Tell the story of a girl named Monday came out her momma wearing high heel shoes hailed a cab and went her merry way she owned the room like a grand piano she worked a party like a pogo stick she took a drag and blew the boys away at age eight her dad got her a pony she didn't need she had a red corvette she had men who were giving her money for work she ain't even done yet fell in love with a girl named monday she was everything i'd never have i was told there never was a date every day was always wednesday it went on like for several years i chewed the bones that fell down from her plate one wednesday she leaned into tell me i could smell the wine all on her breath her eyes kept shooting me daggers thought i might catch my death fell asleep on a girl named monday tried to make it but she kissed all wrong there really ain't that much to say nobody ever tamed ole' monday she had some husbands and they pay her bills that bird has up and blown away one wednesday she leaned into tell me i could smell the blood all on her breath her eyes kept shooting me daggers thought i might catch my death

Carry-on Bag 04:36
Minivan in the fastlane can't seem to get around just one more obstacle on my way out of this town Radio has been scanning since I got out of bed just a shifty companion for the noise inside my head I'm carrying everything everything I own in a carry-on bag I'll slip in through the back door find a clique and a pen Note the person they're missing and buy some clothes for him Let's say I have an opinion Let's say I love Mountain Dew unless you're checking my luggage it's of no consequence to you I'm carrying everything everything I own in a carry-on bag Her eyes were a color that I had never seen fell in love like an idiot and slowly let her in Then the act got confusing she was bound to catch on Caught me down in the basement with a Steelers jacket on I'm carrying everything everything I own in a carry-on bag

BFD 02:57
I can smell bacon In the living room Or the den She calls it that There’s nothing like There’s nothing like There’s nothing like Breakfast for dinner Sweet as pancake Syrup she is The butter That tops it all There’s nothing like… Breakfast for dinner And how can I explain myself? My love I can’t explain myself When she calls me And says come on I’ll be running to the kitchen To go and get me some With empty plates And stomachs full And closing eyes We both agree There’s nothing like… Breakfast for dinner

Good TV 03:50
There were cameras in the mirrors in the floor and in the cake We knew from the start this was all a mistake But the hottub looked good and our love seemed strong So we moved into their house and we sang along We sang La da da dot da La da da dot da da da La da da dot da Bring it on. By episode two the cast already had the blues Everything seems more important when you put it on the news But we made friends with all the camera men And we faked a smile that knew no end Singing La da da dot da La da da dot da da da La da da dot da Bring it on. We know what’s good TV We know we know We know what’s good tv You gotta put on a show The cameras kept rolling and so did the show As we poured the gasoline all over the floor While it all went up into a bright orange sea I could see the director behind it, and he was smiling at me Singing La da da dot da La da da dot da da da La da da dot da Bring it on. There was a house on a lake, a gazebo too A poodle name Terence, a pussy named Sue A tired tree, that same old routine And two struggling actors on channel 13 Singing La da da dot da La da da dot da da da La da da dot da Bring it on. We know what’s good TV We know we know We know what’s good TV You gotta put on a show

This is a living, breathing album. It will progress and grow old; and, when I am done with it, it will die.
