1.	Rabbit Season 02:50	lyrics	buy track
Rabbit Season If you wanna eat a rabbit, Then you gotta catch it first If you wanna break a habit, Then you gotta get one first Well we came to the fair at exactly the right time You're in the back room, circumcising my soul with your tequila and lime Our eyebrows move with atomic perfection The eyes dart aimlessly, that whole scene was a swollen infection I was talking around, Just the right time I wandered aloud, Just the right time On the souls of Natives sneezing While the children yelp And die down completely deserved On golden days of yore You ask a favor, wheels spin ‘round And some advice I duly serve Shake the fleas off And give them the necessary precautions… While I do so adore these auctions Just let me please run ‘cause If you wanna eat a rabbit, Then you gotta catch it first If you wanna break a habit, Then you gotta get one first If you’ve spoken out of turn and found a target on your head Then you got what you deserved, a hundred gigawatts of lead Bitch. I was talking around, Just the right time I wandered aloud, Just the right time
2.	Zenith 04:52	lyrics	buy track
Zenith Ian danced out his steps Followed by mom and dad Given the value of X We strut off to things we had But Tommy’s gone to fight for the war Hitting all the anvils of lore Reproducing 'til you were sore Turbulent affections galore But they knew again to stop the music They beat the nonsense out of her 'Til they began to hear the Pins and needles shake me As these things get very small Trashed... Who knows when it’s done Whether or not it’s me Singing about the alarms Counting down starting from 3 But Tommy’s gone to fight for the war Hitting all the anvils of lore Reproducing 'til you were sore Turbulent affections galore But hey, why the face, there’s nothing to it They shocked the membranes till they quivered We had gotten down and Pressed our thoughts on sound just Not quite seeing what we’d lost Opened up and sucking sulfur Gears have turned, the day is done Sacred souls and muscles flexing Opened up and sucking sulfur... But they knew again to stop the music They beat the nonsense out of her 'Til they began to hear the Pins and needles shake me As these things get very small Trashed...

Esoteric Dope Man I gotta go Galapagos I gotta see, I don’t believe A lot of birds, A lot of words But now I feel relieved And I won’t leave But if I prove that this thing moved Well call me Fire Steed! Now don’t stop This ride I’m not the one to have my fun It’s on the run, I’m fucking done Get my gun, I’m number one And tell me if I’m Wrong today I’m not wrong okay If I succeed today We have to breed okay Fire-breathing Fire Steed! Galapagos.... I am down, just look around This thing can make a squeaky I am bummed, I’m coming down This dope man here is freaky Up and down, all of these people here They wanna meet me Winding down, I hear a scoff This dope man here is freaky

5.	Copernicus The Capricorn 05:39	lyrics	buy track
Copernicus The Capricorn Copernicus the Capricorn Was Feeling just a little torn When I told him that he could not just Disprove all he wanted We settled all our discord when we Made our trades and promises he Never really spoke much ‘til he Thought about philosophy This is what I’ve come to know That he and Henry Dave Thoreau Just both needed a little break I think they learned this from the snake If you ever knew Van Gogh Or had a friend to overflow Your process, you would know that it was Okay, okay, okay, okay Hold on Proved you wrong Proved you wrong again Copernicus wants to go out So we left home and ran about ‘Til he began to have some doubt When he looked at the sky I told him not to light the flame And stay calm to remain the same As everybody else because it’s So bad to be different Still the thoughts ignited truth But he would never stop his sleuthing ‘Til he could united the youth and Break down all the walls, yes He went on and changed the world In his own way for all the girls He’d never even met but that was Okay, okay, okay, okay Hold on Proved you wrong Proved you wrong again Copernicus began to see The natural philosophy That led him to rewind the clock On everything we thought Foundations of the greats applied The spheres of heaven all had died To let the stars revolve, collide And go around the sun now Clergymen and skeptics fought Astronomers and thinkers sought A legacy of basic thought And I just watched and pondered My dear old friend had died alone A book laid down upon his throne Before his mind was known but it was Okay, okay, okay, okay Hold on Proved you wrong Proved you wrong again
6.	IN/side 04:08	lyrics	buy track
IN/side You wanna be a martyr but you just can’t find the door The games begin at midnight for Olympia-made terra corps Backing through the aisles when they thought you were done Well it’s all over now because you’re stunning with your ray gun Conquistador You wander in the amazon, it’s nineteen eighty-four Their orders give a luminescence, Back-a-little, back-a-little ALRIGHT Stop Repeating yourself Stop repeating yourself Repeating yourself Repeating yourself... A priest has found a donkey A triple-tested monkey A liquid form of chunky Some Titien where it’s spunky, thinking This is the end of the song ALRIGHT Stop Repeating yourself Stop repeating yourself Repeating yourself Repeating yourself
7.	Colin 03:26	lyrics	buy track
Colin He fired his psychiatrist Due to lacking of the socio gist Freud be damned, they can do the twist Fuck them all, he doesn't need his cane to subsist I was reading Nietzsche, I was feeling kind of preachy When his girl was getting leechy with me Got a little fetish for them people speaking Lettish But I doubt that he would get it for free Wearing a nosebleed-stained tight shirt set to destroy Looks like he's been creepin' on little girls again, boy Visually verbal on his way to the car Viciously verbatim, he can quote Bill Maher His voice is very weak, he's on his way to Qatar His mother says hello Wearing a nosebleed-stained tight shirt set to destroy Looks like he's been creepin' on little girls again, boy
8.	Homo Inferior 05:09	lyrics	buy track
Homo Inferior I climb the trees to get a better view Just for a better view And they just push me out Once I had felt that I just never knew I got the better view But that just narrowed the doubt I was an insect My thorax was busted Inspector inspected The camera had rusted My lung pace had quickened And bowing towards Mecca This wasn’t the answer But it’ll do I was done walking before I was kicking and I had fun talking without their permission but I was relentless in picking the apple I found the man who was behind the curtain Yet I could not lift it, the weight of it shook me good In the fray, the wolves are waiting for me Not today said the man on the tower In the fray, we broke into connection Having dinner with the naked and the dying girls In the fray, the purple-headed ladies Not today say the lock stepping powers In the fray, the broken dancing women Holding presents for the naked and the dying girls In the fray, the purple-headed ladies Not today say the lock stepping powers In the fray, the broken dancing women Holding presents for the naked and the dying I Fell back down to my real size Lost all words and rose back up I Fell back down to my real size Folded, small, yet magnetized I climbed the trees to get a better view Just for a better view And they just pushed me out Once I had felt that I just never knew I got the better view But that just narrowed the doubt
