bodies=tools 03:40
those words you said cut right to the bone i probably should have known beneath the surface there was marrow floating dead and cold you said we’d use our minds dream up things to do make our bodies do them because bodies are our tools it was the best day i’ve ever known and i went to the park all alone beneath the swing set there was marrow floating dead and cold

old friend 01:41
hello and welcome to summer have you met my brother? he currently takes medication to help him make peace with the genius inside him you are a curious kind old friend of mine so pass me that bottle then pass me a song we've been through so much together has it really been that long? hey meet me in the aisle we'll talk about Sonic Youth did you know the Beatles were talking to you when they said all you need is love and that's what you'll find you are a curious kind old friend of mine

why i gotta be so scared? why i gotta be so far away from new? why you gotta be so sweet? why you gotta be so recently alone? and somewhere in my head the first time we ever me was just like in the movies maybe it’ll open up of course it will be exactly what it should and even though we both are damaged maybe we can wash away our sins and somewhere in your head the first time we ever me was just like in the movies

oh, give us this day fill it up with wheat bread and love songs oh, i found it today in a beaten up folk song primer it was written... 2,000 years ahead of my time and nothing else could have been written everyone sang it out and beat their hands on the ground it was ugly - but it forced him to listen oh honestly say all of our debts are forgiven oh, dream it today and maybe we will wake up in heaven it was written...

pellets 02:21
you know we all see god in strange places strange faces strange things i saw it tonight but i can’t call it that the word’s been ruined tonight it looked like trees and light and sage and this thought: i won’t live my life being unhappy i woke my son up and told him he thought that i was crazy i probably was he said only we will know about this and i agreed he said what if pac man was really just kissing those pellets? i laughed and said the ghosts were probably just trying to kiss him too i wish i could kiss a big pellet and turn everybody blue for just a minute

settle up now you’ve got a little time don’t be afraid it’s all been leading up to this walk on ahead i’ll be beside you i’ll be everywhere slowly unfurl our flag and wrap yourself up in it they told you it was a disease but we know better your attention goes where it needs to go
