I went shopping the other day Ran out of milk and bread and more I also ran out of direction And on my way to the store I got lost
2.
Cat Yak 00:21
My cat barfed overnight My cat barfed overnight I didn't know where he did and I stepped in it Could this day get any worse? (No!) Cat yak (cat yak) Cat yak (cat yak) Cat yak (cat yak) Cat yak (cat yak) I stepped in it this morning The whole day is shot
3.
Didn't Know 00:48
Didn't know what I was doing So full of doubt Why was I awake so early Sleep time was chopped Didn't know what I was doing My brain was out Didn't know what I was doing So I just stopped

Canned Goods 00:35
5.
Usurpation 00:30
This is upsetting What they're doing here All their actions are obscene And this is madness All good intentions here Have been overrun by spleen Usurpation Usurpation it happened again
6.
Oh no oh no oh no I jumped the gun again Gotta go gotta go gotta go I'm on the run again Oh no oh no oh no I jumped the gun again Gotta go gotta go gotta go I'm on the run again Take it back we don't want it It's too early for this crap Take it back we don't want And throw it in the trash Oh no oh no oh no I jumped the gun again Gotta go gotta go gotta go get back to where we've been I'm going home
7.
It's time we take over the landscape reclaim what is ours 'Cause nature despises a void and there is one right there We'll move in at just the right time and bask under the stars Man the battle stations and brace for this righteous warfare Let's go! Let's go! Let's go! Let's go!
8.
One More Try 00:41
Let's give it one more try Let's give it one more try Don't let the fear of failure bring you down Let's give it one more try Let's give it one more try Don't let the fear of failure keep you down Give it one more try One more try One more try

Bravado 00:53
No one's gonna catch me No one's gonna get me No one's gonna take me down tonight Don't be so sure I wouldn't go there just yet Don't be so sure you'd win I told you... No one's gonna catch me No one's gonna get me No one's gonna take me down tonight You're not gonna catch me You're not gonna get me You're not gonna bring me down tonight
11.
Stuck 00:36
Maybe this will change Maybe we will learn something Or perhaps we'll stay Navel gazing once again We're stuck Stuck Stuck at home we'll Never leave Never leave
12.
We're heading straight to hell or paradise Decide our fate with the roll of the dice We're heading straight to hell or paradise Decide our fate with the roll of the dice Don't know if this is healthy I'm just not sure Leaving to chance your future Seems so impure We're heading straight to hell or paradise Decide our fate with the roll of the dice We're feeling great so let's roll all the dice tonight
13.
Invasion 00:40
Can we take it I don't know But it's coming Look out We will see it Any day And we'll never Be safe I want to think we're fine But it's too late Can we take it I don't know But it's coming This way We can't take it Now I know And it's coming Look out
14.
Another setback now Third one today I can't remember how We got this way Think back to where we were last year The finest line In spite of all the peril near We will be fine
15.
Hey it's Oktoberfest Yes it's finally here Happy Oktoberfest Now let's have a beer
16.
Burned Out 00:58
We burn candles at both ends Can we stop and see our friends Will the midnight oil still burn just the same Or are we too old and can't play the game It's extinguishing the last inner flame Burned out
17.
Cut Short 00:54
I was trying to get back before the sun went down But before I knew it there was no one else around Everything is cut short And we're always out of time Everything is cut short
18.
Make my way across 13,000 traffic lights I'm just trying to get home again As my mind conjures up some stupid pointless slights Blinkers are my metronome again I can't tell if I'm tired or just growing up Are they one and the same Made my way across 13,000 traffic lights But at last I made it home tonight I'm staying home
19.
Now is the time to make your voice heard Or else this all stays the same I bet that you will not say a word While slowly going insane Going insane You're slowly going insane Gone insane
20.
Off we go and on and on until we reach the end And we fight the elements until we finally bend We always forge ahead We never stay behind With certain death ahead We should have stayed behind this time No return No return No return Now burn
21.
22.
Now what are we gonna do tonight Are we finally gonna stay at home Or is it the same thing every night But the hundred thousandth time's the charm I'll conquer the world We'll conquer the world I'll conquer the world We'll conquer the world I don't understand this way of life Where we fail and fail and fall to pieces again
23.
I have so many questions The cosmic things and the mundane And I won't get the answers While you look at me like I'm insane Who tows the tow truck? How far's a stone's throw? What heats the heat lamp? Can someone tell me? This takes forever Where did the time go? Who tows the tow truck? Can someone tell me? We have so many questions The answers all elude us still
24.
I can tell by that look in your eye You're bored out of your head I don't know if I can help you out But let's try this instead Why don't we go outside Maybe we'll go for a drive Who knows just what tomorrow will bring But today I'm OK
25.
Sunshine and rainbows Can you imagine? Dinosaurs and unicorns Can you imagine? All of it's amazing! Candy bars and magic beans Can you imagine? All of it's amazing! YEAH
26.
They told me it's alright I know that it's a lie Every day nothing's there No one knows where it went And it's just back to one Every day every time We start again We start again every day
27.
Deciduous 00:45
What was that you said I did not catch that I spaced out just then But I'm back let's chat You say my mind is in a tree It doesn't matter much to me It don't matter much
28.
We gotta go real fast Or we'll be left behind If we're not first we're last All nuance is declined Don't understand why we live this way Rush around Rush around Rush around
29.
Tea Time! 00:48
30.
Unresolved 00:44
I want to go right back to where I belong There's something in my head and it's not resolved This was a haven for me to sing my song But something happened here and it's not resolved I've been out by myself for so long Can I stay here with you? I want to go right back to where I belong I want to go right back but it's not resolved
31.
I could never take your place (I would never run the race) This seems pointless on its face (I'll try not to leave a trace) Memories I can't erase (I just want to see your face) I could never take your place (I would never run the race) There is something in the way There is someone in the way There is something in the way There is someone in the way
32.
What's up, Rochester, how y'all doin' tonight?! Now excuse us while we play your songs alright Every night Without fail Every night Without fail Much of a muchness It's all the same
33.
34.
Well all this undue stress is always on the run It always puts me on the spot I'd like to think I'm always ready for some fun My lower back says, "No you're not" And in their place is something else Instead of fun things we get bills Rent and car payments are due And now our nights are all cut short before they're done That's when our plans all go to pot And in their place is something else Instead of fun things we get bills Rent and car payments are due
35.
Recuperation 00:56
Another night alone (this got old months ago) We need to find a way (this doesn't have to stay) A wretched overtone (which causes vertigo) Let's fix the bug today (and cast the doubt away) I'm emerging from the fog Virus had me down This is not an epilogue Let's go hit the town
36.
Last Call 00:48
One more beer And then my dear It's time to say goodnight Drink it slow Then it's time to go That's all, last call, goodnight That's all, last call, goodnight
