I got some mandrake root I got some spider's ear / I spent my last galleon on butter beer / It was Hagrid once that said it well / We're going down to Hogsmeade to raise some hell / Do the Harry Potter Stomp

Do the Harry Potter Stomp

We start at zero / come out the other side / we'll keep whats bona fide / and let the rest go / for such a small one / it's quite the heavy load / that weight is yours to hold / we'll all be there though / You say the days of wine and roses come and gone / how long (how long) we pine for their return

You Say the Days of Wine and Roses Come and Gone

Riding around with my socks rolled down on my barracuda / I'm a slimy loser / but I got friends here with me / Caught up a tree but my friend Slim and me he a paratrooper / he throw a loop-the-loop / it floats up so gracefully / we'll shoot you down / Out on a limb here with my friend Jim he throw a paper gilder / always around never let you down / yeah he'll be here for me / I won't be one without my pellet gun I'm a lazy rider / they call me boy genius

Boy Genius

And when the light peeks in I'll find a certain hue / colors fall into my still life in the key of orange and blue / when I get to Amsterdam I'll paint a song or two / When I get to Amsterdam I'll paint my point of view

When I get to Amsterdam

Theme from Laverne and Shirley

They told you I should leave / but by then we were thick as thieves / we will always be the stars of our show / They told us we should stay / but by then we were miles away / we will always know the time to hit the road

By Then We Were Thick As Thieves

Like a chemist mixing up explosives / I go Lightly / I need a new reaction / chase all my blues away / I feel like I'm in traction / shut down anyway 

As I set my feet on terra firma / I go lightly / I need a new distraction / lift me from solid ground / show me a new attraction / with a better sound

As I Set My Feet on Terra Firma

Never mind how you thought things should have been / The world still turning around and around / that's not on the list of things that you let down / you hear the bells still ringing / sun come up the birds they'll still be singing loud / some are only there to put in the rearview mirror / when you're Milwaukee bound

When You're Milwaukee Bound

Hate is like a typhoon / Typhoon / Is all a typhoon wants to be / Hate is like a typhoon / Inside of me


Inspired by 'Blue Eye Samurai'

Hate is Like a Typhoon

We hear the song of daylight, coming soon

Tonight the Things we Stole Are for Rock and Roll

If we had sharp claws and teeth
If a bed we hide underneath
are we not monsters?

It's Cool to Not Care About Things

You call your shot, give what you got with your feet on the ground.
They will not think that it would be your head to wear the crown,
Until your time comes around.

Until Your Time Comes Around

All that I can do is live my life the best that I can
Like an ordinary man
I get up with the sun, it shines down on me
I stay up with the moon, while I can
I got blessed with the life of an ordinary man

The Life of an Ordinary Man

And when you shut your eye / do you see black or is it white / are there things in the dark / that don't show up in the light / do you wonder why / we only dream in white and black / I forget which colors go with this / and which with that / so if we couldn't see / the Harmony of orange on top of green / then we could color in the lines / or the spaces in between

The Harmony of Orange on Top of Green

Sometimes I can't even try / I got the sun in my eye / don't let me fall from the sky / I'm climbing up then I turn / Until my wings start to burn / Never should have gone up so high

Don't Let Me Fall From the Sky Now Baby Yeah

They did their best / they fucked it up / they drink their honey from a paper cup / they kicked him around until I got up / they had no plan / they will not take / to be employed / they smoke some funny kind of circuloid / they flung themselves headlong / into the void / they have no plan / they thought they had this nailed from the time before / until they burned their eyes out / won't look into the sun anymore

They Flung Themselves Headlong, Into the Void

Cheap Trick Tribute - Come On, Come On

Yeah, you're counting me out / Don't count me out / Come on baby twist and shout / Yeah, you're boxing me in / Don't box me in / The distance is paper thin / Someday I'll be a matador / I'll twirl my cape / I'll stomp on the floor / The crowd will cry and beg for more / to see it all again

Someday I'll be a Matador

On that warm June day in '44 / She hung the cherry blossoms on the door / I fly so high and low / Nowhere to go when the rain come down / And I sit right next to me

The Absurdly Lucky Flight of Y

All of it is right there, in one verse and a chorus.
