A poor boy raised on the docks In the slums of Baltimore Chewing, cursing, drinking Folks couldn't take anymore Shipped him to reform school Mathias gave him a bat Birth of a mother slugger Soon to be Sultan of Swat That's Babe Ruth That's Babe Ruth Woke up to 5 chili dogs Chased them with 4 beers Kissed his 3 dates goodbye And headed out to the field Quivering pitcher winds up He can sense the heat Swings that 40-ounce hickory Knocks one deep to the cheap seats That's Babe Ruth That's Babe Ruth Babe, Babe, Babe, I say Babe Piled up the records For many years they stood Screwed over by the Boston Braves Promise never made good That's the cost of living Out on the ragged edge You can have it your way But at 53 you’re dead That's Babe Ruth That's Babe Ruth That's Babe Ruth That's Babe Ruth

Been around since the planets cooled I shone brightly as Adam ruled A symbol of wonder A light for broken hearts A little hope for Eve’s dark Turning wise men into fools I am the moon I am the moon Cleopatra took just one look Flashed her eyes and Marc Anthony was hooked A battle lost now Two bodies lie still on the ground In my golden light they drowned Love was what they took I am the moon I am the moon One giant leap for mankind Leave good judgment far behind So I remain up in the sky As star-crossed lovers Look me in the eye Magnetic force to reckon I’m guessing you’re his girl Why not give it a whirl? It’s obvious he’s your guy I am the moon I am the moon

Back in high school Studied woodshop Always picked on An honor roll prop Not popular I honed my craft Drilling, sawing Soon my last laugh I had designs, to be To be a coffin maker A master plan, to become Become a coffin maker Post-graduation They all stayed jerks Vicious lawyers Suing berserk I built one a desk He skipped on the bill Said he was strapped Screwed by goodwill Just you wait, until I'm a coffin maker You'll meet a different kind Kind of undertaker 17 thousand, Watch the box go down Exorbitant price, To level the ground. Back debt with interest For things I don't own Exemplified greed Reap the seeds you've blown The sweet juice, of revenge Now I'm a coffin maker Take a drink, enjoy I'm the coffin maker I'm the coffin maker I'm the coffin maker

Do you know the difference? Between a spider and an octopus? One’s free in the ocean The other’s stuck in the woods Do you know the difference Between a spider and an octopus? Made straight A’s in college But you never learned enough Do you know the difference? Between a mollusk and an arthropod? One spins a tangled web The other’s a tricky blob Do you know the difference Between a mollusk and an arthropod? You don’t believe in Satan Never trusted God Do you know the difference? Between a spider and an octopus? One blinds you with ink The other one sucks your blood. Do you know the difference? Between a spider and an octopus? I don’t think you do I don’t think you do I don’t think you do

Staring down an ale Complexion in grayscale With my best friend, me Solitarily. I’m a regular I’m a regular I’m a regular Maddy’s slightly crocked Life packed in a box Her dreams of the ballet Blacked out on Broadway She’s a regular She’s a regular She’s a regular Benny’s on the rail His second marriage failed He lost it in the cracks Forgot the Similac Benny’s regular Maddy’s regular I’m a regular We’re all regulars

I need to take a trip Far away from the southern tip My body’s getting harmed By this global warmth Skating Want to be skating Skating to Iceland Skating Want to be skating Arrogant about our effect Genetically select? Damage that we made Can turn ‘round in a day Skating Want to be skating Skating to Iceland Skating Want to be skating Scrape with a meteor Knocked further than before Ocean’s are frozen glass I get to skate at last Finally Skating Now I’m skating Skating to Iceland Finally Skating Now I’m skating

My name is Richard Nixon I’m not such a bad guy There were some discrepancies in some recordings I made The missing eighteen and-a-half minutes We all lose recordings Haven't you ever erased your answering machine? It appears there is a slight gap A slight gap in some of my chronicling Hey Dick Nixon We’re on to you You erased the tape To cover up Watergate Diverted attention To Spiro Agnew Dick Nixon We’re on to you The audio nerds Reeled up the words Fine tooth combs, a war to wage A sinister voice Used a choice Pointed out by Alexander Haig It could be me I’m no good with machines Neither is Rose Mary Woods The big red button Always means something Tricky Dick wiped out the goods John Sirica Couldn’t be quicker Subpoenaed 64 recordings made Nixon refused Supreme Court not amused Turned them in later on that day Deep in cahoots With the rest of the suits The tape released and the public floored You’re never alone After achieving the throne The spinning reels are always in record Hey Dick Nixon We’re on to you Duck behind piano keys Used your dog Checkers in a speech Pat by your side With her new expensive hairdo Dick Nixon We’re on to you

When I was a child I had marionettes I made up sick stories Clever vignettes They always ended With dark despair Cherry bombs ignited Puppet parts everywhere Puppets and Explosions Then I started playing Video games Online nemeses With disturbing names My game controller Became my strings Stabbing at the buttons I blew up everything Puppets and Explosions Elected as leader By my puppet brigade They follow me blindly And do what I say Manipulate society Like my Pinocchio Pulling all the strings I’ve become Geppetto Puppets and Explosions Puppets and Explosions And Explosions And Explosions

There’s no time left for Freud He just fell into a mental void And now he’s gone Freud is gone Sitting back while stroking his beard The prognosis is worse than feared That’s Freud No time for Freud No time for Freud No time for Freud Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar Over-analysis can leave deep scars There’s no time for Freud I don’t know about Oedipus I don’t care what I take from this I don’t know Don’t know about Freud I don’t care about anal retention I don’t know about your dementia I don’t care Care about Freud No time for Freud No time for Freud Dreams sometimes only mean nothing Senseless artificial reconstructions No man knows how the mind functions Explained by untested deductions He told you it's all about your mother Never talked about your father or your brother What’s that Freud? Can’t hear you Freud Tell me about your childhood No one’s had one that's any good I’m bored with Freud Tired of Freud No time for Freud No time for Freud

Negativity drilling her holes Boring deep and dull and freezing cold On an empty platform I stand A bag of broken hearts clutched in hand Trying my damnedest will it work? Wearing the clothes of a jerk Smoldering words - cigarette burns Rusted turnstile never turns Negativity pushes away Every single love I've betrayed Scars obscured carefully from view How long will they be my excuse
