Saturdays Forever
02:44

My headboard
It was a door
It used to be a moveable barrier
To someone else’s house
But then it changed
But then it changed
My libertarian friend
He grew up poor
He used to be a liberal
Walking around barefoot with his hair in his face
But then he changed
But then he changed
Saturdays forever
Saturdays forever
Love of mine
I love you more
Than a coconut could love a soybean
Than a sloth could love a slow movie
And that won’t change
That won’t change
Saturdays forever
Saturdays forever
Saturdays forever
Saturdays forever

Mr. Scoot
02:46
|

Mr. Scoot was a vet
And he served in god’s own army
Defending the land that he loved
From a jerk
Who only acted like a jerk to someone else
Now what do you think, about that?
You can put your feet in the road
and place your blame on the cars
You can burn your house to the ground
and place your blame on the stars
I’m not here to help you find your way
But you might as well realize
That the only one hosing yourself is you
I’ll write a song, about a song
I’ve already written, years and years and years ago
I’ll write a tribute to my greatness
And I’ll call it my finest work
Now what do you think, about that?
You can put your feet in the road and
place your blame on the cars
You can burn your house to the ground
and place your blame on the stars
I’m not here to help you find your way
But you might as well realize
That the only one losing your keys is you
But you might as well realize
That the only one soiling your sheets is you
But you might as well realize
The only one fucking yourself is you

Good Man
01:57
|
|||
I’m not a good man
But I’m reliable in my faults
You can time them like a train
You can’t train them anytime
And I’ll turn this goddamn car around
And I’ll back it off a cliff
Out of spite and hopeless devotion
And I’ll kick your door until I knock it down
And I’ll stomp it till my legs fall off
Out of spite and hopeless devotion
Stomp
Stomp
Stomp Stomp
Stomp
I’m not a bad man
I lack the callous resolve
I’m all cold sweats and buckled knees
I’m all cold sweats and a pounding heart
And I’ll turn this idle threat around
And I’ll put it back away
Out of fear and hopeless devotion
Kick my own ass until I knock it down
And then I’d stomp on it if my legs moved that way
Out of fear and hopeless devotion
Stomp
Stomp
Stomp

Clicks and Knocks
05:07

Symphony of clicks and knocks
You've got the hardest part
You've got the indivisible lot in this life
I won't act like a gentleman
'Cause I aint no liar
I won't be your Casanova
When your house is on fire
Catastrophe of beats and sounds
You've got the hardest part
You've got the indivisible lot in this life
It is heard but it is rarely seen
Bring it up to a slow boil
So for once it is agreed
Don't you dare tell a soul
Don'tcha dig your heals in
Don'tcha dig your heals in
Don't be caught digging your own grave
It is not okay
There is no saving grace
I won't act like a gentleman
'Cause I aint no liar
I won't be your Casanova
When your house is on fire
I won't act like a gentleman
'Cause I aint no liar
I won't be your Casanova
When I'm spreading gasoline
I won't act like a gentleman
'Cause I aint no liar
I won't be your Casanova
When your house is on fire
I aint no liar
I aint no liar
I aint no liar
I aint no liar

Sweet Maya
03:14
|
|||
You can have your way
And I’ll have mine
And we’ll both get on like the end of times
Oh, My sweet Maya
We don’t have to fight
We can just shut up
And we’ll paint a pretty picture of what the other thinks
Oh, My sweet Maya
My sweet Maya
Where did the clouds come from?
My sweet Maya
Is that where was the sun born?
And my sweet Maya
If you should die today
My sweet Maya
Is that where you’ll go?
You live half your life
And I’ll live half of mine
And we’ll trade the rest in on a busted motor-home
Oh, My sweet Maya
We can tool around
We can get lost out there
And we’ll send back postcards in our own dead language
Oh, My sweet Maya
My sweet Maya
Where did the clouds come from?
My sweet Maya
Is that where was the sun born?
And my sweet Maya
If you should die today
My sweet Maya
Is that where you’ll go?

