Welcome to middle beats music
Welcome to hot rod rhythm
Welcome to four leaf fever
Welcome to crackerbox cul de sac servin up cocktails and domino duets
Mixing up tremolo trips with the salsa
Drumming out dips on the hi-hats and short skirts
And still servin' open bars till it gets dark
We drink reverb for breakfast
And eat our echoes for lunch
Bassline wining and dining down south where the crawdaddy cowbells are crawlin'
Welcome to groove avenue
Welcome to saxophone summer
Welcome to baritone bombfest
Where there will be no more belts or bad haircuts or days at the office
No more tappin' on drywall or scratchin' the sidewalks
Just kick off your shoes and ring out the news of settin off solo again for another
Of settin off solo for another round of

Ain’t no floats or baton twirlin' here, honey
Just the jazz on your back
And your swagger out of check
These cats are too cool for pajamas
Just let them ride the hot rod rhythm
Oh who’s got a care on their mind
When we’re waltzin' the cat parade, honey
Just let yourself slide
Into feelin' fine
Like our feline
Drum line
Kicking off with our
Cool cool
Sunshine naps
Are delicious
With alley scraps
There ain’t no deadlines here, honey
You just gotta lean into the jungle strut
The world is your fancy feast
No need to concentrate
Just let your worries evaporate
Cause it is time for the cat parade
Aw yeah Charlie is out here too, the cross-eyed little Casanova
And Murphy, he ain’t one to bring up the rear, he’s too much of a little lion man to let someone else take the lead
And Big Chongus, he’s takin' his sweet velvet time to lumber up to the party but he’s on his way
And Gats? That man is older than time but he can yowl in that bow tie harder than Howlin Wolf, that’s for sure
And oh, lil momma Daisy may not know where she’s goin', but she will always know how to sniff out the soirées with the best bubbly
And last but not least, we got the man with the plan, the hardiest little squeakbox with a foggy eye, Arthur Treachers goin' by
Oh man, look at them go!
So you don’t need shoes in these here streets, honey
You just need to keep up with the beat
Smell what’s cookin'
And keep being good luckin
Cause the days are easy
And the way is breezy
For every tommy, two-toed kid drenched in marmalade
To come and join the cool cat parade

(Four leaves)
I found a field of four leaf clovers where the downtown used to be
Like walking through the bald spot on the head of a green god
To be surrounded up to your knees in more luck than you'd ever need
A little piece of history gone by
Oh to be in love with you is to walk through a field of four leaf clovers
I feel myself getting older but now it don't seem all that bad
I walked along the silent strip malls
All the parking meters green
Peering into windows, doors forever closed
I thought I heard a deep big breath come up from in the earth
How sweet it is to sleep with no one plucking at your hair
How sweet it is to be at peace with nothing but the air
The dreams I have when no one's listening are making me grow tall
The dreams I grow when no one's watching are the luckiest of all
Every moment I grow stronger bathing in your hair of green
Every breath I take it fills me with a hope that's so serene
Every step I take I get more handsome
Collecting petals one by one
Until my hands are full and I must go
You wish me all the luck in the world and now you're moving on
You wish me all the luck in the world and now you're moving on

Another lovely evening
Raining dandelion seeds
Every drop a wish for me
And every splash
Shouts out a booming crash
The moon is warming up tonight
Kissin' fireworks on high
Shooting stars drawing their pistols for the final firefight
This has all happened before
Another time, another door
It all dies and is reborn
It’s just another thunderstorm
Baby just plant
Another sunflower seeeeed
It’ll grow to be
The brightest star
In the whole violent galaxy
A million years
Shaking hands with
A trillion cheers
Of holy maaaaatrimoooony
Of I do I do I do I do I do
Take you
For all the headstones
That have happened before
Another time, another door
It all dies and is reborn
It’s just another thunderstorm

Baptized by lipstick
And bloody black battlefield
Married by bedlam
And born into chaos
Can you hear her thunder?
I’m going to war
We'll sleep evermore
As a pawn under her thumb
For you Athena, my love
No temples for heroes
No flowers for fallen
Just riding to die
For our queen in the sky
So we fight for the thunder
I’m going to war
We'll sleep evermore
As a pawn under her thumb
For you Athena, my love
For you Athena, my love

Prince Of Lebanon

Lulled to sleep by falling bombs
But your daddy stayed so calm
Not a crown upon your head
As the dead comfort the dead
But you’re still a prince of Lebanon
Still a rescued refugee
But a childhood friend to me
The treasures stayed down in the ground beneath our feet
And as the warhawks lined their nests
Your heart kept beating in your chest as
Our charging prince of Lebanon
How do you stay so stoic
May the muses make their ballads more beautiful than gold
By singing melodies about the contours if your soul
May all the poets in Damascus fall down upon their knees
If only to be thankful that you made it across the sea
And you may not have the money of the thieves in the pentagon
But you’ll still always be a rising prince of Lebanon

Are you tired of the same old hazy days?
Try waking up to the cat parade!
You hear them coming up the stairs
Creaking under little paws
The handle jiggles on the door
It happens like it did before
One by one, now, here they come!
The marching meowing cat parade!
First in line, big chongus cries aloud for all to hear
He looks you down with emerald eyes
As if to say, don’t be surprised -
The cat parade is here!
He takes his place upon the rug
Sitting stoic like a king
The leader of the pack and more
The big man has the floor
Now next in line, a clever boy
They call him keeper of the keys
For he can open every door
And shimmy locks if he should please
That’s not to mention his hefty paunch
A rotund missile of curious speed
Dangerous at any range
But now he’s got just what you need
The cat parade is here to stay
Until they’re gone - how long they may
Sojourn here, well, who can say
So enjoy them now, right here, today
And jump right up and say hooray!
You can’t sleep in, no not this way
Not when you see the cat parade
But here’s one more come through the door
A cross eyed child with a heart of gold
His brain it’s true is made of poo
But his tenderness will make you fold
Just like a paper crane into the child you are inside
And here they are all in a row
They came for you, I told you so
To welcome you to a brand new day
Will it be good? Who could say
So soak it up before it goes away
And from their book you can take a page
To prowl and yowl and yes parade
And never ever be afraid
Because you know that they will stay
With you inside
The bona fide
Procession of purring pride
It is the cat parade

The only job she has is
Duckin' cops and drivin' cars
It’s a smokey life waltzing underground
Away from star-scattered boulevards
But she always says
It ain’t lonely
Slammin' ass and slamming gas
Playing limbo with the overpass
May I die young after livin' fast
And you baby doll, I hope you’ll be the one to meet the reaper last
She bets against the house
And leaves before she’s lost
She always buys the drinks without lookin at the cost
She’d rather be the cowboy instead of working for the boss
So she always says
It ain’t lonely
Slammin' ass and slamming gas
Playing limbo with the overpass
May I die young after livin' fast
And you baby doll, I hope that you will be the one
to meet the reaper last
And to her I always reply
May your tank never empty
And your throat never go dry
May your smile always reach your eyes
And may you always have places left to drive
