| Four Fingered Fisherman | |

First Track off their album "Sad Happy Sucker"
"Four Fingered Fisherman"
You're in the back seat and you say to yourself
"OK it doesn't matter anyway"
it's weeds pulling weeds and your Blaming yourself
Ok we're all indifferent in our own ways
You're in trouble now and you say to yourself
"Ok my baby clean conscience anyways"
You're in the back seat and you say to yourself
"OK it doesn't matter anyway"
It's weeds pulling weeds and you're blaming yourself
Ok we're all indifferent in are own ways
You're in trouble now and you say to yourself
"Ok my baby clean conscience anyways"
Four fingered fisher man alright
finger four fisher man so uptight
hello
you're getting on no one
you're both right
Four fingered Fisher man all night long
Four fingered Fisher man so uptight though
so uptight though

Ping Pong, Ping Pong
Ping Pong, Ping Pong
Sit and think for awhile and you'll
Realize that you're still dyeing

If your not thinking at all
I'm not sure why your alive

Sit and think for awhile and you'll
Realize that you're still dyeing
Nahnahanaaaahh
If your not thinking at all
I'm not sure why your alive
Ping Pong, Ping Pong
Ping Pong, Ping Pong
Ping Pong, Ping Pong

| Mice Eat Cheese | |
|
What are you doing here?
I came to get a case of factory outlet beer, then
I go home
I don't feel like I want to be by myself
Mice eat cheese
For the most part, they do as they please then
Cat comes home
Mice don't feel very free to walk around

| Secret Angent X-9 | |
|
Off their album "Sad Happy Sucker"
"Secret Angent X-9"
Got a racecar grin and a calculation
And every gun for a secret agent
Defunct that timebomb at the space station
Hey, Secret Agent X-9 why don't you drop me a line?
And say, would it cost you your job
to say what was in that gold box?
So why did they give you that job?
And why can they give you that job?
You think this guy was on a permanent vacation
But no he's not, he's a secret agent

| Classy Plastic Lumber | |

Off of their album "Sad Happy Sucker"
"Classy Plastic Lumber"
Buh duh buh buh buh
Bud duh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh
You go right through me
I go right through but I'm about to
Go on reminding you I am about to see you through it
Buh duh buh buh buh
Bud duh buh buh buh buh duh buh buh
Buh duh buh buh buh
Your mouth not mind is open wide
You don't have a clue
I I am a reminder
You've got a voice so talk to yourself
Lift the bad weight off your mullet
And let the thoughts fall off your tongue
Cause I'm callin' callin' callin'
I've never written to anyone
So this is about ugly lovers
And this is about pretty songs
Cause I'm a bastard bastard bastard
In my lipstick I'm so much fun
Connect your wood feet to a motor
And the chrome dance trophy is won
A little classy plastic lumber
I'm embarassed but I ain't that stunned
Looks like the humans' days are numbered
That's a sitcom that was number one
Cause we're a past tense late rate (?)
I must've thouroughly convinced us not to mess this place up
(Shameful shameful shameful)
