Hey milo!
Where d ya go
To change
the way you did
You went through
A magic tollbooth to
A road for a better way to live
The sign said ...
Choose your destination
You went ..
To save rhyme and reason
And they are...
Two special girls
And how...
I dunno but it changed your world
Hey milo!
Where d ya go
To change
the way you did
I wanna go through
A magic tollbooth too
A road for a better way to live
Hey milo!
Where d ya go
To change
the way you did
Can you get me through
A magic tollbooth too
A road for a better way to live
I want one
Tollbooth at my house
And two
therapeutic pals
us three
Will save the kingdom
Like be-4
They lost rhyme and reason
You met a floating boy who saw the other side of things
You saw the sun rise when the orchestra starts to sings
You got a bitter taste from words used out of season
Just Change collected on the way to rhyme and reason
Hey Milo
I want to go
Change the way you did
I wanna new head space
Way outta this place
To find a better way to live

NOT THAT FAR TO FALL
WE WILL BE BORN AGAIN
WITH NEW EYES POINTING TO THE EARTH
NOT THAT FAR TO FALL
FALL
FALL
WE WANT THIS CHANCE AGAIN
SURROUND OURSELVES W/ THOSE WHO TAKE OUR HAND
NOT THAT HARD TO CALL
CALL
CALL
I WONDER WHERE YOU ARE WHEN YOU’RE LOOKING AT ME
YOU’RE UP IN THE CLOUDS AND I’M CAUGHT IN A TREE
I WONDER WHERE YOU ARE WHEN YOU’RE LOOKING AT ME
I’M UP IN THE CLOUDS AND YOU’RE CAUGHT IN A TREE
I NEED YOU AND YOU NEED ME
I NEED YOU AND YOU NEED ME
I NEED YOU AND YOU NEED ME
WITH NEW EYES WE CAN SEE
THAT’S IT’S NOT THAT FAR TO FALL
FALL
FALL

Yes, people are stupid; they sought to be smart.
Yes, people should finish the things that they start.
Yes, noises are ugly. They ought to be sweet.
Yes, birds can be messy. I wish they were neat.
But I jump to conclusions, and I'm usually right.
I jumped to a conclusion when I read your book the other night.
You seem judgmental, and I guess it's true,
because if little kids get bored sometimes, Juster,
what's it to you?
I looked at the building you designed for some town.
The siding was tacky, and the windows faced down.
Now who is the dummy and who is the wise?
Bet even Milo knows that windows should point to the skies.
I jump to conclusions. It saves so much time.
You made a building without reason or rhyme.
Oh, you seemed untalented, but you're free to be
because if you like making crappy architecture and you want to pick on some poor kid who's just hanging out,
what's it to me?

You learn more by being wrong for the right reasons
than you do by being right for the wrong reasons.
You learn more by being wrong for the right reasons
than you do by being right for the wrong reasons.
Say the sisters, say the sisters
Rhyme and reason
Say the sisters, say the sisters
They ought to know
Say the sisters, say the sisters
We ought to free them.
Free the sisters; free the sisters
So Wisdom can grow.
You may not see it now, but everything you learn has purpose.
There’s so much going on than what you see just at the surface.
The fly flaps its wings to make a breeze
The earth feels your weight when you fall to your knees.
When you laugh, gladness spreads in a ripple
When you’re sad, it’s harder to laugh just a little
When you learn something the whole world is richer
So learn a lot, learn a lot, learn a lot
we’ll all be millionaires. We’ll all be filthy rich, we’ll all be loaded, richer than Phillip Drummond
You learn more by being wrong for the right reasons
than you do by being right for the wrong reasons.
Say the sisters, say the sisters
Rhyme and reason
Say the sisters, say the sisters
They ought to know
Say the sisters, say the sisters
We ought to free them.
Free the sisters; free the sisters
and Wisdom will grow.

Milo's Wild Joyride
Take a look around you
Seek what you would find
Look a little closer
Open your eyes
Greatest expectation
Wild imagination
There's a Rhyme and Reason
In an ordinary day
The more you know, The more you know you know
It's all in how you look at things
And... knew it all the time
The road leads further
As far
Know the answer
Know just why it matters
Let the definition
Change your mind
Paint a brighter picture
One word at a time
Down with silence
Say what's on your mind
Milo, Time to come back home
Time to end this wild joyride
And ... knew it all the time
The road leads you further
As far as you like

Conclusions
A portal appeared, walked through the door
Abandoned the land I knew before
On the other side, rhyme and reason in chains
Trapped in confusion’s foothills and plains
Out the demons came, always close behind
They had a mission: to invade our minds
From every cave and crevice, in want of absolution
Destroy intruders, protect our delusions
Goodbye, goodbye and hello, my dear
You evaporate as quickly as you appear
Please, please, please return it if you find my way
Got lost in expectations, where we spent a foolish day
Castle in the sky, inside imagination
sought it out together, curiosity piqued
Tearing at the truth, teeth of exaggeration
And from our lifeboat, possibility leaked
Swam in the sea of knowledge, and still you came out dry
Displayed all your angles, revealed all your sides
Up ahead the road’s divided into three
I’m taking the high one
Goodbye, goodbye and hello, my dear
You evaporate as quickly as you appear
Please, please, please return it if you find my way
Got lost in expectations, where we spent a foolish day
I’m bleeding on your point of view
But I won’t live inside these wounds
I can’t move inside this skin
Take your conclusions
And wrap them up in bandages

The Bushwick Book Club Brooklyn, New York
We started in January 2009 playing songs written in response to Kurt Vonnegut's Breakfast of Champions. We haven't stopped since. We've written & performed songs inspired by everything from "On The Origin of Species" to Dr. Seuss to Raymond Carver. There are BBCs popping up nationwide now. Bushwick Book Club Seattle started in 2010 & is run by Geoff Larson. Our nerdy dare-devilry knows no bounds. ... more
