the air's filled with chatter so we pulled the windows tight we don't want any of this escaping into the night the lake's filled with matter where i pedaled with my dad i won't become a loafer some summers sparkle in your eye all you wanna do is run in the dark all i wanna do is chase after you you're just evidence of a misspent youth and i sing why yi yi yi yoh oh oh a mirror ball hangs from the corner strange pilots check their hair buds between my fingers and fall between the stairs
2.
let's let the scene die and fly out past the awful falafel malls and pick up the homeless baseballs and it's a great song as long as you can sing it are you swinging? for the fences our defence is near/beer for living here so pick up your eyes cuz he lies on the bases those kids and i back in time

Wooden Parts 02:11
thunder it cracks and we wail thunder it breaks the detail and all yr love cant keep me from you and i am right wooden parts break off in small rows wooden parts rest on these wooden parts break off in small rows and ionize the ones you like the best the value gets lost in resale caught up in knots lost in the mail your white gaze can keep me in view but i'm a liar

Airport Man 02:33
luck's got a ladle and it's far from my table and a look can get to my head sluts and fables and a nine to five day and i need me some of that bread oh when it calls to you you can't compete with your needs you tell 'em "I hope" i buy em out by the airport nowadays where the talk is cheap like mayonaisse and full of blind hope work's full of jerks and the bar's full of stars and i wander til i walk on my bones got a seed for my dreams and a pack on my back for the someday i can be alone oh when it sings to you don't be coy with the boys you tell 'em "i hope" i saw em out by the skate park yesterday where the lipstick tastes like lemonade she can be bold if night steals bright then black inks white and you sit by the light of your throne cuz it's day somewhere in this maze of lairs that you lamp and you stamp your home oh if i needed you i would bend knees saying please you know that i won't i ride em out by the railroad nowadays i got a new soul beat and a sour glaze stick in my coat
5.
Sparky 02:20
sparky that ain't your boy what are you doing here? could you wait a thousand years to blow smoke in your ears? sparky that ain't your boy what are you doing here? would you wait a thousand years for the prettiest girl in the world i'm just sitting on money that burning a hole i'm just looking to give this old dog a good home and i get high as the newspaper blows and i wanna sleep beneath your clothes and burn my name into the snow sparky that ain't your boy what are you doing here?

How I Came 03:04
elmer's glue on my turtleneck sleeve wiping my nose from the cold winter breeze i'm old enough now that i should know just what that means cracked an egg on my head and let the yolk run down all i heard was a deafening sound i'm old enough now i should've seen it coming around but i got you streets mapped in my veins i got you framing all my dreams but otherwise i believe in how i came purple city lighting up my eyes slept in the back of my older sister's ride i'm old enough now i wanna come back for the guys but i've got you streets mapped in my brain i've got you framing all my dreams but otherwise i believe in how i came

Dancing Days 03:02
a new mouth for bottle parades she grew out of of spelling her age only time could tell it to her and call upon and use her kinda kindly a week off a league on a legal summer so we can ride on some make out with miracle minds some lawn shout with powerless signs and i write it on the regular and call you on the semi but why whine? a week off a league on illegal summer sweet cans right on
8.
turn around sound out that you're never coming back are we all to be galled and call you crazy? you're callin me a believer and you're never coming back i'm starting over again you could make loud sounds you could make me proud and follow that crowd to the city you got a reason to leave you're never comin back
9.
your calendar secrets are scraping the ceiling the seasons are peeling off the roads winter sometimes you know that i mean it when i say that i'm leaving the galloping meanings won't be alone next year this time always could see it my home's smiling decline no place in the sea, boys could corrode one thing inside and i'm never gonna be back home you got it with feeling you're hanging and peering your houses are screaming their notes and holes for our goodbyes we won't be back
10.
seven years since high school trying to change my situation trying to explain to you... i never lost touch without growing old
