Cool Song (Smells Good)

i've gotta wake up
but i just flip flop
and i need a haircut
sink ships with something
like tulips and pumpkins
and i wonder how this day has been and how it's going to be
and i sing along to this shower song it's where my mouth belongs
and if i sucked, "me and you" would just be "me"
and all the songs i sing sound like shower songs when sung along to
i wanna stay up
but my eyelids just flip flop
you give me hiccups
your curled lips are something
like tulips and pumpkins
yeah-ish

The Arrest!

i was held up by the air conditioner's breath
i was held up by the air conditioner's breath
i was held up by the air conditioner's breath
i was held up by the air conditioner's breath
unencumbered private lives are buried in the underground
the legs of the weather encapsulate the city ground
look out, it's snowing and there's goosebumps raining down your neck
it's snowing and there's goosebumps raining down your arms
it's snowing and there's goosebumps raining down your legs
it's snowing and i think i'm drowning in your head
in the other room they're having fun
and you wonder if you're the only one
there are quiet answers filling in the blanks with a hungry sound
look out, it's snowing and there's goosebumps raining down your neck
arrested by the air conditioner's breath
you're happy by the words that somebody said
and you're happy by the words that somebody said

surrender all your clothes
let’s team up against the world
say the ballerinas on the street
they try to count the ways
metal bellows down a homemade canyon
metal washes up outside the door
flowers have parades along the shore
collecting all the waves collecting all the waves
i don’t have to be with this life no more
there’s a damsel in a white dress
with mischief as a dance card
a handsome man with a heart
he wonders how she tastes
there’s a baby taking care of pet
a smile lives inside his head
a joy is waiting to move out
to do what beauty says riding on the waves
a pizza takes place instead of me
a murder can take place instead of me
a haircut can take place instead of me
pave the floor with daffodils
the skill of touch is on the floor
the earth is round but there is more
there is more and there is more
you’re in a constant state of who am i

Everyone and Everyone

everyone can't do what others can
i rant about the burdens of the soccer moms
but only with the lights on
i do i do i do
i like this girl when she's upside down
being awake with her never lets me down
like music from the underground
it's good it's good it's good
charlie brown proclaimed that prostitution's in again
in a message to his mother
looking for ways of letting go of shame
oh who could have this body anyway
i only used it as a visual aid
my left boob is the best in town
taking care of heartaches
classified as a lovely shade of brown
funny little animals
processed on a funny dirty plate
going through the process
it kills it kills it kills
i can't do what other's can
i'm just blessed with my own blunders
and you could kiss me before my lights go out again

Kitchen Crumbs

it's okay i've had enough
in this kitchen of crumbs
where's the reservation for the party of one
if i look like hell then you're a bad day in heaven
luck becomes a lady in my mind
you've become an oasis on my skin
look how i am i am fine
i'm alright i'm alright i'm alright
but who do i have to blow to get here
why do i have to be to get here
oh oasis
become a pretty picture from the inside out
now i have to kiss you on your ragamuffin mouth
look how you are you are alright
you are fine you are fine you are fine
but who do i have to blow to get here
why do i have to be to get here
when do you have to see to get here
how was i supposed to know to get here
why do i have to be to get here
why do i have to be

i'm a shoddy box of digestibles at the equinox
and i stare at the light bright in the sky significantly
i point the pins to form "ooh i love you"
over and over like an easy crossword puzzle in the sky
i know everyone misses somebody
i know everyone misses someone exclusively
lemonade and lemon drops
i formed a bond with astronauts
and they said that from where they could see
when she holds hands with me that i'm damned lucky
so oh breathe in and ah breathe out
i kissed her on the lips and filled the gods with jealousy
i'm amazed by your strange taste
if i'm an idiot kid then you're a dish of paste
it's six a.m. when i speak to you
i see the whole wide world reflecting off your face, oh yeah
i know everyone misses somebody
i know everyone misses someone exclusively
