Friend Crush
02:16
|

How did we never meet?
You come out when I go to sleep
I see you standing on the corner
Gotta let you know I like your persona
You’ve dropped out of the best high schools,
Smoked a lot of drugs and been abused
That’s why I want to be friends with you uhuh
How did we never meet?
We grew up on the same dark street
I see plain clothed hippies outside your house
I see smoke rings from a car seat couch
You come from where the sidewalks bend
Where weathered boots and dry leaves blend
Where decades don’t divide or end uhuh
People who say they don’t want to be cool
They’ve never had a friend crush like you
They’ve never had a friend crush like you
So What I’m gonna do is be friends with you
How did we never meet?
You come out when I go to sleep
I see you standing on the corner
Gotta let you know I like your persona
How did we never meet?
We grew up on the same dark street
You come out when I go to sleep uhuh
I’m gonna be your friend
I’m gonna be your friend
I’m gonna be your friend
I’m gonna be your friend

Feelin' Fine
03:04
|

Walking up the street feeling obsolete like a comedy about Gerald Ford
And I’ve been down to my last life ever since I reached the second board
I’ve been locked in a toll booth. I’ve eaten nothing but Crispix all day
I’ve got wolves and reindeer on my shirt but I’ve still got something to say
I feel fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fine!
Evil satirist came along and corrupted all my files
And I spent my last Euro on orange juice and it tasted like bile
And just before I blanked out the doctor said he felt odd
Like Jesus or a centaur half man and half god
I feel fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fine!
Saw a dead unicorn. It was lying in a roadside ditch
And I’m still re-labeling high school demo tapes while my friends get famous and rich
A thousand agent Smiths are at the door and I’m like, What do you want?
The worms on the street spell out my name in Times New Roman font
I feel fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fine!

Eighth Grade Enchantress
03:04
|

Eighth grade enchantress won’t you come and dance with me
Like the satyrs of the woods and the mermaids of the sea
Eighth grade enchantress won’t you come and dance with me
I watch you move in plastic diamond studded jeans
I watch you move in plastic diamond studded jeans
You’re the cutest woman that I think I’ve ever seen
Summer time through the golden woods you run
Fevered skin in the freezing autumn sun
Eighth grade enchantress can I be your half-day man?
Like the satyrs of the sea and the mermaids of the land
Eighth grade enchantress can I be your half-day man?
Scissory whispers hungry girls in crowded halls
Scissory whispers hungry girls in crowded halls
In your sunny laughter all their whispers will dissolve
Summer time through the golden woods you run
Fevered skin in the freezing autumn sun

Decade Of Darkness
02:37
|
|||
We go out walking with some flowers in our hair
See blossoms open in the warm December air
Provincial voices stir emboldened for a fight
Nylon flags are flapping in the metal halloid light
It’s been a decade of darkness
It’s been a decade of darkness
It’s been a decade of darkness
It’s been a decade of darkness
We saw some livestock in a parking lot tonight
Beneath the watchful eye that rules by divine right
The streets are full of shouts and laughter everywhere
The dead and living dancing in a village square
It’s been a decade of darkness
It’s been a decade of darkness
It’s been a decade of darkness
It’s been a decade of darkness
I pledge allegiance to the star striped license plate
Let superstition guide the swords of every state
Flow gentle opiate. The air raid sirens scream
Let levies crumble and let ignorance reign supreme
It’s been a decade of darkness
It’s been a decade of darkness
It’s been a decade of darkness
It’s been a decade of darkness

Falling On The Waves
03:39
|

Talking old school crossing ninth street by the barricades
Street life lit by headlights moving in parade
Sixteen years and you resurface. All we knew is swallowed like
So many nameless snowflakes falling on the waves
Sidewalk handout, It’s the ending of the world
So I say I always loved you when you were a girl
As a boy it seemed to me your eyes had seen a thousand summers
In our English class trespassing through the week
Stern angelic eyes cut me so deep
I tried to reach you so many times
Heaven knows I tried
At least in my mind
Well you got some nerve to come to me so late
All grown up and teaching seventh grade
Standing like a poison blossom denim jacket faded dress
We join the crowd like snowflakes falling on the waves
Small beneath the moon and battlements above
We laugh among the ghosts of thwarted love
Talking about the world we knew of public phones and space rock albums
Hungry souls in feral houses fade into the streets we crossed today

Wild Mountain Thyme
02:52
|
|||
Oh the summer time has come
And the leaves are sweetly turning
And the wild mountain thyme
Grows across the purple heather
Will you go lassie go
And we’ll all go together
To pull wild mountain thyme
All across the purple heather
Will you go lassie go
If my true love does not go
I will surely find another
To pull wild mountain thyme
All across the purple heather
Will you go lassie go

You’ve got me running round the ceiling and bouncing off the walls
You’ve got me feeling like a boy who wants to play with dolls
I see you like wearing socks. I’m a sock person too
What can I do? What can I do?
I’m just a mad mad carrot eating fool on drugs and in love with you
I’m just a mad mad carrot eating fool on drugs and in love with you
I want to sleep all through the night and hear your breath
I want to wake up to a pillow drunk frenzy of death
Sometimes you tape up boxes and they fall apart
But there’s always extra tape guns in my heart
Cause I’m just a mad mad carrot eating fool on drugs and in love with you
You’ve got me running round the ceiling and bouncing off the walls
You’ve got me feeling like a boy who wants to play with dolls
I see you like wearing socks. I’m a sock person too
What can I do? What can I do?
I’m just a mad mad carrot eating fool on drugs and in love with you
I’m just a mad mad carrot eating fool on drugs and in love with you

Second Thoughts
02:27
|
|||
The day calls out your second thoughts begin again again
What you invade in the invader heart my love my love
In the end her second thoughts begin again
Her second thoughts begin again
In mid July, July the river keeps its bounds
But in the cold the ices reach beyond the bank and blend into the snow
In the end her second thoughts begin again
Her second thoughts begin again
The sun goes down. The sea unravels at it’s hem
The day calls out. Your second thoughts begin again

In The Same Dream
03:03
|
|||
And the staff called out of work
And a birds called in your sleep
And we sat up on a roof
In the same dream the same dream
Reading shiny recipes
Stealing phrases where we can
Finding vehicles and faces
In the sand in the sand
Calling back the marching sky
In it’s great candescent band
How your love had slipped away
From my hands from my hands
Who can hold the shifting light
I would keep it if I could
Though they tempted me with evil
And with good and with good
