Hole In My Skull

I’ve been searching online all night
Trying to find somebody that’s right
Someone who might wanna fight for me
I’ve got nothing to offer you
But a mediocre body in worn red shoes
And a voice that’s rough and sometimes nasally
I spend so much time moping on my own
Wishing I could feel much less alone
But the problem’s me and I just can’t hone
Proper etiquette to take you home
My mouth’s sewn shut ‘cause my brain is full
Of words that I can’t seem to babble
And I need another ex-girlfriend
Like I need a hole in my skull
Well I never really liked being by myself
Just me and a dresser and a record shelf
And a tape deck that doesn’t work so well anymore
I’ve got nothing to write home about
But crooked grin in a dried up mouth
And an empty wallet when I walk out the door
I spend so much time moping on my own
Wishing I could feel much less alone
But the problem’s me and I just can’t hone
Proper etiquette to take you home
Got a chord progression that I stole
From a Bob Mould record or a Costello
But I know I’ll never impress you
Till I get a hole in my skull
I will be faithful to you
And I will always tell you the truth
You look great in that dress
But baby girl my head’s a mess
I spend so much time moping on my own
Wishing I could feel much less alone
But the problem’s me and I just can’t hone
Proper etiquette to take you home
And the words engraved in my tombstone
Will just reflect the way I moaned
About how every ex-girlfriend
Cost me a hole in my skull

Fight, Kitty! Fight!!

Kitty gotta run from a raccoon
Kitty gotta run now fast
Kitty gotta hide in the full moon
Kitty just gotta get past
Kitty gotta stick out this one
Kitty gotta make it through
Kitty gotta stand up and be strong
Kitty knows what to do
Take a step outside and hear it wail and moan and
Fight hard for its life, just leave the window open
Just can’t close my eyes and ears, I keep on hoping
That the little guy is gonna make it out alive
Kitty run along on the front yard
Kitty hide in the bushes across the street
Kitty gonna fight back and fight hard
Kitty will win and won’t accept defeat
Kitty makes a break for the big tree
Kitty got one more chance to take the crown
Kitty gotta for his family
Kitty is gonna take that raccoon down
Take a step outside and hear it wail and moan and
Fight hard for its life, just leave the window open
Just can’t close my eyes and ears, I keep on hoping
That the little guy is gonna make it out alive
Kitty couldn’t run from a raccoon
Kitty didn’t run too fast
Kitty couldn’t hide in the full moon
Kitty’s now gone and passed
But kitty was damn good fighter
Kitty fought with everything he had
And though kitty didn’t come out the wiser
Kitty still fought like one damn ruthless cat
Oh I’ll remember little kitty and the way he did persist
And how the raccoons in my city are vicious little shits
