In The Middle Of A Scavenger Hunt
By: Noah Eaton
9/26/03

This is no ordinary program
This is no blame game
We're all like eggplant fairy players
Learning some Swahili lesson
About conscious bookkeeping


Life out of balance?
Earning no allowance?
A thousand basket cases
On first come, first served basis
Inside interior academic advisor
Walking on a wire for hire
For one-and-one consultations
Note the hours of operation
Monday-Friday nine till five
Declutter your life
Come work for me,
Get a free screening
Study abroad, you bump on a log
Think, plan, be safe
Third notice feng shui
Happy hour watchtower flower power
Birch bound secular sacrament going sour…

I'm in the middle of a scavenger hunt
Please tell me where I can find what I’m missing
I'm in the middle of a scavenger hunt
Please tell me where I can find what I’m missing

Accept no substitutes
Elude the magnitude
Nights and weekends nationwide,
get hooked up on the line
Roaming included
All alternatives secluded
Batteries excluded
0% interest
This offer I can’t resist
Looking for a perfect gift idea?
December 24th hysteria
Limited to stock on hand
Shoot it off like a rubber band
Defining moment is happening
The rest is history
All present is accounted for
Watch that screen door
Beat about the bush, beat around the bush
Square peg in a round hole
Can’t get out, oh no
Cut through the red tape, close shave,
Fair game, flat as a pancake
Go through with a fine tooth comb
And it's all been sold…

I'm in the middle of a scavenger hunt
Please tell me where I can find what I’m missing
I'm in the middle of a scavenger hunt
Please tell me where I can find what I’m missing
I'm in the middle of a scavenger hunt
Please tell me where I can find what I’m missing
I'm in the middle of a scavenger hunt
Please tell me where I can find what I’m missing

Which side is my bread buttered on
Let bygones by bygones
Quick Draw McGraw, last straw
Elastic long arm of the law
Walls have ears, skies have tears
Whys and wherefores aren’t welcome here
Upset the apple cart
And everything else tastes tart
Turn a blind eye, turn a deaf ear
What do you hear?
What do I hear?

I'm in the middle of a scavenger hunt
Please tell me where I can find what I’m missing
I'm in the middle of a scavenger hunt
Please tell me where I can find what I’m missing
I'm in the middle of a scavenger hunt
Please tell me where I can find what I’m missing
I'm in the middle of a scavenger hunt
Please tell me where I can find what I’m missing

I'm in the middle of a scavenger hunt
Please tell me where I can find what I’m missing
I'm in the middle of a scavenger hunt
Please tell me where I can find what I’m missing...


I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth
I can see the sun set and I perceive

***Live***
