The Book of JANK...Chapter 1



1. Crazy Eights

What will you say to me now that I'm gone? I know it's a stretch...
But I had an itch to scratch...& no cream to put on...
Regeneration...a snake sheding it's skin & eating its tail...
Will you save me before my rhythm fails?

Somehow...Somewhere...Someone...passed out...
You better become more conscious...before you fall...

You brought a bucket of chalk that day to outline the sun...Don't let it burn out
Aphelion...Aphelion & on & on
Regeneration...a snake sheding it's skin & eating its tail...
Will you save me before my rhythm fails & I fade away?

How many times can you reinvent yourself?
How many times can you reinvent yourself?

You know it's time to turn those eights over crazy eights over...
Those sevens never brought much luck my way...
Risky buisness all of the time...
I wrote a letter to a good friend of mine...it said...

Somehow...Somewhere...Someone...passed out...
You better become more conscious...before you fall...

How many times can you reinvent yourself?
How many times can you reinvent yourself?



2. Trick Candles, Popped Baloons

Sixteen candles with nine blown out...
Plenty of time to pout...& put the blocks away...to save 'em for a rainy day
From the garden to the grade...sit still in a frame...
Speak when spoken to...& no more nap time for you

I could leave this place any day...& float through the jet stream...
Dissapear...Silence kept for years...

Someone took my breath away...berfore my wish was made...
So I painted my face...like a party baloon...
Pin the tail on the donkey...& get down with the clowns...
Have your cake...& go back for second rounds...
My head will be in the clouds...by the time they get their party favors...
They won't be able to figure out...this birthday roundabout...

I could leave this place any day...& float through the jet stream...
Dissapear...Silence kept for years...
Now...All those years are gone...I'll still sing along...
You may find your rain...on some new trail beyond your window pane...

Who will break my fall? Will you break my fall? Will I bump my head again?
Who will break my fall? Will you break my fall? Will I live to tell the tale?
Could you please forgive me? I lost my bout with gravity
And if you choose to miss me...Please let me get up on my own...on my own...



3. Get Back in the Game

Get back in the game (2x)
Dont 'cha want to free yer name
Before you grow too old

Get back in the game
Dont 'cha want rent free from shame
I never meant to cause you pain
But I can't let my seat get too warm

Can't let it get too warm
Gotta keep it coolin'
Keep those cheeks from harm
& on the movin'

Get back in the game
Life 'll never be the same
whispered words & secrets held so long
upon this open road

Upon this open road
I've been rollin'
Portable abode
For the movin'
Take it day by day
Cruise controllin
Takin' it day by day by day bye day

I don't know...why...I even try...
the time flies bye & I just sigh...
my life away (sigh)

(no more bench warmer... nor couch potato)
Upon this open road
I've been rollin'
Portable abode
For the movin'
Take it day by day
Cruise controllin
Takin' it day by day by day bye day

I don't know...why...I even try...
the time flies bye & I just sigh...
my life away...but I'm o'k (sigh)



4. The Sailor

Sailor sets off upon a paper boat...
As he leaves the moonlit isle...
Flag raised...sail set...a compass in his hand
As he enters the oceans gaze...wandering for days on end...

He's been stranded so long...on King Charlatan's Island...
He's been stranded so gosh darn long...on King Charlatan's Island...

Golden sun rises on a distant plane...
The waves gently stir...
Out of the view of King Charlatan's eye...
As he nears the abysmal edge...teetering on the ledge...Oh No!

He's been stranded so long...on King Charlatan's island...
He fell off of the ocean and then...he landed on the island...
Someone save him from the island...or he'll be stranded 'till the end of time...
Dum...Dieah Dah Dah...



5. Fall of the Afterall

Take my balls away...you never saw me play with them any way...
I surfed one of your phatty curls...
Then waited patiently for the set to rock my world...Afterall...

Another ambivert at heart...I never ever know where to start...
But I keep chasing very furry tail...
Please make sure all the lonley people get their mail...Afterall...

Tea time for two in the rainbow garden...
Play peek'a'boo with the one who started it all...before the fall...

Tea time for two in the rainbow garden...
play pocket pool with the one who started it all...before the fall of the Afterall...



