Introducing... 04:45
lyrics
buy track
Out from the curtain, two figures step out They look to themselves and they share some doubt About if anybody will believe about what they’re startin' A musical odyssey for the heart and for the noggin They play their instruments with sheer ferocity They are the best damn band in all of history I think that’s about it of what I have to say Alright, fellas… time to play

The Fourth Wave 03:42
lyrics
buy track
Coming back to you with a familiar sound It’s got you grooving and a-gliding on the floor with a pound It’s a happy vibe that gives you no worries And all the people screaming is just what Jingles need There was the first and the second and third wave of ska Each one innovating as we all grooved along But it’s time I feel for a renovation Of something that’s nostalgic and that will unite the nation There’s a fourth wave coming from the ground to the top of the music sphere There’s a fourth wave traveling, channeling, battling its way to a new frontier And all we’ve got to show is this tune that we hope will grow Into a fourth wave dominating every music maker and its reign will be aglow Sounds of The Wailers and The Specials echo Through the hollow hollow streets of a ska-less home The tone and the melody go hand in hand So everyone alive, we’ve gotta make a stand This genre shouldn’t die it should be reborn The tunes captivated us not too long ago So come on, I know you really want to join the fanfare Cause those upbeat strokes are gonna make you jump in the air There’s a fourth wave coming from the ground to the top of the music sphere There’s a fourth wave traveling, channeling, battling its way to a new frontier And all we’ve got to show is this tune that we hope will grow Into a fourth wave dominating every music maker and its reign will be aglow Gwen Stefani She doesn’t make music like this no more Bradley Nowell Ain’t alive to tell no tales no more People from 2 tone ain’t around no more Strummer from The Clash ain’t around no more Aimee Interrupter singing Billie Eillish covers When will, when will, when will, when will, when will we discover There’s a fourth wave coming from the ground to the top of the music sphere There’s a fourth wave traveling, channeling, battling its way to a new frontier And all we’ve got to show is this tune that we hope will grow Into a fourth wave dominating every music maker and its reign will be aglow

Mail Me a Slice of Pizza Please 02:59
lyrics

Bethany from work is getting on my nerves again Why do people do what they do? She’s given me a list of things that need to be done Printed out, that list is eight-foot-two And she expects me to be finished by the fourth of July I can only predict my hair will gray I gladly took this job but I don’t know why I ask myself every day No, I don’t have time to go home Only to the post office down the street My fleeting life is monochrome I gotta have a little bite to eat It’s the age of swift communication Everyone’s looking to save some time Don’t bother with a whole damn pie Just send me a single slice Stuff it right in my P.O. box I’ll be there by Sunday night I’m a busy guy (I got stocks and bonds) I just want a little cheesy delight Working at Wall Street surely has its perks I’ve always got oodles of cash But I’m constantly surrounded by vainglorious jerks If I could, I would quit in a flash I haven’t seen my wife and son in ten days or more Why must this be my fatal flaw? No matter where I am, it’s just chore after chore I need a piece of thick crust 'za! It’s the age of swift communication Everyone’s looking to save some time Don’t bother with a whole damn pie Just send me a single slice Stuff it right in my P.O. box I’ll be there by Sunday night I’m a busy guy (I got stocks and bonds) I just want a little cheesy delight I’ll take olives, and bacon, and throw some feta cheese on that pie But if the slice doesn’t fit in my P.O. box, I might just start to cry Email pizzas don’t taste as good, I gotta have some physical kale I dream all day of the singular slice That I need you to mail No, I don’t have time to go home Only to the post office down the street My fleeting life is monochrome I gotta have a little bite to eat It’s the age of swift communication Everyone’s looking to save some time Don’t bother with a whole damn pie Just send me a single slice Stuff it right in my P.O. box I’ll be there by Sunday night I’m a busy guy (I got stocks and bonds) I just want a little cheesy delight

Swiper Murdered My Mom 04:25
lyrics

Down on the yellow road, with my mother in tow The sun is shining, we’re all packed up and riding Walking with our map, and our purple backpack Going to the corn fields, trying to find if the treasure’s real But what do I see, creeping up behind me A sly little fox, and he’s coming for my mom Swiper murdered my mom Swiper took an axe Then he cut her half Right before my eyes I had met him before, but I didn’t know what he had in store Damn that monster infamous, always trying to steal from us I told him no, oh please Swiper no no no Swiper no swiping, Swiper no swiping He said “oh man,” and whimpered back to his hill on the land But further down the track, Swiper prepared his counterattack Swiper murdered my mom Swiper took an axe Then he cut her half Right before my eyes When he was finished, he looked at me with interest A smile on his face, he exclaimed, “you’re too late” He took the axe out, trying to make me down for the count Creeping up to me, I fear that I am dead meat He jumped at me with an evil grin, his blade was nearing my chin My eyes opened to my screams, good god it was only a dream Swiper murdered my mom Swiper took an axe Then he cut her half Right before my eyes

