So I know what you’re thinking: “How on earth can I get these live scorpions across the country Specifically for the purposes of medical research, and or the production of Antivenom?” Well it just so happens that our great nation’s postal service has rules for just the situation you’ve found yourself in They made some rules and regulations under 526.5 To ensure that all your scorpions and mailfolks stay alive You can only send em by ground mail to the continental states So listen closely to the rules and you’ll avoid a tragic fate Double pack your scorpions when you send them in the mail Make sure that the interior is something that won’t fail Make sure that all the packages say “Live Scorpion” Cause a scorp loose in a postal truck ain't my idea of fun Make sure that the box is strong pursuant to 522 Get good double-wall fiberboard or equivalent will do Don’t use no flat rate boxes, ensure contents do not shift Cuz Goddamn you’re mailing scorpions this ain’t no time for thrift Now these rules are for the research bugs, you can’t send through your pet For that you’ll need a diff’rent carrier ask your local vet So be sure to follow all the rules before you send em out Cause an empty box labeled live scorpions is NOT something I want to think about. So double pack your scorpions when you send them in the mail Make sure that the interior is something that won’t fail Make sure that all the packages say “Live Scorpion” Cause a scorp loose in a postal truck ain't my idea of fun Please double pack your scorpions when you send them in the mail Make sure that the interior is something that won’t fail Make sure that all the packages say “Live Scorpion” Cause a scorp loose in a postal truck ain't any kind of fun

Out of Steam 03:58
Lately I’ve been feeling like I’m out of Steam Eat and sleep and work and sometimes I dream Flying through the clouds and then I seem To be devoured by the elder god who’s chasing me Then I wake up and I find That I haven’t lost my mind In the madness that remains Maybe it's just me who is left sane Some weird asteroid fell in my well Now the trees are shivering and The crops have gone to hell I had turn my attic to a jail cell And my son up there really isn’t looking too well Then I wake up and I find The colors flown off and left us all behind It didn’t mean to be unkind But it left my poor farm and my family maligned Met a girl in Manamooskeagin She said something that really stuck inside my noggin Fingluey Min-gul-naff Klulu Reelya ngahnaggle Ftaggin Lately I’ve been feeling like I’m out of steam All these stupid cultists been Interrupting my dreams Maybe I’ll teach them a thing or two But it’s so nice in my dread house with my ocean view Then I wake up and I find All the humans have already lost their minds Waking up was a waste of time Now I stare at my ceiling, wonder if I’ll ever be fine Lately I’ve been feeling like I’m out of Steam I’m afraid of the sky I’m afraid of the sea I know that somethings gonna kill me What will it be? Better just to sit and wait and see...

Ghosts 02:18
Ghosts How am I not haunted by the flies and gnats I’ve swatted Ghosts Who’s voice is this flaunted In my ear canals so knotted It’s Ghosts. All Ghosts It’s Ghosts My Ghosts... Ghosts Flying high above me The clouds sit watching, judging Ghosts Wile the radiance of sunshine Lies bleeding on the mountain It’s Ghosts. All Ghosts It’s Ghosts My Ghosts... Ghosts When will we reach glory? Is that even the end of the story? Ghosts Or is the treasure only In the memories history It’s Ghosts. All Ghosts It’s Ghosts My Ghosts... It’s Ghosts. All Ghosts It’s Ghosts My Ghosts...

Charity 03:28
F C Charity, don’t wait for me Dm C Bb Cause I’m not your perfect man I know that you’d be better off free And I don’t fit in your plan. And I lost Patience to another Said she couldn’t keep holding on By the time I finally found her She was standing there all gone. Just standing there all gone Chorus Bb C I saw Faith wandering through these streets alone D C F Bb When her girl Hope left town Bb C She said “My virtues won’t pick up the phone D C F Bb And I don’t think I’ll be sticking around” Lost contact with Grace and Mercy When the time for forgiveness was gone Now I’ve found myself unworthy And I think that they knew I was all along Bridge C Fsus4 F My friends and betters are slipping away Bb Fsus4 F C It’s better for them one and all One by one I’m pushing them away from me They saw me rise but they won’t see me fall Maybe they’ve already seen me fall Chorus I found Faith wandering the streets alone When her girl Hope Left town She said “when your virtues won’t pick up the phone Then you best not be sticking around” Had a falling out with Joy the other day But we've been on the rocks for years This time I think there’s nothing left to say There’s just too many mutual fears There’s just too many mutual tears Chorus Me and Faith wandering the streets alone When our girl Hope left town I said “my virtues won’t pick up the phone Then you best not be sticking around I don’t think I’m sticking around”

the gate to paradise hangs on my wall C G Fae folk dancing on a keyboard F to type some words to me C G Goblins riding on a seahorse F Aquatic cavalry C G Creatures frolicing together F As far as the eye can see C G The polls of pixies are misleading F C To the seelie electory Take me through the Paradise gate that’s hanging on my wall I wander it in a raptured fit Like a transubstantial mall I just get lost, through the paradise gate Crows are squawking in a circle And flying through a maze They invite me onto their ritual And I go into a daze Crows are eating from the apple And they offer me a Hat One Crow begins to tell my fortune And in the mirror a crow looks back The ship I’m Sailing on is sinking Hit and run by a whale Lenin tried to pull us over But we couldn’t hear him through all the hail Rome is ransacked by the raiders, Piano chords, and Bass invaders Caeser celery Strikes back As the banks all fall to the attack If we shadows have offended, Think but this, and all is mended, That you have but slumber'd here While these visions did appear. Maybe I have but slumbered here While my painting quoted shakespeare And with my visions now upended My puck's monologue has ended

about

My favorite songs from a song per week challenge I did for a while.

Varied genres, varied tone, varied quality!

First 2 songs are funny (in my opinion) and the last 3 aren't trying to be. but what is or isn't funny is up to you at the end of the day.

Thanks for checking it out, pal...
