Ripe for the pluckin', she was standin' there,
Had her knees grown up to her hair,
I leaned in close to give her a kiss,
closed my eyes and then I missed
And that girl never knew what was comin' next
flowers in her hands and a tangerine dress
jewels round her neck and fruit at her feet
whole stack of love letters, soppin' the sweet
I cried out, "Baby, what more do you want?"
she said, "Now all we need is a place to haunt."
grabbed my hand and tore me away
love her still to this very day
We got older and it got colder, all that fruit got a little bit molder and when I got just a little bit bolder, that's when I flat out told her
"Never again, and always still,
y'see what I mean is I want ya in my will"
That tangerine girl with the knee long tresses
the fruit at her feet, always causing messes,
"Never again? Well, yes, I guesses."
Birds flew by and started to land, I took her palm into my hand, "Oh my love, seems you understand."
We got younger and it got silly, runnin' around all willy-nilly, and on the nights that were a bit chilly
We'd drink hot chocolate just to stay warm, collapse in the bed and in each other's arms
Opening the Can O' Beans
"It's like writing in a syringe"

Avimancy
House the Sparrows,
Scrub the Jays,
Heed ye what the wise birds say,
Three chirps yes,
Two caws nay,
Answer truthly on this day

when i get low i get high
Seconds streaming, clocks a teaming, full of life and sometimes beaming, filling up with grains of sand, I'm a giant, hold my hand, never given simple clothes, we want something, some of those, gabble gook and strangley kook, jumping cables, striped green gables, horses burning in their stables, tainted paths, and simple maths, quiet quicken, slip and slicken, who exactly are you lickin', round the neck and through the hart, pierce and peck, stop and start, octopod, he's got a tooth, not quite odd, he sips vermouth.
They've made it in, through my left eye, they've come to swim, to live and die, they're words, they're words, they're rhymes, and alliteration, they've taken up their battle stations, they've pounded in and they'll pound out, these fuckers will win, have no god damn doubt.

Garmin60
I have a new friend named Garmin, - GarminGarmin is pretty charmin' - charmin
He is yellow and black
and he fits right in my pack
Garmin he tells me where I am
Garmin he's my GPS man - GPS man!
Garmin can see by satellites,
even in the middle of the night,
Garmin knows exactly where he is,
saving a file for the gizz - I MEAN GIS!
Garmin stands for something I'm sure,
but I don't know what it's for,
all I know is he can make me maps
Garmin, he does it in a snap
If you don't know where to go,
Garmin he can tell you, "Oh,
just take a right in three more miles,
and you'll arrive with a smile."
Garmin tracks where I've been,
catalogues the sights I've seen,
saving up the lats and the longs,
O Garmin, I hope you like this song!

You have a dinosaur tattoo.
That's something I like about you.