Hex 05:07
lyrics
buy track
Can’t remember if I came here by sea or by land Something that I don’t know and can’t understand has taken hold of the back of my neck and is pulling me down And it borrows time to tell me all that is is self-contained Explains away minutiae that don’t need to be explained Then sends me up again, before it spins me twice around Can you hear the walls? They emit the strangest sounds Objects that I’ve placed before have been moved all around I gotta get to work and I’ve got to get paid I can’t be bothered if it’s real or man-made Can I get directions to the local graveyard twist? I’ve been itching up and down that there was something that I missed I don’t have time for small talk, so please just tell me where to go I never took a proper class on how to raise the dead, and tried to look into the future for some expertise instead Doesn’t matter now — I’ll find it in the hex below Ask me where I’ll be when this city gets left behind Spirits running down the clock and I’m running outta time Got to get my game on; the road has taken a sharp right turn Ain’t no one to teach me all that I can never learn

I Owe You an Apology; I’ve Never Actually Seen Seinfeld 03:17
lyrics
buy track
I need to address this, it's eating me inside Oh, the breadth of my crimes is five miles wide I've been a good man, and our friendship's sublime but I fear your reaction when you hear that I've lied When you made a reference, I said that I got it, We shared a good laugh and our troubles were small I have something to tell you, you're not gonna like it, but it's time to come clean that I've never seen Seinfeld at all I've seen Jerry's face, I've heard of Elaine There's a guy who's got glasses, but I don't know his name It's set in a city, New York or somewhere The extent of my knowledge stops there I'm not completely naïve, no, I've seen some TV Shows like Fargo and Lost are more the ones for me That's not to disparage your show's devotees I respect all forms of art, you see So call me uncultured and call me a swine I hate to admit, it's just not worth my time When life's as short as it is, you have to make your own choice regarding things you take in and the things you decline Well, we all make mistakes and we always regret it Walking is nothing, but you still trip and fall It was one conversation, it's all in the past now, So please just forgive me, and forget this ever happened at all So I've made it clear, now you know the ugly truth — I'm not a fan of Jerry's show I never turned to NBC, years ago, in my youth, with all the time in the world — did I just throw it away? Did I just throw it away? Did I just throw it away? All my time, did I throw it all away? When you made a reference, I said that I got it, We shared a good laugh and our troubles were small I have something to tell you, you're not gonna like it, but it's time to come clean that I've never seen Seinfeld at all

This is a song for the country That makes us feel right at home This is a song for the country That echoes wherever we roam From Washington to Florida and Maine to Arizona you’ll be home There’s no place for which you can hide from the vibrations in the sky Of the song for the country We’ll play the anthem on repeat This is a song for the country No other song shall compete It'll play on all the radios and it'll be on your playlists so you’ll know It'll cover all the billboard spots and will be streamed around the clock It’s the song for the country It shall ascend while the others plateau This is a song for the country And here is the harmonica solo We’ll round anybody that tries to step out of line This is just phase one of the new world order It’s the song for the country There’s no need to change the channel This is a song for the country We’ll repeat this if you can’t tell This is a song for the country Da dee dee dee dee dee dee dee dum This is a song for the country Let’s rewind the tape to have more fun

Can you hear me SAUL I’ve been floating around Space jamming to stars On Charon and Mars Supernova blasts And asteroid clasts Coming down on me Open the doors please Can you hear me SAUL I can’t hear no sounds Xenomorphs and Vulcan tongues Monoliths and kessel runs Space jamming in voids Blackstar holes and Floyd Aren’t you pleased with me Open the doors please

Vampire of Good Vibes 03:43
lyrics
buy track
Well who lives in the scary castle down the scary road? Records say the resident has got no name Who dares to walk the empty moat, where a river once flowed You know that no one’s ever come back the same Well there have been a happy few who have felt so compelled To walk through these doors and into the hall When they return they’re nothing but a shell of their former selves And they don’t remember anything at all I’m the vampire of good vibes No one out there can hear your cries So sit down — I just go to town When the moon starts to rise I'm the vampire of good vibes Take a good look into my eyes Cause they’ll be the last thing that you see before your vibes are all mine “Oh, he was such a pleasant guy,” the people say about their friend “It’s a shame the lifeless man that he became” They don’t know there was a moment when his vibes met their end They say “we wonder if he’ll ever be the same” Oh, if only they knew the look of terror on his face As I rose from my coffin once again I sunk my teeth into his neck — his vibes were gone without a trace Then sent him home with not a memory in his brain I’m the vampire of good vibes You can visit me anytime Don’t be scared, just be aware your vibes are looking so fine I’m the vampire of good vibes I leave all my clients alive Come on in, show me some skin of which I’ve been so deprived Oh, I don’t mean any harm, yes that’s just the way I am You should be grateful that your blood’s of no concern to me I never liked the flavor, too much iron to a gram Good vibes are much more to my taste, don’t you agree? I’m the vampire of good vibes Extremely strong and exceedingly wise I own a yacht, and I’m super hot Just peep my muscular thighs I’m the vampire of good vibes I’ll take zest and zeal of all kinds So sit down — I just go to town when the moon starts to rise I’m the vampire of good vibes

