Head on table Is love a fable? Get out of my life That’s not very nice Whatever shall we do? Save me a slice No, please don’t ask twice Can’t help being stuck A rut; who will make the cut?

Now if there was no buzz In the end, there would be nothing My friends are cosmonauts Covered in the millhouse Now if there was no time To waste on TV MSR-16 on the floor today My friends are cosmonauts

The Sea 01:47
The sea I don’t think it was made for me I’d rather feel the things I see Like hills and knolls that surround me Wasting your life on a belief Of a dream It isn’t real how could you not see? They lied; I know it seems silly Working so hard, endlessly Just give it up with the sea

Green and growing, time for picking Look ‘round the stem, see it’s tender Aromatic – sweet, not sour Check for luster, wax or shine bright Organic carbon copies are Everything that exist- endless cycle I exist as a plant, fruit, vegetable, legume Someone please pick me Oh, I’m a vegetable! Ripe and forgotten I’ll turn to mush That’s what you want

Slowy Fuzzy 04:16
All the lyrics were improvisational and done in one take. Sure, I could listen back and type them out here, but what's the fun in that? Any performance of this song will probably be different lyrically than it is here anyway.

The Robin 04:24
There lie scraps of a tussle with the robin Many feathers linger on my yard And the forsythia still grows, still grows, still grows, still grows Balmy 60’s in a sea of green is where I want to be Dexter wants a taste of the wild side Under the sun I strum, but not for long Dexter runs to the sun! Here I come! As I leave, I see remains of the robin.
