69 All Night 02:32
I fucked your grandma In church last night She says it's her last supper So it's alright I was cruising In her back roads A little cobwebs But that's what a dick's for She says she's got non of them STD's Cause they test them at the nursing home So that's a win I already feel bad cuz I already fucked Your mom and dad, your sister's next We 69'd all night

Moss Creek 02:45
I would love to hit the river but I’m already swamped Can’t find the time to see those friends of mine I would love to see you again But my contacts all dried up Can’t find the time To fit you in my life Or do I shut myself away A cockatoo in an unlocked cage Let all the minutes ooze through the cracks And watch them turn to the past İi would love to hit the river but im already swamped can’t find the time To fit you in my life I would love to see you again But my contacts all dried up Can’t find the time To see those friends of mine Or do I shut myself away A cockatoo in an unlocked cage Let all the minutes ooze through the cracks And watch them turn to the past Or do I shut myself away A cockatoo in an unlocked cage Let all the minutes ooze through the cracks And watch them turn to the past And watch them turn to the past

When it’s no fun to do what we’re doin Why do we keep doin it Seems misery loves dragging us down to her depths If the front and back are locked, I guess we’re going thru the window Every lesson I learned I’ve been sure to quickly forget Every time there are loose ends Feels like we’ve lived this day before Compressed tween the ceiling and the floor If we get the money back I’m not sure what more we can ask for Every time there are loose ends Sick at the thought of tasting another lover’s cooking Vibrant nightmares of waking up in someone else’s bed Breaking hearts is a cruel way to demand attention Love the sound of our voice when we say what we already said Every time there are loose ends Feels like I’ve lived this day before Compressed between the ceiling and the floor if we got our money back I'm not sure what else we could ask for

Chain wrapped around my neck Dragging through the doldrums Desperation Desperation as is crying Writing on windows, closing your eyelids Prozac means sleepiness and dizziness No reason No reason for it Celebration is emancipation Bike riding can be patient Leave the oven door open to prevent a hanging Say you're sorry but don't mean it Burn a rosary, sing plastic jesus sing plastic jesus, sing plastic jesus Burn a rosary, sing plastic jesus sing plastic jesus, sing No reason No reason for it Try to add it up, try to make it even Try to close the tab before you lose count drinking Try to make it sensical against all odds Impossible to see through all the mirrors and facades No reason for it

I love my Plastic Forearm I hate my Plastic Forearm Billy's hands outstretched to reach his favorite 5G ray He's trying to get service to his handheld acne brain When his fingers lock like deadbolts, his skin polypropylene And his face stared back at him from an empty blank screen He looked at the others on the street They were all just looking down At their very own Plastic Forearm I love my Plastic Forearm The cool kids say scoliosis is a right of passage Being terminally online's never been such an asset But is worth Billy's baddest bone just to send a message He looked at the others on the street They were all just looking down At their very own Plastic Forearm Go and walk your dog Take a friend to eat Walk around your yard With nothing on your feet Go and kick a can, skip rocks on a lake Sit on the phone, but make no mistake You're wasting precious time Love wasting precious time There's always an out to find You should've seen his fucking face this time I love my Plastic Forearm I hate my Plastic Forearm

Guitar Thief 04:10
When the feedback still pierces the room The lights are low and the amps hum with the soft glow of electric tube While you go enjoy that post-set cigarette by the car I hope she steals your guitar When the baby hairs on the back of your neck Stand up at the mere prospect of fucking aren’t you lucky While we flirt your gear lied vulnerable in your 1997 hatch back I hope she steals your guitar Time collapses Here we stand You breathe out Where I end you begin When the headliner can’t remember our names It won’t pierce an ego so callous so vain I’ll feel no shame In the morning when I wake up with a mouth of sand and head full of tar I hope she steals my guitar

Well I got myself a whole pint of Jack I like to sit down and forget the past If I think too straight, it'll drive me mad You haven't seen it all until you've seen it all Don't lie about the truth it'll break your soul I kiss my ring for my wife, she don't like me but she sticks by Hold 'em high Hold 'em low Catch 'em right before they grow Will the circle be unbroken finally Will the circle be unbroken finally Breathing of understanding Dawn is always the brightest My clothes on my back seems to be all who I am I can't lie still my shotgun will spill Pour a cup of coffee, drink it with soil To grow a whole aisle, figure out where the register is Hold 'em high Hold 'em low Catch 'em right before they grow Will the circle be unbroken finally Will the circle be unbroken finally Rejoice and see what happens next Rejoice with me my darling, Rejoice with me and see what happens next What happens next? Rejoice Will the circle be unbroken finally Will the circle be unbroken finally

These cowgirls are drinking too much whiskey and not enough water If they’ve got somebody kind and warm at home They must’ve forgot her Hours melt to days, familiar conversation treads the same path Over and over again She tells him don’t stop keep his eyes on hers locked all her favorite songs end on the same verse that they begin These cowgirls will write you a love song without thinkin The only time you’ll trust a word they say is when they’re singing Knowin that your door is always open they’ll excuse themselves Inside out and outside in again They’ll mosey any day best watch what you say your last words to them will get twisted into a refrain All of my nightmares they keep on coming true Cuz baby when I close my eyes the only thing I dream of is you No matter how much I shake my ass I can’t Seem to shake on past these cowgirl blues These cowgirls are tracing a line from my throat to my breasts to my belly to my 🔫 The band is missing all the right notes Regulars gone rowdy Yea she comes here often smokin reds out on the back porch laughing Over and over again She tells him don’t stop keep his eyes on hers locked all her favorite songs end on the same verse that they All of my nightmares they keep on coming true Cuz baby when I close my eyes the only thing I dream of is you No matter how much I shake my ass I can’t Seem to shake on past these cowgirl blues

Bird Jaguar the Great Was too stoned and weird to Stop and buy a favor for the house party Snacks and drinks for all her friends No one was surprised Still we are so grateful For her calming presence Her laughter a golden inflorescence reaching 40,00 feet in the air What are you doin up there? Is there room in the sky for the birds in the breeze if we can’t see them? What a treat to eat What a treat to drink What a treat to breathe in the air He vapes on a plane and sets off the alarm Ruling over vast Swaths of heaven and earth Paternal shame still drives her compulsion A federal agent arrests them at his earliest convenience 40,00 feet in the air What are you doin up there? Is there room in the sky for the birds in the breeze if we can’t see them? If we can't see them, if we can't see them floating around Define the either from the substance, tell the fore from the background We'll lose all sense of direction, we'll lose the spoils of what we're owed We'll take what we need without asking, we'll piss in the watering hole Even if we get our shit together, and find some good paying jobs There’ll be no dignity in our labor, no skin left binding our jaw See when Bird Jaguar the Great carved the heart out of my chest She didn't do it for fame or profit She was only doing what we all knew was best She was the queen of the season Whoever you are, I want to listen

Odds & Ends 04:19
I am a googly eye I am a battery that's gone up and died I am a tube of glitter glue that's long since gone bone dry I am a paperclip I am a dirty old sticker that doesn't even stick I am a bootleg Lego man that's been amputated at the neck And all my friends are just as strange We've all got funny names All us odds and ends we stick together I am a wrinkled, defeated, snot ragged scratch off I'm a '56 wheat penny that got scraped off the sidewalk I am the golden medallion of a once participating Miller High Life twist off And all my friends are just as strange We've all got funny names All us odds and ends we stick together And all my friends are just thew same We're all a bit deranged All us odds and ends All us odds and ends and ends stick together All us odds and ends We stick together
