MacHouse

Verse 1:
I dance up and down empty halls
Scream and holler at the walls
My intuition is alone
But only back and forth I roam
Listen for when floorboards creak
It’s a better place that speaks
A glass of vodka twice a day
And cocaine dreams make it ok

Bridge:
This was supposed to help the pain
It just drives me more insane
To be trapped in without a door
Can’t take no more

Chorus:
I’ve been sentenced to the MacHouse
One day I’m gunna break out
Escape from the MacHouse
Light it up and burn it down

Verse 2:
Even though the rooms are padded
There’s a hole inside this madness
The book I read that took me here
Is nothing more than empty fear
Nothing heroin can’t fix
Injections will do the trick
Crash and tip into the yard
It’s time to exorcise this farm

Bridge:
This was supposed to help the pain
It just drives me more insane
To be trapped in without a door
Can’t take no more

Chorus:
I’ve been sentenced to the MacHouse
One day I’m gunna break out
Escape from the MacHouse
Light it up and burn it down

I’ve been sentenced to the MacHouse
One day I’m gunna break out
Escape from the MacHouse
Light it up and burn it down

Verse 3:
MacHouse MacHouse
All over the news
MacHouse MacHouse
Somebody is loose
MacHouse MacHouse
It’s destiny
MacHouse MacHouse
Somebody is free
MacHouse MacHouse
Reason on the run
MacHouse MacHouse
Admit a Hunt
MacHouse MacHouse
They aren’t coming back
MacHouse MacHouse
Founded by Zackie R. Mac

Chorus:
I’ve been sentenced to the MacHouse
One day I’m gunna break out
Escape from the MacHouse
Light it up and burn it down

I’ve been sentenced to the MacHouse
One day I’m gunna break out
Escape from the MacHouse
Light it up and burn it down

Why I Love Hot Dogs (The Hot Dog Song)

Verse 1:
Hey miss, can I just have one to test
Oscar Meyer wieners are the best
I take my man dressed or undressed
And eat it like a lady, eat it like a mess

Bridge:
I like them fried or toasted
Maybe boiled or roasted
But grilled the mostest
Today I’ll be your hostess
Nom, nom, nom

Chorus:
How about hot dogs
A juicy foot long
Ketchup, mustard, relish
All over my tongue
Do you have one to share
Do you have one to spare
That’s why I love hot dogs so much
I love hot dogs
They come in many different sizes
When I bite into them
Every time I get surprises
Do you have a six pack
Do you have a meaty snack
That’s why I love hot dogs so much

Verse 2:
There’s cocktail weenies and jumbo size
So many choices, so little time
Only the best when the moonshine dies
I’ve narrowed it down to one, sexy, amazingly, fine

Bridge:
I like them fried or toasted
Maybe boiled or roasted
But grilled the mostest
Today I’ll be your hostess
Nom, nom, nom

Chorus:
How about hot dogs
A juicy foot long
Ketchup, mustard, relish
All over my tongue
Do you have one to share
Do you have one to spare
That’s why I love hot dogs so much
I love hot dogs
They come in many different sizes
When I bite into them
Every time I get surprises
Do you have a six pack
Do you have a meaty snack
That’s why I love hot dogs so much

Verse 3:
In the middle of a barbeque
We’re flamin’ up look at you
Dime a dozen, that’s the price
Beef satisfies my appetite
Cheese oozes over top the bun
If it’s not blackened, it’s not fun
Eat you sprawled out in the sand
That’s what happens at a hot dog stand

Chorus:
How about hot dogs
A juicy foot long
Ketchup, mustard, relish
All over my tongue
Do you have one to share
Do you have one to spare
That’s why I love hot dogs so much
I love hot dogs
They come in many different sizes
When I bite into them
Every time I get surprises
Do you have a six pack
Do you have a meaty snack
That’s why I love hot dogs so much

How about hot dogs
A juicy foot long
Ketchup, mustard, relish
All over my tongue
Do you have one to share
Do you have one to spare
That’s why I love hot dogs so much
I love hot dogs
They come in many different sizes
When I bite into them
Every time I get surprises
Do you have a six pack

That’s why I love hot dogs so much

BFF - Part 2

Intro:
Hello Bradford

Verse 1:
I’m a photographer
My best work is shown in a Spanish book
I want some static
Flipping pancakes with peaches and hope nobody looks
Retards pull senior pranks
With the peanut butter and the yoga mats
I’m racist against Alaskans
Elvis and donkey-llama-horse-giraffes

Chorus:
There aren’t no bitches in here, there’s a Brittany Rutter
I’ll be the lightning and you are the thunder

