Winter St.
03:49
|

I was standing on the corner
With your suitcase on my shoulder
And some fucking pigeons looking at me
You were looking nervous
Holding up your phone for service
"Great Again" hat-wearer riding for free
Sing a sunny downtown song
Not what you really think of me
Sing a sunny downtown song
Then I'll walk you down to Winter Street
Big blue bus lies in the station
Don't leave me in preparation
Flood my ears with violence, no plz
With the polyester clouds
And the teardrops raining down
Cause you felt like when you wanted to leave

Vulture
02:30
|

We don't need no culture
Staring down the line
I'm breathing til you burn me
Fuck death it don't deserve me
Hey, a little red silver
Goes a long way in the South
You degenerate you drive so fucking bad
Hanging down in Vulture
Oh, the way you cried
Blurs and hands and matches
Call your bullshit magic

Pretty Garbage
03:19

Who are these awful people?
Who have they come to see?
Elijah's in the kitchen
You can't stay here watching the tv
Pretty garbage
On the street
Pretty garbage
Pretty things for you to eat
Pretty garbage
On the ground
Pretty garbage
All around
He'll still you with his silence
She'll cut you with a stare
Intimidating you with tales of drunken nights on the balcony
Get me out
No we won't last long

No Stars
04:36
|
|||
Sleep easy, we got a ways to go
Nobody, skin and bones and broke
I like you, that doesn't mean a thing
We're on top, swoop down with clip-on wings
I could almost breathe
Fill my lungs with dreams
Of a brighter city summer
Oh the clouds they part
To the way we sort
Of dance around each other
But I still can't see stars
My bargain it stands the test of time
You like me, that don't get spit to shine
Oh, where did they go?
Where did we hide them away?

Bitter Blue
03:23
|
|||
What do you feel like tonight?
Look how all the streets are lit up
And nothing, nothing brings me down
The rain is filling up your shoes
Describe yourself as "bible-proof"
Cause nothing, nothing brings you down
So you say
It's lame you get so bitter blue
They're always making fun of you
You do some other weird shit too
Get over yourself

Dryer

Tommy was lucky
Cause he worked with his hands
While you been walking out
Where the day don't end
I had an old friend
I locked him in the dryer
He swallowed up the air in the room when he got tired
I'll let you down
Cause I heard you at the gate
With the fireworks display
Step into the light of the subway
Decay and you soak through
Sometimes you need a parasite
A day they promise you
With guarantees to sterilize you
Do you promise to be borderline?
I promise to be borderline

Cobweb Corners
03:56
|
|||
I'm just walking along
The way you showed me
My head's up in a fog
I'm just humming a song
You been looking for Subarus all day
Whose head's bobbing along
The lake so foamy?
My head's up in the clouds
I'm just humming aloud
You keep ripping the telephone away
Birds of prey, know the way home
They cobweb corners with me after everything
Do you know what a human's supposed to do?
Take your boots off and try
To fold the paper
Keep on walking along
I'm just humming a song
You flip over policeman every day

Old House
03:56
|
|||
I'm gonna wait, appreciate
You've never been the focus
Of anything, but fear, disdain
And now you're talking showbiz
Gotta forget the hopeless cases
Just walk 'em back on down to the old house
I've never been back there
It's why I'm still alive
Have you ever been back there?
Made it out alive

Denver
03:59
|
|||
Just let me fix my head, my god
Is there a thing you can't mix with the moonlight babe?
Carry away, my love is gone
If you just look you can watch it get tossed on the ocean rocks
One of these days
We'll get so mad
Out of hand
Endlessly
Pull away from me
Once in awhile you speak to me
And do you miss all the rain that gathers on lonely streets?
I dream
Wake up
Wanting to know you
|

The City
03:44
|
|||
Scramble away from your sinking hometown
Is there a soul you like?
Sleep with the birds and mess your life up
Leaving the line of sight
I'm not coming back for you
You're yelling over everything
Come up to the city
Now
Pull on the plane we're down on black ice
Yeah, you can try but don't
