Doctors and snakes and fruit like grapes
Sit back relax and drink your Palm Frond Potion
An astronaut lost in deep outer space
And the man who hesitates
To put on sun tan lotion
A gunslinging hero who’s turned to solid gold
And the one they call Swampy
Swampy Mr. Jones
And the Doctor who’s everywhere just like a deity
Pour some wine
Have a time and enjoy our company with
Doctors and snakes and fruit like grapes
Sit back relax and drink your Palm Frond Potion
Let us know if there’s anything
That you find appealing
Pull up a chair
Let’s discuss our thoughts and feelings
Tammy’s in the kitchen
She’s lost in her mind
Wait let me refresh
Your wine
Richard’s in the corner
He’s doing so well
You can start to feel it now
Here’s a place just to lie down
All your friends are around
The doctor will see you now

The Hesitant Man

The Hesitant Man
He’ll always look twice
That’s what makes him so good
That’s what makes him so nice
The Hesitant Man
Just won’t take his own advice
He’ll say “live like you love”
But goes around killing mice
And oh
Just pulling out of a parking space
You know he looks twice
That’s what makes him so nice
The Hesitant Man
He’s got eyes in his head
Ah but he’ll never use them
‘Cause he wouldn’t be caught dead
The Hesitant Man
Oh he’s got wild needs
But he’ll never go to greet them
‘Cause he’s not gonna beat them
And oh
As he’s pulling out of a parking space
You know he looks twice
That’s what makes him so nice
The Hesitant Man
Ah he’ll never kiss first
‘Cause he knows it’ll only increase their thirst
Self-righteous and holy
Oh that Hesitant Man
He’ll make you think he’s so humble
But that’s just part of his plan
And oh
As he’s pulling out of a parking space
You know he looks twice
That’s what makes him so nice
The Hesitant Man
Well he’s got nothing
But he wants something to obey
And that’s okay
The Hesitant Man
Well he’ll stray further
Into his own mind everyday
And that’s okay
Oh that’s okay

Standing on the moon
Won’t you come see us so soon?
Won’t you get in your rocket ship
We’ll forget about all of this
‘Cause this rock with craters
Can be better than
A world filled with people
Water and land
You know it’s lonely on Base 67
And the moon is closer to heaven
We can party all night long
‘Cause these moon nights
Are 27 days long
And this rock with craters
Can be better than
A world filled with people
Water and land
You gotta live

Say people
Are you feeling blue and don't know what to do?
Has life got you feeling up, down, and all around?
Try the tonic that gets you back on it
That's Dr. Cabana's Palm Frond Potion
It's the cure-all for you all
It's the drink that makes you think
That's Dr. Cabana's Palm Frond Potion
This is a special news bulletin
Rock and roll gang known as "The Moths" are still at large
After breaking out of their secret underwater prison
The gang was incarcerated after their hypnotic rhythms inspired riots across the good old U-S-of-A
They continue to carve a swath of destruction across the American Southwest
Truly a band on the run

It’s been so long
Since I found myself
Is something wrong?
Or is it something else?
I missed your call
But you missed mine
You’re feeling rough
Oh but baby you’ll find
I got some people asking
How and when we met
I got to do some digging
‘Cause it’s hard to forget
And though we’ve gotten bloody
A time or two
One night is black
And tomorrow is blue
Tell me where you’ve been
I really wanna know
I’ve been asking my friends
Tell me where you’re at
I won’t show up
I just want the facts
They found your car
Parked up the street
Your house is dark
Your yard is all weeds
I heard your name
On an Amber Alert
My favorite boots
Are covered in dirt
Now granted I’ve been dodging calls
From my shrink
The cops are coming knocking
Just to ask what I think
The contents of your closet
Fucked me up in the head
But even if I’m breathing
Just be grateful I’m dead
Tell me where you’ve been
Well I’ve been drinking heavy
So don’t let me in
Tell me where you’re at
I don’t need a key
It’s under the mat
Tell me where you’ve been
Ooh maybe baby I'm under your skin
Tell me where you’re at
I been loving you like I'm wearing a mask
Tell me where you’ve been
You been under the ground
But I’ll see you again
Tell me where you’re at
You were so heavy
I threw out my back
Tell me where you’ve been
I really wanna know
I’ve been asking my friends
Tell me where you’re at
I won’t show up
I just want the facts
I gotta tell you baby
I haven’t seen you around much
I was wondering
I mean really wondering
I mean just tell me where you are
What you’ve been up to
What’s your social security number?

