Big Bangs 02:52
Once there was nothing then there was me. I wasn't what I expected I would be. I did the big bangs. I did the head bang. The rock&roll things. Once there were sparks flown in tritoned liberty. Life started pouring from abandoned parts of me. We did the big bangs. We did the head bang. The rock&roll things like sisters three. It's the age of circumstance, rock&roll won't take me back now that all the stars are settled on the map. It's the courage that I lack. Rock&roll won't take me back now that all the stars are settled on the map. We did the big bangs. We did the head bang. The rock&roll things like sisters three. Once there was nothing then there was me.

What the flattery man and what the come-ons? It's old like me, it gets old with me. I get feeling so bad each time you call. You know time isn't cheap and I can't sleep. Your stare is slick like cream & citrus. How'd we get to be so close? You must know the right commitments and I must not delude my own. Now the time has come and gone and look at all the ways we've won. Now the time has come to go on and look at all the ways we're alone.

Secular 03:04
Way up above the city where you asked me 'do geese see god?' that's when I asked you backwards and it answered for itself. Way up way up above me I see the tundra in the sky. Hanging alone from nothing and fading with the night. It's all shalala shalala shalala.

It's Friday night the good old way. The money that I never made, I drink it in. It's pay night on the paler side. I celebrate the greener pastures by for whatever reason. Got two feet for wandering funny all they do is squander and two hands to work with dig a little hole and drop me in. Friday night and hopes are high. We may never know the other side. It's only make-believe.

Talk to Me 01:59
6.
Two by two by two the future moves itself in a line Two by two each little world a figment of mine Oh to be gracious not to get tricked to compute Oh how I slipped when they stopped telling me what to do Snow on snow you Northern bird, your home of hell Everything your parents gave you now you sell Oh the degrees pushing down on my chest and my knees Don't doubt it Isabella I'll be on your team I want to feel the red sun rising in the morning from underneath the snow spilling from my window I want to fly like geese fly early in the morning No cell phone, no evidence of home Ocean blue moves like I used to down the hall Lucas lion heart stay true you've got it all

Butter 02:01
I can socialize, look them in the eyes but everybody's making me sad. Guess I'll get back into bed. I've got this city wrapped like a wedding band but I can't be nobody's wife. but I can please till I'm blue in the head. Words hurt, I learned your name. Things were never the same. I'm never gonna fake ya. Oh friend oh friend if I had to pick an end I'd pick the one I know best, I hope to see you Sunday. Should've known, no, should've gone home but I can't always be so wise, plus you were always on my mind. Words hurt, I learned your name. Things were never the same. I'm never gonna fake ya. Oh friend oh friend if I had to pick an end I'd pick the one I know best, I hope to see you Sunday. I can socialize, look them in the eyes but everybody's making me sad.

Finer Things 03:35
There goes another siren, I counted seven. Him and her strolling, millenial heaven. Black top badlands, you're the one with big plans this I know. Now you're on the front step, I made you a key set. We're writing a book called 'the time we spend.' While outside there're kids on the street playing kick the can. And as hopeless as I am, I've come to understand the finer things of life and as restless as I am, I've come to understand the finer things of life. There goes another siren, I really can't stand it. Makes my head sick imagining sadness. The pictures in my mind are scarier than life sometimes I know. And as hopeless as I am, I've come to understand the finer things of life and as restless as I am, I've come to understand the finer things of life.

The Band 03:27
Every bad mistake I make I've made them all Has got it's right place I want to be alone How come I miss the things I hate Where have they gone? I'm finally alone The band broke up, I got stupid drunk I loved you underneath, Drove to Seneca lake I used to have money My friends used to look up to me We fell asleep in the tub I said I was giving up Beat the band, own the plan, Close the gaps with your eyes Sometimes the people you love don't love you right Line them up, knock them down I will always hurt myself and so will everyone else I've got no one to tell So I learned how to lie for that short time I didn't know myself. I had no one else Got pulled over, chipped my shoulder It was your birthday. I gave you tickets to the show Have you ever held a good thing by the length of your arms? Have you been so messed up you forget who you are? Oh what fun the waterfall with hoodie and all I could feel the weight of the water through the back of the wall And in just a year things can feel so weird We were hell bent back then, now I don't care That isn't me now, Now I'm more found I am the wise guy. I occasionally get by You are you are you are you are right to let go Could you could you could you be a stranger on the road?
