A Short One

God damn I'm out of my head
Guess I'll just wait til I hit the ground
Feels like I'm in hell
Bodyweight keeping me down
Am I asleep?
Can't really tell but I want to be
Under the sheets
Unconscious and freaking out
It's kind of fun to see
Where my mind wants to take me
So when I fall asleep I hope for
A Heavy one (x4)
Dream that'll sink it's teeth deep
A dark one (x4)
Dream that'll sort of scar me
A Weird one (x4)
From deep within my psyche
Just one (x4)
Dream that'll make me happy (Yeah)

Yellow Lab

I'm in the wrong place
and always at the wrong time
Who's this guy?
Looks like he's cheating on his wife
That's no business of mine
So I'll head on down to the local beach
Where the water's so sweet
Who's dog is this now?
He's up and splashing around
This yellow lab I found on the beach
Isn't he so sweet
Guess he's mine now
Well head on back to town
He's still in bed
The wife is still hanging around
She's put on a smile
Something in here eye seems off
I ain't welcome no more
She says I'm better off outdoors
So I head on down to the local beach
Where the water's so sweet
With my dog now
He's up and splashing around
This yellow lab I found on the beach
Isn't he so sweet
He's all mine now
Never going back to town
This yellow lab I found on the beach
Isn't he so sweet
He's getting old now
Never gonna put him down

Well I'm stuck at a housewarming
that I didn't want to go to
So I spend all my time avoiding the guests
But then a lady in a red dress caught my eye
Don't think we met before
It's your voice that I adore
My driver's a solid guy
Says he doesn't like your vibe
She's just bad news for me
Now I'm riding in the trunk of his car
Says he'll take here on out and give her a ride home
So I could find out what I'm in for
Then I'll take her on out on my own
Muffled and mumbling
Agenda presented in spit
She said she killed a guy
And she'd do it all again for fun
The road went silent just before we went airborne
Here we are washed up on the shore
We escaped the lake unharmed
Then you got in my face
Said we were devil made
All my body could do was float away

This moisture in the morning
Is fogging up my lenses
Frames with the folk's eye care
Be sure to include the antiglare
Fit them to my face
I gotta be at work soon.
No one picks up the phone
Over at your office
So I'll head on back home soon
I'm sure you've got errands too
Free time has come and gone
I gotta leave for work soon
Found a pair of shoes in a box down by the lake
They didn't fit but they sure looked to be in great shape
Caught in a swamp and now I'm late
I'll get a call from work soon

Rent a Dove
02:17
|
|||
|
I'm here to take you to your grave
Been waiting in the driveway
I hope you're getting ready
Don't have all day
We're already late
Come on we'll miss the rabbit's day
Backdoor made out of robin eggs
You're still in your pj's
Sunk in the couch
Throw out these magazines
Get up and get moving
Turn off the TV
Suddenly mesmerized
By the bright light
Lame birds fly
This is what's been missing in my life
Big sale at rent a dove
Kids fly for free
Satisfaction guaranteed
Diamond dove
Call toll free
We've changed location but still deliver locally

Groundhog Day
03:10
|
|||
|
Oh I would never carry a gun
But if I did I wouldn't keep it loaded
My fist's too frail to rupture a gut
And will to weak to feed you poison
So I don't know what I've done
Hair sandy and golden
Little more bloody than I'm used to
Buried in beach away from the sun
Hoping that you'll come to
'Cause I don't know what to do
(x3)
I'm not a killer but it looks and feels like it
I'm drenched in blood and overwhelmed with guilt
These feelings are here to stay but I'm ever stuck in a groundhog's day
I'm not a killer I woke up like this
Covered in sweat or maybe something spilled
Went down for a nap the other day
So I'm pretty sure it was just a dream anyway

Peanut Permanent

Should get with the times
And get a tattoo
Maybe something that rhymes
Or reminds me of you
Peanut permanent
Ink stained in skin
Won't rub off in time
No matter how hard I try
You'll say what've you done
Like you already knew
Can't wait to get home
And show you
My new tattoo
Peanut permanent
Ink stained in skin
Peanut permanent
Ink stained in skin
Peanut permanent
Ink stained in skin
Won't rub off in time
No matter how hard I try

Fuzz

Got in bed an hour ago
Got a big day tomorrow
It's nothing special Just like to feel rested
But I'm still on my phone
Under the TV glow
Listening to my least favorite TV show
Reading helps
Warm glass of milk
Gives you crazy dreams
And chamomile tea
Might make you sleepy
Make sure your lunch is ready
Start at my feet (Feel the sand and retreat)
There go my limbs (Disappear into air)
Then to my chest (Centere of mass, shallow breath)
And up to my head
Island of fuzz
Fuzz and love
Come upstairs
Think nothing of
Off to bed
All upset
Sink into
The deep blue
An island of fuzz
Fuzz and love will come true

