Cumpleaños

This was "written" for my friend Woody's birthday. He enjoyed it, as, I hope, will you.

Every Time

This song, and the associated explanation, can be found here. I strongly, strongly advise that you turn down the volume... slightly.

Hey Liz!

Hey Liz,
What'cha doing there, looks like you're having fun
I don't know if I'm coming or going, man, I'm on the run

Do you mind if I stay a while,
At least until this thing blows over?
I could bring some friends of mine
we'd all think about starting over
as geisha!

See Liz,
I knew that you were going to Japan
I thought why not
Maybe you could give us all a helping hand

I heard that there's schools for it
they help dress you up nice and pretty
Going down into the streets, ya know
The pay is good, when you're working in the city
(in a strictly non-sexual capacity)

Oh Liz,
I hope you know how great it's gonna be
Living in a one-room tatami apartment house with me

We could go out every night,
just make sure the guys are ready
We would pick up a date or two,
and make them pay for spaghetti
and meatballs!

Say Liz,
I guess I'm kinda moving things too fast
I suppose with your mom it'd be kind of hard to slide that past

Maybe I'll just stay at home
And imagine how you'll be
If I can't go there myself,
Say hi to the people of Tottori prefecture for me

Yeah 

Oh, and you're short!

Kelcipher

This song was composed as the result of an April Fool's joke that was blown up far out of proportion. To cut a long story short... this is a song about the imaginary lovechild I had with a friend. Named, appropriately enough, Kelcipher.

Who is this I see,
upon the horizon;
could it be she,
whose lips carry a poison

The tangled hair
The eyes of almond
The skin so fair
The heart of diamond

Kelcipher, oh Kelcipher,
How very lost you appear,
and though your heart is ice,
still you entice,
as you shed that lonely tear

They shunned you then,
all cold and frozen,
it should not have been,
the life you had not chosen

The product of
a love forbidden
they prayed to the stars above
they could accept what they'd been given

Kelcipher, oh Kelcipher,
How very lost you appear,
and though your heart is ice,
still you entice,
as you shed that lonely tear

Lauren-taichou

Plank

Plank
Oh so beautiful
All stiff and wooden
But you're the loveliest board
Got so many uses
Smoothest grain from end to end
Please be my friend

Plank, I love you
Plank, please make my life complete

We'd be so great together
Eating ice cream on the stoop
I would eat my cone with laughter
Yours would slide down scoop by scoop

Plank, I love you
Plank, please make my life complete

Plank,
Even if you're not too talk-y
Living without you, it'd be like
Living without Chalky

Plank, I love you
Plank, please make my life complete

Oh, plank...
