Please don't run from us
We are not to here to harm, they said.
Please just have a seat
We've been so lonely out here, they said.
Please don't mind the claws
What of your Bombs and guns, they said
They said

Should we not be the ones in fear?
Well, we're not casting judgment.
No, we're not casting judgment

Once again, you sir, have assumed the worst
Once again, you sir, have assumed the worst
We, the animal community are not surprised
Once again, you sir, have assumed the worst
Once again, you sir, have assumed the worst

Guess I'll take a seat
Did not mean to offend, that's what I said.
It seem that thing have been misconstrued
Is it possible that I came off rude?
I've just been taught to fear what I don't understand.
It seem that thing have been misconstrued
Is it possible that I came off rude?
I've just been taught to fear what I don't understand.

The Bears asked me to dinner
They had me over, didn't have me for.

Once again, you sir, have assumed the worst
Once again, you sir, have assumed the worst
We, the animal community believe our eyes

Once again, your colors show
?Words are what? Your mouth is for

But, still you run in fear.
Well, we're not casting judgment.
No, we're not casting judgment.

Once again, you sir, have assumed the worst
Once again, you sir, have assumed the worst

Once again, your colors show
?Words are what? Your mouth is for

Lyrics to The northwestern bearitories b) Kid Cancer :
I can't be remembered as a great adventurer.
Make a mark, or make a stain.
But take it for what it is.
Nothing gets to me like mediocrity.

Shedding(?) the stage to be on my way
But there's a mean little bastard living inside of me
An abscess, some kind of growth.
My God, that sounds so gross.

They call me kid cancer, and now I know why
Invite me to dinner, sing now I'm inside.

If I can't be a hero, I'll be a plague
Charmed up you bears now, they're all dead, they're all dead

So make a mark, or make a stain, and take it for what it is.
I'm made of goo, and needles, too. I'll take it all.

Shedding(?) the stage, I've been carried away
Like a kid in a candy store, pockets full of razorblades
Sticking gum in sister's hair, or in the back of my pants
They call me kid cancer, I call myself me.
For once it's a name, there's always one stage, the pages of history

If these fingers were knives, the things I'd believe
Oh, you'll paint a desert with the things you will say.
I'd bet these lips will get admired, with praise ?
Like any great performer, wanting nothing but fame.

Shedding(?) the stage, but I got fucking outplayed!
And the demon advanced with a hidden agenda: Me
??????, I guess it's been a while
They call me kid cancer, the beast calls me son
I haven't yet decided, it isn't sure, is this fun?

Lyrics to Something Beautiful :
I turned that mans first born to sand
In fact, that's how you have that castle
That you dreamed of, that you wanted
I am here to fix everything.

I took your toothy grin, and left a patch of skin.
I took her batting lashes, changed them from blonde to ashes.
I took the boy with the giant head, and I made his body smaller and his neck too thin.
I took that tongue of that annoying neighbor child, yes, I split it down the middle, let it bleed there for a while.

You are so small, she said...
You are so small.

Hey, while you were out there serving wine
I was up here in the balcony, turning faces white, I said
Hey, while you were out there kissing babies
I was luring kids with lollypops, and now they're pushing daisies.

You are so small.

You will not be heard from for a long time
You will not be found with your rightful hands or eyes
When your mother finds you, you won't believe her cries
Wish the child gone missing had been the child who died.

Hey, you, I can be a miracle man too
Hey, you, I can change everything.
Hey, you, I can be a miracle man too
Hey, you, I can fix everyone.

I turned that mans trophy wife to brass
He'd barely notice a difference.
I taught him she served us no fucking purpose.
I am here to fix everyone.

"Goddamn," you might say.
"Quite the talent," I'd say.

Temper, temper.
Patience, patience.

Don't change me into...

You will not be heard from for a long time
I will be around because, fear will never die
And if they should find you, it'd be a sight to see.
A mass of flesh and muscle, a pile of pulp and teeth.

