Hang On To My Head
02:26

I've got a five year plan
just says hang on to my head
I've been trying not to forget
Or to forget I can't remember
Filled the basement with provisions
and tuned into the national radio
I'm doing my best
to hang on to my head
Hang on to my head
Been keeping my eyes on the exits
Looking for signs in my son's fairytales
Digging up my backyard
Swearing I left something important there
Seeing ghosts in the corners of my eyes
Wolves right in front of me
I swear there's some sort of vibe
some fucking dark energy
Hang on to my head

The day John Wayne quit smoking Walter Raleigh lost a friend. You and I were indifferent, we weren't even born yet. It was 1964 and everybody was smoking and remembering their friends who died before them. The day John Wayne quit smoking it had taken half his lungs. What will it take for us to quit beating ourselves up?
Goddam John Wayne

Something To Get Used To
01:53

I wanna be more than enough
I wanna learn to tolerate silence
I wanna live
I wanna die by my own accord
Doesn't that sound nice?
I wanna change the way I am
I wanna learn to fix how I'm feeling
I wanna laugh
I wanna get high
Doesn't that sound nice?
But it seems there's never enough of me or my habits
I want to break them
But doesn't that just sound nice (like something you could get used to)
OOoo oo oo oo

I never asked you many questions
I mostly just told you lies
For that I'm sorry
I apologize
I'm a wolf in wolves' clothing
I'm a snake with snakes' eyes
don't you love me
I knew your body
but I never let you know me
we had good times
we had good cries
feels like we're lucky we made it out alive
anymore I'm not so sorry
I'll still apologize
I'm a wolf in wolves' clothing
I'm a fire without the light
don't you love me

Ain't That Love
02:00

Everywhere I go I'm falling in love
but it ain't the kinda love you're probably thinking of
It ain't patient and it ain't kind
no better or worse if I'm just bad all the time
I warned you I'm not the committing kind
but you held on to hope that you could change my mind
I repeat what I said from the start
"Darling, I'm gonna break yer heart."
I can't keep blaming this on my youth
I guess I'll blame it on you
Ain't that love

I'd like to say I learned my lesson
I'd like to think I am brand new
I'd like to feel like it's all over
the things I used to do
Give a person long enough
I bet you they'll lose
the race against transgression
After all, we're only humans
I'm not sorry I trusted
a human like you
even when I hit the bottom
I thought I deserved it
Don't stick your neck out for me

Our Year Of The Spaceman
03:23

There is a darkness cast 'cross this land of light duty trucks and minivans. The shadow of these dads, the wrath of the family man!
It's on my hands in this, our year of The Spaceman. It's on my hands and I'm on my knees. It's on my hands and this year, everything is coming up sons!
I've drawn up rules for us to live by and a list of foods to avoid. We're getting out of the city, away from the city noise. (cmon boys)
It's in our hands in this, our year of The Spaceman. It's in our hands and we're on our knees. In this, our year of The Spaceman, everything is coming up!
*church organ
*Clappit out now, y'all
It's in our hands, Spacemans, and knees

Days of Skin and Bones

Those were the days of skin and bones
those were the days of hand-rolleds
those were the days of hate tabs and bad dads
and those were the days of love on the minimum wage
Those were the days of 4 a.m.s
those were the days of bad decisions
those were the days of sleeping in
those days were just for the kids
Back in December '99
we were in your parents' basement
You looked me right in the eyes
"Do you think we're gonna make it?"
