Distorted Ivory Coast
See the summer in the air tonight
Don't you know it's gonna work out
I feel down
So do I, and down
So do I, and down
So do I, and down
so do I

See you livin in the dead of day
The sky is burning.
Don't have much to say
So do I, in time
So do I, in time
so do I, it's beautiful, beautiful

Today Has Not Been a Goldmine
Lifeless bloodless
Today has not been a goldmine
A spark jump start leaping
into a leper's arms
Laughing on

Doombox
What's in store for the night life
It throws me through the table
Read books, fuck the night life
It drowned me off the deep end

Distortion never undone
you know you know
You don't stop every night
Destruction livin uptown
you know you know
You don't stop nighty night

Oh oh oh oh oh!

First you said good bye
Then I said goodbye
Then I thought I might
throw you to your grave

Mayor of Olympia
Hey! The clouds are laughing over head
With voices singing in my brain
Tidal waves, and model trains
Trailer trucks and smoking stacks
Rising up from blackened brick
bricks are heavy words are thick
Bricks are heavy words aren't anything

Hey! You better walk away this path
Is the tiger's zip code singing gnats
The words are tumbling out like dice

I'm the mayor of Olympia
I'm the mayor of Olympia
I'm the king of the fallen tree
Don't you waste your time
with all this atmosphere
I can hardly breath

Hey! Feelings bruised but I feel fine
Truly there's no compromise
When I'm singing what say you?
"He thinks he's clever, yes I do!"

Lalala the walking dead
Thought is heavy words are lead
Fire as a metaphor
Turtles crossing street to shore
They can hardly see
La da ta la ta da


Rafts on Fire
All the strength of your failures
on the weight of your back
Made a canoe out of regret.
Made sure the fire never died
Even if you burned dried leaves?
Don't let it die?
even if you killed my dreams?
let it die

If you ever think it's dead (watermelon)
Re-polish up and retread like I said
If you ever think it's dead it's not
I swear to god
You don't know how to feel

Kalifornia
Birds and bees shake the trees
And wolverines, make believe
Pleased to meet you
Oh, Patty Lou
Pleased to meet, greet, shed a tear

Will you gracefully be mine?
Or will you gracefully decline

Walking wind in a dust bowl
Creaking stairs, crowded floor
Fuzzy navels and OJ
On the shore, I want more
la di dah dah

Words make chemicals raised hairs
Tied up, let down, shot me bare

Summer rain comes in patches
Take a break while you can
Had a chew it was nasty
Bailing hay with my pappy

At The Tail End of Everything
At the tail end of everything
I see myself, growing useless everyday
bap buh bap buh

At the light end of everything
I see myself growing stronger day by day.
bap buh bap buh

Love can make you sad from way down low
Love can break your heart don't let it show

We fought on through the night
No one is useless in a fight

Love can make you sad from way down low
Love can rip your mind out don't let it show

LWB I noticed something about your eyes
There's a cold black something
about to rise yeah
And it feels like home
Dogs make sure you've grown
The sun

La duh la duh la duh tah
La duh la duh la dah

You're not the sun shine
You're not the moon light
(Whispered down)
the sun


Devastating
Devastating butterflies
Indonesian lullabies
Plates fell off the shelf
Smashed on the floor of the sea
Mother Nature lost her temper
Blamed it all on me.

Ashes and Graves The man who passed his own name
to his wife landed a child
And passed on burning his dead body
reduced to a flaky white
The question of the lottery system
wasn't enough to have him
Say those words, say four words
could God be fake?
Sprinkle my remains out in the lake.

The man who passed his dead name
to his wife branded a child
and pasteurized his cold house hold
so tender and so mild.
The cynic fucking talking to the
clinic shuffle waking
shoulders hunched
Staring down at the floor
Dreaming I'm a shark's tooth
on the shore

Puget sound
Don't drown
I'm brown

Goodbye, a dream, it seems has died
(wait)
Hold on, the dream it seems won't die

Reflektor
Let you go on your way tonight
Hearts are sinking
from your waves to night

See the sun it lights the moon
See the sun it's done

I like war and I love blood
I like crawling all around in mud

done
