Disco Eyes 04:24
I feel it breaking apart now Shards of glass in the place of your eyes You never wanted me and i guess i never wanted you We were just spinning lights Looking for a mirror To bounce light off back into ourselves But there's no dancing when there's no disco ball and there's no chances once you've left the hall Well i can't dance to the sound of my is breaking But i'll be alright I've gotta try Bubbles underwater So you can hear me scream I'm a mermaid underwater I'm just trying to breathe You were my disco ball You were my bright my shiny I'll be alright i'll be alright I've got my light in my eyes Disco eyes i've got my own disco eyes Disco eyes much to your surprise I've got my own light in my eyes i've got my disco eyes

Alien 05:13
I was walking home from the grocery store With a bag of groceries That i got at the grocery store and you appeared you were on my street The street that i live on What are you doing on the street that i live on You asked me HEY CAN I HELP YOU You asked me HEY CAN I HELP YOU with that bag of groceries? Because they look really heavy (and it was) There was something different about you There was something different about you and your glowing eyes What's in your glowing eyes? They were radioactive green They were radioactive i felt funny on the inside When i looked into those green eyes I said: where did you come from? You said: don't worry about it babe- I'm from outer space i come from the solar system i didn't know what to do, i'd never met an alien before all i could say was: can i hold your hand? your little alien hand? let me be your friend, your little alien girlfriend (that would be so cool, yeah) we took a walk on the beach at night we took a walk on the beach under starry skies it was like so beautiful i had to cry your eyes were glowing green apple ring pops your eyes were glowing green apple- i felt funny on the inside when i looked into your green eyes i didn't know what to do i didn't know how to think i didn't know how to act all i could say to you was this really stupid thing which was: can i hold your hand? your little alien hand? (it's just so cute) let me be your friend, your little alien girlfriend i said hey: let's go back to my place we can watch television and eat Hot Pockets but you said: i gotta go back to space i've got a 3o'clock appointment with a rocket (yeah right)(no way) as you waived your little alien hand good-bye there were tears in my eyes as i started to cry

i like it when we touch teeth let's explore this city and see what's underneath 'cause i've got an all-day buspass and we can ride just as long as it lasts let's go on all the adventures we can steal your grandpa's dentures and we can talk talk talk talk talk with our flappy gums riding bikes and catching no-see-ums 'cause i've got an all-day buspass and we can ride just as long as it lasts

May I Find U 03:15
aaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAA May i find u in my dreams May i find u scattered in the leaves May i find u on john avenue May i find u living in unbroken tombs uuuuuuuuuu We lost each other or rather: We got carried away I thought we were safe here together But now i don't know what to say In your place was a puddle of gasoline It was seven long years More than just a feeling May i find u

Yearning 03:23
I saw a mountain today And the mountain, it talked back It said everything was going okay And that it would be here for a little while Not to worry, if you start to feel the pull Because there's always (always always) time to return Don't get lost in yearning Don't get lost in yearning Has it been that long, could it be that long, Has it been that long since We were jumping over Four-leaf clovers And catching pollen With our tongues It was the longest fall, the longest fall, the longest fall it seemed It lasted forever And now my head's upside down And I've got to SCREAM Don't get lost in yearning Don't get lost in yearning/ you're burning/ you're hitting the ground You're falling/ you're crawling/ Your head's upside down And now my head's upside down And I've got to SCREAM Oohm shalalala

[Choir of Perfection] Even though your teeth are so white and i can't see past the light I still like you and just because you're the mostly perfect thing that i have ever seen and i don't like this feeling I still like you and even if i can't take you serious Because you sit so pristine and glamorous I still like you and just because i've got a bit more Chin Fuzz I guess i'm jealous? I still like you and even though you never seem to know where do you wanna go Out to dinner I still like you and just because sometimes it gets so dark inside that i can't see Past the light I still like you but How can you love what is perfect? [AND SO, THE THREE HEROES OF “HALF AN ANIMAL” EMERGED VICTORIOUS FROM THEIR PSYCHIC BRAIN PRISON OF THE ENIGMA THAT IS: PERFECTION. THE TRIUMPHANT TRIO: BETH, MARCIA, AND ALEC, FINALLY AND CONFIDENTLY CAME TO A CLIMACTIC CONCLUSION CONCERNING THE CURRENT CULMINATION OF CONSUMMATION AND ITS CRUSH. THE ANSWER, IN TRUE FASHION, IS SIMPLE: EXACTLY HOW CAN YOU LOVE WHAT IS PERFECT?] {You can't.} do-do-dodo-do-do-dodo-do How can you love what is perfect? How can you love what is perfect? Perfection is fleeting. How can you love what is perfect? Perfection is fluid. How can you love what is perfect? How can you love what is perfect? Don't give up the fight. Don't lose your friends to stupid fights. Because they're the ones that are worth fighting for.
