AURORA GORAPHOBIA
it's a cough spit in the street where you move your feet
nobody covers their mouths when they die outside
The trees are all shriveled and hoisted up with planks
nobody's too quick to give thanks
and it's always crowded outside
it's always crowded outside
I'm supposed to keep a stiff upper lip if they look at me the wrong way
'cause everybody writes their very own destiny- right?
if this is where i'm supposed to die you can kill me today
or drop me off somewhere in the country
where it's never crowded outside
Where it's never crowded outside
because it feels like somebody is shaking my cage
somebody's always banging at the door
it's not your obvious kind of rage
it's undertones- not so subtle undertones
it's undertones- not so subtle undertones

SEAT'S TAKEN
I am just walkin' down the street
strangers are looking at me
yo maybe i'm too white
hey what you gawking' for
strangers still got some more
yo maybe i'm too right
say what you will about me
say what you will
alley cat's walkin' my way
hey baby not today
yo maybe i'm too right
hey what you gawkin' for
strangers still got some more
yo maybe i'm too white
say what you will about me
say what you will

SAVOIR FAIRE
it's good it's good good- good for you
i'm not quite sold on the value
it's grown local but what do the locals care
burn the big names savoir faire
Send it back now
send it back woh
send it back now
send it back woh
it looks cheap but the quality is there
just a big brown box but what is in there
it's not polite to order off the menu
don't tell me what to do now- no thank you
Send it back now
send it back woh
send it back now
send it back woh
how does it reflect on you
when you're words don't seem to mean anything
we could take a chance on a few
but you don't l listen anyway
send it away

CURIOUS EMOTION
walking' along
lookin' at me
staring me way
at least she seems to be
what should i care
i have no need
i have no time
no time indeed
for Love
stayin' inline
stain' on path
a move to something good
i have no reason
to step out of line
to take any time
to achieve a hire ground is social treason
Love
but either way i'm gonna keep on dreaming
i'm staying in tune with my surroundings
i only exert myself within my boundaries
i'm only afraid of what could be made
something bigger than i can fathom
but i have no need
for anything
for anything but Love

AUDITORY HALLUCINATIONS
the gun on my hip the gun on my hip the gun it keeps talking to me
the gun on my hip the gun on my hip the gun it keeps talking to me
every morn' the resurrection comes around at half past ten
knowing what i know when i move the stone i don't want to be born again
i know it's in my head most times but the din is all too loud
when i open my eyes with the cruel sunlight it's like waking up in a crowd
the gun on my hip the gun on my hip the gun it keeps talking to me
the gun on my hip the gun on my hip the gun it keeps talking to me
Franny May was my favorite girl the fairest you'd ever seen
she made me feel like the richest man while keeping my hands clean
the day she drowned i didn't have the breath to pull my girl back up
and the house of the holy was foreclosed upon and replaced with a second hand slum
the gun on my hip the gun on my hip the gun it keeps talking to me
the gun on my hip the gun on my hip the gun it keeps talking to me
Me and my friend have lots of talks about politics life and god
and He always gives me such good advice so i keep him right by my side
our conversations last for hours sometimes and they're never about right or wrong
but the more we talk the more i think we've been doing a death march all along
the gun on my hip the gun on my hip the gun it keeps talking to me
the gun on my hip the gun on my hip the gun it keeps talking to me
the gun on my hip the gun on my hip the gun it keeps talking to me
the gun on my hip the gun on my hip the gun says, "I'm gonna set you free"

