Heathen 02:08
Season of the Heathen What you been believin'... Come on everybody and gather round take a big deep breath and slowly let it out take a friend by hand and show them how we do it on dry land, pick up the tambourine now, with a switch of the wrist you take the risk and dance and sing until you found your bliss now take that bliss and shake those hips, it's good to be alive it feels good to exist come on everybody clap your hands and lets go... Season of the Heathen what you all been belieivin? Take a break from the strangers seat, you need to take a bath let me wash your feet, it'd be suicide to go out in this heat, get a permission slip and we'll trip for weeks... where the dog and cat crow and the horse and lizard they know where the garden must and you know we wont survive the night Season of the Heath , what ya'll been believin"

Marty 02:10
Marty likes to dance and Joey likes to sing, Sarah's making plans and Johns vacationing, Rachel plays in bands and Tom lives on the street, Dustin is the man you go to for all your needs but where is Andy and where is Jess? Matt plays accordion Charlotte has never sneezed, Taylor is here for fun Victor is in disbelief, KC has got a son and Chris turned a new leaf, Bruce he plays the drums and Lucy looks relieved... But where is Nancy and where is Peter...? Where is Earl? Where's Elizabeth? Where is Sally, Molly, Sue, Peggy...and ...Bob?

Ghoul Stew 01:43
hey kids clap your hands, you gotta listen up, we don't stand a chance, you gotta lay down with the avalanche, you gotta ride the wave, dont you hold back, make yer momma proud, cut yourself some slack and i'll tell you how... you gotta clap your hands and try to distract from the looming threat that no one wants to accept... That the principle is a vampire and the school is run by ghouls and if we don't do something then in the end we'll be ghouls too or worse ghoul stew... Hey kids, clap your hands, don't get yerself bit stick to the plan, peel your eye lids, you know the dead can dance, and when the sun goes down they're gonna steal your pants, but don't you lay down, dont you give an inch, you gotta stick em where it counts in the heart or in the head, you gotta aim now, make your momma proud, kill the lead vampire and save the school somehow... Because the principal is a vampire and the school is run by ghouls and if we don't do something then in the end we'll be ghouls too... or worse ghoul stew...

Rise 03:43
Everyone wants to be like me I'm the bully on the playground, I sure am sweet, I'm a rusty nail on an old dead tree, theres no point in trying to get a rise from me... There's this kid named Billy and we both compete with another bully whose name is Pete and we all three agree we sure are sweet, there's no point in trying to get a rise from 'we'... Everyone wants to be like me I got it all, I got the swamp, I got the Apathy, I got a crooked tail and an odd hairpiece, there's no point in trying to get a rise from me... And life out here it never sleeps, No flowers grow no willows weep I'm a rotten bale of rolled up meat, there's no point in trying to get a rise from me... the rise in your emotion is sad to say the least surprised by evolution i'm shaking like a leaf off a tree... I got it all still i have to cheat, i pull the carpet right out from under your feet, because a crooked sail will get you lost at sea, there's no point in trying to get a rise from me... Everyone says talk is cheap and the evidence is tongue and cheek I'm sick and pale and no longer sweet, is this the rise , the rise of which you speak... the size of your devotion is heard but never scene a wise man goes through the motions and comes out the other side so clean... what's in it for me? have you ever see such obedience? what's in it for me? we're all in this together? what's in it for me! Everyoe wants to be like me , I'm in the dark without a spark, i'm a lying thief, i'm an ugly stale ol washed up dweeb, there's no point in bothering, there's no rise in me to see...

Making Room 02:54
the kids out on the playground like it's a graveyard gloom they stare out at the moon they don't know what to do so they're making room this all seems so familiar in dreams we grew too soon we stare into the gloom and if you're not careful it's true that the gloom it stares right back at you but the gloom always looked back at me in it's funny little ways the kids out on the playground like it's a graveyard gloom they stare out at the moon they don't know what to do so they're making room...

yer the kinda kid that never uses soap i always wondered if you float and even if you did I'd wanna watch your lips while yer tuggin at my throat, your daddy's rich your mommas got a list and i'm the first name there of note, oh god i wish i had a special gift and it was something beautiful... but as it is...i'm just on this list but i'm gonna try real hard To color outside the lines Hey, Now you got it, Just take that Idea and run with it All my days spent on the road, i never did what i was told, in many ways i couldn't let it go, never recovered from the cold, Yer the kinda kid that refuses hope and now you let me get to old, i'm finally rid of my guilty load but now i'm going to explode oh, i don't wanna do it but sometimes... you gotta color outside the lines yer the kinda kid that never uses soap i always wondered if you float and even if you did I'd wanna watch your lips while yer tuggin at my throat, your daddy's rich your mommas got a list and i'm the first name there of note, oh god i wish i had a special gift and it was something beautiful... Color Outside the Lines...

Two Jobs 03:27
take out the garbage clean up your room its the least you can do for your mother don't make her nervous just do what you do because she does it for you yeah she's working two jobs for you...working two jobs break out the darkness bring on the doom it's the beast you allude to discover dont make me promise don't tell me the truth i had nothing to do with the feast you prepared for the monster... snakes in the garden missing a tooth the snakes got nothing to do with your offer take out the garbage clean up your room it's the least you can do for your mother she's working two jobs for you ...working two jobs

about

This is my July Album. As much as I wanted it to be a childrens album it basically just became another standard "Grubb Album". I had fun with this one. Tried to make it a little 'freak-folky' and Ear Wormy. You be the Judge. But don't judge me.

Dedicated to my mother Nancy who was born on the day this album was released...I'm not allowed to say when that was though...sorry.
