Your Empanadas
03:54
|
|||
Can’t beat it.
There’s no way you can take your own pulse.
And read it.
With a level head and an even mind.
You’d feel it.
Coming down your veins and into your heart.
That meter.
Counting seconds till we’ve got a family.
Your empanadas are hotter
than Cassius Clay working the sauna
and taking his socks off in August.
The patterns of Saturn are catching
the matching pajamas.
The cat's in your lap now,
and I'm a new dad!
I'm a new dad!
Can't steal it.
There's no way I could replicate your style.
You'd see it.
Crawling down my spine and into my loins.
Your empanadas are sculptures,
the vultures who are the apostles
of culture insist you're a prophet.
The wallet in Mercury's pocket is bursting,
the minions are burning mementos,
and I'm a new dad!
I'm a new dad!
Should I feed him?
He's growing stronger with the passing days
My reason
for this life on Earth rests in his temples
Your empanadas are pictures
of scriptures imagined and realized,
the sea ice is wilting,
We're gilding a statue of Venus
who sees us and whispers good tidings
while fighting the famous
and I'm a new dad!
I'm a new dad!

Overtime
03:21
|

We all think that we’re all working overtime
We all think that we are always on that grind.
You might think that your life is harder than mine,
but who’s to say the grass is greener on the other side?
So we...
Crack our knuckles, count our blessings, pound our chests,
Don’t forget time and again we’ve passed that test.
You need…
We all think that we’re all working overtime
We all think that we are always on that grind.
You might think that your days are longer than mine,
but who’s to say the grass is greener on the other side?
So we...
Crack our knuckles, count our blessings, pound our chests,
Don’t forget time and again we’ve passed that test.
You need to rest. (Overtime!)
You need to rest. (Overtime!)

Squeamish
03:03
|
|||
Hip! I know I’m cool! I feel so raw!
Got me a velvet suit! It’s Mardi Gras!
Now we’re living, laughing, loving – yeah, it’s Saturday night!
And we’re kissing, licking, moaning – in the morning light!
I was looking at her, she was reading my mind!
She asked, “Man, are you deaf?” I said, “You know I’m blind!
If she takes off with my heart, I’ll be close behind!
Care? Why should we now? We’re on that train!
Which are you? Your body or your brain?
Now we’re living, laughing, loving – yeah, it’s Saturday night!
And I’m sipping, smoking, selfies – 1975!
Baby, I will meet you on Cloud 9
Cut the shit, don’t care about your sign
My loving might be a sin, but it’s not a crime!
You know I'm squeamish!
Don't touch me!

How Much Money Is That?
01:22
|
|||
Was born 17 million years ago,
So much different from this, oh yeah.
I’ve seen the children die.
I’ve watched the whole word fry.
But you know, there’s only one question you can ask me.
And how much money is that?
How much money is that?
How much money is that?
How much money is that?

Million Dollars
03:13
|

Oh I feel like I’m a million dollars.
Cashier’s choice,
it seems like I’m a winner.
Scratch and pray,
Point, rip, ascend to power
Scratch, scratch,
Not the last time I’ll need that finger.
In my life, ‘cause they’ll be mine.
When I’m a million dollars.
Oh yes I feel like I’ll win a million dollars
Through this door,
I’ll find the founding fathers,
Take the card,
Shooting tingles through my fingers.
Scratch, scratch,
and let this moment linger.
The future is mine, ‘cause money is time.
And I’m a million dollars.
The future is mine, ‘cause money is time.
And I’m a million dollars.

Guerrilla Town
04:34
|

You don’t have to go to guerrilla town.
You don’t have to fight underground.
You see me, walking on your noonday light
and you can tell the northern sun is here again.
It’s here again!
You will need a friendship wall.
We’re the force on which you’ll call.
You see me, walking on your noonday light
and you can tell the northern sun is here again.
It’s here again!

Take Your Time
05:02
|
|||
You’re taking stock
It’s taking shape
You’re taking sides
You’ve got to take your time
You’re keepin up
and caving in
Where you been
Why don’t you take your time
Yeah you got, you got that, yeah you got that something
You’ve got to move
got to prove
something you can’t
take your time
after the dawn breaks
on the great lakes
no stakes
take your time
yeah you got, you got that, yeah you got that something
Take a minute or two,
you've got a moment to lose.
In rhythm there's a schism
'tween newness and tradition.
Before the cruel decision,
take solace in the mission
of pulling up your pants
and remembering your vision.
Take your time!

Soul Psychiatrist

You're such a soul sensation.
I gotta put you in my backpack.
Don’t you know, you are the first and last to entice me.
Now, I gotta find us some rubber in this hot as steam place.
They’ve got just the thing we need,
we’re in the town where the rich kids feed. (whoa, whoa)
You put the key in the door and then sit at the table
Start doing your dance, and I’ll see you later.
You gotta do it now,
but you’re dealing with a host of traumas (whoa, whoa)
You got this. I got this.
You got this. I got this. Yeah!
You got this. I got this.
You got this. I got this. Yeah!
Maybe you should see a therapist.
A therapist! A therapist! (x2)
You need some help now (x4)
You got this. I got this.
You got this. I got this. Yeah!
You got this. I got this.
You got this. I got this.
Maybe you should see a therapist.
Who loves you now? (x4)
Now stop. And tell me ‘bout your problems.

In a Silent Man's World
04:43
|
|||
You know it’s a man’s world
When you ain’t got much to see.
You know it’s a man’s world,
When there’s nowhere else to be.
Do you see me?
How could you know? Oh, here we go.
You don’t know what you do to me.
Put a man in misery.
Oh, baby. Oh, baby.
I got the feeling now.
Give me the feeling.
You don’t know what you do to me.
Put a man in misery.
Oh, baby. Oh, baby.
I’ve been working downtown far too long.
All I hear is that urban song.
Why must we see where the symbolism is?
How could you have the slightest bit of doubt ‘bout this.
You don’t know! What you do to me.
‘Cause baby, you must love me…
You must love me, you must love me…
as much as I love you.

Ego Death - Part 1
05:01
|
|||
Let's move for the next
Send me there
Let's move for the people and the places that we'll be
Pour out that soul sweat
Into yes
Let's move for the people and the places that we'll be
Take this body home
Finish it
Take this body home and let the rhythm be the guide
I am you, honey
Wild and wet
Take this body home and let the rhythm be the guide.
Nothing’s gonna stop this body from dancing.
Nothing’s gonna stop this body from dancing.
Leave your sweat on the floor, let your feet get antsy.
Leave your sweat on the floor let your feet get antsy.
This is our position,
a new condition
You’ve got to dance your ego to death
Now push it out through your hips and your chest,
We’re gonna melt in the world’s caress.
As the beat lines up with the breath.
Repeat after me...

Margarine, margarine, margarine, margarine.
She says ok, alligator
I say ok, see ya later! Come on!
Margarine, margarine, margarine, margarine.
She’s been working so hard,
Yeah she don’t know she been working all day long!
Margarine, margarine, margarine, margarine.
She took a dip, I took a dive,
We took a swim into the deep ocean.
