lyrics

I. Shorting Henderson

Someone else
Patio blind
Your photo
Come on guys

Everybody’s mad at me
The chicken’s not done
The Milky Way’s stale
And she’s still sad about the whole thing

Would you rather fly with diamonds or be unconscious?

Joe Woods knows
Only two things
You have to eat
And you have to shit it

Coming back home
Tuesday afternoon
That’s what you have
To look forward to
I’m shorting Henderson

II. She Also Hates Wheat

She hates the soil
She also hates wheat
She’s no Mother Nature
Suckling mankind at her teat

No—
She hates the grind
She also hates treats
She’s bucking humanity’s trends
Preparing her will for the end

Would you rather be unconscious or fly with diamonds?

She felt the bite
She got a little cranky
Here on the banks
Of the mighty Olentangy

She can’t abide shellfish
She also hates wheat
She’s exploring avenues and
Laying plans for your demise and
Her retreat

Would you rather be unconscious or fly with diamonds?

"... An eccentric, zany little album whose catchy tunes and peculiar lyrics can put a grin on your face." —The Fire Note
