Defiled, debased, debunked, and depraved
D plus for Mr. and Ms. Behave
We're given to love and all the above
And when you're defeated, you're really you
We're afraid to love; afraid to trust
And when we're defeated, we're really us

Soundcheck Song
02:42
|

This just in: Best New Music from mom
"It's lovely, but why does it have to sound so sad?"
PopMatters, do I matter to you?
Give it a chance, my subjects are romance and zipper blues
7.8, that's your fate
Good, bad, and ugly
Yearn for the moment when someone asks to hear the deep cuts
These are all the deep cuts
Consequence of Sound, I'm hanging around
Noisey, enjoy me
Strong 4 to a light 5
Pitchfork, I've arrived

It's Often Said
02:36
|

We've always known
Sucret suture
For surgery
Can you be so sure?
It's often said
Cage and Arquette
Bring out their dead
How are you and the one you're into?
You'd like to make love to
She'd love to make like to you too
And on it goes
Freewheel across time
Ask how to feel
Feel just fine
It's often said
Dafoe and Keitel
Tempt Christ on my watch
I'll never tell
How are you and the one you're into?
You'd like to make love to
She'd love to make like to you too

Still Jim Thome to Me
02:40
|

Goodbye to the big C
According to recent scans
And hell, that reminds me
You might not S-W-I-M
That's you might not "swim," maybe
Maybe just up to your shins, maybe
Useless trips to Ithaca and Syracuse
There's no such thing as Oneonta blues
Picked up a book colored blue and pink
Said, "She dies at the end and what comes before stinks"
We're 44 miles and change from Dover
Have you read Walker Percy's The Moviegoer?
What's this got to do with getting laid?
The code's in Morse and the painting is Kinkade
Well, everybody's talking about the new DH
But he's still Jim Thome to me

Members-Only Jacket
03:10
|

Wrote a note to S. Claus, my apologies
Dreamt of orange groves and tall-ass palm trees
Steal the teacher's answer key
Tropic of Key Largo, where the breeze blows
Plead the case, consider dual ideologies
In love with your professor of psychology
Quit the high school's tennis team
'Cause you forgot your racket, your members-only jacket

I'm Destroying Weekly
03:22
|

Took to killing ants with a magnifying glass
A beam from that ball of gas melted a thorax
I'm destroying weekly and you're obliged to know
Intentions meant to forebode
Tripping on a blade of grass face first into morning
She's fast asleep, I'm barely yawning
I'm destroying weekly and you're obliged to know
Intentions meant to forebode

Lovejoy's Daughter

1, 2, 3, 4
Keep my digits close, call my phone, and call it a hunch
Your paint-smeared smock looks as if René Magritte lost his lunch
Now let's say, Tuesday - what are your plans?
If you keep me on a short leash, I understand
I'll do all your chores, if you'll have me (for a moment)
Tried my luck at a love tester, it claimed I was a clam
So I exited that Fuddruckers not giving half a damn
It's alluring, the ignoring, to feel you reject
So keep me short leashed, I know what to expect
I'll do all your chores, if you'll have me (for a moment)

Forgot the Lure
04:21
|
|||
Set the treadmill on to 'slow'
Counter's stained with hot cocoa
Edge of town's vernacular
Sitting in the back, you were
Lazy by the summer, columbine l'hiver
Burden of Fort Sumner, never mine to bear
Now it's cold and commensurate
Celibate, too
CC the teeth and CEO, 'cause we know
Getting used to nine to five
Morning to midnight, dead to alive
Tackle box epicurean
Still you forgot the lure again
Lazy by the summer, columbine l'hiver
Burden of Fort Sumner, never mine to bear
Now it's cold and commensurate
Celibate, too
CC the teeth and CEO, 'cause we know
You'll never get away from this or me

About the House Quietly
07:03
|
|||
Never been a pretty crier, so I hope the news is good soon
You can nip this bullshit with a capital B right in the bud
Acumen that I admire, they made a permanent northpaw out of you
I hope this is up your avenue or in your ballpark
Worry's in my line of country and naturally the reason we're crepuscular
Bats that never rest
And it explains why
We move through the night softly
And about the house quietly
Doc, please give me
A reason not to cope with leaving
When I'm there, I swear, I'll take A Moveable Feast out east
Try to see what's in it that you had to've seen
Go back to my youth, prior to strife, we turn on NatGeo
We see old women, once little girls, and the perils of Chinese feet binding
What's the gown done to you? Doc, give this man a second to breathe
I heard over the phone unease
And it explains why
We move through the night softly
And about the house quietly
Doc, please give me
A reason not to cope with leaving
We move through the night softly
And about the house quietly
Doc, please give me
A reason not to think he's leaving

Trenchfoot entrenched in soot
Inhaled the stench of the sewer
Dilly dally deconstruct
Casualties, there could've been fewer
And nuance ate my homework
Subsequently threw it back up
Betty tries for a wall twerk
Fallen and can't get up
Heartbreak in absentia
Posthumous joie de vivre
Hip break, come on, who sent ya?
Your name's not on the guest list, so leave
And nuance ate my homework
Subsequently threw it back up
Betty tries for a wall twerk
Fallen and can't get up

No Peeking
03:18

Busy tooth on the fritz, oh goodness
My mood ring reads black, it's as black as death
If you can dream it, you can damn it to hell
If you're a resident of heaven, it's just as well
Here are all the rules:
You snooze, you lose
Blacktop's safe
And above all, no peeking
The other team builds a fort of snow
Be a good sport and accept the advice you haven't been seeking
Asthma attack due to the miasma
In this town, we donate plasma
Coach holds up, or rather, wields a bag; a duffle bag
Syllabus week, silly, buy you a drink
Here are all the rules:
You snooze, you lose
Blacktop's safe
And above all, no peeking
The other team builds a fort of snow
Be a good sport and accept the advice you haven't been seeking
