Hours go by
There’s no one in sight
My arms scrape the sky
In the dwindling light
The breath in my lungs
Keeps rushing away
It’s right on my tongue
The words I can’t say
Wish I knew
Does fate have a plan for me?
Flailing around on the side of the road
Does God have a flan for me?
Hungry for something that I’ve never known
Just down the street
A man twirls a sign
The vision’s so fleeting
Like what once was mine
Across the four lanes
We wiggled as one
As much as it pains me
I know that it’s done
Wish I knew
Does fate have a plan for me?
Flailing around on the side of the road
Does God have a flan for me?
Hungry for something that I’ve never known

Iridescent All Over

You know it’s hard to look at you
The way you’re shining
Cause your hair and your smile and your eyes
Are sparkling, babe
Going blind every time
You look my way
See you like starlings do
Iridescent all over babe
You’re my Christmas gift this year
So deck the halls and spread the cheer
And you know, I lose my cool, and my heart begins to race
When I see you comb that snow-white beard
When you’re done with all the gifts
Deliver me a Christmas kiss
I’ve been so nice, but don’t think twice, I think you’ll find after tonight
I belong right on your naughty list
Sleighbells ring, are you listenin’?
Cause you certainly are glistenin'
Tell the elves to go on home
Cause tonight you’re mine alone
You know it’s hard to look at you
The way you’re shining
Cause your hair and your smile and your eyes
Are sparkling, babe
Going blind every time
You look my way
See you like starlings do
Iridescent all over babe
Iridescent all over
Don’t you think that suit’s a little tight?
Why not slip out of that red and white?
Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, take the night off, cause I’m fixin’
To be Santa’s only ride tonight
And it helps to know that you’re not broke
Because you just signed a deal with Coke
Buy me rings and jewels from Cartier, you'll be my Sugar Claus
And I’ll make sure that your fire’s stoked
Gotta tell you, Mr. Kringle
I’m longing to make your bells jingle
And if I play this hand just right
This won’t be a silent night
You know it’s hard to look at you
The way you’re shining
Cause your hair and your smile and your eyes
Are sparkling, babe
Going blind every time
You look my way
See you like starlings do
Iridescent all over babe
Iridescent all over

I’m CCing my boss on every email that I send
I put a kiss emoji in the sign off at the end
They can be about my work or just playing pretend
I don’t mean to be mean but I do mean to condescend
Just can’t wait to crack open a hot one with the boys
Throwing back a lava lamp is one of life’s great joys
I really hate that people only think of them as toys
Feel the glow, tetrachlo', then we make a lot of noise.
I told you, that I was not a slug, but I lied
I told you, that I was not a slug, but I lied
I told you, that I was not a slug, but I lied
Even things that look like boogers are complex inside
I didn’t do the homework but I had a special plan
I told my teacher that I spent all morning on the can
The best thing you can do if you don’t want to go to school
Is make up an excuse about a problematic stool
I’m gonna do the things I want in 2021
I’ll watch Fern Gully thirty times on TNT reruns
Leave 2020 in the dust and have a lot of fun
I’ll finally become cool in the eyes of my stepson
I told you, that I was not a slug, but I lied
I told you, that I was not a slug, but I lied
I told you, that I was not a slug, but I lied
Even things that look like boogers are complex inside

The Ballad of Rowdy Rita
02:43

Rowdy Rita, Rowdy Rita’s late again
Her time is almost gone
Minutes fly by, clouds roll on, I see the end
Of a day kept from the sun
Rowdy Rita, Rowdy Rita’s on the trail
She’s famed as the rambling queen
In the classroom, someone asks, to no avail
“Can we leave if it hits two fifteen?”
Rita's rambling on
Eating her shrimp cocktails out in the sun
Tried to reach her, but if teacher doesn’t show
It is safe to say our day is done
Like the north wind, Rita storms in, books in hand
She’s got a lesson in mind
We see our shot, “Say, teach, a thought: We don’t understand
How’d you end up so behind?”
Rowdy Rita, Rowdy Rita, can’t resist
Spinning a wondrous thread
Bus cuisine, the sights she’s seen, we get the gist
But she’s rambling full steam ahead
Rita's rambling on
The hands of the clock show the day is near gone
Then the bell rings, packing our things, we give thanks
For ol’ Rita, the best substitute
Ol’ Rita, the best substitute

Mr. 1981
A hero so tall, he could block out the sun
His lats spread wide like wings, so watch him fly
He’s a daddy to all, but a father to one
Strives to be great in the eyes of his son
But Monolith Man won’t stop, cause he’s a bad guy
Just watch him try
Just watch him try!
It’s time for Mr. 1981
To face off against foes of every size
There will be a great fight before we’re done
But will he win? That’s a surprise!
From the rings of the circus, he arose
Boasting physical strength and also brains
How to be a great dad is what he knows
But the rest of his story still remains
1981

This clash of titans determines the fate
Of the world as we know it, as nineteen-eight-
-y-two approaches, now the year’s going by
Both dad-ing and fighting, there’s a lot on his plate
Then Mom appears to help carry the weight
When they’re together, nothing can go awry
Just watch ‘em try
Just watch ‘em try!
Mr. and Mrs. 1981
They face off against foes of every size
There will be a great fight before we’re done
But will they win? That’s a surprise!
From the rings of the circus, they arose
Boasting physical strength and also brains
Parenting skills are what they know
But the rest of their story still remains
