Let's spend hours stare at storms in the wood grain
The smile, the thrill, the killer changed lanes
The jungle gym hit the car deep in his blindspot
Las olas, las tormentas this our last shot
Put on some formless music for the age to come
Immaculate, immaculate, the stars blocked the sun
It wasn't gravity that was keeping her down
It wasn't gravity that was keeping her down
She's so
High
I am out with lanterns, seeking myself
The pennies, your eyelids, no sense of wealth
She had questions, and this felt wrong
This heaven, this hurting, she bled out this song
Sun circles the earth like a grieving mother
The critics, the critics, they will find another
It wasn't gravity that was keeping her down
It wasn't gravity that was keeping her down
She's so
High

Beaks Bloody
02:33
|

Hey there birdy, birdy, I got myself a little bit of a bone to pick with you
Changing me, changing me, changing me, changing me
Your feathers look so weird, and that beak looks a little funny to me
Changing me, changing me, changing me, changing me
I don't know how and don't know why, but no one here really likes my kind
Changing me, changing me, changing me, changing me
Hospitality is not the bending of the knee
Hospitality is not the bending of the knee
Changing me, changing me, changing me, changing me
Push me down down
Get back up up
Can't you change anything
Can't you change anything
Listen birdy, birdy, you know you better fly right
Changing me, changing me, changing me, changing me
Mama bird has flown the roost, it's time for you to meet your truth
Changing me, changing me, changing me, changing me
I don't know what I've been told, but bloody beaks are all that's sold
Changing me, changing me, changing me, changing me
If it were up to me, we'd all be seen. If it were up to me, we'd all be seen
Changing me, changing me, changing me, changing me
Push me down down
Get back up up
Can't you change anything
Can't you change anything
I balled my fist, I threw the punch
The bully thought he'd get my lunch
The tears that flowed, surprised our eyes
This bully reduced, to just some guy
The mother, the father
The sister, the brother
The taxi driver down the street who just lost his lover
The policeman, my sensei, the guy I met last Wednesday
We give it to each other
We give it to each other
If you get pushed down
I'll pick you up
Did that change anything
Did that mean anything
If they push you down
I'll help you up
No, I'm not your enemy, not your enemy

Here she comes
Five and a half
Miles high
There she is, coming down the staircase
There she is, coming down the staircase
I can't be
Who she needs
And she's here with him
There she is, coming down the staircase
There she is, coming down the staircase
In Kathmandu
And base camp, too
She was on her own
There she is, coming down the staircase
There she is, coming down the staircase
She asked Derek what's wrong with you
He said I don't know, baby
It turned out that he was
Into Pierre who hailed from Amsterdam
She was crying, and I just held her hand
There she is, coming down the staircase
There she is, coming down the staircase
Here she comes
Ten and a half
Minutes late
There she is, coming down the staircase
There she is, coming down the staircase
Can't believe
What I see
She's here with me
There she is, coming down the staircase
There she is, coming down the staircase

I didn't mean to do nothing wrong by surviving the plane crash
There were things that I failed to do, my tray table upright
We dive, we dip
The pilot let it slip we are bracing for impact
The attendants are pouring the last of the red
The attendants are now pouring the last of the red
I got to wake up this morning
Surprise! It's the gift of guilt
Oh you shouldn't have
Look at another new day dawning
Surprise! It's the gift of guilt
Oh you shouldn't have
Surprise! It's the gift of guilt
Oh you shouldn't have
This plane is going down
The rescue team digged through the debris yeah, there ain't no survivors
There are things that I do regret, as climbed through the window
We dive, we dip
The pilot let it slip we are bracing for impact
This cabin pressure's dropping way too fast
This cabin pressure's dropping way too fast
I got to wake up this morning
Surprise! It's the gift of guilt
Oh you shouldn't have
Look at another new day dawning
Surprise! It's the gift of guilt
Oh you shouldn't have
Surprise! It's the gift of guilt
Oh you shouldn't have
This plane is going down

