- Alice
You put your hair black in that magic black elastic
I'm powerless to pony tails who used to do gymnastics and I
Know you know you wanna dance
When I watch you smile and try to mask it
And stir your whiskey with the plastic
You're pitcher perfect in this light beer
- All In The Wrist
Wipe the knife and slice through another new head of iceberg
I serve more hors d’oeuvres to the trashcan than to any man where I work
Waste in this place is a terrible thing to mind, likewise time
And I’m sure stacking glasses in the back is a total waste of mine
But is it all just as small as it seems to be?
It’s obscene what the scenery costs when dreams are free
- bad day
I hope that the last the page of your 800-page novel is missing
And I hope that it rains if you leave the window down on your red Mustang
'Cause everyday ought to be a bad day for you
And if you drop your keys I hope there's a sewer somewhere very nearby
And if you're out of clean sheets I hope your new girl takes off and it's clear why
- Bed Spree
I'm in outer space on my side
of the bed
on a floating mattress my eyes
stare ahead
you don't sleep here anymore
hovering alarm clock is my
- Chelsea's Hotel
Fling the insulation in the dumpster
We’re expanding our empire of love for her
So tear it all down now, every building here
Most of all the skyscrapers of bitterness and fear
Rip the gypsum out and haul it all away
Level every structure down to the solid orange clay
Spread out the blueprints so we can start
To build a hotel on her heart
- Deep Sea Divers
You and i are deep sea divers on a task
little bubbles rising from your scuba mask
i can see your empty eyes are not alive, but shouldn’t they be?
you and i are sitting on the ocean floor
you were tired of swimming and you’re so bored
little yellow fish go past your sullen face, but shouldn’t you smile once in a while?
- Good To Lose
The new face of last place
The sidekick to the sidekick to a sidekick
But I’m so sick of you minding when it’s my thing
And you know it’s good to lose
I got a hot date with a lawn gnome
I’m gonna shop-at-home for carpet foam
- Last Cigarette
I'm leaving you this Tuesday, before I lose a lung
We can't break up halfway, so light the fuse and run
I'm leaving you this ashtray, to put beside the desk
'cause we can't break up halfway, and I am bored to death
Of you striking a match and cupping your hands
So I'm getting the patch, and making a plan
Well yeah but I could stand
- Moonlit
75 to life, if we settle down
What, what would be the point of living
If you’re not around
Consecutive sentences, served in suburbs
1000 reminders of how we were lovers
Yeah, you make me moonlit,
But it’s all gone dark now
I’m used to it
- My DNA
my dna is running out
i am not the guy who makes you smile now
and when we talk it’s not the same
but i already lost the gene for feeling pain
so i won’t cry
i will just pretend
i’m still the one
- Redshift
Spiral galaxies would turn in your eyes
When I came by with a small surprise
You loved all of my little quarks, so what went wrong?
Don’t superstring me along, come on
Was there a big bang that I just missed?
Did some explosion cause a redshift?
‘Cause you’re moving away from me but what did I do?
- The Bomb Song
The sky is green
It's been that way since they dropped the bomb
The clouds are brown
The city's a ghost town
The city is dead
The river's a bed now
The hair on my head came out
and fell on the ground
- The Coma Song
You've been lying in a hospital bed
7 days now you've been lost in you head
I'm just sitting here
Exhausted and dead
From watching you lay there
Oh I'd fall willingly down the stairs
If I could have
- Up In The Clouds
we used to walk up in the sky, up where the air is rarified
went hand in hand from cloud to cloud, but when i slipped up we fell out
and i'm sorry i let you down
down to the ground
