King of Something [Verse 1] Oh Mr. Lear, Why do you fear? You’ve nothing to divide Nobody wants your Babel rock Or anything you hold inside The lady of the water on her island far away Her sirens and her polka dots hold you under their sway [Chorus] Like an ancient lord of Avalon In a castle in the sky On your ziggurat of moss and rock In a lake of tears and wine When you get home, you’ll lay in bed And feel like almost nothing But at least you’re king of something [Verse 2] Holy man Rex, I’m so perplexed Your folly has made Lear so vexed Your broken tower of steel and stone Is somehow taller than his own But like arrows made of cardboard, you will never pierce the clouds And in the end it turns to dust, so why are you so proud? [Chorus] Like an ancient lord of Avalon In a castle in the sky On your ziggurat of moss and rock In a lake of tears and wine When you get home, you’ll lay in bed And feel like almost nothing But at least you’re king of something [Bridge] Four kings sit ‘round a table with their fingers in the air They count off all their trespasses but no one present cares The poison in their cups awaits a chance to drown the guilt And when Lear’s chance is finally come, he’s sure no drop is spilt It takes him away, like a sweet memory Of green time long ago before his hope’s defeat [Verse 3] So in the end, my dearest friend I think it’s useless to pretend It seems we all must give a part To a suicidal King of Hearts [Chorus] Like an ancient lord of Avalon In a castle in the sky On your ziggurat of moss and rock In a lake of tears and wine When you get home, you’ll lay in bed And feel like almost nothing But at least you’re king of something At least you’re king of something

Pocket Song 03:31
Pocket Song [Verse 1] I’d always pride myself on being pretty level headed The thought that I would lose myself for you, well just forget it I always somehow thought that I had everything together And then you came along and took it all away forever I met you in the land where the mugwumps roam I never thought that I’d want to take you home But now I have you and never want to be alone [Chorus] It’s like I’ve lost all sense of rational thought I’ve got to lose these feeling before I get caught It’s like I’m falling apart and I don’t know what I should do Why am I in love with you? [Verse 2] It seems so elementary Just, I like you, do you like me? But now I’m picking up the pieces of my shattered psyche It’s bianary, yes-no, no inbetweens Whoever thought that indecision could seem so mean? I know you probably didn’t mean to go and take my heart So can I have it back please, before this thing goes too far It’s kinda fragile and I think it’s already breaking apart [Chorus] It’s like I’ve lost all sense of rational thought I’ve got to lose these feeling before I get caught It’s like I’m falling apart and I don’t know what I should do Why am I in love with you? [Bridge] My predilection towards introspection And self dissection has spread the infection To my soul Self destruction seems to be the goal I got to bleed out the thoughts with a deadly diuretic Now I lie on the ground and I know it seems pathetic But I can only escape when I’ve lost all my control You know it wakes me in the morning And it keeps me up at night And I just can’t help but wonder If maybe Mr. Burroughs was right [Chorus] It’s like I’ve lost all sense of rational thought I’ve got to lose these feeling before I get caught It’s like I’m falling apart and I don’t know what I should do Why am I in love with you? [Ending Chorus] It’s like I’ve lost all sense of rational thought I’ve got to lose these feeling before I get caught It’s like I’m falling apart and I don’t know what I should do Why am I Why am I Why am I in love with you?

Love Song 04:36
Love Song [Verse 1] I bought some flowers at that place downtown Where they tend to sell that stuff I think they were roses, I think you’re allergic And so, I threw them away I walked sadly down the street, when I heard this guitar play Then I wrote you this song, ‘cause it’s all I have ‘Cause I threw the roses away [Chorus] Love song Love song It’s a song about love Love songs Love songs I feel like there’s not enough …Love songs [Verse 2] I made another verse but I forgot to write it down So I went and took the bus to the bad part of town I met a guy who heard my song Then he threw up on my shoes It made me sad, it was kind of gross But it made me think of you And my… [Chorus] Love song Love song It’s a song about love Love song Love song I feel like there’s not enough [Bridge] The stars in the sky Something about a river A brand new shiny car On a dusty country road I hit a raccoon and it gets stuck inside my wheel well You’re a raccoon in a wheel well A dead raccoon in the wheel well of my heart [Chorus] Love song Love song It’s a song about love Love song Love song I feel like there’s not enough [End Chorus] Love song Love song It’s a song about love Love songs Love songs There can never be enough …Love songs

Fire on the Fence [Verse 1] People always look to you It seems they always seem to say It’s black or white, it’s all or none You can’t just live your life within the grey Ridin’ on the fence You deny the wants they place on you But at what expense? [Chorus a] So you want to prove that you’re the best We're gonna have to put you to the test Red and White by morning light You can’t escape, you must decide You’d better wear a rose on your chest [Verse 2] Your audition left an imprint on their hearts Their Glasgow smiles turned up to you As they asked when you think you’d like to start You could be number one But you’ll have to decide Before the night is done [Chorus b] So you want to prove that you’re the best The world’s gonna put you through a test Red and White by morning light You can’t escape, you must decide You’d better wear a rose on your chest [Bridge] So you somehow think you might escape I’m sad to say, That time is gone You’re runnin’ much too late There’s a deadline that is bearing down Now swear allegiance to a crown It’s time for you to make a stand And grasp the hand of fate
