Met you on the street one sunny morn
Been thinking bout you since I was born
Now the truth came out I am forlorn
We are different. Separate. Apart
We believe in different things you and I
Your upper lip is stiff and I get high
Nose on the grindstone all the time
I wake up at the crack of noon
So we can never be Amanda Lee
It wasn't meant to go down you and me
But there's no shame in that
There's someone else for each of us that's a fact
Baba ba baa baa baa
Amanda Lee
Baba ba baa baa baa
Amanda Lee
So you got a job in high finance
I consider it a job to put on pants
I'm a lout, slacker, lazy little ant
You're puttin dough in your retirement
I say you got a big stick up your ass
You say there aint a math test Ive passed
Well that's not fair to say I'm pretty smart
Just not organized enough to win your heart
So we can never be Amanda Lee
It wasn't meant to go down you and me
But there's no shame in that
There's someone else for each of us that's a fact
Baba ba baa baa baa
Amanda Lee
Baba ba baa baa baa

There's No Quitting Now

Pensamos que estamos caminando en la misma direction
Cuando en realidad estamos caminando a lugares distinctas.
Good morning sunshine, how are you today?
Flower please have something left to say
Sorry bout the things I did and said
Sorry bout the way I went to bed
But hey
We're tired and that's okay
and it gets rough that way
There's no quitting now
Good morning sweetheart I'm doin fine thank you
There isn't much a boy like you can do
I'm dreamin dreams of flying high
Prancin, dancin, floating through the sky
But hey
It has to end this way
I still think you're great
We're better off this way
There's no quitting now
You know I've always loved you Of course you know that I love you
I know that we can make it through And it hurts me as much as you
How can I make it oh so clear I can no longer stay right here
I want you nowhere but right here and though it fills me up with fear
I can't believe you want to go I'll find some place that I can go
Your heart is colder than the snow Somewhere that you will never know
Just/I'll pack your/my bags and walk right out
There's no quitting now

Desert Man
03:48
|
|||
|
I'm a man from the sand and rock
carved out every piece of joy that I got
Had some trouble, had some strife
and I'm living on fight to fight
Climbed the mountain
swam the stream
ducked out of houses
under moonbeam
Broke a heart
a window or three
All in the name of my right to be free
I'm a Desert Man
Doing as best I can
We're gonna make it through
In the red white and blue
I'm a desert man
I'll make it if I can
Barely makin it through
in the red white and blue
My momma told me
find someone good
find a man that will do just as he should
But I didn't listen
didn't keep my word
I wanted to find someone with a plea to be heard
That's when I saw him pass me by
gave me a look that made me break down and cry
Needed him to be mine, wanted me to be his
I took him straight by the arms and I told him this.
You're a Desert Man
Doing the best you can
Take me away with you
across the red white and blue
Oh love me Desert Man
I'll do the best I can
To take care of you
in the red white and blue
(Chorus repeats side by side)

Fellatio for One
02:06
|
|||
|
I'm not really one for Blowjobs
I'd rather skip it and fuck
But I'll eat her out for hours
just to watch her twist and buck
That's not quite as satisfying
as holding hands all happy
Issue is I cant find one that can stand my company
So I gotta Jerk
Go in to work
Write a couple songs
practice all night
maybe I'll fall in love
I hope god above
watches over me
until I'm finally free
of being lonely
Oh it gets me real tired
it makes me oh so sad
I wonder how they do it
Oh my good ol mom and dad
Relationships are tricky
they take patience and some skill
But I aint got either of those
Just a hard head and strong will
Wake up at six
Watch the dog take a piss
Just missed the train
Cant let that happen again
I slave real hard
to put money on my card
So I can get around
you never me frown
Nothing's gonna keep me down.

Holiday in San Diego
that's where all the pretty girls go
Holiday in San Diego
Where I can be alone
Holiday in San Diego
that's where all the pretty girls go
Holiday in San Diego
That's where I call home

Release (First Demo)

Take it easy
Dont go out of your mind
Take it easy
Leave the bad thoughts behind
Take it easy
The worst here ain't so bad
Take it easy
Can't make you that sad
Fall into the mountain let it swallow you whole
Dive deep in the Ocean, lose control
Don't be afraid to let yourself in
Take a deep breath kid and learn to forgive
Do the right thing
Dont get out of control
do the right thing
Only costs your soul
Do the right thing
Just get out of your head
Do the right thing
Or the wrong instead
Fall into the mountain let it swallow you whole
Dive deep in the Ocean, lose control
Don't be afraid to let yourself in
Take a deep breath kid and learn to forgive

