t’s a normal game show
Except with way more dialectics
(Dialectics)
We make up the questions you answer for prizes like this
<you might win your very own song>
So enter the stadium
Start priming your cranium
For some pseudo trivia
The voice of the generation
Don’t accept an imitation
It’s the phony express!
It’s the phony express,
Putting your cerebellum to the test!
The first question is which new game show is the best?
The answer is
It’s the phony express, yeah,
The phony express
It’s the phony express yeah,
The phony express
It’s the phony express, yeah,
Phony Express!
Phony Express!
This is the part where the song vamps and the host introduce themselves.

Marshmallow
A chocolate shell
Together
Compose the mallomar
Ask those fools
In hoboken
Their favorite cookie
is the Mallomar.

In parts of Canada
It's called a 'Whippet'...
but it's still a Mallomar.
Go eat a Mallomar.

I was five years old
But I knew when I grew old
I’d need the lessons I’m learning in
Kindergarden
Kindergarden yeah
Woah woah
At this early age
This developmental stage
You’ll learn everything that you need in
Kindergarden
Kindergarden yeah
Woah woah
Hook break
You could learn from Chicago’s best
Mr. Jared Thomas
But first you need to learn some things in
Kindergarden
Kindergarden yeah
Learn in kindergarden,
This one year can prepare you for forever
Learn in kindergarden,
Every day you’ll get a little smarter
Learn in kindergarden
This one year can prepare you for forever

My oklahoma
A crust over the sludge of the dead
Maybe it’ll burn
This engine effigy
This oil bed, between church and hell
But They made me glimmer
In the heat of this impending sun
Maybe I’ll burn bright as my desires
This Golden icarus of Exxon and Shell
Cuz I’m the golden driller
I’m a gilded fugazi oil man
And all I have ever ask
Please leave me in the past
Sequester me with the carbon
Cause I’m the Golden Driller
A monument to infinite wants of man
They made me much too tall
For such a finite world
But I still dig up what I can

A pimpled skin, shiny and round
I feel bad when I put you down
Atoning
Cause you’re my one and only
Cause you’re my gourdinary love
Cause you’re my gourdinary love
I want to touch you, with a squash
Inside a pumpkin I am lost and lonely
Zucchini guacamole
And you’re my gourdinary love
And you’re my gourdinary love
You’ve got a body
Like a gourd I say in secret only
Longing for your hidden hobby
So hold it on me
With a gourd we’re making love
Gourdinary love, put it on me
I pray, to keep
That gourd
With me

Valheim (Prize's Song)

These untamed hills
Portend something I
Cannot distill
Some expanse of nature
And prose intertwined
Another cycle
In songs of a divine
A kingdom of heaven in
Valheim
Where else you want to go when you die
Those works of man
Could never compete
With a grain of sand’s
Immutable integrity
This new grander design
Even the dirt here
Has a sort of rhyme
Carving scared glyphs across
Valheim
Where else you want to go when you die
Recursive echoes of time cry out
Valheim
Where else you want to go when you die
A final living paradise
Valheim

Carter family passover
In the heat of july,
Moses said we should run
But I had fallen in love
With the pharoh’s son
At the base of Sinai,
Under the pharoh’s thumb,
“You can’t leave me in Goshen!”
Said the pharoh’s son
Pharoh’s son, pharoh’s son
You are my only love
But your father’s persecutin’
Has forced me on the run
Still we say
Dae, daenyu
Dae, daenyu
Dae, daenyu
Daenyu daenyu
Moses told me stay inside
And use this poor lamb’s blood
But who would be caught outside?
None other than the pharoh’s son
Now I’m here stuck all lonely
My conscience weighs a ton
Im shipping off to Canaan
Without the pharoh’s son
Pharoh’s son pharoh’s son
You are my only love
But I cannot host a Seder
And invite the pharoh’s son
Still we say
Dae, daenyu
Dae, daenyu
Dae, daenyu
Daenyu daenyu

Everyone told me that monogamys a time bomb
Something that a genius like me shouldn’t waste their time on
her three sisters made me move out to the belt of Orion
Or jackson hole
The only time that they’re allied is when it’s
factional
When they need me to have lied when it’s factual
But how could I really fight when their capital
Is so much compared to mine and when half my role
In this marriage, advertise goods to half the globe
While we try and raise a child and a half year old
Cause when it all
It all falls down
I thought I could still rely on you around
Why I’m asking
Oh baby give me one more chance
I swear that it’s never too late
For me to change
Could you give me one last dance
I swear that I’ll come right back
And be your man
Oh baby give me one last chance
I swear it’s never to late
For me to change
They say people in your life are seasons
They say everything that happens is for a reason
But I can’t stand the thought of those same people leaving
Just like that
I didnt think of it as cheating
Or a hall pass
I just thought you wanted freedom
Or contact
With someone who wasn’t me
In this upscale flat
In the same Beverly Hills where
you watched your dad
Defend a bronco racing killer
With mismatched gloves
I swear this city lets you buy
Anything but love
And all my friends that just smile
still watch your reruns
The only thing that gets me high
Is this lord above
My sanctuary’s when
Mark’s gospel
Fills my lungs
our lawyers throw their heads backwards
And speak in tongues
When I look up heavens ladder
It’s filled with rungs
Cause when it all
It all falls down
I thought I could still rely on you around
Why I’m asking
Oh baby give me one more chance
I swear that it’s never too late
For me to change
Could you give me one last dance
I swear that I’ll come right back
And be your man
Oh baby give me one last chance
I swear it’s never to late
For me to change
Could you give me one last dance
I swear that I’ll come right back
And be your man
