No Sheep

Heavy on my eyes
Buried deep inside
That tiger pit created by my own brain
No matter what I do
It's nipping at my shoes
It's gonna catch up to me every time
I don't sleep, I don't sleep, I don't sleep, I don't sleep
I don't sleep, I don't sleep, I don't sleep, I don't sleep
Low supply, high demand
Keeps coffee shops open
We can't go without but
Dammit, we're gonna try
An unconscious frozen state
Or a successful date
And doing it with your boss
Makes you a whore
I don't sleep, I don't sleep, I don't sleep, I don't sleep
I don't sleep, I don't sleep, I don't sleep, I don't sleep
Been awake for 30 hours, going on 31
I'm feeling logic start to crumble
My handwriting looks just like an earthquake hit this house
I'll be drooling on the keyboard when I wake up
I don't sleep, I don't sleep, I don't sleep, I don't sleep
I don't sleep, I don't sleep, I don't sleep, I don't sleep
I don't sleep, I don't sleep, I don't sleep, I don't sleep

I told my baby
She didn't deserve it
I don't know why she's stayed with me for so long
It was her birthday
I was working
But she told me you're here now, life goes on
I came here expecting a drama, baby
But this wouldn't fill a daytime slot
I hope they never make a movie about us
Cause they'd be hard-pressed for a plot
I wrecked the Hyundai
Early on a Sunday
That parked car came out of nowhere I swear
She was out past curfew
Her parents had a short fuse
I blamed myself but still she didn't care
I came here expecting a drama, baby
But this wouldn't fill a daytime slot
I hope they never make a movie about us
Cause they'd be hard-pressed for a plot
Movie boring
People snoring
Blood stains and brass knuckles
On the theater flooring
And it would be all our fault
I came here expecting a drama, baby
But this wouldn't fill a daytime slot
I hope they never make a movie about us
Cause they'd be hard-pressed for a plot

Come Out and Play

Pray for me, DDT
Drunk on muddy Listerine
Brush my teeth with Deute-
Roto-Rooter-Scooter-onomy
Play, come out and play, play
2nd time, do the crime
Press policing pantomime
Lock it up and swirl me and
twirl me to make a straighter line
Play, come out and play, play
Judge Judy, give me cooties
Sentence tastes so fruity-smoothie
Bailiff Baylor, Sheriff Taylor
Carry out your d-d-duty
Play, come out and play, play
Tin can, no hands
Splattin the spiders that stand
Scammin' the suckers who can't
Save me from my bogeyman
Play, come out and play, play

Good Old Days
03:14
|

You and me, I'd pick you up
Back when making out in your mom's car was love
Broken down, side of the road
We liked pushing things that were never going to go
We can't recall too well
When we ask ourselves
Were the good old days
Really all that great?
Friday night, I was your plus one
But when you saw him there then it was bottoms up
Hospital, I'll take care of you
You thought getting better was just having someone new
Lick your wounds
We can't recall too well
When we ask ourselves
Were the good old days
Really all that great?
We can't recall too well
When we ask ourselves
Were the good old days
Really all that great?
We can't recall too well
When we ask ourselves
Were the good old days
Really all that great?

If I'd never left you in Illinois, maybe
We'd be sipping coffee cups, feeling lazy
The smallest table in the store, where
frigid autumn sunlight finds your eyes
If I'd never left you in Illinois, possibly
We'd be hiking in the woods, trampling the botany
Runny nose, we'd still be close
Allergies couldn't make me let you go
Maybe I would be over you
Maybe there'd be another girl or two
If I'd just
let the idea of us
Run its course
If I'd never left you in Illinois, there's a chance
That I wouldn't see everything she is as a red flag
I'm waving my white flag before
I ever even take my fucking shot
If I'd never left you in Illinois, conceivably
I wouldn't assume that she is too pretty for me
Too impatient, or too jaded, or
Too stuck up or strung out or taken
Maybe I would be over you
Maybe there'd be another girl or two
If I'd just
let the idea of us
Run its course
Thinking 40 steps into the future
I forget it's my turn to make a move
I don't want any girl so I don't have to lose her
The way that I lost you
Thinking 40 steps into the future
I forget it's my turn to make a move
I don't want any girl so I don't have to lose her
The way that I lost you
Thinking 40 steps into the future
I forget it's my turn to make a move
I don't want any girl so I don't have to lose her
The way that I lost you

Des Plaines River Song
03:18
|

The Des Plaines is rising
Over Route 120
They said we'd still have school if
They could get the buses running
A short drink of water
From a hospital bed
It's only there for ruining
our commute every now and then
One Washington on the Delaware
Aboard his Rav4
Battened down the hatches
And tried to reach the other shore
Punched the gas, heard a splash
The engine sputtered
Through coffee on the windshield
You could almost hear him yelling
At the mouth, my excuses set me free
But downstream, tomorrow swallows me
Dad would always say
No one died from a little rain
As we treaded water in the bleachers
While the game got back underway
We only played five innings
Which is nowhere near nine
I'd throw in the towel
To go in and get dry
At the mouth, my excuses set me free
But downstream, tomorrow swallows me
At the mouth, my excuses set me free
But downstream, tomorrow swallows me
The Des Plaines is rising
Over Route 120
They said we'd still have school if
They could get the buses running
One Washington on the Delaware
Aboard his Rav4
Battened down the hatches
And tried to reach the other shore

Never Gonna Die
02:55
|
|||
No one ever dies of old age anymore
It's always heart disease or cancer or some righteous war
Or a needle of some powder meant to
Make the pain go away
Singers and entertainers just a few years my elder
Remind me once a day it seems life doesn't last forever
And that tightrope seems so thick
Until it doesn't anymore
And I know, we all gotta go
And I know, one day we'll all grow old
But we're never gonna die
Raking up leaves of my family tree
When somewhat disconcertingly, it occurred to me, perturbedly,
For most of the pile, the dates they were born and died
Is all I know
100 years from now when my time has past
Hope they remember something other than my headstone cast
And inspired by the living, join the story being written everyday
And I know, we all gotta go
And I know, one day we'll all grow old
But we're never gonna die
And I know, we all gotta go
And I know, one day we'll all grow old
But we're never gonna die

Misanthropic Old Man
03:29
|

Alex wants to join the Navy to pay for college
He doesn't wanna sink in debt for his whole life
He's keeping it afloat above
The underachieving loads of us
Who are in over our heads
Amy's been with her boyfriend for five years now
And after last night she wears a ring as proof
They've been in love since the first date
And I'm telling myself that it's ok
'Cause I'm happier alone but
I turn green
Watching my best friends fly past me
I just smile through my teeth
Because of my own insecurity
Cynical, difficult, I don't mean it
Self-defense inside this pen of doubt
Michael's writing problems on the dry erase board
He's shaping tomorrow's doctors and engineers
They call him Mr. Parker,
With his tie and expo marker
And his fucking health insurance
I turn green
Watching my best friends fly past me
I just smile through my teeth
Because of my own insecurity
Cynical, difficult, I don't mean it
Self-defense inside this pen of doubt
I'll admit, it's not fun for me to rain on your parade
I'm tired and empty, I don't have it in me to try
I don't want to be this misanthropic old man my whole life
I turn green
Watching my best friends fly past me
I just smile through my teeth
Because of my own insecurity
Cynical, difficult, I don't mean it
Self-defense inside this pen of doubt
