S.W.E. (THE NA NA NA SONG)
NA NA NA, NA-NA NA NA NA
NA-NA NA NA NA, NA-NA NAA NAA NAA NAA
NA NA NA , NA-NA NA NA NA
NA-NA NA NA NA , NA NA-NA-NA NA (2X)
STURDY WILD EQUIPMENT
KEEPS THEM COMING IN DROVES
THIS IS THE PUREST FANTASY
THAT WE ALL CAN KNOW
YOU DON’T HAVE TO TELL ME
YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND
I KNOW YOUR MIND CAN’T PROCESS
WHAT YOUR HEART DEMANDS
(NA NA NA…)
IS IT JUST DEMENTIA?
RADIO NOVELTY?
OR CAN WE ALL BE HONORED
WITH THIS PROSPERITY?
IT’S NOT YOUR POCKET’S DREAM GIRL
BUT A PILLOW FOR YOUR SOUL
IT’S LIKE A SUNSHINE SUNDAY
OR GREAT ROCK AND ROLL
(NA NA NA…)
I SEE YOU ON THE WATER
I SEE YOU IN YOUR BOAT
I SEE THE TEMPEST RISING
AS YOU TRY AND STAY AFLOAT
THIS STORM IT WILL LAST LONGER
THAN YOUR HEART CAN STAND
JUST LET ME KNOW AND I’LL MAKE SURE
YOU GET BACK TO DRY LAND
(NA NA NA…)
PLEASE TAKE THAT WHICH IS AT HAND (NA NA NA…)
PLEASE TAKE THAT WHICH IS AT HAND (NA NA NA…)

MARIA
MARIA, MARIA, COME TO ME NOW
FROM INSIDE MY SOUL YOU TRAVERSE THE STEPS
MARIA, MARIA, YOU’RE BLESSING MY BEING
WHETHER I BECKON YOU FORTH OR YOU ARRIVE UNANNOUNCED
SHE WILL BATHE MY SOUL
AND LEAD ME UP
THIS IS THE FREEDOM, THIS IS THE WIRE
TO THE ONE WHO SANG FIRST AND GAVE BIRTH TO DESIRE
MARIA IS OURS AND WE HAVE BEEN BLESSED
TO SING HERE WHERE THE HOLY GHOST WILL REST
THE PEOPLE ARE BROKEN, THEY NEED TO BE HEALED
MAYBE MARIA CAN BRING THEM TO YIELD
THE HILLS ARE ALIVE, THE STREETS AND THE PLAINS
THE HOUSES AND VILLAGERS WON’T BE THE SAME
SHE WILL BATHE THEIR SOULS
AND LEAD THEM UP
MARIA, MARIA, YOU’RE JUST WHAT THEY SAY
A MOONBEAM, A CLOWN, A WAVE ON THE SAND
WE THINK WE CAN HOLD YOU BUT YOU CAN’T BE CONTAINED
THE TRUEST OF GIFTS MUST BE GIVEN AWAY
AND YOU BATHE OUR SOULS
AND LEAD US UP

THE TRIP
LOOKING BACK UPON THIS TRIP
I SEE I’M ON A GOOD LITTLE SHIP
IT MOVES WHEN I TELL IT TO
CERTAIN PARTS ARE STILL LIKE NEW
LOOKING BACK UPON THIS CRUISE
THIS BODY’S BEEN FUN TO USE
EVEN THOUGH SOME MAY DISPUTE
SOME OF IT’S FINEST ATTRIBUTES
LIKE MY BRAIN (LIKE MY BRAIN)
LIKE MY TOES (LIKE MY TOES)
LIKE MY ARMS (LIKE MY ARMS)
OR MY NOSE (OR MY NOSE)
LIKE MY LEGS (LIKE MY LEGS)
OR MY GUTS (OR MY GUTS)
LIKE MY LUNGS (LIKE MY LUNGS)
OR MY BUTT (OR MY BUTT)
(REPEAT)
LET ME TELL YOU A STORY OF HOW IT ALL BEGINS
I WILL BE THE FROG AND YOU WILL BE THE SIN
LET ME SPIN A TALE FOR YOU OF THE FRACTURE AT ITS BIRTH
TRACE THE SYMPTOMS SO FAR BACK THAT THE ROOT WILL BE UNEARTHED
IS IT THE TABLE TURNING, IS IT THE INSIDES BURNING?
IS IT THE MUSIC OR IS IT INTRINSIC?
IS IT A CREATION, OR IS IT MUTATION?
IS IT ART OR JUST DEBRIS?
WHEN I WAS A BOY AND FOLKS WOULD COME TO VISIT
I’D SIT BY THE DOOR AND WATCH FOR THEIR CARS
HALF EXCITED FOR THE COMPANY, HALF AFRAID THEY WOULDN’T SHOW
FOUND MY WORTH IN THAT FICKLE BOULEVARD
FASCINATION STOLEN OUT FROM UNDER ME
BY FEAR OF ALL THAT IS AND NOT KNOWING WHO TO BE
IN RETROSPECT, I WAS INNOCENT UNIQUELY
WHEN I WAS A BOY AND I WOULD CONTEMPLATE EXISTENCE
I’D BE SO SCARED WITH NOWHERE TO RUN
A FEVER RIPPING THROUGH ME, DELIRIOUS WITH FEAR
NO COMFORT IN THE RISING OF THE SUN
FASCINATION BEATEN CLEAR OUT OF ME
BY FEAR OF ALL THAT IS AND NOT KNOWING HOW TO BE
IN RETROSPECT, I WAS INNOCENT UNIQUELY
GEEK NERD DORK OW
GEEK NERD DORK OW
GEEK NERD DORK OW
GEEK NERD DORK OW
YOU WILL FIND YOURSELF
WHEN YOU ESCAPE THOSE THAT WISH TO HIDE YOU
BUT ONLY A SMALL PORTION WILL BE REVEALED
IT MIGHT SEEM LIKE A SOLUTION
BUT IT’S ONLY WISHFUL THINKING
THE ANSWER WILL BE ITS OWN ORDEAL
HEY
HEY
THERE’S A LESSON IN THE BOOTY IMPRESSION
THERE’S A LESSON IN THE BOOTY IMPRESSION
THERE’S A LESSON IN THE BOOTY IMPRESSION
THERE’S A LESSON IN THE BOOTY IMPRESSION
THERE’S A LESSON IN THE BOOTY IMPRESSION
THERE’S A LESSON IN THE BOOTY IMPRESSION
THERE’S A LESSON IN THE BOOTY IMPRESSION
THERE’S A LESSON IN THE BOOTY IMPRESSION
