KING OF THE DOCTORS I got that bread and butter No one can catch me I'm the doctor, king of the doctors Rest your head upon my knee Flowers are growing

Thump Thump 02:10
THUMP THUMP It's not raining anymore I found my lucky chapstick I've been rushing out the door Without even a jacket Thump, thump in my chest A heart this sweet should wear a dress Archetypal angel wings The symbol of protagonist Let's meet up after work Let's meet up after work Now I think you broke my mind It's summer summer summer time Close enough to touch your toes Getting warmer with each try Grab your father's sleeping bag Let's make a bed outside Tonight is when the elements Are making colors out of light

THUNDER PILLOW Wake up, wake up, you belong to the night A hundred years old, it takes that long for light to die In your eyes, in your head a stairway to your bed Feather pillow, the softest way to kill your friends I need my thunder shirt I'm a dog with such a tiny heart It's beating so quickly My body is a conduit Tiny dog with a giant heart Thunder pillow Find me in the dark Wake up, wake up, you belong to the night Thunder pillow, swear it doesn't hurt Wake up, wake up, you belong to the night Thunder pillow, swear it doesn't hurt Wake up

Estate Sale 02:11
ESTATE SALE She bought the house Let's take her out Now you're not a renter But in the end, you lose it again Estate sale in the winter What did I dream? You were being mean to me It's been a serious addiction I know you do, want me to do Everything I want to Talk to me now I hear the sound of you in rebellion Was it a dream? You were coming back to me It was a fantastic vision

Comedy Show 02:13
COMEDY SHOW He lost his little dog at the comedy show Wake up, wake up it only feels late When you're early to rise and the first to know Hip thrust, foot rub Getting comfortable living under the shrub You seem drunk but you're not Put on your big hat and laugh at the leash without the dog It seems late, I calculate the data in my head Rabbit, rabbit first of the new month First of the new moon, first off Pour over, coffee grinds Hot water, smell reminds Messy house with a dogwood outside My window in the summer time Jump over, data cloud Roll over, no leash allowed Jump over, bringing in the new moon Laughing at the old dog
6.
Freon 02:42
FREON Honey, honey, it's been so long I'm afraid outside of our neighborhood Nerves for hair, crackling as the air conditioner blows It blows Freon, freon, in the garage There's a leak somewhere in the neighborhood I wish we were there blowing all the insulation in There's no darkness at night but there's sound All the hospital lights hum a tone Lay out flat on your back, focus hard on the stars and they're found Honey, honey, you mow the lawn as I eat the clover clippings The serviceberry tree is dropping all its leaves but flowering – uh-oh! ld me for a moment This is you and me before the baby Rainy, rainy days underground All the basement walls are weeping Pack up all the gear! The wedding wreath is here and mouldering Uh-oh!
7.
MOTHER’S TONGUE Are you afraid of the dark? But where do you think you came from? Touch fire with a glove Wrap your hand in tape and say It was worth the right to be with love It was worth the right to be with love Lick poison from a cup You will say the strangest things When you've had it straight from mother's tongue When you've had it straight from mother's tongue Lick it up, little pup Then you scream, til it's clean In the dark...
