Experimental dog But when I think of all your advice

Salivating dog I narrow my eyes Good dog Narrow my eyes dinner bell dinner bell do the bell thing Now let’s toast the sad cold fact dinner bell dinner bell ring Our love’s never coming back shoulder, bicep, elbow, arm and we’ll race to the bottom of a glass forearm, thumb, wrist, knuckle, palm so narrow your eyes middle, pinky, index, ring Narrow your eyes dinner bell dinner bell ding HALL OF HEADS I don’t want a pizza, I don’t want a piece of in the hall of heads peanut brittle, I don’t want a pear. Here look through the keyhole I don’t want a bagel I don't want a bean I wouldn’t like You a bag of beef or a beer or a This is the hall of heads cup of chowder, corn, cake or creamed cauliflower cause I’m One step through the doorway thing waiting for the dinner bell to do the bell Roll out that special head bell ring dinner bell dinner This is our favorite one Please don’t try to leave I don’t know whether I’d rather be having a bottle of vinegar Don’t leave the hall of heads I don’t know whether I’d rather be having an egg. having an order of bacon I don’t know whether I’d rather be Hide underneath the porch or whether I’d rather be having a basket of garlic bread. Hide down behind the furnace I’d having some pie or I don’t know whether rather be You can’t run away saving my appetite ‘cause I’m Your feet won’t let you run waiting for the dinner bell to do the bell thing can’t get away dinner bell dinner bell ring You You can’t really hide NARROW YOUR EYES Once you hear the call The song of the hall of heads I don’t want to change your mind

I don’t want to think about your mind You can’t run away They say love is blind Your feet won’t help you run

I don’t think you’re blind You can’t run away You don’t want to understand Out of the hall of heads

and I don’t want to shake your father’s hand and walk in the sand WHICH DESCRIBES and act like a man HOW YOU'RE FEELING

I get on the bus Which describes how you’re feeling all the time and ride past our stop Which describes how you’re feeling all the and though I’m late feeling all the time

I can’t get off There’s this guy in the sky and he makes you want to

I just can’t bear to tell you some lies want to make you sigh, like the time and narrow your eyes when you felt like you’re feeling all the time narrow your eyes and you cried at the cracks in the ceiling all the time said “I’m feeling fine” but it didn’t really rhyme We’ll take back every thing we said you it didn’t rhyme, overseas Split up all the things and move ahead Hey now everybody now %r\ describes how you’re feeling all the time TURN AROUND o Hey now everybody It describes how you’re feeling I was working all night in my office Hey now every body now

when a man I had recently killed Which describes how you’re feeling all the time Who’s that standing out my window? called up from a phone near building when you lie that your life’s unappealing all the time me my I found a new friend I looked the at but your lie rhyme with the word overseas so out window him doesn’t underneath my pillow overseas there’s this guy he had the same obsequious manner that the reason I had him killed Come on and wreck my car (repeat) who describes how you’re feeling all the time was

I this in his mind he can find how you’re feeling all the time so to calm my nerves sang song Aren’t you the guy who hit me in the eye? (repeat) to him, over the phone from behind distant lines Please pass the milk, Please (repeat) even straighter than his spine Turn around, around turn Leave me alone, leave me alone which is fine There’s a thing there that can be found Who’s knocking on the wall? which is fine Turn around, turn around and describes how you’re feeling all the time It’s a human skull on the ground All alone all alone SEE THE CONSTELLATION Human skull on the ground all by myself Turn around What’s that blue thing doing here?

I lay railroad track my head on the of I was out by myself in the graveyard Something grabbed ahold my hand Stare at the sky all painted up I was doing an interpretive dance I didn’t know what had my hand Your train is gone, won’t be coming back all when I felt something heavy and pointed but that’s when my troubles began

See the constellation ride across the sky strike me in the back of my neck I cannot understand you

No cigar, no lady on his arm and then the ghost of my dance instructor I don’t understand you

Just a guy made of dots and lines pushed me down into an open grave I don’t understand the things you say

and as dirt rained down she played a xylophone I can’t understand a single word Two years ago - moved from my town and sang me this song I don’t understand you I was looking up past the city lights I just don’t understand you But the city lights got in my way We were waving our arms out the window I cannot understand you of a fast-moving passenger train I found my mind on the ground below I don’t understand you acting in an irresponsible fashion I was looking down - it was looking back until the engineer whose back had been turned I heard a sound, I turned around I was in the sky all dressed in black and who we thought would find us highly amusing I turned around to find the thing Can you hear what I see in the sky? quickly swiveled his head around that made the sound and his face which was a paper-white mask of evil Mysterious whisper (repeat) IF I WASN'T SHY sang us this song The day that love came to play I’d burn all the uniforms I’m having a heart attack I’d burn all the “Ask Me” buttons HYPNOTIST OF LADIES I’m having a heart attack (repeat) I’d burn all toe intercoms He’s a hypnotist, hypnotist of ladies Fingertips I’d burn all the time clock cards You’re getting sleepy, very sleepy Fingertips I’d steal somebody’s Cadillac He’s a hypnotist, hypnotist of ladies I walk along darkened corridors I’d steal anything I lack Never had a pocket watch, never counted backwards and I walk along darkened corridors (repeat) I’d steal all the microphones You won’t remember why you liked him from all the masters of ceremony SPACE SUIT

I’d ask you, if you don’t mind, FINGERTIPS to kiss you a hundred times Everything’s catching on fire Yes, everything’s catching on fire