I am finally a kingdom.
Make use of all the skills that you once told me I had
Took a town of some brains, but mostly fat, and turned them to something beautiful.

Lyrics to Sayer of the law :
Keep your tongue in your mouth
Though I know you need to say ??
If your words get out
They will surely destroy.
Miss, are you spoken for? Because I'd like to speak at you
Miss, are you spoken for?

What have you seen?
Well, I try to pretend.
Using only my stories
And all lies of man ??
Keep you tongue in your mouth
Though I know you need to say ??
But if your words get out
They will surely destroy

Let's try this another time, ??
I wasn't thinking clearly. ??

I wandered off the path one day
Great watcher turned, and I ran away.
I lost myself amongst some trees
Birds and lizards pay no mind to me.
Sat atop the mushroom grove
I drank the tea of forest folk
I did not mind that I sat alone
Until a Hoping toad approached

He spoke of things you'd not believe
He whispered truths that tickled me
I lost myself in fairytales
But, truth be told, these tales were real
The toad and I, we shared a smoke
I lit my ears as for hours he spoke
Bestowed his knowledge upon me
The women he'd known, the places he'd seen

Everyone was tripping, the whole world was dancing
And I thought, I thought...
Maybe I was tripping, the animals were singing
And I thought, I thought...
I knew this song, I knew this song...
I knew this song.

And it's finally making sense now.

I found a way to attain the lies of man ??
Make that a way... to destroy everything.

Keep your tongue in your mouth.
Is that too much to ask of you?

I sat for hours as he spoke,
Asked him why he came a toad.
He said he'd always been this way
He was not disguised, just for today.

In the forest, we're up 'til dawn.
I licked his back and finally saw
So many colors I'd never seen
The here and now, the in between.

He's not how I thought he was
But I like her much better as.
It's not like I thought it was
But I feel that I've been despised.
It's not like I thought it was
but I like it much better as.
It's not like I thought it was
but I feel that I've been despised.

Lyrics to People Will Read Again :
Peter robbed the steaks
a tounge for battle
C say came to play?
then ran for cover
I dont know just arrived home
Soup is on the table
grilled cheese and cambells
fuel the troops for fighting
i burned my tounge but, show no sign of pain or fear

To much rain to fight today, ohhhhnooooo.
Skinned up knees and grassy strains, ohhhhnooooo.
but we got ground to stand today and we wont stay in doors.

Chupacabra on the wing
now come back down sir
Bently cleared his plate
and then cleared Toto's
put my faith in bare and ?? talk

you can hide but i smell it
stinking wet fur, you don't seem to mind it.
you can hide but they'll find you
my team of black birds
you can hide but they'll find you
They'll see you tilt behind the bush



?????
?????

Shallow Breathing

????
????

and if we take this battle to the water
you'll be stripped of skin by dancing otters
do you feel that slim between your toes
the screeching eels are singing, yayayayayayayayayaya
They'll pull you down and poke your eyes, till we damn

To much rain to fight today, ohhhhnooooo
Skinned up knees and grassy strains, ohhhhnooooo
but we got ground to stand today and we wont stay in doors for anyone

Little lumps of earth under their nails
Little pink round boys that smell like moss
Escaping out the door before she could
Protect their noses from the frost
Little fingers on the trigger
Little minds right on the cus
On pointing guns at one another
Tree trimmers starting at the trunk

I took the neighbors dogs
we set our course for north
My comrad took his ??? bastard bid, of course
born on the blackest ?scout? he and i took the lead
we pressed forward in the night

We were using hands as gun, They pulled their fingers back like they had bows.
They grabbed their chest like they'd been shot, we chucked crabapple forth like they were bombs.

We were using hands as gun, They pulled their fingers back like they had bows.
They grabbed their chest like they'd been shot, we chucked crabapple forth like they were bombs.

and through the neighbors lawns
Over the miles of villages
we tear up flowers
melting satless in their filthy beds
?straps were mess of birds?
my skin a swollen grey
I patch his wounds up with my shirt
and scrap the mud away

(we just arrived over the hill, ?????)

