Algernon Cadwallader - Preservatives Lyrics
I'm gonna stay fresh for a long time
No decomposing
No food for insects
No fuzzy white snow top of neglect
My shelf life is expired but I don't belong on a shelf
(I don't belong)
I'm big enough to admit when ...
Algernon Cadwallader - Some Kind Of Cadwallader Lyrics
I bought you a corsage
And pinned a flower on my jacket
Because this night means a lot to me

And now i'm screaming out loud
OH MAN, IT'S TA...

With more leaves

We rot back
Into the earth

Algernon Cadwallader - Second-Rate Machines Lyrics
Try and plant a tree on top of a computer.That's not happening

Algernon Cadwallader - Pitfall Lyrics
Pitiful
You fall into the alligator pit
Following something that is not beating in your chest
You have insulted all the mouths salivating at your slip

Algernon Cadwallader - Glenwood Ave. Lyrics

Algernon Cadwallader - Loose Cannons Lyrics
It's only so long that you can stare at the stars
Until they become a black spot with white dots
And it would be heartbreaking
To imagine you and me as two prematurely retired loose cannons. Take it off you conscience
Did you h...
Algernon Cadwallader - Chewed Up And Spit Out (In A Bowl) Lyrics
I wrote a book about living in paradise
And how living in paradise isn't what it's like in books
You can't hold attentions with pretty sunsets and white sand
Computer desktops crop out the gritty lives of the Kiribati

Algernon Cadwallader - Sailor Set Sail Lyrics
My sea legs went south where they put stranger creatures on old maps. Imagine if they never had a net at the circus circus

Algernon Cadwallader - Sad Lyrics
Smoke and mirrors are good for barbecues and vanity
But interfere with what you are trying to tell me
Call it what it really is

Algernon Cadwallader - Look Down (Because The Ground Is Easier To Understand...) Lyrics

Let me tell you what I think about frog spit

Algernon Cadwallader - (Na, Na, Na, Na) Simulation Lyrics
Wednesday night, I'm sitting in a room

(Elvis Costello cover)
I don't wanna kiss you

I told you that we were just good friend...
