Carefully constructed
...and observed
You waited with
Baited breath
All eyes on you
Whatcha gonna do?
The space you demanded
Wish granted
Tip the can
And strike a match
You're burning down those bridges
You're never looking back
Oh I left a fox to guard the hen house
Cunning paved the path for your ceaseless wrath
Your day has come, you're on the run
A plan set in motion
...and carried out
With such precision
Your decision
You play the martyr
Perhaps a little too well
When you come crying
I know that you're lying
Tip the can
And strike a match
You're burning down those bridges
You're never looking back
Oh I left a fox to guard the hen house
Cunning paved the path for your ceaseless wrath
Your day has come, you're on the run
Despite your defense
No coincidence
Please don't deny
That you've hit the bullseye
Tables have turned
Will you ever learn?
I am not a chapter
In your ongoing novel
Tip the can
And strike a match
You're burning down those bridges
You're never looking back
Oh I left a fox to guard the hen house
Cunning paved the path for your ceaseless wrath
Your day has come, you're on the run
Good luck to you in your future endeavors
See little fox? Now who's clever?
Oh I left a fox to guard the hen house
Tip the can
And strike a match
You're burning down those bridges
You're never looking back

Dinosaurs roam...Creation
With Fred Flintstone...Creation
Saddle that beast...Creation
Ride him home...Dominion
Reason has no place to guide the human race
Feel it in your guts though others say you’re nuts
Where’s the "facts"...only theory
Forget consensus...unanimity
This "science" stuff is just a scam
Heed the call...Creation
Rain will fall...Creation
Build an ark...Creation
An amusement park...just for fun
Reason has no place to guide the human race
Feel it in your guts though others say you’re nuts
Where’s the "facts"...only theory
Forget consensus...unanimity
This "science" stuff is just a scam
It’s all just a scam
It’s all just a scam
Perpetrated like Vietnam
It’s all just a scam
The earth is getting hotter...Creation
Won’t vaccinate my daughter...Creation
Abandon prevention...Creation
For holy protection...Damnation
Reason has no place to guide the human race
Feel it in your guts though others say you’re nuts
Where’s the "facts"...only theory
Forget consensus...unanimity
This "science" stuff is just a scam

Worlds Apart

Hello, how are you?
Hello, how are you?
Worlds apart and not a thing has changed
Satellites rebuilt to new heights of fame
Desperation in the distance
Lost the vision in the mission
A victim of circumstance
Yet the memories remain
I think it’s funny
I think it’s funny how things are still the same
We live
We learn
We turn
As we yearn
It hurts
For a while
I still
See you smile
We’ve gone in so many directions
A distorted phone connection
The clock ticks with no regard
You’ve let down your guard
The landscape seems so serene
We all change but not what we mean
I think it’s funny
I think it’s funny how things remain the same
We live
We learn
We turn
As we yearn
It hurts
For a while
I still
See you smile
I don’t want to relive the past
I just want this to last
Don’t shed another tear
Worlds apart
You’re still here
I miss you
It’s been way too damn long
We live
We learn
We turn
As we yearn
It hurts
For a while
I still
See you smile
I see you smile
And not a single thing has changed
I think it’s funny how things are still the same

Try it on just for size
Breathe in, breathe out
I want to feel the way
All the lovers feel
Take it all in
Devise your plan
Forge the moment
Vicious are minds, oooh they trick
Turning your dreams into madness
For all time
Break it down, brute force or tied
Fumble toward the inside
Enjoy the rush, intoxicate
Never full of this foolish game
Knock it down, bring it back again
Take it all in, tour all lands
Free your mind to soar unplanned
Precious are minds, oooh they fade
All of the important things
Will they stay?
Vicious delicious
Vicious delicious
Vicious delicious
Vicious delicious
Vicious delicious
Vicious delicious
Take it all in, tour all lands
Free your mind to soar unplanned
Precious are minds, oooh they fade
All of the important things
Will they stay?
Vicious delicious
Vicious delicious
Vicious delicious
Vicious delicious
Vicious delicious
Vicious delicious
Take it, don't waste it
Take it, don't waste it
Take it, don't waste it

Sisyphus
03:34

Take my time, never on my side
Too many rules, try to let it slide
Never idle hands, give the devil his due
Lose essential me, just accidental you
Push through the day
Just like Sisyphus
Day after day
Sisyphus
Another crucial task, immediate concern
Certain obligations, nowhere to turn
Sword above my head, hands neatly tied
Pour salt on a slug, just to watch us writhe
Push through the day
Just like Sisyphus
Day after day
Just like Sisyphus
I won’t be annoyed
Cleverly avoid
Being burdened by your chores
Choose to spend the time
What’s yours won't be mine
Closing your open doors
Climb becomes a race
Enjoyment on my face
As I ride the downhill run
Carving out the hours
Where I have the power
You can't tell me what is fun
Sisyphus...Sisyphus
Sisyphus...Sisyphus
Sisyphus...Sisyphus
Stop rolling that rock for you
Rolling that rock for you
Stop rolling that rock for you
Rolling that rock for you
I just wanna stop
I just wanna stop
And ride that downhill run
And ride that downhill run
I just wanna stop
I just wanna stop
And ride that downhill run
And ride that downhill run
Sisyphus...Sisyphus
Sisyphus...Sisyphus
Sisyphus...Sisyphus
Stop rolling that rock for you
Rolling that rock for you
Stop rolling that rock for you
Rolling that rock for you
I just wanna stop
I am gonna stop

Francine couldn’t take it
Living with the split
I knew you
A new you
Suffering from doubt
Sometimes in, others out
Francine
Francine
You didn’t need
To be straight with me
Walking out on me
To the other league
I knew you
A new you
I never thought she’d quit
She would not switch hit
Francine
Francine
You’re caught between
Them and me
Never thought she lied
But now she’s switching sides
I knew you
A new you
It can’t be what it seems
Playing for both teams
Francine
Francine
You didn’t need
To be straight with me
Francine
Francine
You’re caught between
Them and me

But his dreams were crushed when his parents sold him to a Greek shipping tycoon for a handful of magic beans and a Dead Kennedys CD. And they all lived happily ever after.... ... more
