THERE GOES THE NEIGHBORHOOD
On the tube, on the moon, on the radioIn the groove, on the move like an animal
Blast the fashion, squeeze the ball, take the action and make for the walls 'cause...there goes the neighborhood
Throw the wrench, in the trench and the gears go downMake the dance, drop your pants and the world goes round
String the puppets, poke the cows, roll the strumpets and hit the showers 'cause...there goes the neighborhood
Time the moment, strike the sceneRide the torrents and push the daisies 'cause...there goes the neighborhood
Lyrics: David McKinnis, Keith Goates
ONE FOOT OFF THE WALL
Tying goldfish smartly on the Parthenon, winding Polish sausages along the wallNow and then these things just don't seem right, pray that all this nonsense will not last all through the night
Plan on who you'll call, one foot off the wall
Spanking monkeys up and down the parking lot, plugging holes you never seem to care aboutSometimes all these things you can't resist, fill the moments between all the nonsense that exists
Plan on where you'll fall, one foot off the wall
Packing doggy bags into the sitting room, polishing weasels with a broken broomNo one told me this could not be done, whack your head and then you wait until it all goes numb
Plan on when you'll stall one foot off the wall
Lyrics: David McKinnis, Keith Goates
SOMETHING OR OTHER
You got the razor boy, how could you exist? You got eraser boy, make whatever fits.
It's all a matter of perspective now, this time the web is going to bring you 'round
You are the wonder boy, why do you persist? You got the hunger boy, watch out where you sit.
With all the things you've said and done before, you've wanted everything and then some more
Looking for the answers boy? Do you have a wish? You've got down the banter boy just say what it is.
You're all you've got, you don't need anyone, there's always some things better left undone.
Something or other has got to give
Lyrics: David McKinnis
CATFISH
Catfish are walkin' across the land, next they'll be talkin' and makin' demandsSoon they'll be wantin' your job and mine, they're up to somethin' there ain't no denyin'
They're kind of sticky and smell like mud, they've got no manners and they eat bugs
Catfish are marchin', they like to sing, soon they'll be barkin' and makin' a sceneThey're out there listenin', watch what you say, if they start whistlin' we're all gonna pay
They're on the outside, that's where they've been, they'll stop at nothing to get back in
Get back...stay back Go back the water!
Lyrics: David McKinnis
HI FI
Inside the wakeup, the caller comes in nine time, outside the Walkup, a throwboy hits the broadside
Alive in the morning, golden river driven sunshine, under the shadows, will something break in my mind?
You used to know me, know you, do you? I know you've seen me, see you, did you?
Alone in the midday, I'm leaving on the far side, and dreaming the good life, I'm riding in at hightide
You wouldn't leave me, lose you, would you? I wouldn't own you, owe you, would I? Hi-Fi
Alive in the evening, silver river driven moonshine, inside the shadows a fire breaks in my mind
Inside the makeup a caller comes in nine time, outside the brake-up, a roller hits the broadside
You think you need me, need you, do you? I have to have you, do I? Hi-FI HI-FI
Lyrics: Keith Goates
WHERE THE HELL IS ROMMO
Rommo in a suit and tie, Rommo not a normal guyRommo make a million bucks, Rommo he got mojo luckWhere the hell is Rommo?
Rommo walking out the door, Rommo he say "never more"Rommo say he can't stay, Rommo got no time to playWhere the hell is Rommo?
He's okay, he's just the same as you and me or what's-his-name but - oh, he's bored.
Rommo into Heidi-ho, Rommo stub the tonka toeRommo never got no more, Rommo got to mop the floorWhere the hell is Rommo?
But we just sit and make our noise, with lots of gear that we call toysSay, maybe Rommo got it right 'cause we're still here on Tuesday night.Where the hell is Rommo?
He's alright he's such a clown and so much fun to be around but - oh, he's bored
Lyrics: David McKinnis & Kevin Goates
I DON'T KNOW YET
Cast out, on the stones, boy scout all aloneOn a wing and a prayer take a step if you darePolitely pick the bones and you'll be looking at the end
Running, fall and tumbleWhat seems so plain lies and waits to be namedQuietly pop the bubble and you'll be running at the end
Look back where you've been, fast track to the endWas the mountain you climbed such a great waste of time?Finally make amends, and you'll be waiting at the end
Lyrics: David McKinnis

THIRD WORLD KARAOKEIndistinguishable lyrics: Keith Goates
SACRED COW
Several thousand people gathered into the streets, the champagne socialists are chanting slogans of the week
What's wrong with this picture? I'd like to know...
Several hundred people choked on sarin gas today, the Aum Shinrikio was just ensuring Judgment Day
What's wrong with this picture? We'd all like to know...
Now you just can't tell me everything's alrightThese folks got nothing better than to dream and scheme all nightThey are here! They are now! They'll gore your sacred cowAnd we'll just sit and watch them on the TV safe and sound
Today a single person helped a person in need, on this the Fourth Estate was silent since no one died in the deed
What's wrong with this picture? I'd like to know...
Lyrics: David McKinnis
DON'T FEED THE MACHINE
I know that you listen, can you hear the fire?You think you can beat it, you'll do it or dieI see that you feel it, can you hold the wire?Ya think you can do it will you give it a try?
All you manage to do is wake it up, all you'll be able to do is crank it up
Don't feed the machine, it won't listen when you tell it, it won't matter what you meanDon't feed the machine, it won't matter if you're missing if you're seldom ever seen
You think that you need it, you're part of the fireYou know you can't beat it, just do it or dieI see that you hate it, you're riding the wireYou thought you could take it 'till you gave it a try
All you managed to do was wake it up, all you were able to do was crank it up
Don't feed the machine, it won't matter how you play it, it won't miss you when you leaveDon't feed the machine, it doesn't matter how you lose it when you're never ever seen
Lyrics: Keith Goates
BREAK DOWN
Wretched eyes and fading smiles, it all seems so important on the wayGoing rates and long debates are with us even when we give and take
Give it a name, something to blame, then watch it all break down
Darkened halls, unanswered calls, the shadows always make us feel aloneOpen fields and comic reels can move us even when we're made of stone
Given the same, would you remain to watch it all break down?
Given the game, what's in a name, when will it all break down?
Lyrics: David McKinnis
AND TOMORROW
Here he comes, there he goes...
They came when the end was not far away out there on the grounds where we used to playThey tried to speak of the day, we did not know what to say
They issued the orders out to us all, not much in the mood was all we recallThey tried to spark our resolve, we would just lean on the wall
"Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow creeps in this petty place from day to day" (Macbeth 5.5.19-20)
They could not believe that we weren't afraid with all that was going on, we remainedThey tried to show us the way, we weren't so sure they were sane
"And tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow creeps in this petty place from day to day" (Macbeth 5.5.19-20)