I know I said I wanted to leave for the city But I feel out of place every day of the week I wanna go home Go back southside where I stood out Too many urbanites seem to be just like me I miss the days where I was the indie king I wanna go home Go back southside where I stood out Home is where I wanna be Home is a place I can only dream Home is between two hills somewhere in the funk Home is where I’m a rural punk I’m a rural punk

I feel like I am floating with no care Stuck in my Medusa phase for a while Fluorescent streaks I create in my turns I’ve got no worries anymore I’m running out of time, got the finger on the line A place that no one knows inside belly starts to rot Creeping up in age, Scyphozoa days Coming up in the blink of an eye I can’t even swim, nature is my guide To take me through my life until the end I don’t stay too low or else I’ll freeze to death I’ve got to trust something keep intact I feel like I am floating with no care Stuck in my Medusa phase for a while Fluorescent streaks I create in my turns I’ve got no worries anymore I’ve got no worries anymore

Wyoming 07:47
lyrics

Break away from a winding path of fruitless escapades You’ve seen the Blue Ridge Mountains and the luscious Everglades Make yourself at home and settle down in an open field Just give it time, your soul will heal Oh, to look outside and see there ain’t no one around There’s something captivating 'bout the empty, barren ground A wild horse might pass you by, or a dancing tumbleweed But love the still, it’s all you need The racing games of Louisville will only wear you out Reconsider tangibles you cannot live without Pack your bags and lock your door, we’re leaving yesterday So let your woes just drift away Through your dusty window you’ll be given seeing eyes Let the light come in and let your needs be realized Pull your saddle off the shelf and leave the world behind The things we do for peace of mind --- Wyoming is the place for me and you It was the 44th state to join the crew I know no one really lives there But I heard the weather’s decent, so that’s fair Its name means a big plain And I hear it’s got a lot of deer So will you join me so we can go to the equality state called Wyoming Wyoming Wyoming is the place for me I assure that you won’t be deterred Cause they had the first female governor Wyoming is a place in which I dote It was the first state to give the right to vote (to women) Its name means a big plain And I hear it’s got a lot of deer So will you join me so we can go to the equality state called Wyoming Wyoming Wyoming is the place for me Wyoming gave the Sundance Kid his name Wyoming makes bison free to reign And I don’t want to be disappointing But there’s no Brokeback Mountain in Wyoming (aw, shucks) But Wyoming’s got so much more than that It’s where Rocky trained in Rocky IV, how ‘bout that Old Faithful, Dinosaurs, the first monument Wyoming is the best thing in my life to ever happen Its name means a big plain And I hear it’s got a lot of deer So will you join me so we can go to the equality state called Wyoming Wyoming Wyoming is the place for me

A Great Old One looked in the mirror (A Great Old One looked in the mirror) He looked at his thighs, he looked at his rear (He looked at himself and he shed a tear) “I don’t scare people like I used to” (He don’t scare people like he used to) “I gotta make a change, the answer’s clear” (He’s making a change, gonna cause some fear) Cthulhu’s on the paleo diet (Cthulhu’s on the paleo diet) Cthulhu’s tryin’ to lose some weight (Cthulhu’s tryin’ to lose some weight) Cthulhu’s on the paleo diet (Don’t tell no one — he said to stay quiet) Cthulhu’s tryin’ to lose some weight (He just can’t stand to finish his plate) A Great Old One looked in the mirror (A Great Old One looked in the mirror) He looked at his thighs, he looked at his rear (He looked at himself and he shed a tear) “I don’t scare people like I used to” (He don’t scare people like he used to) “I gotta make a change, the answer’s clear” (He’s making a change, gonna cause some fear) This cosmic god’s on the paleo diet (This cosmic god’s on the paleo diet) This cosmic god’s gonna lose some weight (This cosmic god’s gonna lose some weight) This cosmic god’s on the paleo diet (Don’t tell no one — you’ll start a riot) This cosmic god’s gonna lose some weight (When he’s done, he’s gonna look great)

Took a Wrong Turn 06:22
lyrics

Driving down a backwoods road at night, I lost my way My phone was out of power, and I’d lost my road map earlier that day Just when I was ready to give up and turn around A massive rip in spacetime opened up and tore me through the ground I always knew there’d come a day when God got tired of me But she didn’t know she’d give me some brand new sights to see The wormhole that she planted sent me flying through time and space But I opened up my heart and calmly stepped into this very different place The visions that she must have had of futures yet to pass To drop me in a boundless world where every house is made of glass Not a single soul at fault, no blame to pass around Just one unlucky turn Before you know, you could be tearing through the ground

For your consideration I think this jam can do All the things that Marvin Gaye Prophecized to you But hold up there, what do you see Two pasty boys deep in the beat I know that we don’t look the part But we’ve got soul and that’s a start For your consideration A Grammy nod will do For your consideration This track has got the vibe Tina Turner would be proud Of my voice so smooth as ice Grammys beware, we’ve got a song That’s taken us time to make it strong A buttery finesse to add to the music We’ll show you how to make this groove fluid For your consideration A Grammy nod will do (yeah, take it away Breese) If Ween could do it, then so can we Soul’s not as easy as ABC But we’ve been studying and digging down To make the best soul in this soulless town For your consideration A Grammy win will do
