Living Life Underground

It’s easy to get down in the basement.
You’re underground, you’re already half there.
And sometimes, yes, even I
Feel a tear well in my eye.
But there’s a song in all the
hearts of those with ginger hair.
They are soothing sounds
Flapping wings and squawking beaks
And we belong down here
‘Cause we’re humble, fair, and meek
With our hair the hue of carrots
Got a question? Ask the parrots!
If you want a badge of merit
Fix the radon leak!
Hang from the rafters,
Sit on the floor,
Pick up some feathers,
Claw at the door.
Buddy, we got no worries, problems,
or bores, living life underground.
It’s a busy life
With my clock, cooking steaks.
Since my husband drowned
I have never had a break.
Our walls are pretty avian,
Our dwelling subterranean,
Don’t even think of waking him
A big mistake.
Face it (face it) we cookin' parrots in the basement (birds)
Sweatshop full of gingers in this basement
I'm getting (work) gingerbread (money)
Vodka in my ginger ale (power)
Redheaded sluts I ain't even tryin' to nail (bitches)
Hang from the rafters,
Sit on the floor,
Pick up some feathers,
Claw at the door.
Buddy we got no worries, problems,
or bores, living life underground!

Her husband was a sailing man,
Alas a lover first.
And lo, his landlocked lady
She alone could quench his thirst.
He scoured every ocean’s nook
To pay her for his leave.
The trinkets of his travels
Were the gifts she would receive.
Madame, oh Madame,
We understand your woe.
Your husband drowned,
His booty floundered
Down to Davy Jones.
His parrots and his crew
Were merry as they sailed,
And in his worldly treasure hunt
For Madame he prevailed.
But poor young Madame longed to see
Not trifles gold or stone,
But the rarest treasure of them all
A sailor safe at home.
Madame, oh Madame,
We understand your grief.
Your husband plunged,
His soul expunged
Deep down within the reef.
His ship did strain a plenty
Under moon and cargo full,
The weight did cause a crack to form
And water filled the hole.
“Good sir!” cried out the First Mate,
“Inform the Spanish Fleet!
Our burdens are too heavy
And they pull us to the deep!”
“Those burdens that you speak of,
They represent my pride.
And curse them!
They have kept me
From lovely Madame’s side.”
A message did he whisper
In nearest parrot’s ear,
“Don’t miss me, Madame,”
Gently spoken, fighting back the tears.
His farewell and grandfather clock
Were lifted in the air,
While down he drowned, ah-longing for
His lass with ginger hair.
Madame, oh Madame,
Upon this full moon’s night,
He sails no more,
His story soars up,
Parrot-like in flight.

On the first day of Christmas, Madame Trinkett gave to me
A ginger orphan named Coopy.
It's Cooper.
On the second day of Christmas, Madame Trinkett gave to me
Two parrot birds,
And a ginger orphan named Coopy.
It's Cooper.
On the third day of Christmas, Madame Trinkett gave to me
Three parrots,
Two parrot birds,
And a ginger orphan named Coopy.
That isn't my name.
On the fourth day of Christmas, Madame Trinkett gave to me
Four other parrots,
Three parrots,
Two parrot birds,
And a ginger orphan named Coopy.
I hate you.
On the fifth day of Christmas, Madame Trinkett gave to me
Five parrot kings --
Stop! Just stop! Ah!
Is the rest of the song about parrots?
On the twelfth day of Christmas, Madame Trinkett gave to me
Twelve parrots talkin',
Eleven parrots walkin',
Ten parrots squawkin',
Nine parrots peckin',
Eight parrots flappin',
Seven parrots nappin',
Six parrots starin' --
Shut up! Uh -- shut up!
NO INTERRUPTIONS.
Five parrot kings,
Four other parrots,
Three parrots,
Two parrot birds,
And a ginger orphan named Coopy.

Dying Alone
03:00
|

|
There are so many places for dying alone,
Like a car or outside in the woods.
Under a staircase or in your apartment,
Doesn't that homebrew taste good?
Won't you stay with me
In the dark?
Stay with me,
Don't ever stop.
There are so many people you don't need to bother
When you are dying alone.
Loved ones and enemies, passing acquaintances,
strangers whom you've never known.
Won't you stay with me
In the dark?
Stay with me
Don't ever stop.
This is the prayer of those dying alone,
The most terrible fate that I know.
Grasping for hands that abandoned you
Just as your body abandons your soul.
Your soul dies alone.
Your soul dies alone.
My son, there is one
Who never could leave me
He goes by the name Father Time.
He's the reason for restlessness,
Dreams unfulfilled,
And the bags under each wrinkled eye.
I can't stay with you
In the dark.
Stay with you,
I must depart.
One bit of freedom to dying alone
It's the fate that I know that I own.
