I freeze the words you say
I examine them mid-air, they are
Around you
Across the quantum space
Into the distant folds of time
I put you
I'll show you once and tell you twice
Let the engines all ignite
Allow the waves to commence what's right
I love you
Your dark hair waves suspended
The expression on your face is real
But silent
I really should make it to the pod
But how will we reach the rings without
A pilot
I showed you once, but that's the past this time
Our course is now a bad, bad plight
We'll never make it, it's all red lights
I'll miss you
How will we reach the rings without
A pilot?

You say you want to shake hands
Well I'll thank you to never touch me again
My friend, you want to have a hug
I gotta say, get away from me right now, seriously
Don't you know that things are quarantined
All I'm trying to do is buy an onion
For the love of god what are you talking about
I look like your cousin, and he killed himself?
Why don't you
Just let me by
Don't give me that
Bullshit about
How you're gonna buy all the toilet paper up
Didn't you know hand sanitizer actually makes you accumulate
More pathogens
All I wanted to do
Was buy an onion
You're shoving that baby and your grandmother in my face
Asking me to kiss them on the face
What are you, insane
Don't you know that spreads disease and makes old people and dumb babies get sick
You say you won't cancel your performance art contest
That it's got something to do with being oppressed
Jesus what about your friends with lupus?
I don't give a shit what House says, they deserve to live just the same as us

Drink your drink, eat your eats
Go out onto the birthday streets
Hey

I wanna run
wanna run run run
wanna run just like a dog
But nothin I do ever gets me through
to the sunnier side of the log
I try and I try like a good man should
She shoot me down in the bog
So I wanna run
Wanna run run run
wanna run just like a dog
Under the wheels
Under the wheels
Death is an illusion
Under the wheels
Under the wheels
Death is rotund
Ever seen a snake go up under a rake and hide like a prison cell
You think nothin' you do's a big deal to you and your life is a living hell
If life's just a series of random shit come with me you might as well
Have you ever seen a snake go up under a rake and hide like a prison cell
Under the wheels
Under the wheels
Death is an illusion
Under the wheels
Under the wheels
Death is rotund
Do you ever wanna gape at some sour grapes and complain just like the fox
You wanna take your life and enhance the strife by putting it in a box
If you push it too far and shut it too tight you'll never get past the locks
Do you ever wanna gape at some sour grapes and complain just like the fox
Do you wanna go
Under the wheels
Under the wheels
Death is an illusion
Under the wheels
Under the wheels
Death is rotund
I wanna slink and creep around like a Frighteners-level ghost
I could walk through the walls and listen in to the things that matter most
If it pisses me off I could Swayze out and turn worst laid plans to toast
I wanna slink and creep around like a Frighteners-level ghost
First I gotta go
Under the wheels
Under the wheels
Death is an illusion
Under the wheels
Under the wheels
Death is rotund
Under the wheels we run
Every day, every time
Under the wheels we run
Every day, we get away for now

Nixon

Down in Carthage years ago
There lived a boy named Nixon
He was known for looking danger in the eye
He bought himself a Camero
And went driving in the quarry every night
His friends would gather around his car
And talk about the women
They'd seen that day at school; they felt so cool
But the women wouldn't follow Nixon
They had much, much better things to do
Things gets so frustrating that you just want to hit the gas and drive
But Nixon wanted something more, he just wanted to feel like he was alive
Go home Nixon, don't don't get behind the wheel
Don't hit the pedal Nixon, there's just got to be a better way to feel
One night from behind the rocks another car drove up
Nobody had seen the boy before
He called out "Nixon, come on down -
I'm gonna show you who rules this road"
Nixon stepped out of his car - the challenge was accepted
They pulled their slips out of their leather coats
Nixon felt the fire build
And the crowd began to explode
Things gets so frustrating that you just want to hit the gas and drive
But Nixon wanted something more, he just wanted to feel like he was alive
Go home Nixon, don't don't get behind the wheel
Don't hit the pedal Nixon, there's just got to be a better way to feel
Metal hit the metal and the cars roared down the limestone path
All the thoughts of angst seemed buried deep within the past
The stranger gained until his engine stopped
But Nixon was going way too fast
Blinded by the way that this world makes him feel
He failed to see the cliff was dead ahead
When reality set in
He just smiled and then hit the gas instead
Things gets so frustrating that you just want to hit the gas and drive
But Nixon wanted something more, he just wanted to feel like he was alive
Go home Nixon, don't don't get behind the wheel
Don't hit the pedal Nixon, there's just got to be a better way to feel
