Grease in the gutter
Gasoline on the ground
You’re somewhere over that rainbow, baby
I keep my head to the ground
Street stains predict the future
What happens next
Street stains predict the future
Right now, I’m not impressed
Dog piss in a puddle
the shape of Florida
I think we should go there, baby,
when revolution comes
Street stains predict the future
What happens next
Street stains predict the future
and it’s a fucking mess

A Big To Do
01:24
|

Don’t forget your problems
Don’t forget the world you're living in
Don’t forget the rent check
Don’t forget to take your vitamins
Don’t forget to charge your phone
Don’t forget how to get back home
Don’t forget how to keep your calm
Don’t forget to call your mom
Don’t forget tomorrow
Don’t forget to write everything down
Don’t forget your childhood
Don’t forget to burn it to the ground
Don’t forget to walk the dog
Don’t forget how they did you wrong
Don’t forget what you might not know
Don’t forget to smell the roses
Don’t forget your feelings
Don’t forget everything you believe
Don’t forget your values
Please turn off the lights before you leave

The Brain Is a Bruise
02:02
|

The brain is a bruise, that’s why it hurts so bad
Your brain is a bruise, that’s why your world’s so sad
The brain is a bruise from something you never remember
The brain is a bruise, it’s always getting better
Got no idea how it works
When it gets better, it gets worse
My brain is a bruise and it will never trust you, ever
But you keep on pressing down and, man, it hurts
It hurts!
The brain is a bruise and nothing’s a-okay
The brain is a bruise, that’s why it hurts all day
The brain is a bruise, it’s always changing its colors
Your brain is a bruise, it’s not like all the others
Got no idea how it works
When it gets better, shit gets worse
My brain is a bruise and it will never trust you, ever
But you keep on pressing down and, man, it hurts

The Party
02:03
|

You’re extroverted for an only child?
Same Myers-Briggs type as Oscar Wilde?
It makes you wonder about the kids you'll be raising?
Oh wow, that’s really amazing!
You can't remember what you did yesterday?
You read that article on MDMA?
You tried it once but the details are hazy?
Oh wow, that’s totally crazy!
Wow! Wow! Wow! Yeah!
You can't decide on where to go on vacation?
You like to travel in developing nations?
You spent your summer surfing African beaches?
Oh wow, I’m totally speechless!
Made some kombucha that you’ll never forget?
You know the banh mi’s all about the baguette?
Your diet might just redefine the word edible?
Oh wow, that’s really incredible!
Wow! Wow! Wow! Yeah!

Back in the summer of ‘69
we were twinkles in a caveman’s eyes
That’s what I can’t believe
I really can’t believe
They built some pyramids and made some art
They had some wars and then they took 'em apart
That’s what I can’t believe
I really can’t believe
They wrote some books and then they sang some songs
They built some cities, things were moving along
I really can’t believe
I simply can’t believe
Summer of ‘69 was far from the best
I think it’s probably ‘cause we didn’t exist
That’s what I can’t believe
That’s what I can’t believe
Hey
And now I’m chilling out with nothing to fear
Summer of '69, you’re killing me here
That’s what I can’t believe
We really can’t believe
Cause I know that I have to die
but can it be 2069?
That’s what I can’t believe
In the future when I’m getting old,
it’s getting darker and it’s freezing cold
and I still can’t believe
I c-c-can’t believe
I know I don't get a say,
but let the record show anyway:
That if I have to die, (and we all have to die),
I wanna die in the summertime

No No No
01:02
|

In a stupid, crowded city
Living large, living shitty
Bad ideas keep it busy
I say no no no no no no no no
Never winning, always trying
Peace is selling, who is buying?
Busy searching and destroying
I say no no no no no no no no no
Busy searching and destroying
Peace is selling, who is buying?
Never winning, always trying
I say no no no no no no no no no
Bad ideas keep me busy
Living large, living shitty
In a stupid, crowded city
I say no no no no no no no no no

