I ate all your peanut butter/ You know what it does to me/ You left it laying around. I ate all your peanut butter/ You know what it does to me/ You left it laying around. You've got seventeen hundred and sixty-nine seconds 'til I start again. You've got seventeen hundred and sixty-nine seconds 'til I start again. I ate all your peanut butter/ You know what it does to me/ You left it laying around. Wir (Sie) mussen Marny Russell's Peanut Butter kaufen. Wir (Sie) mussen Marny Russell's Peanut Butter kaufen.

Check Out 02:15
I play all day and sleep all night/ And wake when I want. It's a delight sitting high above/ Everything around. You look at me and when I stare/ It's so unreal. I will check you out/ Check you and check you again/ Check out, turn around/ Turn back and check you again. Down by a nearby hidden pond/ It's 10:45. I see you side by side/ With a close friend. I say nothing and I stay hidden/ Underneath the branches. I will check you out/ Check you and check you again/ Check out, turn around/ Turn back and check you again. As I lay in bed at night, I am/ Thinking of you. I don't know why I do, but I/ Can't seem to help it. You look at me and when you stare/ It seems so unreal. I will check you out/ Check you and check you again/ Check out, turn around/ Turn back and check you again.

Peanuts are grand, peanuts are loveable. They make such things becoming oh so spreadable. It warms my heart with every jar I consume. It can be smooth, it's a delicacy. Decadent treats, it also comes in crunchy. Bringing us joy, unless you're an anaphylactic. Oh, oh oh ... I'm so into you. Ooh ooh ooh. (Instrumental) It gives us strength, oh it's full of protein. It makes me blush in all its simplicity. This magic thing will change your life for the better. Oh, oh oh oh... I'm so into you. Ooh ooh ooh, an unbridled treat. Oh, oh oh oh... I'm so into you. Ooh ooh ooh, an unbridled treat. Oh, oh oh oh... I'm so into you. I'm so into you. I'm so into you. Oh... I'm so into you.

Peanut sittin' on a railroad track/ It's heart was all a-flutter/ Around the bend came a number twenty-nine/ (Toot toot!) Peanut butter. Marny sitting at her kitchen table/ She's reachin' for another/ Twists the lid off a shiny jar/ (Toot toot!) Peanut butter. It ain't hard to stay/ spending the day/ Eatin' this gooey spread/ But if I ever ran out of peanut butter/ I think I'd rather be dead. Peanut sittin' on a railroad track/ It's heart was all a-flutter/ Around the bend came a number twenty-nine/ (Toot toot!) Peanut butter.

If there’s one thing I could change, I’d have kept you around/ To fight these demons by my side, instead of throwing you/ Away with everyone else. You’re worth your weight in gold/ And I’m hanging by a thread/ Waiting for the sun. And as the story unfolds it’s filled with twists and turns/ I can’t wait for the end. There are times throughout the day/ I’d imagine you’re around/ You and I know it’s not true/ Push those thoughts aside/ And try to start anew. You’re worth your weight in gold/ And I’m hanging by a thread/ Waiting for the sun. And as the story unfolds it’s filled with twists and turns/ I can’t wait for the end. Maybe somewhere down the line/ You’ll know what you mean to me/ In your hands you hold control/ Of my life and I think you’ll understand. You’re worth your weight in gold/ And I’m hanging by a thread/ Waiting for the sun. And as the story unfolds it’s filled with twists and turns/ I can’t wait for the end. You’re worth your weight in gold/ And I’m hanging by a thread/ Waiting for the sun. And as the story unfolds it’s filled with twists and turns/ I can’t wait for the end. You’re worth your weight in gold/ And I’m hanging by a thread/ Waiting for the sun. And as the story unfolds it’s filled with twists and turns/ I can’t wait for the end.

Wattleton, a prototype town for the world. It deals in robots, it's technologically sound. Within this town lives a nugget and his girl. He's from the 20s, he's technologically inept. Oh.... His name is Harvey. His name is Harvey. His name is ... Twenty nine. Twenty nine. Twenty nine. Twenty nine. Oh.... His name is Harvey. His name is Harvey. His name is ... (Go Stefan!) Oh.... His name is Harvey. His name is Harvey. His name is Harvey. Oh.... His name is Harvey. His name is Harvey. His name is...

