On thin ice with you, well you’re on thin ice with me I wanna cry, I wanna moan but you won’t listen to me If you’re gonna blow I wanna watch but I ain’t gonna clean up We cause a scene and make believe there’s not a problem with love Now it’s spreading like a spiderweb Lose your footing and it could be the end Venture forward or go back, result is always the same Scream at each other ‘til we’re all about to pop a neck vein Is there a reason to this rhyme about a tragic mistake? Or will we have to swim our way out of this frozen lake? The cracks are getting bigger with each footfall And I’ve got this sinking feeling we’re not far off So grab your partner, punch each other out I gotta pay-per-view to watch you drown ‘Cause it’s gonna break! It’s getting thinner

The crew’s on the shuttle, there’s nothing to do We’re miles from home and we all hate the food We’re getting desperate, but Neil brought a bag Wait! Don’t light that up Reasons you can’t get high in space Reasons you can’t get high in space Well you’ll use up all the oxygen and that’s no joke Because without any oxygen everybody chokes And they’ll bring us back in body bags when the ship lands If it even lands Can a ship with dead astronauts do that? Reasons you can’t get high in space Reasons you can’t get high in space Well, there’s really only one reason why and that’s because you’ll die

Pac-Man is on the run Yes, Pac-Man is on the run There’s a ghost loose in this maze And he’s going to eat him right up So this Pac-Man is on the run His yellow flapping jaws may look quite strange Gobbling up pellets like spare change But you’ll be thankful for this yellow rotund friend When he powers up, the ghosts will meet their end Because Pac-Man is on the run Yes, Pac-Man is on the run There’s a ghost loose in this maze And you know he’s not alone So this Pac-Man is on the run He runs around despite having no feet His body and his head are not discrete But you’ll be thankful when he finds the way out of this maze May his appetite never be sated Pac-Man is on the run Yes, Pac-Man is on the run There’s a ghost loose in this maze And you know he’s not alone So this Pac-Man is on the run Yes, Pac-Man is on the run Oh, Pac-Man is on the run There are no more ghosts in this maze Pac-Man gobbled them up And now Pac-Man is on the run

Can’t get his stink out Stale cigarettes, nachos and day-old cheese Rotting brie And anything you say or do He’s gotta butt in with a well-I-think-you-shoulda shouldn’t Woulda could not I don’t mind Gary It’s that dumbass pal of his named Saul Thinks he’s a man of sophistication But he’s really just a goddamn troll I’m still friends with Gary But Saul’s making it harder every day Think I gotta tell him, man-to-man Gary’s pal Saul sucks He’s gotta get a clue He creeps in like methane The hearty smell of a cow field at a quarter to three Mixed in with pee That’s if he’s not jawing Spewing forth about his favorite worm to eat with his tea Somebody save me I don’t mind Gary It’s that dumbass pal of his named Saul Thinks he’s God’s gift to women As they kick him in his testicles I’m still friends with Gary But I can’t keep doing this all year Saul better just be passing through Gary’s pal Saul sucks He makes me wanna puke You can’t get his stink out

GIRL ASHLEY: There’s a beat played in time There’s a meter, now there’s rhyme I am singing the melody If you join in, there’s harmony I have no history inside this place I just arrived here … BUT anyway, I’d never felt this inside of me Until I heard you in harmony I wanna be up on the stage I wanna sing with you today I feel the beat control My heart, my soul I wanna be in the band I thought I loved you, sorry Bobby I loved the music growing in me Now I can’t hide it, I want to shout I’ll pound these drum things and sing it out I wanna be up on the stage I wanna sing with you today I feel the beat control My heart, my soul I wanna be in the band I’ll play these drums with you TUCK: I have no rhythm, don’t really rhyme I write about music, I don’t do … it But I can do this, just let me try Didn’t I tell you, about my -- (ad lib) (yeah, it was a cool story bro, Gregg Allman, whatever …) GIRL ASHLEY and TUCK: I wanna be up on the stage I wanna sing with you today I feel the beat control My heart, my soul I wanna be in the band I’ll play these songs with you We’ll play these songs with you

I used to know the names of all the chemicals dissolved in the ocean It used to be enough for me, refracting light from a sunset in motion I used to count the stars at night, but wishing seemed so far from my station Fear and loathing brought me here, but destiny is mine for the taking And now that I am here Suddenly there’s all this time But too much living left to try It’s overwhelming me All these colors in my mind I can finally see the sky I used to march in step with those who claimed to know without really knowing I never questioned where I was but somehow, deep inside it was growing I used to count on fingers all the times I would feel like something was missing Now with nothing to snap me back, I run until another force stops me And now that we’re here Suddenly there’s no more time And only just enough to lie It’s overwhelming me Knowing how my world could be Will I finally reach the sky? Seattle skies …

You can’t have it, no no no The recipe my dear old dad Whispered to me long ago In a galaxy far away No no no No Dark Side brownies for you I may be the greatest Jedi I poked the Emperor in the eye He tried to turn me to his dark plot But I remained in light, with one caveat Oh oh oh Those Dark Side brownies are too good And the secret ingredient is -- NOOOOOO! You can’t have my Dark Side brownies, no no no nooooooo no

Frogtastic Frogtastic Frogtastic I was walking along one foggy night When I came across a funny little surprise It was a frog hopping along on the street He looked up at me and he did so greet me He said, I’m a frog — Frogtastic I’m a frog — Frogtastic I’m a frog — Frogtastic I’m a frog, so don’t step on me, please I’m a frog, so don’t step on me, please I’m a frog, so don’t step on me, please I’m a frog, so don’t step on me Well of course I didn’t step on the frog, that’d just be mean I’ve already seen him there, so I can’t use that as an excuse I don’t want to kill the frog, man I don’t want to kill the frog Frogtastic Frogtastic Frogtastic Frogtastic Frogtastic Frogtastic

What’s it to you? The things that I do The disdain I see Don’t mean much to me So why don’t you make like a tree And get the hell away from me? Take your lying and your fear And get the punk out of here! Maybe it’s not clear No one wants you here Go slip on some ice And poke out your stink eye So why don’t you make like a leaf Blow away, gimme some relief Take your ugly fantasies Rocket off to Mercury Why don’t you make like a tree And get the hell away from me? Take your lying and your fear And get the punk out of here!
