Coastal Living Fivel
Instrumental
Delving Fivel
We was delving, pearched on the highest peak of that state/ It felt great to be alive, so I asked her for a date, in hope she would oblidge/ Accepted with a smile, I offered up a time and a place/ Uno, dos, tres/ And proceeded to roll and stroll through the town of nap/ Countless stumbled to the number four/ Confused he think and he think some more/ Platio's padlock, what did he say?/ Woke up in a dream, a dream today/ Platios Padlock, stuck in my mind/ A totumpole of sound, and a tapestry of kind//
Flowers From Algeron Fivel
Flowers from algeron, Charlie got dissed/ yo, you've been dismissed/ and relinquished//
Knee-Bend Boogie Fivel
I'll rest when i'm dead/ In a bed that lay six feet under/ Never wonder to see/ Always be the one...Knee-Bend Boogie//
Lazy Lobster Loop Fivel
The door is ajar/ To the car, please someone close it/ Then it's off to the bar/ We gonna get our swerve on/ Drinks on the house/ Like a mouse on a shoe-string budget/ The speakers are so clear/ It shatters my glass and spills the beer//
Mullet on my Mind Fivel
Work in progress.
Popcorn Tavern Fivel
Down in cows bogg, they don't tell you what to say/ Cause that kind of shit happens everyday/ They don't tell you what to think/ We're going to Chi-Town, and have a drink(3x)/ Cows Bogg/ London Fog(4x)/ Enter dune acres, this place got a defect/ I'm guessing it's due to the lake effect/ Well cows bogg is a place to be seen/ Back up to Chi-Town, the popcorn tavern scene(3x)/ Cows Bogg/ London Fog(4x)//
Professor Rumble Fivel/Wilks
Professor Rumble, can I ask you a question?/ You behold the awnsers in the palm of your posession/ I've seeked insight from your spiritual meditation/ We're all in this together, no need for a destination/ Rumble, Rumble, Rumble(3x)/ You make me feel so....high//
Sippin Suds Fivel/Cass
Instrumental
Skunks Tale Fivel/Wilks
Spiritual beings as feelings collide/ Wake of the Tide/ Skunk survived/ But the forest swallowed him whole/ Half now he's one with nature and one with the soil/ Skunks Tail, Skunks Tale(2x)/ Abrupt unknowing he frolics with ease/ Clinging and searching to the banyan trees/ Releasing an odor only one detest/ He smiles in awe of his mighty zest/ Skunks Tail, Skunks Tale(2x)/ Skunks tale got lost in the woods/ Along with the maybe's and forgotten coulds/ Skunks tale found on the shore/ Afloat, afloat on the ocean floor/ Skunks Tail, Skunks Tale(2x)/ Skunks tale only to be sought/ A final word or so he thought/ Skunks tale a dream in it's own/ The backdrop to his life was this very same tone//
Steamboat Captain Fivel
This is the story of a Steamboat and a Captain Jed/ Sailing across the seas, afloat they weren't dead/ Poetry and knowledge their minds were fed/ Rigormortis sets in, and heres what it said/ Toke a little dank nug/ Smoke a little kind/ Feel a little irie/ To ease your mind//
Tech-Neek Fivel/ Isiah J/ ALF
Are you a man or a ghost?/ Your certainly a host who serves up the cold pig schwill/ Well I wouldn't mind saying, if I didn't mind saying, i'm telling you for the last time//
