Track Name: Polynesia
we swam around Mele while
the damsel fish were not amused
i stubbed my toe on coral crater
then we washed on over to
where the natives wore only blue
they seemed a bit bizarre and cult-like
and they tried to get us to stay
we refused and they blocked our way
then showed us the best time of our lives
to each of us went seven girls
aged 16 to 41
and all the mango juice we could ask for
every sunset there was a feast
consisting of some unique island beast
that persisted no matter how many they slaughtered
it was strange, this beast was grotesque
with horns all over its head
but i'll tell you, the taste was outta sight
Track Name: MSG
there is something in the air out east
that feeds the brain with a stain of electrified grease
and manipulates the earnings of the people in the places
so the fossils are accused of not leaving traces
a forward-based nation of thirsty rabid muppets
taking a break for their tea and crumpets
a song sung so straight from a land's long lost love
I'm here to say to all, "welcome to the club"
Track Name: After Hours Party Crasher
waiting atop the mansion
watchin' the town lights dancin'
the night air hummin' like a downed power line
the headlights slip up the driveway
1:50 a.m. Friday
drunken laughter splits the night in two
through the kitchen into
a palatial living room
the party ain't over
won't be sleepin' for awhile
the house shakes from bombastic laughter
an after hours party crasher
waits with forbearance soaking in the sounds
the fireplace want of kindle
the conversations dwindle
bayonet glistens in the wan moonlight
through the window into
a colossal slumber room
the party is over
time to sleep eternally
Track Name: Wrapped Round a Polar Bear
blue-collared greens
taped to my plate
serving the fiend in me
high voltage screams
ripped from the throat
of vocal abilities
and all the stands are set to fall
and all the doors are locked
so when we find out what we want
we know we can't be stopped
we'll trap them in their comfort zone
and surf them into waves
and that will be the end of it
and all the world is saved
buffoonish schemes surprise to succeed
ignorance is the key
blissful lips of crimson tie-dye
wrapped 'round a polar bear
touching on everything but truth (I'm charmed by the absurd)
squelching the innocence of youth (I was greatly misinformed)
