Speed Queen 03:28
lyrics
I want to put all I need In a backpack Walk out of here And never look back We can sleep in a dryer At the laundromat Rolling round and round With the hot air And the softener sheets Just you and me Oh come on My speed queen There'll be game shows to watch And books to read "You think you have time" That's what Castaneda said The bells in your head Have begun But you don't crack the Bartlett's Any further Because your darkness Is fed by Carl Jung By Carl Jung Shadows begone From my speed queen How bout that wonderful Washing machine But you don't like it When I say there's room to improve I meant no offense I want what's best for you I'm not perfect either I'm on the healing journey too I'm the fire You're the goat hooves Come on Let's make some glue Let's make some glue Let's make some glue So you'll stick with me And I'll stick with you My speed queen Just you and me My speed queen Just you and me Rolling round and round No one else can see That we're locked in the 3D All I have to do Is regain the key And leave Regain the key and leave

Bir/eath Day Party 01:29
lyrics
buy track
Your sex is grotesque Your "love" results in death Kiss the little skulls On your rosary You'll get no rest When you go to bed Head full of filth Hold nothing to your chest Suck out your shame Suck out your shame Your obligations Have turned into a stain Men are impressed Oh what a mess Hand your demons Someone to possess Don't even care Walk out the door What you give They need penicillin for Suck out your shame Suck out your shame You'll do Anything for fame Can't be blamed for her Bir/eath Day Bir/eath Day Bir/eath Day Bir/eath Day Party Suck out your shame Suck out your shame The rot Has gotten to your brain Suck out your shame Suck out your shame God forbid that you'd abstain Oh, you Libertine When's the next one, Christmas? At very least a Sunday The last one was June 17th

Under The Hunter Moon 04:45
lyrics
You can't cut the cord Can you It can't be cut It's a connection made for Us by God Under the hunter moon You stay up late Gazing into water In a bowl Screaming at a freezer Til your heart goes cold Candles whisper back That they won't Let you steal My soul Under the hunter moon He's giving us this moment To understand What is real Tell me do you feel what I feel With a rush of wind That falls to a hush Then something wraps you in A healing ghostly touch For hundreds of lifetimes I stood by Hoping you'd come around To the good side But you only want to play Don't you want to See through the fade And float around Like the clouds I'm not talking Bout a wraith More like an immortal Don't misconstrue what I say If I feel it You can feel it too The you can leave here Like I do But I don't think You want to This may be your last chance Or you're left to Dangle on The silver cord Connected to The hunter moon Dangle on The silver cord Connected to The hunter moon

Terrible Liar 03:40
lyrics
You listen to me on Spotify Driving into town Then you turn on a dime My love Can't stop running me down Wish you knew what I see You scoff and suck your teeth When I ask you out For a pint or a bite to eat You're a terrible liar I've always been wise to ya Say no with a side eye The smile you can't hide I'll wear you down one day When you can't keep your stories straight We'll start with a clean slate Bump in to you at the record store In your hand is Louder Than Bombs I ask you if you like The Smiths You said they're naff, it's for my mom You looked down and slinked away It hasn't been your day You jumped the queue Paid the clerk And turned back again You're a terrible liar I've always been wise to you Tilt your head to the side Body language can't deny Let's not kid ourselves I know we're both readers Don't leave our love story On the shelf And on and on and on You're a terrible liar I've always been wise to you Say no with a side eye The smile you can't deny I'll wear you down one day When you can't keep your stories straight We'll start with a clean slate With a clean slate

American Marionette 02:53
lyrics
No wonder she's taken under By money and status And fame If she really had them It would haunt her all of her days She's been down But not for long She found her prince And his dark income Now she'll run around With the wrong crowd They're only there For what they want The flashy ones are always jealous And he didn't break the mold When he starts yelling She runs away To her mother's home "Surprise surprise Back so soon What was the wait?" He starts in on her There she goes again Crying in the rain It's slippery when wet In her little red corvette Bridge out Skid out Spinning round and round She sat on the curb Waiting for him to pick her up He'll keep her hanging on by a thread She's his living marionette Buy her something with lace Another purse won't fill the space Finally on the mend And then There she goes again Crying in the rain It's slippery when wet In her little red corvette There she goes again Crying in the rain It's slippery when wet In her little red corvette

This City Is An Oyster 04:36
lyrics
This city is an oyster And I am the pearl I don't expect you to understand You're the sand It's a charming little burg That time has lost It's official colors Are beige and rust As many abandoned factories As they have shops There's a statue of a wrestler next to a clock At the old train station This park specializes In rotten trees More corner bars Than I've ever seen Glad I don't fit in That's just fine with me My smile wouldn't break If it slid into the lake Gone without a trace Erased from history And left an empty space This city is an oyster And I am the pearl You people are the sand Washed back by the rip curl Grown men and the elderly Act like they're still in high school I told them 'You're a silly goose Drinking everyday You turned your poor liver Into beef jerky' This place isn't for me It's not soft Not quite rough They don't like me Cause I'm not liberal enough I like unions but I voted for Trump They didn't count it anyway Ripped it out the ballot box So cosmopolitan until you're different Then they want to slam your head against the pavement Tear your skin off Use it as a lampshade Inject hydrochloric acid Straight into your brain Try to make you a zombie In Fall they watch that sportsball Everyday Somehow men in tight shiny clothes Isn't gay They wear red white blue purple yellow and green At the same time to support local teams They treat me like a criminal Cause I don't have a truck A bunch of kids And a fat ugly tramp That's not the kind of life That I want to live I'd rather be alone Than take anything people here Could give There I'm done Now it's your turn You can run your stupid tacky mouth But save your screams for Hell.

