SPOIL YR PARTY
I'm only makeup & skin & bone & fat & flesh
I only wake up to eat & work then back to bed
It only makes it harder
To make it seem I'm smarter
Than all you chumps down there
All vaguely self aware.
I'll spoil your party & run nude through your parents' place
I'll drink their liquor they'll hate my guts but respect my taste
It only makes it harder
To prove to you I'm smarter
Than all your bestest friends
Out on all your long weekends
Now it's best to run away
Or just disintegrate

TSUNAMI
a tsunami washed our town away
now there's nothing much that's left to say
I look out at all those friends betrayed
i loved too strong, I loved too strong, I loved too strong i guess
but tomorrow is another day,
and you can't tell what might come your way
i look out at all those cherry trees
all in full bloom all in full bloom all in full bloom i see

DULL & SAFE
wanna drive down wall st in a sherman tank
wanna find a young couple who don't owe the bank (burn down the bank)
we'll kidnap a senator start pulling rank
but i'm in my basement my dick in hand
now we just need to find a guillotine
and choose a name for our conspiracy
wanna crash into the homes of the lawyers
pull em out of their swimming pools make em work for free (like me)
sit em down next to their wives in their foyers
draft all their children 'to the army
i am a martyr who's been sent by god
and that's the reason that they called the cops
all pins and needles
like hearing the beatles the millionth time
just let me know when i'm good or bad now baby hell
it's a little lazy of me
just a way to disappear
dull & safe as Xmas cheer
dull & safe keeps me right here

Every Bed

EVERY BED
early one to rise/ slip in with your toe/ step into the car and rattle slow/ far up on the rise/ skim a little life / give a little thought to rivalry / fall back into line / come and see the light / have a little hug by fireside / chatting up the boy / couldn't let it lie / every little deed will surely shine
build a little fire / read a little book / think about the effort that it took / every tree and ax / every game of catch / every man stretched out on the wrack / every little road / every little car / buy a roll of film at camera shop / rattle up the hill / head into the climb / every soul arrives in his or her own time
every little house / every little home / every little bed and camasole / never knew the look / never knew the time / never knew a girl who's solely mine / every mote of dust / in every beam of light / little catherine shaw is camera shy / write it on the wall / add a little time / maybe leave a note / maybe leave a rationale...

FORCES AT PLAY
The earth can die the land can fry
The sea can boil the forests burn
And tho we might be last to die
I promise you
I promise you
Through the Holocene we fell
A mess of bloody knees
Forces are at play so
Duck your head and come with me
We'll change our lives we'll falsify
Our documents we'll live in sin
And tho we might live far away
I promise you
I promise you
The Holocene had darker themes
Than we could have believed
So much for the magic show
For this is how it seems

2 COREYS
Corey, it's always something
You said it's this or it's nothing
You were right in Telluride
You told yourself you'd be fine
and you are my favorite
and I hate dudes who are fakers
Tune in tonight
to find what you are looking for
other Coreys
Corey, it's always something
but you can't have something for nothing
Tune in tonight
to find what you are looking for
other Coreys

2 ESCOBARS
here our children's bones
lie beneath our homes
as waves of marines
flood our village green
take some good advice
leave medallín tonight
hop the nearest train
choose a different name
if I leave now
there's no coming back
no postcards home
no calling dad
all i've known was wrong
and always looking to come undone
you won't ever have to run
aiming to be no one

HOUNDS
with cops and hounds
from 19th to downtown
with cash and law
as they tear your building down
they'll squeeze this place
until the coins pop out
then whine about the noise when they should move down south
maybe then
they'll be alright
over dirt and grass
over snow and rock
thru dust and wind
through open doors and locked
we'll hunt you down
then we'll sink your yacht
we'll squeeze your flabby neck
until your head pops off
maybe then
we'll be alright
oh god give me a sign
i am ready to go
all roads lead to rome
where the emperor has no clothes
we were alright
they were alright
you were alright
I was alright

EMERGENT
i've always wanted you to know
how i got taken in
how i thought i was on top
in control of things
i guess i lied
to myself that is
there's no way i
am not winning this
i'll confess it all to you
but you won't understand
how they marched us up and down
put guns in our hands
then they asked me to report
and point it at my head
aw i laughed it off back then
but i was scared
the point of it all is this
the heart expects too much
we always hope an arrow hits
but they all miss
I've always wanted you to know...
