I fall in love, then I'm out of my mind
Out of my mind in love again
I fall in love, then I'm out of my mind
Out of my mind in love
And the days, they go on by again
And the days, they go on by again
I find a job, then I'm out of my mind
Out of my mind at a job again
I find a job, then I'm out of my mind
Out of my mind at a job
I hope I'm fired and on my own again
I hope I'm fired and on my own again
And the days, they go on by again
And the days, they go on by again
I'm in love, I'm alone
Why do I keep doing this to myself?

Let's Hang Out
04:10
|
|||
|
Terrified of the news today / Injected
The whole scroll straight into my veins
Grabbed my pillow and started to scream
Drop-kicked all my metal machines / And so we
Pushed ourselves out into the light / Seventy-
-Two degrees Fahrenheit / Too
Too beautiful for a funeral
Washed our brains in a bucket of pearls
I wanna say that you're the one
Making Purgatory fun
You, you're not just anyone
Let's hang out until the sun goes down
Summer voices and a rattled cage / Instead of
Sixty hours working minimum wage
Talking latitude and longitude
Walking holes into the soles of our shoes
Stupid movies on a drive-in screen / Ignoring
Everyone but you and me / Too
Too beautiful for a cubicle
Watercolor in a charcoal world
I wanna say that you're the one
Crushing diamonds into dust
Cotton-candy witch hunt
Let's hang out until the sun goes down
I wanna say that you're the one
Making Purgatory fun
You, you're not just anyone
Let's hang out until the sun goes down
Hey
Terrified of the news today
I wanna say that you're the one
Making Purgatory fun
You, you're not just anyone
Let's hang out until the sun goes down

I was alone
When she appeared
From the unknown
And she told me:
"That dragon in the water
keeps diving to the bottom.
She's hunting pearls for barter
to be her own."
I didn't know
How bad it was
Until I saw
The dragon's blood
The kingsmen went for her heart
To keep her from the way out
They fought under the water
'Til it bled green
I'm in wasteland
There's no escapin'
It's so ugly
Next to the sea
Let's get plannin'
And let's get things hatching
And send the king packing
We won't give up that easy
Underwater the creatures teach daughters
The pearls at the bottom
Are heavier all because
This is how it goes when you sleep too long
Then you see what's in front of you
Oooooooh
I'm in a wasteland
I was alone
I didn't know
I was alone

Your Mother
03:22
|

|
I was 1G
None before me
Seed within seed
Eternally
Cut down the vine, magic in a bottle
Formaldehyde, just like in your novel
Red oversight, one after another
Clutch her too tight, hold her like your mother
White night, black fog
Tooth of wild dog
All shall back off
Death knell, ding-dong
Cut down the vine, magic in a bottle
Formaldehyde, just like in your novel
Red oversight, one after another
Clutch her too tight, hold her like your mother

You
Me
Her
You
Me
Dirt
Why’d you go away,
Valentine citrus?
I’ve got flowers for brains
Now you’re at home with her
You
Me
Her
You
Me
Dirt
Why’d you go away,
Lavender tempest?
I’ve got mud in my veins
Now she’s your home for sure
Why'd you go away? / Will I see you again?
Why'd you go away? / Will I see you again?
Will I see you again? / Why'd you go away?
Will I see you again?

You don't want me
This is just your greed, your greed
And I'm just a trophy
For private viewing only
I don't want any lip
I'm sick of hearin' 'bout your mother's tattoos
Be sure and tape up that rib
And here's some sugar for the horse that threw you
You want me around
You want me around
You want me around
But you don't want to be around me
I'm a needle in hay
And nobody's got a thimble
So leave someone for me
I'm too prickly for this world
Get out of my way
And no thanks for stealing my horseshoe
It's out of luck, anyway
So here's some sugar for the nag that threw you
You want me around
You want me around
You want me around
But you don't want to be around me

Microphone

Everybody loves a microphone
But nobody wants to be alone
You’re the perfect star to keep me warm
It’s a bright night driving home
Picture window, pagan tree
Your Catholic Guilt is killing me
Skippin' stones, bending dreams
Time-traveling and rewinding
Daydreaming in bed
Imaginary friend
All the bread and the milk are gone
I’ve got your pajamas on
Drive to work beneath the sun
Seasons change, Hyperion
Give me all the candy in the world
And then I’d be such a happy girl
I don’t care about the cavities
Give me everything you got that’s sweet
Daydreaming in bed
Imaginary friend
Add focus to the fuzz
Make it better than it was

I'm in a race against time
I need a raise
I need a raise right on time

Starlight Sun

|
We hate everyone and everything together
Hide away inside "The Twilight Zone" forever
I’ll bring a barking dog along
You bring your sketchbook and Ruby Woo
Litmus test: acid tongue
Knowledge base: the starlight sun
Guardian angel, special friend, chimera
Girl gang soulmate 'til the end, whatever
Tangled cornsilk on the plains
Fingers burning in the Gravitron
Brier nest, migrate on
Redhead crane, dance at dawn
Litmus test: acid tongue
Knowledge base: the starlight sun

Landlocked seaside in this Big Red home
Beats the shoreline to a pulp
Seasons clash in this prairie scene
I'm moonwalking through a dream
I hear lightning in the dark snow
Street lamps frozen to the bone
Silent footsteps, ghosts hide under coats
I hear the white thunder glow
Ice is melting though it's ten below
Powder harder than stone
Lost in a haze of scarlet and cream
The Island wind swallows your scream

No queen is benevolent
Though she may try
Too long on a pedestal
Poisons her mind
Just like her sword she's been forged in the flame
But as her blade dulls she loses her way
Back home
No queen is benevolent
Though she may try
So slick at compromise / Now she's
Just compromised
How can her head bear to hold up the crown
When all kings before her fed us to the hounds?
No more heroes, kings, or queens defined by zeroes in their names
No more heroes, kings, or queens defined by blood that’s in their veins
