The fifth installement of the series informally known as 'yellow' is perhaps more experimental in nature. A concept record about obese yoda's slot machine gambling addiction, a must-listen, a record for now, needed.... more than ever.

01 Palindrome Johnny
Hit the high watermark
Of letting myself go
Searching for beginnings
And ends
But you can't have one without the other
You can't make mincemeat for your brother
When you are Siamese twins
So palindrome Johnny always yearns to start again
A head start
clean shave
A part from any other words you've made
He's got his own book
He’s got a new look
He's mindful of every part you took
02 A New Decade's Beginning
I raised the hatchet beyond the old wind
Only kin of the allotted are the ones they're letting in
Nothing to turn to, no way to spin it
A new decade’s beginning, baby, do you think we will be in it?
Minty innocents love their silver
As the infidels invade us on the 7th of December
Lexus says it is a month to remember
But the golden man's on fire and he’ll soon just be some embers
03 Honeyblossom in the Insomniac Widowersphere
This night sky
Accosted by
Alabaster
Tones that seem
Unlikely to be
Resolved anytime soon
Honeyblossom in the insomniac widowersphere
Tastes different than you think
Though I've tried
Believe me
It’s not easy
my cellphone camera
Operates at
Avery low quality
04 Mystics v Aces in the Future Forever
Take it easy
On my starving largess
It doesn't have the access code
And red is the only color that it knows
Where to buy a button?
Where is the future free?
Mystics vs aces, baby
Don't speak of forever with me
05 My Way?
Regrets, I've had a few
But then again, too many to list right now
In time, I'll take what's mine
But for now, I'm totally content to kowtow
Coupons on the back of receipts
Like a teardrop on a tattooed cheek
Don't know who set the plot ablaze?
Is this really… my way?
06 Ending Things
I'm thinking about "ending things"
But it's not what you think
We don't say what we mean
We aren't one with the wild
We don't know anything
We take turns being mean
Under cover of stress
There's no end to this thing
We can't clean up the mess
07 Warm Profiteering, or Startling Barflies
What a curious upheaval of the facts
That's what it seems to me
90 naked nuns
But no ma'am you can not have one
Not demons but a lack of angels
Women suffer: that is their fate
Startling barflies
In the hellscape, waiting for it
What’s left but warm profiteering
The actionists are cracking
Say aloha to the eco-coders
And whack-a-mole, Jack
08 Makeshift Apeshit Modus Operandi
Whatever you’re dreaming of, well
It’s not enough
Rooting for the Yankees, but
Only after 9/11
It seemed like a good idea, but
You can never reckon with heaven
A health push on Halloween
Is a very bad idea
Like a casual amputation
That's my makeshift apeshit modus operandi
09 The Soggy Serenity of a Low Light Perennial
I prefer a different tact
To brave for inaction, and prepare for the wrath
Love is God in the eye of the sun
The solemn serenity of a forgotten son
We destroy every proud obstacle
That keeps people from knowing God
We capture their rebellious thoughts
And teach them to obey Christ
10 Odd Year
Shine a light on the dead dingo
My brother in the gutter
The flamingo meat is ripe
We better feast tonight
Calling on the overworked dictator
Of the Shallow end department of quality control
Get with the times, the year is ending
Act fast, move right, sell your soul
For maximum profits ya know
Overnight genetic engineering
We can be different
The new year is calling my name
11 Honeymoo
All the cows got married
Then they took a honeymoo
With bumblebee chaperones
In Tuscaloosa saloons
There was no more meat
No more houses to slaughter
The wasps and horseflies cavorted
In real estate cavalcades
The Alabamans revolted
Cried for absent bovine
They dissected every insect
Picked out what meat they could find
But hidden in bars
In between stanzas and fugues
The honeymoo patriots
Soared like moths to the light
12 I'm Literally Italy
Neutral zone infraction
Overzealous embellishment
I'm literally Italy
Despite what you're telling me
The DNA test is festering
In false positive seasoning
Italian horror in gelatin
Caked on a kill count glass ceiling
13 Monolith is Dominoes
A schleppy guy just swimming in women
He flips the script and now he’s broken and timid
Backwards rhyme scheme, monolith is dominoes
Take your chances on a dinosaur in pantyhose
I submit an orca wielding a knife
As my final thesis - is that alright?
See the prior results are ready
I'm a bit unsteady in the light
SEQUENTIAL
