The Ballad of Season 19

Season 19

LYRICS:


Well Edgar is dead there is nothing to say

Nothing Mike can do will make it okay

There’s nothing to do to return him to form

Better to stay home and hang out with Norm


Mike kills a spider inside of his house

He carries it with him whenever he’s out

Michael thinks he’d do better out of the home

So Mike goes to Texas, down to bluster’s grove


Tex has an idea of what’s going on

He sends Mike to Yellowknife to live on a farm

The Yellowknife folks don’t like Mike's plan

So they break his calculator, no more numbers, man


Mike escapes back to Bluster’s Grove

He’s been living as stock with the numbers alone

The lost year is gone, it’s burned in the past

Tex pushed mike right into a vat


It’s better to let these things go

But mike can’t keep well enough alone


There’s talks at the tavern of a rerack today

But Tex gets dethroned and Mike is set free

A is in charge, he’s cracking the whip

Outlaw and Bluster are now wanted men


Mike is retired after such a long trip

He piles up the past to try and get over it

Base is continuing correcting the time

Mike sleeps through a conference and steps on a spider


Meanwhile Al is the king of the crabs

He puts down a mutiny with a wave of his hands

Lieutenant swears revenge and you know that he’ll get it

Operose will be back if Mike will just let it


Ty visits Mike to make a house call

Acting like he doesn’t want anything at all

He makes Mike promise he won’t do something drastic

Mike tells Ty he can kiss his asscheek



It’s better to let these things go

But mike can’t keep well enough alone


Mike starts to blink when he’s at the compound

Destabilized timelines are going around

And Norm gets too close to remain in the fold

Bradford and Stinky take over his home


Stinky plays dumb, Mike blinks out

Mike is getting desperate for help right now

He begs Michael for guidance, Michael says yep

He proves Mike will become him, cuts off his fingertip


Edgar blinks out inside a correction

He cannot avoid Operose’s detection

Everyone is trying to remember him alive

But Mike is determined he will never die


Lieutenant’s set free, he sends Al to Ty

Al sends Mike to yellowknife and then al’s sent to die

Lieutenant kills A and frees Tex from the vats

He sends Edman to Yellowknife where Mike is at


It’s better to let these things go

But mike can’t keep well enough alone


Bradford sends Mike to Norm, he don’t remember a thing

Mike transports in the room and ruins everything

He meets the cured Edgar and chooses to save him

The iteration storm stars, cue the mayhem


But what about the lost year, that voice that we heard?

Is it fated to stay buried in the dirt?

Now that Mike initiated the storm

What will become of the Mikes that are born?


Is Operose now a foregone conclusion

That Mike founded it to keep Edgar elusive

And maybe the most important question of all

Will the Matt Pack get screentime in this season at all?


It’s better to let these things go

But mike can’t keep well enough alone