We point and shoot never ask why.

?tree fingers and trigger fingers alike?
you both agree
THIS IS A WAR!
(THIS IS A WAR!)

I'll be the dirt solider
caught up in the grey war

I'll be the dirt solider
sent onto


To much rain to fight today, ohhhhnooooo
Skinned up knees and grassy strains, ohhhhnooooo
but we got ground to stand today and we wont stay in doors




To much rain to fight today, ohhhhnooooo
Skinned up knees and grassy strains, ohhhhnooooo
but we got ground to stand today and we wont stay in doors for anyone.

Lyrics to Megaloblastic Madness :
she cant be well...shes got the look of pots left out.
strange left over
browns and greens seeping from her lids in streams
oh no!
this cant be
right...shes been leaking from her pores all night.
off white and yellow and
in between like a kettle hot about to steam
and i grow quite confused
with
out a map or drawn instructions whats a man to do?
she is just a mess
some
thing you might find growing off of something you would never
touch without
some goggles and a mask
dr shes not looking well.quite frankly sir she looks
like hell
i must confess, im no doctor and id like to wash my hands of this

entire mess

oh this virus!
how cute it likes us!
its sweet and it gets
inside us!
we move just like it wants us to we swell and stink and pulse and
ooze

i bet this makes sense to the physicist
to me its a whole lot of
nonsense
x's and y's and the whole lack there of
me and mr science are about
to square off
and engage in an old fashioned bout of fisticuffs

if we must
talk of science and human life,ill pose my queries say
what i know and sir
well both be up all night
so:
cant make sex with out a chemistry set
if it
has seven ears it might be inbred
relations between man and beast are strictly
forbidden!
im only hearing from 5 ears but it seems to make sense
cant make
love if its not in proper time
if it has 5 legs well then its not one of
mine
relations between mind and body just cause the eyes to strain
trying to
make sense of signs that point to lasting pain
you cant fight biology

she
tries to get up from her bed
the sheets are sticking to her skin and we cant
tell her that shes
turning iinto something new ,an unclassified new breed of
goo.
she looks like hell and we want to help but will not touch.
her closest
friends they loose their lunch and we cant help her we
cant help her
now

oh this virus!
how cute!it likes us! its sweet and it gets inside
us!
we move just like it wants us to.we swell and stink and pulse and
ooze.
makes sense to a physicist
and to a biologist
not to a comic book
enthusiast
makes sense to a scientist and to an alchemist
not to a
scientologist
makes sense to a scientist
but i get none of this
im getting
none of this...

Lyrics to Lost at Sea :
This is not a test!
This is not a test!
You are really dying friend.
Bet it feels like a panic attack but!
This is not a test!
This is not a test!
It may be lucid and it may be wet.
You're really dying. Can you feel it yet?
Keep your hands inside the vehicle at all times.
For if you don't I'm going to rip them right off.
Not because I have to or because you're misbehaving.
I just know how bad you need to get off
...Oh, and one other thing...
I absolutely hate that sweater and your life is our reality T.V.
You were put here to entertain, so get up and entertain me!

PANIC YOU SICK SON OF A BITCH!
SQUIRM YOU LITTLE WEASEL
CAUSE I'M PAYING FOR THIS AND I WANT MY 20 DOLLARS WORTH.

You're a sad and lonely character now aren't you boy?
Adrift in the middle of a wet dream.
Unwilling participant lost at sea.
You think you had it bad...
Well now it's worsening.
spaghetti arms for oars!
dropping anchor just to find some whores!
Your bed a sad and lonely vessel,
your sheets a mess of veins and kelp...

This is not a test.
(It's really not you lonely simpleton)
I salute your panic attack.
One small step for man.
I take it back.
I salute your panic attack.
One small step for man.
No shame in that.
I salute your panic attack.
Pathetic jelly fish you spineless hack.
I salute your spinal collapse.
Are there any bones inside that back?