A little past three
3:34
Four comes and you’re out the door
You’re trying hard just to realize
All those things in your mind
That make you see right past the sky
And everything you’ve ever done is wrong
But still you wait for her to sing that song
And even when your heart is on the line
It’s always fine for you
Even when you were a younger child
You always played with your eyes
But now you’ll find that you’re much older child
And all those things in your mind
They’ll make you look right through her eyes
And everything you’ve ever done is wrong
Oh
But still you wait for her to sing that song
And even when your hearts breaks out
Your love will end
And everyone you see is almost dead
And even when your hearts beats slowly on the ground
You find the time
The time
Oh you find the time
The time
You’ll find the time
For time
For time
For time
A little past four
And you’re out the door
Even though you’re in disguise
But then you find when you’re walking out the door
The door

These city lights have me so blue
But sometimes I don’t know what to do
But to breathe them in
Rudy said you were the man
But the dude has never had a plan
But to feel things out
Remember what you said to me
All those nights ago
Prescriptions running freely
But we’re almost out of blow
Dr. Cabana
I’m writing you from Havana
When I saw you standing there
Did you even care?
Did you even care?
Dr. Cabana
I’m moving back to Savannah
When I saw you standing there
In your winded hair
Those bottled feelings made you fine
But then you tried to bottle mine
And I gave in
Your Palm Frond Potion got me there
But when you left
I didn’t even care
I was too far out
Remember what you said to me
All those nights ago
Prescriptions running freely
But we’re almost out of blow
Dr. Cabana
I’m writing you from Havana
When I saw you standing there
Did you even care?
Did you even care?
Dr. Cabana
I’m moving back to Savannah
When I saw you standing there
In your winded hair

Here I am
I’m 42
My father broke his back
To put me through school
The simulation test turned out alright
I came out on top
When I met Caroline
It’s three, two, one
All systems are go
You know all this hard work
Will soon be shown
I’m six months off the mission has spanned
Nothing ever goes according to plan
No I left the planet three years yesterday
I should’ve listened to Ma
She told me to stay
‘Cause the stuff they call food
Won’t stay down
I miss Frank’s Diner from my hometown
I wanna get back
I need to get low
I never would’ve thought I’d feel so alone
‘Cause Houston is dead
I’m flying blind
All I see are the stars
They’re shining so bright
I miss my kids
I miss my wife
I got to get back to terrestrial life
My CPU is almost gone
This cold dark hole I’m not so fond of
Cosmic tides are rising so high
I gotta get a brand new ride
If I’m gonna make it after all this time
I gotta get a brand new ride
I sent a transmission at 0-6-4
‘Cause I’m heading toward a force
That’s never been explored
It’s pulling me in
I know where I’ll be
On the verge of my singularity
My ship just ripped
An EVA
It’s my final space walk
I’m so afraid
Electric powers flicker off
And I’m going in the void
And stretching so tall
Looking back while I’m going in
The universe before me
I see when it began
The end of time’s the end of me
It’s the end of time
The end of me

