A Love Like Morticia And Gomez (nuvocoke@gmail.com)
(verse) Romeo and Juliet... two of the most recognized lovers in
history... defied their families, ended up a tragedy, that's not
the way true love is meant to be...
(CHORUS) so, screw Romeo and Juliet, I want a love like Morticia
and Gomez... when it comes around to who's really gettin' down,
Querida and Bubula have beaten all the rest...
(singalong) screw Romeo and Juliet, I want a love like Morticia
and Gomez (x2)
(verse) Cleopatra and Antony started out making love along the
Nile... but the twists of fate left them in a sorry state and their
ends came in a most tragic style...
(CHORUS) so, screw Cleopatra and Antony, I want a love like Morticia
and Gomez... he would die for her, he would kill for her, either way,
he'd say, "what bliss"... (singalong: screw Cleopatra and Antony)(x2)
(bridge) they danced the Mamushka while Nero fiddled, they danced the
Mamushka at Waterloo... they danced the Mamushka for Jack the Ripper,
and now, they dance their Mamushka for all of you...
(verse) Josephine and Napoleon may have ruled the kingdom of romance,
but then Gomez says "Cara Mia! when you speak French, it drives me
wild," and trails sweet kisses up her arm, they don't stand a chance
(CHORUS) so, screw Josephine and Napoleon, I want a love like Morticia
and Gomez... from the very first glance by an open grave, where she
looked so beautiful, pale and mysterious... (singlong - all three couples)

Alice Has A Tattoo Of The Rabbit On Her Ass (nuvocoke@gmail.com)
(Verse) when they said, " go ask Alice," I don't think they realized...
how much deeper than that rabbit's hole her issues truly lied... with that
fall into the mirror she should have been scarred by broken glass, yet she
emerged apparently unscathed, except on closer examination it appears...
that Alice, our dear Alice, - now has a tattoo of the rabbit on her ass...
(CHORUS) Dear Alice has a tattoo of the rabbit on her ass... is it fair to
say she's been spoken for by that hare who moved so fast? did they pass time
on some mushrooms, in the meadows, smoking grass? is she now that bunny's
hunny? Alice, our dear Alice, - now has a tattoo of the rabbit on her ass...
Dear Alice has a tattoo of the rabbit on her ass... (x4)
(verse) upon returning home to family, oh, what a big surprise, the formerly
nieve Alice has now opened up her eyes,,, maybe a visit to the mansion, or
just a centerfold away, Alice has finally figured out how to make her
youthful, nubile, innocent beauty pay... now Alice, our dear Alice,
understands why the queen of hearts told her to obey... (CHORUS)
(bridge) virtue, it seems, is overrated now, limited to fairy tales... this
modern world tends to overlook the trauma that often trails... just behind a
society grinding it's way so blindly past... thus Alice, our dear Alice -
now has a tattoo of the rabbit on her ass... (CHORUS)

As Your Rainbow Fades To Grey (nuvocoke@gmail.com)
(verse) as your rainbow fades to grey and all the colors slip away,
with the onset of twilight, how will you prepare to meet the night?
and though the years have come and gone, each moment's with you
like an old familiar song, that you sing to chase all the scary
things away... as your rainbow fades to grey...
(singalong) as your rainbow fades to grey... (x4)
(verse) as your rainbow fades to grey, you struggle for words you
want to say, with all the games that people play it's not a wonder
so many choose to stray... as they come and go you see it's never
really up to you, or me, yesterday's reflected in tomorrow anyway,
as your rainbow fades to grey...
(verse) as your rainbow fades to grey, everything still turns out
okay, any drama that seemed important was just a self imposed
restraint... your shining soul finally revealed from under the
layers of karmic paint... no more fools pointless rules to obey,
as your rainbow fades to grey... just the universe and you on your
way... as your rainbow fades to grey

Bite Me Baby (nuvocoke@gmail.com)
(verse) ohohoh,,, baby, you're such a tease, with all of those rubber
devices and that leather trapeze... Ohohoh... baby, I'll do anything
to please, if you'll just whisper those three sweetest words to me...
c'mon say it now...
(CHORUS) bite me baby, you know how it excites me baby, you don't
really want to fight me baby, c'mon and say it now, bite me baby...
whoa... bite me baby, you just gotta invite me baby, then we can do it
nightly baby... c'mon and say it now, bite me baby (multi sing-a-long)
(verse) ohohoh... baby, I like your style, that heavenly body, soft
creamy neck, and most devilish smile... soohoh... baby your just the
type for me... being an "O" negative, I can receive eternally...
why don't you say now... (CHORUS)
(bridge) ohohoh... baby, it just ain't fair, when I taste your skin,
and get my teeth caught in your hair. why don't we take it underground
and I'll let you see my monumental mound... where we can rest in
peace until that infernal sun and both of us goes down goes down...
so won't you say it now... (CHORUS)

