Born On Halloween 02:06
lyrics
buy track
My parents escaped from the booby hatch Born on Halloween They made love in a pumpkin patch Born on Halloween The sky was raining candy corn Born on Halloween Nine months later I was born Born on Halloween A skeleton for a midwife Born on Halloween Cut the cord with a butcher knife Born on Halloween After nursing mother's breast Born on Halloween They laid me down in a vulture's nest Born on Halloween Witches snuck into the nursery Born on Halloween To curse me with lifelong misery Born on Halloween

I Live With My Mother 02:19
lyrics

Mama says, "Son you're a slob" "Jesus Christ, just get a job" I help out, laundry and things Pull out couch, spine against springs I live with my mother I live with my mother I live with my mother I live with my mother Mama says, "When will you wed?" Mama stop hogging the bed Cook and clean, chore after chore Sleeping bag, dirt basement floor I live with my mother I live with my mother I live with my mother I live with my mother But it's quite nice not paying rent Paper bag, jar of rubber cement I live with my mother

Bathed In Cologne 02:45
lyrics

Wish I were olfactory impaired When I share an elevator with him Ten flights to the office, I don't care I'll the stairs, take the stairs Bathed in cologne Bathed in cologne His scent is so offensive to the nares don't breathe the air within a half-mile of him Old Spice and Brut are nice compared Why must he wear the musk he wears? Bathed in cologne Bathed in cologne In passing exchange pleasantries With the man who smells like the seventies I'm begging on my hands and knees Stop saturating your extremities With a scent once purchased at Genovese We all have our own insecurities But we also have responsibilities To consider those with asthma and allergies Bathed in cologne Bathed in cologne Bathed in cologne Bathed in cologne

Why Must Children Stare? 01:59
lyrics
buy track
In the market checkout line Groceries that are not yet mine Mild tacos, frozen fries Child locks her evil eyes Why must children stare? Why must children stare? Doctor's office waiting room Slight sense of impending doom Parents seem oblivious Child's beam insidious Why must children stare? Why must children stare? Graveyard visiting Grandmom Distant sound of choir song Child spotted all alone Hiding behind Grandmom's stone Why must children stare? Why must children stare? Why must children stare? Why must children stare?

Livin' With Lena 03:47

Looks like I'm livin' with Lena Livin' with Lena Horne Little shrines of Lena throughout her Lena throughout her home Looks like I'm livin' with Lena Livin' with Lena Horne Little shrines of Lena throughout her Lena throughout her home Collages compiled of clippings from magazines Decoupaged to cut wood Affirmation banner that reads "I Got It Bad and That Ain't Good" Lyrics to "Love Me or Leave Me" adorn the loo Printed by letterpress A mannequin that's dressed like Lena On the cover of Porgy & Bess Looks like I'm livin' with Lena Livin' with Lena Horne Little shrines of Lena throughout her Lena throughout her home Looks like I'm livin' with Lena Livin' with Lena Horne Little shrines of Lena throughout her Lena throughout her home Candles lit around a bust Once sculpted in a ceramics class Painted rocks in the garden showcasing Lena's many hairstyles of the past Stills from the noteworthy guest spot on The Muppet Show Neatly displayed in a row If she's not the most devoted Lena Horne fan around My name's not Le Grand Gambino (applause) Thank you Looks like I'm livin' with Lena Livin' with Lena Horne Little shrines of Lena throughout her Lena throughout her home Looks like I'm livin' with Lena Livin' with Lena Horne Little shrines of Lena throughout her Lena throughout her home In no way jealous In no way upset As long as she don't mind My shrine To Alanis Morrisette Looks like I'm livin' with Lena Livin' with Lena Horne

Woonsocket Motor Inn 03:19

Along the Blackstone River Up Route 126 Next door to the Toyo Where folks eat steaks with sticks There's a little place below a dark Persistent cloudy sky Thank God there's a U-Save Conveniently nearby The Woonsocket Motor Inn That's where I'm checking in At the Woonsocket Motor Inn Where my new life begins "Kind sir, could you point me in the proper direction of the pool?" "No, sir, there's no F- - - - - - pool, you fool" No bellhop, no vallet No sunshine, so I stay at The Woonsocket Motor Inn That's where I'm checking in At the Woonsocket Motor Inn Where my new life begins Last night the cops came to raid the room next door Slept through, thanks to the AC's low relentless roar Worn bedsheets, old ashtray Torn curtains, cold and grey at The Woonsocket Motor Inn That's where I'm checking in At the Woonsocket Motor Inn Where my new life begins Tell me lord, what did I do In life to lead me to this place? Tell me lord, why the marks That overnight appear upon my face No bellhop, no vallet No sunshine, so I stay at The Woonsocket Motor Inn That's where I'm checking in At the Woonsocket Motor Inn Where my new life begins
