1.Call Off The Invasion/Flydocious Invasion


Get ready for the invasion,
Self-satisfied smug-rock nation.
Cheers for the Young Idea!
So glad you're all here.


2.The Pharmacist V. The Secret Stars (Version: To Decline)

You're invited based on demise.
Divided by what you need and what you despise.
But take a minute to review your company.
Does it take courage to refuse their money?

Did you whisper 'courage' when you kissed the enemy?
Did it take courage to accept their money?

You're invited to decline.
You're invited to decline.
Decline-ine-ine...


3.Walking Through

Walking through a life you'll find,
It's so easy to get hung up, these troubled times.
It's so hard to know what's right to do.
Just go on walking through...

Hold on to what you've been taught.
Now you're burned by all the lies that you once bought,
And all the demons they created you once fought.
Has it all been for naught?

And by now I've gotten used to the cold,
Without a heavy coat to call my own.

And as we walk on through,
Past the church and the school,
In bloomfield, or whatever you say
Well I'd like to be robbed,
But there aren't any jobs that would suit me anyways.

So walking through a life like mine,
Well wear the crucifixications they've fixated to your mind.
You find no matter what you try to do,
They're gonna put that cross on you...

And by now you've got used to the nails...


4.The 'Nice People' Argument

All through the South, I had trouble at crossing the street.
Cut out the cradle, still rocking, but aimless and endlessly
missing the beat.
And I can't shake this cold, as boredom turns into sleep.
And who you gonna hold to all the promises you don't keep?

And yes, I'm sure we'd all agree that they're all very nice,
But on the plane to New York, well, it made me think more than
twice.
And brother, they still won't listen, so you got to choose your
side.
And all your talk is just so much pissing, if you're just along
for the ride.

So don't you mess me around because I'm coming on strong.
I'm going back underground. C'mon, we been up here too long.
Sister, it's cold outside, so come on in where it's warm
And it feels like home,
And it feels like home,
And we're home.

6.The King Of Time

As I was flowing on St. Ide's,
My tongue got tied up ooh-seven times,
And every signified took on seventy signs,
Like everyone has ooh-several lives.

And all the wonderful words you speak!
And the world comes into shape around them, oh-oh!
And the dangerous company uh-you keep --
Where everyone's holding on to one and other's stories for
support!

So 'when I get to troubles with language,'
Well you see why it's hard to make the words 'so heavy' fly.
And I'm on a mission to recognize
This context we create in linear time.

And all the wonderful words you use!
And the world comes into shape around them, oh-woah.
And the desperate company uh-you choose --
Where everyone's holding onto one and other's stories for
support, so!

Like, is what you say what you say, aside
From the story that I write that brings you into focus in my
eyes?
And when you liberate words, do you liberate lives?
And would I then be the King of Time?

9.Set You Free

When you came to me, when I was on top,
Well your songs blew through me -- sounds like wind that just
crushes then lifts you back up.

Well I made a decision, and we suffered the costs,
And a year was spent wishing we'd not fear what we love and get
back what we'd lost.

We used to be inspiring -- we used to be inspired.
But have you tired of me? I know I've been tiring, but babe I've
just been so tired.

Now here's something that you know, and sometimes you know too
well.
And if reminding is needed, it's probably myself that I got to
tell --
You are free --
Free as anyone could be,
Free as anyone could be --
But don't just take it from me.
Don't just take it from me.

You are free --
Free as anyone could be,
Free as anyone could be --
But don't just take it from me.

It's not for me to say,
But either way, you are free.

10.The Northeast Corridor

You can stretch your arm out,
And you can keep your people at that length for as long as
they'll stay.
And you can't tell everyone everything,
And not everyone needs or wants to hear everything anyway.

But for me, it's alright --
I can wait until the end of the night.
So when I tell ya four and four makes eight,
And ya tell me that haste is gonna make you waste,
Just remember not to lock the garden gate,
'Cause I'm comin' when ya call,
But I'm four hours away.

But for me, it's alright --
I can wait until the end of the night;
And for you, it's o.k. --
Everyone's gonna tell ya what they wanna hear anyway.

And not everyone needs or wants to hear everything anyway.

But for me, it's alright --
I can wait until the end of the night.
So when I tell ya 4+4=8,
And ya tell me that haste is gonna make us waste,
Just remember not to lock the garden gate,
'Cause I'm comin' when ya call,
But I'm 4 hours away.

But for me, it's alright --
I can wait until the end of the night;
And for you, it's o.o. --
Everyone's gonna tell ya what they wanna hear anyway.

12.Friends And Bands

We've gone the wrong way 'round.
It was our first mistake.
Turn the Beagle around.

Shank shipped and shoppers suck it down --
Mama's first mistake, but I'm turning it down!
Was it what you ate? Is it weighing you down?

Friends of mine think they can carry on just being in a band --
But Caroline, Dapper Dan, the blood's not only on, but in your
hands.

Yeah!


13.Head In The Freezer

We're caught in a wedge between 'we' and what you want out of
me.
I'm freezing my head, just to see what the freezer can show me.
Been pulling my share -- even more than what my share should
have been.
You'll be caught in a web without me, and I'm not sorry.

We came to sail the seas, but we blew it off too long.
Now it's come to be, and I knew it'd feel wrong.
What becomes of me? I don't know, but I know I'll get along --
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah!

14.(Version: To Decline To Take A Shower)


But take a minute to review your company.
Does it take courage to refuse their money?
Refuse their money!

Decline-ine-ine...
Decline-ine-ine...
I used to know this boredom
I used to yeah yeah yeah


15.Congressional Dubcision

But I can't feel the rain

(Listen and beware. The offending hand inserts itself.
Changes everything. Re-contextualizes everything.
Take your troubles to your representatives:The Congress of
Children.
No punishment, no shame. They welcome you.)


16.(Version: Whisper: Courage)

Did you whisper 'courage' when you kissed the enemy?
Did it take courage to accept their money?


17.Sm 11:11/The Trumpet Of The Martians


18.(None)

When I get to troubles with language,
The fate of the whole world is what's at stake --
I look at the liberties I take, and look past those words to
what's your own --
And bring those words of your back home, because words are all I
know.

When this dialectic gets boring, I think about the words of the
Mode E --
If I could choose the mode I'd like to be, I'd choose to be with
you.
Ooh-I know, it's really not a mode per se, ooh-but so?
I'd choose it anyway, and find a new mode with every name you
name.

So give me a name for your hair down and coffee in your Federal
Hill cafe --
Just like you named the weekend of dolce days.
And name my nervousness, ooh-won't you? And all my inadequacies
-- name them too.
And just like this tape machine -- how I snaked you!
And how the Farinas say, 'I sawel you' And your favorite dinner
of glowing tofu.
And how I'm at least 4 names ooh-to you.
And how you touch all the lives you move through.
And how language proves that it's YOU
who's got a sexy mouth.
