Paper Bag
03:26
|

i've got fingers & hands
I've got a head for a heart
i got a new pair of pants
i got a party to start
you hold hands with balloons as we walk in the park
i'm getting tired of you & your clever remarks
i like kissing boys in the dark
on the couch
on the weekend
in my girlfriend's house
i got a paper bag on my head
with a smile painted on in red
there's a cut in my mouth that i can't help but tongue
i'm 20 but i feel so goddamn young
i guess you gotta be drunk to be grown up
i'll throw up
& i'll throw us to the sharks
i like kissing boys in the dark
on the couch
on the weekend
in my girlfriend's house
my head's my home
my body a tomb

James Brown's Ghost
02:02
|

there's a car at my house
the taste of blood's in my mouth
spit it out
it keeps coming back again
i spit it out
but it comes back
there's a door in my mouth
i keep it shut for now
i'm afraid awful thing might come out
on my back
the trees sway drunk & angry
& i know that you won't save me from this
the sky's all black

Tambourine
02:18
|

my tambourine
i'll shake it
headache aching
til my ears they bleed
& you can't see
my face in all the places that we'll never be
& that's fine with me
my tambourine
i'll shake it
fucking waking up the kids asleep
their ABCs & 123s
they had it easier than me
or so it seemed
first you have it then you lose it
relax it's just amusing to be like me
if they want it then they take it
if not for real they fake it so expertly
(oh my god)
my tambourine
i'll shake it
limbs a-breaking
got my mouth to feed
i don't want
i need
i stuff it while my stomach eats the rest of me
cuz my brain's hungry
there's snakes in your grandmother's basement
there's pictures to take in the hall
i fell
you didn't call
it was done after all
got a mind to do something that i don't normally do
i've got a mind to do something that i would not normally do

Chickenshit
01:56
|
|||
saying bloody marys in the dark
the mirror can't see where we are
& i forgot where the lights turn on
we'll grow old & watch our bodies fall apart
so we sever like an untied knot
& i don't want to be just another one
& i wanna dance naked in the rain
with a smile on my face
that makes me look insane
all i see in front of me is emptiness
all i see in front of me's a wall that's painted black
your comfortable chickenshit life

A Swarm of Mind Bees
01:52
|
|||
a swarm of bees goes
in my ears & out my mouth
it's all i hear so
all the time
it drowns you out
fills me up
so it's all right

Feed Me a Stray Cat
02:19
|
|||
i wanna kiss you at a party
& never talk to you again
remember just the touch of your lips
& the softness of your skin
i'm spent
i always kinda knew you did this
i guess it's just the way it is
but i'm thinking maybe it's a bandwagon worth boarding
oh maybe this time count me in
i'm empty like a savings bank on xmas
& spiders stitch messages in my head
except i'm not some prize pig worth fair-bringing, no
put an apple in my mouth instead
i'm spent
(saying bloody marys in the dark)
(mirror can't see where we are)

emptiness
grows
it
swallows

Get Young
02:08
|
|||
there were drugs
& a boy who could swim in the ocean with lungs
that breathed underwater
& just because you're the subject of the songs that i sung
don't mean that you wanna get young
so we drink & we fuck
& forget about love
but i guess that we outta
i'm nothing but a kid
not 21
not anyone
but i got a drink to sip
that'll fuck me up like a bottle of vodka
i'll get drunk & beat a drum
that all of us can march along to
