the eye's lies
04:02
|

|
oooh know that you're the main attraction
looking for some risky action
I can't believe my eyes
oooh fancy pants lost the pockets
look into the eyeball sockets
now I can believe my lies
oooh wearing your reading glasses
moving risky molasses
you can't believe your eyes
oooh get another education
look into the eyeball nation
then you can belive your lies

sun goes down time to go outside
you look down want to go inside
neon lights head to the underground
that's too bright not like in my town
chorus:
time for a change
at least until the dawn
I love all your strange
your darkness turns me on
lights go out time to spill your guts
sounds insane but doesn't look that nuts
lighter flame head to the moon tower
all the same gone for the next hour
(chorus)

captain
06:14

|
taste is a waste when you cannot vote
but the captain ain't listening
she tried to leave a post-it note
but the captain can't read a thing
high in the sky is a good year blimp
but the captain don't need attire
beg for a leg that doesn't limp
but the captain can't start the fire
blame is a game the adults play
but the captain will just sit out
caught in a knot since yesterday
but the captain can't twist and shout
I am the captain...
talk while you walk through the atmosphere
cause the captain don't have the time
show what you know and it will appear
but the captain thinks it's a crime
shame that your name was a ghost today
but the captain can't crack the whip
he tried to leave and make us stay
on board a sinking ship
but he is the captain...

heartache, you give me heartache
just thinking about you
just dreaming about you
makes my heart ache
oh heart ache
mistake how could I mistake?
I'm thinking about you
my thoughts are of just you
there's no mistake
now my heart aches
heartache, oh how my heart aches
just thinking about you
just dreaming about you
and living without you
I'm so lost without you
make my heart ache
oh heartache

fun in the sun

2 times we dropped acid on the beach
for the fun in the sun
each time we had bliss within our reach
it was more than just some
2 times we got married on the beach
for the fun in the sun
each time we got blisters on our feet
but 2 became 1
chorus:
I got blisters on my thumb
want to see me touch the sun?
I get bliss when you can come
have a feeling we'll be having fun
2 times we went surfin on the waves
for the fun in the sun
each time went hurtin to our graves
it was worth it a ton
2 times we got cut by a close shave
for the fun in the sun
each time we lost everything we gave
but that was the plun
(chorus)

shotgun cannon go
what do I even know?
the shotgun cannon show
Mondays sun or snow
do I know shotgun?
do I know cannon?
salmon? go
shotgun cannon go
shot off my big toe
shotgun cannon go
where is the big show?
is it in the shotgun?
is it in the cannon?
or salmon? or canyon? go
do I know shotgun?
do I know cannon?
salmon? canyon?
something go

2 beyond infinity plus 1
03:51
|
|||
|
I want to fool around and then get down
or maybe we could in reverse
I want to be the one before the fun
to help you find your missing purse
I want to hold the door to something more
why don't you just make the call?
I want to make it through your Xanadu
then in love we're gonna fall
chorus:
I want to go beyond infinity plus one with you
I want to send a text that leads to sex
or maybe we could go away
I want to double dare and pinky swear
everything will be okay
I want to take a shot and tie the knot
there's nothing else I wanna do
I want to make you laugh and photograph
anything you want me to
(chorus)

is hoolopy even a word?
03:28
|
|||
|
who will lobby for our rights?
who will save us all?
who will lobby through the night?
who is one for all?
chorus:
I talked while you fed the birds
you threw a crumb and asked,
is hoolopy even a word?
who will lobby for our souls?
who has got our backs?
who will lobby for our goals?
balance what we lack
(chorus)
