1.
We’re calling it a night ‘cause what else would we call it But sleep’s the last thing on your mind I’m counting sheep but in my head is flashing neon, Dizzy stars in my eyes You’ve been all over town and everywhere Somehow you always end up here So shut your gorgeous mouth for just one second And I’m gonna try not to think ‘cause I can’t give you a reason to stay But don’t leave so soon there’s a chance we might find bliss Though we’ve done this a million times Yeah we’ve tried and failed, crashed and burned for one more kiss But your eyes are solar flares and I don’t care what they all think If this isn’t love then never mind it
2.
I’m gonna need a little bit more than this You’re not giving me anything And every other heartbeat brings silence Since the last time that you ghosted The ringing only seems to be in my ears I guess that we have flatlined But every other century you come Crawling out of nowhere, messing up my peace of mind And now I’m sick of all the word games Won’t you tell me to my face Will you finally drop the anchor Or float off into outer space You keep sending me these signals But I don’t know what they mean Are you gonna keep playing dirty Or will you finally come clean
3.
I don’t know if I can live my life without you by my side It’s been so long since I’ve been out there on my own Seems everyone around me’s going crazy
4.
I’m not sure what you’re trying to pull with That handlebar mustache and infinite patience This would be so easy to dismiss If that wasn’t such an unbelievable kiss He could hear your heart in your head As you stood and watched him take his pants off This could be such a beautiful thing If you just weren’t so goddamned fragile You’re running with wolves in this deadly city To howl at the moon at dawn Baby, if you weren’t so fucking pretty They’d have ripped you to shreds so long ago You aren’t a cop now are you He asked as he freed your billy club And stroked it to all its grand perfection All seven inches hard And slowly he knelt as if in prayer To pay lip service with unholy vows And slowly ‘til everything was falling And deep, so deep ‘til he had drowned
5.
Why do you blame suns and stars then hop right into strangers’ cars Who thinks “Oh look a swan let me fuck it” You keep waiting for cosmic signs and make excuses of all kinds But brother, sister, mother, father, no one else made your choice for you It’s a bird, it’s a plane It’s a ten percent chance that it’s gonna rain You need to decide If you show signs of weakness, they will eat you alive
6.
I want a boring grown-up job and a house and kids I want sex to mean love and love to mean this I want my hand down your pants and to stop thinking things Like the night is so vast and the dark is so please, please, please I want to stop pretending I never wanted to be cool I just need arms to hold me down I just need light to drown out sound You drive the crazy out of me but I am terrified of you
7.
Get In Good 02:01
He gives himself a hardon and sucks himself off Gratifying himself and gives birth to his own his own bastard fetus of truth that’s copied and pasted from what his idiot brain has perceived to be superior
8.
Banana High 03:15
I don’t want to be on the outside looking in Little match girl shivering in the cold I’ve died a thousand times, I have read the riot act Take a bit of this, give a little bit of that I am just as good as your little girls and boys Take away the swag all they really got is noise Action potential I’m ready to explode Got a boner of momentum, yeah I’ve got the motherlode I can feel you do you feel me now Slip in a banana high I feel so unloved and a little insecure Trying to be cool I don’t want to anymore Sun is spinning faster dizzying the earth Life is way too short to let you tell me what I’m worth
9.
Dirty thirteen year olds, dreams of champagne and stardust My heart is colour blind, my head’s an amorous octopus Memory’s a fickle bitch, all I do ‘cause all it does Is keep me missing you to death Lonely nights and shifty eyes, planning the perfect crime If it happens to be murder, I guess I’ll just do the time Attempting to die little deaths, slow and steady wins the race I’m trying not to come in first place But everything is bright lights spinning around And I’m too young and dumb to not get sucked in I’ve only ever wanted to belong Someone love and love me down before they stick me in the ground too soon
10.
Buried with those midnight phonecalls, The feeling of being young The dusty concrete streets and skylines Running like electric signals up and down the avenue We don’t need to hear the city sighing Our bones have ossified with urban sounds We can drown in carbon heartache But we’re older than you wiseass motherfuckers who are spreading like the plague
11.
Okay, that’s my cue to leave I don’t see the point of this mystery If the dream is heavy, then we’re not alive If we can’t kill Kenny, then who else is supposed to die I bet, I bet ten whole bucks If we just start shooting, then they drop like flies Count your fingers, check if your toes are webbed Somewhere down the branches, we’re all inbred Like the fire on the mountain, like the secrets in the stars I am your sister and your brother, I am the greatest hits of The Cars If you die then pieces of me disappear And I’m way too awesome that’d be such a waste I already barely feel I’m here I’d retreat into a catatonic state
12.
Stone cold fox, when you’re near, my throat closes up and I can’t speak I can’t tell you I think you’re super fine I can’t let you know what’s in this heart of mine Dear god let something fall on me I need a little bit more than your sympathy now Stone cold fox, everybody macks on you, what chance do I have I can’t you you’re hot and I want to bone I want to lick you up like an ice cream cone Deargod let something fall on me I need a little bit more than your sympathy now
13.
We were sitting in the car, I didn’t mean to fall so hard I didn’t feel my heart But life is much too short, and I feel like I’ll be gone soon And where’d that get me I put all my faith in you We bonded over shoes and Orange Julius I feel like such a fool I know you’re married I was there At your daughter’s confirmation Standing next to all your other children Crying, none of you knew why And if my every hopeless sigh could be an answered prayer I would have been born with different genitalia We’d have met so long ago But Jesus ain’t as merciful as other deities Especially to Catholics guilt-ridden With their sins all unforgiven By our Father up in heaven Who knows only obligation And feels none of our pain
14.
Dude, I know she’s in love with you But she lets me get her on her hands and knees You know how she can be a giant tease Yeah, you got her heart but I got her body I know that when she smiles at me The light in her eyes is for someone else But when she kisses my thoughts away I save those worries for another day I know all her secrets And you got all her love But she needs somewhere down there To comfort her when she gets lonely Love is complicated But loving is plain as day And when I’m deep inside her She may think of you but she screams my name