There's a leftist to the right of me
And a rightist to my left
Don't you speak another word my friends
Or you'll both soon might regret
You got your opinions
And I've got mine
Let's not waste each other's breath and time
'Cause we both know
You won't change your mind
And I won't listen to your lies
Will you listen to mine?
Whether family or friend
May be threaten
I will hold my tongue no more
You may be soon regretting
Some old foolish mistake
You just made
'Cause there's a bounty on your head
And I gotta get paid
So watch your mouth
(Watch your mouth)
Don't you give me that lip
(Don't you give me that lip)
Would you hold your tongue? (Would you hold your tongue?)
And let us have our fun
When family or friend
May be threaten
I will hold my tongue no more
You may be soon regretting some more
So sit right back
All my friends
Listen to these words
Let's not pretend
Put down your fist
And turn them to applause
Congraulate this life
Rise above its flaws
Put down your first
And turn them to applause
Congratulate this life
Rise above its flaws
Never allow a person's hate
To take you very far
Look into their mirror
And be wiser than they are
Because in the end
It's death that will bring us together
Let's try to live in peace
And know this won't last forever
Oh I walk around this town every day
Now I see those hypocrites every way
Now yes I walk around this town every day
Now I see those hypocrites every way oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Dr. Cabana
Where did your love go?
Dr. Cabana
Where did your love go?
Was conception at the dawn of man
When you rose from the sands?
So it is told by the relics of the land
Primordial lightning struck the Earth
And from it emerged a man
The sands of time stopped flowing
To make his wretched form
With a heart of stone and eyes of glass
He stood naked and alone
Across the ancient desert
A city gleamed like God
But what significance is a higher power
To a man born of sod?
For beneath the gilded surface
Lies a city of never enough
With depravity, greed, and lust, and avarice
And all that stuff
For the man of Earth he bares no feet of clay
And the city of gold is still whispered of to this day
But the sins of man were imbedded in his skull
And like a doctor a remedy must be culled
And he roared
And he roared
And he roared
And he roared
Did he mourn the dead laying at his feet?
Ha, what’s dust to dust?
But a curious thing did happen then
And you’ll hear tell I trust
For I watched the carnage in the desert that day
From my cabana on the hill
And after a tempest had said its piece
A man stood perfectly still
For the wind and the rain
Was all that remained
And the wind and the rain
Told the man his name
He could taste and see and feel and smell
The whipping rains and silt
He could hear the heartbeat of the land
And it sounded just like this
Dr. Cabana
Where did your love go?
Did you think you were being fair
When you were in the jungle air?
They were deep in the jungle
And they were running low on supply
So Cabana looked right into his first sergeant’s eyes
He waited long until the nighttime
So his pain would be the least
He threw his sergeant on the spit
What a glorious feast
Don’t you ask where these rations came from Private Johnson
Now you better eat up
You’ll need your strength
The search party leaves at 0600 for Sergeant Brian
Dr. Cabana
Where did your love go?
Did you lose it many years ago
When you were in the ice and snow?
I volunteered myself and told the men
That this will not be the end of me
Even in this nature, I hold no fear
Mother by my side under a sky so clear
Although icy chasms may take them all
Through her acts, her treachery I revere
And I will not repent the human things I saw
But admire them for the collective strength and loving spirits
As children of nature we all are
Dr. Cabana
Dr. Cabana
Dr. Cabana (We need to see you)
Dr. Cabana (Where did they hide you?)
Dr. Cabana (You came from the sands yeah)
Dr. Cabana (You are the land yeah)
Dr. Cabana (You are in the air yeah)
Dr. Cabana (You know what is fair yeah)
Dr. Cabana (You are in the trees yeah)
Dr. Cabana (And I’m on my knees yeah)
Dr. Cabana (You are in my dreams yeah)
Dr. Cabana (You inhuman god yeah)
Dr. Cabana (Would you give me a sip of your Palm Frond Potion yeah?)
Dr. Cabana
Doctor doctor (We need to see you)

Papa always told you to tow the line
But he never told you the toad's your wife
‘Cause he’s swampy
Swampy Jones
You better bring home the flies (Bring home the flies)
If you’re eight foot four
And ugly as sin
You got a tree bark face
And slimes your thing
Then you’re swampy
Swampy Jones
Gonna get away (Gotta get away)
A cute little place in the Florida Keys
But the Everglades ain’t what you mean
‘Cause old Swampy
Swampy Jones
He gonna get them now (He gotta get them now)
Friday night is one reprieve
With the Green Street Band and Piano Steve
It ain’t his face that’s making them scream
When he makes that flat top guitar sing
That’s just Swampy
Swampy Jones
You’re gonna hear those licks (You gotta hear these licks)
Late at night creeping through the swamp
You know what he wants
When you're drunk and the time is right
You'll play video games til the early light
With good old Swampy
Swampy Jones
You’re gonna get down now

