Casual Sex
02:55
|
|||
Oh now, I need to get on / But not with just anyone / And now, I'm figuring out / I can't have the kind of fun / That no one wants to talk about / If I took a lover in a random way, I'd probably feel anxious, well / If I took a lover like my friends all say / Oh, I'd feel overwhelmed / That deed, it never gets done / I can't talk to anyone / And now, I've found myself out / I can't have the kind of fun / That no one wants to talk about / Oh, we'd get over / So where do idiots go? / I turn my lights on alone / I float through bars like a ghost / I keep to people I know / I suppose in a week I'll catch your eye / Hold my pose while the other stories die / Scan my phone for the names of women that I / Had been alone with once /
If I took a lover in a random way, I'd probably feel anxious, well / If I took a lover like my friends all say / Oh, I'd feel over / If I took a lover / Casual sex

Above This City
03:55
|
|||
Oh we control them / And we will never let them out / And we shall own them / Until they're dead and in the ground / In banks and laundromats / And in bunkers and caves / We will pound / Like a thousand hammers never could / Look for something that flies / A simple protest won't do any good / Look for something that flies / Above this city / Oh we control them / We are the boot that stamps them down / And we shall own them / Until they're gone and in the ground / In bars and children's stores / And in old people's homes / We will sound / Like an airport runway never could / Be safe and quiet, it's easy now / No one will harm you, don't worry now / We're so much faster than people now / Sir, we're calling you down / There's nothing to see here, don't pay us no mind / A clock that is ticking, a spring to unwind / A black helicopter alone in the sky / Swirling irrelevantly / Above this city

On Christmas
03:39
|
|||
My nephew cheers / And stamps his feet / We pry him from his presents and sit down to eat / I won't break that mood / It's breakfast / We bow our heads to praise the lord / And I ain't really clear on what we do that for / But I won't bring that up / On Christmas / In a Baptist church / To a bride and groom / A focus group crammed in a crowded room / And they don't like my stance / On Jesus / There ain't no point / To that debate / And I just get exhausted when I celebrate / Family's enough / On Christmas / Mister we don't want to hurt anybody / So whatever you want, don't hurt anybody / Our parents bow / Their heads to pray / I look up at my brothers and they look away / We won't pick that bone / It's pointless / My brain it shakes / My mouth conceals / I don't want to talk about how nothing feels / I won't start that up / On Christmas

My Body
05:41
|
|||
My body / The stars still like flurries of snow / The flickers of static they grow / The tower on top of the earth / I quivered in face-frying fear / I'd made all the clouds disappear / I'd flown from the top of the earth / My body / Motherland it hears / Motherland it knows the whispers as its son flies home / Soon we'll start a war / Listen to me only / Yuri send my body home / I can't touch the ground / Listen to me, Yuri / Alien and bony / Home / Soon we'll clatter down / Soon we will be heroes / Teleport my body home

Off a Bridge
02:57
|
|||
Don't even think of what your parents said / Because the beat must still go on / Man, take that anvil off your carotid / Because the beat must still go on / He doesn't want babies / He doesn't want babies / To die in a fire / He doesn't want babies / Not even a little / When will the beat go on? / He doesn't like Satan / He only likes Jesus / He doesn't like Satan / Not even a little / Jump off a bridge, man / Do it. NOTE: Life is good. Live it well. This song isn't about you

Not My Car
05:02
|
|||
Flying to the west / Scrambling through the corridor / Rapping on a window pane / Bursting from the gate / Running to the rental desk / Spitting out my name, my name / Sir, you've got to wait / The tourists - we've been jammed today / All that's on the lot / Look how it's in disarray -'s / Economy and family cars / Oh that's impossible / I'm not so sad and lonely / This is not my car / What do you take me for? / It's not like y'all don't know me / This mound of China clay / Not worth the time of day / I'm not so sad and lonely / Dammit, dammit, I can't take this Kia to the office park! / The tacky color blinds me / Leave it in the back, wait until the quad gets dark / Hope nobody finds me / It's the finest suits / It's the choicest restaurants / I demand a leather / Seat to grip my glutes / A monogram to tell y'all / I can buy your ass forever / I got my checkbook out, I wield it like a gun / I drop my name and have it crash down like a ton / I'm calling / This is not my car / What do you take me for? / This is not my car, so / You can suck my butthole / You can suck my butthole / Why would I? / You can suck my butthole, glory, glory, hallelujah

