Hey 03:54
Lost in a sea of paper moons and New Yorker bags Hanging on girls arms ‘til they’re reduced to rags That which goes by I feel inside I needed you more than I thought When did our love start to do what it’s told We struck new sparks on the anvils of old Though lost and wrong, we’ve got our songs Hey I needed you more than I thought

Turn it Up! 04:00
Hey you gotta give it all away Guess nothin’s really here to stay We wouldn’t really want it to Wait wait everybody’s going to your place? Who’s got the aux who’s got the good PA I wanna get the fuck out of my room Lord it keeps ringing like feedback switching on Lord it keeps ringing turn it all up til it’s gone Wait, everybody wants to sleep with who? It doesn’t matter if it isn’t you Unless they wanna sleep with me… Get everybody out tonight Cuz no one else can make the streets come alive And no one else can set your asses all alight... Lord it keeps ringing cuz the end might not be long Lord it keeps ringing turn my heart up til its gone If there’s a life that’s worth living it’s found inside the rhythm Let the rhythm come take us home

Structure 02:12
Waiting on a train Waiting while my body decays I just don’t know what I like anymore Racing like a train Blowing through the hallways til I’m circling the drain Give me liberty or give me death Structure (In my life) Structure (Don’t know where it went) Structure (In my life) Structure (When’s it coming back?) The world becomes a punching bag and I punch it hard Then I become a dartboard sucking down darts Lock me up and throw away the key A blessing and a curse Sometimes the worst but sometimes the words Work like party poppers in parades Structure (In my life) Structure (Don’t know where it went) Structure (In my life) Structure (When’s it coming back?) I think I think too much Structure (In my life) Structure (Don’t know where it went) Structure (In my life) Structure (When’s it coming back?)

Flirtation 02:13
So I met this girl at a party And she took me home afterwards And her place was nice enough But when we got up to her room-- Oh! It was messy! And It was nothing like the way she dressed or talked Oh Flirtation! Flirtation And her shoes were clean And her hair was straight And she twisted me And she walked away And the talk was small And potential huge And her eyes were like The deepest pools But Oh! I just liked the Flirtation! Is that wrong? Flirtation Vanilla extract You smell so sweet And you taste, well, Like most people when you know ‘em way too well That’s why I like Flirtation!

I Fall Hard 03:04
She said “It just isn’t you, I just gotta stay in school And you’re leaving” Well I know that im confused I don’t even have tattoos But my love will remain true Through the seasons And there’s no one else I know in the city No one else I want Hanging with me I fall hard every single time I could fall waiting in line at the DMV or a funeral I fall hard every single time I could fall like rates of crime when the weather’s mean Or the streets are cold And with the season new Warm sun and summer dew Of you so cold and cruel I’m still thinking How you were always right I love love just like a child I lead a tunnel vision life And I’m blinking! And there’s no one else I know in the city No one else I want Hanging with me yeah I fall hard every single time I fall hard waiting in line at the DMV I fall hard every single time waiting in line Happens to me

Kisscam 04:06
Here, looking overhead Men are passing by Between advertisments and foreign numbers Licorice and corn Sports and uniforms Only set the scene for our hands together still And if you wanted I would kiss you Make a scene for the whole stadium cuz I’ve waited long For our time to come When our time is done We’ll have a love to remember Stripes and pantaloons Drunken, singing tunes Who can stick around past a seventh inning stretch? And if you wanted I would kiss you Make a scene for the whole stadium cuz Cuz I’ve waited long For our time to come When our time is done We’ll have a love to remember Oh it’s so brief The wild ecstasy From here to Arcady Where every kiss lasts forever… And now it’s finally here It happens every day of the year Every day Stuck in the red and the blue and the green And the blue and the green And the red and the blue and the green Til it turn to grey Will it turn to grey? Up on the kisscam No one can touch us Yeah we’re too high! Up on the kisscam Looking the wrong way Yeah we’re too high! Up on the kisscam Just for a moment Yeah we’re too high Up on the kisscam! Was all that i wanted! Yeah we’re too high And all my life I’ve waited for someone like you to come

