BLOODY KNUCKLES
02:51
|
|||
Scuffed up tennis shoes
She lives just one more chainlink over (back to you)
Back through the middle
With the wire cutters over my shoulder
Trampled the flowers coming over (all for you)
Back through the middle just a petty criminal
When my heart's on fire
I’ll burn my tongue for you
All the rich kids play their heartless music
while I’m crying over my bloody knuckles
Ain't it hard, to feel this good?
It ain’t hard to look this good
(All for you)
Oh, the band sounds like stage fright
like late night fighting
I want a normal life in here
And if all we’ve got to remember
Is a changing city
And scars from a chainlink accident
I’ll take that with me
When my heart's on fire
I’ll burn my tongue for you
All the rich kids play their heartless music
while I’m crying over my bloody knuckles
Ain't it hard, to feel this good?
It ain’t hard to look this good

DAGGER EYES
02:51
|

Your spit
Oh, It tastes like Mexican Coke
Sweetest things in life for free
I ain't gonna lose no sleep
Moving on from the factory
Sweetest things in life for free
We’re paying our dues to the Dagger Eyes
Like breaking my heart for the sixth time
Leaving it out for the Dagger Eyes
Heartbreak in the cutting room
I do it for me as much as I do it for you
I do it for me as much as I do it for you
Oh we’re running
On the roof of a moving train
Shaking off the Devil’s novocain
Passing by the downtown hustle
Like lightning in a rain delay
The lot is flooding
We’re paying our dues to the Dagger Eyes
Like breaking my heart for the sixth time
Leaving it out for the Dagger Eyes
Heartbreak in the cutting room
I do it for me as much as I do it for you
I do it for me as much as I do it for you
I do it for me as much as I do it for you
I do it for me as much as I do it for you

HURRICANE SHIMMY
01:56
|
|||
I'd run into a busy highway
If you were on the other side
Maybe get hit, maybe I'll die
for a chance to catch a ride
I'd dance through a violent hurricane
Just to keep you dry
Oh we move our feet till the sunrise in the East
If we make it out alive
I'd drive into the ocean
Just to learn to swim
Among a shiver of sharks
into the depths too dark
but I'll resurface again
I'd make a home in the airport
The Ghost of Terminal 3
Haunt 'round and 'round
till you come back to me
I'd dance through a violent hurricane
Just to keep you dry
We move our feet till the sunrise in the East
If we make it out alive
I'll fall down
Can't get tired of this
Saw a bat out of hell in a handbasket
We move our feet till the sunrise in the East
If we make it out alive
If we make it out alive
If we make it out alive

METS
02:08
|
|||
Staring at the sun in the garden we grow
I've been walking into spider webs wherever I go
I was overcome
When the music stops but the words keep coming
It'll never die if you keep humming along
I was overcome
When the Mets don't win and it hurts like sin
on your sunburnt skin, just do it again
I was overcome
360 Flip to Nose Blunt, baby
Digging deeper than a Shin Bruise maybe
I was overcome
To live for a moment when the moment has passed
I was slipping through your fingers, fingers of glass
I was overcome
On my walk to therapy
where the sidewalk meets the edge of the weeds
I was overcome

PANTONE KARAOKE
02:50
|
|
||
I walk through every evening
I’m worn and torn in the right way
Pantone Karaoke with your new girlfriend
Looking over your shoulder at the ATM
Barkeep, I’m gonna need another
I only have her old phone number, aww
Pantone Karaoke with your new girlfriend
Looking over your shoulder at the ATM
I put my two weeks in
Four years wasting my time
or did you just waste mine?
Alright bring the drums in
Oh the Rainbow Kid
Aw he strikes again
Oh the Rainbow Kid
at the Pantone Karaoke...
I stumble into my old ways
Jukebox fistfight gone sideways
Pantone Karaoke with your new girlfriend
Looking over your shoulder at the ATM
Barkeep, I’m gonna sing another
Local superstar, pride of my mother, aww
Pantone Karaoke with your new girlfriend
Looking over your shoulder at the ATM
Oh, I put my two weeks in
Four years wasting my time
or did you just waste mine?
Alright bring the bass in...
Oh the Rainbow Kid
Aw he strikes again
Oh the Rainbow Kid
at the Pantone Karaoke...

NITE STAIRS
02:32
|
|
||
I’ve been left to rust in a sun shower
Kicking up the dust in a wildfire
Maybe meant to try and go it alone
I don’t think that’s true
Since I met you
Falling in love like missing every last step in the dark
Black eye just to say I want another try
Falling in love like winning every race on a false start
Miles ahead just to find out that I’ve gone too far
Oh, I’ve gone too far
Apologize to a ringtone
We don’t talk anymore
Gonna take the long way home, comfortably alone
Do you think of me like I think of you?
Do you think of me when I think of you?
Falling in love like missing every last step in the dark
Black eye just to say I want another try
Falling in love like winning every race on a false start
Miles ahead just to find out that I’ve gone too far
Oh, I’ve gone too far

NEW YORK 2002
01:35
|
|||
Sun never sets on a pale blue summer
Bottle of gas station wine loading us up right
Throwing up on the floor like it's the first time
See the color of your eyes like it's the first time
I was looking for a vice when I found you
New York 2002, it was all I could imagine
Looking for a vice when I found you
Fall asleep in the passenger seat
while we're waiting at the red light
Dark blue in the morning suits you
glowing in the low light
You leave it all behind like this, this is the last time
But you say it like you know this will never be the last time
I was looking for a vice when I found you
New York 2002, it was all I could imagine
Looking for a vice when I found you
When I found you
When I found you
When I found you
When I found you

