about

You know when you're driving and you come up on a highway that looks like it's named after someone? Well, I did that once and the road wasn't named after anyone even though it looked like it from far away.

lyrics

I was drivin along
And I seen a sign.
It had this guy's name on it.
Looks like they named a road after him.
Dallas North Tollway was his name,
Don't know who he was,
Don't know where he came from.
But that's a weird name to give to your kid.
Was he some kind of famous gardener?
Was he some kind of weird bricklayer
With orange juice strands in his yard?
Was he a shopper in the great convenience store
In the middle of the revolution last Thursday?
What could it mean?
Should we go outside and play football?
Double sided tape!
I forgot to plug in
The fence.
I don't have to play checkers Thursday afternoon,
Because I have a brand new
Potato-shavingsmobile.
I put an ice cube in
The file cabinet last Thursday.
Cat with a mohawk.
A farm and a chicken.
My microphone got mad at me
Because I drove on the road
Named after Mr. Tollway.
Videotape!

10,000 Lakes Texas

10,000 Lakes began in 1993, as a solo project using a Casio SA-7, a combination of acoustic and electric guitar, and completely random lyrics recorded onto a tape recorder. The style has mostly stayed the same, except for a change in keyboard to a CA-110, and pro mic's and a mixer. Chopstick shoes. My belt buckle rented someone else's cupcake remedy. ... more
