High Hopes

tear it open again
weather/whether my better friend
i won't deny it anymore
i'm just a liar
i seek the greek life
bear it over the edge
never bleed when it bends
white folks can try it it's a chore
they're all delighted
why teach the clean guy...?
high hopes invited
open doors
i hope we're dying
all beach and blue skies
fair enough in the end
scare yourself at the edge
they're all divided
and we're bored and open minded
oh me of demise

Old Sour Tooth

old sour tooth
your sweet teeth are screamin in fear of you
you say "you know i gotta see ya when i see ya"
and you know i got a fever when i feel ya
it's my right
and if you ever talkin
stuck in with the carbon needle you
i'll take you for a walk and i'll show you my love
gargle too
i ain't nearly done with poking you
and you know that you could lose 'em cuz you use 'em on candy
maybe soon you'll stick with soup
am i right?
but sour tooth ain't talking
he knows the end is watching for the truth
a cavity or something worse like pulling the front one he loves one he'll keep

Every Single Day

how bout it now?
if i get better every day
leaking ladders wearin gray and
mean in sweaters on the bay
i know im loud
without you flattered drive away
somehow mean it and betray
one last look to grow away
if i'm still wrong i've been all my life
save love and heat for autumn days
i seek the place
apartment reaching for the mace
major holes with poles in place
weigh one wonder while you wait
i mean hooray
we're primed to see you overpaid
we climb to see you every day
one last lick upon my face
one more song one more wall or wife
crave love and streets have gone away

Soda Song

i know a girl whose fuckin (fun and?) pretty
and likes good music too
she likes placebo and mars volta
she likes incubus and tool
i'm always drunk when i see her
but that's only weekends
i hope she doesn't think that i am an alcoholic
i wanna be with her and eat with her and go for walks and have long talks and drive around no place to go and never say "i told you so" cuz i'm sure we'd not fight (yeah right)
if it should fall apart we'd leave behind no broken hearts cuz we'd make a deal to stay friends if it should end this all depends cuz i don't have the nerve to say i want her

we and i fly it high tonight
what you lost and what they'll find
the way you talk and haul across the night
what you haul across the night
we loved to turn and see it burn
and lose as much as we can (and lose as much in weekends)
we lost the light in the night
but i love you as much as i can

Times Fade Away
02:45

V1
when the times fade away
we think about each other
real loss across blood brothers
cheap wine afford my way
when your life in decay
you're drinking undercover
mean boss fake toss on summer
tea time contort my day
C1
i go away
and find it every day
i go away
it's alimony pay
a cause you could betray
V2
when the bright of your day simplifies the darker
cream sauce inside on the burner
eat nosh she took all day
feel the light on your face
simply we discover
weak toss can twirl into thunder
deep time on schools all day
C2
i go away
and find it every day
it's alimony pay
a cause you could betray
when dreamin goes away

White Pines On The Plain
03:35
|
|||
one time for the race
playing it loud
playing it straight
white pines on the plain
living it out
flailing away
going someday
anytime
anyplace
i belong
to the race
one life (to) contemplate
buried it now
blowin away
if i rise with day
flirt with the shame
cursing your face
going someday
anytime
anyplace
i belong
to the race

been gone for a long time
far too long to think
i could see you in the mirror
far beyond the sink

Make It Mine
02:45
|
|||
V1
feelin fine
fine for today
in the light
light gone away
make it mine
mine all the way
what you like
like runs away
C1
hold me won't be no more
in the light
light gone away
find one like all straight whores
in the night
light gone away
V1
get it right
ridin away
as we like
the night for the day
in the light
light gone away
in your eyes
I'm shone to stay
C2
hold me won't be no more
in the night
night gone away

there's a voice that keeps on calling me down the road that's where i'll always be oh every stop i make i make a new friend can't stay for long just turn around and i'm gone again
maybe tomorrow i'll want to settle down
until tomorrow i'll just keep moving on
so if you want to join me for a while
just grab your hat we'll travel light
that's hobo style
maybe tomorrow i'll want to settle down
until tomorrow i'll just keep moving on

Halogen Lights

BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME! police the bright halogen lights
i slept once in a lake with her behind the nightlight
"have a little lemonade" she said with long braids
never been and never came in wind or rain or the other side