6. The Man with the Plan

Recover from a monday spent at home...
Pensive stomach churning...& on the phone...don't want to be alone...
You end up in the roughest part of town...
Accepting rides from strangers in wedding gowns...thrown bouquets...

Please just say...I'm O'kay...I'm O'kay (2x)
'Cause I'm the man with the plan...sages called upon...

The shipwreck she discovered was in his pool...
The spell that he fell under was overdue...and she knew...
After coitus interruptus he fell asleep...
& he awoke to be a father...& on his knees...prayin' for god speed...

Please just say...I'm O'kay...I'm O'kay (2x)
'Cause I'm the man with the plan...sages called upon...the land...
You're my lover...Yes & I'm your bean...sprouting towards the sun...

Please just say...please just say that I'm O'kay...or is your tounge tied...
Say I'm O'Kay (3x) Please...say "I'm O'kay"



7. Chocolate Tears

Lying awake in my bed, I'm dreamin' of you
Behind this locked door, I'm doing the deed
while we stare at the same moon
She's frowning on me, but she's smiling on you
But there's no turing back so...
it looks like you'll just have to clean up

All by yourself, dry your eye, I just can't bear to see you cry
I know I did a bad thing, I'm so sorry baby

What's it to you? If you only knew the state that I'm in
All my roses are blue, and my violets are red
as the sun that's setting
On you & I, the autumn arrived
while the summer just flew by
But there's no turning back so...
It looks like you'll just have to clean up the mess that you
Made...all from scratch...
before summertime comes on back
'Cause I'm made of chocolate tears...
& I melt away when the clouds all clear

oooh! But I still love, yes I do, I still love you

shaoop! Don't 'cha wanna wanna, don't 'cha wanna wanna go
To the top 'o' the world with me baby, Don't be afraid

I've never been known to talk in my sleep
But nobody really knows,
'cept my next door neighbor & Kubby
But I'm young & willing to share with you
All my nightmares & wet dreams too
This one man band, keeps draining my energy everyday
But there's no turning so...
It looks like you'll just have to clean up the mess that you
Made...all from scratch...
before summertime comes on back
'Cause I'm made of chocolate tears...
& I melt away when the clouds all clear

oooh! But I still love, yes I do, I still love you



8. Down for the Count

Nestled deep within the western mountains of Transylvania,
Mushupaya loved his sheep to death,
He'd take 'em out and walk for miles and miles,
Led by his staff the flute with follow the tune...'cause he's...

Deep...deep...down inside...drifting into the pitch black eyes...of Dracula...

Hypnotized by his own melodies he forgot all about the time,
& he wandered further than he ever had before,
A vampire bat darted around the shepherd's head,
So he whipped out his flute & played a tune that the bat transform...'cause he's...

Deep...deep...down...KO...Deep...Down for the Count...yes he's...
Deep...deep...down inside...drifting into the pitch black eyes...of Dracula...

It was getting very late, the moon crowned the sky...
& it lit the way towards the castle doors...
Shiver up my great...great grand daddy's spine from the King of Olde...
He met his match from beyond the grave...or did he return home...'cause he's...

Deep...deep...down...KO...Deep...Down for the Count...yes he's...
Deep...deep...down inside...drifting into the pitch black eyes...of Dracula...

Welcome home...sleep the day...hunt the night...
Welcome home...virgin blood to make it right...he'll never get away...



9. Corcoran

A love so true, a love so right
Careful every single night
To not expose their little secret
Or else they'd pay the price
The husband knew his wife was cheating
She fed the lies that he kept eating
He waved goodbye to his son
& went & got his gun...