Lyrics to Eclipsical :
She sleeps with the planets. I know because I've seen it.
I sleep next to science, wishing it were her.
We were once a product of conservative America
She slept around, and left this town, went looking for her sign.
She flirts with the moons, and lets them think they have her
My cheeks are rosy-red, I try to make her laugh... but...
When she was young, she saw a film
Then packed her bags and marked a date
The time has come, 2001, she's on her own space odyssey
I'm no cosmonaut, oh, I...
Tried to make her to a woman ??, What did you think
But she's set herself free
She's not equipped for black holes, and I just want her in my arms.
I'm not equipped for long-term.

She's been here, I smell her, she's like the wind before the rain.
Naked, she'd tell me only stars know what she's really thinking
She's in the arms of Jupiter, get back, this moon's a trip for her
The feeling's gone, she's swears, the stars have taken her from me.
And I...
Tried to make her to a woman ??, What did you think
But she's set herself free
She's not equipped for black holes, and I just want her in my arms.
I'm not equipped for long term, and I just want...

I found my old sketches of flying facts, with brown paper wings, and fur.
She slipped out the back door and left me, so I learned to fly.
Years fly by, it's such a view. Skin dries up, eyes go, too.

Despite what they say, I should leave it alone.
The milky way traveler, well, he's seen it all.
I took long enough to find a love at the time
The lonely star traveler could never go home...

I'm no cosmonaut.

And I don't know anymore...
There's little mean bugs in my veins.
Can I stick to you, my love?
'Cause I'll stick to anyone.

I'm in love with everyone...
But timing's placed hums in my ears(??)
I wake up stuck to someone
I wake up in other years

Does anyone believe in time, and do you feel the years went fine?
'Cause I do.
Does anyone believe in age, and do you see my skin rip up?
'Cause I do.
Does anyone believe in love, 'cause I've been afraid to face with it, and I don't.
Does anyone believe in God? And do you feel the force of hell?
'Cause I do.
Maybe I've just done it all. It's really fucking hot in here.

So I sit in the streets of time and wait.
And I try to convince myself that I am not to blame.
She swims with, and sleeps every ??? she sees.

Such is life, and such is me.

I'm asleep all the God damn time.
I can't believe any of this is real.
It's inevitable, it's all in my head
My mind is melting.
Melting, stretching, tearing ??

Lyrics to A Man of Science :
so calculated, the words that come. ah!
but the glorious shine of a polished
tongue.
have you been up practicing all night long?
your mouth forms chords
and arpeggiates.
it sounds so sweet but then nauseates.
have you been up
sweating this all night long?
at the crack of dawn your up again to show the
world just where you stand

you dressed in your good suit today.
polished
your shoes for such an occasion...
pressed your shirt and slicked your
hair
straightened that tie now get out there!get out there!

the tile is
burning through your rubber soles
the sweat is beading and forming tiny
pools
youve been pacing and youre scaring the shit out of your kids
theres
white building up in the corners of your mouth
the neighbor kids are laughing
and pointing at your house
your wifes ashamed. she's pulling all the blinds.
you'd think you'd get the picture after time after time after time.
your roof
is slowly growing weak sagging stretching like your speech...

oh my science!

hes on the roof again!
citing scripture and throwing up his hands

they
said "i dont think hes coming down"

"does he think hes conducting some great
orchestra? cause hes waving his hands and i cant help singing:

oh my
science! hes on the roof again!citing scripture and throwing up his hands.dear
science hes on the roof again!citing scripture and
throwing up his
hands."

hes not missing a beat hitting every note
not discouraged by their
laughter
hes not missing a beat hitting every note
not discouraged by sharp
fingers
you dressed in your good suit today
polished your shoes oh what a
waste
pressed your shirt and slicked your hair
and all you got were empty
stares...
