"Paper Shoes"

"Paper Shoes"


I fly
i soar
This I adore
And then like a locomotive
The sound of your sorrow comes.
I'm tired of the way it feels
I only apologized to you to make you feel better
But I think I've outgrown that horsehair sweater.
I'd rather be alone
You're bout as reliable as paper shoes in bad weathers,
But pain will roll off like water on feathers.
You'd fly,you'd soar
But then like a locomotive
The sound of your sorrow comes.
I'm tired of the way it feels
I only apologized to you to make you feel better
But I think I've outgrown that horsehair sweater.
I'd rather be on my own
You're bout as reliable as paper shoes in bad weathers,
But pain will roll off like water on feathers.

"Pardon Me"

"Pardon Me"


Pardon me while I burst
Pardon me while I burst
A decade ago, I never thought I would be
A twenty three on the verge of spontaneous combustion. Woe-is-me
But I guess that it comes with the territory
An ominous landscape of never-ending calamity
I need you to hear. I need you to see
That I have had all I can take
And exploding seems like a definite possibility

To me

So Pardon me while I burst into flames
I've had enough of the world, and its people's mindless games
So Pardon me while I burn, and rise above the flame
Pardon me, pardon me. I'll never be the same

Not, two days ago I was having a look in a book
And I saw a picture of a guy fried up above his knees
I said I can relate
Cause lately I've been thinking of combustication
As a welcomed vacation from
The burdens of the planet earth
Like gravity, hypocrisy, and the perils of being in 3-D
But thinking so much differently

Pardon me while I burst into flames
I've had enough of the world, and it's people's mindless games
Pardon me while I burn, and rise above the flame
Pardon me, pardon me. I'll never be the same

Never be the same...yeah

Pardon me while I burst into flames
Pardon me, pardon me, pardon me

So pardon me while I burst into flames
I've had enough of the world, and it's people's mindless games
So pardon me while I burn, and rise above the flame
Pardon me, pardon me. I'll never be the same
Pardon me, never be the same. Yeah

"Pendulous Threads"

"Pendulous Threads"


Mend this careless thread, it's gone askew.
(Thread on my sweater is pendulous, step back and pull it.
Watch it unravel faster than a speeding bullet)
Or pull and see how much we can undo.
(Thread on my sweater is pendulous, step back and pull it.
Watch it unravel faster than a speeding buller)
On a burning bridge, your options are minimal at best.
Depending on where you're standing
and how much breath is in your chest.
If it came down to it
would you high-tail home and hide?
Or dance on fire and enjoy the ride?
Mend this careless thread, it's gone askew.
(Thread on my sweater is pendulous, step back and pull it.
Watch it unravel faster than a speeding bullet!)
Or pull and see how much we can undo.
(Thread on my sweater is pendulous, step back and pull it.
Watch it unravel faster than a speeding bullet!)
At the heart of it all
that innermost, your fiery core
there;s an amassing armor
and it's building you into a bore.
Life's a match in a gas tank
don't ever mourn the ebbing tide
just dance on fire and enjoy the ride!
Hey!
Mend this careless thread, it's gone askew.
(Thread on my sweater is pendulous, step back and pull it.
Watch it unravel faster than a speeding bullet!)
Or pull and see how much we can undo.
(Thread on my sweater is pendulous, step back and pull it.
Watch it unravel faster than a speeding bullet!)

"Pillow Your Eyes"

"Pillow Your Eyes"


Viewed the scene on a black and white TV
Chose your words, "Hey mom I want to be..."
So, study hard. Your work became your cell
Don't you dare inhale, or you'll be damned to hell!
No!
Yes, back and in your prime and things are in a swirl
Solaced with your choice, out pops a baby girl!
Family now complete, and power's in your hands
You've won the greatest prize, it's time to take a stand
Sphincter freed last on your common throne
You think the kill weeds chompin' at your noodles flow
There's somethin about the herb, so fast, hypnotize
A ripened head change that'll pillow your eyes, yeah
pillow your eyes, pillow your eyes
Will you be the superman inflicting drastic change?
The power of your name has spanded out a boundless range
Will you meet the needs of a fast paced, awkward, life-span I call "we"?
Our trust is now within you. So by soul cries let it be
Pillow your eyes, pillow your eyes
Sphincter freed last on your common throne.
You think the kill weeds chompin' at your noodles flow
There's somethin about the herb, so fast, hypnotize
A ripened head change that'll pillow your eyes, yeah
Pillow your eyes
Pillow your eyes
Pillow your eyes
Pillow your eyes
Sphincter freed last on your common throne
You think the kill weeds chompin' at your noodles flow
There's somethin about the herb, so fast, hypnotize
A ripened head change that'll pillow your eyes, yeah
Pillow your eyes, pillow your eyes
Pillow your eyes
Pillow your eyes
Pillow your eyes
Sphincter freed last on your common throne
You think the kill weeds chompin' at your noodles flow
There's somethin about the herb, so fast, hypnotize
A ripened head change that'll pillow your eyes, yeah
Pillow your eyes, pillow your eyes
Sphincter freed last on your common throne
You think the kill weeds chompin' at your noodles flow
There's somethin about the herb, so fast, hypnotize
A ripened head change that'll pillow your eyes

"Pistola"

"Pistola"


On the tip of my tongue an offensive is poised and rearing
My intention a bullet, my body a trigger finger

