OOPS THERE GOES THE ANTIDOTE
Charlie McCarthy and Fibber McGee
become president and vice
get yourself a working loaf of bread
butter the apocalpyse twice
The new waitress she gets the orders kinda disarrayed
the extension cord will keep you safe
they come in selling all kinds of genuine poison
oops,there goes the antidote...
kind of slippery even when wet
all the way from exotic China
she can hardly even speak
siren, it go bouncing around
send all the sirens back to the sea

FRENCH VANILLA ARMAGEDDON COFFEE HOUSE CRYING SHAME BLUES
wolves slither down by night
soft fur sky
dog/cat hospital claims you ain't nothing but a rejected french
fry. Romance gets out on parole,
gonna be a party somewhere you bet for its return
watch out for the black and whites
Governor Told You So is somewhere lurking in the alley
he can't find his winning lotto ticket
wonder what's the nature of his cold
hard hearted debutantes at his beck and call
yeah, beck and call, they work downtown
next to the all night rejuvenate yourself hey now cafe
wolves whisper jazz
gnaw earth sky
President says you a bad guy
won't let me touch your kite
get a load of these dark room history books
you turn to dance onto the page
explode, implode, don't you know, gotta go, lemme hear those
wounded lucky dice roll
floor show about to begin
French Vanilla Armageddon
Coffee House Crying Shame Blues
you know, that young thing
innocent, tender, honest,
broke her right hand holding up the sun
long enough for you and i
to...