VACATION TORTURE
02:44
|
|||
I'm alone in my bed with these faded freckle memories instead
Dead stars shine bright before we forget
It's a sun seekers paradise
where you fall in love with the Grim Reaper like me
I wanted you to like me
No one ever wants to feel like that
You're just like Vacation Torture
No one ever wants to feel like that
I'm just like Vacation Torture
Vacation Torture
Vacation Torture
Vacation Torture
Oh, virtuously patient like life is a waiting room
I could pretend I never think about you anymore
but it's overly saturated, highly defined, crystal clear
nothing is alright in paradise
No one ever wants to feel like that
You're just like Vacation Torture
No one ever wants to feel like that
I'm just like Vacation Torture
No one ever wants to feel like that
You're just like Vacation Torture
No one ever wants to feel like that
I'm just like Vacation Torture
Vacation Torture
Vacation Torture
Vacation Torture
Torture

FLOATING BLUE
03:13
|
|

I thought of you for a New York minute again
Stepping out in the freezing rain
Fruit stand vampire watching me as I
Sneak a drink on the subway train
And it’s all we could do
And the darkest nights are always blue
At least for you
I’m floating out in the Rockaways
Not a care in my mind
I’d rather surf to a watery grave than ever
Leave those thoughts of you behind
And it’s all we could do
And the darkest nights are always blue
At least for you
You take the boy out of New York
You never take it out of me
You take the boy out of New York
Ahhh-ah!
You never take it out of me
I flew the coop at a young age
I cut my own hair now
All the pigeons over Starr Street
Find their way home somehow
And it’s all we can do
When you’re falling just enjoy the view
It’s all we can do
I thought of you while I was doing laundry
A perfect time to overthink
I wonder what you’d do if you saw me
All my whites are turning pink
And it’s all we could do
And the darkest nights are always blue
At least for you
You take the boy out of New York
You never take it out of me
You take the boy out of New York
Ahhh-ah!
You never take it out of me

SLEEPTALKER
02:05
|
|||
Night creatures talking through the day
Sunbathing, uncomfortable and afraid
Oh, I'm toss and turning staring at the ceiling
Sleeptalker, you were sweet talking nothing to me
I broke the dream machine, I broke the dream machine
I watch a nightmare unfold all around me
I close my eyes, wide awake...
I was overcome, too much to fix before a setting sun
Deep sleep through the alarms
Like waking up in another person's open arms
Waiting for another part
Well, I'm toss and turning staring at the ceiling
Sleeptalker, you were sweet talking nothing to me
I broke the dream machine, I broke the dream machine
I watch a nightmare unfold all around me
I close my eyes, wide awake...

DYSLEXIC POETRY
03:26
|
|||
I left my voice at the bar
saying the wrong things right from afar
We're like lightning without the thunder
miswrote your name and your number
Forgetting the words we always play
I'm a sore throat singer of dyslexic poetry
Misread queues in the dark
nowhere to go and nowhere to start
I'm like an overly confident romancer
too sure of a definite wrong answer
Spinning songs for all to see
I'm a sore throat singer of dyslexic poetry
Ooh hearts, faded like bathroom wall art
Bury me out in the last call
Promise to run if the getaway stalls
Ooh we fall asleep like two moths underneath the butterfly tree
Bury me out in the last call
Shotgun wedding in a bathroom stall
The silence could be heard through the payphone wall
from the glance at the bar to my untimely fall
you were everything to me
Cause you never fell for my dyslexic poetry
Ooh hearts, faded like bathroom wall art
Bury me out in the last call
Promise to run if the getaway stalls
Ooh we fall asleep like two moths underneath the butterfly tree
Bury me out in the last call
Shotgun wedding in a bathroom stall

PATIENCE (ft. SORRY MOM)
02:50
|
|||
Your face lights up, toe-to-toe with the sunset
Oh, young and in love, too fast to outrun but we...
We waited so patiently, oh we waited so patiently
You chipped your teeth as a bottle opener
why couldn't they love you like you were?
Oh, young and in love
Mistakes to outrun but we
We waited so patiently, oh we waited so patiently
You'll smoke a cigarette between the cars
I'll never stop chasing her
We'll burn like a comet in the stars
Awh, burn it up, baby I'm over it
Too young to be fucking it up
So young and you're falling in love
Go to sleep when the suns coming up
It's never perfect but it might be enough
I'm not tired yet but we stayed awake for tomorrow
and if this is love I'd be too dumb to outrun it
We waited so patiently, oh we waited so patiently
I gave myself tattoo, I did em both for you
and if this is love, nothing left to outrun but we
We waited so patiently, oh we waited so patiently
You'll smoke a cigarette between the cars
I'll never stop chasing her
We'll burn like a comet in the stars
Awh, burn it up, baby I'm over it
Too young to be fucking it up
So young and you're falling in love
Go to sleep when the suns coming up
It's never perfect but it might be enough

DISARRAY
02:26
|
|||
Am I running out of tears of joy?
Eulogy for a sunset cowboy
Fallen in the lap of luxury
Back of the crown jewelry
There's a weight to the wind, I swear
like thieves in the midnight air
I need to catch my breath running down highways
It's like violence in my head
when we're letting go of memories
to the silence in my head
let's embrace the disarray
It's hard keeping secrets you don't like
I'm sober now, remember everything from last night
but I'm still just a...
Distracted magazine flicker
A passion dependent bread-winner
A smoke break babysitter
A bench clearing home run hitter
It's like violence in my head
when we're letting go of memories
to the silence in my head
let's embrace the disarray
let's embrace the disarray
let's embrace the disarray
let's embrace the disarray
let's embrace the disarray
