Hi, Monolith! 01:54
lyrics
(The monolith) Deep deep deep in the forest Tendrils all around Something’s in there waiting Waiting to be found Standing tall and proudly A mountainous creation But when all is quiet, you can’t deny It’s a musical sensation Night falls to a hush Lurking in the underbrush Here come creatures from far off reaches Doing things, they dance and sing Hi, Monolith! We all heard your song Hi, Monolith! We want to sing along Oh, hi monolith! What stories will you tell Your lovely glow will help us know And we will treat you well We will treat you well

Flying Machine 03:57
lyrics
Hey guys guess what I just bought Hey y'all guess what I just got Something crazy you won’t believe I got myself a flying machine How much did it cost? A hundred billion dollars But it’s money well spent, that’s what I say Oh yeah I’ll fly to my favorite restaurant And order some burgers for the whole squad I’ll do so many wonderful things With my brand new flying machine Oh my god I honestly can’t wait Oh yeah Flying machine Oh yeah I can’t wait to fly in my flying machine Hey guys guess where I am right now I’m hovering over Bangladesh I’m having such a wonderful time Having a flying machine is the best I wonder what happens when I press This button that says time machine Holy crap I’m in 1963 I want to fly to the moon That’s just something I wanna do It’s gonna be cool, wait and see I love my flying machine Oh yeah Flying machine Oh yeah I can’t wait to fly in my flying machine Oh no, watch out Here comes a flock of geese They look kinda scary I think they’re in some kind of gang A goose gang Oh god oh no, they’ve all got knives I think they plan to end my life So I whip out my famous patented goose repellent And with a boom and bang, they fly away And just like that, the day is saved I guess that means it’s time to get back to my flying machine Oh yeah Flying machine Oh yeah I sure love to fly in my Can’t wait to fly in my Sure love to fly in my flying machine

The Golden Land 03:40
lyrics
We’re on our way to the golden land And we won’t return till we’ve reached the end Our map will guide me and all my friends There’s prosperous outlooks at the highest chance We’re heading out to the golden land With riches galore at every single glance As we ride our steed listenin’ to the band We come together and we sing and dance Going ooh la la la We hoot and holler and shout hoorah Ooh la la la We’ll gain the fame that we always saw Ooh la la la Across the fields and through the bog Ooh la la la La la la la We come across an angry troll Who’ll let us pass with a measly toll He speaks of a game with a single role If we lose he takes our souls A simple challenge of RPS And it all comes down to who throws the best So he throws rock, and then we grin As we throw paper, that means we win And we go ooh la la la We hoot and holler and shout hoorah Ooh la la la We’ll gain the fame that we always saw Ooh la la la Across the fields and through the bog Ooh la la la La la la la And lo, draws near a fiery beast Who’s come to kill and to prey and feast We scream and run but it’s no use The monster roars and begins to choose I draw my blade and I charge away Stabbing the beast and saving the day The monster is slain and we are saved So we continue and shout hooray We arrive at the gates of the golden land I’m finally here with all my friends And we claim our prize at my command It’s beautiful, we’ve reached the end And we go ooh la la la We hoot and holler and shout hoorah Ooh la la la We gained the fame that we always saw Ooh la la la Across the fields and through the bog Ooh la la la La la la la

When Grandma Attacks 03:41
lyrics
Look at little grandma all asleep On the sofa watching her TV Little did she know Someone’s opened her window And next morning she’s nowhere to be seen Grandmas all around will disappear And then the public will fall into fear Where have they gone Off their rocking chair and lawn Well maybe you could lend me your ear This world is simply imperfect And I’ve spent years set to fix it Now you’ll all run for shelter When you see my army of elders I’m using grandmas as soldiers Knitting needles stuck through your shoulders Here they come as you gaze So you better count your days Army helmets fit for raisin skin Yellow smiles drooping to their chin Now they’re marching with their canes As I control their brains Telling them to go and get a win They’ll kill you with their stories and their guns As far as they know, they’re just having fun Hypnotized and foggy eyes, they’re ripe for mind control So their muscles once again can rock and roll They’re out for blood, once more Worn out bones knocking down your door The people will finally come to see And they’ll grovel at my feet But a lesson must be taught On this world that we let rot And there’s nothing you can do Now granny’s got a bone to pick with you Pick a fight With an old lady, dead of night You fight all right She’s clammy and she’s flaky You are scared and cold But now this war is getting old Literally, it’s old ladies She has a knife And she attacks, you parry right She wants your life To end, she wants to end your life But you can disarm her But you don’t want to harm her She used to bake banana bread Now she only wants your head And all of you will shout What the hell is this about And none of you will see That pollution was the key You’re killing all the fish (All the fish) And it kinda makes me pissed (Makes me pissed) So the obvious solution Is a grandma revolution They are completely vile They’re mind controlled and senile Even though they used to Be so nice to you Oh oh and yes, they’re an army But I just can’t say I’m sorry Won’t anybody stop me Nobody can stop me now Nobody can stop me now, oh no

