I live on the 15th floor
There's a little man outside my door
He says he feels like banana peels
And it makes him laugh when I fall down
When I Fall Down
I gotta friend who understands
She's all stretched out like rubber bands
She never knows where she's gonna go
But shes happy when, she drives around
With the windows down
I live on the 15th floor
There's a little man outside my door
He says he feels like banana peels
And it makes him laugh when I fall down
When I Fall Down
[ instrumental ]
I live on the 15th floor
There's a little man outside my door
He says he feels like banana peels
And it makes him laugh when I fall down
I live on the 15th floor
There's a little man outside my door
He says he feels like banana peels
And it makes him laugh when I fall down
I live on the 15th floor
There's a little man outside my door
He says he feels like banana peels
And it makes him laugh when I fall down

Manchild to base, come in, over
We seem to have some sort of a situation here at the club
Were not really sure what it is, ahh, but it is picking up all the
ladies
Ahh, it appears to be some sort of Alpha Male
Request back up
Hey wait, maybe I should be dumb
Start sucking on my thumb
Get really into my hair
Dance like Im into Cher
I know it's not supposed to be fair
I no longer care
And I refuse to fail
Gonna be your Alpha Male
Yeah, Yeah
Be your Alpha Male
Boom Shucka Uckla
Boom Shucka Uckla
Give me the reasons, I've heard it all before
I'd be cuter if I wasn't so short
But you won't be so sure
When we're walking out the door
I know it's not supposed to be fair
I no longer care
And I refuse to fail
Gonna be your Alpha Male
Yeah, Yeah
Be your Alpha Male
[ instrumental ]
Gonna be your Alpha Male
Yeah Yeah
Be your Alpha Male
Be your Alpha Male

while and put back, on

removed
was because "some
of the vocals were bad and he wanted to fix it". If anyone
managed to download a copy of the original version back then
- you have a
collector's item.

Hi, we're on, cool
I'm big enough to reach the door
I'm young enough, but I'm still bored
I'm unimpressed
I'm under whelmed
I'm underdressed
I look like hell
I exist in multiple forms
I project my will
I can feel your weight
I can be seen from space
Nobody else is stronger than I am
Yesterday I moved a mountain
I bet I could be your hero
I am a mighty little man
I am revised
I am brand new
I try not - I do - or I do not
I'm indomitable
Walking down the street like I'm 40 feet tall
I have drawn form appropriate sources
I am louder than bombs
Nobody else is stronger than I am
Yesterday I moved a mountain
I bet I could be your hero
I am a mighty little man
Nobody else is stronger than I am
Yesterday I moved a mountain
I bet I could be your hero
I am a mighty little man
I am a mighty little man
I am a mighty little man
[ instrumental ]
can I?....can I play?....can I?....can I play too?
I'm old enough to understand
I APPROVE OF WHAT I AM
I am informed
I am aware
I fill the screen
But I'm not there
I am proof of negative space
I am sleep deprived
I can juggle fire
I have my mother's eyes
Nobody else is stronger than I am
Yesterday I moved a mountain
I bet I could be your hero
I am a mighty little man
Nobody else is stronger than I am
Yesterday I moved a mountain
I bet I could be your hero
I am a mighty little man
I am a mighty little man
I am a mighty little man
I am a mighty little man
I am a mighty little man
I am a mighty little man |

well. here's the story. the "original"
Mighty Little Man wasn't ever really intended to be a song. It
was an exercise I was doing to learn how to use my music editing
software. If you listen closely you can tell it is just one two
chord loop over and over. I put words to it because I wanted to
test my new microphones! LOL... Anyway the chorus stayed with me
(catchy...ain't it?). I went to Tarbox Road studios and I
"wrote" the rest of the music and words in Fredonia. The new one
is less autobiographical. |

Story Behind the Song
-------------------------------------------
took about 2 hours to do, start to finish. Written mostly about
a "relationship" a friend of mine "almost had." Check out the
slide whistle. I Auto-Tuned it (that's pitch correction
software), and played it live. I was getting sick of those drum
loop sample things, so I sniffed and coughed and hit the back of
my guitar. Not the best production ever, but hopefully it's ...
disarming and sincere. Or awful and inexcusable

[ instrumental 1:14 minutes ]
No I will not go quietly
I object wholeheartedly
So do as you must
Shoot your darts
Put me to sleep
Just give me a head start
I've seen enough my eyes are full
I've seen enough my eyes are full
So what do you do when it's all done
Where do you go when you're all gone
Where do you go when you're all gone
Where do you go when you're all gone
When you're all gone
When you're all gone
When you're all gone
When you're all gone

Look out man here she comes
For the love of God
I think I don't know what to say
Cause she walked in and the badness went away
She walked in with the light around her hair
I should mind my business but I think I'm gonna stare
So come on
Talk to me
You need a reason
Well I could give you one hundred and three
Awww come on
Go with me
'Tis the season
And I think you should have Dirty Hair Breakfast with me
I came in that way
But I won't leave alone
Can't help but feel that you're not really on your phone
You'd like me better if I could get you home
We'd get it on, bang a gong, get it on...
[laugh] ooppss
So come on
Talk to me
You need a reason
Well I could give you one hundred and three
So come on
Go with me
'Tis the season
I want you to have Dirty Hair Breakfast with meeeeeeeeeeeeee

So pleeeaaaasssse
Go with me
I'm on my kneeeees
And I said please

Dirty Hair Breakfast was never really a "song"
intended for my
record. It was written as a demo for a
co-worker's independent
dv short which never really happened. It was sort of an
exercise...
it took about 3 hours and was very fun- but I don't think of it
as
one of my songs

I'm

And I dig up 10 percent of what I bury
In the park
My
best friend's a rat, a cat and a weasel
We got rabies, bubonic plague and the measles
In the park
I got
the best nest in the old oak tree
So come on up and squirrel with me
In the dark

So

Look at my fleassssssssss
