The Summer is past
But your days keep growing longer
There’s no wind in your sails
But the storm’s blowing stronger
Walking hard
Standing tall
Keeping your head up through it all
Fighting fires
Spinning plates
Goodness, how’d it get it so late?
Lay your head down and dream
Lay your head down and dream
Just let your mind float downstream
Sprawled out in a moonbeam
Lay your head down and dream
Joe Hills is filmed before a live streaming audience

Lectern / Full Cauldron
03:26

I want a girl who will mine for her diamonds
I want a girl who can sort a chest
I want a girl with shears that cut
And swords that burn through zombie flesh
I want a girl who knows world generation
Who crafts, furrows, and times her attack
She’s modding her community
She’s flying through the air
She’s smelting out impurities
And feeding her cat
I want a girl with a lectern and a full cauldron
I want a girl who logs in early
I want a girl who plays til late
I want a girl with unobstructed creativity
Who uses a tripwire, to ruin your day
With shulker boxes organized and lustrous
And a tone that will torch you like desert grass
Who crafts, furrows, and times her attack
She’s smelting out impurities
And feeding her cat
I want a girl with a lectern and a full, full cauldron
I want a girl whose shield is emblazoned
I want a girl with good enchantments
On some server we will meet incidentally
We’ll start to talk as we shoot skeletons
She wants a spawn with biome convenience
She wants a spawn that’s in good repair
She’s changing her aim from wither to dragon
She’s trading her archery for a trident that’s self-repairin’
I want a girl with a lectern and a full cauldron

Yeah, you’re gonna take my course just to save your soul
We’re gonna try to get ethical
You’re gonna take my course just to save my soul
We’re gonna try to get ethical
I’ve got the treatises by Kant
Anything I want
Janet brought the chalk
Are you listening or not?
Writing on the board
Your morals are quite poor
We deserve The Good Place
You’ve just gotta pass this course now
My tummy feels kind of crummy
You should probably study
Tummy feels kind of crummy
You should probably study
Writin’ up my treatise
Drinking almond sweetness
Think I love my soulmate
She loves margaritas
My life is a quandary
Wish she’d do her laundry
We’ve got some camaraderie
Unlike Jason and Tahani
Tummy feels kind of crummy
You should probably study
Tummy feels kind of crummy
You should probably study
Yeah, you’re gonna take my course just to save your soul
We’re gonna try to get ethical
You’re gonna take my course just to save my soul
We’re gonna try to get ethical
I lied, shrimp fly, mother forking shirt balls
Spent my whole life living like a Bad Janet jerk-wad
Chidi’s got a habit: teleology and Kierkegaard
Writing down “Plato” in my nightmarish clown hut
Mike can’t guess that I’m truly bad
He can kiss my ash, I’m a full trash bag
Hope I can ace this course and save my soul
I‘m gonna try to get ethical
Yeah, you’re gonna take my course just to save your soul
We’re gonna try to get ethical
You’re gonna take my course just to save my soul
We’re gonna try to get ethical

Deep Into Undermountain
02:30
|
|||
One evening as the sun went down
And our cooking coals were glowing
Down the path came a party hiking
And they said, “Folks, we’re all going
We’re yearning for a portal far away
In a tavern full of shoutin’
So join us, friends, and let’s descend
Deep into Undermountain!”
Deep into Undermountain
There run dungeons hot and cold
Where the monsters surge in pushes
And the youngest runes are old
Where the mimics all lie waiting
And the goblin werebats roost
All the wisps and wasps
And the mezzoloths
The hidden pit
Where we’ll all plummet
Deep into Undermountain
Deep into Undermountain
All our blades will sing like choirs
As our arrows strike like drumbeats
And our green flame pops in pyres
Our barbarian will stomp a brute
As the rogues dance shadowplay
O we’re sworn to go
At a great tempo
We’ll chant our spells
As we now delve
Deep into Undermountain
Deep into Undermountain
You’ll always find new gear
And your old mundane accouterment
Can be handed down, don’t fear
The magic items you’ll attune
And the artifacts you’ll find
There’s armor with gems
And weird potions
And a propeller hat
That lets you ascend
Deep into Undermountain
Deep into Undermountain
The Mad Wizard stood gates
So folks can open portals
He left clues to activate
He has a thing for puzzles
And he likes to throw his voice
We’re going to delve
To where he dwells
To the lowest tower
To seek his power
Deep into Undermountain
I’ll see you there, the lowest lair
Deep into Undermountain

Light green felt is hanging from the wall
We stocked up on all the alcohol
Gonna get streamin’, streaming for folks

The green dress, oh, let’s lift a brew
Toast the green screen dress, cheers to neon you
Neon you
Let’s mine in game where we can swing some picks
Let’s strike diamonds, attach them to some sticks
Folk’s ain’t here for singing, they wanna watch us play
Let’s give ‘em all a show for Saint Patty’s Day
The green screen dress, to celebrate Saint Pat
The green screen dress, it chroma keys like that!
The green dress, oh, let’s lift a brew,
Toast the green screen dress, cheers to neon you

