Well I’m sure I’m faster than something
And I’m probably stronger than something else
I can leap over other stuff in a single bound
But on the other hand you know I could just walk around
You might call me Captain Ambivalent
You might call me Captain Ambivalent
You might call me Captain Ambivalent
And then again you might not
Well I heard you were kidnapped by The Terror
And he swears he’ll make you marry him tonight
I suppose I could go running off to rescue you
But you might grow to love him given time
You might call me Captain Ambivalent
You might call me Captain Ambivalent
You might call me Captain Ambivalent
I don’t really care
Well I might have some special powers
But then again maybe I don’t
And I might save you from yourself
But then again maybe I won’t
Though I find it hard to try
Sometimes it’s harder not to try
This song just might be over soon
I can’t decide
You might call me Captain Ambivalent
You might call me Captain Ambivalent
You might call me Capitan Ambivalante…
And then again you might not
I don’t care, I can’t decide yeah
Captain Ambivalent
I don’t care, I can’t decide yeah
Captain Ambivalent
I don’t care, I can’t decide –
Captain Ambivalent
Oh, yeah

Pizza Girl
02:38

Every Sunday night in my misspent youth
We would get together to play D&D
We’d take out our dice and we’d take out our books
And we’d order a pizza just so we could see Pizza
Pizza Girl
Pizza Girl
She’s cute, she brings our pizza
That makes her the woman of our dreams
Well we know she likes football and we don’t like football
But we put on the game to pretend we’re not geeks
We try to engage her in some conversation
We nod and we smile like we know what she means
Pizza Girl
Pizza Girl
She’s cute, she brings our pizza,
Frankly what more do we really need?
Every Sunday night in my misspent youth
(O.K. I lied it was just last week)
We got together to play D&D
Ordered a pizza, just so we could see
Pizza Girl
Pizza Girl
She’s cute, she brings our pizza,
Frankly what more do we really need?
Pizza Girl, Pizza Girl
I’m calling Pizza Girl
Pizza Girl, Pizza Girl
I’m calling Pizza Girl now
Pizza Girl, Pizza Girl
I’m calling Pizza Girl
Pizza Girl, Pizza Girl
She’s cute, she brings our pizza,
That makes her the woman of our dreams

Rebecca looked up at me and she said suddenly
“For Christmas I want you to write me a song”
Well I picked up my jaw then I hemmed and I hawed
She said “You have to say yes, ’cause it’s all that I want”
She said “Write me a song about
Write me a song about
Write me a song about
About my reindeer-snowflake Christmas socks”
About her reindeer-snowflake Christmas socks?
Rebecca’s Reindeer-Snowflake Christmas Socks
Rebecca’s Reindeer-Snowflake Christmas Socks
Now Rebecca’s a friend so I should not descend
To puns like “I want your socks” or “socks appeal”
No, that would be wrong! So I’ve got to be strong
I’ve got to toe the line and not be a heel
And still write a song about
Still write a song about
Still write a song about
About her reindeer-snowflake Christmas socks
About her reindeer-snowflake Christmas socks
Rebecca’s Reindeer-Snowflake Christmas Socks
Rebecca’s Reindeer-Snowflake Christmas Socks
They’re soft and fuzzy
Warm and cozy
Comforting, protective
Casual, yet festive
They’re rad, they’re fly, they’re stylin’
When she’s blue they get her smilin’
They’re fashionably well outside the box-
Rebecca’s Reindeer-Snowflake Christmas Socks!
Wrote this song in one day, couldn’t play it right away
She was helping a German girl buy lingerie
Couldn’t think of the name of that thing round the waist
With the straps and the hooks to keep stockings in place
Which, confidentially,
I always thought looked more
Silly than sexy – I’d much rather see
Rebecca’s Reindeer-Snowflake Christmas Socks
Rebecca’s Reindeer-Snowflake Christmas Socks
Rebecca’s Reindeer-Snowflake Christmas Socks
Rebecca’s Reindeer-Snowflake Christmas Socks!

