lyrics

time attack
second album lost on the vinyl rack
two decades later here's the title track
2001 pre 9-11 lots of vital chat
like, when's the new jay drop and are the bulls getting michael back?
greenie's talking some crazy bread
enjoying some sophisticated dialogue with some platonic lady friends
out from the warehouse door pops spanky's head
he said "did the floor guy just say the thing i think he said?"
old song says careful of the stones you throw
and it's a line you tow between do-si-don't and do-si-do
loziers up, just a couple rows to go
then the boys are going camping in wisconsin, dont you know
tree season
buy one get one free season
stuff one into the back of a grand prix season
it's christmas eve man i'm not mopping restrooms
i'm playing dock hockey with packing tape and pushbrooms

now who's that guy with the big machine
gonna buff them tiles till the tiles are clean
he's a man with a plan - know what i mean?
he's the buffest buffer on the buffin' scene

the floorman, floorman, floorman, floorman
go on say it again
the floorman, floorman, floorman, floorman
yesiree bob that's him

go on and testify
make those endcaps electrify
you never know which corporate mole you'll be questioned by
he'll say "will this display catch the attention of the average guy?"
i say, "i don't know man, i've never really had an average eye"
i'm about to make like a stranger and wayfare
you know who's gotta pick up lil trey from daycare
lite rock, 8:00, must be time for delilah - hey there
that's all of us, kinda - find a comfort zone and stay there
shop's in a cash crisis
it's mix master z, quit slashing beats, time to slash prices
got some bad vices
the whole thing tastes like a sauce made from bland spices
go on state your mission
decoration addiction
you're in luck - we got some late additions
so if the competition can't accommodate your greater vision
call the emporium and ask for the holiday division