Here With Me
04:20
|

Since I was 17
The source of my anxiety
Was you, before I knew you
Feel out of place
Like a club kid televangelist
What am I doing here
Peace is joy at rest
And joy is peace stood up
Let's tune in, the last music on Earth
We are infinite
Beings going through, a finite
A finite experience
Hush, hush, hush, baby
This is an old hurt for a new fear
Hush, hush, hush, baby
You belong here
Right here
Here with me
If I fall, I fall
The one I become afterall
Will catch me, set me down here
It's all about going home
At least I hope that's so
I hope so, in the end
Oh this Harvest Moon
Watch her eyes in bloom
Everything's brighter, with you here
Come a little closer now
Wanna see you dance, in this streetlight
Come dance with me
Hush, hush, hush, baby
This is an old hurt for a new fear
Hush, hush, hush, baby
You belong here
Right here
Here with me
Please please baby, don't shake no more

My Kinda Rotten Person
02:34
|
|||
Once upon a time there was this horrible girl
Her rent was always late, vodka violence is Cheryl
Tommy's black eye was from Cheryl's right cross
But he was in love and he's also Cheryl's boss
Angel, she's my angel
Watch as she cuts in the front of the movie ticket line
Angel, she's my angel
Oh she took that last cookie, which she demurely declines
Alley oop oop
My kinda, my kinda, my kinda
Alley oop oop
My kinda, my kinda rotten girl
Alley oop oop
My kinda, my kinda, my kinda
She's the worst kinda girl I know, but I'm still taking her home
Cheryl declined the offered ride home
That's not her scooter and she's facing the wrong way
Tommy bailed her out and now she's late for work
The gang is all here, let's sing it to her now
Angel, she's my angel
Watch as she cuts in the front of the movie ticket line
Angel, she's my angel
Oh she took that last cookie, which she demurely declines
Alley oop oop
My kinda, my kinda, my kinda
Alley oop oop
My kinda, my kinda rotten girl
Alley oop oop
My kinda, my kinda, my kinda
She's the worst kinda girl I know, but I'm still taking her home

I really, really thought we were past this
Are you home
Do you really think this effort needs a special plan
Are you home
I really was hoping that I wouldn't fit the bill
Are you home
Something yet to see
You've seen as much from me
I'm falling outta the tree
Sometimes, sometimes
Can't
Use
Me if I'm useless
Can't
Use
Me if I'm useless
Honestly, this whole things feels so tragic
Are you home
Stay at home, and don't you deal with the traffic
Are you home
I learned, I left, I lied until I fit the bill
Are you home
Something yet to see
You've seen as much from me
I'm falling outta the tree
Sometimes, sometimes
Can't
Use
Me if I'm useless
Can't
Use
Me if I'm useless
All these people can't use you if you're useless
So let's be useless
People can't use you if you're useless
So let's be useless

Break Me Like a Promise
03:10
|
|||
The drugs fell out
Fell out of my pocket
As I did a somersault
Across your floor
And I fell in love
In love with the actress
Playing the role of my wife
Oh, the part she was born to play
Do you think - we'll realize
Leapt through hoops - and eulogized
Just break me, please break me
Love gets tangled - marginalized
Late nights are - circumscribed
Just break me, please brake me
Come over tonight
And break me like a promise you'll never keep
Well, the drugs wore off
Wore off at the interview
And I would not confirm
My own birthday
We fell in love
In love in Barbados
And she did not want to leave
And I knew we couldn't stay
Do you think - we'll realize
Leapt through hoops - and eulogized
Just break me, please break me
Love gets tangled - marginalized
Late nights are - circumscribed
Just break me, please brake me
Come over tonight
And break me like a promise you'll never keep
Sleeping too close to a box fan I realized
I like it better when rules don't apply
And everyday with you is like just walking on the moon
How come no one told me how cool the keytar looked
The drugs fell out
Fell out of my pocket
As I did a somersault
Across your floor
And I fell in love
In love with the actress
Playing the role of my wife
Oh, the part she was born to play
Do you think - we'll realize
Leapt through hoops - and eulogized
Just break me, please break me
Love gets tangled - marginalized
Late nights are - circumscribed
Just break me, please brake me
Come over tonight
And break me like a promise you'll never keep

