Rad Comrade Conrad
Don’t it make you mad?
Colored your world
And mangled hair
With the dye
From your bleeding art

Don’t try to please me
It comes so
Naturally
I’ll be your Mrs.
Pretentious
Crash and burning
Down the aisle
And we’ll do it again!

How prophetic
They’ll never get it
Turn you off
When you
Come on
I could die
When I see you try

It seemed so easy for
Mad Lover Lorre
Who lost his mind
And his heart
To a girl
Who couldn’t be found

And he’ll do it again

Rad Comrade Conrad
Don’t it make you mad?
It makes me
So sad
I could die
When I see you try
It seemed so easy for
Mad Lover Lorre
Who lost his mind
And his heart
To a girl
Who wouldn’t be found

Don’t go through it again

Captain Janet's Broken Planet (Six Feet Over)

Guess I’ll take it slow
‘Cause I can’t see
Over the wheel
I may be
Over the hill
But I know you’d like to
Put me under

Guess I’ll hang out here
Play this
Broken record again
For these stars
Burning out
In a spin

As they pass me by
I often wonder

How all these
Lovely people
Lonely people
Love dust clouds
Come crashing down
When I’m
Six feet over
Everything
But you still didn’t notice
I’m six feet over
You’re so pathetic
You just don’t get it

I’m six feet over
I’m Six feet over
Six feet over
You…
Over you…

Captain Janet’s
Done it again
And she’s spinning
Out of control
Only want to be
A part of the whole
But when she reaches out
They just ignore her

Guess she’ll hang
With me
If she ever learns
To trust again
‘Cause it’s easier
To rust in a spin

Oh, this broken planet
Makes me wonder

How all these
Lovely people
Lonely people
Love dust clouds
Come crashing down
When I’m
Six feet over
Everything
But you still didn’t notice
I’m six feet over
You’re so pathetic
You just don’t get it

I’m six feet over
I’m Six feet over
Six feet over
You…
Over you…

Hey! Hey!
I’m six feet over
You

“Hey - I’m six feet over…
Clouds
And sea and air,”
She says,
“I guess I’ll see you there.”

And suddenly
I would not
Leave you
Anyway

I’m the type of girl
You’d ignore
Until I
Give me the floor
‘Cause I’m
The type of girl
Who does without
The Hype
‘Cause I’m the
Type of girl
Who doesn’t like
Being a Type

Wait ’til you
Meet her
My lovely meter
Are you gonna read her?
Are you gonna feed her?

Should I stay
Hidden
In the corner
Like a Black girl
Should?

Far from a danger
Far from a stranger
But because
It’s anger
Now it’s a big deal

Should I stay
Hungry
In the shadows
Of a corner
Like a Black girl
Should?

I’m “sad and lonely”
I’m “kind of homely”
I guess my only
Means of expression
Is my voice

Should I stay
Hidden
In the corner
Like a Black girl
Should?

Should I stay
Hidden
In the shadows
Of a corner
Like a black girl
Should?

It’s all the rage
All the rage
We’re going all the way…

Holding My Breath

You…
You…
You…

If I burden you
Would you tell me
So
I won’t bother you
Any more
Than I have to

Didn’t realize
Friendship
Had a price
Silly me
I can’t even afford
To pay attention

Sorry I breathe
In the same
Room as you
In the same
World as you
And I’m so very sorry
I’m not
The same as

You
Want me to be
A copy
Of you
And your friends
But I don’t like your
Machine
And I don’t care for
Your toner

I know
The Shape
Of your heart
It’s cold, clear
And it knows
One side
Perfect asymmetry
And your
Circle of friends
Are still square

So,
Sorry I breathe
In the same
Room as you
In the same
World as you
And I’m so very sorry
I’m not
The same as

You…
You…
You…

Have the decency
To tell me
And leave me
With an ounce
Of faith
That somewhere
There
Hides
The friend I knew
And I’ll be
On my merry way

Would you
Do it for me? (Ah…)
Between the light
Of the sun and the moon
Would you
Do it for me? (Ah…)
Like I’d do it for you...

Would you
Do it for me? (Ah…)
Between the light
Of the sun and the moon
Would you
Do it for me? (Ah…)
Like I do it for you…

You…
You…

Ah…
