Sutro (Heroin Jazz Mix)
04:49
|
|||
everybody's got cancer it seems - today
turn down the amplifiers,
you know i could walk away
turn up the P.A. 'cause
i can't hear
what i'm trying to say
take a walk down to the sutro baths
and listen to the waves.
careful for the undertow
and the tourist traps down below.
turn down the radio, cause
i can't hear
what i'm trying to say

Asian Gangsta Kidz
03:22
|
|||
i saw an old chinese man
crushing a further sound
i'm trying to be angry now
but it's not like i said
i want you to scare me out
i'm feeling like i never should
i'm trying to be lazy now
but it never works out
never works out
you wore the false chi pao
and i see the chinese man
they're walking down my street now
i'm killing it slowly
i don't believe what you sell
cause there's no scene where i want to be seen
so down another cigarette kid
and tell them i'm not yours
i'm not yours. . .found out
trick out that civic kid
and lower it
paste another sticker to your rear
and tell them i'm not yours
i'm not yours. . .found out

Ramadan
03:41
|
|||
when i'm feeling capable
if i could only pace it out
well i was only 9
try not to make it rhyme
suffer for a second chance
douse the ash and make it last
take a deep breath in
and slowly count to 10
bow down to an eastern site
geomancers know i'm right
i don't want to spell it out like you do
break (or make) up for another day
we'll scheme of ways to waste away
well i just wanna know
where it is. . .i'm gone (or going)
move out to a southern town
with rosicrucians all around
fast from dusk 'til dawn
and welcome RAMADAN
chorus do do do do doooooo. . .

Battery Davis
03:45
|
|||
watch me drift away
fall - surprise it's grey
pace to. . .don't drown me out
watch me-
i'm over it.
to one side.
surrender feels fine,
i'm over it.
to one side - turn down.
we're out of tune
but she's still in love you
i'll falter forth
and pack my things for north
parse the words you know
don't sound them out
chorus

Wrong Song
03:36
|
|||
call it bad design
planets are misaligned
without much follow through (or solid proof)
that it's you.
if i could buttress it -
pray to the church i miss
pine for the smell of pine
(waste) bread and wine.
if i'm wrong
well then i'm wrong
this song is wrong
turn to another page
drop to the final frame
dreamt it was almost you
then i'm shed.
so i'll falter forth
strapped to the mast again
stray from the sirens when
stay on course
chorus

Retrace
03:50
|
|||
i won't fail to retrace
what's been done
from the planet's pull
to this gravity
it's just me
an apology -
that could never mean
what i mean
i won't fail to retrace
just what's been done
i want clean
well fuck that scene
if it's up to me
i'm all done.
when you're walking down
this open road
i won't bend
i'm a broken string
i could never ring
chords complete
take a piece of me
i won't ever sing
what i mean.
chorus

Square Back
03:19
|
|||
new crowns. . .
do you remember
everything
that you never said?
do you take it
-back-
in time
you will learn
well, maybe not.
kill an afterthought
join the laughing
-stock-
up now
arrest this man for
telling the truth
when he takes a shot
are you bulletproof?
squareback,
you know i feel the same
so how about you?
i'm old enough to break with every truce
i just wanna feel - one up on you.
spice queen,
a karate kick
won't teach me anything
she's got a faster block
and a mean hook
-shot-
them down
spare me from another show
at long lost we don't have to go
chorus.

One Less Year
03:51
|
|||
wake up to the old truths
well i wanted to say
i'm fine go away
to a warm place
where you won't waste
one less day of your life
upon thoughts and the strife
one less year
to decide i'm ok, i'm ok, i'm ok
one less year
to deny (arrive), i'm just fine, i'm just fine, i'm just fine
slow down
when they speed up
and turn from this town
when the laugh track is down
when you see them
try not to be them
and turn from the tracks
the computer distracts.
chorus

Brace
02:31
|
|||
when i'm up
i can't wait for a break
laugh it off
chalk it up to bad taste
loosen up those
tight pants prop your feet
upon the ottoman
brace for the fall
cause we're almost through.
wash your hands
breath it in.
look like someone new
yeah, she smells like a friend
but that was way back when
she was (cute) true
so we bought new guitars
now we match our popstars
and we dress just like them
a la mode.
so i'm back to the dunes
for 40 more.
i've got sand in my mouth.
