WATERPROOF IS LIGHTFAST The snow white man keeps knowing my brain He uses the telepathic the magical pain Leaving my damn house only to forget my keys The pen eraser starts shrieking please There was a man, and his rifle Near San Diego crime Oh, I saw it! No, you didn't So it was a pleasure but not mine I think he uses the leak and the carrot wine The buffalo bread and the silk worm line I'm water proof I can clear my sight Maybe with the bag I'll win the fight Leaving my damn house only to forget my keys The pen eraser starts shrieking please There was a man, and his rifle Near San Diego crime Oh, I saw it! No, you didn't So it was a pleasure but not mine

SNAILSPOTTING The Finnish singer spat on the ground Abbey Echo that typical sound The underground choir, the psycho beat It's something you don't hear when you normally seat The tuna tin The trumpet sin All the snake's skin Let the snail race begin The coffee sugar took the lead I've lost the race really 'cause I can't read There's a seagull flying and is like a gun She throw garbage just for the fun The crumb you gave to the innocent lark The one you withdraw from the dark Made it flabby started to fizz And it just came out with the usual sneeze The tuna tin The trumpet sin All the snake's skin Let the snail race begin
4.
TRADE SEX FOR LOVE I've tried to reach out and I've failed Now my head is blowing You've trapped me in the past girl That's why I hate you darling If you wanna be bad First you gotta Trade sex for love I don't know why I love you You're so full of buts I'm like a toy in your hand Life really fucking sucks Why are you hiding from me I've been learning to live But my heart is so crazy Why won't you believe If you wanna be bad First you gotta Trade sex for love Maybe I'm changing inside Maybe I'm just foolish
5.
THE TRAIN ROBBERY Ware your feet after the cat But don't let the carpet get on the trap There is a mainland on the pirate train They have your hat man, you can use my crane The train robbery Good looking misery I've got skills, no sympathy You'll see the naughty poem down the corner You are quite a feat man just don't bother You can run, can you cut the rope? Sorry big man only buying your hope There is a rat who used to be polite Now he's a rebel getting on the fight The magic box started the transmission Where's the yellow girl, the science fiction? The train robbery Good looking misery I've got skills, no sympathy
6.
Baked Beans 03:20
BAKED BEANS Isn't your house near the great spoon town? Don't you know your floor is hiding the crown The radio line keep it warm inside Isn't the dog swimming in pride? Chess titans playing like creeping dogs Isolated rooms, no sneaky fogs If you don't have the walking finger You'll have no nuts, no singer The beast ate the parrot voice Baked beans to cure the choice Call the viking, the medieval source The dynamic case saved to the bone The suit, the glove, and the freaking phone The man, the can and clicking stroke Don't let the dog freeze give him the coat Throwing all the kid's stuff to the ground Walking like dogs spinning around Leggings like legalized marching bands The scotch pipe to enjoy the fans The beast ate the parrot voice Baked beans to cure the choice Call the viking, the medieval source
