I broke my back
while I was
bending over backward
to abide you
I broke my back when
you were there

I broke my back on
your industry
and I broke my back for your
comfort and immunity
unknowingly
and I unknowingly allowed you to
take my freedom and my conciousness away
for a nickel

and I willingly
bent over backwards to abide you
and I willingly
went out of my way to comfort you
when all you'd do
was blow me away

in your obnoxiousness
you allowed yourself to become
a monster
and then in your zeal to overcome that
you became
someone who
can only blame

Broke My Back

I'm hungry
and not drunk
I'm starving and
wanting nicotine and
beer
my god can't you see
I'm starving here?
in my luxury of inaction
I deteriorate
due to erosion
due to erosion
and wind-blown skies
but there's stuff all around
that I can still believe in
there's even love
if I take the time to look at it enough
there's a thousand things that I need to do
there's a thousand things that I need to get to
aren't these bad times for you?
as we relax in our lap of luxury
the world starves
as we get
fat and consume
the world burns
oh no
it's not you
no
it's somebody else
that's the problem
for sure
I'd suggest you blame me
afterall I'm here
and talkin shit about it
and gettin up your rancor
and gettin up your hide
just to piss you off
thank you and good day
sir

Hungry

the evil lawnmower
it hurt me
the evil lawnmower
brought me down
the evil lawnmower
turned my wrists into rubber
the evil lawnmower
it attacked my dignity
that evil lawnmower
it wanted to mow me down
the evil lawnmower
it consumed me
the evil lawnmower
struck a deal with the devil
and tried to bring me down
the evil lawnmower
it escaped happenstance
and came at me on all fours
screaming
blowing mulch and hissing
the evil lawnmower
it attacked my sense of sensibilty
and humility and pride and 
mowed me down
the evil lawnmower
it turned my wrists into rubber
and I couldn't even play a chord
the evil lawnmower
it brought me down
the evil lawnmower
slew me

Evil Lawnmower

it's the kind of thing
you might remember later
it's a kind of thing
you might look back on
later and try to piece it out
it's a kind of thing
you might look back on later
and try to put it all together
it's a kind of thing
you might remember later
and try to piece it out
and put it all back together
it's a kind of thing
you might have to look back on later
and try to piece it out
and put it all back together
it's a kind of thing
you might not understand now
and you'll need to look back on it later
and try to piece it out
and put it all back together
one piece at a time
maybe not trusting the memory fully
it's a kind of thing
you might look back on later
and not trust your feelings about it
it's a kind of thing
you might look back on a little different
a little later

laser focused
on track
on top of it
clearly engaged
suffering at the hands
of corporate america
stealing your dignity
and you've got nowhere
to run tonight
your rent's due
you've got no groceries
no gas money
no friends
and it seems
everybody else
is walkin around
with quite a surplus
and don't you know
it's not polite to ask
where their money comes from
and don't you know
it's not polite to
inquire about their income
maybe you just
shouldn't ask them
about what they make

Income

yeah half of makin out is
showin up

an acceptable state

and that's how you get by
making out means waking up
getting by growing up
making it through
the windy days
showing up getting by
being not too high
making out showing up
getting by
getting through
making something new
beginning here
showing up getting by
making out making up
getting by

Makin Out

they bring a fire
that's hard to see
from the stroke of noon
to half past three

they bring a fire

that's hard to see

from the stroke of noon
to half past three

circumpolar apogee
circumpolar orbit
it's a circumpolar orbit
rendering
infared images of
the side that's voilet green
circumpolar

dead reckoning
are these really just things that rhyme?
or did I visit there one time
long ago
far away?

Circumpolar Orbit

I'm endeavoring
to abide by your edict exclusively
I'm endeavoring to believe in your vision
but unfortunately I'm
coming up dry
dry and desiccated
on a desert of doubt and disbelief
blinded by disillusion

yeah
I'm endeavoring to abide by
your edict exclusively
I'm believing here in you here
for the moment
I'm believing here in you here
and you know it

I'm endeavoring to abide by your edict exclusively
believing in your vision
even though when it comes to believing
I'm almost coming up dry
desiccated deserted on the desert
with no strawberries

and you'd believe there would be
certain amenities
of course
but well
it's just
beyond our control
and I'm endeavoring to abide by your edict exclusively
I'm endeavoring to believe in your vision
but coming up dry
and desiccated disbelieving on a desert
of
death {mumble} and...
doubt {mumble} and...
{mumble}

Deserted On The Desert with No Strawberries

and I was
going westward
in a hurry
yeah
I was going westward
with the wind
blowing then
almost bending time
then
and the moon then
was spectacular
and the moon then
shined
down
and the moon then
shined

And The Moon Then

crashing through the bollards
they're crashing through the bollards
buckling madly under the weight of arrogance and disappointment
busting through busting through the bollards
yeah busting through the bollards recklessly
abandoning sanity
briefly
letting go of everything
necessarily
busting through the bollards
blasting by them

Busting Bollards

and I mean it most affectionately when I say
that you're a big fat tasty treat of deliciousness
yeah, you're a big fat tasty treat of deliciousness

you're a big tasty treat of deliciousness
and I intend to pull the table closer to my plate
and I intend to be capable of eating this while in a lake

yeah, you're a big fat tasty treat of deliciousness that
I need to taste

Big Fat Creepy Love Song

dropping down
on the landing
dropping down
landing gracefully

dropping down
onto the landing
landing gracefully
going down there deliberately

dropping down
onto the landing
I fell gracefully toward
the landing

dropping down
to the landing
landing gracefully
going down then deliberately

falling in
falling down into
nothing but grandeur

falling into grandeur

dropping down
onto the landing
landing rather gracefully

falling all in deliberately

Landing Down

*Exclusively single take, simple two track recordings with a few filters but nearly no edits. No overdubs.  True "captures" of one dude performing.  From my brain to yours.*   I make funny songs for fun and because I can:  Atypical, entertaining satire, sarcasm and tragedy played on guitar, banjo and ukulele.   To me, this is mostly about what happened while the song got recorded.  One dude in his basement with one instrument.  Thanks for listening.
