1.	Welcome To My Mind 02:43	lyrics	buy track
You're not getting out because you're locked inside. I'd like to introduce you to the corners of my mind. ‘Cause I remember the first time I laid my eyes on you. I left the window open hoping baby that you walk through. So welcome, welcome to my mind. I think you'd like to know I can't let you go. And if you even try I'll just close my eyes. Now you're locked inside of my my my my mind. I'm sorry about your fate, but pretty baby, you can't escape. So welcome, welcome to my mind. It's just my mind that I'm trying to find. It's just my mind that's one of a kind. Kinda sounds like: a little of you, and a little of me. Put it all together and we got “we.” So welcome, welcome to my mind. You're certainly welcome, and what's in store is yours. If you'd like the talcum, just look behind the door. ‘Cause I remember the first time I laid my eyes on you. I left the window open hoping baby that you walk through. So welcome, welcome to my mind.
2.	Transistor Sister 01:50	lyrics	buy track
Transistor sister you're so fine, and you're all that I got left I'm gonna bank my cards on you. You've got lips to die for, a heart of gold that I would buy for. And that's just what I'm gonna do. So I'll hold you in my arms for one more night. Wake up in the dawns early light. Oouuwwee baby you're alright. Never got the wrong impression. Only get the best reception. Transistor sister you're o.k. I feel so sad when she's out of range. I get this static in my brain. And this pain won't go away... So I'll hold you in my arms for one more night. Wake up in the dawns early light. Oouuwwee baby you're alright. And transistor sister you're right as rain. There's nothing better than a bourbon kiss but having it bronzed on your lips and then it turns to solid gold. I would ask you for a dance but I know that dance would soon just end and then we'd have to go so I'll hold you in my arms for one more night wake up in the dawns early light Oouuwwee baby you're alright and transistor sister you're right as rain
3.	Seven Years 01:42	lyrics	buy track
I like her, and she likes me, but there's something in between. Seven years she's been seeing him. Seven years with that one man. And I don't think I've got seven years in me. If she's any indication of the kind of her relation, he must be really super, just like Nietzsche's Zarathustra and I don't think I've got seven years in me. Seven years that means she was thirteen Thirteen years old when it began I like her, and she likes me, but we know we can’t come clean. Seven years she's been seeing him. Seven years with that one man. He must be really super, just like Nietzsche's Zarathustra And I don't think I've got seven years in me. Seven years
4.	We're Gone 01:21	lyrics	buy track
(apologies to B. Childish) The place we call our home (go go go) It’s no longer our own It's going going gone (go go go) There is no place that we call home We're gone. There is no place where we come from. They taught us to stand strong going to execute the wrong. Me and my Feathered Friends (go go go) eating out of bulk food bins (go go go) We're gone. There is no place where we come from. We're gone. There is no place where we come from.
5.	How Narvell Felt 02:23	lyrics	buy track
We can pedal, she can pound. Won't get a medal, just get crowned. He's embittered, she's a feat. A non-jet-setter, more upbeat. We can only do well if our heads don't swell to the size of the Krell and beyond written all in boldface and she’s in love with his bass, an amazing grace how sweet this sound. Turn up the treble, got no ground. No foot pedal, sound surround The stones were thrown, it's fun to pelt. Now no one knows how Narvell felt. We can only do well if our heads don't swell to the size of the Krell and beyond written all in boldface and she’s in love with his bass, an amazing grace how sweet this sound. We can pedal, she can pound. You'll get a medal, stick around. “Not a quitter” likes to bleat Just a no-hitter, yet less discreet. We can only do well if our heads don't swell to the size of the Krell and beyond written all in boldface and she’s in love with his bass, an amazing grace how sweet this sound.

7.	You'll Screw the Pooch 00:58	lyrics	buy track
I've been up to the mountain, Crough Patrick was the rock If you turn don't start counting, I'll hide, you'll seek me out Don't make me stew - you'll screw the pooch I was the thing she never got, though no Prince of charms I made her mad, I think a lot, survived without her arms Don't make me stew - you'll screw the pooch I didn't come for no Bistro, I got no taste for stew Unless you call me Maestro evacuate my coop Don't make me stew - you'll screw the pooch
8.	Love You Better 02:11	lyrics	buy track
If you ever get cold at night please do tell baby I can help I'll hold you in my arms until the shaking goes and your runny nose Cuz there ain't nothing that I wouldn't do just make a wish and it'll come true Cuz you're the only reason I know why the days so short and the nights so slow And if it's true that you found someone that's new there'll be her and he'll be gone And I can love you better A hold you in my arms much better and I'll kiss you on the lips much better And I'll collect the tips and hold on to you as time goes on I know now baby that I got my faults and this love keeps doing somersaults End if I ever make it back to my feet I'll stop and drop and ask you please would you please Would you take what I see and make it a reality What add a could make just like today could make if you decide to end my heartache And if I should ever go and fail you now don't you know that I learn how I could love you better I'll take a seat up on the moon, I got binoculars and a program too And if he ever takes a fall I'll drop and prop and that's not all You're so fine and in time I'm going to find a way to get you girl And I don't care what it takes I've been studying so long I can't make a mistake And if it's true that you found someone that's new there'll be her and he'll be gone And I can love you better
