Lights Out 03:39
Its time to put the kids to bed To snuff the light in their head It’s time to put them down We do not mess around We cook your meals We haul your trash We drive your ambulance We guard you while you sleep You are an amputee Do not fuck with us Whittling on the farm We know our way to Mars We know you noticed We’ll take back what is ours Whittling on the farm We know our way to Mars We know you noticed We’ll turn off all the lights Its time to put the kids to bed Your deadbeat politics Its time to take them out We do not mess around You farce you piggyback lard Your a waste of space Your waste of art But of all the things you are The cancer of our heart Do not fuck with us Whittling on the farm We know our way to Mars We know you noticed We’ll take back what is ours Whittling on the farm We know our way to Mars We know you noticed We’ll turn off all the lights Somewhere I’m romancing We left the runts alone to die in a ditch To burn like a witch and come back and haunt us Well carry the ghost of Tom with us On Mars We’re taking off We’re taking off and landing On Mars We’re taking off We’re taking off and landing

Seafoam 03:11
My sweet Milly Your cold pale breast Have got me a mess And there is nothing I can do But sing to you And dream about the west My Moonbaby Your sea foam dress Has got me a mess And theres nothing I can do I can see right through You’re soaking wet and dead Your head is full of song Your body hums Swirling around my tongue I pulled you out of the lake I strummed your hair Right behind your ear Your head is full of song Your body hums Swirling around my tongue Your’e my one and only sweet nothing Your’e my love My Moonbaby

Ice Cream 03:39
1955 drinkin cherry sodas and ice Thinking about some fresh baked black and whites They didn't even notice the price Have you heard the lore before About the homicidal maniac At the Ice cream parlor Oh ya it’s true They say he’s just a regular dude Comic books and horror flicks All taught us that antagonists are crazy and insane A lunatic with an evil plot Or a righteous man who thinks he’s not villain Oh ya he’s deranged Somehow I don't know how They didn't even notice the cow Drinking drinking Drinking drinking it up They didn't even notice the sound Have you heard the lore before About the homicidal maniac At the Ice cream parlor Oh ya it’s true They say he’s just a regular dude 1955 the milk it kept on coming Oh galore He slayed them with is his hips swinging side to side The soda jerk he sold them on every line Have you heard the lore before About the homicidal maniac At the Ice cream parlor Oh ya it’s true They say he’s just a regular dude He’s on the loose He’s on the loose

You jumped right out of the airplane Without your chute It’s too late to turn back now dude I’m down all day But I’m up all night And I hear there’s a real big one You all call the sun Out out of the blue You can jump right in Or you can hug the walls You can be a star If you wanna fall I’m down all day But I’m up all night And I hear there’s a real big one You all call the sun Out out of the blue Out out of the blue You jumped right out of the airplane Without your chute It’s too late to turn back now dude

Stars and truth align Tell me why you live in denial I don’t want to feel good In spite when we die Eloquence has come and arrived Now seduce us with your silver tongues While I calculate infinity and arrive In the shape and conclusion of what you think Time knew you would But I knew you could Stars drip down from the sky Firing up the clouds till their Pink and burnt inside Set me on fire and just let me burn wild Like a witch on a trial Eloquence has come and arrived Now seduce us with your silver tongues While I calculate infinity and arrive In the shape and conclusion of what you think Time knew you would But I knew you could

The Glooming 03:23
When the sun goes down and it hits the ground The sky follows The sky falls Throughout the town and without a sound They leave us hollow They’re gone I can’t help it if it’s all A mirage A mirage Head up I’m just living Like a kid in hell It’s called being an adult ya When the aliens come and they’ve had their fun They’ll leave the money Dripping with honey On the night stand for us Why am I so glum? Why am I so Why am I so glum? I can’t help it if it’s all A mirage A mirage Head up I’m just living Like a kid in hell It’s called being an adult ya What will the water reflect when sky is gone Into the shadow Into the shadow What will the water reflect when sky is gone Into the shadow Into the shadow I can’t help it if it’s all A mirage A mirage And I can’t help it If it’s all And I can’t help it If it’s all A mirage

Everyone loves the radio but What about the tracks that get cut? Kicking stones with my head in my coat and Lookin up at the sun and wondering where's all the fun I don’t know about them or us I don't think I'm going to get on that bus I’m on my own Skipping school in the forest now Little boy run Back home now Before the police catch and bag you Everyone goes tit for tat But nobody knows which one they are at I don’t know where the days all go We’re living under the sun We’re living under the gun I’m on my own Skipping school in the forest now Little boy run Back home now Before the police catch and bag you They’ll chew you up and eat your laughter out Close your eyes and hold your breathe The things that lurk beneath the bed Close your eyes and don’t you flinch They drool and bite and poke and pinch Close your eyes and don’t you peek Close your eyes and don’t you peek I’m on my own Skipping school in the forest now Little boy run Back home now Before the police catch and bag you They’ll chew you up and eat your laughter They'll spit you out and ship you off to the zoo Everyone loves the radio but What about the kids that get cut?

Glamour Puss 02:34
You think you’re so damn cool Well your not Your just a punk On his first day of school With your new haircut And fancy shoes Well I bet your dad he thinks your a geek And your mom she tells her friends your a freak I'm drifting off to outer space Skipping rocks Put my face on the cover Of a rock n roll magazine Slacker cool on the last week of school Smoking cigarettes in the bathroom Under neon lights I’m making out with her And I don’t even care Or give a fuck Her lipstick was smeared Before she got on the bus I'm drifting off to outer space Skipping rocks Put my face on the cover Of a rock n roll magazine So I am stuck in summer school While my friends stole a bus Drove it off and crashed into the riverbank Riverbank I'm drifting off to outer space Skipping rocks Put my face on the cover Of a rock n roll magazine I'm drifting off to outer space Skipping rocks Put my face on the cover Of a rock n roll magazine

Mosquitos and flies All buzz between the stars and swamps tonight Hoping for blood and holding out for glory in the sun Well color them red When the tides come in The bodies are washing ashore Mosquitos and flies Philosophers are devils and demons alike Trying to survive Hiding in the dead end dark of the night Well color them red When the mob finds out The pitchforks and torches will light Why the hell didn’t we go Cause when the heavens eat the gloom of today You’ll know I was there Mosquitos and flies All buzz around the moat of the castle tonight Thirsting for blood and vengeance from the one who lives above Well color him red When the tides come in They’re burning his witches alive Why the hell didn’t we go Cause when the heavens eat the gloom of today You’ll know I was there Alligators feeding on my corpse While the vultures ride the thermals To the top of the fucking food chain Im here to stay Forever in the swamp Im here to stay Forever Forever Forever in the sun

I know a girl who Who has red hair Oh god she loved me And I loved her hair I’ll keep on sifting through the memories Of old carbon you Hoping I don’t go and forget you So so I’ll keep dreaming So once again I don’t know if I’m living I can’t remember when my head split It cracked on the pavement and the memory is adrift Ill keep on floating through the cosmos My astronaut suit is punctured and bruised I’m just here swinging On a hammock in space Thats hanging from planets without any names And off in the distance Im relaxing in my hospital bed I cant remember how the hell I got here I’m still trying to figure out where is here? I’ll keep on sifting through the memories Retrieve and reprieve them I’m floating away I’m just here swinging On a hammock in space Thats hanging from planets without any names And off in the distance Im relaxing in my hospital bed So so I’m still dreaming So once again I know It’s better then living In my head
