Bunny 04:56
Frozen silver skies sign the portent of new snow as the ice rings form around the moon tonight Bones in the sea eaten by anemones and Echinoderms drag their homes over the dust you left behind Bunny can hold my hand But Bunny don't understand What is real because he's fluffy Bunny stay here with me Now I know why I believe That you're real 'Cause you feel like I want to feel Bunny stay here with me Now I know why I believe That you're real 'Cause you feel like I want to feel Oh those black eyes of glass or plastic reflect the smoothness of Nothing quite getting through And why would you need it to? The fluff of feelings, get stuffed Get stuffed, feelings, we're through. Shiny metal birds drop exploding metal turds that turn the world to shit Neighborhood by neighborhood Bunny, if you were for real You'd scratch your way out Scratch your way out Scratch your way out You'd scratch your way out Bunny, the world is mad All the good times we had We had to steal While someone suffered.

What? 04:38
Leave him alone He ain’t done nothin’ Except say Hello Just trying to be friendly Now you’ll never know Just how delightful it might’ve been Go on, get away We don’t want no trouble here Or you can stay But you’re going to sit right there I know what you’re looking for, But I don’t know What Makes you want it What Makes you want it What Kid found your gun Thought it was funny To shoot up the son There goes your money At work for you there Who’s gonna keep safe Your family now? I wanna sleep Until it’s all over But I know when I wake There’ll just be more for to Shake shake shake Shake my head Shake shake shake I don’t know What Makes you want it What Makes you want it What Hey, makes you want it What What Oh that’s not sweat Your dreams poured out your ears On to your pillow there Hey that’s not sweat Your tears of joy Were just a wet dream What What What What What What Makes you want it What Makes you want it What Hey makes you want it What What?

In the Early Avenues Somewhere ‘round one or two Wet streets whisper along And dogs sleep under the warm electric light In the Early Avenues Sloshing home in soggy shoes The rain wants to bury it all And wash you ’til you’re reborn to endless night Is this home where the light shines? Is this home where the light shines? Am I getting nearer? Am I getting nearer? The storm won’t have it’s way tonight The storm won’t have me tonight I’m almost back I’m almost back I’m almost back I’m almost back To where The dogs sleep under the warm electric light All these memories buzz about My brain like bees on honey Or flies on shit, It’s funny To look back now

Ketchup 04:02
I know what is good for me I know what is good for me I know what is good for me Go slow, don’t try to catch up with the team I fell out of bed Through the desert Running with a hose With no water Take off all your clothes I fell out of bed I fell out of bed Ooh I can’t catch up

Is there someone for everyone? As long as your radar’s on Your little blip was almost missed So glad we slipped in to a kiss And you liked my caveman songs Twilight on the roadway Can we just drive forever Fortune struck us rich, yeah And also struck us down some Drive around some, hey We found someone to live and die for You may not feel so strong When all the world’s gone wrong Who’s gonna sing that song? It’s gonna seem so long From where your hearts belong I’m coming, I won’t be long

Checking out checking out checking out now Gonna get lost gonna go get lost Hack away hack away hack away at Hack away at what you’ve been Been a sin I’m a sin I’m a sin I’m a Been a sin I’m a big big sin Gonna get gonna get gonna get there Gonna get down beneath the skin Sweet Little Nothings, Little Sweet Nothings Keep on whispering in your ear Mama keep your loved ones, Mama keep your loved ones Mama keep your loved ones safe and near From the top of a cellar staircase Step by step you start to descend Can’t see the hand in front of your face The smell of damp wood and old cement

Decisions 02:55
Decisions, decisions They curl you right in them And here we are wrapped in our Prison of choice So I’d like to post this Note with my throat here I hope your heart’s not so heavy tonight I held you once We flopped like some drunk fish On a waterbed I cut your hair in the sun And started to scold you For not being more careful Who did I think I was, anyway? I couldn’t see you then I’d have been no good for you I might have taken advantage Of your weakness Or you of mine Great cowards think alike There’s always something or somebody to blame For disasters that keep following… Anyway, It’s been too long Just sitting here thinking about you I hope you’re ok Don’t wait for no heroes Get your ass in gear So what if the morning Got off to a rough start Your story’s just only begun

Sailor 03:57
Journey to nowhere at all Adventurer, you have lost us all Your ship done sailed Like a coffin nail You belong now to the sea Journey to nowhere at all Simple as that, you are gone, gone, gone It woulda been nice If you coulda thought twice See you, darlin’ in my dreams In the darkness You honed your nautical skills Learned to harness The elements and Bend them to your will There’s nowhere to come ashore Just float the river for evermore Your soul is free To forever glide Like so much debris Carried out by the tide Simple as that, you are gone Easy as falling off that log You winsome flotsam We lost some jetsam And jettisoned sailor Erickson In the darkness You honed your nautical skills Learned to harness The elements and Bend them to your will There’s nowhere to come ashore Just float the river for evermore Your soul is free To forever glide Like so much debris Carried out by the tide Simple as that, you are gone Easy as falling off that log You winsome flotsam We lost some jetsam And jettisoned sailor Erickson

Complicated 04:03
Nothing’s simple anymore Not like it was supposed to be before Seems like everything’s just trying To complicate our love I keep opening doors to empty rooms One day I’ll come find the right one You’ll be standing there It’s complicated love If getting what you want’s just getting rid what you don’t Getting what you want’s just leaving what you don’t All I want is right here All I want’s to be here If getting what you want’s just getting rid what you don’t Getting what you want’s just leaving what you don’t All I want is right here All I want’s to be here If you bottle up and wait another day Who’ll be there to say what you’d say Seems like everything’s just trying to complicate our love

One Day 04:18
One day everyone will know The feelings that you couldn’t show But it’s all clear now Holy cow The feelings that you won’t allow Assert themselves in public now Now your cheeks getting drenched On this city park bench You walk and walk to clear your head While voices of the dead Remind, reminding you Step by step You make a path with every step When it hurts to move ahead You make that pain your friend You’ll never lose There’s something important but You can’t remember You know it’s important But you can’t remember There’s something important but You can’t remember You can’t remember it all You found the cure for happiness And buttoned it up in your chest ‘Cause the things that you loved You stood so high above You lowered yourself to the floor And found you can’t control them anymore They didn’t know You needed them so Just walk and walk to clear your head While voices of the dead Remind, reminding you Step by step You make a path with every step When it hurts to move ahead You make that pain your friend You’ll never lose There’s something important but You can’t remember You know it’s important But you can’t remember There’s something important but You can’t remember You say it’s important But you can’t remember There’s something important But you can’t remember You know it’s important But you can’t remember There’s something important But you can’t remember You say it’s important But you can’t remember Then a chill shoots through you As you start to remember You just remembered it all Oh, you just remembered it all