Comedy Is Dangerous (nuvocoke@gmail.com)
they want to kill you, they want to murder you, they want to slaughter
you, they want you to die... are they the enemy? are they terrorists?
are they aliens giving you the evil eye...? No! they're comedians, and
they're bringing down the house, those rapscallions think they're the
cat and you're the mouse, such scally-waggily-slippery-slimy reptilians,
the worlds a very hazardous place in the hands of comedians, because
(CHORUS) comedy is dangerous... comedy is dangerous (x4)
take Laural & Hardy, weren't they a pair? tripping over anything from
each other, to a table or a chair... how'd they ever live through all
the accidents, chaos, and mishaps? while managing to stay a couple of
lovable, popular chaps? It's because they were comedians, they could
take a pie in the face... the skinny and the fat one were adored most
anyplace... the simple irony of situations they had to face, made them
immortal icons in almost any space... even though (CHORUS)
there was Charlie Chaplin, that lovable little tramp... started out as
a keystone cop before he became a scamp... that well known bowler hat,
moustache, and walking cane... forever the symbols of his amazing rise
to fame... he was a comedian of the silent film age... just before the
talkies and cinemascope became all the rage... through subtle facial
expressions and gestures, he'd engage... when it came to pratfalls and
physical comedy he was a sage... but remember (CHORUS)
now, the three stooges, they took it way beyond the limit to keep you
laughing, eye gouging, face slapping, if it worked, they did it...
with every Rrrowf! Rrrowf! Woo-boo-boo-boo-boo and Nyuk Nyuk Nyuk!
they showed us that slapstick was a matter of skill much more than luck,
they were truly comedians, amongst the finest and the best... Moe, Larry,
Curly, Shemp, Joe, and Curly Joe surpassed every test... they are beloved
around the world to this very day... it sure is a shame that all of this
talent has passed away... but, you know (CHORUS)

Dead Pop Stars (nuvocoke@gmail.com)
(verse) dead pop stars... still right here, singing their songs,
producing albums, it's like they're never really gone, unfinished
works, new releases, completed from what was saved, those dead
pop stars are making money, selling music from the grave...
its been said creative talent's worth more dead than alive
deceased celebrities meet that challenge and manage to survive
in the hearts and minds of those they leave behind...
(verse) dead pop stars, still out there, performing from beyond
creating music where there's nothing to stop them from going on
we even see them dance, like zombies, who've been brought back
to the stage... a dead pop stars "live" performance has become
the latest rage...
once again, creative talent's worth more dead than alive, thanks
to the gift of modern technology fallen icons can now thrive
and ride their fame on an endless trip through time...
(verse) those dead pop stars with their illusion of immortality,
maybe that's why their followers - can't let them rest eternally,
as if the hope of a rock n roll heaven is the key to save us all,
dead pop stars entertain us inspite of that ol' grim reaper's call
so my friends, creative talent's worth more dead than alive, we
don't need the actual people that we worship and idolize, now
that all they were can be copied and digitized...
(singalong) dead pop stars, still right here singing their songs (x4)

Go Throw A Brick (nuvocoke@gmail.com)
(verse) this modern life can be a little tedious, too many things
on which to think... like bills, health issues, or family, all
taking you to the brink... so many woes, don't know where to go,
the anxiety makes you sick, what you need may be a little anarchy
why don't you go throw a brick! just go throw a brick!
(CHORUS) go throw a brick, when you're at wits end... and you can't
find, or don't have the time to bend the ear of a friend...
if it gets too thick there's plenty of masonry to lend...
when you need relief quick... go throw a brick!
(sing along) go throw a brick (x6)
when you need relief quick... go throw a brick!
(verse) we've been told our responsibilities are to this planet wide
and the many beings that inhabit it, both on the surface and inside...
that seems like way too much for anyone to take... I guess it's just
life's dirty trick... so once you realize you don't want to handle it
why don't you go throw a brick! just go throw a brick! (CHORUS)
(verse) so, if you don't have a criminal record and nobody knows who
you are, you can probably use brick gravity and stay free of the police
radar... why should you waste your hard earned money on some overpriced
therapist? every anarchist knows the answer to all your problems...
why don't you go throw a brick! just go throw a brick! (CHORUS)