The light had flickered one last time
He knew he was next in line
What had started as a love so true
Became two men's end of time

The man inside was not the same
He hid his guilt & pain
The things he did were fueled by envy
Nothing left to gain
There is no life inside the box
Life is pointless without cause
He killed the man who haunts his thoughts
& put him in the box

The light had flickered one last time
He knew he was next in line
What had started as a love so true
Became two men's end of time



10. Ice Cream Cloud

Fly me to your Ice cream cloud
I'm floating up it sure has been awhile
When I'm there it feels like a dream
The sky fades underneath my feet...what a treat

(The sky fades underneath his feet what a treat
Nobody knows what the baby might meet)

A million stars & nebuli
Take bite of half moon pie
When I'm there it feels like a dream
Day, night & twilight inbetween...cosmic scenes

(Day, night & twilight between cosmic scenes
Nobody's been where the baby has been)

Look...to...the sky...could it be?
Lighter than a teeny feather
Is it a bird? or is it a baby...baby
don't you fly too high

The babe's alright (repeat forever)

(The sky fades underneath his feet what a treat
Nobody knows what the baby might meet)

(Day, night & twilight between cosmic scenes
Nobody's been where the baby has been)

Fly me to your Ice cream cloud
I'm floating up it sure has been awhile



11. The Willow Song

The poor little soul sat sighing alone...
Beneath the sycamore tree...
Quivering shoulders, under covers...
In the bed where he dreams...
The cold sweat seeps into his brow...
His fearful mind will sift the ground...
While she watches...from the shadows of the willow tree...

Heavan help me free my voice & scream...

SUCCUBUS! IS RAPING ME
THE WHITES OF HER EYES ARE THERE
BUT I STILL CAN'T SEE...HER FACE...

The poor little soul sat crying alone...
Beneath the sycamore tree...
Sinking slowly...
Through the portal...
In the bed where he dreams...
The branches reach to pull him down...
To join the roots beneath the ground...
While she watches...from the shadows of the willow tree...
Where can he be?

Heavan help me free my voice & scream...

SUCCUBUS! IS RAPING ME
THE WHITES OF HER EYES ARE THERE
BUT I STILL CAN'T SEE...HER FACE...AAAAHHHH!



12. Time for Free

Time for you...
Time for free...
What to do...
Here with me?

Guess I'll run another bubble bath
Steep some tea into my Garfield glass
Set some traps for the packin' rats
That ate up all our time before it passed

Time for you...
Time for free...
What to do...
Here with me?

Guess I'll smoke another bowl a hash
Get the lotion I'd like another whack
Set some traps for the packin' rats
That ate up all our time before it passed

Time for you...
Time for free...(Carpe diem bitch)
What to do...
Here with me? (Do anything you want)

Time for you...
Time for free...(Carpe diem motherfucker)
What to do...
Here with me? (Do anything you want)

Guess I'll run another bubble bath
& play with my rubber ducky
Set some traps for them ol' packin' rats
That ate up all our time after it passed



13. The Dryad

Once upon the gates of dawn...
There I eyed a fawn from behind a shrub...
Was it a fortnight or yesteryear...
When I last saw you my darling deer...
Hair strewn chestnut brown...
Your eyes open widely sound...Euphoria...

I'll wait for you...
Purest love I'm true...
What am I to do...
With this rapturous pain...

We knelt down in the grass...
My heart fluttered as time passed...
Coy mistress don't misconstrue...
My love for you...
But then you turned away...
While my musket broods for play...
This hunter came to slay...
But you've blunted my wistful aim...Euphoria...

I'll wait for you...
Purest love I'm true...
What am I to do...
With this rapturous pain...

My love will never die...
My love...for you...goes on & on & on (repeat forever)



14. Not Leavin' you for Good

You caught me with my foot just out the door
Said "Where are you goin man you some kind a bandwhore?"
My floor's littered with roaches being nuked about now
So by the time that we get there life won't be so foul

But please don't forget that I'm not leavin' you for good (Uh Uh mamma)
Please don't forget that I'm not leavin' you for good

It's not a bad drive babe, it's straight up the five
Drop in on Sundays, ley me know you're still alive
Iv'e been out in the counrty, pickin' fresh fruit off the vine
We'll have a house warming party, & take our sweet ol' time

But please don't forget that I'm not leavin' you for good (Uh Uh never)
Please don't forget that I'm not leavin' you for good

Mom: CAN YOU MEET THE RENT?
Son: It's cheap as dirt momma
Mom: HOW WILL YOUR TIME BE SPENT?
Son: Do I really have to answer that?
Mom: WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO GET A REAL JOB?
Son: I can't hear you...

Please don't forget that I'm not leavin' you for good (But I'm not leavin' you for bad either)
Please don't forget that I'm not leavin' you for good (2x)
