Everything that we do is a Risk

Los Angeles, why do people love you? You're a pox with nothing to contribute You're only earthquakes and wildfires You offer nothing that I desire The sunset strip will not be missed, go float off into the sea Your laid back style leaves no one beguiled, we don't need your celebrities You suck the souls from your own folks, devouring their dreams I was in you for a day and I can safely say that you are hell me

I'm going to the store today to get some things And if you've seen my gut, you know what I mean I'm buying ice cream I'm buying candy I'll go the 7-11 right across the street To get an Arnold Palmer whenever I'm thirsty I'm buying pizza I'm buying soda I'm going on a fat man's errand One look in my cart, and it's apparent This won't get me through the week, but hopefully through the night I can't wait to go home and take my first bite I'll go and spend fifty bucks on the dollar menu Then I'll go and get dessert from somewhere else too I'm buying cookies I'm buying brownies I'm going on a fat man's errand One look in my cart, and it's apparent This won't get me through the week, but hopefully through the night I can't wait to go home and take my first bite I'm so much fatter than I was last night I can tell that something's not right Oh no, here comes the indegestion I can't believe I did this to myself again

I tried so desperately To finish my pot of coffee, But I didn't think of the consequences. The last cup sat all day, Too guilty to throw it away. Now I'll heat it in the microwave after dinner. Not used to the caffeine So long after the morning. My heat beat is quickening, Now it's after midnight. Sleep would have been nice, but I've got to pay the price For my desire not to waste this excess coffee made in haste. I guess I'll just lay awake now and nap tomorrow.

Why use our hands to fight, when we can use them to build? All our childhood dreams will be fulfilled by Battle, Battlebots. There's only one way to settle our dispute, as you know, To build robots to fight on the TV show. Battle, Battlebots. You think you got me beat, but you don't. Come near and I'll reveal my secret catapult. I've got Hatori Hanzo swords for arms. The mutilation won't end until the final alarm. Launch an acidic nuke, infest your house with mold. Send the IRS after you, infect you with the common cold. Battle, Battlebots My robot will breath fire, melt yours down to tin, I'll flip you the bird after I win. Battle, Battlebots.

Oh, Lydia Deetz, Those things you saw weren't people Underneath the sheets. The paranormal is real, And I know just how you feel. My life is a dark room, too, And no one understands, Except for you. Oh Lydia, Oh Wednesday, One day you will see, life can have beauty But if you don't believe, continue to grieve I can't stop you. Oh, Wednesday Addams, You wait for the day every girl becomes .....Homocidal And ask if God is real. Electrocute your bother Listen to him squeal. But I think you already know, So be careful where you aim that crossbow
8.
Self-deprecation is my most sincere form of flattery. I will dismiss every instance of cool things that happened to me. Some people like it, I guess, but it's own no consequence. Their words won't make me believe.

Do you ever get the feeling That you have been repeating The same day over and over...?

Thanx! to: Joe, for literally everything; Caleb, for lending us his organ; Paige, for her print work and artistry; anyone who has booked us in the last year; Wendy's, for killing us slowly while fueling our riffs; and, most importantly, the 90s. We miss you.
