A Painting You Can't Afford To See

You can fuck off back to Delco You can cover those tattoos Keeping cool stopped being helpful Round the time we got the news I suppose I should be mindful I don't mind if you don't mind I don't even like the guy so why are we sharing a bed? I don't even want to try sometimes I don't even like the guy so why are there not enough beds? Thought they do this all the time. Never been somebody's best man But I've sure been someone's first Never wanted to be less than Optimism is a curse I suppose I should be candid Can I do what I just did? I don't even like the guy so why are we sharing a bed? I don't even want to try sometimes I don't even like the guy so why are there not enough beds? Thought they do this all the time Do you ever do anything half assed? Do you ever do anything at all? Perpetual victim of circumstance after all I don't even like the guy so why are we sharing a bed? I don't even want to die sometimes I don't even like the guy so why are there not enough beds? Whatever you were never mine

Since I'm wrong and I won't take it back Since you can't and you shouldn't give in Think it's obvious now it was never going to work out And I've got no one to blame but myself I'll pretend that it wasn't my fault I'll explain to my friends why you're wrong They're polite to my face but tell the truth as I'm walking away That I've got no one to blame but myself No one to blame but myself Just gotta play what you're dealt Another excuse and other disputes And I've got no one to blame but myself So I'll leave if you want me to go Where I end up, I think god only knows It's okay if you're pissed but I wish you wouldn't insist That I've got no one to blame but myself

Indica bowl and a JRPG Watching myself in the black of the screen Nobody's home now and I really need Another indica bowl and a JRPG Indica bowl and a JRPG Afternoon sun setting over the trees Letting the room darken naturally Lit with an indica bowl and a JRPG It asked my name I knew that I could be whoever I wanted But I still typed "YOUR MOM" It wasn't funny after twenty minutes anyway But wait until I bust out the bong. The dankest strain for when modernity's a drain And I don't know that I can go on YOUR MOM just leveled up now it's on. Indica bowl and a JRPG Everyone comes down eventually Everyone wants to be someone unique

Over roofs and homes and cobblestones Flew Spain's first astronaut And the Ogre boys were overjoyed At the wreckage they had wrought They'd laid tunnels there below the square And when the Mass had ended His driver parked in the usual spot Above where they intended Now the Francoists were pretty pissed At the separatists' excess But when talking bombs the bigger arms Have better odds of success When they packed the load how could they know They overestimated The force to blast his fascist ass to hell when detonated? Now that it's our turn what can we learn From Spain's first astronaut? Overcompensate? Or equivocate? Overcomplicate the plot? If your plan to fight is sportsmanlike Recall the opposition Is unashamed and not constrained by less than demolition.

Feels like I've been stuck all night Staring at the tail lights Girl I've got you on my mind at the sobriety checkpoint "Sir, have you been drinking much?" Swear I never touch the stuff Hoping that the wink's enough at the sobriety checkpoint Officer, please let me go You keep me away from my baby It's not her fault, she doesn't know And I could use a favor I feel like I've been stuck all night Staring at the tail lights Girl I've got you on my mind at the sobriety checkpoint Officer, I'll have you know To keep me away from my baby Without a cause, I'm sure you know Am I being detained? Feels like I've been stuck all night Staring at the tail lights Think I'm gonna take my time Think I'm gonna take my time Think I'm gonna take all night at the sobriety checkpoint

In my dreams I'm with my dad At a parking lot for a show A sea of choomin' boomer dudes In line waiting to go We've got nowhere to go Got nothing to do Then I look at you and say "Hey Dad, it's the fucking Eagles. Are we gonna get high or what?"

Take a look at the queen now She's showing the scene how we need to be meaner But he's got the wiener demeanor tonight Always picking fights at the edge of a knife for the rest of your life But how could we be wrong? A natural phenom The voice of a nation despite allegations he may have embellished the depths of the hell which he clawed back to earth (As a matter of course for his birthright) From north to south They'll hear every thought that leaves your filthy mouth You figured out That it's better not to speak and keep the doubt And now you know the afterglow is stronger than the undertow that ripped us out to sea You glow You float Back on my bullshit Has it been annulled yet? If I'm being truthful, the feeling is mutual We ought to admit that it's been a bit since we called it quits and I don't really mind. Hydroponics and gin and tonics got me through lockdown It starts from the top down and rots from the head Everything they said was impossible You saw the optics instead In and out They heard every word you still can't think about Not a doubt No one's ever going to hold you to account And now you know the afterglow is stronger than the undertow that ripped us out to sea You glow You float

Fuck, I'm stuck in Dallas I hate to say it's true Then a delay at JFK Before I'm home to you It's been a long day And when I say something it never seems to come out right It's okay As long as I can still make the connecting flight Wasn't made for sleeping Headphones for the sound A double after takeoff Another on the ground It looks the same but hey, every airport could be someone's first time out of state And I'm glad it's reassuring.

Sunday morning with the line out the door God is pissed 'bout to settle the score It don't surprise me 'cause I've seen it before Every day's like in Revelation Cowboy killers for the nothing to lose Too familiar for the 6 o'clock news Don't read the comments or watch the reviews Every day the same revelations No sainthood for the living Martyrdom like I'm sizing the vest Bottom rung but I'm trying my best Started numb and they left unimpressed Well they can't all be revelations No one cares while you're alive Don't get to see the world you left Anodyne and atomized With the saints after your death

You don't have to take instructions from these jerk offs.

Day traders don't jump that much anymore Day traders don't jump that much anymore Maybe that's why they're cocky Maybe that's why we're poor All I know for sure Day traders don't jump that much anymore Newspapers don't print that stuff anymore Newspapers don't print that stuff anymore They'll tell you your rivals And they'll sell you the war All I know for sure Newspapers don't print that stuff anymore So they'll show you your idols And they'll give you what for All I know for sure Day traders don't jump that much anymore

Don't you think it might be fun to steal a policeman's gun? Don't you think it might be fun to steal a policeman's gun? What's he gonna do? He won't chase you He won't run What's he gonna do? He can't catch you And besides you got his Don't you think it might be fun (I'm just foolin' around) To steal a policeman's gun (I'm just foolin' around)

Numb me like novocaine Don't want to feel what I can't explain Gonna get so fried I don't remember your name I can't stand this heat Slept on the floor again this week Though I know I don't deserve your sympathy I'll be quick with a line Always laughing off the friction I'd be so inclined To get lost in the haze of the blues and greys At the end when the day is through Numb me like novocaine Every day plays out the same Washed out and static anyway

We're gonna party forever We'll stay enternally young Just leave my corpse on the dance floor The party has only begun We're gonna party forever Until the lights won't turn on If we never stop, they can't make us pay The party has only begun We're gonna party forever Imagine the fear if we don't If we don't party forever The party will rage if we won't.
