They've updated the track list. Here's the final list before the album comes out and my stab at lyrics to one of their songs i got a hold of via Aaron's live performance from last December for Invisible Children.
1. "Every Thought a Thought of You"
2. "A Stick, Carrot & String"
3. "The Angel of Death Came to David's Room"
4. "Goodbye, I!"
5. "The Fox, the Crow and the Cookie"
6. "Bullet to Binary, Pt. Two"
7. "Timothy Hay"
8. "Fig With a Bellyache"
9. "Cattail Down"
10. "The King Beetle on a Coconut Estate"
11. "Allah, Allah, Allah"
"The Fox, the Crow, and the Cookie"
Through mostly vacant streets, a baker from the outskirts of his town
Earned his living peddling sweets from a ragged cart he dragged around
The clever fox crept close behind and kept an ever-watchful eye
For a chance to steal a ginger spice cake or a boysenberry pie
Looking down was a hungry crow
"And when the time is right, I'll strike
and condescend to the earth below
and take whichever treat I like"
The moment the baker turned around
To shoo the fox off from his cart
The crow swooped down and snatched
a shortbread cookie and German chocolate tart
Using most unfriendly words that the village children had not yet heard
The baker shouted threats by [?] to curse the crafty bird
"You rotten wooden mixing spoon! Why, you midnight winged raccoon! You'd better bring those pastries back, you no good, burnt, black macaroon!"
The fox approached the tree where the bird was perched delighted in his nest
"Brother Crow, don't you remember me? It's your old friend fox with a humble request! If you could share just a modest piece seeing as I distracted that awful man..."
This failed to persuade Crow in the least, so the fox rethought his plan
"If your lovely song could grace my ears or to even hear you speak would ease my pains and fears!" The crow looked down with the candy in his beak
"Your pearls of wisdom, my good crow, what a paradise they bring!"
This flattery pleased the proud bird, so he opened his mouth and began to sing:
"Your subtle acclamations true, best to give praise where praise is due!
Every rook and jay in the [?] been ravin' about me, too!
They admire me one and all
Must be the passion in my call
My slender bill known through the [?]
My fierce, commanding caw!"
Oh, I got a walnut brownie rain
and molasses in my veins
Crushed graham cracker crust
My powdered sugar funnel cake cocaine
Let the crescent cookie rise
These carob covered almond eyes
Would rest to see my cashew princess in the swirling marble sky
And we'll rest upon the knee where all divisions cease to be
And root beer float in our banana boat across the tapioca sea
When letting all attachments go is the only prayer we know
May it be so
May it be so
May it be so
May it be so...
I'm a shoe-in for hater of the year.
