Oh look, another album! This one feels like the first (at least somehwat) thought-out collection of songs in a good while, maybe since Jazz for Millenials. Even if there was a year (~) gap in between recording the first and second half of the record. It's fine. A totally unessential entry in every way that you absolutely 100% need to hear right away. Now with 100% more published lyrics below!

1--Dog Did Die
Eating macaroni then my dog did die
(18 more things)...then my dog did die
2--U for the Duration
(INSTRUMENTAL)
3--The Grass is Always Grass
I was lacking pasta in the pasture
and had a fridge full of bird flu
The grass is always grass, Belinda
Believe me, it's not you
Wanda cannot mask her pain
oh she tries she tries she tries
Her pain is my pain too, you know
and no tears are worth the cry
The summer of the unreal stole
my will to carb-load love
Sharon canceled Valentine's day
You think OJ still has that glove?
I feel the flesh a cooking
Inside nostrils born apart
Unearth an edging apathy
Chef Alyssa only cooks with farts
4--Cryogenically Frozen Broken Men
Cryogenically frozen broken men
Make up the roster for the sports team... again
5--Heart Hog
You are a heart hog
You're so darn cute
I love you so much cuz you...
6--Death & Wealth
(LYRICS BY MARK BAUMER)
7--Boardroom Behavior
Slinging monkey fetuses across the grand boardroom
Nothing that we haven't seen from these gentlemen
Chad stuck Charles with a syringe containing a disease
The CIO laughed at that one and then he slit his throat
Corporate dog piss is served in ornate plastic bottles
To the lucky overachievers who survived the cuts
They pour it over each other's head in a ritual dance
And they sacrifice Gerald for wearing khaki pants, poor Gerald
8--Oh Totally, Sure
Oh totally, sure
9--I'm Lucky (in Pennsyltucky)
Moving right along
There's bologna in this song
If your sherpa is a twerp
You're in luck, you stupid jerk
The kaleidoscope popes
really had 'em on the ropes
And the unicorn shortage
was a lark, you piece of garbage
I'm feeling very lucky
Here in lovely Pennsyltucky
made-up place, derogatory
but never ever foggy
10--(Prelude to NFPF)
(INSTRUMENTAL)
11--Not-for-Profit Fatshaming
My issues these days revolve around
really not being sure
If a thought that pops into my mind
is a song or just impure
Lyrics wanting some attention
Like sonic dissolution,
Not-for-Profit fatshaming
Yea that sounds like more pollution
But the ringing gamble wiggles out
from underneath the rug
Sitting on my face I can't decipher
If it's snug
The water in this city
is polluted so they say
And the water in the ponds
is turning all of the frogs gay
Phelicia is a criminal
Crimes are what she loves
At auction with her grandmother
She bid on OJ's glove
She hung the glove in her apartment
gave it pri•mo real
estate above the mantle
she thought it'd seal the deal
of winning her a suitor
a boy to pay the bills
someone on the weekends
she could out with and kill
People from all sects
Serialize that shit
But you can't get far in that depart
they've figured out that grift
12--Buckling Mug
Do I look any different to you
Gone is my buckling mug
I've started meditation
Now I'm all warm rays and smug
I've contemplated the life of a coin
and I can be both weird and warm
I can dissect an animal's brain
and feel the light source from within
13--Xi is Me is Every Person You Can See
Xi is Me is Every Person You Can See
14--Drone in a Hotel Room
The history of altruism
All tied up in a bow
A drone in a hotel room
Only so many places it can go
My hyper anxiety diligence
Thrilling most with a scoff
If a drone flies in your throat
It makes it hard to cough
15--Hovel
I sometimes wish I lived in a hovel
But it was nice and dry
I watched it turn from day to dusk
Then dusk to night, but why
16--On the Air at Yoshi in Woodbridge
Broadcasting my podcast from a local sushi joint
Sure I'm in the bathroom and there doesn't seem to be a point
Croutons or shoeshines, I haven't earned a dime
Since at least the first six months of 1999
Tasering Japanese maples outside the one-pump station
As I cram a bunch of knowledge into the mind that never forgave him
The next wave inferior chafing proves insufficient at best
For the audio content wars, it's best just to confess
17--Parroting America
They sold gender fluid baked goods
At the memorial day parade
And some unruly livestock
Got handsy with a grenade
If you've never seen an old man cry
Have you really ever palmed a glyph
When we're parroting America
We're handcuffed to Ruby Ridge
(SOME FUCKING IDIOT TALKING ON YOUTUBE)
There's a wet secular skyline
With fat casserole fangs
Double stuffed with rigatoni
And that rig's been cubed with lamb
(SOME FUCKING IDIOT TALKING ON YOUTUBE)
So sweep up all the body parts
Strewn like rain out on Main (Main Street)
Then try to parrot America, you maniac
An obese bullet dulls the pain
(SOME FUCKING IDIOT TALKING ON YOUTUBE)
18--The Dangerous Illuminated
I am me a house
I need to wear a hat
To stop my fingers from
Digging out the hole
The skylight or abyss
From underneath a deck
It's still part of the home
The whatever will you call it
Underneath your fingernails
Stinging in the abstract
Indeterminate pain
The dangerous illuminated
when it spreads to the face
A disease if you please
For everyone to see
But especially me
19--Dog Cattle
I want to write songs so heartbreaking
With no real world trauma in the bank
I want to steal every creation
To bribe the dog cattle up the ranks
I guess in this world the cows the shepherd
And they have switched size of body as well
Little miniature steer doing just that my dear
And still I search for a sadness I can sell
20--Light Your Eyes with the Love of Me
Light your eyes with the love of me
A wedding of Marys
I'll be marvelous one day
A natural princess with wings
That are totally my style
But when they get too tight
I'll make a deal with the devil himself for new wings
21--Modular Straits
I call my dog goombah and it's not a racist thing
but the razorblades on my boots are an entirely different story
The land of the frauds and the home of the fakes
I'd rather spend my time slinging shit upon the modular straits
Nude tutelage in the scriptures of red moss is
Encrypting zealot software with the latest ethnic slurs
I'm an ableist, I am able to do anything
I can talk, I can argue, I can complain and I can sing
I can't sing
22--Store Brand Scorpions (Plastic Bae)
My mind tingles when I buy (buy buy)
My mind tingles when I buy (buy buy)
Saw a rat alive inside the nude bog
Didn't purchase anything and yet
A smile lived upon that rodent's face
Went to a barbecue and burnt my eyes
On all the shiny new accessories
Jim said his grill was made of the finest lace
My mind tingles when I buy (buy buy)
My mind tingles when I buy (buy buy)
In the night's nightmares there's a window
Had no right to fight fairly or square
The circular dementia of the day
All of the store brand scorpions are squirming
In the bag that I brought to the store
Cover my head in plastic, I'm their plastic bae
23--Building an Uninhabitable Space
(FOUND SOUNDS + OTHER SOUNDS, ETC. ETC.)
