Squirrels in the yard are jumpin tree to tree While dogs like us, we get distracted by the fleas You're makin me feel like I am underneath The bleachers, you in your sneakers, and the hot-eared teachers And the manicured green Look at all these stars The highway's not too far I try my best but New York girls are so hard to impress Eight million to one and everybody walks like they're someone Tellin em off is such an easy way to play And risin above that, it gets harder every day Learnin your facts, yeah that don't matter anyway So pen your hot take and just throw it all away And look at all these stars The highway's not too far I try my best but New York girls are so hard to impress Eight million to one and everybody walks like they're someone But you You walk to me Gonna have to wait a week Trouble now gettin to sleep It's cold underneath the sheets But love is easy Sometimes wishin you were here Mostly wishin I was there I give you all I got to share And love is easy Eight million to one

Chatterbait 04:41
She reads like a comic book On Snapchat and feelin looks He don't even get high And she won't even reply How many tears he will cry How many times? How many times will you believe me? Well he reads the New York Times And he's sniffin stardust out of lines He knows the Father of the Bride He's gettin more than by And he'll have his in time How many times? How many times will you believe me? She's got the power now And she's got the stars and clouds He's crying stardust now And she's gonna show him how

Shit-Taker 01:38
I'm a ground-breaker You're a shit-taker I was bound to lose My mind in shades of blue Dance away Yeah, let it all go today And I'm 50 miles away Wonderin "where's my shame?" You turn off my electricity I need you less than drunken sleep I love you to my rotten core You forgot what I came down here for And who's laughin now? And who's keepin vows? If I told you that I loved you well I lied Who's laughin now? And who's keepin vows?

For dead flags blowin in the breeze We let them take over our streets Our kitchens, our children, they're in our sheets And now we're trippin daily For dead friends soakin up our steez You wake up shot by the police After 40 years overseas And now we're kneeling daily For dead flags blowin in the breeze Sha la la Generation procrastination Got to wait on our hands and knees No motivation What's your disease? Y'all forgot your creed After 40 years overseas And now we're kneelin daily For dead flags blowin in the breeze

Mama Zu 03:19
She's losin hair, man In Starchy-Sheets-Land Her wide-eyed stare run off To the bottom of a dry cough Cryin big tears now To The Back of Beyond I'll root for my heroes And I'll be singin their songs at the top of my lungs Oh my lungs Oh my lungs Won't ya take my lungs? Leg hair flowin freely In the stale breeze of healing Facin big fears now To The Back of Beyond I'll root for my heroes And I'll be singin their songs at the top of my lungs Oh my lungs Oh my lungs Won't ya take my lungs? You try, yeah you try to take a bow and they will cut you down at your knees Oh you try, yeah you try to take a bow and they will cut you down at your knees Oh boy To The Back of Beyond I'll root for my heroes And I'll be singin their songs at the top of my lungs Oh my lungs Oh my lungs Won't ya take my lungs?

E Broadway 03:30
I head to the city Because the city and your face They look the same And aren't you pretty? But you forgot my damn name so I ask Is this the line for the bathroom? I drank too much coffee today And all these girls You all look the same And I'm not lonely anymore Won't catch me starin at your floor boards Lift up your head Shoot down those lonely blues Got stopped on the highway For a ticket And the bond That I didn't pay Cop asked me ten questions And I forgot my own name so I ask Can ya meet me down at the station? I drank too much liquor tonight And all these cock-sucking mother-fucking shitty little piggies Yeah they were looking for a fight And I'm not lonely anymore Won't catch me starin at your floor boards Lift up your head Shoot down those lonely blues I've done all I can do With a bottle in the green room and a rusted spoon Both dripping from my mouth like some lead balloon And I'm standin on my X Starin straight into your room With a pair of brown eyes halfway to Jersey by noon And the palm trees line the road under that judgmental moon Hanging so low in your sky and mine
