I’m ticked off, rattling off things I learned on cable TV
I'm a clean shaven, tax evading, dumpster full of lithium grease
I'm an acetylene torch, back porch homeowner, I'm a suicide bomber shipped North from Oklahoma
Yea I'm the straw man strong man vector for the spread of disease
I'm the Narcan lawman walkin top of people with ease
Yea I'm the traffic court lawyer, stump speech paranoia, an accelerant in isolated parts of Illinois
Yeah, baby I'm gasoline
I don't know what I want but you know what I mean
Baby I'm gasoline
I don't know what I want
With a wink and a nod, hush baby you know what I mean
I'm the riff raff antivaxer, dropping like the leaves on the trees
I'm the pink tax trucker hats, hashtag that's saving the bees
I'm a Nazi apologist, bath bomb psychologist, a New Jersey Devil, I'm a comment section novelist
I’m gas station nationhood, spreading like a couple of flees
I'm a cancel culture, amateur porn watching, Redwood tree
I'm the Yankees, the Mets, billion dollar fighter jets, critical race theory hating southern suffragettes
I'm a bomb toting, bong smoking patio set, I'm a Keynesian economy, I'm credit card debt
I'm an apple pie genocide, I'm the devil below, you think you're safe up North wait til I melt all the snow
Yeah baby I'm gasoline
I don't know what I want but you know what I mean
Baby I'm gasoline
I don't know what I want
With a wink and a nod, hush
Baby I’m gasoline

Snowbirds

Times change, minds change
Why can't things just stay the same?
You're a wedge of geese, crumpled up receipts, an impacted wisdom tooth
In a month you will be gone, you'll stick your tongue in someone else's roost
You'll lose your keys, rest among palm trees, busy reliving your youth
But will you come home?
Snowbirds don’t have a choice, they know they’re bound to freeze
When days get dark and joyless and we shed our leaves
Us children will rejoice come spring but some will grieve
Times change, minds change
Why can’t things just stay the same?
A couple paint pot thieves, and a fresh set of sheets, oh how could I refuse?
Why leave any song unsung, I'll fill my lungs, and squawk out the good news
Another peck on my cheek, with winter on your beak, you're a stick and poke tattoo
It won't be long
Before you're gone
Snowbirds don’t have a choice, they know they’re bound to freeze
When days get dark and joyless and we shed our leaves
Us children will rejoice come spring but some will grieve
Times change, minds change
Why can’t things just stay the same?
Will you come home?
Will you come home?
Will you come home?
Snowbirds don’t have a choice, they know they’re bound to freeze
When days get dark and joyless and we shed our leaves
Us children will rejoice come spring but some will grieve
Times change, minds change
Why can’t things just stay the same?
Times change, minds change
Why can’t things just stay the same?
Why can’t things just stay the same?

KitKat wrapper stuck in your windpipe
In your rafters, eatin garbage in the moonlight
Coo coo coo
I don’t care for, I don’t care for, I don’t care for you
For you
Tarred and feathered, having gasoline insights
Hiding from the weather, that’s boiling up your egg whites
Punch clock noon hour, cigarette butt lunchtime
Whatever you can handle, is what's expected just to survive
Coo coo coo
Coo coo coo
I don't care for, I don’t care for, I don’t care for you
Eat our trash, we're busy rolling in cash
Yeah baby we don't care for you
For you
For you

Chickadee, you can eat the berries from my tree
Get drunk or abstain, and I'll do the same
Chickadee, what about the mess that its leaving
It's all over your clothes, thats just how love goes
There’s no one you oughta be
Losing your flock to see
Sing me your melody
And I'll take my chances
Neglect my finances
To sing it with you
Chickadee, will you fly me far from my worrisome
Family tree, we'll dine on insects and seeds
Chickadee, while you're busy dash diving, scurrying
Could you get behind, one dance in the pines
There’s no one you oughta be
Losing your flock to see
Sing me your melody
And I'll take my chances
To hell with circumstances
I’ll sing it with you
Chickadee, isn't there some pleasure in keeping
Your wings open wide, not glued to your sides
Chickadee, if I could I'd follow your fanciful
Flights to the sea, somehow you stay here with me

