You Will Be a Hot Dancer
Damn, this situation's new to me, why?
I see a head afraid to be himself
I bet he'd like to have a little
encouragement from the opposite
come that side of the floor
yes! egg him along
make him feel at ease with himself
steal his clothes, leave him his shoes
let's get this marmaduke naked
everybody help make him feel at ease
let's get this marmaduke naked
let's get this marmaduke naked
so lose your head and go to pieces
don't you make fun of me
don't you make fun of me
I'm gonna be, gonna be
be a hot dancer!
don't you make fun of me
don't you make fun of me
I'm gonna be, gonna be
be a hot dancer!
Ooh, now that the basics are down
converse amongst yourselves but
keep an eye out for the next complication
in other words, grab the next motherfucker marmaduke
who refuses to submit to these pelvic ostentations
I can't wait until the syllables bend
let's get this marmaduke naked
let's get this marmaduke naked
so lose your head and go to pieces
don't you make fun of me
don't you make fun of me
I'm gonna be, gonna be
be a hot dancer!
don't you make fun of me
don't you make fun of me
I'm gonna be, gonna be
be a hot dancer!
Gonna be a hot dancer, son
you will be a
don't you make fun of me
don't you make fun of me
I'm gonna be, gonna be
be a hot dancer!
don't you make fun of me
don't you make fun of me
I'm gonna be, gonna be
be a hot dancer!
don't you make fun of me
don't you make fun of me
don't you make fun of me
I'm gonna be a hot dancer!

Trouble in 421
The evening began as a positive swaret
and my abode was 4-2-0 G
but little did I know that in the very next apartment
there'd be trouble on the brew for me
ubiquitous I wish I could be
because the clock cuts short my own day
one hundred things to do before I rest my sore ass
upon the cushion that supports my array
Can this be trouble?
so if I may, slip you a tip
you'd best stay away from 4-2-1
trouble! so get by the green way
so get by the green way, yes!
I knocked upon their door
in hopes of bidding them their welcome
and instead I was caught by an eye
his pupil was wide open
kinda like a liquor barn at 3:00
it was indoubadoubly dose derived
it was then that they took me
and shined their light between my eyes
he said "what are ya new? why are you here?
what's the catch? why not explain in clear?
why you're thinking around?!"
I wish I could've just kept to my own
my hospitality has been too well spent
and I've paid my rent
I should've kept my thoughts
on who might've been inside
so that my mind could sit and delude my pride
Can this be trouble?
so if I may, slip you a tip
you'd best stay away from 4-2-1
trouble! so get by the green way
so get by the green way, yes!
I beg my common sense
to keep my neighbor out away
from my front door until I find a way
to hide myself from those in 4-2-1
one, one away from the good one
I beg my common sense
to keep my neighbor out away
from my front door until I find a way
to hide myself from those in 4-2-1
4-2-1, 4-2-1
Take Me to Your Leader
What if your brain, unexpectedly and suddenly
picked out things to flip around and view a lot differently?
what if blue sky, all of a sudden turned a purple hue?
we would shit a brick the size of all of it... what if?
What if I was just dreaming? (what if I was just dreaming?)
what if I lived in a pear? (what if I lived in a pear?)
what if my watch read 4:20 every hour, every day?
you can bet your dollar I'd be happy!
I forgot to remember
I forgot to remember my pain
take me to your leader or die by the fly guy!
What if mothballs
hangin' around too close to microwaves
suddenly woke up and said
"take me to your leader or die by fly guy!
he'll push ya' out, no wings attached!"
just do as I say, no mistake, he'll blow away
What if I was just dreaming? (what if I was just dreaming?)
what if I lived in a pear? (what if I lived in a pear?)
what if I had a mustard drenched cucumber tied to my leg
and I did not want my pants to get dirty?
what if this, what if that?!
go!
I forgot to remember
I forgot to remember my pain
take me to your leader or die by the fly guy!
I forgot to remember
I forgot to remember my pain
my pain
forgot to inject my cocaine
forgot to apply my rogaine
forgot to remember my pain, pain, pain
I never think, I never thought, oh maybe I'm insane
I think I like being way the fuck out of my brain
I never think, I never thought, oh maybe I'm insane
I think I like being way the fuck out of my brain
I forgot to remember
I forgot to remember my pain
take me to your leader or die by the fly guy!
I forgot to remember
I forgot to remember my pain
take me to your leader or die by the fly guy!
