We say it like its true then watch it put down its roots
And blossom from the gossip, into truth
We're in the weeds up to our knees, it's
Hard to tell the poison from the fruit
CHORUS
Look out below! The whole damn thing's about to blow!
Gone are all the good days, but hey
At least we get to watch the show!
Speak up, sing loud, if you can't let them hear you now
We'll be winning in a rat race, from here until
The bottom falls out
So take a walk around the block and do what you do
Those sunny skies are singing just for you,
But the weather man has bigger plans so
Dress for nasty weather and stay tuned
Teach a man to fish and watch him eat every day
A tender tuna steak or cod filet, but
Feed him to the sharks and he won't
Ever want to fish another day
CHORUS
BRIDGE
There's a rumor right between the lines
Some say it's about time and the end is nigh and near
Fortune tellers dress you up just to bring you down
But there's always an update to keep you coming 'round
When will the fire and the brimstone stop the clock?
With all these advertisements left to watch?

Come on darlin' don't you worry
There's no rush and there's no hurry
Turn a little light on,
Dig and keep on diggin' on the the ones you love
Stand keep standing, dance keep dancing
Take a little weight off
Dance around the room with the ones you love
All your life
CHORUS
Tongue-tied, twilight, star-eyed,
Laugh a little louder tonight
Old traditions, superstitions
Put a little smile,
Dance and keep on digging on the ones you love
Joys and pleasures, buried treasures
These are things that last forever
Turn a little light on,
Dig and keep on digging on the one you love
All your life, and all the good times

Parking Wars

The other day I went out drivin'
In that hatchback wagoneer,
And as I parked by your apartment
Your nosy neighbor stopped to stare
I did the reverse light,
The head check, and the
Clutch-coast, but the curb was just too close
Rolled up the windows tilted sideways
With two wheels up on the curb, that's when your
Neighbor started cursing, and it
Seemed so well rehearsed, she did the
Shake down,
And the break down,
And the take down,
She said 'Get off my curb and get lost'
CHORUS
Well if you treat me like a dog I'll leave a
Present on your lawn, and I'll move on
La da dee da dumb, la da dee da dumb,
A lotta' people can be, La da dee da dumb
How 'bout last week I had a big job,
Out across the Delaware,
It was me and Fraatz and Garvey,
Throwing couches down the stairs
We did the back stack,
And the flat pack,
With a bad back,
We got twenty bucks a man,
Locked up the truck and took a walk down
To the city sandwich shop, but just then
Up drove Mr. No-Fun, looking down his nose at us
He did the shake down,
And the breakdown,
And the take down,
He said 'Get this truck off of my lot'
CHORUS
BRIDGE
If you spent more of your time being nice or polite,
Like a 'Hello', 'Thank You', 'Yes Please', and 'Alright',
If you treat me right I might be more inclined,
If you force my hand then I'm the stubborn kind
CHORUS