Stuart Little 04:01
lyrics
It was a movie from '99 Adapted from a book written by E.B. White And even though it made plenty of cash This movie makes me mad A family goes to the orphanage To find a brother for their 9 year old kid But what do they bring in their house Some stupid little mouse Ohh, woah oh oh, I only want to sing my prayer Ohh, woah oh oh, so you can feel the hate I share Stuart Little, I hate your face You dress up like the human race Stuart Little, a mouse that talks And sounds like Michael J Fox His antics make me want to scream I can’t stand watching him on the screen Who’s idea was this flick? It really makes me sick (blegh) I don’t care about his family issues While the rest of the audience are grabbing tissues I’m trying not to scream at him and say “I wish you passed away” Ohh, woah oh oh, I see him in my dreams every night Ohh, woah oh oh, staring with his beady little eyes Ohh, woah oh oh, won’t anybody understand Ohh, woah oh oh, why this movie should be banned Stuart Little, I hate your face You dress up like the human race Stuart Little, a mouse that talks And sounds like Michael J Fox When will this rodent learn That he deserves to burn People always tellin’ me to chill But I just want to talk to who produced this film And question them why Did you comply To the person whose big idea to you Was a mouse that’s wearing tennis shoes Stuart Little, I hate your face You dress up like the human race Stuart Little, a mouse that talks And sounds like Michael J Fox Stuart Little, I hate your face You dress up like the human race Stuart Little, a mouse that talks And sounds like Michael J Fox

The Ballad Of Mr. Engel 03:37
lyrics
Mr, Mr. Engel You’ll teach us all the knowledge in the galaxy Mr. Mr Engel You’re the man with the plan, I see Mr, Mr. Engel You’re like an angel in the sky You’re a diamond in the rough So will that be enough For an A plus in your eyes You beautiful Greek god, you human man Eighth wonder of the world Oh god, you make me mad You make me wanna twirl When the moon smiles down on me And stars as far as the eye can see Well I can’t see a better teacher than you Mr, Mr Engel Antigone doesn’t a chance against you (yeah!) Mr, Mr Engel You’ll save us all, I know it’s true (yes, it's true) Mr “amazing” Engel You’ve gotta lotta problems But I won’t list them here Because they don’t fit the tone And you might call my home And my parents aren’t gonna want to hear (Hello?) You beautiful Greek god, you human man Eighth wonder of the world Oh god, you make me mad You make me wanna twirl When the moon smiles down on me With stars as far as the eye can see Well I can’t see a better teacher than you You’re amazingly awesome, you’re awfully Kind of kind and nice inside Your heart, hardly hardens any day and night That passes by and by Without you, I’d be completely alone That’s hyperbole! Which you taught me And everyone in the world Mr, Mr. Engel Here’s a key change in the final verse Mr, Mr Engel You’re the savior of the universe Mr, Mr. Engel Everybody looks up to you Figuratively and literally Because you’re probably eight foot two! Oh, you beautiful Greek god, you human man Eighth wonder of the world Oh god, you make me mad You make me wanna twirl When the moon smiles down on me With stars as far as the eye can see Well I can’t see a better teacher than you I can't see a better teacher than you Mr, Mr Engel This better get me lots of points

Geomagnetism 03:30
lyrics
Something rattles my bones Nobody ever knows There are no noises made There are no words to say Something is at my door And it blew up the store Furniture upside down So is this worth my frown? It takes my breath away It takes a couple days A man across the street Was swept right off his feet He called the cops instead But they just shook their head And called it make believe And called him naive Magnetic, kinetic Coming from dirt and rubble It curdles and murders Bursting atmospheric bubbles Nobody understands The way I’ve felt it firsthand Some kind of twisted schism Of geomagnetism Something is breaking up It keeps me waking up The rocks that hold my place Just end up on my face I only want to think About my forty winks My clawfoot bathtub ended up In the kitchen sink I told my therapist They say it don’t exist And gave me bad advice I’ll readjust my sights I don’t believe in mothman Or the buggane But friends and family Say that I am insane Magnetic, kinetic Coming from dirt and rubble It curdles and murders Bursting atmospheric bubbles Something is a knockin’ Tectonic plates a rockin' Some kind of twisted schism Of geomagnetism Oh, so can’t you feel the rhythm Of geomagnetism Some seismic hypnotism Of geomagnetism (Geomagnetism) (Geomagnetism) (Geomagnetism) (Geomagnetism)

