This is the first piece I co-wrote with my high school friend Chris Magri. Chris was the smartest kid in my class so who knows why he was in my room coming up with twisted ideas to record? We both shared a love for Zappa and Monty Python so that could have been the connection. We were also part of a punk kazoo band called M.U.C.K. in our senior year. Anyway, I shut my mouth and went along with his creative ideas contributing here and there. At least I could play the drums half way decently, so that moved things along. Strange piece. Goes all over the place harmonically. Certainly unique.

lyrics

TIME FOR TEA IN MY HOLE

Shake out your spinal fluid
Wake Up, the calcium's gone
Get lost you homely druid
Steam tax you hairy

Carbon is an ugly sight
What you look like can't be right
Step aside you're in my light
I can't bare your ugly face
Market your name tag pencils (RENDA!)
Park it - your jaded ties
Lock it - your sinned utensils
Hock it - you nasty...

Blacken teeth chew blacken meat
Slacken mind eat acid rain
Broken back there's no receipt
Crack my skull I own no brain

Take my wife please
Keep her bottom warm
Hold her tight - soft squeeze
Before she takes away my form

I hope she wouldn't do that to me
No!
Time for tea in my hole
Time for tea in my hole
Time for tea in my hole
In my hole...
