Mirror mirror
Mirror reflect
Mirror in my mind
Turning you
I turn you into my longest running sigh
The sound
Of a squeaky door
Blowing in a breeze
Sweeping through my mind
Mirror mirror reflect
My worst angle, my ugly side
Leaning on a hair trigger temper, yeah
Take it easy bud
Every time you walk by
Hello hello, hello how are you?
Mirror mirror, mirror mind
Hello today how are you?
Leaning on a hair trigger temper, yeah
Take it easy bud

Too Hott

It's too hot
I can't sleep
No socks
On my feet
Point the fan away from
Point it at my knees
So in the morning I can breath
I need a rainstorm, I need a dream
I need to rest, I need to rest
I need to rest my heavy head
It's too hot to sleep tonight
Is the fan on?
I don't believe it
Is it set to max?
That brings barely a breeze in
The dog's hot
A hot dog between us
I huff and puff and I breathe the green in
But the dream won't come
My heavy head slips past the bed
And further down
The Summer's only started out
It's already too hot to sleep
It's too hot to sleep tonight

Time of my life
Time of my life
I'm having the time of my life hahahahaha
Eighty days it doesn't seem like much
It doesn't seem so bad
I mean what's the rush?
I like to stay inside
I like to get wrapped up
I don't need anything,
I don't need anyone
I am the fizz
I am the pop
I am the mercury, its rising to the top
I am a vessel for
A hundred martian dreams
That might sound weird to you
Maybe I'm floating away
I see you sucking down
All those turkey legs
And now the world has come unbuttoned
Rotten gone rotten!
The riot's on the lawn
I pack a bag like I know what's going on
But I don't know anything
Time of my life
Time of my life
I'm having the time of my life yep.

9PM Curfew

The curfew starts at 9
We already can't go
And now we can't go out again
The grip on your wrist
Just got tighter
I snap click
There goes the lighter
Jake just turned 25 and the Mayor says that we can't meet up
I used to think I had some pull but I've got none
I think that's bullshit, I think the Mayor should shut up
I used to think I had some pull but I've got none
Everyone agrees
It's a real police state
25 might have to wait
At least until next year
Oh I'm sorry Jake, I'm sorry New York State
Might have to wait
Jake just turned 25 and the Mayor says that we can't meet up
I used to think I had some pull but I've got none
I think that's bullshit, I think the Mayor should shut up
I used to think I had some pull but I've got none

Cancelled

If you made plans I think you'd better cancel them
And no one's getting what they want
The skate park's sanded over
There is no starting over
No one's getting what they want
If you made plans, think you better cancel them

100,000 Dreams
01:24
|

Have I forgotten how to
Actually be someone
Head spin, tail spun
I walk up to the edge
I can't seem to see anyone
I dream a thousand dreams but
I can't remember one
I dream a hundred thousand dreams
I can't remember one
I saw an opening
I saw a way back in
And when that didn't work
I thought well that's it
I'm trapped in what's happening
Waiting for the needle to clip
I dream a thousand dreams but
I can't remember one
I dream a hundred thousand dreams
I can't remember one

The Problem
01:35
|
|

|
The dream is still a dream
The pain is gasoline
City Hall is burnt toast
The Mayor's toe begins to roast
I put these garbage words
Into the garbage disposal
They don't mean nothing
Under the grip
Of an ivory whip
I'm ashamed to say it's half mine
Well I'm used to solving problems
What can I do?
To change the world
When I'm living in the basement
Of the men who built the world, yuck
What happens next?
I'm totally lost
I am the problem

Sweary sweary sminey smoh
That is how the mower sounds
In the backyard when you mow
My deary dairy little queen of the hill
Thinking up a thousand thoughts
In the backyard when you mow
The setting sun casts a clementine
Shine on your pink nose
Makes a sherbet out of the face i know
I fall over and over again
