I can see the future, baby,
And I can see you there with me,
In my heart and in my spaceship,
On our way to Planet Z.
Well, in the future there's no more sorrow,
And in the future we'll share one mind.
Yes, everything will be so fine,
Loving in Dimension 9,
Come on, let's warp some time, baby!
Yeah I'm a man with a vision,
And you're such a sight to behold.
So dance with me on Saturn's rings,
I see a portal opening,
At the edge of the future's threshold.

Low and unknown, says "John Doe" on my headstone.
Nobody knows my real name, and you're the only one that there is to blame.
I'm supine, locked, confined, this pine box so dark that I'm blind.
I've got to find a way to get out of this hole, and take back the life you stole.
You had your fun, and I had my funeral (I bet you think you won).
The time has come for comeuppance, so you better run.
A gun won't stop me now.
Cold, muscles froze, rigor mortis from my head to my toes.
Why haven't I turned into a ghost? I hope I don't just decompose.

Pipe Resin Blues

Came home yesterday,
After slavin' for my pay,
Only to find that I'd been used.
I cannot believe,
That woman smoked up all my weed,
And now I've got pipe resin blues.
Ya coulda left somethin',
Butcha left nothin',
Now what am I to do?
I checked in my pockets,
Behind all the sockets,
And up in the chimney flue.
Up in the closet, my safety deposit,
Nothing was safe from you.
Why do I hide it,
If you're gonna find it, too.
No use to defend,
I know you'll just do it again,
And then we'll fight until we bleed.
I'm down on my knees,
Begging please, sweet baby, please,
Next time around, leave some for me.

Who and what and where and why and when?
Baby please just tell me where you've been.
I thought that you'd be home by dawn,
But you passed out on the neighbor's lawn.
Who and what and where and why and when?
Who and what and where and why and when?
I can't believe it's happening again.
I'll tell you why I have my doubts.
Your clothes are one inside-out.
Who and what and where and why and when?
Who and what and where and why and when?
They notified my as your next of kin.
The coroner thought you were dead.
You took enough to kill a thoroughbred.
Who and what and where and why and when?
Who and what and where and why and when?
Who and what and where and why and when?
