Tightening Your Grip on Me
(written by Serene Dominic and Weston Geiger)
(Spoken) Hi, I'm Wes of Wes and the Westdales,
We're from West Sunnyslope AZ where we like things are loose, but things are about to get tight. HuuuuY!!
Coil around like an anaconda
That slithered out of the murky sea
Like the tug of a tiny condom
You're tightening your grip on me
(Spoken) I can't imagine how this happened
It's much too much
Like a strap hanger on a bullet train
You won't release me from your clutch
Like a timing belt round a pulley
I can run but I can't get free
Tighter than Archie Bell & the Drells
You're tightening your grip on me
And you can't be stopped
No you can't be stopped!
Until you squeeze all the love
From the bottom to top
And you can't be stopped
No you can't be stopped!
Like a wringer to a thirsty mop
(Spoken) My name is Reynold and I'm the soft spoken member of the group. I enjoy long walks on the beach and six forms of cuddling
Tighter than Titanium Man's tights
Slight budget in a bad economy
Tighter than narrow shoes on a bunion
You're tightening your grip on me
And you can't be stopped
No you can't be stopped!
Until you run all the lights
And your chassis drops
And you won't be stopped
No you can't be stopped!
Till you bald all the tires
And your rims turn to sparks
(Spoken) Hi, this is Wes of Wes and the Westdales again, here to tell you that Chipotle makes the tightest burritos this side of Dunlap!!!
Tighter than a Parisian facelift
On a starlet who's 73
Tighter than suspenders on a Buddha
You're tightening your grip on me
Tighter than a junkies syringe
Or an astronauts inseam
Like a rodeo goat tying
You're tightening your grip on me
And you can't be stopped
No you can't be stopped!
Until you squeeze all the love
From the bottom to top
And you can't be stopped
No you can't be stopped!

General Time Horizon
Written by Serene Dominic
I'm tired of waking to a list of symptoms
The broken record of a broken victim
That just sits and stares
Over missed affairs
I wanna be where the good times run together
Like that cake in the rain
That no one could explain
I'm pencilin' in everything
On the General Time Horizon
I'm scheduling hopes and dreams
On the General time Horizon
I could have fun in my life
If I could find love
If I could find love
I'm tired of living with this split decision
A compromise that my heart just ain't in
It's so hard to breathe under this funeral wreath
I wanna be where the good times run together
Like that cake in the rain
That no one could explain

The Last Man on Earth (Written by Serene Dominic & Fen Ikner)
(spoken) I shall find him on the beaches
I shall find him on the landing grounds
I shall find him in the fields ..and in the streets
I shall find him in the hills
And then I will surrender
He is the last man on earth
And the first man on earth to get everything right
That fateful night
I thought the world was coming to an end
No one trusted the word of a friend
That's when he stayed
Some might say he's a saber-toothed liar
But they're just preaching to the tabernacle choir
One kiss put the fear of God in me
And I believe
It's because of his love offering from a gun
That life as we know it goes on
Till the new world we'll see
He is the last man on earth I will love
Like a stud missile sent from above
He's heading towards me
When I'm caught in his loving embrace
I'll die happy and with his kiss on my face
And although there was no time for goodbyes
He'll be the last man on earth in my eyes
In my eyes

WORKING MAN
Written by Serene Dominic
I am a working man. I don’t make a lot of money
But what I have on hand is yours
Because I love you I’d give anything to you
All of my time except for the nine hours I give to the man
I can take what they give me as long as you’re with me
With you I’ve got something Without you I’m nothing
Working for nothing, I’m working for nothing
If not for your love
You are a working girl, recently unemployed
You’ve so much go offer you’ll find work, work on no time
Whenever I see you, I know I don’t have to worry
Things will get better sometime, sometime after five
I can take what they give me as long as you’re with me
With you I’ve got something Without you I’m nothing
Working for nothing, I’m working for nothing
If not for your love
I am a working man. Don’t take much to make me happy
Just coming home to you with a fine bottle of wine
Because I love you I’d give anything to you
All of my time except for the nine hours I slave for the man

