you didn't do it
you did it
come on let's go
you're such a bad girl
get it, come on and let's go
set alarm
gimme an arm and let's go
it's such a hassle
venus de milo
it's in the eyes
but I don't know why
do you
nor, do you
it's citywide
but I don't know why
do you
nor, do you
you didn't try to be
I know but you
did it too long
you did it too long
to stay
just steady lie
say I don't know why
or who
nor, do you
nor, do you
nor, do you
we can throw it out
we can horde it
if we can't hide it underwater
we can take it outside
and destroy it
if we can't hide it anywhere
we can take it outside anyway
we can throw it out
we can horde it
if we can't hide it underwater
we can take it outside and destroy it
if we can't hide it anywhere
we can let it lie
just ignore it
if we can't hide it underwater
we can take it outside anyway

Screen Door
I am a screen door
Annoyance at best, unseen and ignored at
By a cheap whore** I have a thing for
I am a sadist who’s just found out
What I’m jaded about
She's enough sometimes
but enough's not measurable
he deserves some kind
of illustrious pleasure with her
she's almost some kind of a devil
devil girl
Need more time
I need more time
I am without her
She’s all locked up in a tower
And I’m at her street corner
I’m at her screen door
I ring, she answers
She’s now found out I pronounced her mine
she's got a body that haunts everybody
who sees her
she's kinda naughty and wants everybody
to need her
**Please note this is a concept album of stories about bad people. This particular song is about a stalker told from the first person perspective, and the verbiage here is that of said malefactor and in no way a reflection of our thoughts about women. Women are to be loved and respected. They are not devils.

In a Fire
02:54

lost my woman, to a man
and I can't
wait 'til I get my hands on him
if I can't have her, no one can
even him
Am I upset?
you bet I am
what I said and what I had in my head
didn't seem very close to being what I meant
I just saw her yesterday
and I said "hey"
but she didn't say it back to me
she just waved
hey
now I'm running
from the law
'cause they saw
someone confess
for a lessor charge
lost my woman
in a fire
that I hired someone to set
to get you charred
And she looked real pretty, but that’s okay

tricky road signs
tricky road signs don't matter to me
tricky road signs don't matter 'til the railroad comes
tricky road signs, don't
tricky road signs don't matter to me
tricky road signs don't matter 'til the railroad comes
I think it ripped my head off
I think it ripped my leg off
I think it ripped my head off
the train pays no fine
I think it ripped my head off
I think it ripped my leg off
I think it ripped my head off
the train pays no mind
as I lay here to die
I can make it useful on my own
I need to make a use of myself
think you need to pull some limbs down
that blinking light is useless as hell
we can make it useful on time

yes
yes, no
can
can, not
have
have, not
yes
yes, no
you're making me smile
throw all my care away
d-don't you meet my eyes
and get all scared away
d-d-don't you waste my time
and turn your head down
once you make those eyes
you're in my head now
it's unusual
that I be there
it's unusual
that I would care
she's unusual
but I don't care

Fuselage

in the air
as we plummet toward the water
we make land
we don't exit like they taught us
in the sand
laying next to me is a goddess
take her hand
as she wakes
where fate has brought us
we make friends
use the fuselage for shelter
we both win
cause I do so much to help her
after all
we're the only two survivors
we're both stalled
with a million miles to hide us
weeks commence…
let's pretend
all the questions
we've got answers to
we both have
nothing better to do
but to make sweet love
I got passed
all the answers
and the questions too
we both have
nothing better to do
but to make sweet love

Saddle

chasin' a bounty through sand pits
sleepin' on the road
wastin' away as a bandit
is all I've ever known
playin' the deal that I'm handed
fakin' a soul
pickin' up spanish like sanskrit
que paso?
I can die here in my saddle
I can die here in my saddle
I cannot see my shadow
I cannot see my shadow
had to make a stop at this gold mine
'cause I'm outta gold
I can always trade 'em some moonshine
shoot 'em, take 'em both
got a room up in some boom town
met a pretty girl, said
"I see your goin' east on horseback,
care if I go?"
you can ride here in my saddle
you can ride in my shadow
I could die here in my saddle
I cannot see my shadow
try to keep the sun off your face dear
keep your head down
think I see a sign up ahead near
to the next town
gotta beat the heat until sundown
then it gets cold
we can make it outta here somehow
only been a day or two out now
water's kinda low
and I'm really startin' to doubt how
far it's gonna go
ridin' with this latin girl's arms 'round
never lettin' go
need to be reciting my psalms now
the few I know
I can die here in my saddle
I can die here in my saddle
I cannot see my shadow
I cannot see my shadow

Like a lunar supernova
Like a lunar cosmonaut
I could sooner dupe Jehovah than get on it
If the rocket is safe the weather
Then the rocket is lifting off
It’ll stop at mach 11
Hypersonic
Pink trails
When the red heat hits the sails
I bet they don’t stay on long
Half awake and half disabled
I can make it halfway up
Think I laid it on the table
And I’m honest
An illusion is taken over
An illusion is taking off
In seclusion space is all I see
And I want it
The pink trails
When the red heat hit
Astrophysics can doom me
You’ll be okay
After all the elements consume me
You’ll be always safe

Romeo

Do you really wanna go?
You wonder what you’re doing with him anyway
You’re undercut
Do you really wanna know, you wanna what? uh huh
Hate to say I told you so
He’s wonders what I’m doing with you everyday
You know you’re caught
Even though you wanna show as if you’re not, uh huh
You don’t have a stone to throw
You took a rock and threw it through me anyway
You look a lot
Cuter when your audio is runnin’ hot, uh huh
Here’s your Romeo…
Every time you wanna go
You wanna stop or do you really wanna stay?
You know it’s not
Really ever gonna go, you want a rock, Uh huh
Do you really want it though?
You wanted out to do it to me everyday
You wanna shout or
Do you want a megaphone, a power amp? Uh huh
Nuptials are oversold
It’s all about whatever game you wanna play
Or do without
You won’t ever wanna go, when I’m around, uh huh
Here’s your ROMEO…

I come home again
I can still see him in your eyes
I'm not showing it
but I can see straight through your lies
I have not had enough of your body
and I can still savor tonight
I'm not gonna win
so I can just say it's alright
afraid of the wrong things
I can do it only for today
and I will do it only for tonight
so I conceded only for a day
so I deleted
all this from my mind
I can't see just holding onto it
cause I can't deal with all this over
I come home again
I can still see in the blinds
I'm not going in
so I can believe it's a lie
I have not had enough of your body
and I can still save it tonight
I'm not gonna win
so I can just say it's alright
