Insomnia

This is a sleepless spin on "Try" by Colbie Caillat.

Try to go to sleep
Tilt your head right
Scratch your chin
Stretch your leg again
Turn over
Close your eyes too, close your eyes too
Listen to the clock
Ticking on now
Check the time
Shadows on the wall, hum a song
Close your eyes too, close your eyes too
You just have insomnia
You just want to sleep the night away
You just have the hiccups, hiccup, hiccup, hiccup
You just have to breathe into a bag
Go on close your eye, eye, eye, eye-yi-eyes
Go on close your eye, eye, eye, eye-yi-eyes
Go on close your eye, eye, eye, eye-yi-eyes
So just close your eyes
Go on close your eyes
Snoo-oo-ooze
Restless leg syndrome
Wiggle feet
Mister Whiskers purrs
Does what kittys do
And those claws
They go right through, they go right through (Hey!)
Wait a second, I
Need to go… put the trash out too
Cause it's garbage day, today and
They will be here soon.  All too soon
You just have insomnia
You just want to sleep the night away
You just have the hiccups, hiccup, hiccup, hiccup
You just have to breathe into a bag
You just have insomnia
You just want to sleep the night away
You just have the hiccups, hiccup, hiccup, hiccup
You just have to breathe into a bag
Go on close your eye, eye, eye, eye-yi-eyes
Go on close your eye, eye, eye, eye-yi-eyes
Go on close your eye, eye, eye, eye-yi-eyes
Go on close your eyes
Go on close your eye, eye, eye, eye-yi-eyes
Go on close your eye, eye, eye, eye-yi-eyes
Go on close your eye, eye, eye, eye-yi-eyes
So just close your eyes
Go on close your eyes
You just have insomnia
You just want to sleep the night away
You just have the hiccups, hiccup, hiccup, hiccup
You just have to breathe into a bag
Go on close your eye, eye, eye, eye-yi-eyes
Go on close your eye, eye, eye, eye-yi-eyes
Go on close your eye, eye, eye, eye-yi-eyes
Go on close your eyes
Mister Whiskers, please
Hey off my face
Take a breath
Scratch those kitty ears, hear the purrs
Close your eyes too
Close those eyes too

Potato Surprise

This crosses "Devil Inside" by INXS with a leftover casserole's role in repurposing unwanted food.

Got some left-overs
Some o-old french fri-ies
Clean the 'frigerator
It's casserole night
Toss in the tuna
Trim off the cheese
Add in some of those obligitory peas
It needs some of these, these leftover peas
Mix it under, under, under
Leftover spam, it's a cellophane prize
Squirt in some ketchup, add a quarter pot pie
Some rubbery broccoli, and dry carrot sticks
Mix it under some soy bacon bits
Mmmm bacon bits
Potato surprise, potato surprise
Mixing up some leftover
Potato surprise
Potato surprise, potato surprise
Fixing up a casserole called
Potato surprise, oh woah oh oh
Let's reminisce
With that old crusty rice
Half a frankfurter, that frankfurter's nice
And back in that corner, say what's in that bowl
It looks kinda grody and so old I can't tell
What it i-i-is
What is this foo-ooo-ood
It's in potato surpri-i-ise
Yeah potato surpri-ise
Potato surprise, potato surprise
Everything ends up inside
Potato surprise
Potato surprise, potato surprise
It all ends up somewhere in
Potato surprise
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Some mushy zucchini, from Saturday night
Got the runs then, but lets give it a try
Pop in some pudding, I hope that it's lime
Eat this stuff now or we'll have it next time
Potato surprise, potato surprise
Mixing up some leftover
Potato surprise
Potato surprise, potato surprise
Fixing up a casserole called
Potato surprise
Potato surprise, potato surprise
Everything ends up inside
Potato surprise
Potato surprise, potato surprise
It all ends up somewhere in
Potato surpri-i-ise, oh-woah-oh
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Potato surprise
Yeah yeah yeah
Potato surprise
Yeah yeah yeah
