"Fast Track" by Schlock Diesel / Scott M. Thompson Sept 2020 Fast track - throw out your back? see the train coming start runnin', jack both ways, long time home from the city it's like we rode all day but the Deez work you know it never ends you gotta make ends, not friendsss Time's not waiting for you anyway and It laughs at new trends CHORUS: talkin' 'bout a fast track to my butt crack gonna heave it like a scooby snack (a 4-pack) sticky-drippin' like a honey rack you got your lipstick, babe, on mah' funny sack that takes me way-way back/ you got me lookin' like a Sasquatch on the Baywatch got a double dip of butterscotch (like corn pop) got the drippin' on mah funny crotch director whip-crack pains like "this one's a botch" I think I gotta take the loss Been a long time since I found myself sweatin' workin' hard on the fast track I guess I've had a long time to pack, Got two fat kids in the back But it'll never get easier just keep chuggin' forward like a train on the slab-track And if you can't hang on then catch a patch, straight to Sass-kaatchu-waatch Short days, long nights, cussin' over bong fights Just in time since I fussed over switching song types Fast track, double stack, triple pack, sticky tack, flip-flap-ship-tap Took three whole days just to make sure the chorus didn't change up from "butt crack" I meditated and I asked some friends, they only said play it again

Bonin' Up, by Schlock Diesel / Scott M. Thompson Sept 2020 well there's nothin' new under that sun but ya can't always kick back and have a lil' fun sometimes the pieces fall in place, find yourself sheltered in, nobody in your face going on a 90-day drought from the world, I'll wait until they got it figured out studyin' to fill that cup not disappearin' but you best bet i'm bonin' up CHORUS: if ya think u can test my love well guess what? "I'm bonin' up, I'm bonin' up" hit the books get the best education that's tough "I'm bonin' up, I'm bonin' up" hey professor you can kiss my ass n' my butt "I'm bonin' up, I'm bonin' up" hustle back n' apologize, sorry messed up "I'm bonin' up, I'm bonin' up" anybody got a light? like Wooderson says "all right, all right" the devil's in sight droppin' moms on your bombs everybody stay calm it's gonna be a fight and we're bound to stay up all night

"One Eighth", by Schlock Diesel / Scott M. Thompson July 2020 Guess I shoulda' went with porcelain But as a kid I used to buy up rookies knowing I could win Topps, Fleers, Donruss, Upper Decks I clutched a box of old favorites that I hoped would earn the best Finally took my collection to a show Had to be three decades later (problee even more) Appraiser spent a buckle lookin' through my stuff Then he told me with a chuckle when I asked him what it's worth "One eighth, one eighth, one eighth of a wet shit" (it's worth about) "One eighth --" right out the gate, he said "One eighth of a wet shit" (let's go) Gotta give the fella credit for the phrase Reminded me of something I'd have coined up in my younger days Took my box and quickly said "so long" Ate my crow and figured turn my tragedy into song Drove to the desert, laid out in the sun (let's blow) When a groove comes record it, number one Hit the pool up and ran into some folks (holy smokes) But I had to make sure to return with something more than jokes Days later and I'm in the studio With a sunburn and shiner but it barely even shows That old box of cards still haunts me some nights Thirty years of hard wishing gets you something worth in kind

"Gassin'", by Schlock Diesel / Scott M. Thompson Sept 2020 Bugs. I don't think I like 'em. Tried to give 'em all a shot And now I wanna swipe 'em off the Earth Especially my house You don't come close to paying rent And like Jerry Krause -- they're generally hard to manage Cockroaches lurk in the night tryna make a sandwich That's not how it works Bought some RAID just to take care of the lil' jerks Can't run fast, when I'm gassin' Don't care how many legs you got Can not last, when I'm gassin' About to spray this Raid up yer butt Your "Bug's Life" is gone be crashin' once this poison Makes its way in your ass, cuz I'm gassin' Best get the [explicit] out of my way Sorry for the curse. Summertime came and my situation got worse. Everywhere I look, Up, Down, Left, Right, BA+Start, I'm shook I think they're in my clothes Accidentally kicked my cat when she sniffed me w/her nose Might be time to call Orkin (Shake it up) [derogatory adjective] RaId's not workin'

"Long Train Coming", by Schlock Diesel / Scott M. Thompson Sept 2020 I told ya I was bonin' up, well I learned a few pointers and it's time to share a sip from the cup You flipped it all to right from wrong and I'm so proud of you gonna put my joy into a song Cuz you know my world is yours it's a time share and I'd never have it another way So proud You kept a long train comin', babe So loud You kept a long train comin', babe There's no doubt You kept a long train comin', babe [keytar solo 😎]

"Shirts vs. Skins", by Schlock Diesel / Scott M. Thompson Sept 2020 we're playing shirts versus skins and this my favorite tuxedo not taking it off because I'm dressed to win so if you're down for some fun then lose that cummerbund and join us and ladies it's cool if you're wearing a dress we ain't making a mess do me a favor, and watch the post the spot in driveway hoops that means the most do me a favor, and guard the post that's where our points come from

"Night Wave", by Schlock Diesel / Scott M. Thompson Sept 2020 Keep riding that night wave, baby The waaaaaaaaaave Keep riding that night wave, baby The waaaaaaaaaave Excuse me, got a lozenge in your purse? My mouth's all dry -- back up and reverse Three days ago I had nothing but sun Whole body's parched now, sandpaper for a tongue I got Sunny D and some purple stuff On my mind but no drinks and it's turning rough I'm handcuffed -- did I mention that? I'm kinda on the run but the night wave's steering me Jam it on the 1 For some reason, this song's about a night wave Check's in the mail baby, you already paid Grab a blanket, your best cassette boom box I'll take a Reunite on the rocks

"Advice", by Schlock Diesel / Scott M. Thompson Fast T to my butt C? You must be thinking track 1 This is midrange, past three at least Your butler 'bout to call a priest Saw your bankroll statement, packed up And said "Peace" Now your drama's wrapped up like bubble And your mama's trapped with your lease, real trouble That's why you gotta think before you sign dotted lines Hard times got you looking like grocery store limes Gone after three days, NO ZEST Your life's messed up. You're smelling like ass. And butts. Maybe do yourself a favor Simply go back in time and invest in Life Savers. Back when Willy Taft was the prez. Find a man named Clarence Craine in Ohio and do what the man says Be his apprentice for at least five years before you even mention Anything about maybe being interested in buying his formula For three thousand dollars (straight cash) But you better watch out for a man named Edward Noble He has plans to buy the formula, best give him trouble
