In the darkest corners of the sky
I can hear Wilhelm screaming
I must have heard him at least ten million times
wide awake while the world was barely breathing
on your first attempt, you were ok
it wasn’t great
I could tell that your heart was never in it
now imagine you’re a man
in a swamp all alone
with an alligator friend and you’ve been bitten
not all moments are created equal
not everyone gets the chance to live forever
dare to live the dream
go on to bigger better things
write a hit song called The Purple People Eater

little girl in a mailbox
a box that's built for mail
little girl in a mailbox

little girl you can fit inside a mailbox
a fact you can't deny

I Say Yeah

take me from the city
leave me out to dry
thunderbolts and laser beams dance across the sky
I say Yeah
I know my time is coming and I’ll be humming till the end
I say yeah
My whiskey glass is empty so fill it up again
I don’t have a problem drinking without friends
I say Yeah
I know my time is coming and I’ll be humming till the end
I say yeah
Things will keep on happening no matter what
I'm content to watch this town burn up
lick my crappy butt
Wandering in circles
they ain’t called my number yet
life is just a cakewalk and I’ll take what I can get
I say yeah
I know my time is coming and I’ll be humming till the end
and when the folks come running
please tell them what I said
I said yeah

We’re gonna breakup

it’s the final shake up
we’re coming to the end
We’re gonna breakup
I know we’re gonna breakup
never gonna wake up
in your arms again
I am sill in love with you, baby
There there there
there there there

Don't Stop Be Jumpin'
03:19
|

We don’t need roads where we’re going
motoring through the marsh every night
don’t stop be Jumpin'
Selling mussels by the buttload
guaranteed to receive a decent price
don’t stop be Jumpin'
I know how you got your name
I’ve seen you spring to life when the customers ring
searching for supplies
you’re keeping them alive
Tiny gestures are not forgotten
the Sugar Daddy at the bottom
what a wonderful treat, a nice surprise
don’t stop be Jumpin'
Here comes Golden Tate
lock up all your maple bars
put those doughnuts away
or Golden Tate will break your heart
Ever wonder what’s for dinner?
a life without grits is not worth living
so boil up a pot on the stove
and don’t stop be Jumpin'
