Throw your troubles out the door.
Throw your trolls out the door

When your world is a lobster
A band to swallow your hole
When the world is a monster
Bad to swallow you whole

Bound to swallow you whole
When the world is a monster
Bad to swallow you whole

Moyardjev, I know the road down
Mighty glad to visit home again (OR, on the run again ?)

R.E.M's,
"Can't Get There from Here"
Philomath can know the lowdown
Lawyer Jeff he knows the lowdown
