Happy medicine day to you, dear blues
Can you penicillin me in right after the aspirin?
Happy medicine day to you, dear blues
Can you penicillin me in right after the aspirin?
I’ve done a good job of staying out of your world
Please stay out of mine now
And speaking of versatile, I’ve got a virtual arsenal.
Supernovacaine! Supernovacaine!
An aversion to pain, fingernails and nicotine.
So happy medicine day to you, dear blues.
So before you blow out the candles
Before you open that lid
Just make a wish
Make it good
Here’s some water
Are you ready? Yeah.

Angular Momentum

Here’s a magnet
With all of its connotations
And all of it’s colorful engines
I can’t live without it
Hey girl.
We buy hugs like over the counter drugs
Gel-capped sincerity
Tranquilize me
Sometimes the stars move like race cars
Sometimes the stars hit me like race cars
Fire’s in the back
Fire’s fine with me
Let me listen here
The lights went on,
our guitars were gone
That’s momentum
i’ll do what it makes me
Wherever it takes me.

One lively panic
Let’s all sign up and get it if we don’t already have it
Let’s plan to pack up and depart the planet
Sad movie
sans Billie
sans love
sans you and me
It’s unbearably
just so much to touch
so fucking frequently.
And I know
It feels green again at the end
And I know now
It gets green for me in every scene
Somebody pull me up cause I’m down
And maybe could you hang around?
Cause you know It feels green again at the end.
The big gig’s been forgotten
Let’s all dig in and listen
and revisit rock bottom
My pockets of gold
sold cause I never got em
(Come give it to me)
You didn’t let me finish
I didn’t get to pirouette on the deck in my mother’s image
It’s like seeing a cherished memory slowly diminish.
And I know It feels green again at the end
And I know now It gets green in dreams
and embarrassing
Somebody pull me up cause I’m down
And maybe would you hang around?
Cause you know It feels green again at the end.
I begin the untying
It’s a slight step up and to the right of simply dying
And I don’t wanna try
So i’m not really trying
And I find your remarks unkind
And I can’t just hit rewind
To erase your face forever from my mind.
And I know It feels green again at the end
And I know now It gets green and there’s no remedy
Somebody pull me up cause I’m down
And maybe would you hang around?
Cause I know It feels green again at the end.

Sitting in my stroller
Looking at your knees
I realized I’m afraid of everything, everything
All the scenes of little boy conflicts
Stolen bikes and popped balloons
Swim lessons and my confession of Insult-coated love from you.
But some people are more content with some
Me, I’m waiting for Agnes herself to come
Call me baby, baby
At least you call me baby, baby
why don’t you follow me
I’m so used to using
Blood from older bruises
Now look who’s losing
Different versions of the same contusions
Those days of young adult conflicts
I’m best when you aren’t watching
Your eyes are arching
And so soft and starchy
Some people are more content with some
Me, I’m waiting for Agnes herself to come
Call me baby, baby
At least you call me baby, baby
why don’t you follow me
When four lips make two
It makes a buzz like jazz
Buzz like jazz
Magic is so approximate Isn’t it?

A word of caution for those who Put up Christmas trees in June
Parcel out the space and make sure that you don’t move
That song is a discontinued car
And I know I’ll stray too far
And if there’s some resemblance
What’s the difference?
Make her eyes mine
Memorize my lines
Why can’t you read me right?
Kissed my love away In the van before classes
Traded the apologies for quarters
To bounce into glasses
Something’s brewing, I’m a brewer
And I’ve made the first cut
And if I can’t break the ice
I’ll make some more and freeze that door shut

Chicago Skier
03:39

Everybody’s got a mountain to choose
Roller coaster red and smooth
Here comes the press depressingly dull
And please stay atop that glorious hill
If you wanna be a Chicago skier
You’ll need a one to look up to
As high as the tracks do
As wide as the cracks through
Don’t come into this place
The only way out is downhill
Elite you up before you slide to safety
There’s a word called seniority
Spell it for me please
stop I can’t hear the process through the haze
Bath through rain
Somewhere sleeping
Under fresh and softened soil
I'm Breathing
Breathing
(At least I'm) Breathing
Everybody’s got a mountain to choose
Roller coaster red and smooth
Here comes the press
Here comes the pressure.

Model Trains
03:51

I need wheels
Cause I’ve learned to hate here
Her hair is there, what’s fair is fair
We all train like models train
I’ve whined enough for a gallon of champagne
Bam bam the winds from the lips twist
Sugar candy salty papa pepper gas flyer
It’s a fight till fine in the refinery
Steam vs, gasoline
Cough clean
I’m fine
We show our trains slow
We see so we believe
She can’t lose when she’s in use
We can’t use what we can’t loosen
We all train like models train
I’ve ran the rail but i’m back again
Bang bang boxer lovely gloves and ring finger
Shot this guy cold very down over raid bay
Push a little, pull more
Make the fool seem
Like a bomber pilot smoking a pipe dream
I’m fine
We see what we want
Here’s me in melancholy dress
Confessing to everything I never did
When you find me in the stomach
I’ll be humming
“I guess it depends on which appendage.”
