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

In Your Pepper
03:47

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

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
