Punctuation of the Universe, Part I 03:08
lyrics

sailing the seas of soda in the galaxy i seek the source of punctuation searching for the mysteries that it hides evading nationalism and anti-inflammation sinks are unavailable, actions are precarious we understand this not knowing what we mean politically select puzzlemakers warnings of overbearing flatulence but nobody listened now they're all in caves resolutions were defeated, it seemed hopeless myriads of army bags fled the scene some came together to form hobby centers raiding and destruction of the postal system there is nothing of value overpowered by a big tent is this what we're talking about these days? all of you are looking for punctuation in the universe am i looking for punctuation in the universe?

the jellybeans are reaching for the light they crawl through the easter grass, almost in sight their colors glow as they get higher pink, yellow green, lilac, rose red, brighter and brighter when they reach the surface something is amiss the easter eggs are all sad the yellow marshmallow chicks are alarmed what's going on up here? what's going on up here? the hollow chocolate bunnies have gone away hollow chocolate bunnies where oh where have you gone? hollow chocolate bunnies what are we going to do without you? hollow chocolate bunnies please, please won't you come back? the easter basket ecosystem is degrading an anarchy takes over, we've lost our sanity what could've caused them to leave? what could've caused them to leave? the jellybeans are planning to migrate in search of new grazing grounds can we get them back before they leave? can we get them back before they leave? hollow chocolate bunnies where oh where have you gone? hollow chocolate bunnies what are we going to do without you? hollow chocolate bunnies please, please won't you come back? where do we go from here? just as the jellybeans were about to leave the sight of chocolate bunny ears just rising above the distant horizon the jellybeans can't believe their eyes "where did you go?" "we went shopping for vacuum cleaner bags and screen doors" "what?"

it's funny why did we cause such a fuss? why did we blame it on the devil? why didn't we take our vitamins? it's funny why are the plums purple? why did we think it was so large? why is this so funny? funny funny funny it's funny i didn't realize it was always there the solution was so simple it's funny don't you think? all of you are looking for punctuation in the universe it's right on the end of your pencil all of you are looking for punctuation in the universe just make a dot when you end the sentence all of you are looking for punctuation in the universe make a squiggly line and a straight one with dots at the bottom for statements without boring endings it was so simple why were we looking for punctuation? what could we have been thinking?

Two Rolls on the Floor 05:36

i can see the rolls rising in the oven a rainbow is formed when sunlight arrives everything is so silent a deep blue sky above an oven full of rolls the night creeps away a certain unease in the air description is unaccessible so strong, so silent suddenly the oven emits light and radiation temperatures rise higher and higher the oven mitts are vaporized in seconds oh, two rolls on the floor it is easy to clean when you have a picnic table a pool of potato salad and chocolate milk why couldn't we prevent this? everything you know can't help was it some kind of yeast or snow? can you tell me what has happened? what has happened since i've been gone? why are there two rolls on the floor? buildings have been relieved of years of stress my ears know nothing about your dress did you catch a glimpse of them while you were here? they know nothing about ice cream because i don't give any to them mathematically equal shows of verbs why do you think we don't know anything? two rolls on the floor what could you possibly tell them? two rolls on the floor what could they possibly tell you?

The Great Big Hug of Life 15:12
lyrics

ozone gently escaping the forest brains gently misplacing memories evaporation of spilt soda from the table bouncing verbs off the tips of our tongues squeezing bumps out of the crunchclock woozie whopper of a telephone bill you know that i know about the ironing board a toaster permeates the atmosphere with crumbs millipedes venture into harm's way only to find bees swarms of clean rags escaping through the front door hello, how are you? hello, how have you been? let me give you the great big hug of life the great big hug of life a clothesline where the pants all hang gathered together just a few minutes of this seems like a lifetime count your inches of dental floss decorating the mirror perimeter know that a cardboard crown can release your stamps meet people that you have never met giving it all you got and winning big time knowing that all the reports are good the milk and cheese congratulate you on your success you give them a great big hug and treat them to cheese and crackers get out the wine and give the greatest toast ever hello, how are you? hello, how have you been? let me give you the great big hug of life the great big hug of life life is a long, winding journey you see the warnings, see the good signs you know where you're going, learning more and more keep away from trouble and all the people looking to use you you will find out a lot about kaiser rolls and window cleaners hello, how are you? hello, how have you been? let me give you the great big hug of life the great big hug of life
