Drop of the hat and I might wonder
Days away
I take it on the chin to begin
I got the door to the key
The poster's dripping down
With four walls holding out all right
Right or wrong
Drive the spaceship through the halo
It's all a gas

Tank the Color Guard
01:21
|
|||
|
Room in a building locked like a prisoner
Wait for time in the yard
Stripe all the solids
Tracking an endless form through a universal horizon
And let's tank the colourguard
Based on pretense and motivation
Tired lights glow through the microscope
Carbon paper design
And I like kicking clouds but that's not a thing I do

Seeds of Your Wings
01:51
|
|||
|
Through fading lies the bummer surprises us and the hands clasp
Behind the squeaks are halfwit leaks that wetten us and fatten us like the cows we are
And don't you like the way that trouble always finds us in the end
And don't you want to know which way is up in the carbon cloud
Which way is up, which way is down
This life is sweet but it checked me out
Besides it costs too much
Tie another on for The Greatest Hits

Out of Terminals
02:18
|

|
Thinking of me
Roll of the dice
Sticking out your neck
I'm jerkin around, figuring it out
But I'm a flash in the pan
Who knows when I'll give out
Just a roll of the dice
You're thinking for three
Who am I?
Sticking out my neck again
Fucking it up
Rolling the dice
Just a flash in the pan
Over again, you've heard it before

Hide A Coin (Spend It)
02:20
|
|||
|
All day long the temperature's wrong
This isn't a song
And the rest of the day was lies and mistakes
Let's cut to the chase
Stick to the plan
Babe can I be your man and own the jokes and learn to coax you out?
I had a feel like I caught a raw deal
Based on the facts; the quality of that
It's a long way down again
I had a feel like I had a heart to steal

Sync to Rendezvous
01:35
|
|||
|
The trapperkeeper under microscope
There's the gas
It's a place
It's a feeling
Bus to shuttle out to suburbs
Tram to train and to load out again
And the radios are playing the same songs
The city streets are wall to wall beer tents
Block by block
Sync to rendezvous
I hope we don't miss each other too much
|

Watching Scanners
01:24
|
|||
|
Dreams based on rounding corners
Stated by counting backwards
Specifically for collecting spiders
Things, time to drop the hammer
Only give me what matters
Do you want me now or never?
Receipts for tracking subtractions
Because I think I need one
Just for keeps
Just to give it away

Lombard Sightings
01:09
|
|||
|
If we've been waiting for 100 years then here's 100 more
Lombard sightings, I guess you were there
Sifting through the clues in the thrift
It's all used
It's all mine
When I tried to wear the cape it was full of holes
So New Lenox Rentals
Drifting through the years
At the thrift
Completely scared and in love

Tobacco Résumé
01:58
|
|||
|
The light's shut out
The hotbox cold
If sleep's a skill then I'm winning now
Controllers are set full trap so soldier on
We're soldiers
I crush a soft pack
I'm stacking the racks
I'm licking the wounds that battle me back
I've got a sharp tongue
I'm winning right?
We're moving on
So trip the alarms
We're set to stink
I'll tank the gas so we can drink all day

Livin' in A Doorway
02:40
|
|||
|
I wanna know your name, where you came from and how you feel about the road
You came drifting through the fields and the hills but I'll see you at the show
You'll be hangin' with the kids in the club, getting dumb
You're alright and the poison tastes so sweet
The last few days the beggars been keepin back their hands
And the way your lips are speaking all your shit
Got me feeling like a man
Drivin' with a left arm tan
We're alright and the poison tastes so sweet
The way I watch your shadow disappear, it comes as no surprise
And the gasoline drips down the walls
The engines in our eyes
Peelin' down the streets in the rain
You're the same, we're alright

Turn and Cry, Cry
00:52
|
|||
|
Turn and cry, cry
Who's on the airwaves?
My traphouse queen again
Oh top class war girls
Let me wrap my head around
As I turn to cry, cry
Who's on the airwaves again?

Circle the Wagons
00:35
|
|||
|
I'll be rounding the corner boys with bells on
It's better late than never to circle the wagons
|

Hotter Pilots
00:46
|
|||
|
I got a hand in it but I found another hole in my pocket
I used to mess with it
Picked it up but baby I dropped it
And it's a quarter turn to get it back to the heart
And there's a tipping point but baby I don't know where to start
Where do we start?

Fence and Field
01:56
|
|||
|
I can do whatever I want
It's a free world
I can tune into anyone in the room
Except you
You're complete
As I trace the lines across your palms
Through the door
Another war in a family frame
Tried to tie another one on before we go
And this change happens now
And I'm stuck in the corners of your mouth
I tried to bury the maps but the highway rode it wrong
And the clouds were filled with trash on the highway
I saw the traps but missed the catch
The highway rode it wrong
If I'm the field then you're the fence
|

Screws with Movies
01:25
|
|||
|
I took the dead jobs and stacked them up, a quarter pack
To kiss the girls
To feed the seeds
Hang on a dead phone
You'll fax it in and I'll quote it out
Looks like old hat
Feels like a new star
To reach to your goal
To catch my eye
Selling the house and I wonder why
