Time Machine 03:10
TIME MACHINE words and music by Mike Vitale cogs and wheels that spin and spark driving alone on a highway in the dark steampunk brain, this lone machine behind my random access memory I've got Legos sprawled all across my floor My brothers and I are going to war force fields furnish the perfect protection for a space ship powered by our predilection I'm a time machine I am senescence a dinosaur book adolescence A onesie sleep on my parents couch loving me to bed with caring slouch cogs and wheels connect with the power train playing with my r/c car in the rain I'm behind the wheel of my own creation an 88 mile an hour rumination I'm a time machine I am senescence a dinosaur book adolescence A onesie sleep on my parents couch loving me to bed with caring slouch I jump like Indiana Jones down a flight of stairs Avoided hot lava on the kitchen chairs I saved the whole world from a fierce invasion I'm an observer in a widening age dilation I'm a time machine I am senescence a dinosaur book adolescence A onesie sleep on my parents couch loving me to bed with caring slouch I'm a time machine I am senescence a dinosaur book adolescence A onesie sleep on my parents couch loving me to bed with caring slouch

Running Away From Home Words and Music: Mike Vitale watching the movie Teen Wolf put the notion in my head that being human's boring and I'd rather be a werewolf instead but knowing getting bit by one could be a difficult proposition I reckoned that the wilderness would improve this disposition so we lit out at dawn for the mountains in the distance my best friend Brandon along in tow no doubt from my insistence 1985 was the year of our independence two empty seats in a second grade class while the teachers calling attendance but there's no need to worry I've got everything I need a sandwich and a blanket and the will to succeed I'm heading towards the hills where all the lone wolves roam so long momma, I'm running away from home in order to ensure a proper werewolf transformation my days before departure were spent researching Scholastic publication and according to my sources folklore lent it several options all of which I applied myself to their immediate adoption one of which involved drinking water from a werewolf footprint but since that wasn't handy I felt a dog's would be sufficient and when the full-moon changing never came I was left with one volition to pursue a pack of wolves to bring my dreams into fruition but there's no need to worry I've got everything I need I would have asked for your approval but I knew you'd never agree I'm heading towards the hills where all the lone wolves roam so long momma, I'm running away from home and getting to the foothills would be a days worth of travel but getting spotted by adults would make my well-laid plans unravel and knowing we wouldn't make it far walking streets in broad daylight we walked the inner parts of canals to keep us out of sight the sun was near to setting and my plan was sitting pretty Brandon and I had one street left to reach the outskirts of the city yet one small problem remained and left Brandon and I debating the portal that would lead us beneath the street was covered by metal grating but there's no need to worry we've got everything we need we can climb this chainlink fence and then you and I will be home free we're heading towards the hills where all the lone wolves roam so long momma, I'm running away from home and just as we reached the top of the fence a squad car changed the setting the officer rolled down his window and asked where we were heading we pointed towards the mountains and he got a twinkle in his eye he said, "man, that's a long ways away boys, hop in, I'll give you a ride." but there's no need to worry I've got everything I need a sandwich and a blanket and the will to succeed I'm heading towards the hills where all the lone wolves roam so long momma, I'm running away from home Country

Mark Twain 03:28
Mark Twain words and music by Mike Vitale your voyage towards the outer rim of cold and harshest flight but back around again you turn to gem of florid white Halley's tail spun bewitching pose to admire from the ground or better yet you near to me as you make your sunlit round you're a comet that brushed along the sky and then returned to its journey alone you're a gift from the heavens of love and creation wrapped in the confines of flesh and bone a divine spark and the emergence of light accretion coalesced until the balance was perfect and right perfect and right silence looms amongst the cold alone in black and night so I exhaust myself to bring you all my energy and light my lambent draw at distance tugs you closer for reprise the beginnings of our universe reflecting in your misty eyes you're a comet that brushed along the sky and then returned to its journey alone you're a gift from the heavens of love and creation wrapped in the confines of flesh and bone a divine spark and the emergence of light accretion coalesced until the balance was perfect and right perfect and right the mass of love that draws you closer to my warming light melts your inner being to release you from your flight the gift you share with spectators standing on our earth can watch our loving embrace and our universal birth you're a comet that brushed along the sky and then returned to its journey alone you're a gift from the heavens of love and creation wrapped in the confines of flesh and bone a divine spark and the emergence of light accretion coalesced until the balance was perfect and right perfect and right
