Come See The Mess
02:45
|

Too many roles to play and never enough light gets in here
So burn your clothes and those shoes
If you're worn out you can stay, but that better mean one night, get sincere
Lock this lock, take that off, sleep
No window home
How do you breathe
Knit broken bones
And never leave
You can burn that gown
You can burn that dress
You can burn me down
So you can see the mess
Too many roles to play and never enough life gets in here
Don't turn, don't run, have fun, get loose
Our friction speaks volumes, spark something else, you win, dear
But you're locked in; get yourself off; sleep
No window home
How do you breathe
Knit broken bones
And never leave
You can burn that gown
You can burn that dress
You can burn me down
And come see the mess

Eye Tooth Moon

Who knows where we go when it rains
We could be anybody
We could be anywhere
Where we go where we go
I been a lunatic a long time
Feel the water turn tail, turn tide
Go full lycanthrope right on time
Don't count me out just cause the other monsters lied
Eye to the moon
She's lonely too
Eye to the moon
She loves me too
I turn fanatic with a blind eye
X
X
... when she's fucking with my insides
Eye to the moon
She's lonely too
Eye to the moon
She loves me too
Eye to the moon
She loves you too

Wild Vow
02:12
|

Hold up
Uphold
Stole a broken down radio
Stay there
Good dog
Come and bury these broken bones
Blink once for yes
Blink twice for no
Take a wild oath
Hold up
Uphold
Stole an artery from its blood
Stay there
Bad kitty
Something very much left undone
Blink once for yes
Blink twice for no
Take a wild oath
Aye aye aye aye
No need to swear
Aye aye aye aye
What you got there?
Tap once for later
Tap twice for now
Take wild vow

One Punch
04:24
|
|||
Dead to the world I left
They don't know I'm gone
Knocked out
One punch from you
And I was on my back
Came to
in bed in hell
Hell knows I've been back
K.O.
One punch from you
And I was on my way
Down below
The one-two
Nobody saw
x
Laid out
For all to face
Dead man on the loose
Came to
In bed with you
You said
Fuck...
The one-two
Nobody saw
x
Laid out
For all to face
Dead man on the move
Came to
In bed with you
You said get out
Can't stay not yet
So we go back down below

Good Thing Gone
02:14

Two acres of swamp and it's gone
The highway's moving over and the water's getting lower
Where we used to cut through, catch frogs, smoke shit
Watch the crazy old neighbor lady losing her wig
They blew everything up, yes it's gone
The shed where the neighbor, well, I kinda got to know her
Rotten fruit falling through the big dog cage
That's gone too, they cut down the old days
My left hand's offering to chop off my right
For one more feel of swamp water at night
Time traveled here but the neighborhood's gone
What else can I do but sing a dumb shit song
Grew up where the dragonflies swarmed
Skunkweed stinking when you kick it, move slower
Never thought to worry about another life
When we were still too young to be trusted with a butter knife
My left hand's offering to chop off my right
For one more feel of swamp water at night
Time traveling here but the neighborhood's gone
What else can I do but sing a dumb shit song
Knew when the weather got warm - MOSQUITOES
When the weather got warm - FUCK MOSQUITOES
Knew when the weather got warm
The water in the supermarket dumpster and Lowell
Would be stinking up a storm
It was the norm it was the norm it was the norm but is it normal
That my left hand's offering to chop off my right...

Heard You Had A Baby
02:42

Heard you had a baby
Another one on the way
Heard you were three months pregnant
With another holy ghost
Hold me close
Holy ghost
Holy smokes
Heard you had a husband
Second one since we quit
Heard you were six months pregnant
With another body's baby
and it's the
Holy ghost
Holy ghost
Holy smokes
Heard you were floating
Water oughta break real soon
Heard you were nine months pregnant
Or in labor labor labor with the
Holy ghost
Holy ghost
Holy ghost

Rig Odds

Fallen angels on my porch
(Love me! Just me!)
Barricading my door
(So go! Let's go!)
They're piling up and unsure
Just get me out quick, i think we've been here before
Why are we waiting to go?
Carrying one hell of a torch
(Love me! Just me!)
(But ooh! You're new!)
So sweetly burns dead remorse
(Real slow, so slow)
Been lighting my way, I'm sure
Spark it up quick, I think I've been here before
... slept here one night?
... lived here a while?
... died in the basement and haunted you haunted you haunted you haunted you
Now I'm waiting to go
Bringing heaven too low
Waiting to go

One For You Two For Me
03:45
|

You're daddy's got money to burn
And you do too
So pass a little along
And I'll write your daddy a song
And one for you
And two for me
And one for you
Two for me
One for me
None for you
Hey there's always more money to earn
But ooh ooh ooh
Its 40 hours too much
When you could pony up a little touch
And your means aren't hard to discern
From true true true
So pass a little along
And I'll write your whole family a song
And one for you
Two for me
One for You
Two for me
One for me
None for you
Every pocket's got a hole
So let me hold a hand below
And catch a little funny money 'fore it blows away
repeat other stuff until the terrible end