Heisenberg

Well I know this is the time,
It’s just not the place
And I know this is the place,
It’s just not the time
And when I know just where you are,
I don’t know how fast you’re going
And when I know how fast you’re going,
I don’t know where you are
Uncertainty is not just the way I feel
Uncertainty is not just the way I feel
Well you could be here or there,
I’d have to check to find out
And I’ve a feeling you only commit yourself
When I’m watching
Though at least as long as I’m watching,
You’ll probably be there
Though there’s a chance you could be
Halfway across the universe from here
Uncertainty is not just the way I feel
Uncertainty is not just the way I feel

Ain't Got A Clue
02:08

There was a time
Baby all that I wanted was you
Though that kind of makes you sound like an object
It’s not true, I respect you as a person
Was it something I said?
Was it something I did?
Was it something I didn’t say or didn’t do?
[PG version:]
Was it the way that I smiled and called you ‘kid’?
Was it the way that I grabbed your ass in public?
[G version:]
Tell me how have I sinned? Can’t you give me a hint?
Come on, baby, I just ain’t got a clue
She gave me a dime
Said ‘Go call somebody who cares’
I said ‘I suppose I could call my mother –
But to do that I would need another quarter’
Was it something I said? Was it something I did?
Was it something I didn’t say or didn’t do?
Tell me how have I sinned? Can’t you give me a hint?
Come on, baby, I just ain’t got a clue
I just ain’t got a clue just aint’ got a clue just ain’t got a clue now
I just ain’t got a clue just ain’t got a clue just ain’t got a clue!
She gave me a sign
Made an ‘L’ and that stands for ‘love’
Held three fingers up and said ‘Read between the lines’
Showing me there’s no ring – hey, it’s my lucky night!
Was it something I said? Was it something I did?
Was it something I didn’t say or didn’t do?
Was it the way that I smiled and called you ‘kid’?
Was it the way that I grabbed your ass in public?
Was it something I said? Was it something I did?
Was it something I didn’t say or didn’t do?
Tell me how have I sinned? Can’t you give me a hint?
Come on, baby, I just ain’t got a clue

A hip-hoppin rappin’ homey if your bowl ain’t clean?
Well I saw her there and we started to flirt
She said “Ooh, your bowl is full of dirt!”
I said “Excuse me baby I’ll be back in a flash!”
A little T.B.C. took care of that
And now she said she said she’d be mine!
And now she said she said she’d be mine!
Now I’m the happiest man alive!

Haunted By Waffle Houses
02:48

I’m haunted by Waffle Houses
Why do they frighten me?
Shining out in the dark they
Beckon enticingly
What price do they demand?
What is their sinister scheme?
I’m haunted by Waffle Houses
At night in my dreams
I’m haunted by Waffle Houses
Wherever I try to flee
They gather down in the south like
Birds or retirees
Where all the food is shades of brown
And pork counts as a vegetable
I’m haunted by Waffle Houses
Wherever I go
She poured her warmth and sweetness
Out over all the squares but me
She called me ‘hon’ as though she meaned it
But she didn’t mean it
One time I saw a sign
And it just said, ‘ ffle Hou ‘
But they weren’t fooling me
I found their secret out
Am I just paranoid
Or are they following me
I’m haunted by Waffle Houses
At night in my dreams
I see the Waffle Houses
Marching from sea to shining sea
Twenty four hours a day
And open seven days a week
Until there’s no escape
It’s like an Alfred Hitchcock scene
I’m haunted by Waffle Houses at night in my dreams…
I’m haunted by Waffle Houses at night in my dreams

You know my day job is specialized and technical
Was out of town for training all last week
Studied software every day from eight to five
And on the final night I had a dream
I dreamed that supermodel Adriana Lima was an Amish girl
In a long blue dress buttoned tight saying ‘thou’ and ‘thee’
We’d been courting for a while hadn’t talked about my job yet
She told me if I could explain it to her she would marry me
She said, ‘How is it more than idle vanity?’
(I couldn’t answer)
‘How does it benefit society?’
(I couldn’t answer)
‘How does it keep thy soul from sin?’
I could not answer yet again
So I tried to make analogies between computers and farming
But they’re not simple they’re not humble they contribute to global warming
My day job failed the Amish test
Ah but playing the accordion is really what I like best
She said, ‘How is that more than idle vanity?’
(I couldn’t answer)
‘Is thy accordion plain or sparkly?’
(I couldn’t answer)
I’m so screwed now I’m so screwed now
She said I’d have to give it all up and learn to plough
I dreamed that supermodel Adriana Lima was an Amish girl
In a long blue dress instead of lingerie or less
I woke up thinking ‘Adriana, maybe we’re both off track
And we should head for Pennsylvania arm in arm and not look back
I dreamed that supermodel Adriana Lima was an Amish girl…

