The Earth is fucked
Shit out of luck
Al Gore was right
We're gonna die

Call Girls
03:01
|
|||
All the call girls on my TV screen
They're gonna say my name
And make my dreams come true
And all I gotta do is pay the price
We'll be happy with a sparkle in our eyes
Sober and bitter, we will rise
In the morning, but for a moment
It'll be so nice...
I take a deep breath, and I keep looking forward
Wondering where my path will go
I overcompensate with too many words
Can't let them learn what they already know...
(They already know)
All the feelings, when I look at you
I wanna say your name
And make your dreams come true
But what you wanna do, I can't give
But I got some numbers, for a cheap thrill
I can fuck up all I want and they'll love me still
So please...
Live and let live...
I take a deep breath, and I keep looking back
Dreamin' about your magic glow...
But since you've gone my heart's gone black
Still don't know why you had to go...
(You had to go)

Trash Fuck Lover

Love me like the hurricane
That'll go around and make a scene
But calms down when you
look it in the eye...
Fuck me like the television
telenova with sappy lines
that make me forget
I wanna die...
And be my trash fuck lover...
Be my trash fuck lover...
Trash fuck lover...
Be my trash fuck lover
I'll be the perfect gentleman
and hold your hair while you're throwing up
Compliment your perfect
gangrene glow...
Kiss me in the parking lot
With cutesy lines and winks galore
Tell your boyfriend
I swear I didn't know
And be my trash fuck lover...
Be my trash fuck lover...
Trash fuck lover...
Be my trash fuck lover
And if you ask me, I'm doin' fine
I've got condoms aging like fine wine
And we'll be so bad
We'll drop each other like a dying fad
And we'll be soooo bad
We'll drop each other...
Be my trash fuck lover...
Be my trash fuck lover...
Trash fuck lover...
Be my trash fuck lover
We're all trash fuck lovers (trash fuck lovers)
Be My Trash Fuck lover...
We're all trash fuck lovers (trash fuck lovers)
Be my trash fuck lover...
Be my trash fuck lover

Is It Over
03:28
|
|||
Look into my eyes and you'll see what's died
From late last night a mental firefight
From jammed up gears grinding with fears
Greased with beers progressed to tears
Is it over...
Is it over now?
You're on the mend but it happens again
I lied in bed until 3 pm
Your soul's unfit and you feel like shit
When your body's not sick but your mind won't quit
Is it over...
Is it over now?
Is it over...
Is it over now?
Heed my advice don't lie through your eyes
My grip grows tight as your hands grow wetter
It's a bad, bad world...
And you can't expect me to make it any better
Sirens and horns responding to calls
Preventing, preparing the coming attacks
I've got my gun right here...
I've got my gun right here...
Is it over...
Is it over now?
Is it over...
Is it over now?

Pick Me Up
02:21
|
|||
It's been awhile since I last did this
So I don't know if I'm still good at it
They say the squeaky wheel's the one that ends up goin' farther...
But I never ever wanted to be a bother...
Truth be told these drugs won't save me
And neither will you
It's taken so long to get things right
But now I finally think I know what to do
Pick me up...
Pick me up...
I was gonna go back to school-but it wasn't right
Gonna get eight hours but-I woke up at night
They say that Rome it wasn't built-in one day
But it feels like with just a word-it could all fade away
Truth be told these drugs won't save me
And neither will you
It's taken so long to get things right
But now I finally think I know what to do
Pick me up...
Pick me up...
Pick me up...
Pick me up...

Two Squirrels are doing it...
Two Squirrels are doing it... Yea yea
Two Squirrels are doing it...
Out my window... Yea yea...
God damn the fire's been doused again
In the waters of my spite and sin
I've got a pint lodged in my brain
It's pushing my record against the grain
Well, Shit motherfucker ass shit fuck
I've lost but ain't givin' up
Ass fucker motherfucker bitch shit
I'm just so sick of it...
I was gonna see the dancers...
They were gonna give me all the answers...
Swingin' hips they light my fire...
Sellin' winks and love for hire...
Two Squirrels are doing it...
Two Squirrels are doing it... Yea yea
Two Squirrels are doing it...
Out my window... Yea yea...
My thirsty mind is numb
My skull is pounding like a beating drum
But I'll spend my coins and dimes
'Cuz even losers get to win sometimes
I was gonna see the dancers...
They were gonna give me all the answers...
Holy ghosts ask me to pray...
I pray the night won't go to waste-and I said...
Two Squirrels are doing it...
Two Squirrels are doing it... Yea yea
Two Squirrels are doing it...
Out my window... Yea yea...
We've no hope within our skulls...
I've not rhythm in my pulse...
And if we could woo the girls...
We could live as squirrels...
Two Squirrels are doing it...
Two Squirrels are doing it... Yea yea
Two Squirrels are doing it...
Out my window... Yea yea...
Two Squirrels are doing it...
Two Squirrels are doing it... Yea yea
Two Squirrels are doing it...
Out my window... Yea yea...
Oh...

