Lyrics - Self-Inflicted Aerial Nostalgia

Special Thanks to Mark Benedetti for figuring these out

The Future Is In Eggs

??Roses before sign??
This one pushed his weight
??Day the chain??
Dogs barking, the sign flashing
Come one and all to the execution
Shot shot bang go
??clothing?? to films we
??Die string to sadist??(I have no clue here)
And pirate's coffee
Computer ??the fat birds??
??Loafing on bringlers??
Floating on a leg
Pissing from a keg
The future is in eggs, the future is in eggs
Spying without ??chim??
Choking out a grin
??Splitting?? kids in cub scout suits
Are crushed by marching army boots
Their fearless leader on his back
??Cut?? from a cocaine heart attack
You knew we had to go
It's an ordinary show
The movie of the year
Stars realistic beer
Billy says something
??Act?? what is does
There's ??pervertically?? nothing
To help you and me
Here is my human machine
With incredible mileage
??Invective?? and clean
You kids aren't smiling, smiling,...
And all the coalition, no nutrition


The Great Blake St. Canoe Race

Jumping around
Thinking about our daily lives
Here on the ground
Falling apart before our eyes
News is not news
Learn something old every day
Issues repressed
Morning's we fake our minds away

Chorus:  Oh please don't misuse this information now
Oh try not to swallow too much pain, it's only order

Rushing through time
Following footsteps out of here
Signals ahead
Better repay your debts this year
I guess I'll go
On with my sad and troubled ways
Hands on my hips
Questioning each and every face
Chorus


Slopes Of Big Ugly

He found a clue
A lovely thing to do
So ram it down his throat
And by and by he will grow
He will grow
Shape me up, find me the way
The fire spreads around
Have mercy
I know
I live in this kingdom
Alive in this kingdom now


Paper Girl

Don't you call me up
To tell me that you're lonely
I won't make things up
To tell you that they're only for you
Cause that wouldn't make you feel any different about me
Without me
A message to the paper girl
Don't fall apart so easily
Don't cry too much you'll get all wet
And that don't make much sense to me you see
Cause that would mend my heart and I won't feel blue
That's not true
I need more but it's not like me to fuss
With the problems of us
When it's likely to be ??in this state with me??
But here I go again
And the paper girl's gonna blow away
And it's one game that I won't play for you
For you and me


Navigating Flood Regions

Spy ??shouting?? the crew let's string him up
Wise up to the captain where's my coffee cup
And it's been an adventurous day
The ship floats but it won't float away
Let's us stay
Don your favorite costume here we go
Belt a song if you're not real long and slow
And you doing a wonderful job
Shaping up with a competent mob
It's your job
It's as long as wide and just beginning
Been around for aeons just like me
Grab your money and let's go for all the winnings
Cast your soul into the jagged sea
It's the number on your head
Now you're dead
Stuff you down the barrel of a cannon
Let you see the world as something to see
Take you to the corners of the playground
Let you watch the traffic through the trees
It's the number on your head
Now you're dead
And we run as the war trumpet blows
And the judge with the list of no-shows


An Earful O' Wax

When you come around
I can still be found in another world
Pick a number or a name
It's my favorite game in another world

Chorus: Hey man what was that we said
I'm going deaf
I chase the widely open spaces
Built in my head

Can't make out what you say
Won't pretend to even care in another world
When it all gets bad
Everything turns off in another world

Chorus

And the shadow of the adversary's
??Filled?? and I shall play
Pass the plate and let us pray
Cause it's only a trick of the light

(liquidy vocals that I can't figure out)


White Whale

Come now Antoine give me your hand
I will fly you across the land
You were nobody
Now you're somebody
We will search for the dream of the king
And friends will hate us
And you will lead us
You can't change the plan when it's made
But we have changed it

Chorus:  Die for your freedom while you can
You can always use new blood

??Sing me Lila negation cow??
??Fish will follow with eyes man??
Hand on my shoulders
March with true soldiers
And in fact dear the flesh is no more
Was burnt for our savior
Offensive behavior
And the last whale will swim to the shore
And the new land of danger 

Chorus


Trampoline

The one in the jar at the foot of the bed
Get's weaker at heart but larger at head
Says I am the fool
Spat on and pushed aside
He gave something back just right before he died
The man with the hair on top of his ears
Drove past me at eight with a cooler of beer
Got high on the hunt in camoflage green
A drop of precious oil in the ??all darned?? machine
Way-o


Short On Posters

Good advice never took you to
The way it used to be
And if you can't stay long
Well then you better contact me
You're gonna be confronted by the eye of the storm
It's gonna sneak up behind and grab you by the horns
And on the day you were born
There was a push and shove
For the house of love
That was a long time ago
I think it's almost different you know, hey
On the street where we lived
In the land that we knew
You couldn't be so obsolete now
You have better things to do
I'm gonna ??ram my head on up and back??
I'm gonna lay down on a railroad track
I'm gonna find out where I'm comin' from
I'm gonna roll up like a big red thumb


Chief Barrel Belly

I get mad at this world
Sit up and scream about it
Every dog has its day
And now they dream about it

Chorus: He said love is the one thing
We needed in this world to be happy

Got a mouth full of teeth
Got to end this searchin'
I got down on my hairless knees
For a tax reduction

Chorus, repeat


Dying To Try This

Dying to try this
Now I decline
Too busy sketching a sublime
Picture of you
Wisdom and truth
Cigarette in one hand
And a beer in the other
Dying to try this
Now I know
Dying to try this
Now I know
Dying to try this
Now I decline
Now I decline


The Qualifying Remainder

??Callus his heel?? and long ago
A chance for you to ??soul train low??
??The poets of ears the fleshy goat??
??Can lurch souls within the snow a steel coat??
A melting snail
The kind of thing
That he once knew but
I don't see you
The way you see me
And I don't leave you
The way you try me
I leave it up to fine
And will ??buy?? mine
The last of ??line??
The asian bottle in the drawer
The asian bottle in the drawer
The qualifying
The qualifying, qualifying...


Liar's Tale

Let me tell you a story
Conclusive, based on fact
Long ago in the morning
She left did not come back
I don't really care anymore
I don't really care anymore
Change the days into nights
And you will know when the feeling is right
This tale is too long
The plot is weak and the characters wrong
I don't really care anymore
I don't really care anymore
But she changed my life
I thought she loved me
And I will pray for you
You'll see the truth
Cause that's how it's got to be
Oh oh oh yeah ooh
Let me tell you a story
About the way she was
Let me tell you a story
About the way she was


Radio Show

Radio show, radio show
Trust the wizard, here we go
Radio show, radio show
Trust the wizard, don't say no
It's another day today (or is it "to day" instead of "today"?)
It's another day today
Alone he's alive he's alone he's alive          This is not another fad
It's another day today
It's another day today
Radio show, radio show
Trust the wizard, here we got
Radio show, radio show
Trust the wizard, can't say no
It's another day today...


Hope these are good.  I was going to try Vampire On Titus, but it's just 
too muddy and distorted to figure much out.  Keep up the good work!
