Châteauneuf-du-Pape

Caught a plane by mistake
Straight like a pine, bent like a snake
Sporting pale black eyes, sporting crisp white shirt
Got a number nine and a bible verse
In a fortress town, Châteauneuf-du-Pape,
Under pain of death from a traffic cop
"What does this one do?" cries the child. Go free!
And with a tortured breath sighs relief
You never know where you're gonna wind up now.

On the Ground

Happiness is just a fad
You're the worst best love I've ever had
and I have had a few.
I"ll knock a few more back for you
Cliffs of Dover, King of Spain
Where what's lost did once remain
Tucked away from view in a field of foreign hues
Bought myself a tent, tired of paying the rent
So I settled in a better part of town
Sticklers on the vine, teachers drinking wine
Everybody passes it around
Living on the Ground
The Rolling Stones met the Beatles once
at a discotheque called Alladin Brunch
Neither chose to lose
Some say they both refused
Bought myself a tent, tired of paying the rent
So I settled in a better part of town
Sticklers on the vine, teachers drinking wine
Everybody passes it around
Living on the Ground

Mr. Taxovich

The key to heaven was hung from the rafters
and we're perfect on the road
Driving through the static, find some new place to unfold
But the rain must have delayed it
Rain always wastes my time
Mr. Taxovich don't start no shit
This ain't Warsaw or wintertime
You've got your bragging rights
A couple souvenirs
You're so out of sight
Oh Oh Oh
You've got to stay cool
I skipped too far ahead this time and now I'm lost and can't rewind
Your pretty pictures of the past look bad in natural light
But the rain must have delayed it
Rain always makes me moan
Mr. Taxovich don't start no shit
You're a long long way from home
You've got your bragging rights
A couple souvenirs
You're so out of sight
Oh Oh Oh
Lord keep it cool

This Week's Winner
03:40

I partook in a forced cry today and let me tell you I've never felt so grand
There were people weeping in droves all across the fatherland
I ain't no hero man
I can leave anytime I plan
I ain't no hero, man
From my tenement on 42nd street I saw a newsboy getting patted down
Which to be honest with you really isn't all that uncommon in this part of town
I ain't no hero man
I can leave anytime I plan
I ain't no hero, man
I discovered my ability staring at a portrait head
The lighting was all wrong but I guess that's better thought than said
I ain't no hero man
I can leave anytime I plan
I ain't no hero, man
Skirting through the clouds I swooped down on the shining streets of Juarez
Does anybody know who this week's winner of the war is?
He said I ain't no charlatan
We're all just doing the best we can
I ain't no charlatan
He took one look at my overcoat and started to laugh
Do you think big jet planes and gold sculptures are a symbol of class?
You've got keys to the Ritz but don't mind eating of the trash
I guess you ain't no hero man
