Jesuit Pope 02:18
Mama always wanted a Jesuit Pope She didn't want me to grow up and be no dope Mama always wanted an engineer She didn't want no musician, let's make that clear Mama always wanted, a man of the cloth She wanted a front seat at that heavenly troth

Wanted 02:28
I never wanted it this way only thought that if I did then you would stay I think we knew it all along always knew you would end up in this song

My Sweatshop sweetheart writes me notes Left in "Made in China" coats She sings the blues in prose from tuán to qī chǔ I found notes in my Nike sneeks I hadn't heard from her in weeks The melody she weaves is not to be believed I found her picture on my phone and now I'll never be alone One in a million, so far from home I wanna run away with her I wanna take her home

Trip N Fall 03:40
I trip and fall, over my words You rattle chains, chase me away I walk down every street, your picture haunts me everywhere Every alley hides a warning I can't stop to hear All I do, is run towards your voice watch you dissapear I wrote you off, words fell apart You credit me, Im not that smart You walked away from me, you had to get away How was I to know that this was our last day Last time we spoke it was in anger Last time I saw your face There was no embrace No last embrace

Cover you with Amber light Cover you with Petals Sweet & Sour Heavy Metal She said hello my pretty flower you get better by the hour My exploding super Nova Fascination still not over I will play with you my famous flame Linger on the longing game I don't know what has been said Bad thoughts running round your head Words could never do, what my hands can explain to you

All of my children are bold & beautiful All of my children have gone away You have one life to live As you search for tomorrow A guiding light in a secret storm As the world turns All of my children are bold & beautiful All of my children have gone away All of my children are Young & Restless All of my children have gone away Ryan’s hope is for more soap Painted dreams to help me cope In general Hospital kept me alive These are the dreams of the days of our lives The are the days of our lives

Vickey Vomit 03:57
Spinning round her orbit Rolling in her space Nipping at her heels They’re gonna end up on their face Laws of attraction at the YMCA brunch when she starts to feel it, she just starts to lose her lunch Rolling round her orbit,rumors start to fly "Have you ever wondered why she’s never with a guy?" Vickey starts a band called "The Lesbian Rumors" Songs about zombies eating epileptic tumors The inter webs are scary, for kids like me & you Scary spider mutants, chasing after you But when you finally find him He’s been waiting there for you Now he’s spinning round her orbit Floating in her space No longer a pervert , he is lost in her embrace Lost in her embrace, lost in her embrace

Gone 03:03
They were here, only a moment it is clear only in thoughts re-appear fading away Gone long...... In a word... out of time, you were gone Take a look , now just a picture in a book Where did you go, can you hear? Did you just disappear They were here, only a moment it is clear only in thoughts re-appear fading away gone long, gone long In a word out of time, you were gone Take a look , now just a picture in a book where did you go, can you hear did you just disappear Gone long..... When your time’s running out and those left mill about trying to fill all those holes in your soul I heard what you said and I want to believe every word Your voice, come out of my mouth with out choice Hearing your words, I rejoice but its fading away

I don't want to tell you all those pretty lies Walk don't run, to watch you over analyze Wake up in a pool of sorrow Acting like there's no tomorrow I know that we've both been drinking So I know, Im not thinking anything You don't love me , I don't love that it is true So I wonder why I wander into you Glossing over indecision Making love with high precision Look at life, through a bottle Taking shots at full throttle Prophesied our last goodbye, now it is done Alibi, it made you cry now you have won Making marks with motel matches Growing nails for deeper scratches Stranger Things that nature brings
