| Avalanche or roadblock | |
| I was a snowball in hell | |
| Avalanche or roadblock | |
| A jailer trapped in his cell | |
| Money's all broke, and food's going hungry | |
| If it wasn't for disappointment | |
| I wouldn't have any appointments | |
| Side effect or drug trip | |
| Don't tease me with all of your might | |
| Side effect or drug trip | |
| My panacea's in a Xerox shop | |
| Have a nice day, you want it when? | |
| Have a nice day, have a nice day | |
| I didn't expect to find a salesman drinking coffee this late in the morning. How long you been here, Joe? | |
| Oh, I don't know, I guess thirty, forty-five minutes maybe. Why do you ask? | |
| You must be making a lot of sales, piling up good income. | |
| Oh... uh... I'm doing all right. I could do better, but... Ohahaha I get it Paul. Back on that old 'Time is Money' kick, right? | |
| Not back on it, Joe, still on it. | |
| Avalanche or roadblock | |
| I was a snowball in hell | |
| Avalanche or roadblock | |
| A jailer trapped in his cell | |
| Money I owe, money-iy-ay | |
| Money I owe, money-iy-ay | |
| Avalanche or roadblock | |
| I was a snowball in hell | |
| Notes | |
| The Frank O'Toole demo version adds more of the spoken dialogue ad nauseum as follows: | |
| Okay, okay | |
| Okay, okay, okay let's | |
| Okay, okay | |
| Okay, okay, okay let's | |
| Okay, okay | |
| Okay, okay, okay let's | |

| Money's all broke, and food's going hungry | |
| If it wasn't for disappointment | |
| I wouldn't have any appointments | |
| Did I affect your drug trip | |
| Don't tease me with all of your might | |
| Did I affect your drug trip | |
| You threw my wallet in the wishing well | |
| Have a nice day, you want it when? | |
| Have a nice day, have a nice day | |
