I wanna cry 'cause I smell alive!
no no nobody knows my lie,
won't you buy some more for me?
I promise you, this is the last time.
Morning holds my hand and rips me out of bed,
but I need it now; it takes me where it can.
So I'll see you around
It's not worth figuring out.
Ahhhhh!

Cuttlefish can huddle muddle gruddle diddle dee
and so I cut around the corner looking for a little tree.
Grip a little nipple so you never lose your way
because the slightest shitty ripple can slip all your strength away!
Inside or without, I gotta get my shit together
so I never lose a finger to a fingerless banana,
and my mother is a fungus and my father is a bug
and so I've never had it easy when it comes to getting hugs!

Look at that frog against the wall
He’s waiting on you, start crawling
Big eyes blink at you
He wants to know what he should do
Oh never tell me I didn’t predict
That life begins and ends in shit
My tongue is raw from tasting it
I just wanna fall asleep.
V-neck tees and apple trees
always give me the heebie-jeebs
The world keeps moving on
I always get it wrong.
Send my ass through the fax machine
it always makes the ladies scream
never could the ever dream I'd let them see my cheeks.
Clap them things and spin around
You've got the strongest thighs in town
You twist them once, you twist them down
and then you twist away.
Smell the air unless you care about the scent of car repair
my engine's getting low
so oil me up slow

Hello! My name is Henry Raker, and I’m a NY based saxophonist and musician.
Originally from
Brunswick, Maine, I have been playing saxophone since the age of 10. I've played with all sorts of bands raging from wind ensembles to traditional jazz bands to Greatful Dead cover bands to ska bands to free improvisation-based bands. I love it all.
