Poor Taste in Footwear

You should never wear suede shoes in the winter
The salt gets on 'em and it eats 'em from the outside
And then after a while it'll start to dig craters
With salty jackhammers
And then sooner or later
You'll be wearin' silly shoes
And nobody'll wanna be your friend
They won't be your friend, my friend, oh no
'Cause you got silly shoes on
It's strike number one, but you're out
'Cause I don't tolerate poor taste in footwear, sir
Said you should never wear suede shoes in the winter
The salt gets on 'em and it eats 'em from the outside
And then after a while it'll start to dig craters
With salty jackhammers
And then sooner or later
You'll be wearin' silly shoes
And nobody'll wanna be your friend
I said no - they won't be your friend, my friend, oh no
'Cause you got silly shoes on
It's strike number one, but you're out
'Cause I don't tolerate poor taste in footwear, sir

Extree! Extree! Read all about it:
Carbon emissions have the tundra meltin'
Extree! Extree! Read all about it:
They say summer is coming soon
There's evergreens growin' out of the ice caps
And glaciers now cruisin' at the speed of molasses
Snow cone salesmen migratin' upward
And the Inuits are diggin' holes
The skylight's leaking on the roof of Antarctica
So penguin suits are now equipped with galoshes
Ivory, my lover, she don't show her face no more
She's too trampled and dirty you see
So Extree! Extree! Read all about it:
Carbon emissions have the tundra meltin'
Extree! Extree! Read all about it:
They say summer is coming soon
Santa's pissed 'cause his elves are all picketing
For humane workplaces with air conditioning
Kids are sawin' sleeves off of their Christmas sweaters
Singing "Let it snow! Hey! Where's the fucking snow?!"
So Extree! Extree! Read all about it:
Carbon emissions have the tundra meltin'
Extree! Extree! Read all about it:
They say summer is coming soon
Extree! Extree! Read all about it:
Sunlight's stinging and cancer cells are multiplying
Extree! Extree! Read all about it:
Your mother's a big baboon
So Extree! Extree! Read all about it:
Carbon emissions have the tundra meltin'
Extree! Extree! Read all about it:
They say summer is coming soon
They say summer is coming soon
They say summer is coming
Summer is coming soon

Sea Bass of My Eye

By the seaside there's a girl who sings like sand
"La la la"
When she speaks, she exhales cold fronts through my hair
"La la la"
We made plans to go for coffee after work
"La la la"
But then a pelican, he scooped up the sea bass of my eye
"La la la"
Throw the captain overboard, there's mutiny in the wind
"La la la"
Kid, keep twistin' those rudders, yeah, the tide's changin'
"La la la"
By the seaside there's a girl who sings like sand
"La la la"
When she moves her scales get slick and she slips between my hands
"La la la"

There's an ice pick tappin' on a tin roof, baby
There's a woman with a gun in the air
And she's askin' for the time now, baby
Through the chorus of streetlights
"Man," said, "I've been twistin' arms for so many years
"And they've been talk-talk-talkin' about
The hand of Christ intervening
But I swear up until now I ain't seen it"
And so that pauper gasped, said
"Oh my, my-my-my-my, my god
I have a history of burying lovers"
And as my heartbeat snapped
I started falling to submission
So I jumped up and screamed
And I flattened like a fish
They've been talk-talk-talkin' about
The hand of Christ intervening
But I swear up until now I ain't seen nothin'
And so I made a career
Of smearing tar and throwing feathers
And distilling antivenom
From the words in love letters
It's versatile, my friend
'Cause I've been painting seven faces
I can glue on a stick
To keep me covered just in case
Been talk-talk-talkin' about
The hand of Christ intervening
But I swear up until now I ain't seen it
