Play to Lose

Baby, I’m a stop sign
Looking for a car crash
A stack of hundred dollar bills
Looking for a wind tunnel that’s right
I put my heart on layaway
All night, all day
Can’t you see it in my baby blues?
I play to lose
Any way you choose
When you play to lose
Baby, I’m a water slide
Looking for a lawsuit
A gently used Westfalia
Looking for a title loan
Oh yeah
I’m stitches waiting for a fight
All day, all night
Can’t you see it in my baby blues?
I play to lose
Any way you choose
When you play to lose
I’ll stay in the basement forever
Standing at the top of Caesars
The view from up here is sublime
Somehow I fall for it every time
Baby, I’m a mattress
Looking for a sidewalk
I’m Grace Kelly’s engagement ring
Looking for a burglar
My god
Freedom’s where bottom is the top
No breaks, don’t stop
Can’t you see it in my baby blues
I play to lose
Any way you choose
When you play to lose

V.I.P.
02:35
|

|
Buying’s hot but I wanna share you
With 20 other parties all from the bayou
You’ve got the kind of wheel I wanna steer
Top shelf tequila on ice
Something ‘bout the ocean makes me wanna dip twice
In every nautical vice for two weeks a year
I’ve got the money in my hands, girl
On the open sea anything is possible
You and me and a couple couples
And I’m going to take you back to Monaco
V.I.P. with shrimp on the barbie
We agree this is a very important party
I never want this odyssey to end
Flex keel, elation’s a dead run
Everybody’s here to go nowhere and be no one
I left my name at the hatch
So let’s have some fun
I’ve got the money in my hands, girl
On the open sea anything is possible
You and me and a couple couples
And I’m going to take you back to Monaco

Breathing Underwater
04:50
|

|
You move like silk on ice
Twice in the morning haven’t left the bed
Since midnight
I go to make the coffee
The water’s warm and if we’re lucky
We can do it all again just like the last time baby
I’ll call my friends from Florida
They wrote the rules on euphoria
I wanna take you there
Three miles under the ocean let’s go nowhere
Ooo take you there
It’s easy as breathing underwater
Ahh
Ooo go nowhere
Oo ooo it’s easy as breathing underwater
Out on the smokers’ deck
Ashes abandon deep into the sea
Baby
I go to greet the morning
Pour me a sunrise if I’m lucky
I’ll forget it all again just like the last time
I’ll call my friends from Florida
They wrote the rules on euphoria
I wanna take you there
Three miles under the ocean let’s go nowhere
Ooo take you there
Oh yeah
It’s easy as breathing underwater
Ahh
Ooo go nowhere
Whoa, well it’s easy as breathing underwater
Ooo take you there
Whoa, well it’s easy as breathing underwater
Ooo go nowhere
Well it’s easy as breathing underwater, yeah

Nothing You Can Do
03:42
|
|||
|
Ooo there’s nothing you can do to make it right
Keep an eye on the camera (oh no!)
I’ve been seeing the same car circle keep the lights low
Oh no, oh no
I don’t think we’re alone
Better shut off the power take the SIM out of your phone
Ooo champagne on the runway
Dinner in Amsterdam dessert in Shanghai
Ooo greyhound going one way
Guy in the porkpie’s giving me the side eye
Ooo there’s nothing you can do to make it right
Got a bag in the bureau (oh no!)
Is it the federal bureau or the guys from Glasgow
Oh no, oh no
They’re knocking on the door
Give them nothing but continental breakfast on the floor
Ooo ice in the jacuzzi
Tickets to Cher receipts for House of Bijan
Ooo shades on at the movies
Soon as they fire Chekhov’s gun I’ll be gone
Ooo there’s nothing you can do to make it right

