Keep your distance! Keep your distance! Choose the path of least resistance Heed the voice of mass insistence Or succumb to nonexistence With the world left broken-hearted Say a prayer for the nearly departed Now it’s time to finish what we started Everybody stand six feet apart - hey Six feet apart Six feet apart Everybody stand six feet apart - hey Six feet apart Six feet apart O-o-ohhhhhhhhh!!! Six feet apart - hey Six feet apart - hey Everybody stand six feet apart - hey Six feet apart - hey Six feet apart - hey O-o-ohhhhhhhhh!!! O-o-oh-oh-oh O-o-ohhhhhhhhh!!!

Falling Apart Deterioration Succumbing to the infestation We’re talking on an epic scale Tried to pull myself together But I gave up on it altogether Talk about an epic fail Losing my mind Losing my identity Physically and mentally Hard to unwind Losing my sense of time It’s all gonna fade away eventually Falling apart Hanging on by a thread but I just keep Falling apart Falling apart Lie awake cause I slaughtered the sheep and I can’t sleep Falling apart Falling apart Outta control and I can’t stop won’t stop Falling apart Falling apart Fully decayed Gonna finally fade like a flat top Falling apart Starting to slip Taking a trip I’m gonna flip Losing my grip My grasp on reality Living in fear Hard to adhere Becoming quite clear That this year Is gonna be the last for me I don’t want to underplay...no wait I don’t wanna cast away The fatality of this disease But the side effects were unforeseen Can’t survive this quarantine And it’s gonna be the death of me Falling apart Hanging on by a thread but I just keep Falling apart Falling apart Lie awake cause I slaughtered the sheep and I can’t sleep Falling apart Falling apart Outta control and I can’t stop won’t stop Falling apart Falling apart Fully decayed Gonna finally fade like a flat top (I’ve been) Falling apart I’m trapped in the same routine I’m jumping on a trampoline Syncing to a rhythm that is pumping repetitiously With my head in a guillotine The blade sharpening If only I had a time machine I’m out of listerine No antihistamine I need some Dramamine I need some groceries But I just can’t be seen My state is so obscene I got some poor hygiene And if I go I’m gonna need some gasoline Falling apart Hanging on by a thread but I just keep Falling apart Falling apart Lie awake cause I slaughtered the sheep and I can’t sleep Falling apart Falling apart Outta control and I can’t stop won’t stop Falling apart Falling apart Fully decayed Gonna finally fade like a flat top (I’ve been) Falling apart All the days blend together No beginning no end or whatever Can’t decide between here and now or never Guess I’ll be facing this dilemma like forever All this forced continuity Stacked in layers of complexity In perpetual reciprocity Moving out at a terminal velocity Stuck on a loop extrapolated to infinity

PSA Don’t drink bleach You better keep it out of reach It’s not fine It will not clean out your insides Don’t eat pods They will not turn you into gods They clean clothes And that’s just how the story goes You just need to use some common sense Your brain is there for you to think Just like mouthwash’s there for you to rinse Household products weren’t made to drink Don’t sniff glue They contain a lot of toxic fumes It’s not right And that includes the Elmer’s type Don’t inject With products made to disinfect I’ll interject If the information’s not correct Even if it comes from the president I’m sure that’s not what he really meant I’m guessing it was just one big misquote Now everybody get out there and vote! Don’t eat chips If they’re made from leaded paint They’re not safe And if you think they are they ain’t Don’t do blow If that is something you don’t know Don’t snort lines Even if you do it all the time People come up with creative ways To get even dumber every day With everybody sharpening their skills It turns out that imagination kills Don’t eat shrooms It will lead to your untimely doom Don’t OD Can you use some moderation please? Must love dogs Maybe you should put that movie on Watch instead Cause if you don’t you might just end up dead I thought the world could use a PSA That’s a public service announcement And recognize that life can be so great If we help to keep each other safe

I'm Coming Home The time is near To gain a sense of normalcy It’s been one year But soon I’ll see my family Lift the travel ban Execute the plan Back to Maryland I’m coming home Heading to my gate Running slightly late I can hardly wait I’m coming home The flight’s delayed I guess that comes as no surprise The plans we’ve made Just seem to get screwed up each time Waiting for our flight Airport overnight What a sheer delight I’m coming home Sharing elbow space Slept on my suitcase Imprint on my face I’m coming home No luggage room I’m stuffed into a middle seat And flanked by two Quite portly men in their bare feet Not so wonderful Quite uncomfortable Plus my bladder’s full I’m coming home 13 hours to go Plane is moving slow Must remember though I’m coming home My mind drifts off Dreaming of what is in store And I recall Just what I’m doing this for Thoughts of welcome kiss From my wife and kids This is what I miss I’m coming home Now I must confess Home life is the best Feeling truly blessed I’m coming home Was time well spent But now I cannot feel my toes Begin descent The motherland is down below Couldn’t ask for more Bring this ship to shore Back to Baltimore I’m coming home Catch my Uber ride 15 cars collide Traffic won’t subside I’m coming home Driving down my street On the edge of my seat Mission near complete I’m coming home Onto my front porch Enter through my door All I’ve waited for I’m really home (I’m home!)

A Tale of Two Rays He honed his craft in Murdertown From where the Legend came A wild killer keyboardist Ray the Riffer was his name Through Seabass and Camp Dracula Sweet music he doth give Like the centaur form of A-Rod The Very Best Who Ever Lived His homicidal tendencies Towards keyboards were badass His acoustic prowess studied In a federal government lab The lab brought in a counterpart In contrast to this pro An amateur, an uncut gem Another Ray in tow What is their infamous origin story? How did their destinies intertwine? Some say it’s happenstance - two paths crossing Some say the kismet is too divine How did these opposites merge together? How did their livelihoods overlay? How did it foreshadow fate unheard of? This is the tale of two guys named Ray The new Ray straight from Dirty Jersey Gritty, rough, and raw He came in with a passion As a rebel with a cause This Ray brought inexperience Flying solo was his thing But Ripper Ray was on the hook To take him und’r his wing The veteran Ray was validated Theoretically While the rookie Ray had much to prove Experimentally How could this odd unlikely duo Co-exist against all odds? And how could they come up with songs To please the music gods? What were the DoD scientists thinking? Bringing together such misanthropes Spending so much of the taxpayers’ money On such a project without much hope? What could inspire their motivation? How could they sort through this disarray? How could they possibly make this happen? This is the tale of two dudes named Ray They argued music styles and genres Just could not agree Then Ray the Ripper scored some tix BOTAR in NYC (Streetlight) With ska and punk their inspiration Through triumphant horns Add lyrics from Coronavirus Collab-19 was born Both Ray and Ray were jamming out They riffed like bros possessed Compadres from another madre Genius at its best If you don’t trust the government You need to understand That federally funded research Engineered the perfect band Heaven and hell had both joined in chorus Donning the single “Six Feet Apart” Collab-19 was just getting started Oh what a musical work of art Track after track of delicious ditties Dubbed as the greatest the world had seen Forged in a path of tremendous stardom Slightly ahead of Tenacious D Slaying the scene like two Wyld Stallions What in the world was this sorcery? Combinatorial epic forces That’s what you call serendipity How’d they perfect this collaboration? Was it some code in their DNA? What was the secret to their successes? This is the tale of two studs named Ray
