Did I see you by the roadside With a glance you tried to hide Crossed legs and your silent stare Was it a wig or some stranger's scalped hair It reminds me of those angels beyond my view Send me back to you I'm bleeding My heart is bleeding Send me back, send me back to you How's my heart Oh how my heart wears your name With all its memories I sing today And tonight, tonight will make me alive Still there's been times That I've lost the prized fight It reminds me of those angels beyond my view Send me back to you I'm bleeding My heart is bleeding Send me back, send me back to you

Fire Escape 02:59
Enjoy a stormy stroll Through the rain It puts two in alarm's way As they say, I've been there before And I'll do it once more Enjoy a fiery climb Up a fire escape You ask me fine questions of the kind How, where, why I'll keep them in store Though you'll ask them once more To the furthest point of tomorrow Which you want me to see Your every fantasy, every daydream Still nowhere, with nowhere's closest fear Birthday cards Don't send me one For all my held-back tears One more year, my heartbeat's a chore And I'll feel this once more So sorry for the sad news A ruse, a rose yeah Some you lose, some you don't, I suppose A ruse, a rose Some you lose, some you don't So go on, my friends

SHAMS: You don't stand a ghost of a chance against the Brainiac. KASHANI: The Brainiac knows. SHAMS: Oh, he knows. He's up there in a space station somewhere, trapped. It has something to do with the 1930's film Monkey Business. KASHANI: The Brainiac knows. SHAMS: He's like an encyclopedia. Like the Encyclopedia of Britannica, if you will. Brainiac is quite sophisticated in all of his ways. KASHANI: The Brainiac knows. SHAMS: He's in a space station with high-powered MKUltra drugs being pumped into his brain. Mind control... KASHANI: The Brainiac knows. SHAMS: Brainiac knows everything! He's better than the Encyclopedia, he's better than Wikipedia, the Internet. High-speed, high-powered Internet. KASHANI: Yes, he does know. The Brainiac knows. SHAMS: He knows everything! He's all-knowing...in the Brainiac's benevolence. KASHANI: The Brainiac knows. SHAMS: No one, no one can stop the Brainiac and his all-knowing power. But he's trapped. Trapped in a space station. KASHANI: The Brainiac knows. SHAMS: He can't escape. The Turk Virus is gonna run rampant across the planet 'cause of Dirty Mike... KASHANI: The Brainiac knows... SHAMS: Penis Holder, Incorporated, LLC is trying to take over the planet... KASHANI: He's in a space station. Yes he does know... SHAMS: ...they want the Brainiac powers to be known! KASHANI: The Brainiac knows. SHAMS: The Moon's over Miami now. KASHANI: The Brainiac knows. SHAMS: He knows everything. He's all-knowing. KASHANI: The Brainiac knows. (Marvis Brainiac.) The Brainiac knows. (Marvis!)

Raffy Taffy Rackle Tackle Spent his early days As a drive-thru attendant speaker (The Hunchback She-Clown is the Minotaur.) His tech: To remain silent, mysterious Stoic when a response Is at last forced from him But when his family is present There at his workplace surrounding him And he's suspicious They can see straight through him As if he was a glass door And they're holding rocks in their hands (The Hunchback She-Clown is the Minotaur.) Which they might throw at any instant In the land of Wait It Out In the land of Wait It Out In the land of Wait It Out In the land of Wait It Out

I waited so long But you never showed Why do I try anymore? And I guess I'll stay home and cry tonight I'll stay home and cry You don't know how much I think about you How much I want you for my own And you'd be surprised what I'm capable of If I could just get you alone But I haven't told you The way I really feel Now I wonder, is it too late? And I guess I'll stay home and cry tonight I'll stay home and cry

Another Time 05:43
The heavy drizzle of rain spent Puts me at ease in fading moments It reminds me of the rent A blue mirage on the street side A mural so accurate a likeness I awoke on the bus ride Another time I might have worried Another time I might have walked I will call your name I will call your name, inside Another time What possessed the season's change I'll buoy the way I'll buoy the dangerous way to safety I'll forgive the error I made The never-finished cobblestone Only a dream Only a dreamer's closed eyes could see You'll find me on my own Another time I might have worried Another time I might have walked I will call your name I will call your name, inside Another time

It's Me 02:42
It hurts to see you like this 'Cause I love you so You act as if we've never met Don't you know it's me It's me, it's me It's me Forgive me for what I've done And I, I wish you well Somewhere inside behind those eyes Can't you tell that it's me It's me, it's me It's me

Welcome to the Monkey House Where life is fun and games Welcome to the Monkey House You'll find we're all the same Welcome to the Monkey House You'll find an excellent view Welcome to the Monkey House Find the Monkey House in you Welcome to the Monkey House Where life is fun and games (Just come on over!) Welcome to the Monkey House You'll find we're all the same (We're exactly the same.) Welcome to the Monkey House You'll find an excellent view (If you look...)

La Luna 02:34
La luna Reluce en el dia Y el sol Nos mira en la noche No puedo hablar Cuando andamos juntos en la calle No puedo hablar Cuando andamos juntos en la noche Porque la luna Reluce en el dia Y el sol Nos mira en la noche Yeah No puedo hablar Cuando miro a tus ojos hermosos No puedo hablar Cuando miro a tus ojos hermosos Porque la luna Reluce en el dia Y el sol Nos mira en la noche Yeah Porque la luna Reluce en el dia Y el sol Nos mira en la noche

What is this feeling crevaced deep down? It stays, disappears and emerges again The Loon's Lurk Enter: Christine and Chocolate Swirl Two wicked females Laced with a more primitive kindness A bristling kindness Abrasive to the silky chances Of your survival Happyfats Polluted with the sticky ghosts Of Riska's Catfood Allegiance Scary harbingers of Nature's inevitable wrath

And now it's midnight You're nowhere and you'll never be Close to me again It's my fault 'cause I pushed you away So many times I never smiled as much as I could have And you know less Than I'm sure that you would have If I didn't hide every time That you wanted the truth Well, here I am I'm waiting for you to come back to me And when the day comes I won't say what I want to I'm afraid you'll not be open Did my words mean nothing to you All those times I told you how sorry I am And how much that I want you again So come back to me Come back to me I'm waiting, waiting for you For you to come back to me

I've got nothing left To say for now My mind is far away Now that I've made my choice I've made my choice I'm just waiting around Now that I've made my choice I've made my choice I'm just waiting around Waiting around to leave Don't talk Don't talk to me that way You know that my heart It just can't stay Now that I've made my choice I've made my choice I'm just waiting around Now that I've made my choice I've made my choice I'm just waiting around Waiting around to leave Tell me you understand