Anywhere But Utah
02:41
|

Turncoat you feel
Ecclesiastic
You fall like water
On the surface of the sun
It’s no matter
It’s no heartache
Outside of the patio
Beyond the bluffs
Scatter my ashes
Anywhere but Utah
Scatter my ashes
Anywhere but Utah
Sweetmeat will stop
Distracting
You scatter like broken
Glass roaches of the heart
I can’t be bothered
I can’t be tempted
Not with eternal life
Not with the cross
Scatter my ashes
Anywhere but Utah
Scatter my ashes
Anywhere but Utah

Faith Away
02:35
|
|||
Your god and you make an awkward team
That’s okay
It’s okay, its okay, it’s okay.
Your prophecies are shaking like your suburban stairs
And that’s alright
It’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright
The bible that you’re beating
Was made in China by slave labor
You lie to your kids about
History and the world
Because you got to feel right
You gotta do it on the cheap
Yeah, you have to fit in
You can faith away anything
All your sins, they all look the same
And that’s alright
It’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright
Some are ignored, the others yield beatings
What the fuck?
What kind of hell are you selling?
The cross that you’re wearing
Is covered in blood diamonds
I can’t help but wonder
How much your vanity costs in lives.
Because you got to feel right
You gotta do it on the cheap
Yeah, you have to fit in
You can faith away anything

You’re a full time asshole
And an old-school bastard
You’re a full time asshole
And an old-school bastard
Red Rover, Range Rover
Send yourself over a cliff
You’re a low rent monster
And a vegan cannibal
You’re a low rent monster
And a vegan cannibal
Red Rover, Range Rover
Send yourself over a cliff
Red Rover, Range Rover
Send yourself into the sea
Lousy dictator
And lapsing Christian soldier
A lousy dictator
And lapsing Christian soldier
Red Rover, Range Rover
Send yourself over a cliff
Red Rover, Range Rover
Send yourself into the sea
Red Rover, Range Rover
Send yourself below the waves

Little Rabbit
02:34
|

Hey there little rabbit
I want to talk to you
I want to tell you how to live
Like proper rabbits do
Hey there naked rabbit
You need to get a suit like me
Keep running around in just your fur
And someone's liable to see
We can't have that
We can't have that
We can't have that going on
Hey there little rabbit
You need to get big like me
You need to be able to tell all the little rabbits
Going to throw them in the sea
Hey there big rabbit
Shut your fucking mouth
You're hanging out in my briar patch
Where all my friends can see
We can't have that
We can't have you
We can't let you get away

We bathed outside in a washtub
One day the Mormons came to pray
We ate our meals around a cable spool
One night the hearth tore my toe open
and there were fights
guns, blood and teeth
you both wore the scars
For the rest of your days
there were fights
guns, blood and teeth
Plastic cars on cinderblock
One day my sister ran away
I chewed through bone when the chicken was gone
One night the creek washed the bridge away
and there were fights
guns, blood and teeth
you both wore the scars
For the rest of your days
and there were fights
guns, blood and teeth
you both wore the scars
For the rest of your days
there were fights
guns, blood and teeth
It's hard to say
What we hit
When we tried to fly
But you can see its wounds
Plain as day when we stop trying
Mom and Dad never stopped drinking
One day Dad nearly killed us all
Two wheels in a ravine, driver’s door open
One night Mom drove us away

Tonight Will Be Fine
04:24
|
|||
Sometimes I find I get to thinking of the past.
When we swore to each other then that our love would surely last.
You kept right on loving, I went on a fast,
Now I am too thin and your love is too vast.
But I know from your eyes
And I know from your smile
That tonight will be fine,
Will be fine, will be fine, will be fine
For a while.
I choose the rooms that I live in with care,
The windows are small and the walls are bare,
There's only one bed, there's only one chair;
I listen all night for your step on the stair.
But I know from your eyes
And I know from your smile
That tonight will be fine,
Will be fine, will be fine, will be fine
For a while.
Sometimes I see her undressing for me,
She's the soft naked lady love meant her to be
And she's moving her body so brave and so free.
If I've got to remember that's a fine memory.
And I know from her eyes
And I know from her smile
That tonight will be fine,
Will be fine, will be fine, will be fine
For a while
