Lonely Pet 02:51
Is it the same You're an animal Am I to blame I'm an animal Hey baby Let's play I'm really upset Is it the same When you're all alone Am I afraid When I'm all alone Hey baby It's plain I'm really upset Every night I sleep in your arms Every day you feed me and leave me Is it the same is it your routine Am I the same Waiting to be seen I'm just a lonely pet I'm really upset I'm just a lonely pet I'm really upset It's so illogical I'm really upset

living in the past and we ain't going nowhere never going back so we're all first and last we're living in the past when we was young it sure was fun but we grew and we got really sad now we don't care for toys but still find joy in the same old hereditary paths living in the past and we ain't going nowhere never going back so we're all first and last we're living in the past now we all learned to spell But still can't tell who we are or how to keep us sane now we're following the man who claims we can save ourselves just by bludgeoning our brains living in the past and we ain't going nowhere never going back so we're all first and last we're living in the past as the crowds begin to mass we can all raise a glass to living in the past never going back are we all fading fast from living in the past

Go Back Down 03:39
I hate the sound of this heart beat beat in my bed I hate the sound of this heart beat beat in my bed when I go back down when I go back down I won't come back I think I need some help but I ain't gonna ask well I think i need some assistance man i never wanna have to ask when I go back down I won't come back I pay my bills follow the law I go to work on time but something keeps me up at night I can't rest my mind when I go back down I won't come back

Another sign of the Pistachio Kid A trail of shells leads to where he hid The grand chase for the bandit begins The pile is feet in diameter and height He must have been here overnight Pistachio Kid knows how to blend in We never know where he is Only where he's been No one knows what he looks like -- We only know his appetite for pistachios His inability to pick up his mess makes everybody want to wring his neck oh yeah! He'll probably grow up to be a jerk The nut farmer gets a whole lot of work while we shake our fists as hard as we can What will become of Pistachio Man Shaking our fists just as hard as we can We dread the reign of Pistachio Man

Every morning, any night Yeah they're lookin for a fight All erratic and crazed It gets worse every day Kamikaze highway Everybody here drives Like they wanna take your life All I think is god, please Don't kill me Kamikaze highway No they're not like you and me But now it seems they're multiplying All the terrorists with cars They never want to make it home Will I make it home? (No!!!) No I've never wished death Now I'm holding my breath Look left look right and I see they're coming for me Kamikaze highway

stuck in the television age o how we like to be afraid o how we like to be amazed and nobody is ashamed I haven't seen you in a while that was when we used to smile now I'm smaller than a child this whole world is going wild and it's not for me but I can't let go when will I enjoy the show nobody cares about the facts don't you ever talk back conversation is a trap just blow 'em off the fucking map and it's not for me but I can't let go when will I enjoy the show

I'm a man I'm a sensitive guy I let you know, you don't have to wonder why but you don't know what I want It's not the curve of your back or your eyes or your sigh you make me go, you don't have to wonder why but would you feel bad to understand I kinda like it when you go and lose your head I'm a man, I'm a delicate guy Can't always say I got something on my mind but you don't know what I want You look so good, work so hard I could cry I feel distracted and you have to wonder why but you don't know what I want but would you feel bad to understand I kinda like it when you go and lose your head giving in the upper hand I kinda like it when you go and lose your head every man understands OW!

Time 02:34
there's really no time to do much in this life, I know keep calm, keep nothing in your head at night eyes are open deadlines all hanging in the air our minds angle up and down but we can give you love but you keep running out of air but can you feel the love or can you feel there's really no time to do much in this life I know

I was lost I was afraid I was alone I should have stayed But now you're here It couldn't wait I was wrong Out of the gate Never thought that I was gonna wake up and throw it all away But we can't save trouble for another day When you cry I fall apart but I don't know where to start but now you're here it couldn't wait I was wrong out of the gate Never thought that I was gonna wake up and throw it all away But we can't save trouble for another day

Jacques Cousteau wandered too far last seen in a photo taken by his best friend on the coast of Var Jacques Cousteau could hear sonar by watching dolphins navigate through the straits of Gibraltar ----- we followed you into the ocean greeting every creature with a new name ----- Jacques Cousteau never makes it hard to understand all the things (that scientists fold in their arms) scientists say are not ours Jacques Cousteau meet Jean Michel-Jarre - he'll write songs to play in your deep sea saucer ---- spending time with the rays and coral and sponge spying ship wrecks with the help of your aqua-lung ---- young Jacques costeau sent us a postcard posed in spacesuit swimwear holding fish like stars Jacques costeau we want to know how you are we still can't find you and we've been searching hard ----- constellations drawn from points pinned on a map we couldn't track your coordinates ----- Jacques Cousteau wandered too far last seen in a photo taken by his best friend on the coast of Var
