I Am The Cheese

Examinations
Explosions
An engineer
I am the career
All clear
The engineer
I am the free
The engineer
I am the blue
It'll be the death of you
I am the career
And the free
I am the cheese
Luminations
And regiments
An engineer
With a science degree
It's okay
Here
In a trench with me
The engineer
I am the cheese
It'll be the death of me
I am the
I am the
I am the cheese

my pants are wrinkled
and my tie awry
since i don't wear these things
all of the time
i'm dressed up for dinner
should the occasion arise
i'm ready and waiting
for us to synchronize
long distance love affair
she's in his hometown, he's not there
calls, calendars, promises, flights
ambition and love leading separate lives
dried out grapes are raisins
dries out plums are prunes
all from the reason
the sun that shines on you
you're just not waking
that sun's in your eyes
but where i'm now walking
we have but wee hours of night
chorus
i deal up your number
each digit makes a tone
i hear them in the dark
in my own time zone
i'm so far over
a difference of nine
but someday soon i'll wake up
and i won't be behind

Breastbone
04:11
|

breath hold for a minute
move no air within it
tip toe on the torso
two fingers on a stroll
under the sternum there's a rhythm
press your ear and listen
no less than a heartbeat apart
breastbone, i can feel it
press on you
breastbone, i can see it
move
nosecone of a midget
airplane dives down
rest now. yes you need it
lay still...sink into it
tap tone i can hear it
in the chest zone a small sound
no less than just a heartbeat apart
chorus x 2

all the days rhyme
'cause they all end in day
my thoughts remind me
of something i might say
amnesia, i need you to remind me
amnesia i need you
tell me your name
it's a bit of a blur
but something in your face
seems very familiar
amnesia, i need you to remind me
amnesia i need you to remind me of
you

A Fly In My Soup Joke
03:34
|
|||
i'm a little fly in your soup
two compound eyes stare at you
bathe in your both with water wings
making the flavors more appetizing
don't drown little fly in my soup
you're down with me
don't die 'cause death don't taste good
just dine with me
of waiter wait evaluate this soup
invalidate the pudding's proof
simmer down and hear my plea
a bug like me makes good company
chorus
i'm a little fly on your spoon
you talk to me, my wings buzz in tune
this ain't no joke so stop laughing
i'll make your meal so tantalizing
i'm a little fly in your soup

After Disaster
03:57
|

i smell like spit
what could it be?
i think the culprit...
it's me
my pants are wet
how can that be?
did i spill water?
it's pee!
i'm after disaster
it seems to be
i'm after disaster
prepare yourself for me
i'm after disaster
it's seems to me
so hold back your laughter
and feel for me
my glasses broke
what do you see?
i see two fingers
nope, three!
i lost my shoes
where have they gone?
must have walked away
no you have them on!
chorus x 2

Love Lately
05:26
|

i know i'm slightly out of date
but how can i anticipate?
perhaps i am too late
perhaps i am too late
my memories last just for awhile
that's why i don't know so much about staying in style
but i know that eating, an action that i keep repeating
it's easy and necessary
fasten my sleeve to my collar
this shirt cost a million dollars
'cause i'll pay for eating, a pleasure which i'm surely needing
for breathing and suscitating
i know i'm slightly out of date
but how can i anticipate?
perhaps i am too late
my funny dreams are just in my head
that's why i don't go so far from my comfortable bed
and i know that sleeping, a habit which i am upkeeping
it's very rehabilitating
bury my face in my covers
i could nap a million hours
'cause i value sleeping as much as i need to be eating
trust me, it's compulsatory
i know i'm slightly out of date
but how can i anticipate?
perhaps i am too late
perhaps i am too late

Here Come The Housewives
02:43
|

here come the housewives
what do they know?
what should i hang on to
and what's disposable
what should i carry on and
what should i throw
away away away?
these piles have got to go
these cards have got to change
here come the housewives
what do they know?
what should i hang on to
and what's disposable
here come the housewives
come say hello
a parade of pots and pans
along the garden hose
wash away away away away
this dirt has got to go
these cards have got to change