The Alkalite
04:08
|

|
Understudy, proscenium curtains drawn
Chobani Font on at dawn
Amaretto (The chorus girls take a shot)
Beneath the fly tower bar he’s got
Two directors on shoulder left shoulder right
Losing their shit all night
In the mirror (He gives it all to the line)
Fifty for a dime
It’s just his audition for the big time
Ooo ooo
It’s going down at the Alkalite
Ooo ooo
Just say my name at the door tonight
At the fountain
The hours pour down her thigh
Swimmers in good supply
Got his head up (He’s saving it for the show)
And getting front in the back row
Read the rider
The duffel bag in his hand
A ticket direct to San Montebello (He’s selling it on the mark)
Crying in the dark
(Is that the best you’ve got?)
(I don’t know!)
It’s just his audition for the big part
Ooo ooo
It’s going down at the Alkalite
Ooo ooo
Just say my name at the door tonight
phone rings
Hey it’s The Alkalite
Oh hey
Oh my god stop
I’m at work right now
I gotta go
I’ll call you
In the corner a dozen robes on the floor
Room for one costume more
Chicken dinner (the audience takes a bite)
He’s going to fight for a scrap tonight
After hours the boys in the bathroom stall
Tell him it’s curtain call
(Take a picture)
(They’ll show him all how it’s done)
Dancing with a gun
(Oh no)
It’s just his audition for the big one
Ooo ooo
It’s going down at the Alkalite
Ooo ooo
Just say my name at the door tonight
Ooo ooo
It’s going down at the Alkalite
Ooo ooo
Just say my name at the door tonight

Lion's Share
03:05
|

|
Never enough always another hallway
Here comes a reason to hide
She’s got him compromised behind the Steinway
Taking the boss for a ride
Let’s build it
On the rock
I’ve been dreaming the lion’s share
A castle
On the rock
We’ll be eating the lion’s share
The streets of yesterday tomorrow’s promise
Apothecary is in
Animatronic orchestras one token
And let the magic begin
Let’s build it
On the rock
I’ve been dreaming the lion’s share
A castle
On the rock
We’ll be eating the lion’s share
Don’t call it a fantasy
You just live in it
All of the ivory in the key of C it’s never enough for me
Not afraid to die
Scatter my ashes from the stairs of the heritage of the sea
The crown of England and the pizzeria
I want Larue and Versailles
A train car taller than the Eiffel Tower
This angel’s ready to fly
Let’s build it
On the rock
I’ve been dreaming the lion’s share
A castle
On the rock
We’ll be eating the lion’s share
Don’t call it a fantasy
You just live in it
All of the ivory in the key of C it’s never enough for me
Not afraid to die
Scatter my ashes from the stairs of the heritage of the
Fantasy
You just live in it
All of the ivory in the key of C it’s never enough for me
Not afraid to die
Scatter my ashes from the stairs of the heritage of the sea
On the rock

Daryll's On The News
04:10
|
|||
|
On the first Greyhound tomorrow
Gonna hide out for a little while
And I’m bracing for the morning show
They’re gonna hit us with the Christmas smile
Ooo Daryll’s on the news
Ooo pictures of you
The neighbours heard it roar like thunder
We could smell it from the Marriott
Blew Dazzy’s Bar and Grill asunder
Someone saw him in the parking lot
Ooo Daryll’s on the news
Ooo pictures of you
(And pictures of me too)
Pictures of you
(Pictures of me and you)
Pictures of you
Eleven innings deep last August
Took me home on a hard line drive
Then cheers at Dazzy’s pitchers on us
Ooo oo baby what a night to be alive
Tried to take him to the apex
Never thought we’d tear his world apart
But I love him and he loves you babe
Ooo oo disappearing is the hardest part
Ooo Daryll’s on the news
Ooo pictures of you
(And pictures of me too)
Pictures of you
(Pictures of me and you)
Pictures of you
(And pictures of me too)
The neighbours heard it roar like thunder
(Daryll’s on the news)
We could hear it from the Marriott
(Pictures of me and you)
Blew Dazzy’s Bar and Grill asunder
(Pictures of you)
Someone saw him in the parking lot

