some of them are in love are pairing off are fairly obvious are knotted up have fallen off are saddened by the loss are holding hands work for the man are fairly versatile take polaroids are overjoyed are branded all the while have heard enough can tear it up are spanish officers are breaking up are still in love are handed all the loss some of us don’t feel the need are careful not to speak can barely walk are carrying along are making up already know are holding on

One 04:23
two more it’s social this crawling up the stairwell on this sofa it’s far too comfortable take cover, just stalling for the moment two-four at least so far is calling us to bed one sooner or later some saturator in a cat-suit offers self up knew you would wait like watergate to meet in back halls one will enrage you will elate you it’s all for naught i sink across newer and stranger and double the danger a twist in the plot a trigger to itch a son of a bitch i tolerate a return to the stage sooner than later sooner than late two more, I’m so torn, no further explanation are gorgeous, just two more in the way are soulful, and both are beautiful to go for, that’s all I said i’d want we’ll both say hi

i’ve seen the aphid world, it’s patterned so bright back then the aphid said it mattered, so i sent the ancient world a memo my demo’s much better than your candlelight wait for the answer, choke on the same fight through the strain frown at the bay stay for the answer don’t crawl away my friend the aphid said it’s standard so i salivated on the desert hope I wave in the face of all the hazards cancers bastards and satellites the joke’s on the way straight for the answer, fold up the frame wait while the answer remains the same stay for the answer we’re all afraid wait for the phrase my final answer is nothing will change and while you wait for your things to go wrong and you take all your feelings along i see your face in the words of this song and now it’s over wait till it frays your stalker awaits stay for the answer you’re still twenty-eight i swear the answer has no expiration date wait for the end
5.
Tire Fire 04:28
say you’re a spy and come around seen on the sly and shutting down the first day you’re in town the worst was never found but they left something out failure is fine so crumble down let’s make it right you won’t be found the last recorded sound the standard is profound till maxwell rolls around tire fire take out all the air take off all the stares so what? i kissed you last night, we’re older now these ancient fights get sanded down the lantern sputters out the naysayers abound till Saturn runs aground god damn take cover, my only bride we’ll meet up in oceanside inferno comes up to my hotel room all fine tonight to the last time we’d be seen you’d remember in a dream losing track of whereabouts
6.
Dick Dale 04:22
it comes to pass and now you claim that you’ve done worse before how can the next of your fool statements be this good? do what you weren’t allowed it’s suddenly all about what matters i guess you’re famous now i still could do without the chatter and while you seem so frail you can blow the rails that shit never fails you can ask dick dale we pinky swore an oath listening to steppenwolf the second back seat was her idea and though it wasn’t real it happened i’ll stay here for a little bit, but please just don’t go into it man supposed king of rock and roll clutching tuna rolls in his hand s-scratching at his eczema, just a little pressure off yeah refusing to see anyone in case he sees her again just in case he meets her again [morris day noises] it’s totally dangerous she’s kicking it up a notch so sour now all my cash is gone and so she fashions onion flowers no going back until you’re able to decipher it so at the end it seems these strangers are all permanent

two aeronauts two fair robots hastily reload two aeronauts explode two handlebars a chatterbox that gracefully erodes we forgot there’s surely nowhere to go but it’s much too early to say hello a samovar a man-o-war that hails from portugal to err or not through narrow parts tell me something though roll out the mat my craft has had your landing pad these shadows all ended bad don’t sell it back takes one to know your words echo so shall it go said junkpile fool moon ago to go intact to lay it flat to pay it back a sneak attack to paddle back to want it bad a file-o-fax too proud to last

less and more you’re all about i am not so young once you know your way around say phenomenon this is not a paradise shut up fuck off this is not a sure way shut your mouth instant shores have overcast and it won’t take long this and more will surely pass i am not so far gone this is not a shorter way it’s been blotted blurred away take your aim third approach is more direct lighting faces up there are much stronger bonds that connect them to you than those between us this is part of memory yes I know to elevate tame your whore notice me comfort me connect the pieces answer me completely do not speak

panda land 04:54
give this all a rest give yourself a medal wish you all the best wish you had it better and whether or not we fooled ourselves into screwing we knew what we were undoing now your shoes are off now you’re losing traction take your tablecloth take your television it is unlike you to stick around for conclusions to pick apart the illusions panda land she stays on bonnie brae she stays just off of lake merritt she wants to be the same she’s at the troubadour she’s at 400 bar after she’s going after more she’s going back and forth a tiny world of her choosing she finds it all so confusing

a hot meal a spec deal it’s a gig away the same trio James Dio trade away appeal with the same feel fade away aha booked solid fat wallet made their way rain fallin’ Joe Stalin parade away straight ballin’ is our main callin’ fadeaway a sick writer free with flyer and a chick on bass bic lighters foo fighters pay to play a gun hired in a remote diner takes their place you wake up, no makeup on too hollow to follow what’s going on too real to conceal, you clean yourself up you light up and mic up it’s quite alright it’s quite a night
12.
Bombs Away 02:20
i know you won’t turn it down you fell in love with the sound she stays at home by herself too underfed to come out let’s turn you out tune you out i break the news gently now with baited breath and a frown we face the truth without a sound and all the grace we’re allowed let’s move along turn this on do it wrong let’s make it impressive, bombs away spectacular fourth of july display let’s make it eventful one more time one lasting impression to remember us by let’s make an example of how it should be and run out of the shadows hazardously she tastes like an apple a kiss for the road we brace for explosion

don’t say anymore chloroform and halogen all the way i found I can steer straight around allison, anyway saw through you all the way i brought you in anyway i saw this exact thing once before i’ll make you afraid surely now it feels a serenade if you play anymore you’re sure to get bored and fail in it anyway the oceans are rolling back i wade through the aftermath i sung this exact same tune before she makes you she breaks you don’t you know debase you deflates you and cruise along she’ll love you no fuck yous no tantrums debates you she shames you to come along replace you reshapes you to show everyone instates you embrace you she says you were wonderful after all