(Banter)
Don't you worry
Don't you fret
There's better ways to spend
your energy my friend
read a book
take a walk
draw pictures on the sidewalk with a big ol' piece of chalk
Call your girl
make a friend
it's all better than
worryin bout
how it will all end
so if you feel
your throat get tight
and your dreams wake you up in the middle of the night
take a breath
take it slow
that kind of stress can take it's toll on you you know
Start being grateful
Start saying thanks
Thank your lucky stars above you're not out there driving tanks
That is real
that is life
Not everyone on this planet gets to have it oh so nice
Build a fortress
fly a flag
put your mind on anything you've got it in the bag
So if you've got a heavy chest
and the ten ton elephants are caving in your breast
Lose your mind and teach your heart
Use your knowledge your conscious your good sense and your smarts.

(Humbling banter)
A dream of San Francisco
is looming over me
Stranger stranger danger
far as the eye can see
it's not like I'm not trying
to get up out of bed
the creature will defeat me
if I close my eyes instead
the puppy she is hungry
and whines to get some feed
you're gonna be late for work man
the new girl she's a tease
Get a cup of coffee
from the nice guy down the block
step into a slush pit
and it goes right to your socks
It's not easy can you help me please?
I am out here all alone
weary traveler lay your rucksack down
your foot's cut up the cobblestone.
look up high
over there see her fly
free from your tightening grasp
unbound from the past
And now you dont know her
she's different to you
and she walks like the woman
she aspired to
but still you've gone nowhere
just sharing your pain
and the part most frustrating
is there's no one to blame
Snap back to the real world
that's the price you gotta pay
shake it off your head man
it's time to start your day.

Yo and then she told me she had never heard of Megaman
and I was like "You ain't never no Megaman?"
*WHEEZE*
You know I mean I thought, I thought he was one if those people who was embedded in the cultural tapestry. You know he's the Blue Bomber! He's the Blue Bomber. Who doesn't know the Blue Bomber? You know what I mean?

Late lunch in the parking lot
Extra Onions Extra Fries
Canola oil leaks from his pores
Attracts the Flies
Imagine a man sitting a car that's far too small
He worries about fitting in at the bar later
If he was a real man he'd make the bar fit him
but he just got fired
Watch out man
He'll punch your throat
He'll steal your milk
Ruin your clothes
MOTHERFUCKER I LOVE THIS SHIRT
(God dammit)
It's not his fault
You got in the way
of his fucked up plan
to save the day
Yeah he's the creeper
Saving superman
From his thoughts
He likes hot dogs
And girls in shorts
You better believe he's the creeper
The Creeper made his final stand in the back room of a Friendly's
Whipped cream covered the walls as he led off to the courthouse
Justice was swift, fair, and unsurprising
He shed no tears.

Everyone's been having way more fun than me at my expense
as a matter of fact I should get home before the trains go local
that way I wont have to contend with all the crazies asking me for money
I ain't got none, in fact can you spare a buck or two please?
I swear it's not for drugs
Okay, and if so, What?
Who are you to judge?
We're both some addict scum
Scum.
A migraine wakes me up at 5am an hour before my alarm
I feed the cat and smoke a joint and make some breakfast for my mom
She's getting up in years and I'm all that she's got. Her only son
She never had another kid . I feel bad about how I turned out
Yeah she was always proud
She never let me down
She never knew the worst
Your son's a fucking curse
Curse.
There I always tried my best
My god given gift from above
I never got good grades in school
but I killed it at the comedy club
I don't always brush my teeth
My clothes stink
and they're covered in bugs
but I could always be myself
no matter what at the comedy club
the comedy club.

Vacation's no vacation
When you're always on the clock
With love with tears with patience
A bright tomorrow dawns
It don't take a genius to know
that the pressure's riding high
but it dont matter, we're smart, we're fine
She's not skipping stones
she's got plans of her own and they're going to motion
She takes back the reigns from the will of the world with a flash of her knife
He's got the right idea
but he's a little behind on technique and execution
He needs a little push the kid's smart but not all that bright
A shaky situation
a small boy in a growing home
It's not what they were planning
They take their days in stride
It don't take a genius to know
they're not ready to live this life
But it don't matter
We're in love, we're young, we're fine
She's not skating by
She's a one-of-a kind a real worker bee complexion
She knows what can go wrong if they slack and don't raise him right
He's got some neat ideas
a real creative type with a big imagination
he makes peace with the free roaming life they leave behind
It don't matter
We're in love, we're young, we're fine.

