Flakes Of Your Love

I was hooked right away
When I saw you, baby, on the shore
You caught my eye, and you reeled me in
Oh I knew that I wanted more
Your eyes shone like sunken treasure
And I knew that this would last forever
We hopped in your Mustang
Cruisin’ down the sunlit avenue
And when we got back to your place
Oh I knew what we were gonna do
You lay me down in a brand new fish bowl
Add some rocks and a castle, now we’re ready to roll!
Feed me like a fish
Give me the flakes of your love (flakes of your love)
Feed me like a fish
Give me the flakes of your love
Some would say we were starfish-crossed lovers
But I could take it on the chin
I’d go belly up without you, babe
So take my fin and we’ll dive on in
Now I’ve got you under my scales
I’m only a guppy but I feel like a whale
Feed me like a fish
Give me the flakes of your love (flakes of your love)
Feed me like a fish
Give me the flakes of your love
Feels like you flushed me down the toilet (toilet)
There’s something keeping us apart (it’s glass, it’s glass)
But I can feel you reachin’ out to me
Let’s change the filter and get a fresh start
(Maybe change the water) get a fresh start
Feed me like a fish
Give me the flakes of your love (flakes of your love)
Feed me like a fish
Give me the flakes of your love
Feed me like a fish
Give me the flakes of your love
Feed me like a fish
Give me the flakes of your love
Give me the flakes, give me the flakes of your love
(Make it flaky)

Today my best friend went away
We were like brothers, you could say
We’d roll on the floor, he’d lick my face
No one will ever take your place
My dog ran away, and I am, too
It’s the only thing left to do
Since you fled I’ve been so blue
So I’m coming after you
I miss your fuzzy head, that mask upon your face
Your foamy little mouth, you can never be replaced
But one night you snuck from my room
How mom screamed and shooed you off with a broom
My dog ran away, and I am, too
It’s the only thing left to do
Since you fled I’ve been so blue
So I’m coming after you
I looked for you in the backyard, I looked in the trash
Hung up lost dog flyers, with a reward of cash
These nights are so lonely, no one by my side
If I never see you again, well I’d rather die
After three days I found you at night
I reached out my hand and you took a bite
It hurt so bad, I started to bawl
Maybe your not a dog after
It turns out my dog was a racoon
Now I don’t know what to do
Since I got rabies I’ve been so blue
And I’m staying away from you
Yeah I’m staying away from you

My Wife’s Boyfriend

I, I’m giving up, again on you
Oh, I can’t pretend these feelings aren’t true
The sky has turned to gray from blue
He doesn’t love you like I do; he loves you more
You gave me a chance to change my ways
And now I stay
In the guest bedroom next to
My Wife’s Boyfriend
My Wife’s Boyfriend
He sleeps in her room every night
I’m next door, waiting for the light
I go to the fridge, steal a fancy beer,
That he bought with the money from his job
A dumb IPA called “I Pine for the Fjords”
He gives her the gifts that I can’t afford
I’m kind of broke, but I live for my art:
A brand new mixtape I’m producing myself
I’m late on rent, she asks me to leave
I just turn up my beats
No I won’t live in peace with
My Wife’s Boyfriend
My Wife’s Boyfriend
(My Wife’s Boyfriend)
(My Wife’s Boyfriend)
I'm falling apart, I scream and I shout
But it's too late, my wife kicked me out
I lower my head, I'm lost in defeat
Then I remember my Mom lives across the street
I take to the basement that floods in the rain
My dad's in the attic with his model trains
I flop on the couch, think I'm I'm finally free
Guess who's already watching TV?
My Mom's Boyfriend
My Mom's Boyfriend
(My Mom's Boyfriend)
(My Mom's Boyfriend)
(My Mom’s Boyfriend, etc)

(Hey do you want to hear a joke?) (Okay)
Priest and a Rabbi in a bar
Horse walks in and the bartender said… uh, you… uh…
Shit
I forgot the punchline
I forgot the punchline
What do you call it when you’re on a plane
And you want a drink and the flight attendant walks by, and… you…
(What do you call it?)
Fuck
I forgot the punchline
I forgot the punchline
I forgot the punchline
I forgot the punchline
I’m supposed to be the funny one
Cracking jokes with my friends
Guess my comedy career is done
I’ll just share my memes instead
I forgot the punchline
I forgot the punchline
I forgot the punchline
I forgot the punchline

I - Intro
Everyone loves a journey
With treasures to claim and wild beasts to tame
Searching for truth and for glory
A meaning, a feeling, a sword made of flame
A hero will rise, and to your surprise
The chosen one is you
II - Adventure Begins
I cut down my foes, great fortune amassed
Amorous conquest, but the joy doesn’t last
I’ve dined with kings, philosophers, too
Consulted the oracles, I don’t know what to do
Searching without, fighting within
Where the road ends adventure begins
Searching without, fighting within
Where the road ends adventure begins
At last, I’ve found it!
III - Confrontation
Silly human, why do you struggle?
You cannot defeat what you cannot comprehend
I will rend your matter across all dimensions
IV - Into The Hypercube
Riding on wavelengths of time, space condensed into a line
Gentle nuclear forces power the sublime
Polynomial colors all around, taste the light and see the sound
Floating aimlessly, at one with sky and ground
Freezing warm and burning cold, dying young and living old
Energy and matter beginning to unfold
V - Prime Numbers
Primality
Combinatorics
Probability
Computation
Transcendental
Scrum
Excommunication
Super gravity
Ultraviolet
Dodecahedron
Thermodynamics
Quantum reciprocity
Transubstantiation
VI - Denouemént
Everyone loves a journey
The answers and questions were one in the same
Spacetime restored and disrupted
Entropically balanced, a sword made of flame
Another will rise, to no one’s surprise
The cycle begins anew
