Porcupine girl

courageous big head
you’re a part of it
prickly fingers and thorned legs
we had jumped over barbed fence
how does the mind grow?
you asked me slow
is it like a walk in the sun?
is it like a walk in the sun?
porcupine girl
i know that you have
but isn’t it all part of the show?
isn’t it all part of the show?

Baby bathwater
03:41

|
there’s a many myriad of
gentle snakes
party flakes
who don’t come around
very often now
i could tell you felt
hot and cold
winter trope in your party robe
and there’s always something else
i’m not like the kids you kill, baby
i’m not like the ones you throw out with the bathwater
i’m not like the kids you kill, baby
you shun the ones who light fire
in the forest
(so cold)
grassroots fun
home-brewed homerun
gentle snake
party flake
and there’s always something else
i’m not like the kids you kill, baby
i’m not like the ones you throw out with the bathwater
i’m not like the kids you kill, baby
you shun the ones who light fire
in the forest!
party flake in your winter ways
you’re making length out of your torment

Healthy & wealthy

healthy and wealthy
the scribblings of an era
they say to level up don’t drink to get a buzz
all the while the morale is seriously low
healthy and wealthy
the scribblings of an era
evenly distributed I’m still going rogue
despite all the joints and points the water still flows
are you TV-ready?
i’m not TV-ready
are you TV-ready?
i’m not TV-ready
scraping by grass knee-high
gives me horrible cuts
lurking by your old house
gives me horrible cuts
healthy and wealthy
i’m feeling the spirit of the world
are you TV-ready?
i’m not TV-ready
are you TV-ready?
i’m not TV-ready
scraping by grass knee-high
gives me horrible cuts
lurking by your old house
gives me horrible cuts
i need serum
for my wings

Empresário

empresário of my feelings
you’ve got style
short-circuited my surroundings
you’re all wire
empresário
sou sua obra-prima
in the round
in the real
it’s not worth it
it’s too triggering
sua mente
help me trigger it
a triggering a boundary
a mark of the modern
i wanna see that side of you
I think i adore you
a triggering a boundary
a mark of the modern
i wanna see that side of you
i think that i love you
empresário? alô? alô? cadê você…?
1-800…
cadê o meu chefinho…?
ele não tá no meu show
ele não tá aqui…
eu vou demitir esse cara
ele não é de nada
só tá com a cara amarrada…

Chemlab
03:13
|

brain is a chemlab
a maker of absence
it fabricates the numbing cream
in the void of your presence
the sidewalk is filled with strange talk
my nerves could fry a sunny side
your mouth is making strange sounds
and children are gnomes (oh, no!)
and children are gnomes (oh, no!)
i’ve got all of the things for you
books and magazines with a view
i don’t know what else to do
wishing my dreams would come true
would come true
would come true
brain is a chemlab
maker of absence
não é de nada
feels telepresence
i’ve got all of these things to do
but not one of them includes you
i don’t know what else to do
wishing my dreams would come true
would come true
would come true

i’d prefer if we kept this trusted
it’s easily dusted
i can’t pretend not to see what you mean
you walk around and then you cause a scene
i won’t take it
i can’t say
you’re a cherished old thing
sourgum
it could have been fun
a powdery gun
a powdery gun
a quick reflection makes the mind unsteady
to the compulsive need
to be competitive
mosquitoes at the ready
you feeling heavy yet?
i was sick like hell
i was sick like hell
you asked me,
“you doing well?”
then left the chat
oh what a steady hand
sourgum
it could have been fun
a powdery gun
a powdery gun
and it’s not a total surprise
no it’s not a total surprise
from day one i always got it wrong
sourgum
it could have been fun
a powdery gun
a powdery gun

Oskar

Oskar asked me if i was
alright
that night
i was hoping i couldn’t
hold myself
upright
think of little money, then think again
that’s how it went
that’s how they do it there
a street so long and so deserted
no event horizon
a street with skunks and Chinese monks and telephone polls
just GPS it, i’m sure you’d get it
just GPS it, i’m sure you’d get it
i don't know how to be
well, especially not here
“a flat and briney glass of white
was drunk at home”
i said outright
Oskar why would you be mean when i came here alone?
i know we got no problem
i know that we’re good
we need an exit plan
high
upright
Oskar why would you stay here when you could just go home?
i know you got no pockets
i know that you’re cool
you’re a good man
i know we got no problem
i know that we’re good
we need an exit plan

Weird guy

can you stop
being a weird guy?
can you stop
being a weird guy?
i wanna enjoy
things i find
dumb and small
girly dolls
on the intercom
i said, “i’m going cold”
you said, “i’m not ready for the show”
for the show
for the show
can you stop
being a weird guy?
a weird guy?
oh, weird guy!
put me in a pot
put me in a pot
put me in a pot
oh, don’t you dare!

Beauty bar

holding my gaze
to her strange face
is this the apex
of confidence?
the beauty bar is open
and they’ve got a chair
especially for you
Constance is here
and her skin’s sheen
is like light to me
marbled and serene
it makes every bastard wish they were clean
(including me)
am i just a peasant here?
beauty bodies
apollonian
everybody’s
everybody’s
climbing to some lofty heights
giving off some awkward vibes
am i just a peasant here?
am i just a peasant here?
everybody
everybody!
climbing to some lofty heights
giving off some awkward vibes
holding my gaze
to her strange face
is this the apex
of confidence?
