Lyrics by Mike Cook

When I was young
I didn't ride the bus
Momma's got a 
Blue Cutlass

On the way to school
She tried to race this guy
And the engine
Just blew up in her face

You are not small 
You're not petite
You're not as small as your pants
At night he says that you fall
You take it all and have ball

"Operator Malfunction"
From the CD "Recorduroy"
Year 2001

Music by Cloister
Lyrics by Dana Smith

Think your first thought
Is always best
Everything you think
Doesn't have to be
Expressed
Unless
It's just a guess

Maybe try to enjoy
Yourself a little more
Stop making everything
Seem like such a bore
And what more
Could you complain for

Instead of making everyone
Adapt to you
Adapting to them
Maybe the thing
You might do
Then you
May learn something
New

"Drunk"
From the CD "Recorduroy"

Music by Cloister
Lyrics by Mike Cook and Dana Smith

Out of the trees
And into the streets
I'm a slow car
I'm in my car now
I'm in my car now
And I can't go no where
I'm at my job now
I'm at my job now
Going up and down the stairs
I'm in my car now
Back in my car now

When I get home 
I'm gonna to buy me 
A big fat bottle of wine
Take it back to my place
And drink it all myself
And if I end up getting drunk
Off that bottle of wine
Well that's just fine
I don't have anything better to do anyway

Out of the blue
Without a clue
Making all kinds of sense
I'm in Tetris
I'm in Gameboy
Trying to make this fit
I'm in my car now
I'm in my car now
And I can't go nowhere
I'm at my job now
I'm at my job now
Going up and down the stairs

When I get home 
I'm gonna to buy me 
A big fat bottle of wine
Take it back to my place
And drink it all myself
And if I end up getting drunk
Off that bottle of wine
Well that's just fine
I don't have anything better to do anyway

"Goodbye"
From the CD "Sketches"
Year 2002

Music by Cloister
Lyrics by Dana Smith

I have seen the writing on the wall
I have seen the writing on the wall
And I have read what it said
Or maybe I'm just outta my head
We'll just have to wait and see for sure

We're going to leave you
We'll be back when there's more time
I wish you could go too
There's just too much for you to do

Goodbye

"Keep It To Yourself" 
From the CD "Sketches"
Year 2002
Music by Cloister 
Lyrics by Dana Smith
Keep it to yourself 
Cause I don't want to know 
What you think 
Who you like 
Or where you go 
As if someone 
Really cares 
About the things you do 
Just keep it to yourself 
And I will too
La La La La La La La La La
Have you seen the scene 
There's nothing to see 
except for you 
And maybe me 
There's nothing else to see
La La La La La La La La La

"Go To College"
From the CD "Sketches"
Year 2002

Music by Cloister
Lyrics by Mike Cook

Around here we buy all
Of our appliances from
Wal-Mart and Sears
The malls and the Targets

Go to college
Get a dipolma
Work your whole life
At jobs you don't even like
And lie

Or make more
A couple more
Just like you
In the process

Go to church
Every Easter
And every Sunday
Have a picnic

The women are wearing
White Reeboks

And when you tell your family
That you are expecting
Number two
They will be 
So damn proud of you

They'll be happy

The women are wearing
White Reeboks

Around here we buy all
Of our appliances from
Wal-Mart and Sears
The malls and the Targets
The children are crazy
The children are crazy
Don't be alarmed
We will not harm you
It's only lighting
Teenage Lighting
Tired days are hardly doing nothing
Sing into an empty living room

Go To College

"Illusions of Culture"

Year 2002

Music by Cloister
Lyrics by Dana Smith

When my time comes I"ll be happy to go
And I don't care where I just don't wan to know
The culture creates what you and I think
The culture creates what you and I think
Free your mind from the culture
Free your mind from the culture
See through illusions of the culture
See through illusions of the culture
The fabric of time is unraveling
The fabric of time is unraveling

"Orange Juice"
From the CD "Blue Tile Rock"
Year 2003

Music by Cloister
Lyrics by Dana Smith

I am nullified by the Blue Tile Rock
I am lost following a numb bat roadblock
Nuclear acid will kill the stomach faster
Than pepperoni pizza
Consumed by vegetables
Grown by pill poppers

Orange Juice
Is no substitute
For dead roaches
Left on the ramp

The wax seed will create heaven on concrete
Sloppy sausage will bubble on a two dollar print
There's no more room for me in the pod
But plenty in the tent

Orange Juice
Is no substitute
For dead roaches
Left on the ramp

"Backwards Town"
From the CD "Blue Tile Rock"
Year 2003

Music by Cloister
Lyrics by Dana Smith

Now your time is coming
And your head it aches
Cut off living 
Is your first mistake

Have you heard about the next big thing
It's a backwards sound for a backwards town

When you're on your break
And you are feeling cool
You're nothing but a
Small time fool

Have you heard about the next big thing
It's a backwards sound for a backwards town


Backwards Town

"My Window"
From the CD "Blue Tile Rock"
Year 2003

Music by Cloister
Lyrics by Mike Cook

Brand new living room
Sitting still while the sun shines through
My Window
Feels so slow

Gotta place by the ocean
Sleeping underneath the city tonight

I'll take your drumset
And your snowboard
Don't forget
Dylan's Greatest Hits
Volume 3
The one with
"Tangled Up In Blue"

All I know is
This is not the end
Maybe some day
I'll catch up with you
And be there now
Be there now

Sleepy feeling
In the morning
Watching shows I
Hate on TV
Eggs on the bottom
Bags on the carport
While you are
All alone
Do it by yourself
Do it by yourself
