Sit and Stand
01:39
|
|||
|
And we sit and stand up
(The sooner we bring it, the sooner we get out)

Breemer
02:20
|
|||
|
Let me see it but we'll leave on trial
forget about dreaming tomorrow
Take a sentimental break
thing about my teacher says
dreams of torment burns your house
and when your children cry out loud your hopeless

Alpha Boy and Alpha Girl
01:42
|
|||
|
I am alpha boy
I am alpha girl
Everyone wants a piece of the action
I can feel the sun when I ruin all the fun
Come out of the corner now it's time to play with us
Just one to realize, we don't have time to waste
there's no time to sympathize, let's proceed with haste
I am alpha boy
I am alpha girl
We both need each other
Everyone wants the guy with the sparkle in his eye
Everyone wants the girl with the wisdom and advice
Men bring all the mystery, there's darkness in my place
Women fashion honesty, born to illuminate
I am planet venus
I am planet mars
lets have sex together

Spag
01:47
|
|||
|
Figure it out, although you're running the line
battling beats because your better by now
put it away for a sunny day
calculate out unless you're calling the shots
you are not from where you came out
parasails, ferris wheels
tear it down, unless you feel ok
faking out, speckled spout
bear in mind it's what we came to be
watered waters how many times?
give me missing feelings for my glove
you are not from Winter's Spa
I'm not scared to throw you in the dump
|

Different
02:52
|
|||
|
It's ok to be a part of a different crowd
it's alright to be a part of a different sound
yes i need my father
yes i need my father
it's gonna take me a while
yes i need my father
it's ok to be reminded of a different crowd

Everyone is Fine
01:47
|
|||
|
Lead your life making plans
better do it right in your mind
get away form yesterday
the static stains are in your face
do the work get off the phone
the golden prize is yours alone
better get up quick no time to loose
pushing the path your gonna choose
let your purpose run away
with friends who are crowding your space
as they cry and they ask for advice but they're fine
the stars will tell you all you need
flip a card and take the lead
read your palm explore the sound
everything comes back around
kill the idols make them fall
burn the books that say your wrong
higher self is on the shelf
reach inside embrace the light
|

Sack Shack Shake
02:39
|
|||
|
when the mailman stands up do it again
you're trapped in the sandbags that you made
built up stronger than sacred mysteries
you brought back government magical treats
and when the circuit breaks your dead
its' not a cold nightmare
it's not a small break
maybe it will break

Jack Jack Jack
The crazy cat
Jack jack jack
The crazy cat
Always getting into trouble
Jack jack jack
The crazy cat
He likes naps
But can’t stand fast
All the time on the prowl
Get the wacat a big beach towel
Jack is my kitty
He is oh so pretty
He farts real hard day and night
It smells bad its quite a freight
Jack jack jack
The crazy cat
Never seems to know quite where he’s at
Is he on the carpet? Or he is in your flat?
Or is he on your favorite sweater taking a crap
Jack, you bit that little poodle
But you look so cute in that collared doodle
All those cows are starting a mooing
Why are they - what are they doing?
There he goes on my lawn
He’s doing it fast from dusk till dawn
He’s crazy and orange
We found Jack at Safeway
He was sad we made his day
We gave him satisfaction
Is he in the jets or is he on the floor
Jack doesn’t have any nuts anymore
This way he’ll be a baby forever
Jack’s insane he jumped so high
Far away up in the sky
He’s napping on Jupiter

Free Vacation
02:03
|
|||
|
Open up the envelope
Take it this is not a joke
Nothing ever goes my way
Should dare to trust my eyes
Thinking I have won the prize
Claiming it is work no play
Glaring at the sound of my foes
Have I gotten caught in their trap?
Billboards, TVs, brands and logos
Promos in my bottle cap
I wanna free vacation
But don't take all my money
Gimme gimme all your stuff
that's sponsored in your magazine
all your stuff that's sponsored in your magazine
Bright colors flashing by telling me to buy
everything is floating in my eye
Demographic arms reaching targeting the sky
pricing every slice of the pie
I can't sleep I know I got dough
I shouldn't let my feelings go
But all my dreams of tiny things
in plastic gardens quickly grow

Busy Kids Busy Lips
02:13
|
|||
|
Bridges bottling sound
bring me to the ground
forcing all my weight into a
crystal clear crown
meet me in the drive way
hoping for a good day
celebrations bring us close to
the things we keep inside
busy kids make it right from changing to the big flash forward
busy kids make it right from changing to the big flash forward
This is how you should feel right inside a tidal wave
this is how you should feel mine
busy kids make it right from flashing to the big flash forward
thrown into a game but dont wanna play
shifting all my lips into a smile
feeling all alone but simply stay with me
doing what it takes to make it right