If The Price Is Right (nuvocoke@gmail.com)
(verse) it's been said you can make a deal with the devil... for
just about anything that your little ol' heart desires... well all
I know is that your in for a helluva lotta pain n' misery if that
deal based on hell fire transpires, now do you really want to give
up your immortal soul for a fleeting bit of fame in rock 'n roll?
well, then all I can say is good luck to you, you're gonna need it
when you say what the f_ck did I do? boo hoo hoo...
(CHORUS) well, you should only sell your soul if the price is right
'cause just about anything less is gonna keep you up every night...
'til that grim reaper comes along to extinguish your everlasting
light... you should only sell your soul if the price is right...
(sing-a-long) you should only sell your soul if the price is right
(verse) now, I suppose you think your some special bit o' clever,
and can avoid the consequences of a rash impulsive act... well
there have been many much smarter than you tried to not give the
devil his due and every one o' them ended up dead before they could
look back... so if your heart is really set on instant success and
you don't mind your eternity becoming a mess, some demon holds
your ticket to ride in style and will meet you at the crossroads
in a little while... don't forget to smile... (CHORUS)

If You Live Long Enough (nuvocoke@gmail.com)
(CHORUS) if You Live Long Enough... you're bound to die...
I can't see no way around it, maybe that's the reason why...
we should take advantage of every chance that happens to pass by...
if You Live Long Enough... you're bound to die... (twice)
(verse) too many people have a life that's full of fear... so many
ways for it to end are all too clear, from a tsunami to an earthquake,
to an avalanche, if you're disaster prone you don't stand a chance...
might as well appreciate the fact that you're still here... (CHORUS)
(verse) paranoia seems to be the driving force... we use guarantees,
warranties, and insurance to stay the course... from your health, to
your house, to your hybrid car, those policies decide how secure you
are and that monthly paycheck of yours can only stretch so far (CHORUS)
(verse) maybe one day, as a culture, we will learn... the many bridges
we build don't necessarily have to burn... because, life at its finest
is merely a gamble, fear's meant to remind us not to leave it a shamble
so as you scramble along don't forget to take your turn... (CHORUS)

Is There A Sound (nuvocoke@gmail.com)
(verse) when a tree falls in the forest and no one's there to here,
is there a sound... is there a sound? if the truth is set before us
with its message loud and clear, do we come around... do we come
around? while wars rage and surround us can we attain inner peace?
at the core of what sustains us is there a message of release...
from the bondage of a life forever beaten down... is there a sound,
is there a sound? is there a sound, is there a sound?
(verse) while a plea is put before us, yet falls onto deaf ears, is
there a sound... is there a sound? where beauty lies to the
beholder, might blindness persevere, does it all come 'round...
does it all come 'round? so many have so little and so few possess
the rest, if there's a method to this madness, have we lost sight
of the test? with our best efforts kept forever on the ground... is
there a sound, is there a sound? is there a sound, is there a sound?
(coda) is there a sound (x4)
(verse) could it be that one hand clapping is the outcome we all fear?
is there a sound... is there a sound? with our youth out chasing
rainbows have we brought it all too near? will the lost be found...
will the lost be found? do the seekers keep the meek at bay with their
version of the enlightened way and who's really got the answers anyway
it's all up in the air... and that air's so bad we can barely breathe
polluted by the breath of unchecked greed... when the end comes will
there be anyone left to care? will there be a sound (x2) (coda)

It Ain't That Bad (nuvocoke@gmail.com)
(verse) you've been thinking this ol' life has let you down...
all your plans and dreams don't seem to come around...
what you're searching for is nowhere to be found...
and no matter where you go, you're never homeward bound...
(CHORUS) well, it ain't that bad, it's actually worse...
that station wagon you've been driving's really a hearse...
you must have done wrong to some gypsy, now your cursed...
it ain't that bad... it's actually worse... (much worse)
(verse) you've been wondering why life seems so unfair...
people plundering each other everywhere...
voices thundering in anger and despair...
so few are willing to lend a hand out anywhere... (CHORUS)
(verse) you've been holding on to things that you've admired...
and you boast about the possessions you've aquired...
do you plan to cash it in when you're retired...
or, is it your safety net in case you get fired? (CHORUS)
(sing along) it ain't that bad, it's actually worse... (x4)

