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

She's an Artist
02:39
|
|||
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

I Felt Strange
04:33
|
|||
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!
