- Bored In The USA
How many people rise and say
"My brain's so awfully glad to be here
For yet another mindless day"?
Now, I've got all morning to obsessively accrue
A small nation of meaningful objects
And they've got to represent me too
- Chateau Lobby
Emma eats bread and butter
Like a queen would have ostrich and cobra wine
We’ll have satanic Christmas Eve
And play piano in the Chateau lobby
I’ve never done this
Baby, be gentle
It’s my first time
- Every Man Needs a Companion
Everyman needs a companion
Someone to turn his thoughts to
I know I do
Everyman needs a companion
Someone to console him
Like I need you
Oh, oh
- Hollywood Forever Cemetery Sings
Jesus Christ, girl
What are people gonna think
When I show up to one of several funerals
I've attended for grandpa this week
With you
With me
Someone's got to help me dig
- Holy Shit
Ancient holy wars
Dead religions, holocausts
New regimes, old ideas
That's now myth, that's now real
Original sin, genetic fate
Revolutions, spinning plates
It's important to stay informed
The commentary to comment on
- I Love You Honeybear
Oh, honeybear, honeybear, honeybear Ooh-ooh
Mascara blood
Ash and cum
On the Rorschach sheets where we make love
Honeybear, honeybear, honeybear Ooh-ooh
Fuck the world damn straight malaise
It may be just us who feel this way
- I Went To The Store One Day
We met in a parking lot
I was buying coffee and cigarettes
Firewood and bad wine long since gone
But I'm still drunk and hot, wide awake, breathing hard
Now, in just one year's time
I've become jealous, rail-thin
Prone to paranoia when I'm stoned
Cause isn't true love "Someone oughta put me in a home"?
- Nancy from Now On
Oh pour me another drink
And punch me in the face
You can call me Nancy
Every man wears a symbol
And I know I have mine
I've got my right hand stamped
In the concentration camp where my organs scream slow down, man
- Nothing Good Ever Happens At The Goddamn Thirsty Crow
Living it up
Have it all
Pull more women than any two men or train can haul
But my baby, she does something way more impressive than the Georgia Crawl
She blackens pages like a Russian romantic
Gets down more often than a blowup doll
Why the long face, Blondie? I'm already taken
- Now I'm Learning to Love the War
Oh, oh
Try not to think so much about
The truly staggering amount
Of oil that it takes to make a record
All the shipping, the vinyl
The cellophane lining, the high gloss
The tape and the gear
- Pure Comedy
The comedy of man starts like this
Our brains are way too big for our mothers' hips
And so Nature, she divines this alternative
We emerged half-formed and hope that whoever greets us on the other end
Is kind enough to fill us in
And, babies, that's pretty much how it's been ever since
Now the miracle of birth leaves a few issues to address
- real love baby

Our hearts

Are free
- Son of a Ladiesman - Live at Lightning 100
When I heard the ladies' man was dead
I saw the rolling stones stopped moving
Saw my ancient hero on the Sunset Strip
He left behind a legacy of ruin
Now painted ladies want to hold my gun
Wonder if the whole time I'd been acting
When I sang "Moon River" in that silent film
- Strange Encounter
Only ever be the girl who just almost died in my house
Half naked, looking through your telephone
Run you a bath and try hard not to freak out
It's all free and too easy, giving it away, giving it away
It's not cheap but here I am, giving it away, giving it away
Giving it away
- The Ideal Husband
[Verse 1]
Julian
He's gonna take my files
Every woman that I've slept with
Every friendship I've neglected
Didn't call when grandma died
I spend my money getting drunk and high
I've done things unprotected
- The Suburbs
(original by Arcade Fire)
In the suburbs I
I learned to drive
And you told me we'd never survive
Grab your mother's keys we're leavin'
You always seemed so sure
That one day we'd be fighting
- Total Entertainment Forever
Bedding Taylor Swift
Every night inside the Oculus Rift
After mister and the missus finish dinner and the dishes
And now the future's definition is so much higher than it was last year
It's like the images have all become real
And someone's living my life for me out in the mirror
No, can you believe how far we've come
- True Affection
When can we talk
With the face
Instead of using all these strange devices?
Seems like
You and I
Need to have a crazy conversation
Wouldn't be that hard
Get along so well
- When You're Smiling and Astride Me
There's no need to fear me
Darling, I love you as you are when you're alone
I'll never try to change you
As if I could, and if I were to, what's the part that I'd miss most?
When you're smiling and astride me
I can hardly believe I've found you and I'm terrified by that
I've got nothing to hide from you
- Writing a Novel
I ran down the road
Pants down to my knees
Screaming, "Please come help me
That Canadian shaman gave a little too much to me!"
And I'm writing a novel
'Cause it's never been done before
