>>>SNOWY
Stretch long, white prince, blink your black eye
throw back the curtains and swing the windows wide
balance up high / in a secret place.
Hold your own with an evolved grace
silent repetitive thoughts make you strong
without wings you insist you will fly
dirty little big nose boy, grappling with things that girls keep
walking with a private joy, fall down suddenly and go to sleep
you are a tiny galaxy in which every finally makes sense
we can swim in you and step out of the water
don't send for the doctor.
Don't send for the exorcist
we can swim in you. we can swim in you
silent repetitive tasks make you strong
without wings you insist you will fly'
>>>THE MOST USELESS THING
I know you're trying. I know your heart is breaking.
I know you feel like the most useless thing to ever walk the earth.
And it's true that we all come to this one time or another.
A kiss can kill you, brother. But it's a sweet death, I know.
So close your eyes, and let yourself come undone.
This strange world is overrun by bastards and fools like you.
And if you need to cry, go ahead. Cry a bathtub into your bed, darling.
>>>MILLENNIUM FEVER BALLAD
In the last remaining weeks we realize there's nothing to lose
the stars will break from the heavens now and fall
we'll have a ball in the last remaining weeks.
In the last remaining days we blow off everything
that doesn’t mean the very most
let's drink a toast to the last remaining days.
Tick, tick, tick and turn around
you're smiling as you spin away.
Tick tock, tick tock
tick tick and turn around
you're smiling as you spin...
In the last remaining minutes swimming in your eyes
fireworks nail us to a sky that looks just like an orchid blooming black
step on a crack in the last remaining minutes
the funny times and torn up rhymes
play just like a movie in my dizzy head
another year is dead and I still never told you
that...I love you.
In the last remaining seconds
we reconcile resistance and let go
the instinct to survive has gone to hell
let's ring the bells in the last remaining seconds.
>>>UNDERDOG
The leaves sympathize. They break from the sky,
like whispers, like fossils
worn smooth and revived.
Absolutes testify, absolutes testify.
Every kind of dreamer walks through this door from a hole in their head
when they fall asleep wanting more, more, more.
>>>DEATH BY NORTHWEST
What can pass for sticks and stones these days
Wait for my pretty hands, pretty fingers
Let go your plans/ make way, for my mouth
It's all louder on the western front
Since you’ve invaded this snakepit
But make way, make way for my mouth
It's a powder keg / fuck you Mark E. / nothing makes you happy anyway
Load up the death by northwest, then louder!
South is where the heart is
Zig-zagging continents / straddling the salt and the sea
Make way for death by northwest / it's a tiger trap turned into a cookie jar
It's not far / settle your accounts — the end is near.
>>>DANDELIONS
Set me down in the shadiest spot you can find.
My mind’ll sink like a stone
down, down, down so dark it seems I’m blind.
I’ll never find my way back home
unless I follow the trail of...
Dandelions—their little yellow faces
Dandelions—in a class with the weeds
Dandelions—cut their heads off with a scissors
You know they’re gonna save the day
gorgeous, glorious sweet satisfaction is mine
i’m looking for a sign, greenlite go!
you’re on my mind
your the little devil in my heart
i let you out of your box
run, run, run you ticking time bomb clock
there’s no telling what trouble you’ll start
once you catch a glimmer of...
Dandelions—cut their heads off with the scissors
Dandelions—in a class with the weeds
Dandelions—between your toes
They’re here now. They’re watching you. You know they gotta have it. The
dandelions’ll save the day. You know they’re gonna save the day.