Verse 2:
Mike-a Dakota Olga
Holly Cassie Megan Muller DeStephen
On the waterslide
You’re screaming Trevor I’d rather yell Megan
Flooded with triangle
There’s a tsunami in Tennessee
Now it’s under construction
Mr. Golden Sun builds up more cottage cheese

Chorus:
We haven’t had a salad in six weeks
So let’s just go to the art fair to eat

Verse 3:
Fighting is in my blood
Hit me in the stomach so I won’t have any more kids
Heather rhymes with Taylor
If I wouldn’t drown I would jump off a bridge
In the dark of the night
Niggling in the park, he got hit with Chap Stick
There’s a dog with big eyebrows
My methods are not well known but they are well practiced

Chorus:
Show me your teeth but Lady G didn’t show up
Instead we had Jack Nicholson singing drunk in the bath tub

Verse 4:
On the back machine
I’m glad you’re friends with someone covered in disease
I’ll just row the boat
On the butt machine and scream Italy
There’s too many Lindseys
In the disease control casino strutting around
On the Jersey Shore
My easel is always straight up and down

Chorus:
The end of the world, stay forever PMS
HoLi CAtS, you’re my little fat BFF

Breakdown:
V, I, V, I, A, N, Vivian
L, A, N, D, F, I, L, L, Landfill, Oh
S, A, S, C, R, O, T, C, H, Sascrotch
Dizzy Lizzy, what you smokin’ Joe

Verse 5:
I look better in orange than that gorilla that opens her mouth
I look better in her shoes, they’re more summerish around
I don’t wanna miss a cake I believe I can eat
I’m so amazed by food Subway gives me sweet dreams

Chorus:
There aren’t no bitches in here, there’s a Brittany Rutter
I’ll be the lightning and you are the thunder
We haven’t had a salad in six weeks
So let’s just go to the art fair to eat
Show me your teeth but Lady G didn’t show up
Instead we had Jack Nicholson singing drunk in the bath tub
Or the end of the world, stay forever PMS
HoLi CAtS, you’re my little fat BFF

Ending:
I thought they had fibromyalgia but they just went to McDonalds
Is it A, B, or C, 1 or 2, both or neither
They had bears and baked potato boats
Ahhhhh, here’s to next year we’ll be seniors

Orange and Black Bird

Intro:
I’ve got two birds
One is orange and black
One is blue and glass
One is orange and black
The other blue and glass

Verse 1:
A Christmas ornament to remind me what it means to me now
When times of separation and grief come around
He made the house a home, a symbol of love
Family, childhood, everything I was deprived of
A child should never have a reason to cry
But at least he was there shining in the twinkle of my eye
No it’s not perfect, but it’s not supposed to be
He may look like nothing but he’s everything to me
I glance up…

Chorus:
Then I see that orange and black bird
He’s always watching from above
Think of everything he must have heard
Looking down on our elusive love
His ratted form describes the years
Since the year 1993
He has been perched upon our Christmas tree
And must have seen
Everything

Verse 2:
A symbol of the love, family, and childhood I never had
It was like a board with knicks but taken away and shattered like glass
He was worried at breakfast that the bird would steal his food
In a week of broken promises, Sundays I looked forward to
It didn’t matter that I was lost inside
He was my map to comfort on our frog hollow drives
He’s the man someday I hope to be
It may sound like nothing but he’s everything to me
I glance up…

Chorus:
Then I see that white and blue bird
He’s always watching from above
Think of everything he must have heard
Looking down on our elusive love
His ratted form describes the years
Since the year 1993
He has been perched upon glass cabinetry
And must have seen
Everything

– BREAK–

Chorus:
I glance up and see that orange and black bird
He’s always watching from above
Think of everything he must have heard
Looking down on our elusive love
His ratted form describes the years
Since the year 1993
He has been perched upon our Christmas tree
And must have seen
Everything

Ending:
I’ve got two birds
One is orange and black
The other blue and glass

Confirmed

Verse 1:
We walked into the restaurant
Because we were very hungry
We ate up all our recollections
But we didn’t have any money
It wasn’t long before they asked us to leave
But we didn’t want to so they asked us to stay
They were just trying to be nice
And the manager came to us with a fiddle to play

Bridge:
Hey, hey, hey
You get, you get

Chorus:
A focus on matters to be questioned soon
If I’ll be the cat, will you be the moon
A new insight I never learned
Maybe at first I was unsure
But now it is confirmed

Verse 2:
Honky tonk stories for the season
Here is one about my cat
He fell off the roof backwards
While he was trying to catch a bat
He chased a mouse up the wall
Like a broom, he ran for his life
He scurried in a bottle because
In a high corner sat his wife