The Cage
02:40
|
|||
|
Too many angels wanna talk on the phone
Too many micro psilocybin mornings alone
I’ve got a real life walker for my virtual dog
I’ve got a grass fed, solar powered, engine for my Harley hog
(C-A)
Guess I could use some restriction
(G-E)
I wanna feel some friction I get
(Rejoice)
Lost on the names and I got lost in the voices I’ve got
(Be free)
Too many options for a lifetime of choices
Are you ready to disrupt your perfect life?
Ego disengaged in The Cage
Are you ready to destroy your perfect life?
Leave this modern age in The Cage
Sold all the condos for a four letter box
Traded the offshore pleasures for a pile of rocks
I’m at-t-t-toning for a life of regret
I’m drinking Kirkland coffee it’s as real as it gets
(C-A)
Guess I could use some restriction
(G-E)
I wanna feel some friction I get
(Rejoice)
Lost on the names and I got lost in the voices I’ve got
(Be free)
Too many options for a lifetime of choices
Are you ready to disrupt your perfect life?
Ego disengaged in The Cage
Are you ready to destroy your perfect life?
Leave this modern age in The Cage
Open your eyes to the ink of nothingness
Your skin neither touching or feeling
You’ll realize that the bottom of the bottom of a well
Is actually the dirt of the spirit
Fertile darkness
The colour of infinity
In which everything on this wretched earth grows
Are you ready to disrupt your perfect life?
Ego disengaged in The Cage
Are you ready to destroy your perfect life?
Leave this modern age in The Cage

Essence of You
03:21
|
|||
|
The one where we fall for love
Obeying an order from above
Was it called Heaven Sent?
Haven’t you settled on a title for it yet?
Your best work is still unsung
American standard almost done
Only thing left to do
We’re going to carry it through
Essence of you
Essence of you
The notebooks under your bed
The voice memos singing in your stead
All the data we need
To write the ending to your unfinished history
It’s on the horizon kid
Your ego, superego and id
Bid your final adieu
And make your stellar debut
Essence of you
Essence of you
They’re taking it hard like I told you they would
Everyone’s telling me how they told you that prescription
It would come to no good
Iconic after his time
A genius undone before his prime
Send it off to the press
A tragic portrait of the songwriter at his best
You’ll crank them out by the hour
Hate songs and heartbreaks to devour
When they want to feel to feel blue
They’ll all be listening to
Essence of you
Essence of you
Essence of You

Mr. X welcome to LGCY
We invest in the art of pop mythology
Martyrs were a gap in the market till we
Staked our claim to the industry
Buy a drink from Baltimore to Seattle
It’s on us if you don’t see our clientele
Talent’s tight but boy it can’t hold a candle
To sacrifice I’m saying suffering sells
So sign right here
Dom Peri or Hennessy?
Picture on three everyone say
Twenty seven special
(That’s our legacy)
It’s an intercontinental
Business of authenticity
Now that we’re in partnership with you
With your discretion we’d like to show you something new
Novels films and records were fine for a while
Taught the world how to die in style
Hack a cellphone from New York to Biloxi
The market’s ready for a shot of the sublime
Pain’s vicarious and pleasure’s by proxy
But we’ve arranged a date with the divine
So sign right here
Dom Peri or Hennessy?
Picture on three everyone say
Twenty seven special
(That’s our legacy)
It’s an intercontinental
Business of authenticity
And we’ll tell you this for free
Profit to prophecy and from prophecy to profit
(That’s our legacy)
And we’re never coming off it
Take the reigns and ride destiny
Mr. X how does it feel
To transcend this mortal coil?
All the spoils of earth and heaven waiting for you
(That’s our legacy)
Yes it’s waiting for you
So sign right here
Dom Peri or Hennessy?
Picture on three everyone say
Twenty seven special
(That’s our legacy)
It’s an intercontinental
Business of authenticity
And we’re telling you this for free
Profit to prophecy and from prophecy to profit
(That’s our legacy)
And we’re never going to stop it
Take the reigns and ride destiny
