'''I’ve Got Some Falling to Do''' is the fourteenth track on [[Hip to the Javabean]]. This is the first of [[Lemon Demon]]’s songs to be played on the [[Dr. Demento]] show, after a fan referred the Doctor to [[Andrew Kepple]]’s Flash music video of the song.

==Lyrics ==
<nowiki> In an airplane, I was flying
Just a flight attendant guy
I can be clumsy, and I stumbled
Out the door into the sky
Now I am falling through the air
Wind and regret flow through my hair
All I can do right now is stare down at the ocean

Suddenly, there’s a ring in my cell phone. I pick it up
It's the Angel of Death, and he says 'Wazzup?'
I say, 'What is it this time?'
And he's like, 'Well, hello, goodbye, I'll see you in hell.'
He can be like that sometimes, he's such a nut
So I snicker and say, 'I'd love to, but
Gravity's calling, I've got some falling to do.'

I'm in a state of shock, but it's something new
I guess it all depends on your point of view. It's true

This is boring. Yes I'm falling
But it's taking quite a while
My destination is impending
Might as well go out in style
I put my arms out to the skies
Whistle a tune and close my eyes
Trying to briefly realize perpetual motion

Suddenly, giant tentacles rise from the open sea
And with total precision they lasso me
It's a monstrous squid and he saved my life
But I am too freaked out to be nice
So I tell him the truth, that I'd rather fall
No offense but at least it's predictable
Gotta stop stalling, I've got some falling to do

I'm probably gonna die, but it's something new
I guess it all depends on your point of view. It's true</nowiki>

==Trivia==
*There was an earlier version of this song released in which there is no sped up (but slowing down, like a record being turned off) guitar before the main song begins.
*The guitar solo at the end of the song, when played backwards, sounds like the solo when played forwards. It is a sonic palindrome.
*The video’s protagonist, [[Guy Falling]], is later featured in the videos for [[Fiberglass Monkey]] and [[Bad Idea]].
*When this song is played [[live]], it is always one of the last songs. Its position on [[Hip to the Javabean]] reflects this.

'''Your Evil Shadow Has a Cup of Tea''' is the fifth track on [[Hip to the Javabean]]

==Lyrics==
<nowiki>Five days in a watery cave
Another song for the day that I take to the grave
I gotta be the first to see the specter
Everybody want to be friends with the nectar protector
Seventeen skulls in a hole in the woods
Already know of the low down, but not of the goods
We can't see but lo and behold her
It's funny how we think with our heads when the shoulder is colder

This is the truth about it, you'll learn to never doubt it
The whole affair is shrouded in living mystery
So what goes on in your tree
When all you know is your evil shadow has a cup of tea?

Back in elementary school
There was a kid we knew, we considered him cool
And when his eyes turned red, the principal said
He was gonna go mad from the things in his head
Seventeen days later somebody told us there was no more school
And the principal sold us to the ice cream shop down the street
Where it seemed there was nothing they'd let us eat
So we screamed:

This is the truth about it, you'll learn to never doubt it
The whole affair is shrouded in living mystery
So what goes on in your tree
When all you know is your evil shadow has a cup of tea?

It's never too late
To take the chance of a lifetime under the weight
Of life, and chance, and death
And it's never too far out, we don't know how the sun became a star
They say it's always been that way
But I'll be damned if that's the case
We'd love to have you as our guest this afternoon
We'll get the kettle ready, hope you show up soon

We can talk about life, we can talk about death
We can talk about film, we can talk about chess
We can talk about the faceless evil shadow creatures underneath our clothes
We can talk about the government conspiracies
And circumvent the challenges that represent our foes

It's never my fault, take what I say with a big fat grain of salt
(And take.. my fears.. away)
We never will break out, and we'll leave not one thing in our wake
They say it's always been that way

This is the truth about it, you'll learn to never doubt it
The whole affair is shrouded in living mystery
So what goes on in your tree
When all you know is your evil shadow has a cup of tea?
This is the truth about it, you'll learn to never doubt it
The whole affair is shrouded in living mystery
So what goes on in your tree
When all you know is your evil shadow has a cup of tea?
Your evil shadow has a cup of tea
Your evil shadow has a cup of tea
Your evil shadow has a cup of tea</nowiki>

'''Bill Watterson''' is the 29th track and the 17th non-transition track on [[View-Monster]].

It is a completely revamped and rerecorded version of the [[Dinosaurchestra]] [[Bill Watterson (Dinosaurchestra)|bonus track of the same name]].

Its lyrics are written from the perspective of someone stalking ''Bill Watterson'', the notoriously reclusive creator of the comic strip ''Calvin & Hobbes.''

== Lyrics ==
Where’d you go when you were done?
I’d like to know what you’ve become.
Your biggest fan, awake at dawn,
I cry, I stand on your front lawn.

It’s plain to see you’re scared of me,
But that’s not how it’s supposed to be,
when you’re the reason I’m in town,
and every piece of mind you put down…

Don’t you know I think you’re the cat’s meow?
Where’s the tiger now? Where’s the tiger now?

Bill Watterson, can’t you hear me?
Bill Watterson, please don’t fear me.
Don’t treat me like I have rabies,
I only wanna have your babies.

Tracing lines with fingertips,
I saw the signs within these strips.
And through the fog, between the frames
of dialogue, I saw my name.

And now I know where I must go,
to show you that I love you so.
So I brought books for you to sign,
and I brought shears to cut your phone line.

Don’t you know I think you’re the cat’s meow?
Where’s the tiger now? Where’s the tiger now?

Bill Watterson, can’t you hear me?
Bill Watterson, please don’t fear me.
Don’t stare at me from your window.
I know you wanna let me in…

…though, oh!
You want me to show
how much I believe and
prove how far I’ll go to meet you,
through thunderstorms and snow…
Well I would do anything.
And oh!
I happen to know
the reason you’re hiding
from publicity.
It’s not out of eccentricity,
but rather for privacy
when you meet me.

And when we meet I’ll be complete.
I’ll shake your hand and kiss your feet,
confess my love and buy you flowers.
And eat your heart and absorb your powers.

Don’t you know I think you’re the cat’s meow?
Oh-oh-oh.
Where’s the tiger now? Where’s the tiger now?
Oh oh oh oh!

Bill Watterson, can’t you hear me?
Bill Watterson, please don’t fear me.
Don’t run from me like I’m Jason.
I only wanna try your face on.
