Sidewalk

Oligarchy had a farm
Really it was just a barn
Shop till you drop
hit the dock with a belly flop
break what you bought
crack shot - show me what you got
Head numbing dive
found a five on the dirty floor
Head to the bar
buy a beer
Make that sucker pour (poor)
Drink till you pop
head start in the parking lot
things looking up
throwing up on the sidewalk
Change the channel all day long
how can there be nothing on
Sit on your ass
nothing wrong so we get along
Show me what I want
what you want is my parking spot
things looking up
throwing up on the sidewalk

The kind of thing you take to the grave
eating trash and drinking the sewage
I think his thinking thing is defective
spinning entertainment as coverage of
the wreck
he can't throw anything away
It only takes a moment or two
the kitchen sink gets covered in mildew
rotting piece of meat in the drain
the neighbours start complaining
cause you never stop complaining
but heck
he can't throw anything away
The horse is taller than the fence
your eyes should know the difference
what will it be
anxiety
treats people like shit and then wants their pity

Dead End
03:23
|
|||
|
Stuck in a tree he
doesn't know he is
making those reasons up
Someone get a ladder
climb it up to Jupiter
how oh how did you get so high
Spaceship eyes
Hovering fear
I can see my house from here
The branches sigh into my ear
the forest starts to disappear
Just another dead end in your mind
Riding the breeze in
over the ocean
empty palms facing up
figures in the water
rushing for the aperture
my oh my do they get worked up
one shot deal
last rites and a meal
Just another dead end in your mind

Willy Nilly
Wishy Washy
a Fickle individual without a course
Cocksure
metaphor
climbing up
says I don't do it for you cause i do it for me
no remorse
Worked up the courage to go out alone
at her table she sits like a known unknown
a stranger nervously asks her name
she says "I don't give out that kind of information"
what a shame
You never get attached
and you will never be outmatched
another day will slip away
or things will be exactly how they're meant to be

Oh No
02:05
|

|
Tough luck
my head got stuck
in the wooden rails
on the patio
so
guess what
i think i'm starting to pass out
the blood and
the air
i'm trying to be fair
while in there
my humanity starts regretting me
oh no
and all there was
and all there'll ever be

I Give Up
03:52
|
|||
|
Once
I was cold
so i got a blanket
then
i was told
that i had to rank it
Tangled lines
in a clouded mind
everything is fine
i wish that it was mine
Die and be free from pain
Live and fight insane
I feel like
letting go
but i can't
cause i'm never saying no
I'm trying
but nothing seems to be working out
so i think i'll just give up
give up

Knock it Off
04:55
|
|||
|
I wonder where the world will end
across the shore
around the bend
where the good deeds come undone
where the rats are coming from
where i can finally say
i've lost you
Easy come
and easy go
a loser's telling wake in tow
beat it up until it's gone
till there's nothing hanging on
till you can finally say
you've lost it
knock it off
nothing is as nothing does
Fake it till you make it, man
and you can even fake it then
but if you can't fix what is broke
pass it off as an inside joke
so we can finally say
we get it

New Maze
02:25

The maze was just a room
the walls they spoke too soon
a vacuum sucked out all the air
and now there's nothing left in there
but what about the ebb and flow
The spade was a cigar (what kind of cigar)
the transformers still don't know what they are (person or a car)
the alphabits have gotten stale (don't eat it)
and form a cautionary tale
of where our thoughts will beg
to go
Everything matters
but everything scatters after time
payment in kind
The Cabbie called your bluff
The water's been had
it stormed off with a huff
Dying felt ok I guess
but now we need to clean the mess
and no one ever seems to know
cause no one ever seems to show

Some Kind Of
02:47
|
|||
|
there's something beating
underneath the shroud
there's something leaking
underneath the cloud
the voices in the sky
are getting very loud
a sense of the calm
there's something moving
where it's not allowed
if anybody says "don't go that way"
i think you're wrong
we should pursue it
and review it
everybody says what comes to mind
in this world there's no one left behind
what are you some kind of?

The Last Page is Missing
i'm through second guessing
no matter how hard i try
i can never see
the back of my own head
without reliable technology
or a trustworthy firsthand account
I'd like you to think
about what I just said
no matter what's going on
How many times
did you forget
something you promised you'd remember
there's always something with you
hurry up
we're losing time
pesky little
paradigm
what about love
does it build
or does it destroy
love is like a total war
everything's there
but i think there's more
there's always something with you
