Oh Capricorn, Oh Capricorn He watched the birds Synchronize their hurricane Those dodo brains Can remember the task at hand Their partnership The lay of the land How, do they do it? How, do you do it? Oh Capricorn, Oh Capricorn He was hungry You can't exist exclusively on noodles He felt like a dog Who'd never eat again He felt like a dog who'd never eat again Like a dog who'd never eat again Tar Angel They made tar angels They made tar angels The sin The gin That stupid grin The light That night Tar Angel you were right Thank you for everything

Hawaii 03:12
lyrics

Scream, to me In my mouth, your anxiety Or just facts, random quotes, or figures We can't kiss like eskimos We got sunburns on our nose From drinking beers on the beach In Hawaii Taking a stroll on the blackest of sand Your hand in my hand On an island chain somewhere In Hawaii Now we're running away from your mother and father Taking a dip in the silky wet water Making love like two dolphins In Hawaii

Got gold around my fingers Got gold around my neck Been thinking bout getting a toe ring It's not to get your respect But She says it's compensation She says it's compensation Drive a hummer H3 Four-wheel drive Gets me where I'm going Keeps me alive But She says it's compensation She says it's compensation I play my Roland V-drums Paid 5 grand You say it's to show off But I can sound African Why you say it's compensation? Why you say it's compensation?

Ok Cupid, I've been stupid But no one's dumb like you It seems like all your arrows fly like sparrows They're landing on whomever they want to Your success is pretty low You should quit Retire the bow Any day no You'll be drunk and lonely too Pre-adult, Man-child All that shit can wait a while Trawling through Digital dump Hump to slump, Hump to slump Browsing through my cue I see a face And it's you X marks the spot Ok Cupid, I've been stupid But no one's dumb like you It seems like all your arrows fly like sparrows They're landing on whomever they want to They want to They want to They want to They want to

Snake Charmers Worm Tamers Dog-baiting ladies swerving down the synapse in a new mercedes It scares me Have you read the rede? The wiccan rule of three On Me Three times On Me Soiled Sheets, Body odors Dirty tweets, burnt folgers part time cash, Left to posterity three times no charm when your aura's dim as texas tea 1 equals 3 over three When I die god forbid there are seventy-two for me seventy-two for me seventy-two for me Queen me Queen me Queen me

I'd love to be part of the 20 percent you remember every 24 hours It's cuz you see so much that you forget So maybe I'll be a part of that hazy 80 But if you listen to this song, just once, without skipping, you just might remember something when it's all through I was so obsessed, so so obsessed with making mom happy and making god happy and making dad happy and Ms. Gach happy and I had to be happy Maybe in that order well fuck me Told them I wanted to be a banker and a general a cowboy and a robot Soldier and an argonaut an artist and an astronaut but i just wanted to be a space cadet I'm in love now with myself For the first time no one else I'm in love with myself I don't need no one else Now I'm not the type that would go and read a self-help book and i didn't I just helped myself to what's good I just helped myself And everything's good And I feel really good I copped the attitude I'm not lonely at all, no I copped the attitude I'm not lonely at all, no I've only got eyes for me I'm in love now with myself For the first time no one else I'm in love with myself I don't need no one else I'm in love now with myself For the first time no one else I'm in love with myself I don't need no one else

Oh Mama Today is your day today And Mama You'll always have my heart I bought a card of a cheshire grinning A centerfold on a roulette spinning Counting your days Tits never last Oh how you'd kick my ass Tie my tie Step to the mirror I'd catch your eye And you'd cry And you'd cry And you'd cry And you'd cry Oh Mama Today is your day today And Mama You'll always have my heart Today Today
