I follow you,
Overboard
Black angels in the clouds
If it comes to
Evolution
If it comes true
Resolution
I’ll go to hell
If it means I get to
See you, talk to you
And it’s just as well
If it’s screams of paranoia,
Dog bite show and tell
Right down to the
If it comes to
Destitution
If it comes true
Revolution
I’ll go to hell
If it means I get to
See you, talk to you
And it’s just as well
If it’s screams of paranoia,
Dog bite show and tell
Right down to the

Boil
02:45
|

I boil away,
Becoming condensation on
Your hot, sweaty face
Your rearview mirrors in the fog
I love drifting away from my friends
I love walking out when the movie begins
It keeps me cynical,
It keeps me beautiful
I boil away,
I am alive, I am but one
Big, tiny mistake
I am a particle of God
A trip in the dark,
I’ve fallen prone to the night
A trip in the park,
Becoming close to the light

On Ice
03:15

Ramona came over last night,
She gave me head and a cold,
Head and a cold
Dreamed that I love a good fight,
My hands they flew through the air,
Landed square between his eyes
Now my head’s on ice,
I’ve got awful sight
Led me through the sewers,
Told ‘em, “Yeah, I’m sure”
“This is how we do business,”
Well, I’ll have no part of it,
“This is how we live life,”
Then I’ll serve as the knife,
I’ll come fast in the night
Now my head’s on ice,
I’m an awful sight
Led me through the sewers,
Told ‘em, “Yeah, I’m sure”
Dreamed that we never got told
We went like silver and gold
Bought and then sold me online
It comes with the times
And goes through the rotating door
Yeah, I’ll hail a taxi for four
Bloodsucking, carnival-shoe-wearing
Jet Blue Reward Cards
Shit-slinging Animal Farm
Electric chair dynamo charm
Advertisements to wear on your arms
Asshats backwards face forwards
Listen, be calm
Wells Fargo says everything’s fine
My mom’s mortgage sure secured a job for me
Family affairs is a hobby
I’ll piss where I float and before sinking maybe I’ll bob
Now my head’s on ice,
I’m an awful sight
Led them through the sewers,
Told ‘em, “Yeah, I’m sure”

Beautiful Arrangement
02:51
|

You are a beautiful arrangement that’s happened to me
A beautiful arrangement that’s happening now,
Happened before, now to all of us
When you’re thrown into this world
It’s not easy to live according to principle
You’ll know it firsthand, and I’ll know it second
Again and again
‘Little bit of this
‘Little bit of that
‘Little bit o’ Ramona, lying on her back
‘Little bit do we know, what the hell we’re here for
But my guess is both of us know that
When we meet up at night it ain’t pure
Yeah, it’s hard to be a functioning man
Yeah, it’s hard to be a functioning man
Yeah, I’m a man
Not the sex or the gender,
But part of a species,
A soul trapped inside of a body,
William Blake tried to explain it to me,
But I didn’t understand fully
Love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love
‘Little bit of this
‘Little bit of that
‘Little bit o’ Aidan, talking ‘bout the past
‘Little bit my dad knows, preacher placebo,
I’ve been taking classes in the woods
And he said he’s gon’ keep his mouth closed
Love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love
You are a beautiful arrangement that’s happened to me
A beautiful arrangement that’s happening now,
Happened before, now to all of us

Last Night's Dreams
03:39

On my way to class,
I ask the lady,
At the gas station,
To help me
Find the healthier option
It was vegan,
It was corn-based,
And non-GMO
Oh my God
Now I’m at the beach,
With Julie O’Keefe,
And some friendly, strangers
What the hell could that mean?
I ’dunno, don’t ask me
But I liked it, and that’s just how life is
So I’ll try and enjoy it
Ooh,
Not spend all my time, worrying about
Stupid bullshit
Sweet nectar of maple tree
Look at all the hummingbirds outside
You and I, let's shoot the breeze
Pick the fireflies like roses, outside

Lizards in the Sun
04:20
|

Like lizards in the sun
Like old men
On lawn chairs
Like teenaged girls on grass
Like lizards in the sun
Like old folks
With no money
Like headaches that won’t pass
A man without his gun
Like a woman
Without child
They said it wouldn’t last
It’s one-hundred-and-one
And it’s winning,
Running while
I speed into the past
And I love it all
If life is but a sum
Then my love is
A halfpenny
And you, dear, are a dime
A beating of the drum
When one is
More than many
It happens all the time
And I love it all
Like lizards in the sun

Whaler

And when I woke,
The Martian said
I am asshole for some messages
She’d thoroughly misread
I’ve made a note,
Up in my head
She’ll be the last postmodern prodigy
I ever take to bed
I dissociate on contact with emotion
Like an ocean, calm before the storm...
Agreeable but never warm
[Ooh]
I always knew,
This was about more than,
More than my use of words, to
Figure out,
The way you shut yours ears
And close your mouth
With eyes wide open
As if to speak to me,
And in their pale, steely blue relate
Misinformation breeds conceit
It brings stagnation
And accompanies cold feet
[Ooh]
I dissociate on contact with emotion
Like an ocean, miles from the shore...
Deep as it gets, yet unexplored

Autumn Leaves
05:13
|
|||
Trapped in your harlequin head,
Those crickets singing
Their same old song again
Every day breaks with a frown
Must be the one she dawns
When I’m around
But darling, dusk’s here now
Your future looks pretty dim
Not as dim as
[You]
Now that the past’s been berated,
Glad to know we’ve both moved on
From pretending things sacred
My heart’s been drained in the drought
I might as well head for LA
‘Cause it’s getting cold out
Not so cold as
[You]
But I could swear, a moment ago
I saw that Persian rug beneath my feet
Sweat-soaked-through mattress,
I awaken from the wet dream
But what’s this?
Heavy breathing
A mass, a mess of flesh and bones
With pheromones excreting
Oh could you please tell me
Who is this manic-depressive Sapiens splayed out before me?
Hey, hold my phone while
Autumn leaves
Just when I thought
My luck had run out
Autumn leaves

Reeling
04:33
|
|||
You’re so sure that you don’t want to see me
That’s one thing you’re sure of
‘Cause you need to let me know
Whether to forget you
As if I could
If I could
I’ll take your silence for a blow
One that sends me reeling
I’ve handed out enough of those
To know I know the feeling
And it feels good
It feels good
This is our last song
This is my last dance
You could sing along
You could say I missed my chance
Clearly I was wrong
Clearly you’re a lance
Through my ribs into my heart
Dying never saved a man
As if I could
If I could
