Get back, get back to me
Have a round of anti-socialite
Spin spin, spin the bottle
It can be our analog time
At the end of the day
We’re not in control at all
And everything I love
Is gunna change
And everything I love
Is gunna change
Mercury
Six pack, six pack of kisses,
I’ll follow you, you’ll follow me
Your big lips are little wrestlers
I taste the glimmering souls
Of the sea
With you in my arms
I’m not in control at all
And everything I love
Is gunna change
everything I love
Is gunna change
Mercury
You’re in your room
Praying to your mini-recorder
I’m in my room
I need a break from propaganda
If the world is ending lets entertain each other
As we please
As we please
Get back, get back to me
I think I lost my satellite
Spin spin, solar system
Is it true we’re running out of time?
When you’re looking this way
I’m not in control at all
And everything I love
Is gunna change
everything I love
Is gunna change
Everything I love
Is gunna change
Everything I love
Is gunna change
Mercury
Is gunna change

Burnin' Soul
05:23
|
|||
At the end of the day
In the land of wood and water
When my skin gone dry
I will pass this to my daughter
I will pass my burnin' soul to my daughter
When my time has passed
And the cyclone is unwinding
May the goods come back
And the fire of my soul is blinding
I will take my burnin' soul down to the harbor
I will pass my burnin' soul to my daughter
Kingston soul where I lay my head
Kingston soul where I made my bed
Kingston soul where I lay my head
For you
Getting close to the shore
See my white trail of flowers
Clean my hands with the sand
Final embers of my fire
I will take my burnin' soul down to the harbor
I will pass my burnin' soul to my daughter
Kingston soul where I lay my head
Kingston soul where I made my bed
Kingston soul where I lay my head
For you
Kingston soul where I lay my head
Kingston soul where I made my bed
Kingston soul where I lay my head
For you
And I lay down my soul for you
And I lay down my soul for you
There is no war between us, Desire
Ghosts don’t bleed little child
Come and rest with me
But stay a while
And I lay down my soul for you
And I lay down my soul for you
And I lay down my soul for you
And I lay down my soul for you

24 percent with you now
We lie in our pajama states
And with a flicker the screen does bring you to me
Public notebook / the angle of the machine
IRL
68 percent with you now
The rain cuts our signal
And just one minute here could bring me your news
Come pull me out of my hibernation guilt
IRL
Ask permission ask forgiveness (Downloading You)
Take the things you normally would miss
Learn to love in this dimension
While sharing cold beer through screen time
We down and upload soul to the world
Give and take, I’m sure we’ll be fine
96 percent with you now
My new icon looks great
This letter’s just to tell you I like your stream
And I’ll be down if you ever wanna meet me
IRL
Ask permission ask forgiveness
Take the things you normally would miss
Learn to love in this dimension
While sharing cold beer through screen time
We down and upload soul to the world
Give and take, I’m sure we’ll be fine
So many letters So many letters So many letters
Don’t wanna let them go
So many letters So many letters So many letters
Don’t wanna let them go
And I saved them all
I hope you don’t think that’s creepy
Ask permission ask forgiveness
Take the things you normally would miss
Learn to love in this dimension
While sharing cold beer through screen time
We down and upload soul to the world
Give and take, I’m sure we’ll be fine

2 for 1
she
said to me today
she said
“I’m so smooth, drinks
On me—I just got paid”
And now she’s crying a bottle of vodka
And no she won’t stop
Singin up in my ear
I fell in love with a Georgia Strawberry
…yeah we always went for 2 for 1
…yeah we always went for 2 for 1
…yeah we always went for 2 for 1
I can hear the pills
Shakin’ all up in her purse
She said it calms me down
(Can I get a nurse!)
I just wanna be nice
But a sharp knife
Is the best friend
Of serial killers and housewives
Unzip my file
By the billiard table
A cheap photo
Shoot by the jukebox
One for the road
You know the barcode baby
But later I’ll watch you go home with another lady…
(Unzip my file
Stay for a while
Ember burns her pantyhose)
Unzip my file
Stay for a while
I’ll have one—light me up)
…yeah we always went for 2 for 1
…yeah we always went for 2 for 1
…yeah we always went for 2 for 1
If you got thick skin,
No one will know when you're ripe.
When you started this story
I just knew you were lying
Because that man you said that you loved
Is textin’ me now
Unzip my file
By the billiard table
A cheap photo
Shoot by the jukebox
One for the road
You know the barcode baby
But later I’ll watch you go home with another lady…
…but I’m glad I came for 2 for 1
…yeah I’m glad I came for 2 for 1
…yeah I’m glad I came for 2 for 1

