he sits in the door, thinking what was before
might be again
he hopes
he's wondering why, but he knows it's his fault-
it's not
he was just made that way
he never got that doctorate; instead, he sits at home,
never a hit
what does he get?
he goes to work, and does his job,
dreaming of what could have been...
but it couldn't
it was just his fates
always falling behind that kid from his class,
justin pepper
livin' someone else's dream
his name
is mr. pibb
what can he say?
what can he say?

RC Cola
05:01

royal crown, the tertium quid
golden-brown, when i was a kid
taste the sweetness, on your tongue
the subtle hiss, like i’m still young
holy nectar, a citrus twist
best in the world, forever missed
if i could see my youth again
i’d record the subtle notes in pen
rc cola, the tertium quid of pepsi and coke
rc cola, history obscured in smoke
rc cola, immortalized in pen and ink
rc cola, the third party of soft drinks
faith:
a time machine is what you need
i’ll take your green, you have your steed
a horse, of course, with eyes of fire
shall take you where men conspired
to create a soda, the perfect mix
of sweet and sour and magic tricks
now the flavour’s all dried up
ne’er again to rest in your cup
rc cola, the tertium quid of pepsi and coke
rc cola, history obscured in smoke
rc cola, immortalized in pen and ink
rc cola, the third party of soft drinks
graham:
is it true, do my eyes deceive
the liquid that i sadly grieved
is invented before my eyes
oh what a wondrous surprise
i’ll have a sip, my first in years
and rid myself of all my fears
the wonder of this royal crown
i’ll chug this whole damn bottle down
rc cola, the tertium quid of pepsi and coke
rc cola, history obscured in smoke
rc cola, immortalized in pen and ink
rc cola, the third party of soft drinks
but oh, what’s this, my taste buds shrug
what’s this sitting in my mug
i thought the diadem’s taste
would grant me happiness posthaste
but in this 1900s shop
i feel no glory in this pop
i don’t know why i even tried
guess i’ll take this old horse for a ride
jacob:
hey i’m satan i need my horse
he seems to have got himself off course
now i don’t wanna cause no bad tidings
but i think you should fear what the future brings
you haven’t been the best christian
i don’t think you’re gonna get into heaven
but if we make usselves a deal
i think i can make your life unreal
if you really want the fame
you’ll have to beat me in a game
you can choose what we will play
just one rule, not a sommelier
(instrumental)
well i think you’ve got me beat
i’ll toss you out onto your feet
here’s your cash, your fame, your love
what else could you want from heaven above
graham:
i can’t believe i risked it all
flew so close, i could almost fall
there’s just one more necessity
to put together the best of me
rc cola, the tertium quid of pepsi and coke
rc cola, history obscured in smoke
rc cola, immortalized in pen and ink
rc cola, the third party of soft drinks

C Em
Ale 8 you make me feel on cloud nine
Am G
And the soda brand is local to our state
C Em
Maybe I should be glad that I have such a connection to you
Am G
I will always think of home when I taste that regional ginger
C Em
But I can't help but feeling sad when I can’t be with you
Am G
Im addicted, its a problem, I really need some help
C Em
But 42 is the number of states you are sold in,
Am G
you are golden, you are the answer to life
C Em
Cancer could be cured if you go worldwide
Am G
Conquer all my child, leave none to survive
C Em
My blood is ale 8 my body too
Am G
Replace the oceans with ale-8, I believe in you

Sierra Mist

you woke up on a monday morning
to find yourself dead, and noone in mourning
everybody just went about their day
most of them ignored your haunting
worried about the changes to come
you’d lost all your power, your fame
that’s the end of it for you
no more followers, no of-rings
no more lemon, and no lime
there’s nowhere but the grave for you to go
sierra mist
you won’t be missed
nobody cried
they’re starry-eyed
you had to rebuild it all from scratch,
your disciples scattered and lost
the men and the women that you’d spent so long
building had left, with no hope of return
they’d seen the replacement with stars in their eyes
losing their focus on the biggest prize
and with that you had lost motivation
that’s the end of it for you
no more followers, no of-rings
no more lemon, and no lime
there’s nowhere but the grave for you to go
sierra mist
you won’t be missed
nobody cried
they’re starry-eyed
your churches were ransacked in barely a day,
holy water gone from stores, but pepsi could stay
and here, all alone, now you knew
what that fellow crystal tab had been talking about,
when nobody loves you so you get phased out
and now there is barely a hope for a spring
that’s the end of it for you
no more followers, no of-rings
no more lemon, and no lime
there’s nowhere but the grave for you to go
sierra mist
you won’t be missed
nobody cried
they’re starry-eyed
la dee dah dee day
la dee dah dee dah dee day
la dee dah dee day
la dee dah dee dah dee day

Don't go
Back to the carnivals
Faygo
Don't go
Back to the carnivals
Taking away all your marvels
Away
Faygo
I don’t know
Where to even get you
You're a mystery I never knew`
Faygo
You know i'm lost
The bright lights and trumpets blare
From places I don’t know where
Faygo x4
I don’t know, Faygo x2
Faygo x4
I miss your sweet taste, Faygo x2

There are flowers growing all around a massive animal inside of me
And it's so ugly
And I'm so broken
And I'm so ugly
And it's so broken
I am calling all of my friends to pull me out from this hole
But they're so caught up in their own shit
And I'm so caught up in my own shit
Worlds collapsing all inward
And the drones are piercing through its own skin
But I think we should live together
Yeah, I think we should live together
And you have to believe me when I say I understand that no one around here seems to understand
But you have got to make an effort
Yeah, you have got to make an effort
Like kids smoking in cemeteries
Trying to remember what it's like to be nothing again
So maybe it won't be so scary
When they finally meet the maker at all
There are flowers growing all around the tiny fish swimming in my blood
Begging me for more cheap coffee
Begging me for more cheap coffee
Swimming round a kingdom of regrets
Slowly building up inside of me
But there are things that I believe in
Yeah, sacred things that I am keeping for you to see
Later when you need them, like a Christmas tree
Covered in light blue ornaments

I’ve got my starry
A weak imposter
Why did I think that this would do
I never knew dear how much I’d miss you
Why did you take my soda away
Sierra Mist
You are my soda
You made me happy when I’m thirsty
You’ll never know dear how much I missed you
Why did you take my soda away
I want to keep you
My golden nectar
But you have been ripped out of my grasp
Of how I mourn you
And adore you
Why did you take my soda away
Sierra Mist
You are my soda
You made me happy when I’m thirsty
You’ll never know dear how much I missed you
Why did you take my soda away
