Pizza Shop Abuse
05:19

Remember when we had cars?
We lived to go to bars
In the 90's everyone was in a band
Everyone had an 80's van
It was nothing to drive to Buffalo
Goin' to some dive to play a show
I got a job to rock the pizza shop harder than you

Shut Up and Get Out
04:58
|

My style is asking questions of all my genuflections
I kneel and Cassidy to all your reflections
contemplate my translation with respect
I don't waste words or give them neglect
Children are planned, not remorsed
you want a man, you want a new course
Bless me father, for I have sinned
there is no blessing that doesn't come from within
prove it to me that it's so important
we'll all avoid rigormortis
What were we fighting about
when you told me to shut up and get out

Low Bridge
02:06
|

Pick up your dead feet and ask them politely
if they'll cross the next ravine and get to the other side
Low bridge, yeah, everybody get down
Low bridge, yeah, we're gonna rule this town

Lilac Tree
04:48
|
|||
There's a scent in the air with the streetlights tonight
even stronger than dawn breaking up our long fight
there's a sound that hums under the coy dogs and tires
every ear in each bed strains for hissing white fires
'cause you taste like the smell of a lilac tree
and I won't understand why you weren't meant for me

Big Britches
04:26
|
|||
I'm all around folks getting better
I'm feeling worse getting deeper
into the sound of this next verse
meditating on confusion, letting the devil do his worst
and I can't give up until it's rehearsed
'cause I feel like a hearse carrying the weight
of a coffin filled with forgetfulness
don't want to be a part of repeating the blunt edges
of progress
Everyday I try something harder
to make life worth a barter
trade it in for feeling helpless
help you got to give that's needless
Waiting for luck, the next fuck
something to sink my teeth in
Got a plan a mile wide
britches too big to hold it all inside

I don't wanna lose
I don't wanna win
Just wanna remember
where I've been
'Cause now I'm paralyzed from the waist up
accept my fate, drink the poison cup
paralyzed from the waist up
before I started I was flat out of luck

Hungry Ballerina

They eat green salad and they drink blood
how can you stay hungry when you've got it all?
|

8. |
||||
gonna sit right down in the middle of my chair
and watch the evening news in my underwear
then I'll get dressed and go for a drive
ask myself some question and tell myself some lies
I said, where's my baby?
I pretend I don't mind
'cause if yr' not here, then neither am I

Craps
04:36
|
|||
all the kids hangin' outside the mall
but they don't go in at all
eyeshadow and cigarettes leanin' against the wall
waitin' for Halloween to bring on the fall
Not nowhere is where I wanna be

Zombie Control
03:58
|
|||
Keep your homes and keep your loans
while these cities groan
the zombies move along
the night, the day, the dawn
You get what you paid for before you know it's wrong
You sing the song you prayed for when the radio gets
turned on
You live the dream you saved for long before you're gone
You dig the grave that dad got laid for
and the show must go on
