I'm so far down I'm going sideways There's so many hours now in my days But six feet on the surface, they say Beats six feet underground anyway I'm hunkered down In a government town Infected world surrounds me now There's so many hours now in my days I'm so far down I'm going sideways I'm hunkered down In a government town Infected world surrounds me now

All the writing on the ceiling I think Vice was too forgiving now Oh yeah. How did it get there? What is that you are concealing? Green amphibian still breathing Oh yeah. How did it get there? You sent the Saguenay reeling I got a sinking, Caramilk feeling Oh yeah. How did it get there? All I want is to be in your pepper I just want you to leave me forever

Easy Way Out 03:01
Remember when you were young -- you shone like the sun And all the silver's around you now But no gold for no one Find an easy way out You gotta be crazy -- go to have a real need Say a prayer for the priesthood They're down on their knees Find an easy way out I don't know where you are, but I know that you're out there I don't know what to say, so I keep to myself I'm feeling totally alone, but I know that I'm home now And I'm freezing inside though I know that I'm warm Hey you out in the hall -- feeling lonely and old There's no kiss on the back page and the story is told Find an easy way out

Swordplay 03:41
Fitness is slipping, I'm losing all my mittens At the park -- the park of the swordplay games Who you've been kissing? Playing with their kittens Open my heart -- and pour it all out I will sometimes tick you off But I'll always pick you up And if I should take your glass I will drink from the other side Business is slipping, credit cards are flipping It's so hard -- playing these old board games Sure as I'm sittin', trousers barely fittin' Don't laugh I'm feeling ashamed It took me years to tell I wasn't feeling so well And there's no one to blame Fitness is slipping, I'm losing all my mittens At the park -- the park of the swordplay games I will sometimes tick you off But I'll always pick you up And if I should take your glass I will drink from the other side This song is over But you don't believe me If no one's leaving, I'll start from the beginning Fitness is slipping, I'm losing all my mittens At the park -- the park of the swordplay games

This I know You can't hold Jim Clench down If it snows, he's gonna find his way down This I know You can't hold Jim Clench down If it snows, he's gonna find his way downtown Who says we won't see you around? Who says we won't wait around This I say You can't hold Steve Lang down If it rains, he's gonna find his way down This I say You can't hold Steve Lang down If it rains, he's gonna find his way downtown Who says we won't see you around? Who says we won't wait around This I know You can't hold Rick Danko down If it storms, he's gonna find his way down This I know You can't hold Rick Danko down If it storms, he's gonna find his way downtown Who says we won't see you around? Who says we won't wait around

Jardinova 04:14
We're gonna figure our situation out this year Jardinova, let's get out of here We're gonna figure our situation out this year Jardinova, let's get out of here I will listen to both positions, but But now it seems we're unanimous

Fast-paced in the sun, in a blazer -- I feel awesome Palpatine and the press I must confess -- it's so maudlin No one's here, it's so queer, it's my fault -- who's the boss, now? Aubergine's the machine and in fact -- it's an honour Where did Roscoe go? Move over for the half-boy Out of place in the dark, in the park -- he's a Scambler Gotta paper the room, it's absurd -- he's a gambler Where did Roscoe go? Move over for the half-boy Fast-paced in the sun, in a blazer -- I feel awesome Palpatine and the press I must confess -- it's so maudlin Where did Roscoe go? Move over for the half-boy Move over for the half-boy Move over for the half-boy Move over for the half-boy