Cigarette

You're rolled tobacco, tuck your leaves in, nuthin left but smoke to breathe into
Late night television laughter lighting up the smog long after you
You're rolled tobacco, parkade people, hearts not used to beating bitumen
Break the skin and drill for oil, wipe it up, is this called closure too
Self destruction sold to people, can't afford the drugs you think they use
I love it when you give me cancer, fill me up with tar long after you
You're rolled tobacco, tucked your leaves in
Standby watch your whole world burning
You're rolled tobacco keep on breathing
In the mess you got yourselves in
You're rolled tobacco, tuck your leaves in, standby watch the whole world burning
You're rolled tobacco, way of living, cigarette, I can't stop missing you

Loo-loo-loonie
Almighty scholar of the skies
Almighty dollars in your eyes
Loo-loo-loonie
Stinking pennies in disguise
Snap at kids for saying hi
Too-too-toonie
Will I ever see you smile
Never bare your teeth in style
Too-too-toonie
Can a rookie run a mile
Put off certain death a while
Loo-loo-loonie
Is there pleasure being kind
Even if you are not mine
Loo-loo-loonie
You have to go away awhile
Will you come back before I die?

You say there's something wrong
Why don't they talk about it
It's stuck in your lungs
Just move along without it
The black and blue
Saliva spittin’ witness
Fly off to someone new
Take their pets as prisoners
Magpie
Magpie
Magpie
Won't ya please forgive us
A thousand human lives
Dancing in the fountain
Junior crowfoot eyes
From years too small to count em
Someone like you
You've lost the right to silence
The magpies view
Take their song through acts of violence
Magpie
Magpie
Magpie
Won't ya please forgive us

Corvidae

Just off the highway, you were picking the meat from the bone
My sweet corvidae, you wash down your breakfast with stones
Can you see the other side, with your big black eyes?
And your mouth open wide
You’ve got lots to say, why are you speaking your song at the floor
It's just a phase, you'll soon love your own voice once more
Why can't I divine any meaning
In your silk-screened cry, that’s endlessly repeating
You try to brush aside the smell of carrion flies in uranium mines, it’s stingin
Grow old and watch the world pass by from a telephone wire, where you’re sitting
You scratch and peck and bite
You might say goodbye, but I'll keep on singing
Hold your claws in mine
My sweet corvidae

Guitar, high life, feels fine
Mistakes are easily forgiven
Wet shoes, cold feet
Shut your mouth and keep on livin
You want to take me out tonight
you never liked my glass
Eye eye eye eye eye eye eye
My glass, my glass eye eye eye eye eye eye eye
My glass, my glass eye eye eye eye eye eye eye
My glass, my glass eye
Broke down, fed up, divide
Join with the police commission
No spine, hairline
You’re lying through the teeth you’re missing
You want to take me out tonight
you never liked my glass
Eye eye eye eye eye eye eye
My glass, my glass eye eye eye eye eye eye eye
My glass, my glass eye eye eye eye eye eye eye
My glass, my glass eye

Houseflies
02:58

I cried up on the roof
You put your shoulder to my forehead
I can’t quite tell the truth
You know that, and you adored it
We are houseflies
Drawn in by the mess inside
We are houseflies
And people make a mess, I guess
There’s something selfish in me yet
May it go forth unrecorded
Be happy every chance I get
To let my love go unrewarded
We are houseflies
Drawn in by the mess inside
We are houseflies
And people make a mess, I guess

Nobody Lives There

If your bones were a house I would soon burn them down
To the ground, cept your nails and your chimney
I'll spit on your bedrooms, and roll around in the ash, yea cause
Nobody nobody nobody lives there no more
It started off you were just tipsy
Your rafters they started to bleed
After it floods you will shield migrating birds with your insides
Are a ghost town that time hollowed out
With the help of the swamp grass and leeches
They called you unsafe and they all moved away
Yea and nobody nobody nobody lives there no more
Your water fell victim to commerce
Your businesses fell to the ticks
People asked why should I bother
Propping up your factories
When you don't take care of me
If your bones were a house I would chew you right down
To a mound made of marrow and tundra
Something will take your place, your property is pretty cheap these days
Yea cuz nobody nobody
Nobody nobody
Nobody nobody nobody lives there no more