What's a newspaper?
I'll read it later
Will it lie to me or buy me Ice Cream?
Rocky Road or Vanilla Swirl
God the news makes me wanna hurl
I'm not in the mood to read
and it makes me wanna scream
fuck fuck FUCK FUCK FUCK
What is going on?
And I wrote this stupid song
To get my mind off all the things
that will be the end of me
and everyone I love
What's black and white and red all over?
A blood-stained Christ with a chip on his shoulder
Attack my values, persecute my views
I wanna die in a flood of fake news
What's a newspaper?

Why's that man in a mask coming up to my house?
I knew people were getting sick but I thought it was a lie.
He's coming up to our door.
His feet are touching the floor and I see-
Groceries in his hands
Could it be?
The one and only?
The one I asked for?
Yes it's the grocery man
Coming up my doorstep
He's gonna bring me chocolate chip cookies and a lot of orange juice
that I ordered from Walmart, or Costco, or Publix

It starts a little after midnight
Susie Sampson lies in bed
the lights are out
not a peep
(not a peep)
I make my home inside her head
Her mom and dad they notice
Something's not right
She's twisting and turning giving them an
awful fright
They call you up
They know what you do
You're excited to see me
You know it's true
Your cross and holy water
have no effect on me
I am the king of the shadows
I'll set you free
Brother O'Leary
Where are you running?
You know I know where you sleep at night.
Brother O'Leary
I need you tell me
Am I evil or am I right?
And I'll keep on coming for you
I wont stop until they die
It's you and me and Jesus
Dancing around another moonlit night
You really think that you can save 'em
It makes me laugh yeah it makes me cry
People like you make this worth it
We coulda been friends in another life

On nights like these we see what we're made of
Are self sufficient or big tubs of play-do
Vicious gods with the world in our palms
Where we keep our pictures and emails and songs
When the power dies society breaks down
We can't look up who plated Sam in Cheers now
Arguments up in the air just like the old days
Forced to wander like a herd of modern zombies
I was kinda glad for a second thinkin bout the rich folks on the upper west side
Having a taste of what the third world experiences the rest of the time
then I realized most of them are golden olides
Somebody's grandma stuck in an elevator
Scared and alone, scared and alone
I was never good at revenge because I can't stop wearing other people's clothes x2
We overcome adapt and pretend like it's not happening
Good Samaritans directing traffic
Broadway casts on the sidewalk singing
Choirs on 52nd street
I love this town.

Neighborhood Tour

My neighborhood’s great
Its on 1-2-5 and ninth
It’s got great people and stores to buy stuff from
My building is tall
Looks down the central park mall
Conveniently located uptown
But not so uptown people won’t visit me
My neighbors are nice
I met all of them once or twice
My favorite one’s on the tenth floor
Who charges $35 an eighth
No you can’t have his number
There’s 28 floors
Which sucks if there’s no elevator
Last year they were under repair
I walked up 22 stories a day for a summer.
The management sucks, no surprise
The repairs they make are a big fucking joke
Last year I got hit by the ceiling
Came crumbling down as I tried to jack off in the shower
Well that’s the big tour
Of the little slice of New York I call home
Am I happy you ask?
Well I tell ya it beats the hell out of living in south Florida
Sorry mom.

Parenthood

We’re up 4 hours earlier than We’d like to be
It’s hard to stay mad at the kid he doesn’t know what he’s doing
That smile melts our frustrations away
But We’re still pretty fuckin tired
Fig bars, Cheerios, toast with chia seeds
If you Refill the sippy cup I’ll Take out the dog
At least I like my job at least you like your school
Parenthood’s rewarding yeah parenthood is cool
Bake us some bread with your magic hands
I’ll play pretend with the little man
We clean the apartment on Sunday’s I scrub the grout on our hands and knees
Then let’s go for a walk in the park
I could use a walk in the park
We could use a walk in the park
Parenthoods a walk in the park
As soon as we get back we’ll feed him supper
Give him a bath in the dead of summer
Get him to bed at a decent hour
So we can touch each other