Sanpaku Eyes 04:00
lyrics
Girl I said I've been on to you And your cheating ways When my back was turned I want you to get your things And leave this house This isn't working out Didn't know if she'd cry Or stab me with a knife Until the moment she turned around Then she Gave me those sanpaku eyes Always looking so tired Like a wounded dove Fallen from the sky It could be something else Like a cat in the night watching its prey Struggling to break away That was a month ago Since then I found a new one With a little more energy If you know what I mean So much like her But then not quite right Told her I had to break it off Then she Gave me those sanpaku eyes Always looking so surprised I'm a little scared Is she mad, or just excited? Think I'd better run Things are going South She's rearing up To punch me in the mouth Let's not go crazy This was just some summer fun Designed to take my mind off of her But I just can't go on Faking it with the wrong one She could be sitting there alone Who am I fooling She could have anyone What do I care She'll have to understand There can be only us I said Give me those sanpaku eyes Always looking so tired Like a wounded dove Fallen from the sky Don't know if it's love Never felt so much desire Have to shake this trance Or I'll walk in to the fire No, it'll all be fine...

Simple 04:15
lyrics
A smile lies Within your lips Happiness Is simple as this If there was a moment You spent lonely I'd lose faith in the world Strike that It already happened Many years ago Anyways I want to do something To cheer you up How about Paris a trip to For the day We'd see the Champes Elysees The Louvre and The Tuileries District Chinois And anywhere else you want See the lights The lights Shimmer in the skyline Eiffel Tower shines Like she's set with diamonds What's that you say? That's a good idea We'll squeeze it in I promise It's a done deal It's kind of my thing too You know Antiquing is great I'll buy you a compact A shawl and a beret At night we'd stop for drinks On The Moon If NASA would stop playing In the swimming pool I mean for 70 million dollars Every single day You'd think they'd have some better CGI To convince me That the Earth is round When clearly It's flat as the ground Got in the weeds a bit It's something I think about La Tour d'Argent's over there Let's check it out Order a cafe and an eclair Table on the sidewalk Back to what I said before Maybe you can tell me why They shooting their nukes upwards And the try to break the sky But they always explode At 700 miles high If the Earth is flat Then the Bible is right We're in a footstool And God lounges outside There's nothing to fear Everything is fine Worry is unnecessary And I'll tell you why The future is bright If you just open your eyes And see that we live in paradise From dreams come thoughts And thoughts come actions It's all basic causality Thus you see You are free A smile lies Within your lips Happiness is simple Simple as this Simple as this

She Loves Everyone 03:30
lyrics
I know a girl Who wants too much She's pure light But she's in the dark Walked to her house To ask her out There's a line around the block She loves everyone For a hundred bucks In and out the door In a half an hour She loves everyone But I won't I won't let go She needs someone To look after her And protect her from herself In this evil world And guide her back to source She loves everyone For a hundred bucks Any way you want In a half an hour She loves everyone Sad little girl How did it come to this Give her a Bible Tell her bout Jesus If she'd even listen I could call her mother I could call her sister Someone has to care Take her out for ice cream Surprise her with a pony She probably just needs a hug Just needs a hug She loves everyone For a hundred bucks In and out the door In a half an hour She loves everyone And she broke my heart

Rag Doll 04:36
lyrics
Ragdoll You've been thrown around So much so That you don't know Up from down It's a pity to me Sight I never wanted to see Found you at the second hand store In the corner with the misfit toys You used to be In the window display at Macy's I won't let them throw you out There's plenty of love left in your heart And a long lonely road behind us But so much left to go Ragdoll They tore you up Ripped out at the seams Men can be so obscene Spilling they're evil Wherever they Damn well please Then they hand you your money Love With a smile and a wink And they think That they have some class But where will they go Now that you're in hospital I won't let them throw you out There's plenty of love left in your heart And a Long lonely road behind us And so much more to go Woke from a dream Twas a shock for both you and me On Sunday morning Around 9:30 Ragdoll I'll fix you up Got a needle thread Buttons and cloth Please hold still It won't hurt that much Get you back to good as new Something's different Sparkling clean But the luster has gone They said you might never Come back I won't let them throw you out There's plenty of love left in your heart And a long lonely road Behind us But so much left to go

Squares in the Stars 03:07
lyrics
There's a glitch In the simulation Calling out Station to station Suddenly it's something we all see The wheel of fortune Threw a spoke and Now it's lying down there Broken Should we try to fix it Or just leave After rising and falling In someone else's eyes Doing what we hate To protect our wounded pride Some live their lives In Grand Trines Thinking everything is fine Must have done Something right In a past life Well There's a war In our charts But the squares in the stars Can be turned Into our greatest power Hallelujah New day rising New dawn fades Deja vu Always feels the same Must get off this hamster wheel Before it all ends And begins again [Walking] Angels singing [Keep Walking] Demons tempting [Keep Walking] Streetlights screaming [Don't Stop] [Walking] If this paradox closes [Keep Walking] Was it ever opened [Keep Walking] Nothing's making sense [Don't Stop] Rising and falling After the prize Of a car in the driveway And a bank note backed by lies [Keep walking] All they say is [Don't Stop]