Ancient Magic
written By Dan Tripp
Long time ago, before we came here, ancient kings was hanging out
Conjuring things in hidden caves that smell like magic
So long ago, waiting for signs in the southern skies at night
We had a good time interpreting dreams
Coz everyone's king and love is light
But I can't help wondering how I'm gonna quit my day job
Turn the light on! This is getting out of our hands!
Turn the light on! This is getting out of our hands!
So are we right and can we change our ordinary lives, we're finding out
We'll live like kings in ancient caves that smell like magic
What do we know of the ways of magic?
What business have we in the ways of magic?
Turn the light on! This is getting out of our hands!
Turn the light on! This is getting out of our hands!

I Am The Perpetrator
Written by Serene Dominic
I am where I am because of what I've done
There's no one here to blame cause
I am the only one
Don't tell me I'm the perpetrator
Of all that's making me unhappy
Because I am the perpetrator
Of all that's making me unhappy
I can't blame the deserters
For leaving me in the lurch
I've got abandonment issues
That's why I don't go to church
Don't tell me I'm the perpetrator
Of all that's making me unhappy
Because I am the perpetrator
Of all that's making me unhappy
I'm so afraid of failure
I hate the shape of my head
I can't live up to papa
The pressure is immense
Don't tell me I'm the perpetrator
Of all that's making me unhappy
Because I am the perpetrator
Of all that's making me unhappy

You Can Love a Song
(written by Serene Dominic)
There's a notion I had
I could make good times from bad
By the way that I rearranged some notes
But if my words were true
You would let this song in you
And it would tell you all that you need to know
Songs won't make you love someone
But you can love a song
It's a lesson never learned
When that longing returns
I see your face
I try to place you in my life
But if my beats are tight
And the rhythms all fall right
My creation alone could make you mine
Songs won't make you love someone
But you can love a song
I know you have a love
Someone you chose instead
But I still have a chance
If this is playing in your head
Songs won't make you love someone
But you can love a song

I've Known Her To Be That Way
written By Serene Dominic and Ed Masley
The sun it rises and sets on her
Ev-ry day
Creates a halo going up and down either way
And when my mind is clouded by the world
She presides
I get my consolation from this girl
In her eyes
Big brown eyes
I've known her to be that way
I've known her to be that way
Even when I'm stammering blinking
She want to know what I'm thinking
I've known her to be that way
I've known her to be that way
I don't dawdle or I don't tarry
Cause she's an extraordinary girl
I'm not a king nor do I play one
On TV
I'd stay six seasons on a bad sitcom
To lay residuals at her feet
And in those times she's far out of reach
I try prayer
Don't have my eyes on any other prize
Cause there's no winning if she's not there
I've known her to be that way
I've known her to be that way
I'm jealous of the raindrops on her
Every breeze that blows upon her
I've known her to be that way
I've known her to be that way
Your results may vary
Get your own extraordinary girl
Now you may glimpse her walking with another guy
Making love beneath a clear November sky
But should I ask, I know she’d… look me in the eye
And she would lie… with me
Yes, she’d lie… with me
And when I feel I'm near losing her
I try prayer
I wonder could there ever be true love without fear always near
I've known her to be that way
I've known her to be that way
You might say it's complicated
She acts like we've never dated
I've known her to be that way
I've known her to be that way
So what if she's being contrary
I can't lose this extraordinary girl

Priceless is Right
Written by Dominic Salerno & Daniel Pearl
I squint and I see pretty harbor lights when I look in your eyes
I saw your face hold up well on this night
How I wish I could say wealth wasn't treating you right
I can show you. Show you how the other half lives
My situation is at best shaky
Maybe I walk in front of you so
You'll never know you're being followed
So I can't buy you shiny and white
Priceless is right
Priceless is right
I've been here for years
I haven't complained
What's mine is what's mine
I saw your hands were feeling no pain
As they flit and entwine
I can show you. Show you how the other half lives
My proposition is at best shaky
Maybe I walk in front of you so
You'll never know you're being followed
So I can't buy you shiny and white
Priceless is right
Priceless is right
In a jet airplane
Or in a slow moving train
I wish you'd think about me
It's the things you can buy that are so easy to rent
I want my place in the sun but I'll take what I can get
Oh I wax nostalgic at this hour of the night
How I wish I could say wealth wasn't treating you right
Maybe I walk in front of you so
You'll never know you're being followed
So I can't buy you shiny and white
Priceless is right
Priceless is right

