Emergency Contact

[[tachy at 110 bp holding at 100 over eight. he's gonna need blood, get four units on that]]
[Verse 1]
it's a dangerous world out there baby
you got random attackers
you got polluting oil shale frackers
you got brain-injured linebackers
you got democratic election hijackers
you got North Korean hackers
logging into your fitness trackers
you got animal crackers
uncaged and roaming free
you got earthquakes
and rattlesnakes
outbreaks
and yellowcakes
unfair shakes and
grave mistakes
for chrissakes,
here's what it takes
[Chorus 1]
write me down as your emergency contact
we'll get this thing together babe
and we'll break it all down
and if you list me as your emergency contact
we can handle this babe
and in my official duties as your emergency contact
i'll keep it cool baby
just like a miracle on ice
and be sure you have me down as your emergency contact
it's the smart move, baby
take my expert advice
[[still no pulse. clear!]]
[Verse 2]
who knows what they'll throw at us next, baby
it might be psychotic depression
malignant tumor progression
a massive bullshit session
with the medical profession
it could be demonic possession
the next global recession
a rude facial expression
or some other microaggression
it could be gamma rays
a fiery blaze
dark days
with general malaise
power plays
that go sideways
now what i say's
[Chorus 2]
be sure you have me down as your emergency contact
and we can make it happen baby
[[it's not lupus!]]
and if you let me be your emergency contact
we can take on the world babe
and write me down as your emergency contact
we'll do a number on this thing
we'll make it wish it stayed in bed
and if you have me as your emergency contact
we'll go to school on this baby
and we'll come out ahead
[keyboard solo]
and be sure you have me as your emergency contact
you in good hands baby
you can sleep safe and sound tonight
and if you let me be your emergency contact
every little thing
is gonna be alright

A Fine Specimen
02:35
|

[[encounter creatures far in advance of our own rather primitive species]]
Verse 1:
there are some areas of art and beauty
of which you could say i'm a connaisseur
and there's a piece i've got my eye on
i've never been so sure
cleopatra and jackie o
helen of troy and marilyn monroe
that cat getting chased by pepe le pew
they ain't got nothin' on you
[Chorus 1]
i ask is it okay if i join you?
she says yes, and then
i say to myself what we have here
is a fine specimen (fine specimen)
[Verse 2]
she's exactly what i need
to keep me warm
in front of me this glistening illustration
[[a perfect example]]
of the human form
she's so easy on the eyes
i can feel my blood pressure rise
not to jump to far ahead
but i wouldn't kick her out of bed
[Chorus 2]
this feeling's overpowering
and if i were a lesser man
i might blurt it out aloud to everybody
that what i'm lookin' at here
is a fine specimen (a fine specimen)
[Bridge]
[[the mating ritual continues]]
[[the female in the middle dances with both enthusiastic males at the same time]]
[Chorus 3]
i can't help but appreciate
the many assets you're posessin'
and admire what i see before me
this quite fine specimen (a fine specimen)
[[man, there's a swarm of them, did someone kick over a douchebag nest?]]

[Intro]
[[okay, . . . two people. . . searching for love, for salvation . . .
good, good, love that.
thought it would be something worse!
worse that the total agony of being in love?
as if!]]
[Verse 1]
we've each got a quirky sidekick pal
our backstories mesh together well
we have this chemistry on-screen
there's only one thing it can all mean
[Chorus 1]
let's have a meet cute
then i'll begin my pursuit
we'll start to get along
till something goes wrong
an angry goodbye
soon you're with another guy [[that was fast]]
now you're boarding a plane
and i'm running through the rain
to say i think you're the bomb [[Elaine!]]
how bout we make a rom-com?
[[nobody puts baby in a corner.
here's looking at you, kid]]
[Verse 2]
i'm clueless, pretty woman in pink
enough said, or say anything you think
we'll have tiffany's for breakfast, love in the afternoon
and while you're sleeping or sleepless, we'll be struck by the moon
[Chorus 2]
let's have a meet cute
then i'll begin my pursuit
we'll start to get along
till something goes wrong
a dramatic goodbye
[[i think i'm gonna cry!]]
now you're boarding a plane
and i'm running through the rain
to say i think you're the bomb
why don't we make a rom-com?
[[you complete me
you had me at hello
i'll have what she's having]]
[Verse 3 / Bridge]
you got 27 dresses for 50 first dates
16 candles or ten things that i hate
10 days to lose a guy with a 7-year itch
or have a big fat wedding because you're crazy rich
[Chorus 3]
let's have a meet cute
then i'll begin my pursuit
we'll think there's something wrong
just a mix-up all along [[big mistake]]
soon you're with that other guy
[[she's not wasting any time]]
now you're riding a train
that i'm chasing in the rain
to say i think you're the bomb
what say we make a rom-com?
[Chorus 4]
let's have a meet cute
[[how very refreshing, a man who doesn't believe in marriage]]
we'll think there's something wrong
now it's time to sing along
there's an angry goodbye
don't forget that other guy
now you're boarding a plane
and i'm running through the rain
to say i think you're the bomb
how bout we make a rom-com?
[Outro]
[[nice boys don't kiss like that. . .
oh yes they fucking do]]
let's have a meet cute