Somewhere over the chemtrails
I can’t see
I feel free
Somewhere over the guardrails
It’s a mess
Somewhere, wind in the top sails
It’s the best
I can’t see
I feel free
Somewhere over the handlebars
Ouch, it hurts
Somewhere over the planet Mars
It’s the worst
I can’t see
I feel free

Ice Water and Saltines
00:55
|
|||
Back on ice water and saltines
A steady diet of you-know-what-that-means
When your culture’s illegitimate
you’ll never wonder where the money went
So break out the ice water and saltines
and raise glass to a network of bad scenes
When your town is that irrelevant
you won’t pick up on the ambivalence
I’m dying, I’m dying, I'm dying, I'm dying
I'm dying, I'm dying, I'm dying, I'm dying
I'm dying to tell you all about the wannabes
To school you all about monotony
To sit and brag about the evidence
To tell you all about the benefits
About the boredom and the bitterness
How back then Baltimore was hit-or-miss
Madrid was tough on vegetarians
I can't remember how this story ends

The Wait Around
02:09
|

You wait around
and that's no fun
You wait around all night
You feel so dumb
You made it right on time and now you wait around
You found your way just fine and now you wait around
You la-la-lose your mind when you wait around
You kinda lose your life when you wait around
You wait around
You check your phone
You check your phone again
You're on your own
You made it right on time and now you wait around
You found your way just fine and now you wait around
You la-la-lose your mind when you wait around
You kinda lose your life when you wait around
You know your friends won't show
But you wait around, you wait around
You woah-woah-won't let go
So you wait around, you wait around
You feel like you can't fail
So you wait around, you wait around
And now it's time to bail but wait wait wait wait wait wait...

I need space to be a jerk
and everyday I find a way to make it work
I need space to be lazy
Just don’t tell the person that pays me
I need more space for nothing and I want it now
I got no time for patience, don't wanna wait around, man
I need space to be selfish prick
(but not enough to get a reputation that’ll stick)
Yeah, I need space to be a stupid person,
not smart enough to know if it gets better or gets worse
I need space to freak out
And that’s another thing I shouldn’t speak about
Let me out!

Hardcore Sensuality
00:47
|
|||
Never mind the rules
Never mind the rage
Never mind the nihilism
Never mind your age
Never mind the styles
Never mind the trends
Never mind the isolation
Cut off all your friends
We’ve been cut off for thirty years
Fucked, unfeeling and bored to tears
Never mind your faith
Never mind the void
Never mind the posturing that made you paranoid
Never mind the mysteries or things you can't believe
Never mind your fear of death
'Cause what comes next is now reflex
You found your hardcore sensuality

Better Than Nothing
01:03
|
|||
Scene's so bleak but better than nothing
Reception's weak, it’s better than nothing
More bad moods are better than nothing
Un-Whole foods are better than nothing
All the traffic's stuck
And the lines are long, long
And the weather sucks
All your friends are gone, gone
Picture’s bad it’s better than nothing
Don’t get mad, it’s better than nothing
Service sucks, it’s better than nothing
For a hundred bucks, it’s better than nothing
All the traffic's stuck
And the lines are long, long
And the weather sucks
All your friends are gone
I'm in no position
to speak on the condition
of how you might be living
Just get me outta here
Get me out!

We Need to Talk
02:23
|
|||
Talk about your problems, talk about your dreams
Talk about existence and what you think that means
Talk about your favorite book, then your favorite song
Talk about the others and how they got it wrong
Talk about the first time, talk about the last
Talk about your future, then talk about your past
Talk about ambition, and talk about your fears
Talk about the moment that changed your whole career
Talk about the universe and if you think it’s real
Tell me why if not and how it feels
Still so much left to say, and I don’t doubt it
Twenty-thousand days left, let’s talk about it
Talk about tomorrow and what you hope to find
Talk about the things you’ll leave behind
Talk about your childhood, then talk about your death
Talk about what counts and skip the rest
