"Hometown"
Music and Lyrics written by Frankie O'Malley
I used to hate myself when I loved someone else
I’m back up on the shelf there is nobody else
The sky is up and you look down
Half-empty cup for your hometown
You try to paint it so then act like you don’t know
Your jealous little games
You and I are not the same
You and I are not the same
The sky is up and you look down
Half empty cup for your hometown
The magnifying lens you look through at your friends
It’s plain and you can see
You’ll never measure up to me
You’ll never measure up to me
The sky is up and you look down
Half empty cup for your hometown

"Disposable Outcome"
Music and Lyrics written by Frankie O'Malley
Pounding your chest like a drum
Disposable outcome
There is one thing that will last
Once it’s gone and that’s your past
You can change your haircut, clothes
but where you came from never goes
While the price of something free
is dangling over me
you consume your pint of blood
While you fling gallons of mud
Pounding your chest like a drum
Disposable outcome
All the egg shells that I break
Every mouth of foot I take
Walking miles on my tongue
Eating piles of your dung
I can tolerate the taste
and afford the time we waste
To establish that you’re tall
and that I am very small
Pounding your chest like a drum
Disposable outcome
Disposable outcome
Disposable outcome

"Crystal Ball"
Music and Lyrics written by Frankie O'Malley
I fell in love with a neighborhood girl at summer school today
I asked her out and she smiled at me right before she said okay
When we made plans for where and when
Neither had much more to say
Somehow we knew right there and then
Everything was gonna go our way
Everything was gonna go our way
With love / Beyond Above
With love / Beyond Above
It’s like we had a crystal ball all the pieces fell in place
Now we look back on study hall lucky stars in outer space
When we made plans for where and when
Neither had much more to say
Somehow we knew right there and then
Everything was gonna go our way
Everything was gonna go our way
With love / Beyond Above
With love / Beyond Above
When we made plans for where and when
Neither had much more to say
Somehow we knew right there and then
Everything was gonna go our way
Everything was gonna go our way
With love / Beyond Above
With love / Beyond Above

"Mediocre Jokers"
Music and Lyrics written by Frankie O'Malley
All you mediocre jokers from the hate brigade
Alcoholic super soakers wear the greenish shade
On your coats of envy that aren’t ever gonna fade
You can’t do it for yourself so you just rain on our parade
You see of course
only the mouth of this gift horse
oh but your blind to its rich source
The potential to help yourself in its force
And we even tried to help you but it’s never good enough
When a person can’t say thank you is when good luck becomes tough
And we only get a blank you bumbling a bogus bluff
Can we break this piggy bank?
You’re keeping track of all this stuff
You see of course
only the mouth of this gift horse
oh but your blind to its rich source
The potential to help yourself in its force

"Streets and Sanitation"
Music written by Patrick O'Malley and Frankie O'Malley
Lyrics written by Frankie O'Malley
I was higher than a star in the backseat of her car
on the street, falling far
I plowed through brain cells
Like streets and sanitation
Hit hot parade belles
Topping off intoxication
Cool jets all over heated
Might have lost but have not been defeated
Not everyone can survive
I’m lucky I’m still alive
I’m lucky I’m still alive I’m lucky I’m still alive I’m lucky I’m still alive
I was higher than a star in the backseat of her car
on the street falling far
Oh, the chutes and the ladders
All the playgrounds in the city
Blow smack and scatter
In the sky-high lit committee In the sky-high lit committee
Then the day that it ended
all the wrong people were offended
Not everyone left the hive
I’m lucky I’m still alive
I’m lucky I’m still alive I’m lucky I’m still alive I’m lucky I’m still alive
I was higher than a star in the backseat of her car
on the street, falling far.

"Nobody Cares Anymore"
Music and Lyrics written by Frankie O'Malley
You can throw a baby off a roof
life’s unfair and you are living proof
You can hold the rarest jewel on earth
until it’s sold no one will see its worth
Nobody Cares Anymore. Nobody Cares
Nobody Cares Anymore. Nobody Cares
You can blow your brains out live on stage
It’s been done and didn’t get front page
You can bomb your town, your job or school
but you’ll only go down as the fool
Nobody Cares Anymore. Nobody Cares
Nobody Cares Anymore. Nobody Cares
A lady saved a child’s life today
she died to push him out of the car’s way
And on the playground one boy took a stand
to help the kid who all the others panned
Somebody dared to be more
Somebody dared
Somebody dared to be more
Somebody dared

"Mind of Its Own"
Music and Lyrics written by Frankie O'Malley
My brains got a mind of its own
full house but nobody’s home
Still get left and right wrong
and make friends with a fight song
I’m the guy whose eyes are not glued to his phone
And I’m so glad to know that I’m not alone
I’m actually pretty good at being misunderstood
I try but I can’t lie, my cherry tree supply
I’m the guy who can’t tie a tie all on his own
And I’m so glad to know that I’m not alone
No way anyone else knows
how it feels underneath these clothes
Behind these eyes under this hair
in the middle of nowhere
I’m the guy who’s beside himself in the twilight zone
And I’m so glad to know that I’m not alone
I’m so glad to know that I’m not alone
I’m so glad to know that I’m not alone

"Disappear"
Music and Lyrics written by Frankie O'Malley
With the sorest thorn here I appear
Where everything is smoke and mirrors
You know I do but you don't care
I feel like I might disappear
I feel like I might disappear
Childhood friends and solar flares
Money, time, and lemon squares
toilet paper love affairs
I feel like I might disappear
I feel like I might disappear
If I had lice I’d clean my hair
With chemicals designed to clear
up your nose and in the air
I feel like I might disappear
I feel like I might disappear
With the punch line drumming in my ear
To a lifetime joke laughing at tears
Will the magician need a volunteer?
I feel like I might disappear
I feel like I might disappear
I feel like I might disappear
I feel like I might disappear

"I Wish I Could Help you"
Music and Lyrics written by Frankie O'Malley
I'm a perfectionist
and you are a projectionist
Your bursting at the seems
and I’m outside living my dreams
Not everything you've ever wanted will come through
Though my spotlight you try to slight
I wish I could help you
Cast a line and just wait
A lifetime floating stale bait
I sing / you song and dance
I swing / you dare not take a chance
Not everything you've ever wanted will come through
Though my spotlight you try to slight
I wish I could help you

"Millionaire"
Music and Lyrics written by Frankie O'Malley
I want to be a millionaire
I want to be a millionaire
Cartons or cigarettes and kegs of beer
I just want to be a millionaire
I wanna be I wanna be I wanna be. I wanna be I wanna be I wanna be
I want to be a millionaire
I want to be a millionaire
If people suffer man I really don’t care I just want to be a millionaire
I wanna be I wanna be I wanna be. I wanna be I wanna be I wanna be
I don’t want to be an engineer
I just want to be a millionaire
Hey “this is business man nothings fair” I just want to be a millionaire
I wanna be I wanna be I wanna be. I wanna be I wanna be I wanna be
I want to be a millionaire
I want to be a millionaire
Sex sells like underwear I just want to be a millionaire.
