Tatonka 03:35
Somewhere between drowning in the sweet honey And the shaking arm I float on a herd of buffalo running Down the boulevard I’m dead I’m gone again Buffalo, I’ll follow you back home Through the snowy wilderness we’ll roam And I’ll fall asleep With you next to me No bad news or upsets Just tattoos and drum sets I’m dead I’m gone again (I'm dead and gone but I live on) Summertime You don’t know I’m back in the saddle again

It’s 1997 I’m dead I’m dead My ghost floats over my bed My head is empty To the sea, to the sea, to the sea I’m floating My ghost cannonballs into the foam And I’m sinking Eyes unblinking As I descend Liberated from requiring air to breathe Suddenly I’m free This is heaven Underwater (Loose from my mooring) Underwater (I’m soaked and soaring) My soul spurns the grave Underwater (Forever touring) Underwater (Death isn’t boring) I think here I’ll stay The ocean floor I’ll haunt Forever if I want

Cool Twins 03:36
I still follow the popular girls on Instagram Although they probably still don’t know who I am I never felt as low as I did in high school, baby Let’s have a smoke in the cemetery Let’s take it slow I never felt as low as I did in high school, baby I’m floating in the stream Why won’t you lay with me I’m suffering so I’m throwing rocks at your window I’m suffering so
4.
My Dog 03:52
my dog, my dog he opened his mouth and he spoke to me his tongue rolled long it tickled my face and i could see his teeth he said to me you stupid son of a bitch you're worth nothing bring me skeletons to chew feed me flesh and i'll free you deep inside we’ll burn anew you're such a stupid man lick your paws til blood is drawn feed the beast and feast til dawn
5.
Baby please Won’t you come back to me Love ain’t free but it’s cheap When you’re with me We could live in a tree Reading old magazines Running wild and free Baby please Won’t you come back to me I don’t need anything else

More Tattoos 03:15
I found some pictures of you From back when we were in school Goddammit things sure have changed I've got way more tattoos But I feel way less cool What's happening to my brain now? I get panic attacks I feel like I can't breathe That never happened before This disease makes me feel trapped In a body I can't leave It's happening more and more now I've gotta get out of this skin The corner I've painted me in I'll shed it and be born again I found some pictures of you From back when we were in school And I didn't feel so deranged "A nine to five I won't do" I was such a damn fool To my desk I feel chained now I can't fight it This urge to get up and run or hide or flee 'Cause I can't justify fight or flight When the threat is inside me
7.
Run Forever 02:59
Somewhere some bells are ringing Downstairs the siren’s singing I brush sleep from my eyes and Set sights on the horizon I made fire where there was none I made feet that jump and run I’m alive and young and I’ll die by my gun God I’ll run forever There’s pits of snakes to fall in There's hungry wolves calling But I’ve spent too long waiting My warrior face is painted
8.
Fall 02:57
The trees change clothes Autumn ghosts haunt the streets And wild blows the wind through the pines Summer grew cold Autumn leaves crunch beneath feet And I see monsters all the time Winter will claim us So now who could blame us for falling Like the leaves from the trees Zip-ups and jeans Store debris from piles of leaves We’re jumping in Giddy with delight Vacant of seeds A grinning host lines the streets Their smiles glow in the city night Winter will claim us So now who could blame us for falling Like the leaves from the trees On every block Houses get rolled On this sidewalk We’re at home
9.
Black dog in the sunlight gleaming The rays beat down Looks back through the curtains at me Where I lay on the couch I feel strange and I wanna go exploring I feel lame that I stay right here The day fades and I can’t seem to ignore it I’m in space, yeah, I’m not quite here (Take me out tonight) I died a thousand time for this, my great escape (Do you even want it? Do you even care?) I met a sweet virgin werewolf Her face all hair Caved in in a blanket tunnel She’s stuck down there
10.
11 Years 01:08
Eleven trips around the sun I won’t come back Eleven years before I’m done I won’t come back When I die I wish you would Spread my ashes in the woods Back behind my parents’ house Where I used to play for hours In my boyhood Eleven trips around the sun I won’t come back Eleven less than everyone I won’t come back (my ghost plays pretend) (my ghost is its own best friend)

If you tattoo your dog with your telephone number and family name It might seem like a prudent choice but your dog will never be the same You might get him back alive If he runs away too far But when he’s back at home he’ll sure resent the scar The tattoo gun sounds just like a miniature vacuum cleaner does It sucks right up his spirit of adventure and erodes his trust How much quality of life Should we sacrifice So we might not die early Sometimes I’m tempted to let him off the leash let the dog do what he please set him free to stay or leave But i’m too scared the first step that he’ll take Will be to the street where the cars won’t hit their brakes submit to the needle! (can you really control me?) So go on tattoo up your pup You’ll do it out of love Just remember if he holds a grudge He might mistake the hand that feeds for food and you’ll draw back a bloody stump
