Timing X

Wiggly World

they say the fittest shall survive yet the unfit may live wear gaudy colors or avoid display hey it don't matter it's all the same so i do this and i do that it's never straight up and down oh you got a nickel i got a dime i'd like ta get ta know ya but i haven't got the time you gotta walk like a mannequin roll like a tire act on reaction dodge the big spud fryer wiggle on the bottom wiggle on the top wiggle up the middle and laugh alot cause i'm living in a wiggly world i gotta tell ya i've been living in a wiggly world

Blockhead

never leaves a gap unfilled always pays on time always fits the bill he comes well prepared cube top squared off eight corners 90-degree angles flat top stares straight ahead stock parts blockhead never tips over stands up on his own he is a blockhead thinking man full grown he comes well prepared snake eyes

Strange Pursuit

intersecting love lines drew us closer every day always kept your distance when you felt my presence near you love keeps on rolling over you'd fly in retreat i would follow without shame a stupid spud staggering to the flame to be had and rehad an innocent victim of the pain now it's strange it's a strange pursuit i come running like the fat boy in lead shoes like the fat boy i'm huff puffing after you it's hopeless to hope for the one thing that i'm wanting 'cause it's strange it's a strange pursuit darling i'm dazzled but you know i'm too frazzled i've taken my mind apart and lost some of the pieces it never gets tough when you're gettin' real rough

S.I.B. (Swelling Itching Brain)

got a nervous kind of feeling got a painful yellow headache every picture in every magazine's turned real every face looks out and screams at me too real cold sweat on my collar dripping to my boots the waves of nauseous pain sets off the pressure pad alarms gotta get outta here gotta get outta here gotta get outta here gotta get outta here gotta painful swelling brain banging in my head gotta painful swelling brain and i called off sick gotta swelling itching pain got me pulling out my hair gotta swelling itching pain clutching at my brain got me laying on the floor think i left my senses seems like endless torture got me pulling out my hair driving me up the wall dripping out my eyes ears nose and mouth imploding my thoughts blasting holes in the front lawn now going outta my skull burning up my thoughts tearing me apart

Triumph Of The Will

it was a thing i had to do it was a message from below it was a messy situation it was desire for a girl i'm not a wanker or a banker i'm not afraid to take a risk it is the thing females ask for when they convey the opposite before i die i'll get another piece of pie if i have to lie when the well cries out for water it is a need that must be filled it goes beyond the laws of nature it takes a triumph of the will

The Day My Baby Gave Me A Surprize

got a surprize from my honey got a message from my girl when she picked up a pen from beside her bed and wrote me a scribbled note said she'd be coming back to see me that she would be visiting real soon gonna get up from her long white bed and leave this cold white room we would once more live together go out on a lovin' spree just like before the accident my baby would look at me i saw her sweet face trembling as she tried to open her eyes i jumped with the joy of a grateful boy the day my baby gave me a surprize