Meet Me In The East
02:08
|
|||
|
adults can't swim into that sun at all
patronize the keys to the son-in-law
meet me in the back but you'd never understand
throw me all your bags with the key inside
the plans for your escape are all called off
and still I cant believe that I'm standing here with you
so give up your mistakes to set it free
digging in the deep plays a major role
but barking up a tree is a damaged soul
balance all your leafs with the key inside
see me after class and dream at least
climb up to the stars and meet me in the East
synchronize swim into the sun at all
synchronize swim into the water at all
meet me in the East

Beneath Sheets

She sat beneath sheet
She sat beneath sheet
She sat beneath sheet
She sat beneath sheet
So I did underneath yours
(mine)
Need my say my friend
(I said there's no way)
BACK
BACK

BACK
As long as my friends get to come with me
(boy, are they for in a surprise)
(guess it's better to run away. My.)

you said it once but you said it before
(man, it's time to get waste)
me and my friends are all the same
maybe its time for us to rearrange
maybe its time to fight back
maybe its time to cry
maybe we think we're better
maybe we're getting worse
mother told me bad and my mother told me bad
and I'm an adult

15 Years
02:07
|
|||
|
it happened and it happened
15 years and it's totally broken
haven't give up 'cus I know that I'm chosen
grieving preachers and pissing lawyers
come together to rape the daughters
pedaling outside

Pitching Tents
01:58
|
|||
|
scream at me
make me hear you
hit me with your heart
fist me from the start
cure my ill
mend the hole now
suture up the scars
sew up all the stars
strangest things wont let you breathe because of lacking confidence
climb your way to pitching tents instead of jumping off the fence
fill me up with truth
sip out all the lies
color me wonderful
you eclipse the sky
rain down in storms of want
so wanting you
keep your feet buried beneath under the sprouting into air
things will work for themselves even if it seems unfair
strangest things wont let you breathe because of lacking confidence
climb your way to pitching tents instead of jumping off the fence
historically play-doh is more lucrative
than other hand held sculptive material
amongst children 3 to 7

Inclined
04:00
|
|||
|
here's the sound I thew away
but I can't escape to breathe again
keeping it so inclined to feel fine
mixing status overload
but i don't have room to fill my soul
mission accomplished
christ has played my game
now what have you gone and done?

Leave Feet

Chandra McFarnsworth knows how to work
under the influence
Liam McClelland has a head like a mellon
and he steals like a felon but he believes in heaven
Casey Oliver likes penis coladas
likes drawing cartoons in his free time
Sean Matthew Downey magics the brownies
and advertises them on tv
Chandra McFarnsworth sleeps in a treehouse
she's hoping and waiting for a surprise
Liam McClelland has paintings worth selling
is never one for dwelling is the best kind of villain
Don't be scared Caseys a good boy
call him on a pay phone here's a dime
Sean my friends boyrfriend just around the bend
is laughing a squinting his eyes
Casey Oliver, Sean Matthew Downey, Liam McClelland, Chandra McFarnsworth

On Second Thought
01:39
|
|||
|
Let's not jump the gun right now
we need time apart
moderation is the key
too much sweet turns sour
I think I miss my own back home
I'm giving you my trust
give me distance get me back
your better off my crush
I cant stand to be there when your jokes grow old
you look so much better when there's more to know
it's not that i am sick of you I can't indulge
absence fondness hearts and such the loveless lull
now that there's been time apart Im missing you so much
second thoughts and hindsights prove the value of your touch
making me feel so in love i need you here right now
we were blind to think that we could be apart somehow
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
please don't leave me all alone now please don't leave me
here

There's no one around
we gotta play nice
we're taking our time
she's only mine now
this is a ray of dangerous games
holding your breath for over a day
this is a ray of dangerous games
contradictions abbreviation
damaged thinking is more addicting

Party Time
02:11
|
|||
|
met a teen that tried so many ways to be ignored
you can try to stop me but i won't let you out the door
finding all the instruments locked up inside your room
trying all the sounds but there's just too much to consume
it's always a party time
party time for me
you feel so alone when you are in a great big crowd
you can try to fix it but I'm not letting you out
i saw all the good girls fall in love with everyone
i saw all the people turn and run into the sun
