"Skunk Works Stomp"
Ol' Tex Johnston had the balls
But Yeager got the calls
That led to Ham and aimed us
Yuri scared ol' whitebread Jack
He was layin' Lunar track
'Til he bought a farm in Dallas
He was out smilin'
An' wavin'
Hello
Everyone was busy
With things that go
Bang
There was a saucer
An' a light
An' all the robot tots
Were playin' in the freeway tonight
Tomorrow morning they'll be bent
Tangled up in cyclone fence
Just a bunch of dumpster divas
S'pose we'd have smiled
And waved
Hello
Pro'ly good for a chuckle
On a late night show
Hello?
A cameraman
He scaled a bank
We were waiting in a tank
Waiting there to greet him
He took three steps into the snow
And everything went blank
He turned into a Slurpee
I s'pose we'd have smiled
And had a hello
But our hands were too busy
With things that go
Bang

Verbena gurl
Weather out the storm
There's more
Where they came from
Weather out the storm
For bein' a girl
Lemon verbena girl
Love her
For bein' a girl

"Buster Crabbe's Circus"
All the kids stared
Moonlit ballyhoo
'62 Fair
Bowling alley hues
Space age fountain
So new
Chimps in rockets
Still flew
All the kids dared
To climb in a pod
To a restaurant
Spun gently by God
Space age fountain
So blue
Sno-cone rockets
They flew
Saw the cool shit
That made a tomorrow
Where you could just sit
Deny all that you've borrowed
Space age fountain
Ain't so new
Sno-cone rockets
Barely flew
Soon the men came
To pick up your trash
Forty years now and some
Big deal
We've got Flash
Space age fountain
Cracked in two
Sno-cone rockets
Poison you

"Vanport Atlantis"
Civil Defense
Woke everyone up like a deacon
Air raid hymns
From buoy to Rocky Butte beacon
Backed up on Denver
For miles and miles
How could I drown?
I knew you would smile
Shake a shoe
When the wading is through
To Vanport Atlantis
Came butterfly nets
And a tractor
For the Ferris' wheel Clementines
Calico crones can't look after
Out on the tideflats
For miles and miles
How could I drown?
I knew you would smile
Shake a shoe
When the wading is through
Carousel mules
Spin cycle dunking stool witches
Who pray for their wooden friends
Indians
Toolsheds
And bridges
No sticky smartass
For miles and miles
How could they drown?
They knew you would smile
Shake a shoe
There's a stirrup for you
When the wading is through
When I finally get across
I'll kiss Noah's daughter
Hit Waddle's
For double slaw
And a pitcher of water

"Title Umpteen"
You coulda tossed 'em more than a wooden nickel
Coulda tossed 'em more
Easy
In the end
Where I live
Everyday has sunsets
And that's when girls with mitts
All come in
They don't hafta
Go donut your Morris
Through the ball bat forest
My friends
Holding dreams
Still waiting for a Jackie
Rose
Impatient
Fidgets in the stands
Connie came and went
And so did Nellie
But Micki still aint hit one to her hands
You didn't ask her
All hail to the softball queen
Why aint she on your team?
No Beavers
Take her out to the ballgame
Go Beavers

"Splashdown"
Pocket a rolled up catalog
Of astrocabers
And cosmologs
For monkeys
Boys and girls
And dogs
A coup
Try a helmet on
A Grand Day Out
No paper route
Let's put one up
In the barnyard
And see what folks think
Will they laugh?
Or make stink
Paint it
Through joyful and sorrow
Maybe come a day
Goddard getaway
I know
You'll love the moon
'Cept for sittin' in a chair
Listenin'
To the radio
Downstairs
Everywhere
Antenna wielding
Pufferfish
The Earth spins out
A tired mix
Of crying jags
And jingles
Myths
An' tunes
'Bout carpet bombs
Insomniacs
Can't wish it back
So lets put one up
In the barnyard
And see what folks think
Will they laugh?
Or make stink
Paint it
Through joyful and sorrow
Maybe come a day
We gotta get away
I know
You'll love the moon
'Cept for sittin' in a chair
Listenin'
To the radio
Downstairs
Everywhere
When splashdown comes
Our chute will billow
And sigh
No tickertape
Just picnic plates
Take a swing on the tire
Take the long slide down
Down

"Yerownville"
Yerownville
Yer finally here
Took the time to wrinkle
Steer the module
Down to yer own ville
Yerownville an' all
Pick out an asteroid
Covered in soot
Spin out a crater
With the ball of your foot
And feel the water
Bubble up around your ankles
See the sprouts all pop out
For spring
Spring
Soon the trees are bendin' down
Spring
The singin' frogs all go to town
Yerownville
Yer finally here
Pirouette
With brand new deer
And weave a sky
For yer own ville
Yerownville an' all
Daisies are starin'
Into the woods
Fish learn to leap from you
They do pretty good
Where the water
Bubbled up around your ankles
Where the moon shines back
From the spring
Spring
Soon the trees are crowdin' 'round
Spring
The singin' frogs are gettin' down
Spring

"Dumb Questions"
Loony ol' duchess
I'm halfpipe
Then crutches
What's the word?
Wooly
I ate it
You know I can't skate it
Or you heard
I've already dropped
A Mason jar of hope
Down the stairs
I've already put some dents
In my mostly yellow taxi
Still
There's something 'bout you girl
You wipe your nose
Right on your hands
As long as you can see
There's always gonna be hope
Twinkle twinkle little star
Foil balls on mobiles
Scientific hoodoo
Something tells me other planets
Crunch the numbers too
Drinking gourds
Ladles
Or dogs
It's up to you
Run out of nouns
And dig the view
Run out of the house
And dig the view