It's Great To Be A Zombie (nuvocoke@gmail.com)
(verse) it's great to be a zombie on halloween night... I can go trick or
treating while staying in plain sight, nobody stares at me, not a shriek
or a scream, no one even seems to mind that I find their brains taste
like whipped cream... (and)
(bridge) all those tasty little morsels running 'round, like cream
filled twinkies getting fat on the goodies they've found, it's zombie
heaven, a paradise, a fantasy come true and as an added treat I get to
meet their parents, before I eat, them too, just can't wait to eat you!
it's great to be a zombie (sing) on halloween night (x4)(feels so right)
(verse) I could have been Mitt Romney, not much difference there... I
could have been the pope, or a catholic priest and really give the kids
a scare, (hey little boy, you want some candy?) I could have been a
congressman, with a stick up my... assssk me if I like beimg a zombie
on halloween, hey, it's too good to pass (up)... (with) (bridge)
(verse) so, if you meet a zombie on halloween night... I recommend that
you stay calm and be very polite, if you're just a bit lucky he may have
already had his fill, maybe the two of you can just have a smoke and chill
(while) (bridge)

The Robots Are Here... (nuvocoke@gmail.com)
(verse) we regret to inform you, a disaster has occurred, a weed born
virus has wiped out most of the performers... but, the show must go on,
so we'll let robots sing their songs, and, hopefully they won't burn out
their own rusting transformers...
(verse) Mr. Natural, he survived because S.F. General kept him alive by
replacing most of his body parts with titanium... and though he's no
longer completely organic, he's one hell of a music mechanic, creating
instruments that can blow themselves, finger themselves and self strum
(change) that old hippie Rainbow, he was the first one to go, but now,
somehow, his artwork lives & breathes & moves, (on its own), so, after
painted Krishna's invocation, we'll introduce the mechanation while a
portrait of Bob Marley, featuring the beatles, will set the groove...
(verse) thanks to Dr. Dream's enhanced A.I. technology we have retainened
her somewhat over-strained psychy, it has been replicated and saved to a
flashdrive, so, the Dr. is still on, on, on, on, ,,, though her corporeal
self is gone, gone, gone, ...the imaginarium still thinks she's alive
(verse) Charles Haymarket went fast with a fiery spark and a blinding
flash while playing a devilish solo on his guitar... and Gary Garrett,
so it seems, never awoke from his flying dream, apparently he can still
be viewed.. way out there amongst the stars...
(change) Side Street Ricky & Oliver were out busking on a street corner
when the affliction took them both to meet their maker, but, their maker
sent most of their pieces back after they almost gave him a heart attack,
once they find their fingers, they may join us a little later...
(verse) Lady Zeitgeist & Ryan Voss produced one final, fatal album, a
track or two shall be spun in memorium, Ryan Cassatta & Whorehey lived
the longest, being so young must have made 'em the strongest, dreads,
glasses, tats, and piercings... have been preserved for public display
and proudly hung, (right there on the wall)
(verse) Nightmare Joey wailed loud 'n clear 'til the grim reaper spiked
his beer, now that ol' harp o' his will play the blues no more... and
speaking of harps, Marko finally showed up, just in time to smoke one up
and end it... like all the others, flat dead on the floor...
(change) Jimmy G told one last joke, then choked on all the ganja smoke,
that photo of him and Willie are the last remnant... JoDiAnna lost her
voice, that second hand air was not her choice and Luchan apparently
found out the hard way... that Lu-can't...
(verse) Dandylion wrote a play, just before she passed away, documenting
all the misdeeds that had been done, little Maria, she was the smart one,
got herself a guard dog and a handgun... she's no longer stalked, bothered,
or followed by anyone...
(verse) Jennifer Glee was on her own planet and Peter Webster was out of
town, along with Jade they managed to avoid all that havoc at the Sacred
Grounds... Little Eddy came along the very next day and said, "what's
happened here?" on the street he ran into Danny who said, "don't worry
about it... can I buy you a beer?"
(change) now you may wonder how come johnny managed to keep out of this
mess, well, on that fate filled night it just happened that Sarah wasn't
feeling her best... so, lucky for him, he was quietly sitting with her
just passing time, when he talked to Teddy & Fiona, later on, they had
already cleaned up and were doing just fine...
(end) so now you know why the robots are here singing their songs...
it's because no matter what happens, the show must go on, no matter what
happens,the show must go on, no matter what happens, the show must go on