[[for quality assurance, your call may be monitored or recorded. i understand complete sentences, so please tell me in detail, how may i help you today?]]
[Verse 1]
i saw about your work anniversary, congrats
did they give you a pen? or maybe they do plaques
they shoulda made you manager, five years is a while
[[stay on the line to speak with a representative]]
maybe they did, and you didn't update your profile
[Chorus 1]
i've spent enough of my life
combing through email folders
these fingers typing you unsent messages
they should be running across your shoulders
it's never been hard
to send an e-card [[you've got mail]]
you know i wish you well
maybe you'd LOL if
i texted you a gif
IMHO it'd be better to share it with you IRL
eye ar ell
[[one moment while we connect you with a customer service specialist]]
[Verse 2]
i've seen your posts, your vacation by the sea
funny seeing you with him, thinking it could've been me
and when you changed your relationship status to "it's complicated"
my feelings aren't complicated [[i bet a lot of people like you; i know i do]]
[Chorus 2]
i've spent enough of my life
combing through email folders
these fingers typing you unsent messages
they should be running across your shoulders
it's never been hard
to send an e-card
you know i wish you well
maybe you'd ROFL if
i SMSed you a gif
TBH i would prefer to share these feelings with you IRL
eye ar ell
[Bridge]
please check to confirm that you've made the right selection
i'm hoping that we haven't lost our connection
[Chorus 3]
i've spent enough of my life
combing through email folders
these fingers typing you unsent messages
they should be running across your shoulders
it's never been hard
to send an e-card
you know i wish you well, baby
maybe you'd LYAO if
i PMed you a gif
OTOH we could just get back together IRL
[[sorry, i didn't quite get that]]
eye ar ell
eye ar ell
[[thank you for calling. if you feel you were disconnected in error, please call back. we apologize for any inconvenience]]

[Verse 1]
tyrannosaurus rex was the king of the mound
all day that fella was struttin' around
then he turned and said what's that sound?
the place went quiet, the pterodactyls were downed
sixty million years later you look under the ground
that's where our hero's old bones are found
napoleon bonaparte conquered a few
till his winning streak snapped in russia & waterloo
general custer he was doin' fine too
till he had a little bit of a run-in with the sioux
so while you're standin' there admiring the view
keep in the back of your mind that it could happen to you
[[here on the morning of september second, the drama of surrender reached its climax. in a ceremony that lasted only twenty minutes, the fate of japan was sealed forever.]]
[Chorus]
you might be riding high livin' a life you'd choose
not a care in the world but everything to lose
walk a mile in another man's shoes
you'll learn what it's like to be singin' the blues
one minute you're drunk with power to abuse
but you could count ten seconds and find out you're old news
[Refrain]
[[it was panic]]
old news
[[sixteen and a half million shares of stock sold in a single day]]
[Verse 2]
no matter how smoothly you think it'll sail
have your fun but keep an eye on your tail
you may be at the top, but the second you fail
they could seize your possessions and lock you in jail
but maybe that coffin's still missing a nail
so think about this before you go down that trail
[[the kidnapping of little charles a. lindbergh junior was a tragedy, not only to colonel and mrs. lindbergh but to the nation]]
[[in this house, dillinger was found and arrested]]
take your fortune for granted and you'll be filled with regret
a payback target karma's waitin' to get
so pause for a moment to reflect on one thing
the ephemeral nature of your status as king
the one you laugh at while you're a rising star of the town
is the first face you'll see on your way back down
[[have you no sense of decency, sir?]]
[[well, i'm not a crook]]
[Chorus]
[Refrain]
[[did you ever take banned substances to enhance your cycling performance? yes]]
old news
[Verse 3 / Bridge]
everything is ninety-nine percent but there's one tiny little issue
it could take a nosedive
it could go bust, sour, south, or sideways
crater, bomb, implode, blow up in your face
go off the rails like a runaway train
spiral out of control or circle down the drain
[[bernie madoff, you could argue, ruined scores and scores of people, but in your interview, he seems to suggest they shoulda known better]]
[[gary shephard reports on this weekend's bloody action in beijing]]
[[police report other beatings and scattered looting across the city, all in reaction to the verdict]]
[[activists, lawyers, and human rights organizations have described the first year of sisi's term in office as a return to egypt's dark days of oppression]]
[Chorus]
[Refrain]
old news
[[two fellas in the soviet union were walkin' down the street and the one of 'em says, 'have we really achieved full communism? is this it? is this now full communism?' and the other one said, 'oh hell no, things are gonna get a lot worse!']]

