The Harbinger

Treading water in the desert
swimming through the memories
What's written in the sediment
is ours if we can learn to see
In a place where linear thinking's ebbed
and we can simply be
It was more a felt out process
than a thoughtout pre-made plan
Asking questions of the wind and condensation
Making grand majestic gestures -
crawling forward on both hands
A harbinger
You came here to ask questions, open doors and follow leads
While I'm still underwater floating speechless like a seed
I hope you find and recognize the gates to what you need
A harbinger
Everything has memory, the snow and cells and land
I threw my messages in bottles out on desert sands
You're the creature that collected one and brought it to my hand
A harbinger

Mr. Bungalow

I want us all to get so small that all our problems will fade
Remember, dinosaurs were really big and their eggs were beige
The bigger we get closer we are to the end of our days
Can we shrink our buddies if we eat to delete buffets
Oh Oh Oh Mister Bungalow
Shrinking everybody is the way he goes
Oh Oh Oh Mister Bungalow
Shrinking everyone to the size of toes
I need cash flow
I got a crossbow
I'm as white as a marshmallow
I got a sloppy joe in escrow
Got a game show
Vincent Van Gogh doing Tae Kwon Do
Change the status quo
Be a tennis pro
Start up a puppet show
Yo, on skid row
Yo, on skid row
Oh Oh Oh Mister Bungalow
Shrinking everybody is the way he goes
Oh Oh Oh Mister Bungalow
Shrinking everyone to the size of toes
I want us all to get so small that all our problems will fade
(I need cash flow
I got a crossbow
I'm as white as a marshmallow)
Remember, dinosaurs were really big and their eggs were beige
(I got a sloppy joe in escrow
Got a game show
Vincent Van Gogh doing Tae Kwon Do)
The bigger we get closer we are to the end of our days
(Change the status quo
Be a tennis pro
Start up a puppet show
Yo, on skid row)
Can we shrink our buddies if we eat to delete buffets
(Yo, on skid row)
Oh Oh Oh Mister Bungalow
Shrinking everybody is the way he goes
Oh Oh Oh Mister Bungalow
Shrinking everyone to the size of toes
Oh Oh Oh Mister Bungalow
Shrinking every baby is the way he goes
Oh Oh Oh Mister Bungalow
Shrinking everyone to the size of toads

Let's Get Small

Let's Get Small
Until we can't be seen anymore
Let's Get Small
Until we cannot be seen at all
Put your hands together
and wait for the big one to come
Let's Get Small
Until we cannot see at all
Let's Get Small
So we won't see what we know for sure
Let's Get Small
I don't want to look at this big stuff anymore
Let's Get Small
I don't want you to see what I do
Let's Get Small
Maybe you can get smaller, too
Let's Get Small
Let's Get Small
Until we cannot reason at all
Let's Get Small
Until we can't perceive at all
Let's Get Small

The Answer Is Right Here
02:52

Daddy's got a flare for dharma and he says the opposite of what he means
Yes, and when it comes to Mama, she's a fan of whispering even when she screams
They tell me that I should follow
that the way to cope is through Bungalow Dreams
I cannot seem to borrow what I need from someone's cockamamie schemes
They say,"The Answer is Right Here -
in fact it's abundantly clear.
We just have to persevere so shrink away your doubt and fear."
They say, " The Answer is Right Here -
in fact it's abundantly clear.
We just have to persevere, so shrink away your doubt and fear."
You can spell it like that
You can tell it like that
You can spell it, you can smell it, you can sell it like that
You can say it like that
You can pray it like that
You can weigh it, you can pray it, you can play it like that
I can feel a strange emotion like a lunar lotion dripping in my eye
It feels like a stupid notion of a sales promotion for a chicken thigh
They want me to be small, but I want to be as big as that Wasabi Pie
They sell them in the freezer made by Ebenezer that you just passed by
They say," The Answer Is Quite Near- so sit on your hands and cheer.
And in fact it's abundantly clear, so shrink away your doubt and fear."
They say," The Answer Is Right Near - in fact it's abundantly clear, we just have to persevere, so shrink away your doubt and fear."

Parking Lot

Parking Lot
You know your life is like a parking lot
It all depends on what you have and haven't got
You're always looking for a parking spot
If you got a little car, we can fit it in a compact space
And if you got a big truck, we got some space for that
But if you haven't got a car at all, there isn't a place for you here
I don't know why you come by here at all
I'm gonna park the cars for the movie stars
for them that has effect, and for those with a cause
for the ones that is, and for the ones that was
I'm gonna park the cars between the painted bars
Parking Lot
You know my life is in the parking lot
My job depends on what I can fit in a spot
I'm always looking for more than I've got
Parking Lot
You know your life is like a parking lot
It all depends on what you have and haven't got
You're always looking for a parking spot
I'm gonna park the cars for the movie stars
for them that has effect, and for those with a cause
for the ones that is, and for the ones that was
I'm gonna park the cars between the painted bars
Parking Lot
You know my job is in the parking lot
My job depends on what I can fit in a spot
I'm always looking for more than I've got
Parking Lot
You know your life is like a parking lot
It all depends on what you have and haven't got
You're always looking for a parking spot
If you got a little car, we can fit it in a compact space
And if you got a big truck, we got some space for that
But if you haven't got a car at all, there isn't a place for you here
I don't know why you come by here at all
If your car is smaller, you can fit in more of the spots
And if you are smaller, it is easier to get around the lot
But if you don't have a car, we can't provide that.
and if you don't have a car, you can't use a space.