Day by day/I reside/ By a hollow cave in your mind. I live on hope and feed on love/ I'm a skeleton with no pride. Oranges/ to intrigue/ An aroma that's calling me/ An aroma that's calling me/ I'm so obsessed with your smile. Hey, hey, no/ Do you want me to go/ I could stay if you want. Fast or slow/I'm not letting you go/ From my sight or my mind. Five weeks down/ three to go/ I'm going crazy 'cause time is slow. I've struck out once/ and now it's twice/ Something's missing from an invite. Beneath your lips there shines a light/ From a diamond on your tooth/ From a diamond on your tooth/ I could get rich off your smile. Hey, hey, no/ Do you want me to go/ I could stay if you want. Fast or slow/I'm not letting you go/ From my sight or my mind. I could get rich off your smile... Hey, hey, no/ Do you want me to go/ I could stay if you want. Fast or slow/I'm not letting you go/ From my sight or my mind. Hey, hey, no/ Do you want me to go/ I could stay if you want. Fast or slow/I'm not letting you go/ From my sight or my mind.

Our swords are drawn/the stage is set/ Upon the outcome I have bet/ For me to win and you to lose. I'm stronger than you think. The bell has rung/it's time to charge/ Towards each other fast as light/ This is it/the final fight/ It's gonna be a cinch. Another win for me/ Denies you victory/ And as I drink your blood/ I'm loving every drop. You take a swing/I strike a blow/ You can't get up/ It's over now. Leave you for dead as it should be/ Oh how you disgust me. No one wants you so go back home/ If you don't then I'll tell you where to go/ The road is long/ the hills are hot. You chose the place yourself. Another win for me/ Denies you victory/ And as I drink your blood/ I'm loving every drop. I'm loving every drop that falls my way/ That once flowed throughout your heart and body/ And I can't get enough. I've succeeded yet again/Over you my filthy friend. The war is over/justice done. And it does feel so good! Another win for me/ Denies you victory/ And as I drink your blood/ I'm loving every drop. Another win for me/ Denies you victory/ And as I drink your blood/ I'm loving every drop.

I knew a man he worked in the shop across from me/ He always knew the time, he sold it. On an island of arms and faces he dwelt/ With one eye always on retirement. Every Monday he bring his daughter to work/ She'd always disappear when it was quiet. And I'd like the way she'd say 'good morning', 'good afternoon', but she'd never say 'goodbye'. His daughter looked like Emily Strange/ Only older, she kept her emotions in check/ Ever since that day she went away/ I'd try in vain/ to remember her name. It's been year since I laid my eyes on her skin/ Father sold up shop and retired. Last I heard, she was working abroad, or somewhere/ As a nanny or someone for hire. And I'd miss the way she'd whistle at me/ Down my aisle inappropriately. His daughter looked like Emily Strange/ Only older, she kept her emotions in check/ Ever since that day she went away/ I'd try in vain/ to remember - In vain, to remember her name. She was the backbone/ She knew what she desired/ She was the backbone/ And I knew what she desired. His daughter looked like Emily Strange/ Only older, she kept her emotions in check/ Ever since that day she went away/ I'd try in vain/ to remember her name. In vain, to remember her name. My love for you is more or less the same/ It grows stronger with every year that goes by. Ever since the day you came my way/ I've tried In vain, to remember your name.

Down a diamond road All the truth comes out And it haemorrhages like the tears Streaming down your face In a foreign place Anything that you say will be used against you From now on. And if you want to humiliate yourself Then tell someone how much you mean to them And if you want to make embarrassment your friend Then tell someone how much you love them. You tread a fine line Between a charmer and a creep Somewhere down the line Bits of information get to you And you realise it's too late. And if you want to humiliate yourself Then tell someone how much you mean to them And if you want to make embarrassment your friend Then tell someone how much you love them. And if you want to humiliate yourself Then tell someone how much you mean to them And if you want to make embarrassment your friend Then tell someone how much you love them. And if you want to humiliate yourself Then tell someone how much you mean to them And if you want to make embarrassment your friend Then tell someone how much you love them.