As Advertised
04:46
|

[Verse 1]
it's widely understood that events
seldom play out as we rehearse
and it's true some people make commitments
then come to view them as a curse
but this love that we share sustains us
through the better and the worse
[Chorus 1]
it wasn't long before we realized
and no one who knows us will be surprised
to hear there's a look that i see in your eyes
that tells me we're still going strong as advertised
as advertised
as advertised
still going strong as advertised
[Verse 2]
one often hears the warning issued
that the buyer should beware
but neither one of us is the type who'd
throw a tantrum because the other changed their hair
and this bond that exists between us
we didn't form it on a dare
[Chorus 2]
it wasn't long before we realized
and no one who knows us will be surprised
that there's a feeling that i get when i look in your eyes
that tells me we're still going strong as advertised
[[you got it, that sure, secure, confident feeling]]
as advertised
[[lasts an extra, extra, extra long time]]
as advertised
still going strong as advertised
[[it takes a licking and keeps on ticking]]
[Bridge]
[[long-lasting freshness]]
[[known for being tough under fire]]
[[really satisfies]]
[[still going]]
[Chorus 3]
it wasn't long before we realized
and no one who knows us could be surprised
that there's a look beaming out through those starlit eyes
that tells me we're still going strong as advertised
as advertised
as advertised
still going strong as advertised
[[a fresh feeling and stronger hold]]

[they are the world's most deadly assassins]
[your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to get the document and bring anna kurkoska to safety]
[people listen up, this is a national security emergency, we have an imminent threat]
hands tied behind the chair
they ask me where's your wife
what you talking 'bout, i've never seen

and the lights go black
that's just how my baby goes about

[covering fire!!!]

and you got me back
[once the damage is done, you're not gonna be able to cut a deal, give me the kill code now]
[we don't take care of this, we will both burn]
clinging to the ledge
you got a badguy on your leg
take my hand and let's see if
we can take him down a peg
boost you over the fence
and we make our getaway
we said till death do us part
but that will be some other day
i got your six
[buckle up]
it's part of the contract
i got your six
[shaken, not stirred]
and you got me back
i got your six
[come with me if you want to live]
it's part of the contract
i got your six
[this is not a drill, soldier]
and you got me back
[launch countermeasures]
it's a pleasure dodging bullets with you
[you really think you have a chance against us, mister cowboy?]
it's a pleasure dodging bullets with you
[yippie ki-yay, motherfucker]
it's a pleasure dodging bullets with you
[mister president, it's been an honor]
it's a pleasure dodging bullets with you
[he's making his first mistake. they don't make mistakes]
[you're a disease]
[it's not a tumor!]
[and i'm the cure]
[it's not a tumor... at all!]
[now i want you to choose your next words very carefully]
[i will look for you. . . i will find you. . . and i will kill you]
we find a private plane
slide in under the wing
baby's takin' the cockpit
do you know how to fly this thing?
i got your six
[you know how to use these things?]
it's part of the contract
i got your six
[no idea whatsoever]
and you got me back
i got your six
[hasta la vista, baby]

[missed it by that much]
and you got me back
i got your six
[you're very impressed with yourself, aren't you?]
it's part of the contract

[i have my moments]
and you got me back
i got your six
[you still alive, baby? unnnhhh]
it's part of the contract
i got your six
[i'll be back]
and you got me back
[this is a code ten abort. i want everyone back in the vehicles, this is a code ten abort]
[what was that? it's the finale]