It’s absurdity in RPG form
Tycho Brahe’s behind creased cardboard
But you don’t pull up chairs for humor, do you?
You shouldn’t miss this guy, K’thriss
He shakes a stone, there’s light eldritch
Compelling you, the viewers, to hit the merch store
Hit the merch store, hit the merch store
Hit the merch store, hit the merch store
Walnut’s grove is gone, which sucks for a Druid
Plus Maelith’s strong, but Nut’s wising to it
Sigils on the cave walls stabbed like daggers
She took wolf form and she howled aloud
She bit at K’thriss and she snapped her snout
And by her instincts led you to the merch store
Hit the merch store, hit the merch store
Hit the merch store, hit the merch store
Rosie, she’s shopped there before
All her grandkids get gifts from this store
Little halflings with Acq. Inc. pins playing footloose
I’ve seen them picnic beneath the stars
Wearing their bright Dark magic scarves
It’s a one-stop shop for birthdays at the merch store
Hit the merch store, hit the merch store
Hit the merch store, hit the merch store
Donnar’s a paladin, Dragonborn
Who treats ev’rybody else with scorn
But you know that they all deserve it, don’t you?
He gains entitlement from bits
Or so Jerry claims, so I guess it fits
And they both expect you all to hit the merch store
Hit the merch store, hit the merch store
Hit the merch store, hit the merch store
Maybe there are gods beyond
Whose tendrils shift their waking pawns
But Jerry kind of seems like he has got this
Except the times when the phones light up
And ideas arise then outright erupt
And Jerry’s gone volcanic cursing Rothfuss
What now, Rothfuss? Come on, Rothfuss
Ignore Rothfuss, gosh darn Rothfuss
Dang it, Rothfuss, my game, Rothfuss
Go home, Rothfuss, shut up, Rothfuss
Flippin’ Rothfuss, let’s not do this
Hit the merch store, Hit the merch store

What's Left of Sam McGee
08:31
|
|||
There are strange things done in the midnight sun
By the men who moil for gold
The Arctic trails have their secret tales
That would make your blood run cold
The Northern Lights have seen strange sights
But the strangest they ever did see
Was that night on the marge of Lake Lebarge
I cremated Sam McGee.
Now Sam McGee was from Tennessee, where the cotton blooms and blows
Why he left his home in the South to roam 'round the Pole, God only knows
He was always cold, but the land of gold seemed to hold him like a spell
Though he'd often say in his homely way that he'd sooner live in hell
On a Christmas Day we were mushing our way over the Dawson trail
Talk of your cold! through the parka's fold it stabbed like a driven nail
If our eyes we'd close, then the lashes froze till sometimes we couldn't see
It wasn't much fun, but the only one to whimper was Sam McGee
And that very night, as we lay packed tight in our robes beneath the snow
And the dogs were fed, and the stars o'erhead were dancing heel and toe
He turned to me, and "Cap," says he, "I'll cash in this trip, I guess
And if I do, I'm asking that you won't refuse my last request"
Well, he seemed so low that I couldn't say no; then he says with a sort of moan:
"It's the cursèd cold, and it's got right hold till I'm chilled clean through to the bone
Yet 'tain't being dead—it's my awful dread of the icy grave that pains
So I want you to swear that, foul or fair, you'll cremate my last remains"
A pal's last need is a thing to heed, so I swore I would not fail
And we started on at the streak of dawn; but God! he looked ghastly pale
He crouched on the sleigh, and he raved all day of his home in Tennessee
And before nightfall a corpse was all that was left of Sam McGee
There wasn't a breath in that land of death, and I hurried, horror-driven
With a corpse half hid that I couldn't get rid, because of a promise given
It was lashed to the sleigh, and it seemed to say: "You may tax your brawn and brains
But you promised true, and it's up to you to cremate those last remains"
Now a promise made is a debt unpaid, and the trail has its own stern code
In the days to come, though my lips were dumb, in my heart how I cursed that load
In the long, long night, by the lone firelight, while the huskies, round in a ring
Howled out their woes to the homeless snows— O God! how I loathed the thing
And every day that quiet clay seemed to heavy and heavier grow
And on I went, though the dogs were spent and the grub was getting low
The trail was bad, and I felt half mad, but I swore I would not give in
And I'd often sing to the hateful thing, and it hearkened with a grin
Till I came to the marge of Lake Lebarge, and a derelict there lay
It was jammed in the ice, but I saw in a trice it was called the "Alice May"
And I looked at it, and I thought a bit, and I looked at my frozen chum
Then "Here," said I, with a sudden cry, "is my cre-ma-tor-eum"
Some planks I tore from the cabin floor, and I lit the boiler fire
Some coal I found that was lying around, and I heaped the fuel higher
The flames just soared, and the furnace roared—such a blaze you seldom see
And I burrowed a hole in the glowing coal, and I stuffed in Sam McGee
Then I made a hike, for I didn't like to hear him sizzle so
And the heavens scowled, and the huskies howled, and the wind began to blow
It was icy cold, but the hot sweat rolled down my cheeks, and I don't know why
And the greasy smoke in an inky cloak went streaking down the sky
I do not know how long in the snow I wrestled with grisly fear
But the stars came out and they danced about ere again I ventured near
I was sick with dread, but I bravely said: "I'll just take a peep inside
I guess he's cooked, and it's time I looked," then the door I opened wide
And there sat Sam, looking cool and calm, in the heart of the furnace roar
And he wore a smile you could see a mile, and he said: "Please close that door
It's fine in here, but I greatly fear you'll let in the cold and storm
Since I left Plumtree, down in Tennessee, it's the first time I've been warm"
There are strange things done in the midnight sun
By the men who moil for gold
The Arctic trails have their secret tales
That would make your blood run cold
The Northern Lights have seen strange sights
But the strangest they ever did see
Was that night on the marge of Lake Lebarge
I cremated Sam McGee
