A star and a normal person were walking down the road. When the star said to the normal person "What do suppose we do?" And the normal person said "I think it's up to you. You're the star, not me. You're the star of the show. It's up to you." A star and a normal person went shopping for a tie, when the star said to the normal person "What kind of tie do you suppose I should buy?" And the normal person said "Why don't you try on this one?" And the star said "This looks pretty good, I think I'll take it. " A star and a normal person went walking down the road.

Yak Shepard in the Andes With his bass guitar And a stack of Hi-Watt amps, the sound travels far. Avalanching arpeggios Down to an open string As he plays In the Halls Of the Mountain King.

Rudolph Steiner never cared for you Or what was true Biodynamic farming isn't real It's what you feel In your heart Rudolph Steiner lied about the past The truth won't last The accocic record does not exist You must be pissed Or somehow lost in the crowd Rudolph Steiner was a dishonest man A charlatan He made his living from the devoted few Among them you

Jim Reeves as a pilot Goes up in the air To a show far away He doesn't have to drive there. Country stars in the sky Flying this way and that Don't have to drive all night Or get stuck with a flat. You can hear him singing As he flies overhead All you need is a scanner To penetrate the world of the dead. Jim Reeves points his plane Into dark clouds and rain.

Grandad and the Queen Are shaking hands in the scene He was a pilot Back in world War two This is when he flew Refugees and some Dignitaries on the run To him it was fun I am his grandson Eisenhower knew That his plane wouldn't do And gave him quite a scare As he flew him through the air He gave him a new plane To flu at night or in the rain Something to ease the strain Of a world that went insane And the Queen agreed And gave him his CBE For all the lives he saved And did so valiantly

Cousin Peter Was a singer He loved singing In the garden We had trouble finding his grave We thought it couldn't be found None of these graves are his None of them on the ground Cousin Peter Was a mimic He did birds and Atomic bombs, too Which made our grandmother laugh Laugh until she cried She never cried so much As the day when Peter died Cousin Peter Was a driver Loved to drive his Sports car faster But he let his buddy drive On Thanksgiving Eve The last time we saw him alive A time we will always grieve

Send me a postcard I'll put it on the wall To remind me About nothing at all Nothing at all Who's to say that I do nothing? The Eiffel Tower Is pretty tall But The Pyramids Ain't nothing at all Nothing at all Who's to say that I do nothing? Doing nothing at all I hear a loud noise From down the hall I get out of bed But it's nothing at all Nothing at all Who's to say that I do nothing? Doing nothing at all

Did Humphrey Bogart ever bogart a joint? "I don't think so." Did Humphrey Bogart ever bogart a joint? "Who's Humphrey Bogart?" Did Humphrey Bogart ever bogart a joint? "Your guess is as good as mine" Did Humphrey Bogart ever smoke weed? Did Humphrey Bogart ever do speed? Did Humphrey Bogart ever bogart a joint? "He was always smoking something." Did Humphrey Bogart ever bogart? A joint? Did Lou Reed ever read a book? "Probably." Did Lou Reed ever read a book? "That's a stupid question." Did Lou Reed ever read a book? "He's a rock star poet." Did Lou Reed ever read? A book? "It's spelt differently." Did Lou Reed ever read? Did Humphrey Bogart ever bogart a joint? "I don't know."

I'm still high from yesterday's doughnut My eyes are stars and my vision is true What did they put in my cinnamon doughnut? That's why I'm singing this song for you I'm still high from yesterday's doughnut Echoes of love are green and blue What did they put in that cinnamon doughnut? I don't know but I think it was good There was some trickery In the bakery Someone had it in for me Or someone took a chance And happy accidents Happen everyday, it's easy
