Orbit 05:07
Venus shines The Perseids soar Sirius sparkles I'm captured in an orbit surrounding you Watch the sea Rise and fall As gravity pulls you I'm captured in an orbit surrounding you I'm captured in an orbit surrounding you Embraced in light Full moon blue Casting shadows I'm captured in an orbit surrounding you

Staycation 04:18
I don't have to work because I've got a whole week off I can't sleep late because I've got to feed the dog I'm on Staycation, what am I gonna do now? I wanna write a song, I got some lyrics in my head But I've gotta change the sheets because there's cat puke in the bed I'm on Staycation, what am I gonna do now? Staycation.... it's better than working Staycation.... it's productive Staycation.... it's like vacation but not as far I tried to take a nap because my head hurt like hell A young bearded kid with a clipboard rang my bell I'm on Staycation, what am I gonna do now? I went to Waterloo for some chicken ranch tacos The sorority girl waitress didn't want to take my order I'm on Staycation, what am I gonna do now? Staycation.... there's no commuting Staycation.... I'm saving money Staycation.... it's like retirement but not as permanent I got a tummy ache because I ate too many cookies I drink the Topo Chico so I'll belch like a wookie I'm on Staycation, what am I gonna do now? I went to Coffee Bean for a ten gallon tea The girl called me Amy and I didn't disagree I'm on Staycation, what am I gonna do now? Staycation.... twitter and facebook Staycation.... epic novels Staycation.... learning to wank on the electric guitar Now I've got a craving for some dutch apple pie It's dark outside so I don't want to drive I'm on Staycation, what am I gonna do now? Now my week off is almost half over I better find adventures or you'll think that I'm a loser I'm on Staycation, what am I gonna do now? Staycation.... it's better than working Staycation.... it's productive Staycation.... it's like vacation but not as far Staycation.... there's no commuting Staycation.... I'm saving money Staycation.... it's like retirement but not as permanent

When I Awake 03:54
If you could dream anything What would you dream? Would you dream of a kiss Or the cover of a magazine? Would you dream of a win Or lose yourself in fur? Would you walk on Saturn's rings Or something more obscure? Dream with me Love with me Be with me If you could dream with me What would we do? Would we live somewhere warm In a house with view? And when you awoke What would you feel? A deep disappointment That the dream wasn't real? Dream with me Love with me Be with me I'd choose the simple dreams The kind that could be true Like socks and drinks and medicine And growing old with you I could dream that I were rich And I could dream away this ache I could dream that we met years ago And when I awake That deep disappointment that the dream isn't true Well, it really wouldn't matter waking up next to you. Dream with me Love with me Be with me

Valentino's 04:55
At old Valentino's the faces have changed But the pizza and breadsticks are still made the same I can taste the memories in creamy italian Where the boys in the back live up to the name I'd have breadsticks delivered to Lantana Hall And the Mosscliff apartment on the second floor On Tuesday nights, you'd get two drinks for free Always a deal for the college kid poor After losing my virtue at Colony Square in a drunken one night stand I confessed to my best friend over provolone cheese on traditional white crust with ranch. At old Valentino's the faces have changed But the pizza and breadsticks are still made the same I can taste the memories in creamy italian Where the boys in the back live up to the name There were heart shaped pizza's on Valentine's day And Patrick was nowhere in sight So Chuck was a sweetheart and brought me a pie A surprise on that cold, lonely night   The Valentino boys out on Ranch Road 12 gave a party on New Year's Eve Penny was talking and talking and talking I never knew what to believe There was Monday night bowling at Sunset Lanes With Jacquie, Greg Gold and Greg Payne And March Madness winnings for George and me And billiards at Top Cats with James At old Valentino's the faces have changed But the pizza and breadsticks are still made the same I can taste the memories in creamy italian Where the boys in the back live up to the name Melanie's mother, she stands at the counter offering up the buffet She's been Melanie's mother for 22 years Most of them good, she'd say. That's when she asked me "Who's mother are you?" I told her "I'm nobody's mom." Valentino boy said, "It happens sometimes. It's a personal choice, nothing's wrong." Back in the days when I was thin and naive I thought everyone married in time But I didn't inherit that mainstream gene Now I'm haunted by ghosts from south of my home Where the Valentino boys thrive At old Valentino's the faces have changed There's pizza box art on the walls Melanie's mother, she serves the buffet and the boys in the back still live up to the name At old Valentino's the faces have changed But the pizza and breadsticks are still made the same I can taste the memories in creamy italian Where the boys in the back live up to the name

I see Cinderella's castle from the hotel window Eddie Vedder waits in the car outside I can't find my t-shirt and the toilet's overflowing If Shannon were here, we'd go for a ride Trippin' on the Sandman's Stories Trippin' on the Sandman's Stories Trippin' on the Sandman's Stories Trippin' on the Sandman's Stories The grease in the pan is spattering on the stove From water that's falling from the ceiling My good buddy's brother called me beautiful But I call bullshit 'cause I'm not that appealing Trippin' on the Sandman's Stories Trippin' on the Sandman's Stories Trippin' on the Sandman's Stories Trippin' on the Sandman's Stories The road caved in and water rushed down To an underground city with an antique sign A long-haired musician's instruments of choice were a six string dulcimer and cup of vanilla pudding Trippin' on the Sandman's Stories Trippin' on the Sandman's Stories Trippin' on the Sandman's Stories Trippin' on the Sandman's Stories In a jersey with green and white numbers I took the football in for a score And when a girl makes a score you kick the extra point closer Like the ladies tee at the golf course Trippin' on the Sandman's Stories Trippin' on the Sandman's Stories Trippin' on the Sandman's Stories Trippin' on the Sandman's Stories

With slowing breath Your last one weak A crossword abandoned to kiss your cheek The things I have left A drill and a flag A puzzle you made with your ink-stained hands Sometimes I sense you You're watching me still You helped me like no one else ever will Daddy I'm so so sorry You thought we gave up on you By relieving your pain and helping you through Two angels calling to try to take you home Please send them away for one more day The things I have left A shirt and a gauge A photograph holding a fish at the lake With slowing breath Your last one weak A crossword abandoned to kiss your cheek

I just ate a carrot Carrot Do you want me to put some of the chutney on top because the chutney tastes good the chutney tastes good I just ate a carrot She gave me the avocados because they're funky fruit Funky fruit Funky fruit I just ate a carrot I derive great pleasure from fried wantons I derive great pleasure from fried wantons I just ate a carrot x 5 Carrot Women can multi-task, men can't Women can multi-task I just ate a carrot Sometimes I go in there and they totally ignore me while they talk with their little asshole friends who wear these big glasses Napkingate is hereby concluded Napkingate is hereby concluded I just ate a carrot x 5 I'm good at that Do you want me to put some of the chutney on top because the chutney tastes good I just ate a carrot Yes, you did (Kevin speaks)