Loving girls
And loving boys
Are taking long trips
To places where their love
Can be seen from heaven
They’re in love
But they can’t be wed
Those preventing this
Might be better off dead
In a heaven where the law prevents them
From giving head
Or having a joint
In Amsterdam
Loosen up
Go to San Francisco
You don’t know what you’re missing!
Cuz Love’s the only god
And Death the main devil
The doctor told the priest that cancer is his evil
Beneficial to his prostate survival…
At the seat of his being
Sodomy is his savior
So bang your pianos ladies
The boys will play their organs
The music is love either way
Gender’s little more than skin deep
And if you saw their skeletons
You’d only recognize them by their teeth.

Batty Boy

Hey little Batty Boy don’t be discreet
There should be love out in the street
Don’t pay attention to those people you meet
‘Cept to bring ‘em down when November sweeps in
Tyler is the boy who the bullies had picked
Not too many buddies and a backpack too big
Tyler ran home at the end of his rope
Tied it to his neck cuz he couldn’t cope
No more
It could all pass us by so fast
What’s with all the judgment of this skin
Save your concern for the shoes you’re in
Betty is the girl who would rather climb trees
She was born running, had cuts on her feet
But mommy wanted makeup and a Calendar Girl
Now she’s runnin’ to preserve her own world
It could all pass us by so fast
What’s with all the judgment of this skin
Save your concern for the shoes you’re in
Hey little Batty Boy don’t be discreet
There should be love out in the street
Don’t pay attention to dose people you meet
‘Cept to bring ‘em down when November sweeps in
It could all pass us by so fast
What’s with all the judgment of this skin
Save your concern for the shoes you’re in
I don’t know where you get off
Telling us what’s up
I don’t know where you get off
Telling us what’s up
I don’t know where you get off
Telling us what’s up
And I
I think we’ve had enough
I know we’ve had it rough
I think we’ve had enough
I know we’ve had it rough
I think we’ve had enough
I know we’ve had it rough
I think we’ve had enough

Request Line
04:50
|
|||
Not even 24 hours after she died
What do you want
Call me up on the Request Line
But a little piece of me
It’s just technology
Are you robbing my grief?
Did you say you were out for blood
Or cash, woman?
I wanna live somewhere with farm humor
And dirty true folk
Where the diction ain't clear
But the grammar don't lose her meaning
Go sweet talk your city
Don't come rushin' to the West
If you hear there's gold.
Backstabber, won't you stick it in?
Backstabber, you work in alcoholic din.
And you ain't foolin' no one
With that abuse of kin.
No you ain't foolin' no one,
not even the dead…
It's me, Eileen, I'm calling you,
My Queen.
You said it was over when it's over
But I'm telling you
It's quite sure to go on
For a bit…
Backstabber, won’t you stick it in from the front?
Backstabber, won't you try?
And I know that she could be sweet and dandy
Sweet and dandy
Sweet and dandy
She could be sweet and dandy
Sweet and dandy
Sweet and dandy...
...But betrayal put a lens on my DNA.
I CAN SEE THE MESSAGE WITHOUT THE BONES YOU STOLE,
BREAKING THE CIRCLE OF STONES,
AND NOW I CAST MY DEFIXION.
I CAN SEE THE MESSAGE WITHOUT THE BONES YOU STOLE,
BREAKING THE CIRCLE OF STONES,
AND NOW I CAST MY DEFIXION.
I CAN SEE THE MESSAGE WITHOUT THE BONES YOU STOLE,
BREAKING THE CIRCLE OF STONES,
AND NOW I CAST MY DEFIXION.
I CAN SEE THE MESSAGE WITHOUT THE BONES YOU STOLE,
BREAKING THE CIRCLE OF STONES,
AND NOW I CAST MY DEFIXION.

