On the way to the side of the road, Clarence hit my mother-in-law and rolled over the embankment. In an attempt to kill a fly, I drove into a telephone pole. I was shopping for plants all day. On my way home, I reached an intersection. A bush sprang up, obscuring my vision. I did not see any other cars. I had been driving my car for twenty years when I fell asleep at the wheel. I had an accident. As I approached the intersection, a stop sign appeared where no stop sign had ever appeared before. I was unable to stop in time to avoid the accident. In order to avoid hitting the bumper of the car in front of me, I struck the pedestrian. An invisible car came out of nowhere and hit my vehicle and me. I told the police I was not injured but upon removing my hat I found I had a skull fracture. The pedestrian had no idea which way to go so I hit him. The telephone pole was approaching fast. I was attempting to swerve out of its path when it struck my front end. I was thrown from my car as I left the road, and was later found in a ditch by some stray cows. I saw the slow moving, sad faced old man as he bounced off my car.

Bridge 03:32
When I grow up, I should die so they can name a bridge after me. Well, when I grow up, they should die and name me after a bridge. Well, when I’m a bridge, I’ll want death named after me! When I’m an overpass, I’ll want death named after a bridge! Well, when I celebrate Passover with Lloyd Bridges.... oh nevermind

OMAR: Say, Dave, do you have any idea what The Smiting is? DAVE: Heck, Omar, I can’t even play it on bass. OMAR: But, like, what is The Smiting? DAVE: What is The Smiting? PRIMUS GUY: Welllll... OMAR: What is The Smiting? And what shall teach thee what The Smiting is? The day when men shall be as scattered moths, and the moths as? DAVE: Wool? OMAR: No, no! Corded wool. That’s the most smitten kind of wool. Then as for him whose scales are heavy, his shall be a life well pleasing. DAVE: Fair enough. OMAR: And as for him whose scales are light (derisive snort), his abode shall be? Eh? DAVE: The Pit? OMAR: No, but you’re close. The Bottomless Pit. DAVE: Oh, the Bottomless Pit. OMAR: And what-- DAVE: --is there a worse kind of Pit? OMAR: --Shuttup! What are you, a heretic? DAVE: No, you’re a heretic. I’m an infidel. OMAR/SHAFT: Then I can dig it. OMAR: And what shall teach thee what that is? DAVE: What what? OMAR: The Bottomless Pit we were discussing earlier. DAVE: Oh, let’s not go back to the Pit. OMAR: A raging fire. IT’LL TAKE A RAGING FIRE TO TEACH THEE WHAT IT IS, BUDDY! HAHAHAHAH! Hot enough down there for ya, pal? DAVE: It’s like a sauna in here!

They were cemented, now I’ve got the Blues. Buttload of Blues I got the Shame Spiral, Stinkin-Thinkin’ Blues. Yes, Lord, I have Issues Blues Issues I’m trying to process my Issues with the Blues But my therapist done left me, now what do I do? Are you too suffering from Personal Relationship Problems?

Wo Shing Jah 07:23
DAVE: Wo fei da si ni bu ke. STEVE: Pardon me, Dave? DAVE: Wo fei da si ni bu ke. STEVE: I’m not certain that I follow you DAVE: It means, “It won’t do not to beat you to death...” STEVE: I see. What makes you say that? DAVE: Funny you should ask. There’s an old Chinese story that goes something like this: STEVE: Is it “Stairway to Heaven?” DAVE: It’s not “Stairway to Heaven” but an incredible simulation. DAVE: Once upon a time, there were two roommates. One roommate said to the other roommate, ”Please clean up this messy room.” And the other roommate said, “I’m sorry, but I have a test tomorrow and I have to go to the library to study.” And he left without saying a word. Word. So the other roommate became a little upset, and he wrote a note to the other roommate And the note said “Your dentist is coming at 3:00. Please have the room clean for him.” And when the roommate came home, it was 2:00 and he realized he only had one hour to clean the entire room... Which he did. At about 4:00, two hours later, the first roommate arrived, and said “Oh my gosh, this room is so clean. And the first roommate said, “Yes, my dentist left a note saying he would be here at 3:00 and it’s already 4:00. I have to go to class. I don’t know what to do. And the second roommate said, “ You can go to your class. He won’t be coming.” At which point the other roommate said, “How did you know he won’t be coming, unless it was you who wrote the note?” And then he says, “Wo fei da si ni bu ke.” Wo de ming... Wo de ming tse Ming tse jiao Jah Rastafari Wo de ming... Wo de ming tse Ming tse jiao Jah rastafari We are all Chinese students. No, I am not your girlfriend. It would not do to not beat you to a pulp.

Rhombus' rule: A=BH Rhombus' rule like King Henry the Eighth Ellipses suck, parallelograms too Don't even think about trapezoids Cus rhombus' rule You think it's a trapezoid just cus it's got four sides But congruency is paramount so ram it up your snout Rhombus' kick ass: King of the quads How long can you last You parallelogram clods? I say that they rule, it's geometry You 'minus' well repent, cus it's proved mathematically Acute angles and obtuse as well So the area's half the product of the 'diag-o-nels' Rhombus' shred, I elucidate It's in the theorem, I'll brook no debate It's got sharp sides: a preternatural plane Ramming the parabolas so it causes them pain It's not just any plane It's not just any plane It's not just any plane I'll say it again Rhombus' reign over the Second Dimension And they have no Anal Retention Anal Retention in the Second Dimension Parabolic curves don't deserve a mention God damn that rhombus is a 'fine' invention! Get one today cus rhombus' rule Carve it on the desk at your junior high school Cross out Def Leppard, Night Ranger and Queen Write the scripture that's holy Cross out the obscene If it's got power like to kill and bomb us... George Bush's head is a rhombus Geraldo's dick is a rhombus Yassir Arafat's nipple is a rhombus There you go, wouldn't you be pompous If one day, you could say, you had a rhombus? Rhombus' rule, like it or not They're the best polygons that we've got Rah, rah, rhombus! Go! Fight! Win! Rah, rah, rhombus! It'll melt your skin Rah, rah, rhombus! Kick your shin Rah, rah, rhombus! Do you in Rah, rah, rhombus! Go! Fight! Bisect! Rah, rah, rhombus! You're so erect Rah, rah, rhombus! Go! Fight! Formulate! Boo! Hiss! Ellipse! Go far, far away From the rhombus and close to Doris Day You laugh cus a rhombus ain't got no head But a well placed rhombus could knock you dead Rhombus to the knee, rhombus to the groin More than annoyin': positively destroyin' Rhombus to the kidney, rhombus to the eye Rhombus' are neat when I watch you die Remember forever, that you heard it here first You know the equation so forget all the worst C'mon everybody sing it one time Grab your partner and do the Funky Rhombus!

about

P.C.N. was a 2-man band, myself and Dave Katz, from UC Santa Cruz. We did prog-rock. I did the music and we'd collaborate on the lyrics. Besides this demo, we also did a rock-opera about figs, which maybe I'll get around to posting.