Bridge:
Hey, hey, hey
You get, you get

Chorus:
A focus on matters to be questioned soon
If I’ll be the cat, will you be the moon
A new insight I never learned
Maybe at first I was unsure
But now it is confirmed

Verse 3:
Peanuts are supposed to be
Loved like a rosary
Even when it don’t make sense
There’s blizzard wisdom to repent

Chorus:
You get a focus on matters to be questioned soon
If I’ll be the cat, will you be the moon
A new insight I never learned
Maybe at first I was unsure
But now it is confirmed

A respirator concerned
Maybe at first I was unsure
But now it is confirmed

Overblown

Verse 1:
I’m at the club
In the corner with my drink standing, my eyes are dancing looking for love
Then you t-text me
Looking for a booty call, it doesn’t come at all attractive or sexy

Bridge:
It’s kind of a little aggressive
It’s kind of a little excessive
It’s kind of a little obsessive
It’s kind of a little
Possessive

Chorus:
You always have it up at your mouth
You always have a whip in hand
I’ve only got so much juice to put out
With the unlimited usage plan
I wanna go out, have a good time
But the way you ring-a-linging my phone
And always making me come back for night
Has got me feeling overblown

Verse 2:
I’m at the desk
Put’na few extra hours in at the office so I can bring home a bigger check
Then you p-page
To make sure I’m ok and that I’m not too overworked or trapped in a cage

Bridge:
It’s kind of a little aggressive
It’s kind of a little excessive
It’s kind of a little obsessive
It’s kind of a little
Possessive

Chorus:
You always have it up at your mouth
You always have a whip in hand
I’ve only got so much juice to put out
With the unlimited usage plan
I wanna go out, have a good time
But the way you ring-a-linging my phone
And always making me come back for night
Has got me feeling overblown

Verse 3:
O, V, E, R, B, L, O, W, N
Maybe we could meet to mix the coffee and cream again
O, V, E, R, B, L, O, W, N
I hate checking my inbox every time you press send
Stop dialing 4, 9, 1, 5, 2, 8, 7

“We’re sorry, you have reached a number that has been disconnected or is no longer in service. Please check the number and try your call again”

Chorus:
You always have it up at your mouth
You always have a whip in hand
I’ve only got so much juice to put out
With the unlimited usage plan
I wanna go out, have a good time
But the way you ring-a-linging my phone
And always making me come back for night
Has got me feeling overblown

You’ve got me feeling overblown

Chorus:
You always have it up at your mouth
You always have a whip in hand
I’ve only got so much juice to put out
With the unlimited usage plan
I wanna go out, have a good time
But the way you ring-a-linging my phone
And always making me come back for night
Has got me feeling overblown

Sociopath

Refrain:

C, I, O
P, A, T, H

Verse 1:
I don’t feel guilty
I feel sorry for people that do
A conscience is filthy
When I’ve dismembered forty two
Planning it out is more fun
Than committing the actual crime
You feel their last bit of breath gone
And feel like a god looking in their eyes

Bridge:
Disturbingly sweet
Beautifully morbid
On a killing spree
For decorative organs

Chorus:
I like to kill you for fun, I’m a sociopath

And I enjoy it, I’m a socio-sociopath

Another shrunken one from the war
Screw it on my bed
Or use it to knock at the door

Hung up for Christmas tree inspection
I need a hobby
Dig up people, I keep quite the collection

Bridge:
It was disturbingly sweet
Beautifully morbid
On a killing spree
For decorative organs

I like to kill you for fun, I’m a sociopath
Cram your head in the oven, Sylvia Plath

Jesus, decapitate me

Would be to hear my own blood gushing from my neck
Murder stains my hands so deep
That I can’t wash the blood away
I slaughtered their chance at life
Forever haunting JonBenet

Chorus:
I like to kill you for fun, I’m a sociopath
Cram your head in the oven, Sylvia Plath
Pain is pleasure in the aftermath
And I enjoy it, I’m a socio-sociopath

It’s our private leisure spot
Just like Little Glade Mill Pond

Verse 1:

Can’t believe I would be left
In pieces behind
Never once thought I would waste
The love of my life

Bridge:
It’s like every time I check
Every song makes me a wreck
I won’t write no more I fear
For there’s no way outta here

Chorus:
I’m trapped inside this box
The key nowhere to be found
I want to badly to scream
But my heart can’t even sound
It’s my fault that you broke loose
I guess you’re really gone this time
I’m afraid I’ll never love again
Or talk again, I’m a mime

Verse 2:
I put up my own walls
So no one breaks through
I need a way to cover up
Paint on my face will do
I have got laryngitis
From shouting your name
But you still left, now I’m gone
I will never be the same

Bridge:
It’s like every time I check
Every song makes me a wreck
I won’t write no more I fear
For there’s no way outta here

