your darkness turns me on 03:02
lyrics

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 before the dawn I love all your strange Your darkness turns me on Lights go out, time to spill your guts Sounds insane but please show me you’re nuts Lighter flame, head to the moon tower All the same, gone for the next hour (chorus) Solo (chorus)

crack it open 03:01
lyrics

You’ll need a big trunk to get the real junk I’m sittin’ at the bottom but I ain’t convinced the boat sunk Without the tick tock, I hear a knock knock 25 minutes to go, let’s go! You asked a big brain if I am insane Spillin’ on the surface just to get yourself a big stain I heard my daddy cry, I heard my daddy cry I had to see it through but now I just don’t know why Chorus: You cracked it open (3x) Then everything went away Woo! I heard a question in every session Closed to tryin’ anything but open to suggestion I knew your name last, we’re going too fast There was a reason but everything is gone I’m in the dark now (3x) And feeling my way along I see a dark star, it might be too far But everybody’s s-s-sayin’ Come on Come on (3x) Chorus: You cracked it open (4x) Everybody’s sayin’ Come on

I – I’m feelin’ cold I can’t stick around If the sky could turn us upside down I would turn this boat around If the spirits Take me when they fly Her song was spoken I don’t know why Her heart is broken When I sailed away I made a banshee cry She – she whails for me She takes all the ships If the sky hit hard when it crashed down I would take the hit If the spirits Take me when they fly Her song was spoken I am the why Her heart is broken When I sailed away I made a banshee cry

Unhh Who’s gonna fix you when you lose your mind? Who’s got a second when you got no time? Who’s got the answer that you need to find? Who’s got a quarter when you need a dime? Dr Blankenstein! Who? Who’s gonna put the apple in your eye? Who’s got something you just need to try? Who’s gonna give you wings so you can fly? Who’s gonna bring you down when you’re too high? Dr Blankenstein! (4x) Who? Unhhhhhh Who’s gonna give you legs so you can run? Who’s got the trigger for your loaded gun? Who’s gonna push you when you feel you’re done? Who’s got a lighter when you’re missin’ - one?! Who?! Unhhhhhh That’s my lighter! That’s (that’s) my lighter!! (repeat 4x) Unh uh (jam) Unh… unh… It’s Blankenstein! Dr Blankenstein! (4x)

catch my draft 04:18
lyrics

Another dead end street in a dead end town I won’t sneak a ride to get away from you It took the last bottle to get me down I left fast speedy speedy screaming out loud I’m gonna take the first exit too Chorus: Did I make you laugh? Didn’t mean mean mean to make you cry Can you catch my draft I got to say good-bye If I need to go back I’ll just spin it around If I widen the van it won’t turn in dirt I won’t pass the finish with a weighty ghost I won’t pass the stop sign falling off the post If you keep on goin’ there’s a finish line that doesn’t hurt Watch me! (bridge) Chorus: Did I make you laugh? Didn’t mean mean mean to make you cry Can you catch my draft I got to say good-bye I got to say good-bye I got to saaaaay good-bye

I’m calling bullshit, we went away I heard that cellar door was fun to say I stuck the lip up, I faced the ground Which is the way to turn around? Chorus: I’m home sick honey I’m home sick for you I’m home sick honey So home sick I’m blue I’m fakin’ the fun, I smashed a plate I watched the time to hurry up the wait I’m gettin’ nothin’, not even here You work the pedals, just let me steer (chorus) I tried the twister and special K But cellar door wasn’t fun to say And now I’m driftin’, you’re calling me I’ll turn around, you’re gonna see (chorus) 2x

get off my train 03:50
lyrics

And I just sat down when a man got up With a look in his eye that made me stare at him And his beard was long and he wore slippers He started shouting stuff to anyone He said crazy things like where’s my bones And I’m a wolf, then he danced around Howling at the moon, then he stopped spinning And then he pointed at me, and this is what he said Chorus: Get off my train (4x) Or I’ll eat your brain But I just sat down, so I didn’t get up Then the lady beside me asked me what I was looking at Told her bout the wolf, the dancin’ wolf With the slippers on, y’know, the hairy guy But she looked confused, said she didn’t know Then she pointed at me, and this is what she said (chorus)

Daisy wants to get under the blanket I said, “I’ll follow you” Crazy what we did under the blanket She made the last time new It went… Chorus: All night long (3x) We’ll keep the blanket hot I bit Daisy under the blanket She said, “I swallow too” There ain’t much room under the blanket What are we gonna do? (Chorus) We’ll keep the blanket hot hot hot Solo I led Daisy under the blanket She said, “I’ll follow you” I don’t think tonight I’ll have to spank it She told me that was true It got… Damn hot forgot what’s the cold like Damn heat repeat what’s the cold like Damn fire needs to get back in bed Where the coals burn burn cause it’s hot hot hot All night

the doctor 05:36
lyrics

Thunder came rollin’ down the hills We all wondered is there any place to hide? The doctor quickly passed out all the pills When we passed out the world heard us when we cried Doctor! (3x) Let me know if I died There was thunder raining down from the dark sky We all looked behind the curtain and saw the truth was more than that; it was a lie Doctor! (3x) Let me know when I die

about

I think when people say, "take care of yourself", they actually mean get someone else to take care of you.
And when the people that are supposed to be able to help you constantly let you down, at what point do you say to yourself, "Y'know what? I WILL take care of myself".
