rosemary: but every once and a while i catch myself being naughty and have to give myself a real talking to. but then, if i've been very good, for a long, long time, i treat myself to something special. they have been lugging me to parties for as long as i remember so tenderly when they rescue me from my square foot world now there she is smelling a record through the queen rolled up oh how she creaks the beds in my head most every night and i feel it's high time to give myself another chance but it goes hush when i walk in all i care for is someone i can wrap my arms around and call it square when everything i love crashes at your feet so i feel it's high time to give myself another chance but it goes hush when i walk in why does it go hush when i walk in? why does it go hush when i walk in?

monoface junkie colder than a dummy she don't like dudes that smile storming down the block old couples make her stomach turn she gets off reading safety labels monoface junkie getting up to shake a tree she don't like the song of the chickadee monoface junkie won't you be a sweet pea and shuffle close up to me? baby, baby, baby thought you'd like a daisy she says "god, you're so lazy stop trying, stop trying, stop stop trying"

Must Be Nice 01:36
must be nice to fall in love again must be nice to pounce on each other's pampered appetites your braids stick out like antennas picking up my thoughts unsaid must be nice to have a seat in the flying v must be nice to fall into and feel that love again your braids stick out like antennas they're picking up my thoughts unsaid

I Miss 03:21
i miss annoying you with the covers when i'd steal them and i miss the dead of night waking up throwing my arm around your lump but most of all i miss being sweet to you i miss country roads and waving at cows i might even miss evidence you've kissed the blarney stone but most of all i miss being sweet to you most of all i miss being sweet to you

No Clue 02:58
much like these monochromatic cheap checkerboard shoes i will break you in then wear you out until you're punching snooze sleep becomes your state of choice in a fort behind changed locks rattled by the slightest noise and legs twitching like a dogs dreaming of fields at your housewarming bash i will make it about me drink your brew and kiss your friends and never want to leave i'll invite my musketeers we'll keep the building up we will laugh 'til brooms thump on the rooves then pass out in the tub reliving tour catch and release, rinse and repeat maybe call it love there's a barmecidal supper this is emblematic of so as i lay my busy hands behind my vacant head staring upwards at your napping bulb i wonder what it meant but i've no clue anymore

i got up from a dream whimpering you're nickname can't return to sleep afraid to wake the same if this is what it takes i'll stay vertical forever rita it rains every moment you are missed hey it's not so strange as everyone insists nobody can do me in half as well as you

when you pick up my call it sounds like you're speaking with a telemarketer catching you at dinner after a long day you say "k, bye" i say "hey, wait up" how can i give you love when you have those coveralls on? i'm squishing silverfish in the refrigerator light so this is my life now i tried flying towards the light how it blinds when you open the door a crack it's as if i am wearing a white collar, suit and tie with pamphlets and tracts in my ironed pocket you say "maybe another time" how can i treat you right when your romper is still done up tight? watch me take these drugs and become my stunt double tonight so this is my life now i tried flying towards the light how it blinds this is my life now i tried you know what i'm thinking, don't you? you can read my soul right through my eyes see that i'm sinking deeper into the quicksand of my mind

a whole bag of goldfish and a mickey of whiskey is all i've really had this afternoon i'd feel like even steven to tell you that i'm leavin' but somehow i just say i'll see you soon i've been keeping heartache sleeping at an arms length but pretty soon something's gotta give i could settle for what i have and howl at streetlamps but i don't think that's any way to live when we hit a pothole we both dive in a foxhole waiting for the other to shine a light now your sensitive heart is breaking in the dark 'cuz your moon's just a sliver tonight well what have i got to show for a servant and a chauffeur but feeling trapped in the back of a black maria when i'm finally bored of drying your eyesores we could even say it's your idea (let's do that) a whole bag of goldfish and a mickey of whiskey is all i've really had this afternoon i'd feel like even steven to tell you that i'm leavin' but somehow i just say i'll see you soon

Hercules 03:54
rosemary: before i know it, old father day has gotten sleepy and gone to bed. when he goes to bed he pulls up his cover at nighttime to keep him warm and snug, and all over that blanket at night there are hundreds of little stars. make it go away bring me over spunk in a twist tie baggie today i don't really pray didn't think that anyone else was around save for my saviour i am writing the book on shot in the foot and so on and so on why do i toss you back in? you got more holes than a goth in your lip why do i even try? under a rock and the impression it makes you strong i'd be hercules i am writing the book on shot in the foot and so on and so on make it go away i am hercules

Jade 03:42
jade jade jade jade jade jade i took you down from tacks around my room jade jade jade a spinning globe brushes against your finger where will you be a year from now? jade jade jade the christened wick cannot return to white i fell to sleep and began to dream next to a whistling kettle i took you down off tacks around my room jade jade jade jade jade jade the christened wick cannot return to white

Longface 04:59
how do i speak my mind to you i wrote the book on shot in the foot how do i speak my mind to you i wrote the book on shot in the foot how you choose to treat me in the street is not my business tonight you take my face and make it long another year has never felt so wrong

Around Yū 03:05
it’s in the soap it’s in the water it’s in what just touched your lips and getting stronger it’s in the sunlight it’s in your black bowl it’s making headway to your head’s main chemicals let’s pretend for a second you are safe but i ain’t saying everything doesn’t revolve around yū it’s in the refinery coughin’ downwind it’s pushed up tightly to your ear like "where you been?" it’s in the backbone of a shadow and the hand of god it’s in the hick mobile home kids that cannot clot let’s suppose for a second you are safe hey i ain’t saying everything doesn’t revolve around yū