Don’t stay
I’ve got a place for us to go
I’ve gotta find a place to hide
Summer 1695
Can’t wait for the church to find
Where we wrote our own rhyme
So we’ll take a train
Cuz it won’t be cleared, my name.
So I’ll find the way we run
I’ll find the way we run
So I’ll find the way we run
I’ll find the way we run
So I’ll find the way we run
To the west from the wicked
Talismans of protest signs
No chemical or stone can stand to the test
Of the words that they’ve juxtaposed in rhyme
And it was just the little things they saw me doing
Candles burning fast around a tree
Don’t stay
I’ve got a place for us to go
Are you prepared to sleep outside
If I told you this could save my life?
We can chase the tide all day
No building but we’ll still pray
And she will hear
While we softly disappear
So I’ll find the way we run
I’ll find the way we run
So I’ll find the way we run
I’ll find the way we run
So I’ll find the way we run
To the west from the wicked
Talismans of protest signs
No chemical or stone can stand to the test
Of the words that they’ve juxtaposed in rhyme
And it was just the little things they saw me doing
Candles burning fast around a tree
So I’ll find the way we run
I’ll find the way we run
So I’ll find the way we run
I’ll find the way we run
So I’ll find the way we run
I’ll find the way we run
So I’ll find the way we run
I’ll find the way we run

Love Me
04:25
|

I’m in over my head
Bend over he said
You’re just close enough to touch me
Oh, you’re closing in
You’re just close enough to feel me
Oh, don’t push it in
I miss those days
Out on my own two feet
Walking again
I miss those days
Out on a lonely street
Walking again
So love me, love me, love me
And then get out of my bed
I need to go
So ask me, ask me, ask me
Where I gotta go
I’ll tell you I dunno
Tell me something good
Spark me today
Cynical wake up
Did you have to stay?
I miss those days
Out on my own two feet
Walking again
I miss those days
Out on a lonely street
Walking again
So love me, love me, love me
And then get out of my bed
I need to go
So ask me, ask me, ask me
Where I gotta go
I’ll tell you I dunno
I’ll try to stop my way
The tongue I use today was not crafted for
You

Ouroboros

Golden stranger
Garden prophet
Me
You brought a snake here
Looking for a trade
Ouroboros
We became
Ouroboros
Tail to brain
And she said to play the game
While the fairy’s on his knees
In the garden
In the seed we share
Telling stories in the trees
How you brought that man to his knees
So we’ll trade here
(a bishop for a rose)
Find me here
You called for a lyre
Be my Ghandi
Pay me for a rhyme
In the garden
On the old sweet hill
Cuz she said to play the game
While that fairy’s on his knees
Telling stories in the trees
How you brought than man to his knees
So we’ll trade here
(a bishop for a rose)
Find me here
You called for a lyre
Not my soul you’re after
Bite my tongue
Not my soul—you wait too long
Not my soul you’re after
I’m on my own
Not my soul—you wait too long
To find
Me
To find
Me
To find…
Not my soul you’re after
Bite my tongue
Not my soul—you wait too long
Not my soul you’re after
You will see
What you came for—it’s not me

You shut me down so fast
Bring me right back down
Before I even began
And you, man with no remorse
Just let it take its course
And then we’ll move on
I must say, I don’t think it’s too much
I must stay, but I’m not asking much
Oh, give me a sail
Lend me a sail and I’ll come floating
Back to you
I. I always start the fight
I always think I’m right
And you let me know
I. I don’t mind major chords
I see you looking bored
This one’s still for you
I must say, I don’t think it’s too much
I must stay, but I’m not asking much
So, give me a sail
Lend me a sail and I’ll come floating
Back to
Oh, give me a sail
Lend me a sail and I’ll come floating
Back to
All the days with violent waves
Or dead seas we can float upon
I still think that it’s good
I still think that it’s good
To know and love the depths of you
A faulty lost and drunk fucked up
Crew of two
