Good morning, up and at 'em
Though the sky, it might be gray
The sun's still shining anyway
It's saying up and at 'em, let's start this day
So put on your boots and suit
Have a cup of coffee, some bacon and eggs
Up and at 'em, let's start this day now yeah
Oh yeah...
Good morning, up and at 'em
I know that you can rally
Good morning, up and at 'em
Let the start be as good as the finale
So put on your boots and suit
Have a cup of coffee, some bacon and eggs
Up and at 'em, let's start this day now yeah
Oh yeah...
Up and at 'em, up and at 'em

Dunce Witch Snowman
03:28
|
|||
|
He cast his spell on the liars and fools
The greediest pigs got in line and began to drool
A dance with chance left us right in the hands
of a sight no one should behold
It was the Dunce Witch Snowman
It was the Dunce Witch Snowman
It was the Dunce Witch Snowman
Yeah, the Dunce Witch Snowman
Surrounded by gold, but he's followed by swarms of flies
Sometimes I just laugh 'cause there's no more tears I can cry
It gets me down so low it's like the scariest high
When I look right into the eyes
Of the Dunce Witch Snowman
Oh, of the Dunce Witch Snowman
Of the Dunce Witch Snowman
Yeah, the Dunce Witch Snowman
I see them hiding in the shadows at the edge of the light
They're coming for more of us, turning the days into night
But where the shadows live there's just an absence of light
We can blot 'em out if we burn bright
Blot out the Dunce Witch Snowmen
Blot out the Dunce Witch Snowmen
Blot out the Dunce Witch Snowmen
The Dunce Witch Snowmen

On The Periphery
01:31
|
|||
|
I never know what I should say
to folks I meet
I just slip out of sight
and make a quiet retreat
You won't see me in the crowd
On the periphery is where I can be found
I see you've read my file
Not everything is true
I like to be
on the periphery, I do
You won't see me in the crowd
On the periphery is where I can be found

Quarantine Blues
03:01
|
|||
|
Stuck inside this quarantine, waiting on some news
Staring out my window, got those quarantine blues
My dog's growling at the window 'cause he's nervous just like me
The only thing that's certain is this uncertainty
Oh, those quarantine blues
Oh...
It's getting bigger and no one knows who's coming out unscathed
The shadows from my windows are growing longer like the days
Oh, those quarantine blues
Oh...
Pushing and pulling ourselves along, both the tugboat and the barge
Together in isolation, as this quarantine looms large
Oh, those quarantine blues
Oh...
I'm waiting, I'm waiting
I'm waiting, 'til I see you on the other side
I know that I'm gonna see you, I'm gonna see you there
On the other side of these quarantine blues

Have You Seen Emma?
03:36
|

|
Have you seen Emma?
Have you seen her?
I checked the sunspot, the window, and the mirror
But nobody in the mirror dimension said that they'd seen her
I checked the river and the forest with the giant cedar
Just gotta find her because I really need her
She warned us 'bout the Dunce Witch Snowman
He gave her such a fright
We're fighting him without you, but we're in trouble
We're in trouble
I checked Fort Rhododendron and under the table
My memory's fading, it seems just like a fable
I hope she's listening from the balcony if she's able
The podium is open, but I'm worried it's not stable
Trepidation is rising, but not like in a thriller
We're in trouble and we miss her, so have you seen Emma?
Have you seen Emma?
Have you seen her?
Have you seen her?
Have you seen her?
I'm probably just dreaming
But I thought that they kinged me, 'cause I made it to the other side
Saying have you seen Emma?
Have you seen Emma?
Have you seen her?

Up And At 'Em (part 2)
02:08
|
|||
|
Good morning, up and at 'em
Though the sun still shines away
I can't stop seeing all the colors in gray
I've got to get up and start this day
So I've put on my boots and suit
Trying to drink some coffee and eat my eggs
Gotta get going and move my legs
Oh yeah...
Good morning up and at 'em
I guess it's time to rally
The start keeps blending with the end of the day
I guess it's like this 'til the finale
I'm stuck in these boots and suit
Tired of drinking coffee, better set it aside
Gotta keep moving, but I don't know why
Oh yeah...
Up and at 'em, up and at 'em

Shelter Skelter
03:31
|
|||
|
My sanctuary seems okay
The three of us together, just like castaways
It's a shelter skelter, everyday
But we're making our way
Shelves are getting bare today
It makes me worry, it makes my thoughts all go astray
Spending my money, with none coming in
Is this how it begins?
So take care of yourselves today
'Cause we just can't get away from this Shelter Skelter
It's a Shelter Skelter
Posh boys in their mansions got no shame
They’ve got cops and money, don't care if you're safe
You better be ready, they're comin' for you
But they're afraid of the truth
So take care of yourselves today
'Cause we just can't get away from this Shelter Skelter
It's a Shelter Skelter
Goon squads took the streets today
Those polliwogs will turn to poison frogs
Emotional dexterity just left them behind
They don't know when to be angry, they don't know when to be kind
So take care of yourselves today
'Cause we just can't get away from this Shelter Skelter
It's a Shelter Skelter
Yeah, take care of yourselves today
'Cause we just can't get away from this Shelter Skelter
It's a Shelter Skelter

On Holiday
03:46
|

|
I dream all day
It's my holiday, hey, hey
On my holiday, you come along to stay
Wish it could be only this way
My holiday, I dream it all day
On holiday, I'll stay
As I dream all day, I'm wasting away
Want my holiday, want my holiday
If energy released is just potential made true
I'm waiting for potential to release me to you
I can't find the energy to make my way through
I was dreaming all day, and I missed my cue
(Dream!) I dream all day, (Dream!) I dream all day
(Dream!) I dream all day, (Dream!) I dream all day
If maybe indecision is a kind of a drug
I'm way past my dose I don't want it no more
Is it hesitation, or jumping the gun?
I can't pull the trigger, but I've pulled the plug
I dream all day
It's my holiday, hey, hey

Butterflies And Bees
04:20
|

|
She saved all the butterflies, she saved all the bees
She drank from the waterfall and ate from the field
Chasing all their enemies away
Chasing all their enemies away
Hey, hey... hey
She ran through the buttercups, she ran through the trees
She bathed in the lily pond and slept in the leaves
Saving all her energies for dawn
Saving all her energies for dawn
So come on...
She starts her day in the morning time, just before the dawn
She does it for fun, she does it for free
She does it for love, so can't you see?
She saved all the butterflies, she saved all the bees
She drank from the waterfall and ate from the field

See You Later
02:40
|

|
Well, the time has come to surrender my chair
It's getting so close, I can feel it in the air
I'm moving on (he's movin' on), so long
(yeah) I might even miss you more than you miss me
I'm movin' on
See you later, I'm movin' on
See you later, I'm movin' on, so long
I'd be remiss if I didn't say this
You know you'll all be missed, so I'm blowing you a kiss
I'm movin' on (he's movin' on), so long
(yeah) I might even miss you more than you miss me
I'm movin' on
See you later, I'm movin' on
See you later, I'm movin' on, so long
I've got my hat and coat, and the drawbridge is over the moat
I’m movin’ on
See you later, I'm movin' on
See you later, I'm movin' on, so long
So long, sad song, I've gone now
See you later!