I ran to you without closing the door
But now my life has become such a bore
So now I’m asking
‘cause I believe in loving you
And I think you’ll do just what you want to do baby
Well how you feeling baby right now?
‘Cause I’ve been murdered by your eyes
With no hello or goodbyes
I’m trying to keep things light
But it makes me feel alright to see you
Yeah you baby
‘Cause I believe in loving you
And I think you’ll do just what you want to do baby
Well how does that make you feel babe right now?
‘Cause I’ve been murdered by your eyes
With no hello or goodbyes
I’m trying trying trying to keep things light
But it makes me feel alright to see you babe
Yeah you baby

Foolish Boy

You said meet you at the square
And your letter was oh so long
And you read it fully prepared
And you said that I’d put you in this song
That was our end
My one and only friend
You told me that
We’d meet again
I remember when we were good
That time we danced all we could
And made love all that day
But now
Can’t be that way
So now I drink alone
This sorrow It holds my throat
That was our end
My one and only friend
You told me that
We'd meet once again
I was just your foolish boy
And you were always acting coy
I was just your foolish boy
And you were always acting coy
I was just your foolish boy
And you were always acting coy
I was just your foolish boy
And you were always acting so coy
I said I was just your foolish boy
And you were always acting coy
I said I was just your foolish boy
And you were always acting so coy
I said I was just your foolish boy
I said I was just your foolish boy

He asked me
"You wanna be in the industry?"
I said to him
"I ain't no industry man my friend"
When he left the band
I put my feet in the quicksand
But I have this friend
Who has seen the doctor
He saw him
At the Margarita Ball
He was handsome
Distinguished
And very tall
There are things in this world
Which are better left unsaid
I was in a hall
With a wolf of fire
And a golden dog
We watched our wolf devour our dog
I felt empathy inside of me
I felt my father's hand restricting me
There are reasons to be proud of
All your terrible friends
I was in a room
With a pedestal
There was a platter there
Of ripened purple grapes
We had to walk through
A sea of monstrous, poisonous, and venomous snakes
We're the prophets of the doctor
Who tells us "eat the grapes"
Oh yeah
I'm the moth that is drawn to
The light that might be fake
Oh no
Oh but I love the doctor
I love my doctor
I love my doctor
I love the doctor
Knows the secrets of this world
I hope I'd find them in some girl
But now I see the doctor's ways
To learn, to love, to seldom behave
In with me
In with you
Helps me and my days on through
A part of me
We're part of
Does not mind original sin
For as long as we love
As long as we live
My doctor will always grin
I love my doctor
I love the doctor
I love

The only thing you have to fear
Are psychos crawling in through your ear
Though life flows on spiritually
Don’t throw your stems into the sea
Was it left or was it right that we decided to go?
Well I don’t know
I couldn’t tell you what he said
I had my head in the clouds
Was it profound?
Rococo-isms buzzing through
That circus seen
Don your costume
There’s nothing you can do about a zoo
But wonder who’s got their ticket ticket too
Words just express a mindset
So wipe them off your tongue
Switch legs and see us in
The waiting room as one
You’ll need a brave mind for the ride
It’s nothing out but it’s all inside
Don’t ignore the bee but still eat your honey
Isn’t it the most beautiful thing you’ve ever seen
Let us know if there’s anything you find appealing
Sally Hatchet’s on the radio
There are noises from the room next door
And everybody saw you leave with him
And I’m beginning to begin again
So fall free
Your love is on display
Today is the day we’ve waited for
And I know how lonely life can be
Today I’m settling the score
|

Now Tammy’s in the kitchen
She’s rolling her eyes
Learned a couple truths and one perpetual lie
And Richard from the corner was doing so well
Has a lot to say and yet nobody to tell
For every thought and every feeling
That you’ve had every day
Can be recreated in a most appealing way
If we can leave you with this
And it may come as a shocker
Just be a little patient and make a visit to your doctor
If you feel alright
By the morning we’ll be gone
If you want some loving
Just leave your porch light on
If you feel alright
By the morning we’ll be gone
If you want some loving
Just leave your porch light on