The Thousand Mile Song
02:28
|
|||
|
Baby I would walk a thousand miles for you
Baby I would walk a thousand miles for you
Baby I would walk a thousand miles for you
Baby I would walk a thousand miles for your love
But she called my bluff, she called my bluff,
She did the math and it didn’t add up
She called my bluff, she called my bluff,
She called my bluff, she called my bluff yeah
When I told you I would walk a thousand miles
I didn’t realize what I was getting into
I would have to walk a hundred miles an hour
Just to see you tonight
If you were in a westward timezone
I’d gain an hour back as I proceed
And maybe near the arctic circle
Where timezones are closer between
Baby I would walk a hundred miles for you
Baby I would walk a hundred miles for you
Baby I would walk a hundred miles for you
Baby I would walk a hundred miles for your love
But she called my bluff, she called my bluff,
She did the math and it didn’t add up
“At four miles an hour, it would take you twenty-five
And oh, yeah, you forgot the International Date Line!”
When I told you I would walk a hundred miles
I didn’t realize what I was getting into
I’d still have to run faster than a Marathon
To see you tonight
And frankly I’m not big on walking
In fact, I’m kind of out of shape and
More than half a mile, I’m driving
And frankly your love ain’t that great but
Baby I would walk a half a mile for you
Baby I would walk a half a mile for you
Baby I would walk a half a mile for you
Baby I would walk a half a mile for your love

The Message
03:11
|

|
This is the message that I’m leaving
No I’m not leaving I meant the message
The message is not leaving, I am leaving it for you
No the message and I were just good friends
Hey would you mind
Hitting “rewind”
So I can start over again?
This is the message that I left on your machine
That doesn’t mean I stole your bicycle
The message is the subject of this sentence and not me
Not I, I mean, I think that’s more grammatical
Hey would you mind
Reading my mind
Removing the obstacle of words
These are the words that make the message
No, I make the message with these words
I don’t make the words, I just select them
From pre-existing lists of nouns and verbs
And on that list
There’s something I missed
I’ve been saying “that” when I mean “which”
This is the message that I’m leaving
The message that I’m leaving on your machine
I’m talking about recording, not graffitti
And not the kind of which from Halloween
Hey would you mind
Closing your eyes
Pretending this all was just a dream

I was hanging around in the subway
Waiting for the train to go home at the end of the day
When a raggy baggy love child of the sixties
Whipped out an acoustic guitar and he started to play
His hair was long, his beard uncombed
And it seemed from the smell that the man hadn’t bathed in a week
He sang “Love makes the world go round”
I said “Hey what are you man, some type of a geek?”
I said, “You can’t sing, you’re ugly, and the sixties are over”
But he just kept on wailin’ and whangin’ on his thing
I said, “You can’t sing, you’re ugly, and the sixties are over”
He said, “I may not have money, but at least I’ve got a dream.”
I said, “What is this dream of which you speak?
Gotta tell you, it sounds like a nightmare to me!”
He said, “Someday everyone on this platform
Will all join hands and sing in harmony”
And as he said these words, everybody
Stopped what they were doing, looked up, and they all turned around
Yeah they turned to face him, joined hands,
Opened their mouths, and the subway tunnel was filled with the sound
They sang, “You can’t sing, you’re ugly, and the sixties are over”
But he just kept on wailin’ and whangin’ on his thing
I said, “You can’t sing, you’re ugly, and the sixties are over”
He said, “I may not have money, but at least I’ve got a dream.”

If you kids don’t stop asking if we are there
I will turn this accordion around and go home
Now I don’t want to hear another word out of either of you
While I play the solo…
We have been riding in this back seat for a hundred million years
Now Mom and Dad retired my sister got gray hair I grew a beard
I don’t remember where we’re going anymore and I don’t care

They call him Walnuthead
He’s dead
He stalks this night with fright
That’s right, friend
Feelin’ ’round for your headbone
To take it for his very own
And while he tries the fit
He puts a walnut on the stump in place of it
And if it don’t fit, he thinks “What the heck?”
And puts the walnut back on his own neck
It’s kind of hard to see
When you’ve got a walnut where your head should be
So he’s led around by his homeboy Shufflefoot
And as he shuffles, this is what he sings:
Walnuthead
Walnuthead and me
Walnuthead
Nasty as we want to be
He sings, “I’m Shufflefoot
I’m the funky ghoul
While he takes your head
I take your left shoe yeah
We haunt the night y’all him and me
Now let me tell you the story of how we came to be
Our party barge was large, that’s right Sarge,
I pushed him overboard, propeller smashed his gourd,
But I fell over too, it caught my shoe,
That’s why I shuffle like I do
Walnuthead
Walnuthead and me
Walnuthead
Nasty as we want to be”
So don’t go out in the woods alone
Don’t pick up any walnuts you find laying on the ground
‘Cause you never know where they might have been
And the last thing you hear just might be someone singing
Walnuthead
Walnuthead and me
Walnuthead
Nasty as we want to be

