Pals forever, pals until the end
your logo, my logo blend
together, cover up the hem
I'm Detroit, you're Paterson
This is what it feels like when god holds you in the palm of his hand
I lost my sister, she could not be saved
I guess she was born too gay
One more thing, before I go to bat:
I'm buying, I'm spending. HA.
This is what it feels like when god holds you in the palm of his hand
Pals forever, pals until the end

How You Lie
03:09

STEAL // CHEAT // LIE
I know the order of this great big world
I can tell a guideline
I can tell the difference
between mothers and fathers
So many fathers in the waiting room
joking with the doctor
I will be so different
I'll know when to stop pretending I know what's best for everyone
That's
how
you
lie
I saw the movie about Vietnam
now I know how that ends
now I know what now is
now I know just everything
just about everything you need to know to go and talk about it on TV
There is no money in it, baby blue
it's all over now
it was just beginning
I don't think I know just how to finish much of anything
That's
how
you
lie

Nirvana, If Only

I see the mountain for what it is
I like to think it would be meaningful
not to survive
in fantasy I am an Elliott, I am unkind.
I see the mountain for what it is
in fantasy, I am an Elliott, I am unkind.
Nirvana, if only!
I'm bound to wander all through the night
in fantasy, I am the OP, I am alright
I see the mountain for what it is
a fantasy, oh I am Elliott, but I am alive.
Nirvana, if only!

Easy Money

I lost money, it's okay
it was probably meant to be anyway
Easy money, easy go, it's okay
like my dad said, "Keep your head up, it's okay"
Oh it's a lot to take in
all of the memories hot all under your skin
You know it won't be okay
you know it's all you can do to keep up with your friends
It's a whole lot of blue
it's a whole damn lake of the stupidest blue
And it's bright
and it's blue
and it's all you can do
to remember your name
it's all over your face
and it's yellow and blue
and it used to be good
and it used to me
and it used to be
used to be you

Me & My Bros

I'm on this side
over the palisades
me & my bros
we dress the same way
I know the cut of each one of their coats
you are not one of us
I pull the legs out from under your house
now you are one of us
We bought a van
took it across the bridge
me & my bros
we sell the same things
I held the door for as long as I could
you were not coming through
I love the way that I know how to love
that is the rub of it.

This Might Be True

1. When we get back from LA nobody will follow us.
2. The neighbors won't remember everything we broke.
3. The dogs will still be barking, laundry still be hanging.
4. Don't worry if I reach my hand up to my face.
I guess some of this might be true.
5. I got a lot of boxes full of all my CD-ROMS.
6. I know you couldn't say it, it was a disaster to go back.
Yeah, it looks like New York is a good idea for a few...
7. I could see how you might take the train to Rockaway
& rock away
& rock away
& rock away

Oh, The Old Days!
04:18

Once around the parking lot
once around the school
once around the garbage pile
I'm nobody's fool
Oh, the old days ain't that young anymore!
Keep your own biography
it can get you through
fence all of your property
I'm nobody's fool
Oh, the old days ain't that young anymore!
Once around the parking lot
once around the school
Jesus was no carpenter
and I'm nobody's fool
Oh, the old days ain't that young anymore!

See you later little painter
it's a heavy breathing, nothing more
You were minor, I was massive
every couple has their thing, nothing more
Uh oh
Exclamation points all over
I think it's a time
Have a drag, now supplicate it
I think it's a time
How I love this, how I love you
how I love the buddha on the bedroom floor
See you later little painter
it's a heavy breathing, nothing more

#1
We got our number one
but did he get any sleep?
Not one wink
Halcyon, Detroit is cold
so let's run down south
where we can give this another run
Anyone who has the lions can have the drugs
could we be any more lying?
Halcyon, Detroit is cold
so let's run down south

Leave Us Alone
03:34

In the blue-colored air
of the morning tomorrow
I'll be wishing & wishing
& wishing for water
When I wake up I'll go out
my mind will wander
to whatever the screens are pushing that day
I'll pick up the newspaper
shade my eyes
from the look of the loneliest
looking my way
All the corrections are making me dizzy
so I'll put down the numbers
I don't know
what they mean anyway
Kill me in the morning or don't kill me at all
I'd much rather die when the day is still young
kill me when the sun still can't make up its mind
about whether to shine or just leave us alone
In the purplish daze of the evening tomorrow
I'll be wondering why I feel so late
I'll talk up so much that the words become music
and the music will sound like the end of the day
& the end of the week
& the end of the month
& the end of the year
will all happen someday
Kill me in the morning or don't kill me at all
I'd much rather die when the day is still young
kill me when the sun still can't make up its mind
about whether to shine or just leave us alone
Kill me in the evening or don't kill me at all
I'd much rather die when the day is all done
kill me if the sun finally makes up its mind
or gives up altogether and leaves us alone
