The songs...
Big Mighty Going (M.Nickras)..........0:45
Some people are just confusing
Yesterday I was confused
Childlike and once amusing
Yesterday was screwed all over
Won't they give me what
What's that they told me
Big, mighty going
Yeah that's it
Big, mighty going somewhere
Big, mighty going somewhere
Yesterday I was confused
Big mighty going someone
Big mighty going someone
Yesterday was screwed all over
Infandous (J.Nickras)..........0:56
We died when we 42
Doing what we do
We thought we people
We thought we people thought
We thought
We people
We big head
Breaks up the waves
A shallow grave for a shallow man
We thought we people
A flock of birds
We thought we people
A coat of fools
We thought we people
Pie Cherry Pie (J.Nickras)..........1:25
I went there
Way over there
Yes I'm there
Why am I there
Pie cherry pie
My cherry pie
The car is stalled
There is an emptiness inside
Pie cherry pie
My cherry pie
My cherrie pie
Life is a cherry pie
My head is in a pit
Should have quit long ago
Why did I finish this song
A forceful write-up
My cherry pie
I gets the pie
I gets the pie
I gets the pie
I gets the pie
Fast (M.Nickras)..........1:35
I see, at least I want to see you
I saw, where the sky seemed quite wonderful
The purple haze, while the sun set
Brought me back down
The houses that I walked past
Brought me back down
Our gaze was so fair
But the distance, untraveled
Brought me back down
I, friend, the one who was there
I saw, where the light seemed so wonderful
You stare, in the night warm clear
I see, with a knife, through yards of thick
A yellow dusk, while the sun set
Brought me back down
Houses that I walked past
Brought me back down
Our gaze was not there
The distance, the void, came
It came so fast, it comes to me here
Pay for Your Sodie Pop (J.Nickras)..........1:06
There's a little hole in a city
Where the people come for food
The timing was so right
The crowds crowd it every night
There's a little hole in a city
Where the people come for food
The hole got so old
People no longer came-would rather not eat
Now there is no hole in the city
Empty buildings, growing older
That people drive by
And look at
The Scourge and the Hominy (J.Nickras)..........1:45
No more fears
No more beers, no more tears
You don't need any of this
No more school, or being the fool
No more thought, no more action
You don't need any of this
You don't need any of this
It's only your life
No need to make a fuss
Open windows and crowded streets
Missing in action and missing the action
There's no need for that
It's only your life
No need to follow the rules
Jim Blow (Stü Art) [instrumental]..........0:26
Where We Are (M.Nickras)..........2:06
Do they want us to stay where we are
(chorus)
It feels so long
And I want more
Since it feels so wrong...to meThat is me for you, for you
But you are there
When you are there
I see your face
And you are wasting away
Alone...you're always alone
That is you to me, for me
It is wrong, it is gone, it is wrong
You are more, you are there, I am here(chorus)
We are not, each is it, we are not
I see your face, I see your face, I see your face
And your thoughts, and your thoughts, and the answers are there
I ask and you ask and together decide
Do they want us to stay where we are?
Runt (Stü Art) [instrumental]..........0:30
5 Bullets in the Head (J.Nickras)..........1:07
Sunday
Sleep, sleep, me sleep
Monday
Sleep, sleep, me sleep
Funday
Sleep, sleep, me sleep
Some people say to grasp life
To live it all
Be happy all your day
But when all that is between us
Is a pile of food
And all you can taste is your pillow
There is nothing to say
I want to eat your chocolate bunny
I will chew off your head
And then go to bed
Wanna sleep all day
And then sleep all night
But it will never be
All you bastards of having a life
Yellow Mountains (J.Nickras)..........1:24
Last year I told the mountains
To leave me alone
Wait around another millennium
It all comes crashing down
Upon our little backs
Without our little whispers about
What is right and what is wrong
But now I'm fourteen hundred years old
And I am kind of tired
I'm fourteen hundred years old
Don't throw me a bone for crying out loud
A Pinewood Party (J.Nickras)..........1:43
I'll miss the dawn
And the coming of sleep
And the light's escape
I'll miss the lifeless field
Of harvest in the winter
That pass our eyes as we move from city to city
I'll miss faces and thoughts
Of your habitats
Who always had their ways
I Write With Pencil (J.Nickras)..........1:52
Go ahead and save the day
What difference does it make
I'll be a 'leavin anyway
We've overstayed our welcome
I've grown pessimistic
And you've grown bigger
Do we really need any of this
Really any of this
I remember the good old days
When the good guys were so bad
And we'd forgive them
And they give us all back
My hero would stab another
In the back and break a window
Then run away free
Do we really need this
Any of that
Lonely Evening (M.Nickras)..........0:44
Won't you let me run away
Don't you see, I hate this place
Can't you see, It doesn't change
Won't you make me whole again
A Trip to a History Museum (J.Nickras)..........1:03
I am a god to my people
That's what I tell myself
But I have no people
And I don't have the right
Divine right to a manifest destiny
I never did
My slave and servants don't amount to matter
They never did
Then the head on the wall stopped talking
The head was never speaking
The End (M.Nickras)..........1:20
It's so dark in this place
Far away from home
A light in the corner keeps people awake
I just want to sleep
They've made it so light outside
People are so unkind(chorus)
Flares are that way
Night from day
As we all fade awayChildren, children
You must play that way
Forget about that potential today(chorus)
Thanks to...
anyone and everyone who deserves to be thanked
