Every time I come here I feel the same
In that I feel completely different
Usually when someone says “What’s your name?”
I feel like I’m saying C-C-C-C-Clark Kent
Like maybe this could be
A reasonable facsimile
A modern-day marvelous
Secret Identity
Is it still me?
Is it just me?
Every time I come here I sing that song
And everybody sings the words
The lights are bright upon me, I’m King Kong
And every little clap, my heart flap-flaps like birds
Like maybe this could be
The birth of my celebrity
A red carpet, carpe diem
Times infinity
Is it still me?
Is it just me?
I try to be a single entity
But different situations seem to call for different versions of
Me, as a meme ever evolving
Seems funny that they’d keep an extra-temporal haven for me
To return the favor
Every time I come here you look the same
In that you’re congruent with your still image
Everybody’s got a holy name
So I walk-walk-walk this pilgrimage
Like maybe this could be
A test of my divinity
A prayer circle in search of
Lasting serenity
Is it still me?
Is it just me?
I try to be a single entity
But different situations seem to call for different versions of
Me, as a meme ever evolving
Seems funny that they’d keep an extra-temporal haven for me
To return the favor

Neil deGrasse Tyson
Is a Titan of the Mind
Like a chocolate Carl Sagan
His sagaciousness tickles my spine
He’s not worried about the children (Oh no no)
He’s worried about the adults (No no no)
He’s not worried about the violence (No no no)
It’s science in the hands of dolts
Oh Neil, tell me why
We aren’t living in space stations on the moon
And Neil, tell me why
We won’t be getting to Mars very soon
He’s not worried about the end times (No no no)
He’s worried about the here-and-now (Now now now)
He’s just worried about a future (No no no)
Where science is just a cash cow
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Is a Titan of the Mind
Like a godless Johannes Kepler
He knows what makes the universe divine
He’s not worried like Neil Cavuto (Oh no no)
He knows the Earth’s not the enemy (No no no)
If you step up he’ll treat you like Pluto (No no no)
And demote you permanently
Oh Neil, tell them how
You would improve our un-intelligent design
And Neil, tell them why
Nothing will happen when the planets all align
(Oh no no)
(No no no)
(No no no)
Raise your glass to Neil
To a real man of science

Lonely Little Party God
02:42
|

Behold, a lonely, little Party God
Living underneath couch cushions with all of your lost buds
But if you listen close he might tell you what’s up
If youth is wasted on the young, then let’s get wasted and have fun
If dreams're wasted on the old, then let’s let’s go on dreaming
Sing it out, sing “Celebrate Good Times” and “Shout”
Wring yourself out, every drop counts, every drop counts
Behold, the state of your former deity
You gave him up for adoption so you could watch more TV
But if you listen up you might still hear his decree
If youth is wasted on the young, then let’s get wasted and have fun
If dreams're wasted on the old, then let’s let’s go on dreaming
Sing it out, sing “Celebrate Good Times” and “Shout”
Wring yourself out, every drop counts, every drop counts
Behold, how small a Party God can get, when all of his followers
All his followers forget to wear their priestly vestments and buy their holy incense
But if you listen well I promise he will make sense
If youth is wasted on the young, then let’s get wasted and have fun
If dreams're wasted on the old, then let’s let’s go on dreaming
Sing it out, sing “Don’t Speak” by No Doubt
Wring yourself out, every drop counts, every drop counts

New Man

To return to the roots
To become the roots
To be buried in dirt
To become the good word
Who do you think I am?
Who do you think I am?
I don't know
To return to the soil
To become the soil
To eat the seeds
To become a redwood tree
Who do you think I am?
Who do you think I am?
I don't know
Sometimes I wish that I was still that person that you ran to
With all your problems but I’m not your dad
Wish that I could solve all of your crying shames with simple games
And sayings that I pulled right out of my ass
Ask me all of the questions
That you were too young to know that you should have been asking
Asking me
Like who do you think you are?
I don’t know
Sometimes I wish that we all lived in the same place so we could
See all of each other every single night
But I know if we spread out like seeds or sleeper cells
Then we can tell the big bad world to go straight to hell
Hello, all of my old friends
We are too young to have lost so many branches
I am, I am the Redwood
I am a New Man, and so are you
So are you
