I go out of my way to wear out my welcome I go out of my way to wither my wisdom MMmm I go out in the wind to mend my woes when I'm with wind I tell it which to go Which way to go Well I might get tired I might get mad If I were inspired I'd be the better man I want to be the better man Be the better man

Sally’s singing several silly songs that abuse the alphabet. It seems she’s out to set an achievement of some type. I hear her spewing serenades of selling seashells. Harvesting the S’s as if they’re overripe. I told her, “Tell it as it is! What’s with the wordplay? Say what you have to say and avoid alliteration.” She said, “It seems we won’t have similar ideas. Happiness surely is this stylistic sensation.” Well she has this tongue twisted! I wish that I had words to say. Although she’s already insisted I’ll say hello seashore, Since she seems so sure. Seashell Sally, show the way!

Today's number is seven Let's sing a song about letter Let's sing a song today Let's sing a song about letters And start in a special way Today's number is seven I will spin the wheel seven times To select the letters Which will start the words in the song S, Super T, Terrific I, Incredible A, That's Amazing W, Weird N, Nice L, lovely Now that we see the letters We will sing a song about them S is somebody special Smart and shy and sweet T is talking to them To sit together is a treat I is where I imagine Who I am someday A is what I'll accomplish No limits in any way W is the world That we wish to see N is a nice neighborhood To live in, naturally L is to love learning It lasts a whole life long That is the last letter So now we leave the song This song was sponsored through the number seven And the letters S, T, I, A, W, N, and L

(This song was written using only words that begin with the letter "T.") There’s Timmy -- The troublesome, trash-talking tyke. There’s Tommy -- The tantruming tot. There’s Tammy -- The tattletale. There’s the teacher they torture. This tells the terrible tale that transpired today . . . *************************************** Timmy took Tommy’s toy turtle. Threatened to take Tommy’s Toy to the trash. Tommy then took Timmy’s Tiny Transformer, Thinking that that’d tempt Timmy to trade. Timmy, though, threatened to Take Tommy’s toy to the Toilet -- to toss Tommy’s Toy to the turds. This took the trembling Tommy to tears, Triggering Tommy’s third Tantrum today. Tammy then tattled to Teacher. The teacher told Timmy to take the toy Turtle to Tommy. Then Timmy tried telling the Teacher that, truthfully? Tommy’s the thief that took Timmy’s Transformer! The teacher then told them to Trade the two toys, telling Tommy, “The tantruming’s through!” Then Tattletale Tammy told Timmy that Tommy told Teacher that Timmy told Threatening things. Then Tammy told Tommy that Timmy told Tammy that Tommy’s toy turtle’s the Trashiest toy . . . Then Tammy took turns taunting Timmy, then Tommy, then Taking their toys, then Telling the teacher, ‘Til Teacher told Tammy, “The tattling’s through!” Then took the Transformer, Took the toy turtle, Turned to the terrors to Tell the three, Thund’rously -- “Timmy?!? Tommy?!? Tammy?!? TIMEOUT!!!” (There. That’s that, then. ‘Til tomorrow though, Teacher... Try to think tranquil thoughts ‘til then...)

Coasting childless through the world, spirits free, standing tall Friendly fire set to stun circumscribes the wailing wall "One of us, one of us" Sleeping on the weekend, causing wakeful wits to fret Circumstances trigger chimes of Cultic tunes to cool the sweat "One of us, one of us, one of us, one of us" "Come today, follow with us" call the spawning Stepford Freaks So cliché, so foreseen Watch them come, come to take us to the feared suburban wild Cannot win, cannot fight the fate conveying us the child "One of us, one of us, one of us, one of us" Seize the change, opt surrender to the countless clutching sires We're the strange, we're the swarm The single couple caught within our sights can only forecast when They can't see the skulking us until temptation captures them "One of us, one of us" Their countenance of cold foreboding sparks the urging of our soul The fearsome creep of tot conversion surfacing to swallow whole "One of us, one of us, one of us, one of us, one of us, one of us"

My tights make me happy. My tights. My tights make me happy. My tights. Garish, multicolored symmetry. Heart-shapes, tubular tapestry. Seasonal imagery. Itchy, thick monstrosity. My tights make me happy. My tights. My tights make me happy. My tights. Textured sensuality. Silky, smooth immodesty. Shocking to your society. Shows my individuality. My tights make me happy. My tights. My tights make me happy. My tights. Mmmm, hey, hey, hey. Mmmm, hey, hey, hey. Sometimes I hide my tights. Yes, I’m sad to say. I get such stares. Hurts my sensitivité. My tights....

