Perfect Tide 01:09
Cash all your checks Go for a drive Gotta see California Before you die

Gerhard Richter in the corner It was never gonna bore ya In the pocket of your raincoat is your cell phone ringing off the hook Are you leaving? Do you need to meet your friend about unreasonable prices on the ‘by the glass’ list? MONEY MONEYINSOMNIA MONEY MONEY I DON’T HAVE NONE Did you paint it? Simulate it? Where’s the wormhole to escape this? Happy Birthday sung on wages of the bar staff at TGI Friday’s Let’s just leave it in a mezzo sundrop road trip Early evening, early evening, EARLY EVENING MONEY MONEYINSOMNIA MONEY MONEY I DON’T HAVE NONE

Why has all the spit pooled up in my mouth? Little cherry pit dancing round and round Love it in Berlin, never leaving town I don’t know what it is, but we’re all missing out It’s just fucking careless I’m so good at breaking hearts I’m so bad at this I hurt all my friends oh god Why can’t I just lift all this up and out? Laughter in the drift, california bound Tied up in the sin, sun is bearing down Need a another drink to let everyone down It’s just fucking careless I’m so good at breaking hearts I’m so bad at this I hurt all my friends oh god

Moneybees 03:01
We’re so tired holy high I lost my compartmentalized mind Born always in the hive over fire, we don’t get to decide Work till we die Work till we die Work till we die Oh la la, Oh Aren’t we so fancy Oh please Oh la la, I’ll take my champagne on the beach We just can’t leave this party please Our neck held by a Hell-held leash Redundancy redundancy redundancy Honeybees money freaks moneybees sadistic queen Work till we see Work till we see Work till we see infinity Oh la la, Oh Aren’t we so fancy Oh please Oh la la, I’ll take my champagne on the beach
5.
You’re so cruel “Darling, what?” You’re the spoon You’re the drug “Darling, move” Listen up, don’t block the view of the blinding sun Darling, I’m ready to feel Darling I don’t know what is real anymore Darling I’m just waking up Darling I’m right on the cusp Did the sun rise right on time at the stateside diner? Did the shops close at the Sloatsburg rest stop? Suck the fumes that whir above Feel the doom race through your blood Funny truth tastes like mud in a loop of coffee cups Darling I’m ready to feel Darling I can see it so clear now Darling I’m starting to buzz Darling I’m losing control of the truck Did the sun rise right on time at the stateside diner? Did the shops close at the Sloatsburg rest stop? There’s a tuxedo girl whispering, “Baby,” to me With a soft devil smirk whispering, “Baby, it’s just a dream.”

I Wanna Know 03:41
Ricochet against my head Subject of environment I wasn’t faded Well who’s to say? Hollywood I’m almost here People always told me I was a movie star! Maybe it’s the way I walk I wasn’t in a car wreck No, I wasn’t in a car wreck I am the car wreck Oh my god no Now I’ve gone and done it Deluded on the road west Funny joke… oh I wanna know I wanna know, does it ever happen? I wanna know I wanna know, do I ever get there? Convertible cruising through I shaved my head That’s not on you It feels so good I feel so new Never gonna get there Never gonna get there I’ll sacrifice my body for for a little mix of attention/desperation Out of focus dreaming for decades You’re in Pennsylvania I wanna know I wanna know, does it ever happen? I wanna know I wanna know, do I ever get there? No

Misery Baby 04:16
Planters out in front of the windows Don’t get lost in the “garden” Bars to keep the outside from inside Holding you at an arm’s length I know that I knew that I lost it when I lost it I know that I knew that I wasn't when I said I was honest Misery baby, I want to tell you I love you Love you I love you I love you Something of a vasoconfuser, I’m still getting lightheaded I’m what they call a bit of a boozer, always sorry I said it I don’t know the outside from inside, shoot-em-anyway I know that I knew that I lost it, shoot-em-anyway Misery baby, I want to tell you I love you Love you I love you I love you
8.
Stormcloud 03:15
The trouble is the getaway It’s not something that you learn in school, kids! The mystery’s a never-miss The pattern’s emerging, isn’t it? Will you tell my friends that I left? It’s bad out, my little stormcloud We’re poor and we’ve got stains on the rugs Yeah we’re never the cool kids The surf’s a little rough I think that lightning might just strike in the moonlit tent kiss Will you tell me when I left? It’s bad out, my little stormcloud
9.
Natalie 03:08
When you were young did you watch Garden State? Put on the DVD and fall in love with Natalie? Summer’s Fine - Red Wine Teeth Flipping through vintage magazines The “modern age” is fucking bleak Did you always wear your shirt that same way? All unbuttoned and unashamed No, not exactly, coming out feels strange Cryptic phony whistleblowing gay Fucking Great - Gnashing Teeth Wince at price tags as you browse antiques Miles Davis who is he? New Years Eve Drunk Yuppies Fucking Freaks New Years Eve

This isn't how my dream goes and I don't care Let me know please, wait, wait, maybe don't It's in the water. It's in your tangled hair. It's all there. They told me not to tell you not to tell me to believe me, but I don't care It's a good time to get your screaming out Gotta go, Oooh You were always leaving me behind I know exactly what I am It's all good, you'll go to England and I'll end up getting lost again It's such a shame about it! What a wasted ride! Didn't someone say, Oooh It's such a long way away yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah It's so solid here, it's all untamed It's everything you're fucking saying This town of mine ain’t so pretty now that the brick’s under water You called the cops and said, "There is no God" Who called the cops? Yeah, Oooh

Swimmer 03:36
Oh god I know it. Oh god how’d you guess? Cybernetic tiger skin in the liar's inn Liars live in lion’s den no oxygen Fires lit the choir sings the lord's lessons Don’t forget, no, don’t forget to pay your rent Oh mama they’re encourageable We thank ya for your service sir Oh spit oh muck oh just my luck Seize your fear or mine or tears I’m trying here What’s it to ya, I’m cyberqueer or whatever dear Oh spit oh muck oh just my luck Oh please! A pool of blood never hurt no one Maybe we got that backwards, huh? Huh? Oh god I know it. Oh god how’d everybody guess? The winking kiss, a crime so swift, so devilish The sinking pit the shame the guilt get rid of it The whistle fit dead giveaway albatrosian fist The calculated sucker punch and yet you missed Oh mama they’re encourageable We thank ya for your service sir Oh spit oh muck oh just my luck Oh please! A pool of blood never hurt no one Maybe we got that backwards, huh? Huh?