Killer Kat

It was thirty years ago right on this very spot
Thirty coeds slain before the cat was shot
Oh yeah, his bod was never found
In fact some folks say that guy is still around!
But I don’t belive it, come along inside
Just stick with me and baby everything will be all right
Tonight we’ll have the party of our lives
What’s that?
(It’s just the cat)
Oh, good.
(Look out, he’s got a knife!)
Well he’s back
He’s a killer
He’s a killer kat
Yes he’s back
Killer Diller
He’s a killer kat
Now over there’s the chair where killer used to snooze
The dusty broken bowl where killer ate his food
The old abandoned litterbox where killer used to poo
(I thought you said ‘abandoned’, dude,
this litterbox is USED!)
Well he’s back
He’s a killer
He’s a killer kat
Yes he’s back
Just like disco
He’s a killer kat
Boogie to the left and boogie to the right
I hear a chainsaw purring in the night
Now don’t pick up the phone, don’t try to run away,
Don’t be making fun of horror film cliches
Don’t be nice to mice, don’t hang around with dogs,
Don’t take your clothes off!
But I don’t believe it, come along inside
Just stick with me and baby everything will be all right
Tonight we’ll have the party of our lives
Come on, it’s just a song!
(O.K.)
(Hey, wait, what was that noise?)

Wait ’til you see it
Hey Carrie
Talking ’bout you all around the school
Hey Carrie
You know the other kids can be so cruel
Hey Carrie
Won’t you let me take you to the prom
Hey Carrie
You know that I would never lead you on
Carrie
Do you want to be queen?
So you want to be queen?
Come on and be it
I’ve
Got a bucket of blood
Got a bucket of blood
Wait ’til you see it
Now you’re gonna get the prom crown
Bucket comes a tumble-ing down
Everyone’s surprised to find
You’re moving objects with your mind
Burn the kids down in the hall
Pin your mamma to the wall
Make those crucifixes bleed
Carrie won’t you marry me?
Carrie
Do you want to be queen?
So you want to be queen?
Come on and be it
I’ve
Got a bucket of blood
Got a bucket of blood
Looks like it’s just what you needed

Run, Will Robinson, Run!
03:27

I tell you life is strange and about to get stranger
The little robot in my brain is shouting “Danger! Danger!”
I asked her out because I thought it might be fun
Now I can hear my inner robot saying
“Run, Will Robinson, Run!”
She drifted through the stars just like a creature from a dream
But when I scanned for scruples there was nothing on the screen
She shot a smile across my bow but no one heard me scream
Before I knew what hit me I was in her tractor beam
I tell you life is strange and about to get stranger
The little robot in my brain is shouting “Danger! Danger!”
I asked her out because I thought it might be fun
Now I can hear my inner robot saying “Run, Will Robinson, Run!”
Run, Will Robinson, Run (hey hey hey)
Run, Will Robinson, Run (hey hey hey hey)
Run, Will Robinson, Run (hey hey hey)
Run, Will Robinson, Run (hey hey)
She blasted through my airlock, her dress was set to stun,
She kissed me on the lips, I said “Am I the only one?”
She said “Of course you are, now how could there be any doubt?
There was your best friend yesterday, but oh, he doesn’t count
Run, Will Robinson, Run (hey hey hey)
Run, Will Robinson, Run (hey hey hey hey)
Run, Will Robinson, Run (hey hey hey)
Run, Will Robinson, Run (hey hey)
And now I’m mixing metaphors, but sometimes I think
I’m doomed like Captain Kirk to date the alien of the week
Those stupid teenage love songs are poisoning our minds
Let’s blast off into hyperspace and leave ’em far behind honey
I am just who I am I’m not who you imagine me to be
I am just who I am I’m not who you imagine me to be
I am just who I am I’m not who you imagine me to be
I am just who I am I’m not who you imagine – whoo!
I tell you life is strange and about to get stranger
The little robot in my brain is shouting “Danger! Danger!”
I asked her out because I thought it might be fun
Now I can hear my inner robot saying “Run, Will Robinson…”

Run, Will Robinson, Run (hey hey hey hey)
Run, Will Robinson, Run (hey hey hey)
Run, Will Robinson, Run (hey hey)
(hey hey)
(hey hey)
(hey hey)
