I'm Out Here

I’m out here target shootin’ dishes of gold
Some random person told me
“You don’t need an alibi”
I’m out here cauterizin’ calendar cats
Installed a GPS so I can figure out
where they’re at
These placeholder lyrics
Have dodged another bullet or two
Charge another bull at the zoo
The latest version of the falling of Rome
Pinned to my fridge so I can see it
when I go to my home,
when go to my home
They’re really seasoning their toast
with more toast
They really tried to get me to invest
in their little scheme
A sentimental plague in Vampire land
Can’t I just sit here on the beach
and get myself a nice tan?
Tried to conflate it so that
they’d think I’m dumb
Tried to explain it but I’m feeling too dull
Dull

Ham Parade

Beautiful form
Out on the floor
It’ll only take forever to explode
Pennsylvania can float
If you give it a boat
You’ll believe it if I say it’s true
Cherry champagne
Cut it against the grain
For the band leader in the ham parade
So shine Jesus, shine
Fill the bland with color
We’ve stayed inside the lines
For far too long
They got it on film
Every second of my life
They hear my best ideas before I do
She smells the oats
Sweet wind summer is Scarlett’s dream
Those plans
They cover this this town
They penciled the cover
Stones won’t grow
Scream like a stoat
They penciled the cover
Stones won’t grow
Stones don’t grow

Glamour Hammer

Fill me in
I’m here to win
And you’re the very best player
SPORTS
They’re holding up this town
Look, the center is a ball
On the town
I’m chowing down
With Byron Brown
The old Mayor
WHOAH
That got political
But this song’s post-punk
That’s the goal
Winter scenes
and snowy trees
Are gelid dreams
In the summer
When I can’t take the heat no no
Vowels rhyme
There’s only five
The mother sounds combined
HEAR
The perfect word revealed
It’s “Vericoovenir”
Where’s the glamour
Alabama?
Grab a hammer, kid and
WORK
It’s worth its weight in dirt
Shake the rust off learn to flirt
Air and water
Mink and otter
Spring and autumn
All similar
In a whole lot of ways
They’re just friends
She knows it ends
When he contends
They be lovers
And she’s gotta say no, thank you
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Finally
It’s the end of the season
And it’s almost time to learn again

Time is a Dime
02:16

One is a difference two can make
But what is the difference?
I won’t take the time to cultivate that
Where does time go when she escapes?
Somebody said she oscillates
Between here and there, and back again
Slice of life
We’ve been living in one slice
Side by side
We can only see one slice

Hypoxia
01:24
|
|

The other day I nearly stumbled off
this mortal plane, yeah yeah
When you have ADD
it happens almost every day, yeah yeah
There’s Emma Watson in a Datsun
and it’s taking off, uh-huh
If she don’t close the top
she’ll suffer from hypoxia, oh no
The Marblympics held my interest
It was fun and so ambitious
Old “deaf child” signs suggests
The power of an instance
I got entwined in conversation and it happened fast, oh yeah
She traced an outline of my psyche on her plaster cast, yeah yeah

Machete Confetti

I never did that bit
When you lay and look at the clouds
with somebody else, no
I never did that bit
And boy does it show
Boy does it show
Machete Confetti
Fall from the sky
Machete confetti
It’s the apple of my eye
I never stock my cupboards with junk food
I’m always gonna quit tomorrow
Quit tomorrow
And change
Tomorrow
(No they couldn’t get over the wall)
He couldn’t get over the wall
So he sent a bunch of birds my way
So I’d know he was there
(No they couldn’t get over the wall)
I feel like I have a mild allergy
to my own blood
I haven’t sat in true comfort for decades
(Send the birds)
(Send the birds)
If Mark E. Smith were alive today
he’d definitely be taking credit for what
I’m doing right now
(No they couldn’t get over the wall)
It’s like that feeling you get
when you know something unsavory
is going to happen
But you don’t know when
And you don’t know what

There's Always Someone
02:19

I almost set a record
Just by steppin outside
I don’t wanna be perceived
But there they are
Wanna take a walk I guess
I really oughta exercise
But there they are
There’s always someone in the way
We got a universe
A whole entire universe
And it’s expanding every day
but here we are
Everybody wants affection
Everybody’s looking for attention
There you are
There’s always someone in the way
They can walk through the walls
Well I’ve seen it with my two eyes
They can stalk through your halls
It’s what they love to do
In their spare time
They can get in your door
So don’t even lock it anymore
They can climb through
your bedroom windows
and your closet
There’s always someone in the way

Starlin’
O darlin’
I’ve got a question for you
How can your colors
Although they’re different
Be the same?
A star
And his response was just
what you’d expect from
a bird like that
He said that he invented
a new color to replace black
Of course such arrogance
is to be expected from a bird
who hangs around with noisy friends
and looks like grease and eats dirt
Grease and eats dirt
Finally made it
Up to my rooftop tonight
Astounding the difference
Ten feet can make
Well it does
I can see for miles
All of the movements
In the windows are human
All of the movements are human
(Cowboys never)
All of the movements
(Cowboys never)
In the windows are human
(Cowboys never wave)
All of the movements are human
(Cowboys never)
All of the movements
(Cowboys never)
(You know know they never do)
In the windows are human
(Cowboys never wave)
(You know they never do wave)
All of the movements are human
(Cowboys never)
(You know they never do)
All of the movements
(Cowboys never)
(You know they never do)
In the windows are human
(Cowboys never wave)
(You know they never do wave)
There are no pets
There’s no plan
Well it’s a dusty road
But it’s travelled well
They say that good intentions
Pave the road to hell
But just sit for a minute
Sit next to me
Just sit and look at this beautiful tree
There’s the silver waves
And the vibratin’ space
And all the birds will sing
Cuz they’re in their place
And for a second
For a minute
For a brief slice of time
You can feel the freedom
That comes with that