Well I saw you in the city
And I felt you on the stage
I watched you on the TV
and I heard you in my rage
And I'm on four different pills now
Most to help me sleep
But none of them will bring me back to you
So much to say but none to do
Well I clenched my aching hands
In an old and dented car
I left behind my plans
That never would get far
And I was supposed to be the best of them
All my friends said I'd go far
But life ain't a movie after all
No on'es gonna catch you when you fall
Maybe I'll be fine...
But I'm running out of time...
Maybe I'll be fine...
But I'm running out of time...
And holy fuck you're beautiful
Like a burning limousine
And it's so fucking pitiful
They'll never see you beam
And I'll manage all your mania
Wash away your dysphoria
While you cry to me about America
And in my dreams your name will be Sarah
So I got up in the morning
Despite all weighing me down
I cried out all my mourning
And hugged my loved ones all around
And I saw in the sunrise
It sent shivers down my spine
I looked down at my healing scars
With my weary eyes and I thought...
Maybe I'll be fine...
But I'm running out of time...
Maybe I'll be fine...
But I'm running out of time...
Oh, I'll sit alone
Time will come, times will go
Lost in line, times outgrown
Life moves fast, time moves slow...
Oh, I'll sit alone
Time will come, times will go
Lost in line, times outgrown
Life moves fast, time moves slow...

I found myself playing the same songs on repeat
12 months after you left me
Resolutions and revolutions, what changes in a year?
I'm emotional, and immobile, but I'm staring down my fear
So tell the crowd, I'm comin' back home
Walkin' the burning asphalt road alone
I'm gettin' better, I'm gettin' older
Feeling nothing short of mediocre
Well I wrote this song while I was drinking alone
That's been a problem, but this time, I wasn't so prone
To the anxiety of society and the times you made me sad
I'm just singin' 'cuz I'm so glad
So tell your boys, I'm comin' back around
Singin' that old worn-out rhythmic sound
I've got some friends, and I'm stayin' sober
I'm nothing short of mediocre
And I... was warned...
by the battle-scorned...
How I was bound to lose...
on any path I choose...
But hey I think it's fun...
to hold a loaded gun...
and even if, I crash and burn...
Well I still got my turn...
I found myself playing the same songs on repeat
Five years after you broke me
I can barely breathe-but I know that I won't drown
I'm emotional-but still noble-and I can't be held down
So tell the world, I'm the saving grace
Swear I'll stick this landing-even if I lose face
I might be slippin', but I'm gettin' bolder
I'll be nothing short of mediocre
Nothing short of mediocre
Nothing short of mediocre
Nothing short of mediocre
I'm nothing short of mediocre

Nightcap
02:44
|

I am a loner, a hungry explorer
I quest for gold, and a girl with brown hair
I saw her once glowing bright in a bar
I'd visit, but she won't be there
Now I'm lost in the waves of an old broken heart
With a half dozen lovers I don't know
And I hoped that I could be your light in this storm
but it's passed, and I've got to let go
And I'll drink just to forget
My lies sins and regrets
'cuz I'm not feelin' alright
But if you should see me
And if you chose to free me
I'll be your nightcap tonight
I once knew a maiden with eyes like a blade
She stabbed me and made my heart hurt
Though you'll be in my arms she'll be on my mind
I'll cry, but say, "you're better than her"
And I'll drink just to forget
My lies sins and regrets
'cuz I'm not feelin' alright
But if you should see me
And if you chose to free me
I'll be your nightcap tonight
And I'll drink just to forget
My lies sins and regrets
'cuz I'm not feelin' alright
But if you should see me
And if you chose to free me
I'll be your nightcap tonight
I'll be your nightcap tonight
I'll be your nightcap tonight
