This is how it ends
Getaway weekends
Designed to make believe
To hide the uncertainty
It seems like we're spinning all the time
This is how it ends
Cursing dividends
So we count backwards from ten
To see how it begins
It seems like we're counting all the time
We're counting all the time
Counting all the time
This is how it ends
Electronic friends
Declined to direct Dupree
Classic Robert-y
And it seems like we're missing all the time
Hold up you telephone
To feel like you're not alone
Over with the undertones
Clumsy on cobblestones
Sing to the microphone
To feel like you’re not alone

Zeitgeist Right Now
03:51
|
|||
|
Tell me where you came from
How'd you get so much sun
Smelling like a smoking gun
How'd you come so undone
You can count me out
Had it up to now
Wondering about
Losing for lessons
Out of the guessing
Racing like a chariot
No intention to unplug
Living with a formula
Never adding up to sum
You can count me out
Digital and loud
It's zeitgeist right now
Losing for lessons
All of us guessing

Keep chasing the children
Till they run out of sight
Hope that they'll be alright
Keep up with the juniors
Keep up with the not so bright
Hope that they'll be alright
Keep up with familiar
Keep barking more than you bite
Hoping that I'll be alright
Keep up with elders
Keep waking up every night
Hope that we'll be alright

Weekends Are Valuable
07:19
|
|||
|
Convenient and flexible
And best of all we’re near you
Your future is well assured
At location near you too
(You) got me swerving on the interstate
(You) got me swerving on the interstate
Allegiance and loyalty
We are made that way like you
Promise to share success
That is unless
(You) got me swerving on the interstate
(You) got me swerving on the interstate

|
I know you're on
Something strong
Like everyone
Quarians
Passing the keys
So indiscreet
I know you're un-
Gentleman
Beware of fun
Quarian
Passing the keys
So helplessly
King of the scene
No (small) victory

Meow
04:30
|
|||
|
Tell me when the world stops turning
Tell me all my children ends
And then
We'll get down to funny business
Wax poetic over petty crimes
Living down the expectations
Never gonna be the cat’s meow
Contradict the congregation
Terrified of talking anyhow
Subway singing Arkansas
Theories stringing us along
Tell me the wheels stop turning
Tell me when it’s safe to close my eyes
We’ll get past the concrete kisses
Disconnect the drunken butterflies
Subway singing Arkansas
Theories stringing us along

Half of It
03:25
|

|
You don't even know the half of it
Imitating like you’re counterfeit
Now you’re acting like benevolent
You don’t even know the half of it
You don’t even know the half of it
You don’t even seem that into it
Now you’re watching like the government
You don’t even know the half of it
You don’t even know the half of it
Hand it over like a conduit
Caught you straking like a Jesuit
I don’t even know the half of it
You don’t even know the half of it
You don’t even know the half of it
You don’t even know the half of it
You don’t even know the
You don’t even know the half of it
Never thought it’d be so evident
Marching orders are irrelevant
You don’t even know the half of it
You don’t even know the half of it
You don’t even know the half of it
You don’t even know the half of it
You don’t even know the half of it

On With The Show
03:31
|
|||
|
Didn't you know?
We're never too slow
We could rush along, forget the song and if we don't we'll probably play it wrong
You'll probably sing along
On with the show
The devil, we know
The quarterbacks, aristocrats and diplomats resemble well dressed ghosts
That we love the most
Keep it in the home
A heave for every ho
Leaving here in droves
Now everybody knows
Look out below
Geronimo
Addicted to free falls, suburban sprawl and what we had, we promptly let it go
You were the first to know
Keep it in the home
A heave for every ho
Together we're alone
Now everybody knows

Said Life
03:37
|
|||
|
A cursed life
An unblessed heart
Needs relief
Needs regard
A toothful kiss
To pick a nit
Don't give up
Like a hypocrite
Expensive thought
Thrifty fist
Can’t be sold
Can’t be bought
Take it back
Don't be slow
All that is
All that goes

Oh Eleanor
I can't explain it anymore
Oh Eleanor
The knights aren't armored anymore
Oh Eleanor
When you walked in (here) from the porch
I could have swore
Oh Eleanor
Super extraordinary voices
Sang from the Balkans after 8
Say what you will about the warning
I didn’t want to hear the tape

Leave Their Homes
02:04
|
|||
|
Immigrated,
By never staying in line
almost all of the time
Bifurcated,
from spending the time of his life,
almost half of the time
Where do poems go
When the leave their homes
Imitated
Scribble stories that rhyme
Stolen words, borrowed time
Confiscated
Safe from the southern decline
Always drawing the lines
Where do poems go
When the leave their homes

Asphalt Angel

Independent
Supernatural cigarettes
Old opinions
Extra beautiful upset
At your own expense
Inverted innocence
Ending to begin
Not so different
Asphalt angels
Who can watch the most TV?
Offer honor
Chasing charity chassis
At your own expense
Inverted innocence
Ending to begin
Not so different
The break for every bend
Continuous suspense
Ending to begin
Not so different

Was it real
Outa site
Was is something you were scared to sacrifice?
So they say
Let it go
Walk away before you get too close
Nevermind
Yesterday
If you close your eyes it might just go away
Out of space
Out of heart
The imaginary world just fell apart
Mis-direction is a loaded gun
Convenient capitan
Hiding like a quiet creation
Goldenauer everyone
Over time
Over flow
The imaginary world in stereo

Legendary
Defense of Barry
Downes
Military
Cemetery

What's with all this creeping around
Like some acre where we're never allowed
Curtains for certain
Reasons that we can't understand
Tell me something I do not know
It won’t be alright
Tell me something I do not know
Secondary
Secretary
Found
Ordinary
Sedentary
Sound
What's with all this creeping around
While there's people on the underground
Curtains for certain
Reasons that we can’t understand
Tell me something I do not know
It won’t be alright
Tell me something I do not know

I always thought you knew
The end of the story
Before it’s evenly begun
Flexible mother

Beautiful cover
Derelict debutant
Always thought you’d
Be in the movies
I was wrong
Flexible mother
President astronaut
Beautiful cover