Medium
Medium, medium (x8)
Waking up I smell the scent
of coffee on the brew and I
think about the amount of the sweet
I'd like to have in my cup today
one for the two lump, three lump, four
no half of one, no less no more
just give me a chance, let me make it mine
I'd like a medium blend of that piece of pie
Not too bitter, not too sweet
just enough to start my beat
not too bitter, not too sweet
just enough to start my beat
Dinner time just rolls around
and I think I crave a steak but
I'm not too partial to the meat
when it's cooked too long
and I'm made to wait
not too much of the parsley
and just enough of the spice
I think I'd enjoy a medium-rare dish
with a side of fries
Not too tender, not too tough
not too little, just enough
not too tender, not too tough
not too little, just enough
Medium, medium, medium, medium
just a medium, medium
Come Thursday morn' I smell the pits
but hey, it ain't that bad I
could of sworn I bathed last week
and scrubbed like a good lad
I like to stink just a little bit
just to keep you on your toes, yes
the more I stink the more I think
that you smell like a rose
Not too pleasant, not too bad
just enough to hurt my dad
not too pleasant, not too bad
just enough to hurt my dad
Medium, medium, medium, medium medium, medium
Speak Free
You took our lives away
to increase your self esteem
an underlie in the public eye
your dubbed insane
if and when you try to
speak your mind
in your own way
ignore the past and speak free
You smashed glass eyes just to say
"it all is all that I need"
an underlie in the public eye
your dubbed insane
if and when you try to
speak your mind
in your own way
ignore the past and speak free
What you see
is a reflection of my choice
and what it means to me
trapped in your cell
a mindless plot against own eyes
to simplify your hell
I begin to contemplate
then hyperventilate
turning the thought in my head
may be my last
I begin to contemplate
then hyperventilate
turning the thought in my head
may be my last
I begin to contemplate
then hyperventilate
turning the thought in my head
I begin to contemplate
then hyperventilate
turning the thought in my head
An underlie in the public eye
your dubbed insane
if and when you try to
speak your mind
in your own way
ignore the past and speak free
Just ease my
just ease my pain
The Answer
(Hemp?)
Step outside the bounds and take a
big look at the times we live in
who appointed you?
you're just an avid image on my screen
so take your bias
point of view away from my
organic institution
and now we dare
to think ourselves
The answer's waiting content
(look into your mind and guide)
the answer's clear as day, open your eyes
now kill me
You killed the very thing that keeps us
hanging on to our dear lives
so, in a sense you bit the hand
that feeds us just to make your prophet now
and with the coming generation
at the torn seems
this is what you call progress
I call it shame
The answer's waiting content
(look into your mind and guide)
the answer's clear as day, open your eyes
now kill me
What his law says
what his law says
what his law says
may not be the stepping stone for you
You killed the very thing that keeps us
hanging on to our dear lives
you killed the very thing that keeps us
hanging on to our dear lives
you killed the very thing that keeps us
hanging on to our dear lives
you killed the very thing that keeps us
hanging on to our dear lives, so
The answer's waiting content
(look into your mind and guide)
look into your mind and guide
look into your mind and guide

Sink Beneath the Line
Solstice sun it sank beneath the line
and the commoners were
drunken upon the hillside, yeah
or so the story goes
I guess she followed along
so she could watch their games
Sink beneath the line little girl
peak above the shrine
them commoners were
sink beneath the line little girl
peak above the shrine
them commoners were
Harvest moon it peaked above the shrine
and the crawlers emerged multitudinous
silly girl she sat upon their doorway
just poppin a squat
that's when she felt the squirms
Sink beneath the line little girl
peak above the shrine
them commoners were
sink beneath the line little girl
peak above the shrine
them commoners were
my underpants!
All I know is that she wanted to be part of the crowd
I could've told her she was welcome here, anywhere
but instead she combed the outskirts lookin' inside
and then she sat upon a bug hill
this was when things started to get rough
an army-o-de-pinchers climbed their creepy ways right inside
her 5-0-1 cut-offs and her skin took on a hue
of a chemical unknown to me that's right
they were biting her beneath the line
she was a sitting on atop their shrine
I wish I could've warned her
Sink beneath the line
peak above the shrine
sink beneath the line
peak above the shrine
"She should've worn underpants!
there's bugs crawling everywhere and shit,
I can't believe it!"
Hilikus
About a hundred years ago now
thought I was left for dead
soliloquy, she was my
a picture, a wake, my metaphoric friend
so then I fell in love with
an irony named life
it taught me this from that and
a picture, a wake, you're gonna be hilikus
History has a tendency to block out
the popular beliefs about the leaders of the time
so glisten with my syllables and ponder the thought
maybe they should have had to dedicate more to it, go!
You've got to be
so good to be
you've got to be hilikus!
So I took a walk out side with
my new found friend and the knowledge imbibe
I figured I'd find another with the same attitude, yes
then maybe I could talk to someone other than myself
the doors are now swinging wide open
a positive attitude and the ilk in my pocket
had a lot to do with my new found friend
the hilikus
History has a tendency to block out
the popular beliefs about the leaders of the time
so glisten with my syllables and ponder the thought
maybe they should have had to dedicate more to it, go!
You've got to be
so good to be
you've got to be hilikus!
you've got to be hilikus!
you've got to be hilikus!
you've got to be hilikus!
you've got to be hilikus!
You've got to be
so good to be
you've got to be hilikus!
you've got to be hilikus!
you've got to be hilikus!
you've got to be hilikus!
you've got to be hilikus!
so good to be hilikus!
so good to be hilikus!
so good to be hilikus!
so good to be hilikus!
(that it?)
