|
|||
starting this summer
they’re going to sell it in the
united states
and i can see it coming
hit the ground running
clearly it was a sensation
you’ll be the big star
of the pictures
they’ll want your autograph
and i could be your lover
your little brother
i could be your right hand man
i could be your right hand man
i could be your
one in one million
one in one million
one in one million
once in blue moon
once in blue moon
you don’t believe me though
you came from money
rang it up like nothing
you ain’t some wild thing darling
i wasn’t so lucky
put up with plenty
earned me a reputation
i was a card shark
in your schoolyard
i came up with something
cause i could see it coming
hit the ground running
clearly it was a real big deal
i'd like to think that it’s a real big deal
i'd like to think that it’s a real big deal
i'd like to think that it’s a
chance of a lifetime
chance of a lifetime
chance of a lifetime
once in blue moon
once in blue moon
you don’t believe me though
no how come you don’t believe me though
how come i’m suddenly a dope
how come i’m suddenly a dope
now
how could you think to leave me now
don’t chew me up and spit me out
don’t chew me up and spit me out
cause that’d be real girl
coldhearted
i like to think that it’s a real big deal
i like to think that it’s a real big deal
i like to think that it’s a
chance of a lifetime
chance of a lifetime
chance of a lifetime
once in blue moon
once in blue moon
you don’t believe me though

loose lips sink relationships
bailing out water on the Titanic
what’s it like at the bottom of the sea
you become friends with Leo Dicaprio
i’m the captain of a sinking ship
rolled too fast with my hand on the bottle
promise me they put you on
the last lifeboat, the last lifeboat to go
onshore
onshore
onshore
onshore
please be the unsinkable
shipmate you said you’d be
i don’t want to fight a vengeful god
pay the price non-monetarily
onshore
onshore
onshore
onshore
take a breath of ocean water
say a prayer before i go under
i hope it’s true when they say
it’s peaceful
loose lips sink relationships
bailing out water on the Titanic
what’s it like at the bottom of the sea
you become friends with Kevin Costner
onshore
onshore
onshore
onshore
onshore (i need the stars to guide us)
onshore (sans stars we're lost for miles)
onshore (i need the stars to guide us)

Diving Man
02:46
|
|||
my homesick prescription’s got me in a
real sick position
i’m wondering how all of this will end
cause i moved out to L.A. to
impress the ones that love me
i am wondering will they love me once again
for as my body is aging
my dreams they are fading
it might be time for family and friends
until then a dive
a dive
a dive is fit for a diving man
just like a quarter
a quarter
a quarter is a gift to a quarterless man
i've got a job that pays me if i
show up clean shaven
with two strong hands and a thoroughly bitten tongue
and ive got a friend that aids me
though he leaves me in the bushes
at the bottom
he leaves me on the bend
so far below even
pass the cheap tequila
and wake up sick in a secondhand twin bed
because a dive
a dive
a dive is fit for a diving man
just like a quarter
a quarter
a quarter is a gift to a quarterless man

Blood Orange
03:27
|

you ate blood oranges in a certain way
there was no need to explain a thing
i understood you then the best i ever had
it all made sense
our last meal had ended
and i was humming something in a certain way
you must have read my face correct
for you were gentle then, the most you’d ever been
you listened in until my song had ended
is this still a tune you remember?
the taste of blood orange
lots and lots of times we went promising
lots and lots of times no more
and i hate that what i said got taken out of place
and brought into another room
my words, your lips, their ears, context removed
you did me wrong
enough to last a lifetime
is this still a tune you remember?
the taste of blood orange
lots and lots of times we went promising
lots and lots of times no more
the time is no more to get yourself together
the pieces either fit or remain disconnected
the time is no more to get yourself together
the pieces either fit or remain disconnected
is this still a tune you remember?
the taste of blood orange
lots and lots of times we went promising
lots and lots of times no more
is this still a tune you remember?
the taste of blood orange
lots and lots of times we went promising
lots and lots of times no more

she’ll be just as pretty

Plan B
01:52
|
|||
take it
take it and run
all of your life that's been the advice given
but what if
what if you closed your ears dear
pulled up a chair, kicked off your shoes
and settled here
with me
that’s a pretty good plan b
and i’d be a liar to say
that i don’t know need you every day
i’m not trying to guilt you
but it’s true
and now that you’ve heard
all i’ve got to say
whatcha gonna do?
are we one or are we two?
one point five? two point two?
or are we eighty-sixed?

i cant talk enough good about you
i cant shake enough hands for you
i collect the dust
i collect the dust
this world’s beyond your ability
this word’s outside your literacy
i collect the dust
i collect the dust
but it’s not enough
it’s not enough
you threw yourself from the top to the bottom
and found yourself at the back of a bottle
it was hard to watch
it was hard to watch
i'd like to think that we’re created equal
and when we die another chance to sequel
who’s the one you trust
who’s the one you trust
he is not enough
he is not enough
he's not enough
he's not enough
he's not enough
i cant talk enough good about you
i cant shake enough hands for you
i collect the dust
i collect the dust
this world’s beyond your ability
this word’s beyond your literacy
i collect the dust
i collect the dust
but it’s not enough
it’s not enough

professor at whiskey bar

he says “all that’s left of cape canaveral
is all that’s left of the american mantle
the fall of the USSR
is the fall of man from stars”

Down the Road
02:47
|
|||
i know you think of me as
shredless of dignity
and one day i'll get what i got coming
but baby
what's mine is a minefield
to get here it takes 10 years
dumb luck and some raingear to wear
cause they know
ive got it coming down the road
it aint my issue to
hand you a tissue
to write out "i miss you"
on hotel letterhead
etc. etc.
my life is
better than yours
i believe one day you'll understand
cause they know
ive got it coming down the road
they all they all they all want to see
me swinging from the nearest…
i think it sounds awful (no, no)
i think it sound awful (no, no,)
i think it sounds awful and uncivil
i think it sounds awful (no, no)
i think it's unlawful (no, no,)
i think it sounds awful and uncivil
cause they know
ive got it coming down the road
they all they all they all want to see
me swinging from the nearest…
i think it sounds awful (no, no)
i think it's unlawful (no, no,)
i think it sounds awful and uncivil