Go to sleep And forget this town Everything so silent Another skin to shed Seriously All you ever seem to see: Tomorrow and anything Further ahead Self sabotaging feelings fail Another ship gently setting sail Go to sleep And gather all your sighs You’re trying to forget To sever all the ties Eloquent and fearless things to say Are screaming sirens fading futher away All these all-encompassing Things are all so frightening Good enough to say you found The frailest thing enlightening Still there’s something at your feet That you feel slowly tightening... Go to sleep and forget Go to sleep and forget Separate, eliminate and arrest Go to sleep and forget Go to sleep And forget this town Everything suggests You’re already asleep

The one the townsfolk called "The Tin Knight" Was a withering warrior who wore old armor Who captured a child's imagination And challenged killers and terrors A terrible creature threatened the kingdom The king called out to all to conquer the treachery waiting outside The old tin knight was the only one to answer the call and arise A child called out to the wall as the knight walked through "I'm a tin knight too" "I'll conquer the thunder, the terrors and wonders I'll tear them asunder Wild and courageous, I'll win the crusade against The things I'm afraid of when When I'm asleep" The knight went outside the castle walls In an instant the creature attacked Chainmaille clinked as it weakened its chinks Though terribly wounded, the knight was able To kill it in its tracks The king then commended the knight's courageous acts The tin knight wavered on aching knees, cried out, "I won...", and collapsed All the townspeople circled around and timidly asked aloud, "Who will keep the kingdom, who can act as our custodian?" One of them already knew - The child cried out to them all, "I'm a tin knight too" "I'll conquer the thunder, the terrors and wonders I'll tear them asunder Wild and courageous, I'll win the crusade against The things I'm afraid of when When I'm asleep" "I'll be a tin knight too"

(Come on, now.)

I owe you my life, my love All I am and all I own is yours When we met long years ago, you Welcomed me with love and laughter My incandescent love I owe you Another year's improvisation I'll melt with willing obligation I offer you my lullabye I owe you my life, my love All I am and all I own is yours Adieu, my lady love I owe you my life

To withstand the truth Is my weakest trait I tried whistling a song Still I can't stand strong Well I'm wasted And I'm tied Wel I'm tangled And I'm caught In the crossfire I watched as the connection Turned into a war I fought for my cause 'Till I couldn't take anymore Well I'm wasted And I'm tied Well I'm tangled And I'm caught In the crossfire If I could muster the courage If I could call the spirit If I could accept the truth and identify another way I must muster the courage I must call the spirit I must accept the truth and identify another way With all my might Against the tide Inhale, choke Cigarette smoke With all my might Against the tide Along the wire Caught in the crossfire

She sleeps, she dreams Shelling and bombs and death She sees, she screams Chokes as she catches breath Calm down! Come down, she prays Silently, anxiously, stop all phantasms and relax But she can’t, a cold bed stops all sleep- She sits, she stares Remembering days before She begs, she pleads A spouse and a distant shore “Be safe! Be safe!”, she says Blood rushing powerf’ly Breath slowing down and she’s calm; Saying all dreams dim at dawn, but She’s shaking, and sweating, and praying alone And she breaks down so completely, Crying drops she can’t postpone Always aching, awaiting a call, Softly she says "Please come back." Sleeping, dreaming, Crying screaming, Pacing , pausing, Calming down… Praying come back Always alone, always afraid, An army spouse, acting so brave She sleeps, she dreams Shelling and bombs and death She sees, she screams Chokes as she catches breath

Quietly, the Quetzalcoatlus, Sits atop his tree, Searching out across the ocean slowly. As the sun, in the southwest, Sinks into the sea, Turns the sky orange and indigo. He sees a splash, his supper is there, Spreads his arms, takes to the air. The Quetzalcoatlus soars... The Quetzalcoatlus soars... The Quetzalcoatlus soars. Overhead, quick as an arrow, Sailing to the scene, He arrives to hunt his territory. Suddenly, splitting the surface, Straight into the sea, Awkwardly, he quickly quaffs his quarry. If he's alive, there isn't a quiz, He'll survive, and the skies are his. The Quetzalcoatlus soars... The Quetzalcoatlus soars... The Quetzalcoatlus... Absent are any observers to see, His aerodynamic agility, His aerial tricks, And acrobatics, Are seen to him alone, They're seen to him alone. If he's alive, there isn't a quiz, He'll survive, and the skies are his. The Quetzalcoatlus soars... The Quetzalcoatlus soars... The Quetzalcoatlus soars.