Modern Rock 03:00
Modern rock has got me dizzy I go to shows and something’s missing… Like why’s this place always filled with hippies That sing so limply and don’t know their history? Tell me (tell you what) Why can't (anyone?) Sell me (sell you what?) What I want you to! Seems so simple Just sing that which is true It gets so hard though Yeah Im trying to I feel so bad then For those wretched critics’ hearts ‘Tis better to be sleeping Than to run with scissors in the dark Tell me (tell you what) Why can't (anyone?) Sell me (sell you what?) What I want you to! Help me (help with what?) It aint (gotta be so hard) I just wanna rock with you! And no press kits And no videos And no nothin’ Just noise And you and me baby Against the stillness of the night… And we’re coming home We’re coming to your house Yeah you can come along All the poseurs too And you scum-sucking spotify fucks

I was feeding ducks in central park until the dawn Didn’t wanna sleep cuz then the magic would’ve gone I was smoking cigarettes cuz I felt invincible then I was feeling you and you were touching on my sleeve Asked if you played instruments you said the tambourine Sparkles like a spell, floats me in and out of third person And she’s an artist Drawing hearts upon the skin Right above where my heart is Feels like falling in love I’m addicted to the rush of love and then I dip I just want the flowers and the sodas the old shit I just wanna be fucking you all night long Cuz you’re the artist Drawing hearts upon the skin Right above where my heart is Feels like falling in love And she’s an artist…

Junebugs! 03:15
Who’s got the right idea? Who’s out there comin round Who’s out there looking out Who’s out there looking out for me I swear I was looking out for you Then something’s wrong And the thought is gone Then something’s wrong Who’s got the right idea? Who’s out there comin round Who’s out there looking out Who’s out there looking out for me I swear I was looking out for you Then something’s wrong It goes on and on When something’s wrong Junebugs! Who’s got the right idea? Who’s out there comin round Who’s out there looking out Who’s out there looking out for me I swear I was looking out for you Then something’s wrong It goes on and on When something’s wrong Junebugs!

I Admire You 03:36
You’re heading early to your book club at ten Then your day job and night shift Then you do it again I walk up Bowery street stoned and so confused Ancient history looming all around but I feel new When you come back home I just want to know How do you do All that you do? I lay on the floor like a mop I want you to know When you get tired I’ll come to life and I’ll sweep you up I admire you You move like fire spreading into the street I get quiet at the wrong time and kill the party How you keep me sane Hope to be the same How do you do All that you do? I lay on the floor like a mop I want you to know When you get tired I’ll come to life and I’ll sweep you up I admire you

Laura 03:07
Oh come to me Or I’ll come to you I only wanna do what you want to Be real mean Or read magazines Your tongue is sharp but my love’s a whetstone new Laura there’s something about the way You sit and you smoke on the fire escape I’d walk from Harlem to Sheepshead Bay Just to hear your lips moving to say my name I guess that’s all I wanted to say Take a walk with me Tell me anything Would your sister care If you let me cut your hair Take a walk with me Round the willow tree It may weep in lines But we’re just entwined Laura there’s something about the way You make eyes with me ‘cross the gallery I’d walk from Harlem to Sheepshead Bay Just to hear your lips moving to say my name I guess that’s all I wanted To be near you In your arms where Autumn cannot touch us now... Laura there’s something about the way You sit and you smoke on the fire escape I’d walk from Harlem to Sheepshead Bay Just to hear your lips moving to say my name I guess that’s all I wanted to say

All the world was enraged And I was stuck in the bathroom There was blood in my bile I had a brand new lease on life I cut out, upwards and left, The wind blew me around Was it just a mistake? At the Downtown Brooklyn Hospital Center At the Downtown Brooklyn Hospital Center They took my pulse And said some very nice things about my looks Took a walk in the park Saw some ladies rolling over As the green became white And September became October Who’s behind the wheel now? I think I’m in the trunk If it’s not my balls Then it's in my brain If it's in my blood Then it's here to stay Cuz there’s something awry Lest there's something amiss I had a belly full of fire And nowhere to piss! I felt strange Calling a bluff it was no epiphany it was the same old stuff I felt strange! I felt strange but alive I had to keep my eyes open if they closed I would die I felt sick and diseased I was walking up Manhattan with a slab of meat I felt sick--had enough! I thought I wanted coca-cola when I wanted to fuck I felt strange!
