Back Bay The Hard Way
Ed plays the bass (HEY)
Ed plays the bass in covered in bees
Oh Yeah! (HEY)
Doug plays guitar (HEY)
Doug plays guitar in covered in bees
Oh Yeah! (HEY)
Tristan plays the drums (HEY)
Tristan plays the drums in covered in bees
Oh Yeah! (HEY)
I scream and yell (HEY)
I scream and yell in covered in bees
Oh Yeah! (HEY)
You sing along (HEY)
You sing along in covered in bees
Oh Yeah! (HEY)

The Black Grimace
From lowest wage a loathsome tale
Of Burgers, Fries, and Holy Grails
A greasy black phantasm stirs
Between two worlds, in forms then blurs
In spoiled milk and forgotten lore
Quoth the Grimace "Nevermore!"
On halls unkept and halls unclean
It's moans drowned out by cash machines
But in the night you might hear it's calls
In quiet stockrooms and bathroom stalls
In swinging lamp and creaking door
Quoth the Grimace "Nevermore!"
Through filth and foul and meal of worms
Through special sauces thick with germs
His vileness seeps into your pours
His wretched girth will soon be yours
In stomach muscles clenched and sore
Quoth the Grimace "Nevermore!"
So listen well naive petites
In search of quick and easy treats
Think twice before you cram your maws
You too may be in the snapping jaws
Of an evil beast, fat and forlorn
Quoth the Grimace "Nevermore!"
He's the Black Grimace
Hands in a grim fist
Eyes red and lidless
Void of all forgiveness
Behold his fatness
Reel at his blackness
You're on his shitlist
Hail the Black Grimace!

God Damn The Queen
One legged man dooms with his left foot
His red hairs now white
Looking back the coast disappears
Eyes closed skip a stone
We left on Friday, the day of Christ
Barrels and bags all turned black
The Cormorant calls the Cracken
The Cracken!
The Cracken!
Church bell's ring clear out to sea
Singing glass St. Elmo's Fire
Dolphins no longer fill the sea
Ships bells ring from the D.O.W.
Where only sharks dare
Feather of a wren and baby's caul
The Cormorant calls the Cracken
The Cracken!
The Cracken!
To the Fiddler's Green
God damn the queen
Neptune is jealous that I look so good
Throw the mop overboard
Repair the flag on the quarterdeck
Throw the priest overboard
Tonight we dine on gull and albatross
Wear his clothes now eat his soul
The Cormorant calls the Cracken
God damn the queen
Yo Ho, Yo Ho, Yo Ho
Yo Ho, Yo Ho, Yo Ho

I Quit!!!
I Quit! I'm sick of this
I Quit! I'm always pissed
I Quit!
I Quit! I do everything
I Quit! I do do everything
I Quit!
Take this job and shove it
Marry it if you love it
I Quit! I'm sick of this
I Quit! I'm always pissed
I Quit!
I Quit! wabbity dew
I Quit! and fuck you
I Quit!

I Reject The Ill Conceived Notion That Symmetry Equals Beauty
I have never been to Los Angeles
I cannot draw a map for you
Is it wrong to pray for pestilence?
Is it wrong… to pray… for torture?
I had a gardener visit me
All he needed was a phone
He never care for Los Angeles
That's probably why... he went… back to his home
I don't remember that portrait
Oscar Wilde and an older man
Is it wrong to pray for the darkness?
Is it wrong… to pray… for the words to say
I have never seen the pyramids
Robot eyes and a cure for aids
Is it wrong to pray to Los Angeles?
Is it wrong … to pray… for you to stay

Live Lobsers And Dead Babies (Sharks!!)
Sharks!
Fucking!
Rule!
Your life preserver is made of hamburger.
What were you thinking? Why aren't you sinking?
Bit in the head. The water turns red

Pterodactyl Sex-Face Blues
Wubba wubba wubba wow!
Like Saint Anthony I too am plagued by acts of demons
Like the nervous dead in a perpetually state of screaming
A riddle in a wooden box, a box rusted shut by its tin hinges
Its almost eight, can't be late, gotta pick up my date
Why don't you dance with me tonight?
Baby, it will be alright.
Why don't you dance with me tonight?
Go – Go – Go
I see you're scared too death clutching onto your borrowed purse
Like a cold war scarab between the rock and Tutankhamen's curse
I promise I won't loose my head and act like a lesser man
Just promise me we can leave after one fast and one slow song
Why don't you dance with me tonight?
Baby, it will be alright.
Why don't you dance with me tonight?
Go – Go – Go
We can't undo what's been done; baby please don't run
I'll pin you now, just get in the car, everything is o.k.
That was a lie; I am part animal I am part machine
I know it is like waking up inside someone else's dream (a nightmare!)
Why don't you dance with me tonight?
Baby, it will be alright.
Why don't you dance with me tonight?
Go – Go – Go

Swampboy
On my last birthday I was cleaning out the attic
There found a trunk and it said to my son
I know you are full of uncertainty and your only now 18
Here is my crown of snakes and my sword covered with gold flakes
I am the Swamp boy living with no swamp joy
Never know what we could have had growing up without a dad
You can call me crazy I'm in love with spider lady
The sword that shows no pity is on its way to hand gun city
It turns of that he died in a nuclear experiment
He was trying to breed himself with a serpent
He would pull a volcano from the bottom of the sea
He did it all for his family
I am the Swamp boy living with no swamp joy
Never know what we could have had growing up without a dad
You can call me crazy I'm in love with spider lady
I have to do the best I can to become the new swamp man
Every bedtime time story needs a bad guy
Every sharp stick needs a kids eye
Every black toe nail needs to be ripped off
Every plagues starts with just one cough
I am the Swampboy living with no swamp joy
Never know what we could have had growing up without a dad
You can call me crazy I'm in love with spider lady
I'm the fear you can't destroy I am the swamp boy
