All Hail The Sklarktopus
02:39
|
|||
All hail the sklarktopus
Protect us from the flashing claws
Of the palin-drone
We interroclef beseech thee
Humbly from our mortal home
Hail thee tentacled one
Consume this virgin flesh and
Flood us with your holy light
Vanquish our enemies with
Your scaled and rubb'ry might
Hail thee Sklarktopus
Great and mighty conjured from the
Depths of thy dark rift
Breathe in the dying blood of
Our sacrificial gift
All hail the Sklarktopus
Amen
Lyrics: Zak Hannan

Octopus' Heart
03:46
|
|||
what's that sound that i hear
dim the lights and perk my ear
something slithers across the floor
dark presence from far offshore
oh my god it is so ugly
and it wants me in its tummy
dirty tentacles come for me
writhing, glistening and porny
angry eyeball on a stock looks
at me like a hungry hawk does
something stops it as it's nearer
it sees itself in the mirror
is it a man?
is it a shark?
is it an octopus' heart?
now i see the gears start to turn
there's something inside that secretly yearns
a gentle heart wants only to be
eating shellfish deep in the sea
maybe he can find the savior
to his violent behavior
something to cure his diseases
superman-fish octojesus
sklarktopus forgives trespasses
even for he who harasses
like the sacred gentle sea cow
evil can be used for good now
is it a man?
is it a shark?
is it an octopus' heart?
the eyeball stalk now winks right at me
as he shambles back to his home in the sea
octopus heart leaves through the bathroom door
but leaves a big poop right on my floor
is it a man?
is it a shark?
is it an octopus' heart?

Number One Supersong
(lyrics by Zak Hannan and Steven Clark)
There once was a song number one
That long ago should have been done
But that group of slackers
Those flaky stonetrackers
Have ruined Zak's bass-slapping fun
There once was a Hannan named Zak
Whose humor was notably black
He rhymed like a dick
In the form of lim'rick
But the wine left him flat on his back
There once was a limerick that suckled
Zak drank too much wine and got fuckled
His mind a bit hazy
His diction got lazy
It's awkward 'cause nobody chuckled
Tis true, I have exacting standards for a rhyme
But Zak, you have outdone yourself this time
If lim'ricks were the purpose of this gang
You'd easily win first prize without a pang
There once was a gang about rhyme
They swapped poems all of the time
But one was a dick
Had a technical schtick
Now the best course of action's to mime
But Zak I'd like to change the game's parameter
For I prefer to rhyme in iambic pentameter
Though you may think I'm being just a dick
A limerick's better suited to a hick
Now Sklark's is the only green square
I wonder if Sklarky's aware?
We all took our hacks
And made stacks of new tracks
But the octopus just doesn't care

Beetle Bones
03:02
|

trotting on the playa
nothing seems familiar
how'd he end up out here all alone?
silently he steps on
sniffing for the clues
wondering if he could die alone
plodding on a treadmill
scanning for the answers
hint of a direction back to home
slumped determination
scraping on the granite
soon he'll sate the desert with his bones
searching through the blistered sand
so familiar
reach out for a grain of hope
slips right through the cloven hoof
rotting on the playa
shuffling familiar
beetles come to clean his tired bones
fading in the sunlight
bleached against the pavement
resting in the comfort of his home

Never Always Comes Too Late
Late one night a vision came
Those who feed interro flame
You cannot redeem your soul
'Til you pay the Palin Drone
I cannot believe my ears
This, one of my deepest fears
Cross the line and slay your fate
Never always comes too late
I cannot believe my eyes
Sklarktopus's massive size
Unto me bestow this goal
I must slay the Palin Drone
Lyrics by John "Bunny" Knudson

Want For The Light
03:26
|
|||
"With no recollection of who he was, nor whisper
Of direction, the little one found himself on the
Floor of a new forest."
Softly dripping
Damp organic embrace
Earthy rotting
Wrapping around this writhing place
Digging circles
Through the humus
Navigating
I just want to . . .
Lie down
Still searching for
A quiet place
Where I can rest
These tired bones tonight
I'm so frustrated and alone
Endlessly stumbling
Impossibly tangled
And shaking in the cold
I just want to . . .
Fly now
Quietly panning
Speechlessly scanning the scene
A bird singing backwards
Tells me of something
I desperately need to see
"A pink rabbit waltzed in reverse, whistling an
Arrogant alien verse. Like he claimed the whole
World. Like he called all the shots, while five
Suns sent five shadows sliding through wilted and
Watery stalks."
I dont want to
Die now
Never felt so elated
Up in this secret space
I know from so long before
Such a distant perspective
Never felt so connected
And all alone
Yeah I finally made it
Up in this secret place
I know from long before
I can see it
Through the veil
Of circumstances
I can see the light