Shake It Up 05:00
lyrics
They say you’re magic They say you know it all How can that be? You’re just a little ball You’ve gotta tell me I’ve gotta know I hit rock bottom Where do I go? I know you know how I feel But it’s all seeming so unreal Now I look to you for clues On what to do, I’m needing you No one wants to help A maniac not unlike myself I’m just having one of those days When life is gonna go this way So when I ask the question Help me out, I’m beggin' Cause I feel like I’m drowning In a pool of confusion This is my life that I’m losing (Now I gotta) Shake it up Is my outlook any good These spherical lyrics always Told me I could Shake it up Are signs pointing anywhere Because I’m pulling my hair When I’m going there My worries falling to fears And here come all the falling tears I feel like I’m trapped in some puzzle cube And I feel like a marble, like some kind of rube A bird drinking from a glass of mistakes Like I’m etching a sketch of the plans that I make But you, your numerical prowess is clear So really, is there anything for me to fear So when I’m asking you now Could you please tell me how Cause I know you have the answers So could you tell me Oh please just tell me (Now I gotta) Shake it up Is it decidedly so Cause I feel lost in the sauce And I don’t know where to go Shake it up Replies are always hazy Am I going crazy? Cause I just can’t tell anymore Shake it up My sources say no Shake it up Don’t count on it Shake it up You gotta concentrate And you really really really gotta Ask again Shake it up Without a single doubt My mind is scattered and I’m striking out Shake it up Most likely losing my mind Because I’m starting to find That I just gotta Shake it up Yes, oh, definitely, I’m going insane Something’s wrong with my brain Shake it up I’ve only got this ball Because I’m betting it all And now I gotta Shake it up

Eating Lightning 04:05
lyrics
Out on the porch, with a spoon and a fork Waiting awfully quiet, moon shining bright As the clouds rolling in, I get my rolling pin And the rain starts to come in, I turn on the oven This feat may be fatal, but I brought my ladle For a crispy snack tonight You call me stupid, but I still will do it I’m gonna eat jolts of light Use the rain as a broth, 'cause it’s all that I got Use the hail as a crouton, I lack any fruit on me Though I may know, we could harness the snow As a sauce or a side, the choices are mine It’s nature’s dish Not steak or fish But something straight from the source A tasty treat Almost complete All I need now is the main course Guess what I’m doing tonight I’ve got a brand new dish to try And it just might taste fine Smoked or toasted or deep fried Defy the culinary laws This meal comes from the sky I am eating lightning And it just might taste alright Watch the clouds The thunder loudens in my ear Waiting now I don’t ask how, I know it’s almost here Holding a bowl There’s a thought in my soul Might I be a fool No, I never went to school I don’t know, I don’t know Oh oh no I think tonight I might miss out on lightning It all seems unlikely I just set my sights here A little too far For a meal from the stars I head back inside (But then, but then) A bright shiny bolt Strikes inside of my bowl My mission here is done Now dinner is served With a taste of the earth I finally touched the sun Guess what I’m doing tonight I’ve got a brand new dish to try And it just might taste fine Smoked or toasted or deep fried Defied the culinary laws And now I can finally say I am eating lightning And it doesn’t really taste that great

Your Old Car 05:10
lyrics
I remember nights When we’d cruise along Singing all the songs Where did all that go We used to take it slow Now it’s all too much Gotta break it up Just like you broke me Cause now I finally see Even with broken lights Why we lost those nights Maybe I wasn’t right The right one just for you But I did all I could do Now I guess I am replaced When I took that hammer to the face You used to cover me With such pretty art Now it’s torn apart But I won’t forget The good times that we had (Yeah!) Going for a ride (Yeah, going for a ride!) Even in the rain We’d still drive outside But one fateful night You and all your friends Were drinking like the end And you went to the porch Walking up to me With a sledge hammer I tried to get away Then it all went grey But my engine still goes And my tires will spin And you’ll never know But I will still win Now I’m rolling from the dump Speed increasing quick Pushing on the stick Set to your address You’re still on the lawn And I’m back on the lawn And then you see me and you scream And then you’re gone
