(Keys rattle, and a door creaks open...) So… this is my place. It’s pretty cozy. Over there is my kitchen… yeah, and then right over here is my bed… Sorry that it’s a bit messy, you know I wasn’t expecting any guests *awkward chuckle* It gets a bit cold in the winter *longer pause* I don’t know why I told you that. Anyways... over there are my plants. I gave them names: this one’s Gregory... Persephone... Evangeline... Artyem... that one’s Utah. This is Boy Crazy, here to take you on a journey: of love, fear hate passion. So buckle up, and prepare yourself, for what is to come. 1,2,3,4! All my pots and pans are on the floor ‘cause my landlord still hasn’t fixed the leaky roof. My sheet pans they don't fit the oven and my burners are all crooked, how am I going to make dinner? The walls are so thin I can hear all the things that my neighbors do, especially the raucous coitus... The laundry still takes quarters and the bank’s already closed… Does anybody have any quarters? Livin’ like I’ve always been told to. Livin’ like I’ve always been told to. Guess it could be worse… Well, it's close to public transit and right near where I work. There's almost enough room in here for the things I can't afford, but still not enough for the things that I can. I guess the neighbors are nice, in spite of their insatiable appetites. I guess the rent’s okay! Livin’ like I’ve always been told to. Takin’ from the hats won’t save you. Guess it could be worse…

Jumpin’ out, hit the scene -- feelin’ hot, oh baby you know what I mean. Play the game, catchin’ eyes -- we do it every night, but I can not say why I just want a little space -- too much -- a little time -- enough -- a little love -- it’s such a total waste to be completely in between you and a brand new me The siren call drifts on in my head, pulls me along the cool riverbed. This raft it feels like I’m homebound. Just keep me off of solid ground. The siren call drifts on in my head, pulls me along the cool riverbed. This raft it’s takin’ me home now. Carefree float, kickin back, so content -- ain’t nothin I could think to lack -- Just hang on, stay afloat, I guess one day all go the way of the pay phone Wait there’s not enough space, don’t have too much time, don’t say such is life. These legs they will fight -- gotta stay in the light -- kick, claw, scratch and bite. The siren call drifts on in my head, pulls me along the cool riverbed. This raft it feels like I’m homebound. Just keep me off of solid ground. The siren call drifts on in my head, pulls me along the cool riverbed. This raft it’s takin’ me home now.

Co-Author 03:11
Been tryin’ to write a novel since I was twelve It’d look so pretty sitting on that shelf But I don’t have the patience to do it by myself Can’t get the words out from where they dwell I need a coauthor - but I got nothing to offer I need a partner - a closer or a starter I need a coauthor - like someone from Oxford Or wherever you have graduated from. Been big on fantasy and science fiction ‘Cause stories in the real world have too much friction Don’t have the words to meet this predilection I need someone to give me that proper diction I’d send you a manuscript And you’d return it covered in red ink From my mind all other thoughts would slip Ignoring sleep I wouldn’t catch a wink ‘Til you and I were proud of what we’d made Worth it all the time it took Looking at the words we read Oh - it’d be such a lovely book…

Rainy Day 02:39
I woke up on that morning, couldn't believe what I was seeing The whole world around me had turned into a dream The giants they were burning, and the oceans were jumping from the sea Then the man came on the TV: and shouted it's okay. He said that it’s okay, but it's not okay I fell asleep on that same night, couldn't believe what I was seeing The old world that I once knew was once again in my dreams. The kings and queens of the prairie were once again on their epic journey. And the savage ursine lord of the north still had ice beneath his feet. Then the radio woke me up and I heard the expert say: She said that it’s too late... She said it’s too late... Oh, but I don’t think it’s too late.

Competition 03:54
Paycheck after paycheck, bill after bill The only thing that can distract me is what’s happening on the hill They promised lower taxes, and to save my dying job Now they’re drinking champagne And my rent keeps going up I'm finding out it's all a competition What more can I sell, what more can I buy? I don’t care who its from and I don’t care why. If it’s not on Amazon how good could it be? I’ll look the other way so long as shipping’s free Paycheck after paycheck, bill after bill I’ll throw anyone under the bus Just to get my fill Call me a class traitor, call me what you will I don't need to listen cuz you're at the bottom of the hill I'm finding out it's all a competition What more can I sell, what more can I buy? I don’t care who its from and I don’t care why. If it’s not on Amazon how good could it be? I’ll look the other way so long as shipping’s free It’s a bull market so I sold my soul to the lowest bidder And I climbed my way to the bottom rung to get a closer look at the competition It’s a bear market so I try to buy back all I’ve sold And this corporate America’s got its boot on my neck But I like it

I’m lost without a cause Sure I had my share of flaws Not sure how I got here And my way back out ain’t clear Well I know one day I’ll be found But I doubt I’ll be around When it happens send my best regards And you’ll find me up in the stars Oh yeah Well I’m lost without a trace Suspended in this empty place Can’t help looking down upon All these meaningless everyday goings on Well I know one day I’ll be found But I’m not gonna be around When it happens send my regards I guess it just wasn’t in my cards I’m lost for good now I’m sure I never got time to just explore The first attempt that I made Just wasn’t enough I’m afraid Well I know one day I’ll be found But I doubt I’ll be around When it happens send my best regards And you’ll find me up in the stars Well what is this that I see? Someone comin’ down for me! Well I knew one day I’d be found Turns out I was around Never had to send my regards Just had to let down my guard Oh, Oh Oh, Oh no!

We’re Gonna Fight On You ain’t no competition Yeah we’re gonna fight on You ain’t no competition ‘Cause when push comes to shove When kick comes to kick Know that we’re gonna Gonna Fight on We’re Gonna Fight On You ain’t no competition Yeah we’re gonna fight on You ain’t no competition ‘Cause when push comes to shove When kick comes to kick Know that we’re gonna Keep fighting on It’s a new kind of market But I still can’t buy back all I’ve sold And your credit score won’t buy clean air Even though you’ll need it With their boots still on our necks And we’re fighting for each breath we take It’s about time that we push them off Or we’re not going to make it

Nuclear winter’s got its perks There’s no more lines for shopping clerks I just walk in, take what I need And it’s always cold, never liked the heat Radiation’s not so bad It cooks my food, charges my iPad Mutation got my hands now there’s four But I can’t complain ‘cause I can hold you more The only thing my dad asked me when i last saw him is how i learned to stop worrying and love the Bomb. Well, Dad if you’re listening I hope you’re well, ‘Cause life in the aftermath is really quite swell. The president went underground with thirty girls: his own harem. They’ll be back in a thousand years, but honestly we’re doing fine up here. My wife and I have bred like rats. To feed our kids hunt with our ears like bats, if our food supply ever hits a hitch Then we’ll just go down and eat the rich. The only thing my dad asked me when i last saw him is how i learned to stop worrying and love the Bomb. Well life in the afterglow is really quite rad as long as you don’t mind working with four hands There’s no more student debt and no more loans! So, my wife and thousand kids and I can finally have a home. So how I learned to stop worrying and love the Bomb? Well maybe the Bomb was the least of our worries all along.
