Lioness 01:58
I guess I should take the blame If you're to claim that I'm contentious Granted, she was rollerskating I could just as well pretend this didn't happen And she would agree (With aid from my ventriloquism) And I qualify for the final championship Sail into open water like an otter to a whale (Calibrate their tails) This whole conversation stems from procreation (I'm all for it) I can tell you're anti- by the eyes you roll But I'll ignore that stupid way How you convey your feelings to me Like a silent movie I try and I try not to lie so I'll stop reading You hadn't had the slightest lack of judgment but You blew it I would tell the truth but I'm afraid she knew it When the ice starting melting Masking the odor is just our first try Over and over, the weeks don't apply You've got the nerve to invite other guys I wouldn't serve them my mai-tais Don't do what you say you'd do Tonight I had the greatest time but I shouldn't have.

Texas 01:43
I was born into a family I hated It took me some years but I've made it Woah. Dressing up, messing up Guessing the age of the girl whose Texas knees are next to me I'll probably never know And so why waste my time fantasizing When I could be on her Disguising my voice to fall when it's rising Woah. Coffee's hot, drink a lot How could I get myself into This is not what I sought But I'm not one to complain So what I've got: A girl sleeping on a cot In her parent's basement Somewhere in Texas.

Fig Leaves 02:59
I'm a genius in making And I'm making you proud I like it when you're nervous I like it when you're loud I could go for a walkies I could go for the gold Or a pale shade of sunburst Like your cheeks when it's cold Lakes that remind me of her pass me by And never let me swim in them And I'm [indecipherable] Suddenly there's a rewind And I know it all well Someone told me you love me And they said not to tell Fields that remind of her never cropped Simple, yet attractive I'd like to say good night Wanting to embody Everything I like Adam and... Some think natural bodies Would look better if they were covered in... Leaving you in terms of what I would do anyway I can't decide Even though you've been through so much severity I won't let you down So let's mate like trees Fields that remind of her pass me by Simple

You can be the fun that fills in the blanks And puts them in a gun Let me be frank: I could never see What you ever saw in me Diamonds in your eyes Crime and little lies The rhyme ends when you die Oh baby You can be the fun And I can take away that fun

In 1966 the Beatles would release a single And the A-Side would be "Paperback Writer" Its B-Side was superior (But now I fear we are getting a little sidetracked from our topic) The song was kind of interesting And although musically 'twas relatively simple (It had two chords) Lyrically, it was kind of fun McCartney's always one to sprinkle irony through his songs And his life Akin to if I wrote a song about another song But it was really about my song

Sweep all of the dirt off of your shirt And when you've finished we can have dessert Gooseberry pie, just you and my beautiful eyes Let me blink at surprise And I will never love you forever 'Cause if I said "I'll try" I lied Maybe it's easy believing in me But I'll be leaving Facts aren't in my thoughts, they're in my acts So don't believe every word as I've asked And you'll befriend me once again Close both your eyes, let them blink at surprise Or I will never love you forever 'Cause if I said "I'll try" I lied Maybe it's easy believing in me But I'll be leaving And I will never love you forever 'Cause if I said "I'll try" I lied Maybe it's easy believing in me But I'll be leaving

Some wear darkened eyewear When they're going out to the city (I hate them) Running with my head in a vice I won't live long with fragments Magazine ads have never been so pixelated Somewhere along the line I trip A mosaic block city stops I'll crop it out I'll crop it out

Destron 03:49
I am in the white cube White and white I am in the white cube Whiter than white And alone, I'm waiting for her phone call She knows how to tease me Her face like a cake I like her red, red hair and black eyes Her skinny knees dipped in spicy smell I'm left in here The room is now getting white She teases me I am in the white cube White and white I am in the white cube Whiter than white And alone, I'm waiting for her phone call She knows how to tease me Her face like a cake The bedtime music rings my head Don't be so hard on me I fix TV to make it tinge The room is still getting white She teases me

You have to let this go I don't know how you can be so childish I just wish you could forget his name What does it matter, anyway? I'm to blame, I'm to blame It's our anniversary (Counting the months, it's three) So what? We did that What we had wasn't bad, it's just... I wonder when it's gonna gel for you We are not ever gonna get together Maybe you'll change my mind And maybe the dinosaurs will come back to life I'll be nice and maybe my voice won't rise Concluding this chat with a surprise: Don't touch me Time to leave I'm with Steve I'm with Steve I wonder when it's gonna gel for you We are not ever gonna get together Never gonna get together

Cold Sweat 02:13
Face on the carpet Stomach pain so sharp It makes me feel like dying now But I don't have the know-how To allow any reign of my body's self-control So I'll count my breaths Until the halves are whole Waking up shaking Break into a cold sweat no matter how hot it gets This comforter is wet, bereft of ease Darling, please I'm physically on my knees So why don't you tell me where you hid the keys?

I have this new friend named Charlotte She laughs at my jokes all the time And I've never known such a harlot To be so affectionate and kind And the ball keeps on rolling 'Ttil I've had it all But she's still on my mind And I find that to... Not be a fortunate dresser But if she couldn't tell How could I work up the nerve To confess or get housed And drown in my cries And her bra's in my car 'Cause she changed after swimming And she's still on my mind And I don't really... Summers with her have barely placed a bet Faces I've met haven't managed to impress me I guess haven't you been blessed by someone, too? And her pa isn't for Any closing of doors But she's still on my mind And I don't really mind
