In this track I sing the lyrics to "The Whole Damn Thing" by Those Darlins over Nine Inch Nails "Closer". Is it a Mash-Up? Is it a Remix? I donno. There's also a fun YouTube video for it. (go look!) http://youtu.be/0I-RYEWyd9g

Whole Damn Thing NIN Closer REMIX

Turn The Wheel

The sky is high
The fire is bright
The tide rolls by
The Earth's alive

Every moment a breath to steal
Every heart knows the fire is real
Every move flows from how you feel
Everything has to turn the wheel

The sky is high
The fire is bright
The tide rolls by
The Earth's alive

Every moment a breath you steal
Every heart knows the fire is real
Every move flows from how you feel
Everything has to turn the wheel

Turn The Wheel

The Scene

Check Is In The Mail

Maybe the check is in the mail

Maybe the check is in the mail
So carry on as if you just can't fail
The jury's out, they set no bail
And now the whole thing's going off the rail

Maybe the check is in the mail

It's really no vacation when it feels the same as work
The train has left the station but you stand there like a jerk
It's always been fixed pricing yet you haggle with the clerk
And you wonder why your attitude drives everyone berserk

Maybe the check is in the mail

The truth is known throughout the land
From sand to sand but it's been canned
Because they've got your fears in hand
And know just how they're grown

The theory is you'll take the bait
You'll fill your plate not contemplate
And once you've loaded up on hate
They'll have you for their own

Maybe the check is in the mail

Maybe the check is in the mail
So carry on as if you just can't fail
The jury's out, they set no bail
And now the whole thing's going off the rail

Maybe the check is in the mail

Check Is In The Mail

Helpline Operator

All Caught Up

Always know just where to find you
In the darkness that surrounds you
You're the only light to shine through
You're only lost if you decide to

Get all caught up in all the things that caught you up
Get down and out because you're down and out of luck
Get on the skids because you did the things you did
You've gotta know it's you that chooses all of this

Never know where life will take you
But you walk the path you choose to
Your the only light to guide you
Through a world that's going to try to get you to

Get all caught up in all the things that caught you up
Get down and out because you're down and out of luck
Get on the skids because you did the things you did
You've gotta know it's you who chooses how to live

Get all caught up in all the things that caught you up
Get down and out because you're down and out of luck
Get on the skids because you did the things you did
You've gotta know it's you that chooses all of this

Get all caught up in all the things that caught you up
Get down and out because you're down and out of luck
Get on the skids because you did the things you did
You've gotta know it's you who chooses how to live

All Caught Up

Barn Dog Blues

Something sure smells funny
Are the creatures near
Nose is cold and runny
Bugs flew in my ear
Can I go chase something
Or should I stay here
I hear something coming
Time to scare some dear
Go inside and lay down
Take a snooze
Maybe chase away them
Barn dog blues

Use What You Got

Getting so high
Getting so hot
Starting to sweat
Out on the rocks
Looking above
Looking below
That's all it takes
You ought to know

Want what you have use what you got, use what you got
Want what you have, use what you got

Breathe it in
Burn it down, burn it down
Stop to swim
And plant 'em firmly in the ground

Want what you have use what you got, use what you got
Want what you have, use what you got

High in the clouds
Baked by the sun
Drink in the sound
You don't have to run

Want what you have use what you got, use what you got
Want what you have, use what you got

Use What You Got

Dub Selector

"So, in Zen, a duality between higher self and lower self is not made,
because, the true self, you either know it, or you don't. If you do know it, then you know it's the only one, and the other, so called lower self, just ceases to be a problem." Alan Watts

Who is the man
That gets you in the grove
When he's on the move

Who is the man
Always on the scene
You know what I mean

Who is the man
When the time is right
He's just out of sight

Who is the man
He's all over town
He'll never let you down

He's not the lawnmower man
Not the demolition man
Not the man who fell to Earth
Not the man with the iron fists
Not the man from nowhere
Not the man who sold the world
Not the man from uncle
Not the man who can't be moved

 He's the Dub Selector 

"Very few people today really believe in God, in the old sense, they say they do, but they really hope there is a God, they don't really have faith in God. They fervently wish that there was one, and feel that they ought to believe that there is, but the idea of the universe being ruled by that marvelous old gentleman is no longer plausible." Alan Watts

Who is the man
Everybody wins
When he starts to spin

Who is the man
Lets the needle drop
He's never gonna stop

Who is the man 

He's not the lawnmower man
Not the demolition man
Not the man who fell to Earth
Not the man with the iron fists
Not the man from nowhere
Not the man who sold the world
Not the man from uncle
Not the man who can't be moved

The Dub Selector can be found
Anywhere the grass is green
Anywhere the sky is blue
Anywhere the fire burns
Anywhere the water flows
Anywhere the sun is bright
Anywhere the moon will glow
Anywhere's alright, ya know

"The real deep deep self, that which you really are, fundamentally and forever, is the whole of being. All that there is. The works. That's you." Alan Watts

He's not the lawnmower man
Not the demolition man
Not the man who fell to Earth
Not the man with the iron fists
Not the man from nowhere
Not the man who sold the world
Not the man from uncle
Not the man who can't be moved

The Dub Selector can be found
Anywhere the grass is green
Anywhere the sky is blue
Anywhere the fire burns
Anywhere the water flows
Anywhere the sun is bright
Anywhere the moon will glow

Cruisin' And Groovin'

What's your hurry, Hell ain't half full, so I hear
Sit right down, relax, have a beer
Don't you worry, you have nothing to fear
Pretty soon, it will all become clear

Cruisin' and Groovin' 

Cruisin' and groovin', that's the way to roll
Riding in low gear, just going with the flow
People get uptight because they can't agree
I just have to laugh, that makes no sense to me

I just have to laugh at it all 

In no hurry to reach a final destination
Try not to worry too much about the situation
Just stay grounded with a solid foundation
Too bad we couldn't be more like that as a nation.

I just have to laugh at it all - Ha Ha Ha Ha (4x)

Cruisin' and Groovin'

Get It Together

"Of course, I'm not just going to sit back and let it happen, and I know that people watching this, people listening to this, feel the same way. But we're gonna have to get it together and get it together pretty damn quick, because they're already ten miles down the road." Michael Moore

There really isn't time for you to measure
Whether or not it gives you pleasure
Life should be something that we treasure
Why can't we get it together?

Why can't we get it together? 

"Gotta get it together" Beastie Boys
"Get It together" Bob Hope
"Get it together" Jackson Five
"Together" The Beatles
"Get It together" Beastie Boys
"Get It together" Bob Hope
"Get it together" Jackson Five
"One Two Oh My God" Beastie Boys
"Yeah yeah, tell me about it." Steve Buscemi

It may be light as a feather
Or heavy metal studded leather
Maybe it depends upon the weather
Why can't we get it together

Why can't we get it together? 

Yeah Yeah, tell me about it

There really are no politics to tether
And failure could send someone to the nether
Still some people think that it's all blether
Why can't we get it together

Why can't we get it together? 

"Gotta get it together" Beastie Boys
"Get It together" Bob Hope
"Get it together" Jackson Five
"Right Now" The Beatles
"Gotta get It together" Beastie Boys
"Get It together" Michael Moore
"Get it together"Beastie Boys
"Get It together" Bob Hope
"Get it together" Jackson Five
"One Two Oh My God" Beastie Boys
"Yeah yeah, good observation." Steve Buscemi