Chorus:
I’m trapped inside this box
The key nowhere to be found
I want to badly to scream
But my heart can’t even sound
It’s my fault that you broke loose
I guess you’re really gone this time
I’m afraid I’ll never love again
Or talk again, I’m a mime

Verse 3:
Shhhh
I’m in here vacant, until you come back, I’ll stay
Listen
It’s like all of my presence is in boxes packed away

Chorus:
I’m trapped inside this box
The key nowhere to be found
I want to badly to scream
But my heart can’t even sound
It’s my fault that you broke loose
I guess you’re really gone this time
I’m afraid I’ll never love again
Or talk again, I’m a mime

It’s my fault that you broke loose
I guess you’re really gone this time
I’m afraid I’ll never love again
Or talk again, I’m a mime

Another Year

Verse 1:
One day all the sudden I was stricken with pain
I had it all time, always tried to tolerate it
Coughing up blood and my stomach inflamed
Then there was news, I didn’t know how to take it
They told me that I wouldn’t make it

Bridge:
You’re not supposed to pick out your own funeral clothes
But that’s how it goes
When you know the end of your life
Is sooner than you’d like

Chorus:
I’ll miss their wedding, miss them so much
I’ll miss their graduation and cheers
I’ll miss my grandkids growing up
It’s just the thoughts that ring in your ears
When you’d be lucky to have
Another year

Bridge:
Chemo
Radiation
Decay
Salvation

Verse 2:
It’s getting so bad the tumors keep growing
But I guess sometimes that’s just how it is
I keep it to myself, don’t want everyone knowing
It would tear my family apart, something’s gotta give
But I’ve only got three months to live

Bridge:
You’re not supposed to pick out your own funeral clothes
But that’s how it goes
When you know the end of your life
Is sooner than you’d like

Chorus:
I’ll miss their wedding, miss them so much
I’ll miss their graduation and cheers
I’ll miss my grandkids growing up
It’s just the thoughts that ring in your ears
When you’d be lucky to have
Another year

Verse 3:
I can’t do things that I enjoy
This cancer has left me destroyed
Sometimes the truth can be too hard to handle
My time’s burning out on both ends of the candle
I can’t talk, I can’t eat
I can’t live, I can’t sleep
Cause every time I close my eyes
It might be the last time
I see myself alive

Chorus:
I’ll miss their wedding, miss them so much
I’ll miss their graduation and cheers
I’ll miss my grandkids growing up
It’s just the thoughts that ring in your ears
When you’d be lucky to have
Another year

Chorus:
I’ll miss their wedding, miss them so much
I’ll miss their graduation and cheers
I’ll miss my grandkids growing up
It’s just the thoughts that ring in your ears
When you’d be lucky to have
Another year

Weather the Storm

Verse 1:
The sky gets dark
You can tell something big is on the way
Priests run to the bar
Drunkards make the choice to pray
There’s change in the skies
Prepare for the worst, hope for the better
When the thunder strikes
It’s time to take shelter from the weather

Chorus:
Like an earthquake
It feels like the ground
Is splitting, breaking in half
Like a hurricane
Feel the wind blowing around
The same thing again and again in its wrath

Just weather the storm
Weather, weather the storm
Even when it doesn’t look like it’s ever gunna clear up
Just weather the storm
Weather, weather the storm
Eventually, sooner or later even the clouds will break up
If I, Weather, The storm

Verse 2:
Alert, alert a warning
It’s like a flash flood watch goes out
By the breaking dawn of morning
Follow the tornado evacuation route

Chorus:
Like an earthquake
It feels like the ground
Is splitting, breaking in half
Like a hurricane
Feel the wind blowing around
The same thing again and again in its wrath

Just weather the storm
Weather, weather the storm
Even when it doesn’t look like it’s ever gunna clear up
Just weather the storm
Weather, weather the storm
Eventually, sooner or later even the clouds will break up
If I, Weather, The storm

Verse 3:
The worst thing about the rain clouds
Is that it washes all the problems out
The sky may be clear but it’s also black
Opposite pressure changes never attract
And when all is said and done it’s only me and Mother Nature left

Chorus:
Like an earthquake
It feels like the ground
Is splitting, breaking in half
Like a hurricane
Feel the wind blowing around
The same thing again and again in its wrath

Just weather the storm
Weather, weather the storm
Even when it doesn’t look like it’s ever gunna clear up
Just weather the storm
Weather, weather the storm
Eventually, sooner or later even the clouds will break up

If I, weather the storm
Weather, weather the storm
Even when it doesn’t look like it’s ever gunna clear up
Just weather the storm
Weather, weather the storm
Eventually, sooner or later even the clouds will break up
If I, Weather, The storm
