I cross my fingers, I hope you'll stay I stick a needle into the hay I cross my fingers, I hope you'll stay I have been hoping my life away

No Show Bird 03:24
I am buffing out scuffs Hoping it’s enough I’ll be buttoned up in my haircut Spring wound In case you’re around But I don’t say a word You don’t see any feathers on the no show bird Can you hear my heart against the door If I don’t say a word? Keep you in my, I keep you in my mind Wrapped up in bright red twine You’re the gymnasium captain Holding court I’m a rainy day dollar short But I don’t say a word You don’t see any feathers on the no show bird Can you hear my heart against the door If I don’t say a word? One day my heart will My heart will give in My heart will give in to To my heels

"Why can’t you take my love?" My baby coos to me "I give it to you freely I pinky swear" "Tell me where you’re stuck" My baby coos to me "When you add it up honey Try to be fair" You deserve the moon Let your heart enter that forbidden room I need you to see you the way that I do, so you know You deserve the moon I am not enough All I got's a stick of gum Can’t you feel the holes oh honey Give me your hands This is not a bluff This is not a run around Every touch is another con Each kiss a scam You deserve the moon I just won't enter forbidden rooms I need you to see you the way that I do, so you know You deserve the moon

Hello my devotion, diversion, psychosis Four eyes and two noses Lips whisper explosives Aw everything’s fine shoot me into the sky I just wanna die Everything’s fine everything’s fine Hello my destroyer, paranoia, sequoia Branch off you before you Become my heart’s employer Aw everything’s cool I’m a fool in the middle of whirlpool Everything’s cool, everything’s cool

Woozy Woo 04:04
You broke me down Erased an “I”, misplaced a “my” I don’t mind On your couch Feet in the air, upside down Head on the ground Like oooh Dusty pink and baby blue Oooh Floating in a woozy woo Oooh I got nothing to do Oooh, oooh Call me tomorrow Vouch for tonight So I know it wasn’t a dream I remember the way you looked at me — like I was a hieroglyph — like I was a rubix cube And I twisted under your gaze until I was like new Now we’re two pens on the same page making figure 8’s — PB & J — I’m amazed I'm tripping and falling into place Like oooh Dusty pink and baby blue Oooh Floating in a woozy woo Oooh No one to be, nothing to do Oooh, oooh

Big Love 04:49
I wasn’t empty until you poured Listening to burned CDs in your accord It wasn’t much to look at from above But in the small I was called to Big Love When it calls you can answer or ignore Try to work out how much of yourself you can afford Well here’s a vein, take it all my sleeves are up Talk is tall, but I lay it all for Big Love I’m hearing Byron, Byron, McCartney, and Rumi They’re in the swimming pool, floaties on and calling to me I held my tongue, I held my tongue before But now you’re puffing me up I might even use a metaphor For Big Love

I could be your cowboy We could eat spaghetti in one long noodle getting closer and closer and closer Aw pay attention to what’s in front of the curtain I got a trunk full of things to cover up my head with Or I could be your balladeer I always wanted to slick my hair and kick back on top of an obsidian grand piano I got the casanova recipe here somewhere hold on It’s equal parts smoke and shiny surface I could be your tea pot You can polish me up and take me home to your mother I can draw you flowers with a feather, I can seal my lips with wax I’ve got a can full of anecdotes optimized for delight I could be your astronaut I’m more decorated than a christmas tree or an equivalent object used in human rituals I can be from out of town, or a jungle planet with obscure records I’ve got five fingers on all of my hands

Paperbacks and double features, oh no Under the boardwalk and the bleachers, oh no Every line and every look Torn pages from a book My love is real Ketchup is not what’s in my veins It’s under a mountain of chocolate Bottom of a vase, inside a heart-shaped locket My heartbreak must be broken, oh no I’m running out of tokens, oh no Who was I to be hopin’? To wash out the soap in it? My love is real Ketchup is not what’s in my veins It’s under a mountain of chocolate My love is real, I swear I have the proof right here in my pocket
9.
You make me sick The way you actually exist When you were a dream I had length in my arm and your edges were lost in the mist Forgot I could ache I was the stillness on the lake But you are the wind and I’m aching again, oh excuse me there’s been a mistake And this is gonna hurt, uh huh, alright Hard to keep my heart on the inside of my shirt, uh huh, alright I hate the way I live and die on every letter you type And your name sticks out in conversation like a terrible beautiful knife I am a chandelier In a category 5 typhoon And all of your hypothetical kisses are tearing the walls of my room And this is gonna hurt, uh huh, alright Hard to keep my heart on the inside of my shirt, uh huh, alright

Oh my heart, it is dragging Dizzy dog caught a disease Oh my name, it is swollen But it ain't saying to much for my feet Oh I can see an ending Through a golden reminisce Oh only one more exit But I am stuck in this Perpetual Evening Evening babe Evening Evening Oh my days, they are bleeding Needing more than a band-aid I need cosmic neosporin and a glass of lemonade Oh I can see an ending No it won’t take a ghost Oh only one more exit But I am comatose Perpetual Evening Evening babe Evening Evening Perpetual Dying Dying babe Dying Dying
