The first listener to spot the hidden (uncredited) lyric quote gets an imaginary cookie!
I'm one with the flock debutante
Seeing what's possible and seeing what can't
Rise to the fore and the precious look too
At what you are wearing and shapes that you threw
I'm one of the pack carnivore
Meat to my grist blood on the floor
Kicks in the head for the few that survive
Stab if they're breathing and shoot if alive
And an animal lives down deep in my heart
Growling and purring and rending apart
I'm one of the herd follower
Listening to leaders yet feeling unsure
Heeding the guidance of churchmen all true
Saying do what I say and not what I do
I'm one of the litter innocent
Country comes first unless you dissent
And those that would do that are traitors and scum
I battle for freedom with a bible and a gun
And that animal living down deep in my heart
Tells me I'm not solid but only a part
Of a plan that was made long before I was formed
Of an evil of which we were all fully warned
I'm one soul alone singleton
In my dusty basement all on my own
Fighting for justice without a friend
'till they come to get me
And the animal living down deep in my heart
Gets torn from my spirit and we live apart
While I listen to news reports good after bad
And forget the animal that once I had
And he forgets me
I'm one with the flock debutante
Seeing what's possible and seeing what can't
Rise to the fore and the precious look too
At what you are wearing and the shape that you threw

No Disguises
No disguises
No disguises for me
I think we're all out of those
No disguises
Ohne incognito
Ohne incognito so low
No disguises for me
No disguises oh no we're out of those
No disguises for me
Ohne incognito so low

Fat Birds Don't Fly
The doctor hmmm'd at me and asked
Me to describe my life to her in 6 words
I laughed at her for two seconds and then said
'That is so poetic and yet it's utterly useless'
And if you want me to tell you how I feel
Well I'll start with you
I'll start with you
Cause I am pretty sure that you spawned a hostage
And by the looks of you you're not off any better
And have you ever tipped fifty cents
To a vending machine that's not defective?
Say would you like me to draw you a tree?
Well I'll start right away
I'll start right away
I borrowed a tune from Syd
I strummed my guitar really loud so she can't hear me sing
And my sighs are scrutinized
Cause so it happens to be that fat birds can't fly
And my sighs are scrutinized
Cause so it happens to be that fat birds can't fly
And I borrowed a page from a leopard's cage
And it read 'I rest my case'
I rest my case

In the Toilet
I don't live in a toilet
I live in your world
Sometimes you're vile
And sometimes I eat
Sometimes I live
And sometimes you kill
You can call me a fly
I can call you the spider
Or I can call you the fly
If I really wanted to
I can call you anything
And you can call me what you'd like
You can call you anything
And I can call you anything
I can call you the thing
I can call you anything I like

Alice
Alice I think you knew
You weren't a dragon or anything
Quite so spectacular
Splendid
Now we need not do anything
With all those expectations we left behind
And the sand in the sea (yeah!)
Ages spent trying to be
Alice I think you knew all along
What would happen upon this loss
You replaced it
Alice it'd be such a shame
To reinvent your name
And then replace it
When you're in the sea
You don't swim You fly
And the sand in the sea
Ages spent trying to be
Alice
Alice now it's time to go
To the next show
And if you know where to go

Lullaby on the Wing
Tonight as I fly I feel so lightheaded
I could head to the sky all night
Now listen if you will as I sing
This lullaby on the wing
It's all right baby it's all
Sparrow hawk owl birds of wingfeathers
And daughters of all things
Now listen if you will as I sing
This lullaby on the wing
It's all right baby it's all
Cause it's all and all
And if it's too frightful
And the air around becomes fragile
My last breath clings to the wind
Listen if you will as I sing
This lullaby on the wing
Now listen if you will as I sing
This lullaby on the wing
Now listen if you will as I sing
This lullaby on the wing
Listen if you will as I sing
This lullaby on the wing
