Dirty Basement
03:06
|

Your brother's dirty basement apartment's
Where we found that dirty stash
Hidden in the ceiling
Gave me that dirty feeling
And in the car we threw it out
Like streamers on New Year's Eve
There's no rewind
You can't unfind
Saw all that there was to see
Your brother never mentioned
Anything he thought we might've stole
It wasn't hard to find it
Where he tried to hide it
The evidence is long destroyed
No one would ever believe it anyway
What can I say
Saw all that there was to see

Passenger Side
03:23
|

She painted shadows
On the reflection of her eyes
They're open wide
But mine are on the road
And that's how I learned to drive
From the passenger side
And I won't let go
Who was in control
Get me outa here
Far away
She wrote a message
In red lipstick before she left him behind
She hit the gas
He grabbed the hood and he held on fast
To the passenger side
And he won't let go
Who was in control
Get me outa here
Far away

Lonesome Planets
03:24
|
|||
You sleep in separate beds
On separate sides of town
Your kids are lonesome planets
That rotate around
Taking their turns
In the attic of your house
Storing some shit before they throw it out
It's piling up
There's no room to walk
Tell me how much of my life
Can fit in a fucking box
The couch it folded flat
In between careers
It hasn't folded back now for so many years
Just changing hands
More often than the sheets
Changing me
You know how fish don't grow larger than their tanks
Well I feel that way too
Doomed to never outgrow this bedroom

All Grown Up
02:21
|

Sorry man I can't go to the show
You go ahead, and I'll stay in with my girl
Keep her company
I used to hang with my friends and be out all night
But shit's getting real, and I gotta do what's right
She's five months pregnant, I'm five months sober
I don't know how I'm gonna make it through October
But that's what you do when you're all grown up
And I'm all grown up
Make all my plans in advance and do what I can
Maybe even trade that old car for a minivan
What were my goals?
I don't even remember
Seems like I blinked and it's already December
Spent a lot of time thinking about
What it was like when I was growing up
Now I get to share it with someone new
And I'm glad I get to share it with you
Cause that's what you do when you're all grown up
And I'm all grown up

Rad Summer
04:34
|
|||
There they go
Another pointless late night argument
Fueled by drugs
These weekends feel like they will never end
Billy's on the couch
Hangin' with suburban teenage nervous wrecks
He's old and burnt
He used the toaster to light his cigarettes
Something better will come along I guess
And if it doesn't we'll just pretend
We've done nothing here that we'll regret
What a rad summer
The bitch next door
You know she calls the cops like almost every night
They're gone again
By this time it's already turned daylight
The party's out
If they haven't left than they're heading for the door
This shit I smoked
Has got me sideways I can't get off the floor
Stay with me tonight on the floor
Sleep til 2 again so what
Shift don't start til 4
Stuck in this unending haze
Feels like eternity
I'll give it all up soon I swear
Let me keep this memory

Creep in Khaki Pants
03:35
|
|||
Peeking through a pile of screens
And old computers from the 80's
There's a creep in khaki pants
Buried in mountains of junk
Soldering and smoking hundreds
Scaring customers away
He's turned himself into a prop
Buried in all of his junk
Buried all alone
Being next door I'd stop in
I should've realized he was crazy
He stopped paying all his bills
One by one
They shut off utilities
First he's cracking jokes and bumming cigarettes
And next thing he ain't leavin
He used to stay for an hour or so
But now he's hangin round until the evening
Guess he's got no place to go
The lights are out Apartment's just for sleeping
The wagon came took him away
Expenses paid padded vacation
Guess that's just where he belongs
But what'll they do with his junk
And who'll care when he's gone

Nylon
02:15
|

I pull away
At the black sheer
And it splits apart the night sky
When the lightning strikes
Thin pieces of you
Come to the surface
And you smile so warm
As I destroy it for enjoyment
Well it's morning now
As you stare me down
Middle of the street
We repeat that goodbye
And you wait
For something more than I give
But there won't be more than this

Freakin' Me Out
03:03
|
|||
I'm sorry for pushing you off the couch
And all the blood you lost that night
Don't believe I ever got the apology right
Like a dream it was all coming back to me
It's so late all this is freakin' me out
Hypnotized and snowblind
It's all I can think about
So here we are
Back in the E.R.
What you wanna do
When they're through with you
The needle pulled you all back together
I watched it like a work of art
Wondering how we could have ever grown so far apart
Grab your things you can crash back at my place
Morning I can drive you home
I don't mind
You'd do the same for me

A Pile of Rocks
03:12
|
|||
Every word you said
Is weighing down my head
Staring out beyond the loading docks
There's an empty lot and a pile of rocks
And I'm wondering how it came to be there
What was it before it was leveled and obscured
One column stands among the debris
Like a middle finger pointed at me
And I'm pacing round to keep from screamin'
I'm outside waiting for you
Trying to make sense of this whole mess
Words weigh heavy like a pile of rocks
Buried in them wondering if it ever stops
But it won't
Well things could be so much worse
In the center of the universe at least it all revolves around us
Im outside waiting for you
Grab the keys and take me home
