Open the gates, receive the days amusement, Laugh and rejoice, I’m here for a good time There, there I see He is calling to me Drawn by beady red eyes, Up the stair I climb Pasty white skull, black top hat Fingers clutching for me It must have been ages, we are all still here I can’t comprehend how I am still alive On and on the wheels grind, Over, under, side to side Birthed of some sadistic mind MR BONES WILD RIDE Up the rails, ‘round curves and bends Twist and turn ‘til sickness ends Does my certain doom impend? Mr Bones, will it end? On and on the wheels grind, Over, under, side to side Birthed of some sadistic mind MR BONES WILD RIDE Up the rails, ‘round curves and bends Twist and turn ‘til sickness ends Does my certain doom impend? Will it ever end? Screams! From behind, “I’ve had enough!” “Let me off, let me off, oh please, let me off!” I turn to see, He is going to jump “You can’t get off, you’ll never get off! No… NO!” On and on the wheels grind, Over, under, side to side Birthed of some sadistic mind MR BONES WILD RIDE Up the rails, ‘round curves and bends Twist and turn ‘til sickness ends Does my certain doom impend? Mr Bones, will it end? On and on the path it winds Over and under that awful sign Birthed of some sadistic mind MR BONES WILD RIDE Tight as air the path ahead Filling me with total dread I find myself to start again The ride never ends! No it never ends!

Thought I was happy with you But now we are apart I feel a great burden lifting off my heart I’m seeing someone new Someone more flexible Your refusal to change was completely detestable Your antiquated ways Used to kill me Breaking up with you was such a pain My new companion Is there anytime A set of features, the menu so fine So many hours together Can’t quit this love we had forever 8 bucks a month is all I pay Leaving cable was the best choice I ever made Glass of wine and the evening news These memories make me miss you Ads for Wal-Mart, big and blue Gave me time to grab a brew But I think it’s best to part Embrace the change within our hearts My newfound love for her art Won’t judge me if I choose to watch Paul Blart 8 bucks a month is all I pay Leaving cable was the best choice I ever made

Come before me master, we will cure your disease Sacred desert plant will bring you down upon your knees, Now that it has grown, I give to you this quest You know not what it holds, but through it you’ll find your Destiny Flying on my journey toward the Western coast Mighty wings that carry me to fight the serpents ghost A hoard of shining tentacles attacks me from the sea I brandish my electro axe for now I cannot, Free A world waiting Torrential raining Lizard breath freezing I must prevail Flashing, thrashing Great beast is now falling Spirit maiden Calls me to soar high Light blinding me eyes I’m paralyzed So many spines Steal her, I I can’t believe Out of a dream Spiky and green Save her A drugtacular Cactacular Tentacular Spectacular A drugtacular Cactacular Tentacular Spectacular Thunder, lighting The world will brighten Stabbing, slashing I will prevail Mashing, Bashing The great plant is now falling Spirit maiden Calls me to save her Onward to victory I see the truth In my minds it is all in my mind Wake to this room so white

Shadows lurk around my home, Demonic foodlust takes me I crave indulgence and the glorification Of my freezers dulcet tones I gather unholy instruments Kvltlery and plates most dire The screaming pain and infuriation Of my stomachs unremittant groans Five points of crust Calories of blazing scorn The turkey carcass and the dead façade Of your diet as it combusts Wisdom from the light Light of the Dijon star The Beelzebub, lettuce and tomato on whole wheat bread Served with side of fries

(The darkest depths of the Kremlin) The time, my love has come, resurrect our fallen comrade (To the tomb of Marx) This final test of will, retrieve his manifesto From the words of Marx and the Western tears, To the Swiss blood spilled of American fears, We will be together to paint the world red, the power of my love will bring you back from the dead With the help of the devil to see my dream, hear the sudden cry of capitalist screams Lead us now my great Red Star, to become the NU S S R (To New New York I fly) Upon my secret plane, karate chop a child (Now I need the final piece) To the bankers lands I fly, shoot a man just like his cheese From the words of Marx and the Western tears, To the Swiss blood spilled of American fears, We will be together to paint the world red, the power of my love will bring you back from the dead With the help of the devil to see my dream, hear the sudden cry of capitalist screams Lead us now my great Red Star, to become the NU S S R From the words of Marx and the Western tears, To the Swiss blood spilled of American fears, You were never love, you were just a slave, but you will be rewarded as a hair on my face Become a great part of my mustache eternal, watch in awe as my scheme unfurls I will lead you, I am the Red Star, I will create the NU S S R

The Catholic Church has gone too far, Centuries of corruption Hordes of unwashed sheeple are Disease unto the sun Somebody has got to put Them back into their place I volunteer myself To bring them their disgrace Ring the doorbell and leave a surprise Set fire to a paper bag with dog poop inside! At the local grocery Buy all of their toilet paper Then sneak out into blackest night To pull my heinous caper All over their architecture, Their windows and their walls They’re caught in a devious web Toilet paper covers all Ring the doorbell and leave a surprise Set fire to a paper bag with dog poop inside! Paint can in hand Spraying the hatred All over the churches walls Message marked in red “No-one likes the pope! His Pope hat really stinks! No-one likes the pope! At least no-one who thinks!” Disturbing the priest, very slightly Useless man, watering babies, preaching so shite-ily Annoying the ministers, doing it nightly An eye booger to the face of God, they all can bite me! Sneaking in on a Sunday morning to pull the fire alarm There’s really no fire at all, they’ve fallen for my charm With all my cunning, I perform A cruel and devious dance I find the priest while he’s shopping, And pull down his pants! With this phonebook, it won’t take long to find How to give the Vatican the call of a lifetime! Rrr…uhh… Satan! Disturbing the priest, very slightly Useless man, watering babies, preaching so shite-ily Annoying the ministers, doing it nightly An eye booger to the face of God, they all can bite me!

Just one book report lost on the wind Landed on a forgotten sandwich Sitting on an ancient burial ground Tripped on by Shaq, who's blood soaked the earth The old world changed, a strange reaction Transformed into a dark empty void Only one creature now called it home The giant squid Giggles, sad and alone Sleeping in space The Great Moose waits Drifting through time Until he awakes Giggles soon died and became our planets But with no sun there could be no life The planets debated about what to do Until brave Pluto set forth with plan He floated away into the next system And challenged their sun to Mario Kart It was a close call but Pluto prevailed He lost all his power to bring us our light Sleeping in space The Great Moose waits Drifting through time Until he awakes Meanwhile back by planet earth Two moons, named Adam and Steve Were in love Their attraction pulled them into the planet They crashed just as the sun ignited Creating life Join us now in prayer:  PRAISE THE MOOSE ETERNAL
