Elvis Thermometer
01:08

There it was in the shop window
You were eyeing the Elvis Presley thermometer
And there we were at the kosher country club
All because of nostalgia
And there was a grumpy old man
Who made paintings in less than five minutes
He was on his tour throughout New York State
With his gimmick and his bad jokes
I'm more like the painter than I am like you
Because he and I are both living for ourselves
And it makes me wanna buy you that Elvis Presley thermometer
And tell you that it hasn't gone to waste

Freaky Painting
01:44

I found you outside on the sidewalk
You were big and you were smellin like smoke
I was alone but I carried you home
And now you're sittin on my floor
Freaky painting, freaky painting
I don't have a spot for you
Freaky painting, freaky painting
I just don't know what to do
I don't know why anybody'd wanna throw you out
Cause you're pretty good lookin to me
Some people said you might've been some ex-boyfriend's
And some cryin girl just had to set you free
Freaky painting, freaky painting
Sittin there on the floor
Freaky painting, freaky painting
I think you're blockin the door

This Sign
03:23

This sign used to be green
This sign used to be green
From everywhere I've been
I just don't know what it means
This sign used to be green
Well you think that things won't change
But they always rearrange
Nothin ever likes to stay the same
And the older that I get
It's harder to forget
I'll never go back home to better days
This stuff was in the other room
This stuff was in the other room
Now I can't stand to see
That cotton yellow gloom
This stuff was in the other room
Well you think that things won't change
But they always rearrange
Nothin ever likes to stay the same
And the older that I get
It's harder to forget
I'll never go back home to better days
This desk was on the other side
This desk was on the other side
You'd think that I was comatose
Or just curled up and died
This desk was on the other side
This couch had only purple pillows
This couch had only purple pillows
They used to shine so bright
In those little yellow windows
This couch had only purple pillows
This book was lyin on the table
This book was lyin on the table
I just don't understand
Why nothing's ever stable
This book was right here on the table
But you think that things won't change
But they always rearrange
Nothin ever likes to stay the same
And the older that I get
It's harder to forget
You just can't go back home to better days
This sign used to be green
This sign used to be green
I wish I could tell you what it means
This sign used to be green

I Love the Woods
03:51
|

I love the woods
They are so solitary
I love the sea
Outside the monastery
I love the monks
They show me how to live
I wanna go to the city
I take a cab
Down to the big brown building
I'm at the lab
I love experimenting
I love the mice
They never get afraid
I wanna talk to God
I'll sail away
Riding on a big dead body
I'll go to sleep
I won't tell anybody
I love the mice
They show me how to live
I wanna go to the city

Ghost Town

I'm in a ghost town
Yeah, yeah
Nothin to do but just walk around
I saw a cowboy
He said hello
I am a locksmith
Don't you know?
Two clowns
At the front of the room
They are a circle
Don't you know?
Maybe it rained
Maybe it will snow
I'm in a ghost town
Don't you know?
Two clowns
At the front of the room
They are a circle
Don't you know?
Maybe it rained
Maybe it will snow
I'm in a ghost town
Don't you know?
I'm in a ghost town
Yeah, yeah
Nothin to do but just walk around
I saw a cowboy
He said goodbye
I am a locksmith
It's time to die!

President Coolidge
03:40

|

I sat in a bathtub
With a woman of ninety-three
She said do you have a cold
I said Mary
Don't tell me if it rains tomorrow
Tell me if it rains today
Hello my name is Senator Tom
Right next to me is my best friend
His name is Senator Greg
We've come to show you
Our latest discovery
We found a way
We found a way
We found a way
To bring you all back home
I said Mary
That's a mighty fine hat you got on
Where could I find myself
A hat such as that?
She said sorry kid
This hat was a gift from President Coolidge
In 1925
And I said Mary
That can't be true
Cause Calvin Coolidge was president
In 1842
She said you caught me in a lie
This hat was a gift from my father
He was the president to me