Don't Drink the Water
03:08
|
|||
Don't go drinking the water / You'll be losing this hellish charade / I had my friends again / For a week in September and / For that month in Chicago when / Never escaped my mind / Things we know / Aren't hard to justify / It's hard to justify homicide / You've been playing with fire / Don't go drinking the water / Don't deny me, my daughter / Leave it all for me

Purpose Song
02:59
|
|||
Follow the thunder around / Press all the plants to the ground / Follow the path with the hand-painted signs facing down / Follow the creep to the car / Drive with the map of the stars / Gulp from the bath with the rust-spattered lines running 'round / And he said / Do you think there's a purpose? / And I'm like, no / So why do we deserve this? / Well, I don't know / Do you think there's a purpose, man, does the sun shine into our lives? Do you think there's a purpose / And I'm like, no / Sell all the guns to Japan / Wrap all the brains in saran / Follow the path with the mark in the blood of the man / Step on the caps in the hall / Pick up the kids from the mall / Swallow the staff with the coda carafe of the plan / There will be no Knights of Columbus / There will be no victory dance / There is just some prick neighbor's dog who shits in the yard / There will be no rose-colored glasses / There will be no Christ on a cross / There is just some prick neighbor's dog who shits in the yard

Mean as Hell
03:47
|
|||
I drove out / To Osceola / Because the bad kids told me to / Walked the stairs / And met the council / As the elders often do / All of them were actually mean as hell / Stood up straight / For the reporters / Because the lawyers told me to / Clasped my hands / And met the jurors / As they stood up two by two / All of them were actually mean as hell / Kid, we'll have a lot of fun / But no you can't tell anyone / I walked out / Led by the bailiff / And I hung my head in shame / And the crowd / Around the courthouse / It held signs and yelled my name / All of them were actually mean as hell / All of them were actually venomous toads, down to the preachers / All of them were actually mean as hell

She'd passed all of the company's tests / Climbed up the corporate ladder / 'Til the boss was a giggling mess / Lackeys with minds so scattered / Tried to tell him the numbers were wrong / Wait 'til the mirror shatters / I need to seek an injunction / For what amounts to treason / Called the papers from company phones / None of it seemed to matter / Held her ears while they piled up loans / Bracing for some disaster / There is one little thing / I need to seek an injunction / For what amounts to treason / I made an awful investment / I ain't got shit to show for it / I thought the market was sacred / I ain't got shit to show for it now / He needs to seek an injunction / For what amounts to treason / He needs to burn his portfolio / I ain't got shit to show for it now / He's on a raft in the water / I need a ship to swallow me now / He's got to work 'til he's 80 now
Sylvia / Flowers in her hair / Sylvia / Recover / Sylvia / Find out who lives there

The Ones Who Are Dumb
04:14
|
|||
The ones who speak clearly are the ones who are dumb / They are the ones who are dumb / Direct and sincerely are the ones who are dumb / They are the ones who are dumb / They're shouting opinions at ridiculous speeds / It's like they don't even mean it / Pretending the rest of us are different breeds / Like they're too stupid to see it / They were talking of tea parties on CSPAN2 / A congressman and a doctor / If some little dicks came to our high school like that / We'd drop a deuce in their locker with ridiculous speeds / Now I keep all of my money 'neath my mattress / Oh, to save me when their bullshit gets disastrous / And they cannot fix a chimney or a chassis / And yet we are the ones who are dumb / It's a million tiny margins that they're chasing / And it's all our value added that they're wasting / At the rapture we'll be gone and they'll be waiting / And yet we are the ones who are dumb
