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

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

hey girl i got a proposition today
if you will cut my hair i’ll teach you how to play
i'm gonna take you to the movies i promise i’ll behave
just sitting next to you is a treasure i’ll save
cuz i want you and i need you
and i’m waiting for you to want me too
hey girl i got a new song i wrote for you today
i’ll give it to you at the movies i’m not afraid
i wanna take you to the beach and climb up the waves
it’s ok if you’re not ready to kiss me - i’ll wait
cuz i want you and i need you
and it’s crazy that you want me too

folk song primer
03:44
|

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

walk on ahead

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