Dry Moat
I guess i'll have to wait
I guess I'll have to wait
her face wet she moaned out loud
it was an awful sound
what an annoying sound
i didn't really need her around
and it's so hard when she might turn violent
pull the hubris from my crown
it's easier just to let her have me
it's kind of nice to have a girl around
yeah she crawled to me
and she climbed on me
the girl usurped my thrown
she was a legacy of love to me
a mile stone not unknown
looking up at her read bob hairdo
both our jaws are hanging slack
i could see my name on the handle
and the blade shining in her back
she called herself liberated
i knew that was too far from the truth
it's sleazy but i didn't stop it
fare blood drawn to hold old news
old news
healthy body
healthy mind
finish the bottle
take her from behind
she had gained weight steadily
as her home life fell apart
she kept reading yeah she kept writing
pouring booze on a broken heart
I knew that i couldn't help her
but god damn man
she cried so hard
she called herself liberated
and I don't have the energy at all
the woman has left me lonely
twilight on a broken castle wall
it's not my problem
my kingdom's already broken down
down to the ground
i don't have a queen no more
haunted by that horrifying sound
won't you ever just let it go
won't you ever just let it go

Home for the Holidays
what would you do
if i made you leave
what would you do if i made you leave everything
where would you go
if i made you bleed
like did me
the way you made me bleed
i don't think that you could handle it
i think that you would think i'm mean
i don't think that you could manage it
without your silicone, liquor and cream
it's always one more man to take the heat and feed you meat
while the kids sit
and watch tv
the house is a lease
the car is a lease
the couch is a lease
your name is a lease
you don't own responsibility
i don't think that you could handle it
i think that you would think i'm mean
i don't think that you could manage it
without your silicone, liquor and cream
claims it's a past life but plays the game the same
with no shame
no name
it's a "don't do what i do do as i say" style of parenting
always shifting the blame
you should take responsibility

Sacred Feminine/Neo Femenist
"i did the best i could"
"all men are evil and should not be trusted"
"when are you going start letting him pay for everything"
"stop trying to control me. You can't just control me just because you're a man. i'm in charge- now gimme your money"
"safety first children"
"stranger danger"
"emotionally and intellectually she has failed to evolve"
what you want is not love
you missed the beat
you skipped a beat
What you want is not love
i can't stand it
i can't stand it
i can't stand it
i can't stand it
i can't stand it

You're Not Meant for Me
you're trying to put some part of yourself inside of me
but it's not happening
i've tasted your kind before- your blood is syrupy
thick and sticky
like so many things it's good at first- but it makes me feel sick eventually
you're not meant for you
come over and keep me company
she said
i've already given up on so very much of me
i haven't got much left
come over and keep me company
to heal me
'cause i can't do it by myself anymore
I can't do it by myself anymore
you've got a quiet kind of beauty- that looks good
sitting next to me
but you're not meant for me
and i try to play fair
but there's a symphony of options
ever willing
to play just with me
you're not meant for me
you're not meant for me
come over and keep me company
i've already sacrificed so very much of me
i think i might be dead
come over and keep me company
to heal me
'cause i can't do it by myself anymore
come over and keep me company
i've already sacrificed so very much of me
i think i might be dead
come over and keep me company
to heal me
i can't do it by myself anymore
it's a different kind of tenderness
that you give to me
but you're not meant for me
I try to play fair
but theres a symphony of options
ever willing
to play just with me
you're not meant for me
you're not meant for me

Obsessive
it's old and unspoken
like a lock without a key
the magic is over this time
but i can't stop this feeling
every path i follow
leads me back to you
every broken with i swallow
leads me to the truth
overly focused
honing in on you
this notion may be bogus
but i can't stop this feeling
i know
you know
it was something incredible
bent steel
lost steam
this locomotive is careening
so far
far gone
far enough that you're love is lost
but i can't stop this feeling

Back to Vaudeville
your emotions have overwhelmed you
you're not making any sense
i'd tell you to act your age love
but i think it's probably best to save it for the stage
save it for the stage
the crowd can feel the energy coming off you
that's why they'll pay us to play
we've commandeered they're ears for our benefit
i think it's only fair we save it for the stage
save it for the stage
it ain't easy for anyone
so i won't pretend that i've got it so bad
but my wiring has come loose my love
and i fear this is all that i have
so one more time i'm gonna walk the line
and do what is in my blood
i'm going to penetrate the atmosphere
when the planets have aligned
i'm gonna poor my heart out right here
yes i am
i'm gonna poor my heart out right here
you know i will
i'm gonna poor my heart out right here
on the stage again
right here on the stage