Well I don't think
We could ask directions here
And I'll be the first to admit that I don't know where we are
Mission control
Asked us for a status report
At least two hours ago, who knows it might be more
We found ourselves in love in outer space
Days and nights were fine once we finally shed our gravity
What if we don't say nothing
Float around up in this atmosphere
What if we don't say nothing
Float around up in this atmosphere
First time, airlock
The sun just hits so nice
Get out of your space suit and let's find ourselves a drink
She left a note
In my helmet on the hatch
I open my Valentine, she's counting Saturn's rings
Dust off the stardust from the mantle
We can spend the day exploring Uranus
What if we don't say nothing
Float around up in this atmosphere
What if we don't say nothing
Float around up in this atmosphere
Lunar Explorer, This is mission control
All systems are go. It's been quite the patrol
The coms are all working. So's the vocal enhancer
And we've called 16 times, so um-Why won't you answer
Life support - Check. Looks like you're thriving
But look guys - You gotta know the time's arriving
To pack up your moon rocks. Get out of this place
You gotta leave soon or you'll be trapped up in space
What if we don't say nothing
Float around up in this atmosphere
What if we don't say nothing
Float around up in this atmosphere
Yes, we're lost
And we'll probably die up here
Plenty doing the same thing back home, without the view
Houston is pissed
We're mixing Tangaritas
I carved our names into the cargo bay door
I'll hang the space suits on the clothes line
You look so beautiful by the light of Uranus
What if we don't say nothing
Float around up in this atmosphere
What if we don't say nothing
Float around up in this atmosphere
Joke's over people. Come on time to go
I know you're okay, but your air's running low
Now that medical sensors are all activated
It looks like your heart rates are quite elevated
Water's level's good, but it won't last forever
But you know that. That's why you're showering together
If you turn around now, you don't have to be hurried
But It's time to come home guys. Your spouses are worried
What if we don't say nothing
Float around up in this atmosphere
What if we don't say nothing
Float around up in this atmosphere
What if we don't say nothing
Float around up in this atmosphere
What if we don't say nothing
Float around up in this atmosphere

How to Abandon Ship
02:57
|

O Captain, my Captain
The rum is getting low
The rats are running rampant
Having fun down below
No land off the bow
To the port or to the stern
Batten down the hatches
As we head into this storm
Brave Captain, The vessel
O she heaves so bad
Twill take a miracle
For us to make land
O Captain, my Captain
The hour gets so late
Change our course now
And save this sailor's fate
O Captain! my Captain! rise up to hear the bells
O Captain, my Captain
Our ship ain't so great
The sails are torn and tattered
The deck ripped but hey
The leaks hold for now
A Nor'easter heads our way
Forty days no land in sight
The provisions spoil away
Brave Captain, The vessel
O she heaves so bad
Twill take a miracle
For us to make land
O Captain, my Captain
The hour gets so late
Change our course now
And save this sailor's fate
O Captain! my Captain! rise up to hear the bells
O Captain, my Captain
Our ship ain't so great
The sails are torn and tattered
The deck ripped but hey
The leaks hold for now
A Nor'easter heads our way
Forty days no land in sight
The provisions spoil away
Brave Captain, The vessel
O she heaves so bad
Fear another blow
Will let sink us in the deepest of ends
Keel cracked, anchor lost
Gale has torn her apart, I bet we never see our port
O Captain! my Captain! rise up and hear the bells
Rise up—for you the flag is flung—for you the bugle trills
For you bouquets and ribbon'd wreaths—for you the shores a-crowd
For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turn
Here Captain! Dear father
This arm beneath your head
