follow the trail of cigarette butts and beware of karate chops and uppercuts. don't let yr good old guard down. don't let yrself get caught up in the whole rocknroll thingm, it's embarassing under no circumstances anybody say cheese i was on yr shoulders underneath an overcoat so we would seem so tall so we would seem so adult be careful of my little toe toenail hangin on by a thread the crowd cheered me on cos i didn't bang my head. the ocean is a cold matress i was on yr shoulders underneath an overcoat so we would seem so tall so we would seem so adult i dunno whats in me thumping but it's clearly something up to no good i need several naps, several baths or i will collapse i can't relax a kind of spiral conflict a final fanfic fuss

search party party 03:09
lyrics
buy track
beautiful day, i got it wrapped up. i'd rather rip it up. i love you baby i thought i lost you under the ripples in the bathwater was it all fake just a little? i didnt want to just let go of it all it's a search party party and its a surprise the kind you get shriveled up and overanalyzed it's for the best, a kind of motorik death, real corporeal everyone knows "how are you" doesnt really mean "how are you" it means "how do i get to where i'm going next" but whats worse are all these car horns, charcoal drawings on chalkboards, sidewalk walkers with their DUIs and the feeling that yr feelings have been minimized i forget yr kids' names again i got regrets, outnumber my secrets. impossible it's a search party party and its a surprise the kind you get shriveled up and overanalyzed it's for the best, a kind of motorik death, extra for real. and it costs more than words

commerce in the morning 03:33
lyrics

i'm in the mood for commerce in the morning maybe tomorrow, wake up extra early and cough over coffee make a carbon copy of today and yesterday i know where to go, nowhere to go i got nowhere to go confetti in my hair, traipsin thru the garden, stubbed my toe on an old gravestone. it doesn't say much. but there's plenty information a big full name and at least 3 important dates know where to go, nowhere to go got nowhere to go pulled apart the birthday card the papercut hurt like goin to work oh there's good intentions if you just listen close. you might just go cha cha won'tcha cha? cha cha why won't you go?
