lyrics

The bastards they hung me
While the lizard got high
Sure, my tambourine had been too truthful
But it committed no crime
Can you see me if u squint hard
And could you name my dog?
Cause I won't be back this time

When I left you in Reno
I knew you were gold
With those maximum security brown eyes
I never could unfold
But I never should have fallen
For the lizard’s bride
But at least we had our time

I was too greedy with my symbols
And sure, my hands were too big
My pancakes too well planned
And my lyrics too thick
But is it all that much to ask you
To just once look back
And can u see me through the mist?

Know my clothes
Are promised to the void
And the lizard's bride
She cannot touch me now
That one clean taste
That punctures all
It's not that cruel
And you should trust it now

The lizard killed my family
And my followers were sad
But they forgot about it come Monday
And left my out on my ass
And now that I'm not special
Well could you love me now
Or are there some things you can't take back

More fish tanks more problems
And the more I unsee
the better my omelets
And the cleaner my threes
Giving up is no guarantee
But it's the best we got
And I'm not ashamed to rot

Know my clothes
Are promised to the void
And the lizard's bride
She cannot touch me now
That one clean taste
That punctures all
It's not so cruel
And you should trust it now

And I will fly fly fly
And I will fly fly fly
Yes I will fly fly fly
And I will fly fly fly

Listen I'm sorry I traded u fr a horse in a past life
But holding grudges is pretty 20th century

Maximum security blue eyes
you're just baiting vandals now

I went to there like a hungry man looking fr a sandwich in a bank

The tall boy is rooting
For a trial
While the cool kids get ready
But the crime is so late
The poplars are cringing now
And the sound guy says i have to be in bed by ten

I once had a famous boyfriend
But his songs were such trash
When I found you there with that slow slow love
It was like guessing at the past
And those maximum security brown eyes
I found so easy to unfold
But so difficult to make them last

The rivers are misquoted
As supporters of the past
The bastards are dreaming
Of a simpler time
While the paranoid are singing
What a wonderful crime
And Now that I'm not special
do you think you could get me a show?

I've come to say I'm sorry

My rear view mirror might b busted
but don't tell me no lies

My soda might be salty
But it doesn't speak too loud to you now does it?

My drummers seem half hearted
But they always know

My lyrics may seem idiotic
But my hands i have just two of them
and they are regular sized

I was such a honest peice of shit
Could u at least give me that?

Paradigms of plenty
I know u have a lot of love swimmin yet
Deaf swimming
Crow physics
Sweet disease 4 and 2
A match made in marmalade
The management of cruelty
To the Sound of one broom lovin
I am efficiently nocturnural
My best lover I only ever see on holloween.

The music of my alone time
Kate bush oats lost in vt highways
Weeping hellos to the computer
I love what I said and what I wanted fr u
Can't u make it go away?

The roach cannon will survive.

Is it true what they say about lizards are just snakes that aren't dreaming yet? and Why is my guitar so tiny and my oceans so wordy?
Don't u think soup club is a good band name if u also all play chess and it's summer
Bolden oldies
Deeply unsexy
Bad feng shue at Jim morrisons grave.
She eats like a god.
Ugh. Me and my narrative.

I love the sound of one play
Crumbling
I am unloved too and it is so delicate and warped in love too
Can't u make me go away?

People sure do get generous when they're truly evil

Alive People

Reminds me a lot of Court and Spark and Ladies of the Canyon era Joni. The synths and vocal chops of Kleinmeister, but the solitude of Rendezvous with Rama. I find it easy to describe in terms of other things but hard to describe the emotions that it makes me feel! These summer-y odes to that seem to be directed to a teenage New Englander really resonate with me, an almost not-teenage New Englander, two decades later, but I think anyone could see themselves in these songs! mickyfitz808
