good riddance to the cosine
skippin’ math, just enjoy your time
Captain Cook charting coastlines
you’re history when the bell will chime
Charlie Watts in the back
he hits on a Brooklyn girl
Charlie, I’ll pass your notes
I promise you
good riddance to the cosine
erase the chalk and save your life
and he’s as dry as the leeward side
my geo grades are gonna nosedive
Charlie’s always in the back
he hits on a stupid girl
Charlie, I passed your notes
I promise you
just got home, boy, what a drag
I’ll meet you at the corner, let’s smoke a fag
ten years later you’ve found your chosen path
counting cards, yeah, you can do the math
good riddance to the cosine
just step outside and enjoy your life

Saving the Arrow Child

tried to reach you
prowlin’ the streets
you’ve always been around
and up and out of town
throwin’ rocks thru windows
straight through her house
know you’ve been
in a cold sweat, thinking your bird’s on the ground
just flapping her wings
you’ve always been around
and up and out of town
throwin’ rocks thru windows
wakin’ her up
I could save you
saving the arrow child

when she smiles
it’s so unfathomable
tail wind out, head wind home
the look in her eyes
it’s so impenetrable
tail wind out, head wind home

when fate decides
to turn the page
he won’t be coming home today
and when he tries
to cause you pain
girl you gotta stay away
it’s time to make a brand new start
he’s back to breaking young coed’s hearts
when the lights go out
and you scream his name
set the voodoo doll aflame
and when you find
those picture frames
bad exposure saves the day
it’s time to make a brand new start
he’s back to breaking young coed’s hearts
true colors, fade away like a rainbow
when Judy hollered, she was swept away by a tornado
it’s time to make a brand new start
he’s back to breaking young coed’s hearts

the sun is in your face
another cold winter day
there are records in the room
the sleeves look pretty cool
late Mary Ann so pale
the smoke won’t be exhaled
what got into her head?
she fell asleep with a lit cigarette
when college rock hit the radio waves
it was a slap in my face
when you put it on, post-punk new wave
spaced out in your room
with silent Looney Tunes
we held each other’s hands
when we thought of late Mary Ann
what got into her head?
she fell asleep with a lit cigarette
when college rock hit the radio waves
Reverend Daniel told us Mary Ann would be OK
he praised the Lord, we praised KCMU

at least I now know what it looks like
to be up there in the clouds
I hope I will ever know what it is like
to be at ease, with you lying safely in my arms
always expect him, yes always expect him to show up at your door
and will I lock myself in and hide under the couch?
you and I were friends
replaced this solitude
did you catch the plane
or will I see you soon?
she disappeared of the face of the Earth
and I’ve been looking for some kind of resolution ever since
you’re a dreamer but you are right
I’ve seen the yellow moon tonight
