"Cook Up Something New"

The Plastic Mikey CD still turns up from time to time on Amazon or Ebay, which amuses me greatly. We only made 500 copies, and sold almost none. I gave the bulk of them away. The effort was under-budgeted and rushed, and the result is less than stellar.

Cook Up Something New

What are you going to serve me tonight?
Is it something left over?  Is it something not right?
I’m always the last one at your buffet
But baby, I ain’t had nothing to eat all day, so...

Cook up something new
Cook up something new
Cook up something new
Cook up something new
I’m tired of picking through someone else’s stew, so...
Cook up something new

What are you going to say tonight?
Just a little untruth or a bald-faced lie?
You’re getting pretty good at hiding the clues
But I’ve heard every story and every excuse, so...

Cook up something new
Cook up something new
Cook up something new
Cook up something new
You’re feeding me lines that are difficult to chew, so...
Cook up something new

Where am I going to sleep tonight?
The bed’s about to break, and the sheets are off-white
A night on the couch gives me an aching back
But it’s better than sharing the community sack, so...

Cook up something new
Cook up something new
Cook up something new
I’m tired of getting stuck in someone else’s glue, so...
Cook up something new