Yeah, my pen is a Pistola
I don't need to fear, fear you
Yeah, my pen is a Pistola

My secret arsenal is an infinite ageless inkwell
It's a fountain of youth and a patriot's weapon of choice

Yeah, my pen is a Pistola
I don't need to fear, fear you
Yeah, my pen is a Pistola

On the tip of my tongue an offensive is poised and rearing
My intention a bullet, my body a trigger finger

Yeah, my pen is a Pistola
I don't need to fear, fear you
Yeah, my pen is a Pistola

"Priceless"

"Priceless"


The fact that you
You think you can
Speak to me
The way you do
It bleeds me to believe that you
Have never stepped out of the skin you lived within
And then, and if
This day occurs
Your tongue, the taste
Will imitate a battery
The anti-equilibrium
Your stomach becomes the floor
The look on your face was priceless!
The look on your face was priceless!
Yes, the look on your face was priceless!
That look, it was...
A light goes on upstairs,
The attic is ablaze!
This island isn't big enough
For both of us so who will swim
In eel infested oceans?
Kiss the sand good-bye
because the tide is coming up and in
Yeah, water, water, water everywhere!
And every chance to sink!
The look on your face was priceless!
The look on your face was priceless!
Yes, the look on your face was priceless!
That look, it was so priceless
It's an amalgamation
Of the things you aren't
The ways you wish you were
A split second
Perceiving of the way you really look to everyone of them
I wish that you could see because
I wish that you could see
The look on your face was priceless!
The look on your face was priceless!
Yes, the look on your face was priceless!
That look, it was so priceless

"Privilege"

"Privilege"


Isn't it strange that a gift could be an enemy
Isn't it weird that a privilege could feel like a chore
Maybe its me, but this line isn't going anywhere
Maybe if we looked hard enough we could find a back door
Find yourself a back door
I see you in line dragging your feet
You have my sympathy
The day you were born you were born free
That is your privilege
Isn't it strange that the man standing in front of me
Doesn't have a clue why he's waiting or what he's waiting for
Maybe its me but I'm sick of wasting energy
Maybe if I look in my heart, I can find a back a door
Find yourself a back door
I see you in line dragging your feet
You have my sympathy
The day you were born you were born free
That is your
That is your privilege
Find yourself a back door
I see you in line dragging your feet
You have my sympathy
The day you were born you were born free
That is your privilege
I see you in line dragging your feet
You have my sympathy
The day you were born you were born free
That is your
That is your privilege

"Promises, Promises"

"Promises, Promises"


I'm only twenty-three for
Another hour, give or take,
I'm a fan of yours
And I need a good mistake

I'm not a sinner, a preacher
All I have is slight of hand
I do magic tricks for
All the boys in the band

[Bridge]
Baby could I be
The rabbit in your hat?
I'd swing if you'd hand me..
Hand me the bat

[Refrain]
I'm on the road of least resistance
I'd rather give up than give into this
So promise me only one thing, would you?
Just don't ever make me promises..
No promises, no promises

I've never done this before
Promises, promises,
I'm enjoying the illusion
And the things my body says

Now you see me, now you don't
Oh, how well you disappear
What are you running from
And may I interfere?

[Bridge X2]
Baby could I be
The rabbit in your hat?
I'd swing if you'd hand me..
Hand me the bat

[Refrain X2]
I'm on the road of least resistance
I'd rather give up than give into this
So promise me only one thing, would you?
Just don't ever make me promises..
No promises, no promises

"Psychopsilocybin"

"Psychopsilocybin"


Psychopsilocybin runnin horny mother fucker.
Trippin on his shoelace, searchin for the hairy sucker.
He dont need no funny money, his love is all his power.
Half-naked and full witted, and two weeks less a shower!
You'll see me, I'll be there, with my nose in the grass!
One for me, one for you.
Two for me, one for you.
Three for me, one for you.
End of the sack, now the fungi's they are bloom.

"Punch Drunk"

"Punch Drunk"


Did I park my car?
If I found it I would drive so far from here
The city streets are dim
And my hands are tempted once again
To give in...
I'm having trouble seeing
I'm punch drunk and
I need to find a way back home
It'd be a miracle if you'd oblige
I will survive
On this island i am stuck
Could you correct my crooked luck tonight?
On the road my thumb is out
I'm hitchin home tonight I am without a name
Where was it that I lived?
Well nevermind just take me with you
And forget...
The lack of information
I'm punch drunk and
I need to find a way back home
It'd be a miracle if you'd oblige
I will survive
On a silent I am stuck
Could you correct my crooked luck tonight?
I will survive
Tonight I wander and I roam
Just lookin for a way back home tonight
The sun is coming up
I think I've had my fill
Wait, who the fuck are you?
Where did I park my car?
Please forgive my...
Lack of information
I'm punch drunk and
I need to find a way back home
It'd be a miracle, ohhh
I'm having trouble seeing
I'm punch drunk and
I need to find a way back home
It'd be a mircale if you'd oblige
I will survive
On this island I am stuck
Could you correct my crooked luck tonight?
I will survive
Tonight I wander and I roam
Just lookin for a way back home tonight
Spare me... a ride, a ride tonight
Spare me... a ride, a ride tonight
(On this island I am stuck
Could you correct my crooked luck tonight?)
