Everything’s fine No worries It’s all good But the same token Says I would if I could Tear it all up and Knock down the walls For one night For one touch For one chance to be What I wanted so much It doesn’t bear further inspection It doesn’t bear further inspection It doesn’t stand up to scrutiny But it’s a fire-tested memory It doesn’t submit to scrutiny

Diorama 00:28
Tableaux in miniature The details are the signs You have to read between the lines Illuminating theme Emulating scene
3.
The Slimes 01:17
Ronnie Roundhouse Got tuned up By Muhammad Alley So he gave up the street science Called up his friend English Vic They formed a band They found their sound They were called The Slimes And they were the most Ass-kicking band around We’re going downtown to see The Slimes
4.
Dark Masters 01:22
Boardroom debacles Foie gras faux pas The future is gat-elastic For dark masters 100% de-aggravate The internet is outside It’s always man, chin or razor To dark masters Hand me that vial, child I’m losing titles Self-tilted I’ll send you rockers From dark masters Weaponized immunitease 100% de-aggravate The internet is outside It’s always man, chin or razor To dark masters

Meet me at psychic outpost In vibrant pathways To phantomhead Go to your womb In a grave of leaves “Meet me at psychic outpost! In vibrant pathways To phantomhead!”
6.
Philip Hidden Pine He does it every time He’ll do it ’til you’re blind He’s not ready for his close-up Until it blew up Everything was going fine He’d worn himself a groove Just from running in a line O Hidden Pine Up and at ’em! They’re sounding the chime For today’s cabana time
7.
Buy me firecrackers Put ’em down Yankee scum Queens of Kingston Thunder nuggets Volcanic corruption The husk of a wasp Love Is the path To the light Of slick Liberty and silver bells Remember the future When we turn to steam
8.
Only a baker’s dozen worldwide Are qualified To comprehend our vegetable formula But of those 13 Four are partially hydrogenated Two are a savory medley Three are on spinach powder One exhales sprouts
9.
There’s no tomorrow today Our brains are God’s DVR You wanted to fly ... We record the likeliest Cognitive mantras You wanted pilot’s garb I gave you epaulets You wanted to fly I gave you wings There’s nowhere higher We left it on the airfield We max the throttle I pressurize the cabin He serves the pretzels At the cash bar Downloading skyward Cruising at croosting altitude You wanted to fly I gave you wings You wanted to rock I gave you Joseph Airport
10.
The Acropolis Pillars support steeds With tyrants’ plots That’s what he should know The Agronomist Supplants prude seeds With hero crops Now he’s good to grow
11.
You don’t grow on trees You’re made of great magical things Your eyes are the dark and the quiet Your skin is like velour Let me curate all your heartifacts Mesopotamians unite! Mesopotamians unite! Pawn your kings Your Genghis cons And Alexander the averages Pick up your cold swords For Liberty is a bitch And the Atlantic is an open grave Just ask your simiancestors Eating headibles in Ego Cave Mesopotamians unite! Mesopotamians unite! Pawn your kings Your Genghis cons

He is the alchemist Reality bender Magical sciences practitioner Offers forever elixir to peace wagers And totem souls to deity pagers
13.
Write Now 02:04
He’s a crud Totem Paul Vincent’s price Loaf of bad meat Glamour Joe is so striking When the ceiling drips down The rockers aren’t the hits You ride the acid horse for me Sombrero claymore I’ve got a tromboner Don’t be impressed I just know how To do it Dragonflies are helicopters Jellyfish are parachutes Write now
14.
You’re eminently Well-positioned Geographically To remove the threat Permanently Give your account number When you call me back But guess what? Joe’s not here So I’m paying for it He’s a phoenix Ready to rock the nation Invited by a cloud To a mini-slam But guess what? Joe’s not here so I set 14 couches aflame I’m the one to blame
15.
Find me a propeller Give them proper wings Give them Viking burials! The jury will hang As coy sirens coo In an ancient tongue The farmada ventures north
16.
I’m Mr. Interesting I’m all up in Fredward’s personal business But he’s obliv To my test And my hypothesis Organic-endorsed High domus gains Halyomorpha halys On the corn blossoms The last triumvirate Awaits us in the boardroom That’s helium dude It’s what I remember From my science
17.
Seek ye the choicest cuts Liberate your fleshly demands Touch it with the eyes See it in your hands Reiterate your fealty Contemplate temporal concerns Heavy is the head’s burden When his asshole brother returns High standards king Approach the dais Kiss the hem of the robe Of the high standards king It’s a case of regicide Better than the corollary It’s knock off the head To possess the body
18.
Chaos Spigot 00:23
Stray gods fish with vermiculated apples Strifeforms await the breeding frenzy Jettisoned futures come Gushing out of Chaos spigot
19.
Murk Lurker 01:33
Did you hear? They drew the line A soil embargo Retaking Key Largo 1 2 3 I’ve got the guts Swerving through nerve grass Choose your own mad venture Blasé fire Silver scream The clutches of the murk lurker Are you clear? Are you well Ron? Over yonder by the tree Preparing for the hanging 1 2 3
20.
Chlorophilip 01:10
Experimental offspring of Chlorophilip: The residents of your stalk Are the blade of his advance He is Chlorophilip Yeah Experimental offspring Dig their way Out of Chlorophilip Yeah
21.
Smalltime broheim Fresh on the scene Plastic haircut Glaring at me The glass The wreck The waving of phones Slipping past unnoticed Numb to the drone Gathering speed Into the west Fleeing a black hole Composed of white death The big douchechill Wailing of sirens So far from home O wild phantom Where do you roam? You gave me The big douchechill
22.
Happy chemtrails to you My cuteness pals The bar is high But so am I Every princess has a wart somewhere Secret broadcaster In the night Lop topper With tattered wings Your penmanship has sailed Take it to Delaware I went there I’m taking you with me Be sure you don’t blow yr fanfare Secret broadcaster Riding out the storm Frayed and dismayed Comfortably dumb Heaven has an outer space It’s bright and it’s inviting If it can be done Then it can’t be done Does a succubus ever need light? Secret broadcaster Rotating vocal stylings To the outer edges Of the sonic sphere Secret broadcaster In the night Lop topper With tattered wings
23.
Fire swimmers Elude the Day-Glo cop They don’t have time for friction As unapproved masters Wave wands full of chemicals At kite walkers cum abracadavers We’re all made of carbon But blazers never tell Blazers never tell ...
24.
There’s no honor among thieves There's no honor among thieves They’ll stab your back They’ll leave you slack And put your blood in a tureen There’s no honor among thieves