Molasses
03:32

This bear seems real my legs are full of molasses
Nothing I can do about it
Climb the hill on and up to the cabin
I'll break in if I have to
So I can hide out there and wait for the snow to clear
Hibernate there til the fog and fever kick in
And the mean bear leaves me alone
So I can stroll on home
If I don't make it I guess it's a pretty cool way to go
Extra weight all around my legs
Catch up to me any second
Feel her breath as it's resting on my collar
And I'm just sweating to reach the cabin
So I can hide out there and wait for the snow to clear
Hibernate there til the fog and fever kick in
And the mean bear leaves me alone
So I can stroll on home
If I don't make it I guess it's a pretty cool way to go
Getting mauled by a bear is a pretty cool way to go

Dress Patty
03:14

Behind the wheel
And stressing us all out
Honking at the wall not sure what that's about
This traffic held up by you
Is being waved around
To the lower levels deep underground
I guess I'll stay just out of view
'Cause I'm not sure what you'll do
And I came here with you
Now you're off running deeper and deeper still
Underground garage
Following the crowd
Gave up time for this
A Schizophrenic date she's kind of hard to miss
And yet I wonder still
What made me think of you
Stuck to me like glue
Settling and stiff
So I guess just do what you do
Through the crowd up the hill
Guess I'll stay here and comfort my will
And cheer on
Dress Patty
Watch her leapfrog all the cars
Dress Patty
In her black and gold dress she stole from the mall
I'm kind of glad she didn't tear it off
I'll return it but right now I'm in awe
Of dress Patty
Watch her leapfrog them all
Dress Patty
In her black and gold dress she stole from the mall
I'm kind of glad she didn't break my heart
She's got so many fans who watch in awe

Martin's Glasses
02:10
|

|
If I find your glasses
I'll let you know
Peel my eyes open
For the shades left in the bookstore
Made me put my work aside to crawl on the floor
To look for the specs I've never seen you wear before
Are they out of date 'cause your mistakes are out of line
Now you're partially blind
And you're out on the climb
Martin don't think they're up there
Have you looked elsewhere
Don't you have another pair
That you can wear
So you're not partially blind
And I can get back on the grind

Record Daze
03:26

Found myself in a record store
And I'm not sure what I'm looking for
Can I help you sir?
Maybe vintage vinyl will interest you
Wait how do I know this guy?
I think he sold me a guitar in another lifetime
And broke a pedal of mine
Record daze
Just my taste
Dave Brubeck high school tapes
Record daze
Just my taste
Pixies live with Kim Deal on bass
Record daze
Just my taste
Charlie Brown on VHS tapes
Record daze
Just my taste
Someone else can't remember their name
Just some band my friend told me they were great
I love record daze

Siri
03:43

What if we all choke to death in a drowsy state and a caffeine mess
Laughter takes over for freight and we won't make it home tonight
or any night
One person will sing the blues in a sandbar cafe and an ocean of booze
But then at the slightest wake it'll all slowly float away
Anyway
I wanted Siri to save it in her memory
But all I could remember was throwing my coffee into the pool
People thought it was cool
I'd bring more up if I wrote more down
But I get caught up clowning around
So I try to bring it back again in a cold shower every now and then
But as soon as I dry off I simple can't recall anything
And all the notes left in my phone
I should just delete all of them
The notebook next to my bed
I prefer to write in that instead
Because I wanted Siri to save it in her memory
But all I could remember was throwing my coffee into the pool
But I wanted Siri to save it in her memory
But all I could remember was throwing my coffee into the pool
And people thought it was cool
I'd bring more up if I wrote more down
But I get caught up clowning around
That's how you know I'm less
That's how you know I'm less
That's how you know I'm less
That's how you know I'm less

Meal Plan
03:04

I am just a freshman
Scrounging around
For some decent food
Subtle shade of autumn
Cuts right through me
I'm craving cozy too
Thick lacquered wood
And syrup suds
Long sleeves floor vents with the warm breeze
Pick out your smile
On the way to my seat
In the dining hall where I settle down to eat
I hope that you'll notice me
And my grown up ways
Haven't you noticed that I haven't shaved in a couple of days?
The look that you give me says I'm insane
For trying to change
Where I sit
Is that it?
I think that's it
In that case I'll quit
Threw my sweaters in the wash and now they don't fit
