20 MINUTES OF OXYGEN

If I had the brains, here's what I'd do
Build a time door and visit my youth
This cigar burn is for effect
In the future you won't forget
When you're trapped in that airtight room
Flick the red switch but not the blue

So, if you remember
If you remember me
That'd be the rip-cord in my destiny

I know how it sounds, trust me on this
Your life to be hangs on this one choice
Keep your Hilti near, you'll know when
Twenty minutes of oxygen

So, if you remember
If you remember me
That could be the rip-cord in my destiny
So, if you remember
If you remember me
That could be the rip-cord in my destiny

If I had the brains, that's what I'd do

Build that time door and poke my head through
It's too late now and I'm still dumb
Twenty minutes of oxygen

No, you won't remember
You won't remember me
There'll be no rip-cord in my destiny
No, you won't remember
You won't remember me
There'll be no rip-cord in my destiny

THE INNSMOUTH LOOK

I met her at the EOD
She sank her dew claws into me

We stepped out to watch the tide come in
She said a little swim would do some wonders for your skin
I shed my old self, slipped into the sea

One glance was all it took
She gave me the Innsmouth look
(x2)

I dig her batrachian lips
Her bulbous eyes and scaly hips

She's got secrets but they'll soon be mine
Oh, Father Dagon smiles upon me from the bas-relief
And something's fishy down at Devil Reef

One glance was all it took
She gave me the Innsmouth look
(x2)

Obed was a sailor
He sailed the 7 seas
He made love to the fish
He made love to the fish

He made love to the fishies
(repeat ad nauseam)

One glance was all it took
She gave me the Innsmouth look

POWER UP

They said it wasn't safe at night
We knew what we had to do
We ironed out our tights
Each one of us
Watched our folks gunned down
We took our vitamins
Three glasses of milk a day

Fight to protect
We made the headlines
The government supplied
An X-shaped laboratory

We're copyright
Our name sold soft drinks
We saw the Pentagon
And had our picture taken

We're out there fighting crime and
We're gonna make the time and
We'll get it right
We'll power up
(x2)

No pension plan
Thinktank is bankrupt
Sixty-eight ninety-five
Just for one Magno-Gun charge

Otto Destruct's engaged
Dark Crab's in A.A.
Our stock is plummeting
They pulled the plug on Deep Freeze

We're out there fighting crime and
We're gonna make the time and
We'll get it right
We'll power up

FROGSTAR

Radio waves are pouring from their hideaways
So deep, so loud,
I think I hear them coming out

They pierced our hull with caustic cosmic barnacles
Two days to go
Still waiting for the hatch to blow

We're so alone
Frogstar's the closest thing to home
And if we fail
I'll be the one to drive the nail
(2x)

We gave our souls for a million writhing tadpoles
So fair, so proud
Tucked in their magellanic cloud

We're so alone
Frogstar's the closest thing to home
And if we fail
I'll be the one to drive the nail
(2x)

The last nail

THE MATH SONG

Y
Y equals X over 5
5 to the power of Z (?)
Z (?) is the square root of 3
3 is the number for me
I said

X
X by the tangent of N
N minus pi over 10
That equals negative 9
Negative 9 is so fine

You've got a brain
And nobody really needs another love song
Love song
(x4)

N
N is the product of V
V and the cosine of 3
Cube that and add 44
And not an integer more
Baby

V
V equals 1 through the sum
The sum of 101
And 83 over 5
What is the value of Y?

DIES IST UNVERSCHAMTHEIT

Bitte Respekt meinen Wunsch
Ich bin ein Wissenschaftler
Ich tu was ich kann
Ich bin nicht verrükt

Unterbreche dieses nicht
Es ist viel zu delikat
Es ist Versicherungsleistung
Für alle Menschheit

Dieses ist Unverschämtheit
Wohin nehmt ihr mich?

Ihr macht ein grossen Fehler
Ihr kommt mit diesen nicht weg
Wo ist meine Schreibarbeit?
Verlaßt mich sofort

Dieses ist Unverschämtheit
Wohin nehmt ihr mich?

This is an outrage
Where are you taking me?

ENGLISH VERSION for Dies Ist Unverschamtheit

Please respect my wish
I am a scientist
I do what I can
I'm not a madman

Don't interrupt this
It's much too delicate
It's for the benefit
Of all mankind

This is an outrage!
Where are you taking me?

You're making a big mistake
You won't get away with this
Where's my paperwork?
Leave me immediately!

THE CHOSEN ONE

Like the girl that we met at the serpent mound
Like the thing that we saw in the ultrasound
Like the path through the woods that the natives shun
Like the hair on the mole of the chosen one

Either way, we don't pay
Tear the skin right off the sun
Everybody knows who is the chosen one

Like the star in the stone of the elder thing
Like the deal that we made with the morlock king
Like the path through the woods that the natives shun
Like the hair on the mole of the chosen one

Either way, we don't pay
Tear the skin right off the sun
Everybody knows who is the chosen one

SLAVE SHIP

Off in the distance rises up a mighty roar
I look around to see I'm not touching the floor
I'm just a pawn in ancient pan-galactic wars
To mine the ether ore is my eternal chore
Not here, not now, not anymore
I'm tired and my head is sore

Asteroids live and breathe and planets fall in love
Bat-beings groan and seethe and fit you like a glove
Traverse Orion's leg in the blink of an eye
Warm hands at dying suns and boiling midnight skies
No day or night, eternal vacuum, hard and cold
I slave where time is growing old

Slaveship

Slaveship
We're on
Another run
Slaveship
We're on
Another run
Slaveship
We're on
Another run
Into the dying sun

KABLAM!

While your particles bounce around
And the chemicals break it down
So your quarks are in disarray
Didn't like you much anyway

Did you kill all the dinosaurs?
Man, it wasn't no meteors
Well I'm sick of your uberworld
And you scream like a little girl

That blows my mind
(x2)

Kablam, Kablam
You're gonna wreck it
(x4)

Still I'm kissing off everything
And I'll sing if I wanna sing
And if that's how it's gonna be
So long

That blows my mind
(x2)

Kablam, Kablam
You're gonna wreck it

THE SOUNDS OF TINDALOS

Open up
Pop 'em down
Just relax
Hear the sounds
Struggle not to be free
Tell us all what you see

Can you tell that we're here
You've got nothing to fear
It's alright
You'll be fine
As you're sucked back in time

Are the walls of the house fading in, fading out?
Are you near?
Are you far?
Can you tell where you are?
Are you trapped?
Are you free?
Simultaneously?
Can you see everything?

Is it black?
Is it gone?
Can you sense what's beyond?
Take a step further back
Just a peek through the crack

Are they force?
Are they space?
Are they dead or awake?
Are they far?
Are they near?
Do they feed on your fear?
Is it life inchoate?
Is it hate concentrate?
Concentrate! Concentrate!

From the corners and bends to they strike yet again and again
