State Songs (John Linnell):
Mono Puff (John Flansburgh):
The other day my neighbor has a dented bike.
Second day he called me from intensive care.
Says he needs a picture of the dented bike
For the evidence about a wreck he had.
Accident
Accident
Lift that fork. Eat that snail.
Garcon summoned. Have a new cocktail
Crash my bicycle
Crashed my bicycle
In a big South Carolina wreck,
I crashed my bicyle
And I won some damages and they were punitive
By which I mean the punishment was damaging
It crushed my head
It crushed my head
Garcon, where's my drink?
Wreck!
Observe the front wheel spinning upside-down
Wreck!
The red reflector fragments strewn around
Wreck!
The back wheel's 'O' is now a letter 'D'
Wreck!
I was an 'I' and now I am a 'V'
If I had to do it all again, buy a bicycle
If I had to do it, I would crash my bicycle
I'd crush my head
Collect the bread
Crash my bicycle
Move around folks
Push her back there
Move along
Show's over, folks
Let him breath
Step lively
Fork! Snail!
Garcon! Cocktail!
Oregon is bad
Stop it if you can
Here it comes
Here it comes
Now it's after you
Flee to someplace new
Run away
Run away
From the penthouse to the prison
to the humble piedàterre
Are they taking up the cry?
In the brothel
In the castle
On the crowded boulevard
Do they sing the dreadful words?
Oregon is bad
Stop it if you can
Here it comes
Here it comes
Oregon is bad
Stop it if you can
Run away
Run away

La Pennsylvania
Relaxing on my hands and knees
Relaxing on my face
Reclining in the bear-trap of its tender warm embrace
Glazed with coniferous green
Glazed with excitement and dread
Exhausted from over-sleep
Awake but still in bed
The shaving razor's rusty but the sting brings you exactly back to
Maine! is the world that went south
Maine! is a punch in the mouth
Maine! at the top of the chart
Has crushed my evil heart
Maine! is the devil you know
Maine! is the heaven below
Maine! at the top of the chart
Has crushed my evil heart
I love you anyway
I promise there's no other state
But only if you stay away
And leave me to my ugly state
And give me back my evil heart so I can see you as you are in
Maine! is the world that went south
Maine! is a punch in the mouth
Maine! at the top of the chart
Has crushed my evil heart
Maine! is the poison you love
Maine! is the hell from above
Maine! at the top of the chart
Has crushed my evil heart
Nevada
Nevada
The dream of every girl
Nevada
Nevada
The acorn of the squirrel
Ladies falling from the treetops
Calling out in heaven's name
Parachutes of dresses
Saving every dame
Nevada
Nevada
The dream of every gal
Nevada
Nevada
The helper and the pal

I was wrong
It's an ordinary day
Tryptophan
It began
I was feeling like I am
By the leg of the bird
And the special day observed
I was mad
'Til I found
There was more to go around
Tryptophan
All alone
I was wrong
And there's much more going on
In my vein
In my mind
In my chemistry I'd find
Tryptophan
I'm awake
Like the calm breeze in the air
Like a swan on the lake
I'm not calm. That's my mistake.

Who'll teach me drama?
Who'll be my acting coach?
I love the theater
I'm Dr. Kildare
I hit my head
I hear the phone ring
I was distracted by my friend, Joe
I hit my head
Now I'm left-handed
I lost my sublett to my friend, Joe
I've lost my super-powers
I was invisible
I could just cut myself
Write out my will
I was unsupervised
I had a real good time
Until I hit my head
Back in the day with my friends around me
You could count on me with one hand
When I digress
You'd find me smiling
Could be living underneath the ground
So long, mockingbird
Laughing on the telephone line
So long, mockingbird
Laughing on the telephone line
I can read your mind from half a mile
Peek into your mind, but I won't say
Hello, open field
I'm happy as a scarecrow now
Hello, open field
I'm happy as a scarecrow now
The cars can pass me by, but I don't mind
They can pass me by. I don't mind
So long, mockingbird
I won't miss your mockingbird face
So long, mockingbird
I won't miss your mockingbird face
I hate you so
Far from the crowd
He's the day-watchman
Walk past the trees
He used to swing from
What bothers the spaceman?
The teeth in his head
I'm sure he could smile for us
Wave to the people
Out on the lawn
Mr. Ellis and Mr. Lee
Mr. Lee and me
What bothers the spaceman?
What's left for him now?
I'm sure he could smile for us
Lee lee lee lee lee lee lee lee
Lee lee lee lee lee lee lee lee
Lee lee lee lee lee lee lee
When they look back and weigh everything he's done
They will realize
Nixon's the One
Nixon's the One
Nixon's the One
