You’ve got a nice face
You know the ratboy
He told me all about you
You know the ratboy too
This ain’t such a bad place
Squirrellin’ in the squirelly ocean
He told me all about you
You know the ratboy too
All i have is memories and all you’ve got to do is raise a glass and keep the time
Baby i’m too young to die. Maybe i’m too old for this?
You got a nice face don’t you
You’ll waddle anytime anywhere anyway
Won’t you try to control the supply?
Another curse to waddle through
A brand new set of ears and eyes for you
One thing to know about me, one thing that’s always true:
Don’t wanna know about you

I refuse to say goodbye
And you? You don’t have to breathe
Despite the age you’re still the same
Your face, your withered lips remain
I refuse to say goodbye
The faceless never saw, but i saw it
Find your family
Throw one back and watch the world burn
Cause Saturdays are still gone, far as i can see
Don’t get crazy now, lay back and watch the tide turn
Despite the age you’re still the same to me
I’m just watching the world burn

Unquestionable Advice

Refrigerate your food, drink a little water, don’t die on me.
Be careful who you screw or you’re a heifer for the slaughter. Stay warm.
The boy in the bubble never sees the switch
Avoids all the typical pubescent trouble
But where he eats, he shits
All boys need to eat and breathe and shit sometimes
In through the nose, out through the mouth, stay warm, don’t die

Mildly nihilistic, positively green
Probly go to church and tell the white witch doctor what i seen
Broken people, hear my call.
I’m old as hell and i know all: you’re gonna die and so am i
Wiring is fraying now, a nightmare every dream

I can’t say the words right, continuous mudslide
The bathwater baby goes out the door and we’re not changing anything
Come watch the halfwit sing
Ensure they get your better side
It’s easy man, but you gotta spend real time on evil shit like that
Hardly gave ourselves a chance…
Say cheese to grandma!
“I’ll take two tickets to the fat boy dance"

Let’s just say I could say i know things turn out this way
Ossuary afterparty, forty bucks on father’s day
Let’s just say I could say I go ham on xmas day
Less so, though, on easter sunday

Only the Best for Us

I don’t wanna be a mashed potato anymore
I don’t wanna join the team
You and me watching the sunrise, let the little lady go
Watching the morons form a line to polish their knobs until they shine
More we regress the more we whine
Only the best for us this time
Only the best for us this time
All of the rest should rot, that’s fine
More of the less, a lack of spine
Look what a mess we’ve made this time
Only the best for us this time
Watching the morons run our lines
Pay me a dollar, get in line
Swaddled in comfort, scum and slime
Only the best for us this time

Dog Angry

Dad? They broke me and i don’t wanna play the favorite anymore
Mad. Dog angry. Here comes the other shoe.
Dad, I’m hungry. Don’t kick me out
Reprogrammed. Ornery. Roll on.
Vomit in the barley ocean, piss in river red with wine
Drink freely of this magic potion
Making friends with dread divine
Stay home, Michael. Don’t go out today.
Stay inside. Don’t go anywhere.

Make sure my head and face conspire.
Ko ko ko kio, lucky for me though!
The mess inside my head: uncomfortable feeling
It bears repeating: uncomfortable feeling
The things i’ve done or said, the meaning is fleeting
Judging by the response i’ve had, the junkyard approach is misleading
Hedon, heathen, an excellent mix of stoics and pricks
But it makes the same difference: out with the old and in with the fix
All meaningless. Most of your kids have seen porno by six.

It’s a pretty blurry line between awesome and bastard
i’ve got a feeling you think i’m complaining, you obvious bastard
I know you can touch the moon, but could you stand on a star?
I don’t know if it’s possible. Is a star hard? Is it really hot?

Get’on up to a single line
su la slide
planté d’boute right’on them borders
yes, we’re standing there
peu fier c’est la human kind
like poussière in a corner
rain or shine
Fred Astaire robots everywhere all the time
c’est la guerre, this is war, c’est la guerre
vas-tu ben falloir
parce-qu’y-va falloir
what can we be
Do we all know there’s nothing there
punch in punch out
I don’t know
I don’t know
I only work here
passe moé l’tape
faut prendre les mesures
see if the branch is straight
building all kinds of structures
rize’em up rize’em up
get’on up
le pif dinz’air
in this small world of large creatures
we’re all dinosaurs of the future
so don’t brake bones
just come on home
you’re not alone
and there’s nothing special about you
coming around
and around…….
pas d’brake à bras pour la planète
what goes up and down
up and down……
Yeah there’s a future, you wanna bet

Ape School Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
I make music. Some gets released on big labels. Some never gets released. This is my solo stuff. The first LP came out on Ninja Tune in 2009. The second retired itself and shan't exist. The third, "Junior Violence", Came out on Hometapes in 2012. I am getting older and angrier, & my audio regurgitation disease shows no signs of improvement. Tis an addiction. Hope you enjoy the noises that result. ... more
