Save more later
With this coupon that I found
Thought of you and put it in my pocket
Half off toothpaste
With the purchase of a soft drink of your choice
A Coca-Cola
Riding the train
Meeting your friends
Let me know when you’re done there
Let me know when you’re done
Picking a purpose
For your existence
Let me know when you’ve found out
Let me know when you’ve found
The answer that you’re looking for
Made you a Pop-Tart
In the toaster
Cooking never stuck with me
Wrote you a love song
With only words
That I found in
The autobiography of a Yogi
That my brother got me
When I went back home
And my mom starting crying
Cause we watched a movie
With a sappy love scene
And she’s got a soft spot

The sun has barely shown it’s face
We’re already knee deep into some pointless debate
Sometimes I say things without thinking through
I hope that you know that I love you
I think you do
Whatcha want whatcha want whatcha want to say?
Whatcha want whatcha want whatcha want to say to me?
You are a piece of shit
I know you’re thinking it
I’ll try to be a better man
This claustrophobic spell
Has touched me can’t you tell
I’m crawling in this skin
It doesn’t feel that way
What is it that you want to say to me
I thought we were two books
What chapter is that turn to give me that dirty look?
Whatcha want whatcha want whatcha want to say?
Whatcha want whatcha want whatcha want to say to me?
Whatcha want whatcha want whatcha want to say?
Whatcha want whatcha want whatcha want to say to me?

Santa Fe
05:20
|

It’s the smell of a darkroom
Where I’d practice guitar
It’s the echo of silence
Bouncing back through the yard
Sante Fe
With your crystal balls
And the dogs running up the hill
When the grandparents call
Every year I’d go in the spring
And if it were up to me
I’d drop out of school
Swim in the pool
Make friends with the fools
Transfixed by the jewel
Ooooooo
In the “Sea of Cortez”
That I found on the shelf
A marine expedition
From the sea to his mouth
I felt like an explorer
Writing notes on the page
With the smell of green chilies
Wafting into my cave
Sante Fe
With you mountains of white
And the smell of piñon
That enveloped the night
Sante Fe
With your turquoise eyes
Where time passed like crickets
Calling out to the fire
Every year I’d go in the spring
And if it were up to me
I’d drop out of school
Swim in the pool
Make friends with the fools
Transfixed by the jewel
Ooooooo

Bed

When you’re near I want you to go
But when you’re far I’m a puddle I’m a mope
It’s got nothing to do with you baby
It’s that time of year
And I’m shivering like a California baby
I guess that Midwest has thinned
It’s love that I feel for you darling
Even when I can’t get out of bed
He’ll bring me something
Works been slow, but it seems the same for most
Running out of friends started letting all the cats in
God help me I bought tuna at the store for them
The flu came and knocked you off your feet
With a fever rising you looked white as a ghost
Throwing dirty tissues into a shopping bag
It’s love that I feel for darling
Even when you can’t get out of bed
I’ll bring you something
Ooooooooooo oooooooo
Ooooooooooo oooooooo
Ooooooooooo oooooooo
Ooooooooooo oooooooo

DNA

To crisscross our DNA seems insane
I barely know what I’m doing today
The trees they talk through the world wide woods
In little tunnels carved into their roots
Just lie down
Take a seat
What’s the rush?
There’s nowhere to be
The more you talk
The more I need
To feel your touch
Your breath on me
Oooooooooooooo
Oooooooooooooo
I’m folding shirts in perfect squares
A flannel patch covers the tears
It seems that I got an addiction to
Coffee in the morning with you
Just lie down
Take a seat
What’s the rush?
There’s nowhere to be
The more you talk
The more I need
To feel your touch
Your breath on me
Oooooooooooooo
Oooooooooooooo

Benny
02:58
|

Tic tac stuck to a coaster
She’s a slob and she doesn’t hide it
You know not every girl is a neat freak
Who’d you learn that from
Benny is a tough motherfucker with a snaggle tooth
She’s got two brown ferrets and a faux fur coat
It’s not in her blood to apologize
She’s just moving along she’s just moving along
We went on a rollercoaster
Benny laughed when I screamed at the apex
We drank a bottle of bourbon
I threw up for the first time since high school
I’ve never met any girl
That could move through life with the speed of a freight train
Knocking over every hurdle
With the slight of her hand and the step of her boot
Benny is a tough motherfucker with an iron gut
She carried me up without dropping her cup
Even in the heat I’ve never seen her break a sweat
In her long leather jacker and her yellow vest

Neighborhood Watch
03:57
|

She used to sit out all summer
Looking after our street wearing only her socks
Her brother would bring her a beer
And she’d sit and she’d sip until the sun went down
She was the neighborhood watch
And she’d never left her plot
Though she could barely move
She’d scream till her face turned blue
When she was twelve her mom said Michelle
Why don’t you smile why don’t you cheer up?
And in the dead of night she wrapped her fingers in bright light
Moving them through the shadows filled the room
And at school she struggled to make friends
Lost in her thoughts she made plans to pretend
To care what others thought to see how it felt
It didn’t feel good
She was the neighborhood watch
Whenever bullies fought
She’d always break it up
There wasn’t any kid as tough

Cool Breeze
04:07
|

Take me take me
To the mall
Don’t wanna buy anything
Just need to cool off in the air-conditioning
Just need to cool off
I saw I saw
Our neighbor
Fry an egg on the street
Even the dog couldn’t breath choking on the heat
Just need to cool off
Coooooooooooool breeze
I think it might be time
I think it might be time
Waking up a mess
I can’t remember my own name
Waking up a mess
I can’t remember your name
I want you to be mine
Even in this heat I’ll be fine
Sheets drenched wet
I’m sweating out of every vein
Your taste on my tongue
The sun will rise again today
Take me take me
To the pool
Let the water wash over me
Just need to need to cool off
In the chlorine
Just need to cool off
Cool
Just need to cool off
Coooooooooooool breeze

Hourglass
03:57
|

I was born in a hourglass
All my children were the sand
And as the time passed
I fell through to the end
Such a thirst and a hunger came
I just waited for it to pass
I’ve been searching for the word for time
But no answer has come alas
What does the changing of light mean?
What is the feeling of gravity?
That makes me fall down
Looking out looking out
I can see my reflection
Is that me a skeleton?
With six legs two claws extended
Ooooooooooooooo
Ooooooooooooooo
Ooooooooooooooo
Ooooooooooooooo