What's One More Soul 2 the Devil?
written by Serene Dominic
Ever since I was a young adult
I'm been interested in the occult
The usual voodoo, the black arts and such
I weighed the pros and cons of this bargaIn for months
All it cost was a soul I never had
Having all I ever wanted wasn't so bad
People ask me if I used a broker
They're clawing just to compete on this level
If you're wondering who you have to blow
Aw honey what's one more soul to the devil?
Now that I live like some demigod
I don't care if they believe me or not
All it took was his cold dead hand in mine
We'll talk again at the end of my natural time
All it cost was a soul I never had
Having all I ever wanted wasn't so bad
People ask me if I have an agent
They're scratching just for a seat at the table
If you're asking if I found the loophole
Aw honey what's one more soul to the devil?
I hope you're here for yourselves
You can still repent and ask your Jesus for help
If there's world lust
I've got it in spades
I've never known a god that ever forgave just forbade
Everybody's green with envy
Struggling to get out of the hole
Sure there's safety in numbers
But what's one more soul to the devil?
What's one more soul to the devil?
What's one more soul to the devil?
People wonder when did I get so clever?
I got a name that is living for ever
Living a charmed life
Waiting for that old fool to die

Cream of Corn Man
Song written by Serene Dominic
When I was 10 I saw a ghost
Delivering the New York Post
I held my breath till his door closed
The smell of death stayed in my nose
Off all my ailing customers
I feared his failing health the worst
It stayed with me through all my days
What the Indians called maze
Cream of Corn Man he was a fan
Of the Chairman of the Board
He had every Frank album
In a wire rack by the door
On a bad day he would play "Only The Lonely"
On a good day "It might as well be swing"
When I grew up and grew out of being afraid of cream of corn, man
I made it the secret ingredient
In my chili vegetarian
But it doesn't take a PHD in Harry Chapin irony
To see all of the schadenfreude coming back to me
Now we return you to verse 3 of Cream of Corn man
Now I am old, "older than dirt!"
"Why'd you say that? That really hurt!"
But it's the truth. You think your youth
Would be forever shatterproof
Now Frank is gone, Frank Jr too
And pretty soon my time is due
No teleprompter for a clue
What's on the stove cooks my goose too
I'm cream of corn man and I'm a fan
Of the chairman of the board
I have every Frank album
In a wire rack by the door
On a bad day I will play "Only The Lonely"
On a good day "My Baby Shot Me Down"

Why I Don't Deserve You
written by Serene Dominic
You took me in when I was nobody
And I'd lost everything I had
You only took from me what I could give you
And whatever good you had that's what you shared
You saw in me what I couldn't see in myself
And you built me back up from scratch
And when I was crying over someone else
You loved me with no strings attached
And that is why I don't deserve you
But I'm glad you thought you ought to stay with me
Oh I know I don't deserve you
You're the best that it's ever been for me
You're the best that it's ever been for me
I know I'm guilty of breaking my own heart
But you made every tear of mine your own
You knew just when to be understanding
And when I had to stand alone
When I was drowning in a sea of heartbreak
You were the tide that lifted me
And when the world started to turn my way again
You were ready to set, set me free
And that is why I don't deserve you
But I'm glad you thought you ought to stay with me
Oh I know I don't deserve you
You're the best that it's ever been for me
You're the best that it's ever been for me

Breaking Glass
Song written by David Bowie
Baby, I've been
Breaking glass in your room again
Listen
Don't look at the carpet
I drew something awful on it
See
You're such a wonderful person
But you got problems
Oh-oh-oh-oh
I'll never touch you
