr comedy club and didn't laugh at all
i went to yr movie and i didn't hear anything
i went to yr concert and there was nothing going on
(oh baby)why wont you talk to me?
(oh baby)you don't say anything
(oh baby)why don't you talk to me?
(oh baby)you don't say ANYTHING!
you don't say, you don't say
you don't say anything...
PHANTA

horizon's clear
(DAY ONE)
no vegetation
blips on my screen
whatever was here
has been disappeared
now here's alright

(DAY TWO)
wait tower
radar's going off
i see a small creature
who can barely walk
my data says "large"
but what i see is small
text reads "big danger"
but this just looks tired
now here's alright
now here's alright
(DAY THREE)
come in tower
all our data's wrong
research inconsistent
we misread it all
there was no monster
and whats left is near dead
control killed a phantom
frum inside their heads
nowheres alright
nowheres alright
nowheres alright

EAU D' BEDROOM DANCING

professor you and you and you
or we could fly
demystified
or we could please you
all night
i wanna spread my dementia
i wanna knock it off the line
give me attention
every day and every night

no crap or attitude
just wanna get electric tonight

or we could or we could
or we could or we could
or we could or we could
or we could or we could
fail. fail. fail. so?

FRIENDSHIP STATION
the phone keeps ringing and it just won't stop
there's a paper napkin in my coffee pot
people freakin out on me left and right
my head feels heavy but my feet feel light
the clock keeps ticking inside my head
bad news is all i ever get
the check i've been waiting for is not on time
everyone around me wants to start another fight
i'm gonna let it be alright

LES AND RAY
FROM THE DESK OF... MR. LADY EP
GET OFF THE INTERNET
it feels so 80's
or early 90's
to be political
where are my friends?
get off the internet!
(i'll meet you in the street)
get off the internet!
(destroy the right wing)
x2
this is repetitive
but nothing has changed
am i crazy?
where are my friends?
BANG! BANG!
murder is murder
why're they confused?
another man dead
i read it in the news
who gave them the fucking right
to run around like they own the night?
oh bang! bang!
oh oh bang! bang!
oh oh bang! bang!
oh oh bang! bang!
wrong fucking time
wrong fucking place
there is no fucking way
this is not about race
whos gonna call 911
when they cant tell a wallet
from a mother fucking gun?
[chorus]
bang bang daddy i want you dead
bang bang daddy get out of my head
bang bang daddy i want you dead
bring me Giuliani's head
[chorus]
YR CRITIQUE
yr critique is super ficial
but yr hatred's like the rain
we could agree to disagree, you know
but i gotta catch my train
so, go-go, go-go, go-go
good luck!
so, go-go, go-go, go-go
W.I.A!*
i think you're pretty smart
but you act like such a jerk, I
cant stand yr fake rebellion
misdirected and anti-art
[chorus]
so over it (now!) x4
*well intentioned asshole
MEDIOCRITY RULES
so you wanna hang out w/ me tonight?
well
you're cool, but im right so
ill set the dial to "no fights."
and as we leave the club,
and the sun is coming up, you ask,
"have i failed to entertain?"
i say no man, its ok.
cuz i already knew
that when im with you
mediocrity rules, man
mediocrity rules.
life is but a compromise
and i can see it in yr eyes that
nothing scares you like a real idea.
but no man, its ok
you didnt waste my day
[chorus]
yabba dabba dabba doo, man
yabba dabba dabba doo.
yabba dabba dabba doo, man
yabba dabba dabba doo.
