Downtown Side

I was standing in line, just killing time
looking at my phone in the sunshine
Sweat bead dripping like an ice cream cone
then I realized...
Was I even alive?
I coulda passed out cold on my walk from home
I could be bleeding from my head on the side of the curb
Am I dreaming that I'm even waiting for a dessert?
It was 9 to 5 I was just killing time
Waiting on a ride downtown side
Station glows in a brown light
Upright!
Based on the facts:
I'm pretty sure I'm standing up next to the tracks
I feel the vibrations moving up and down from my back
and then the knees go, edges blur
I'm swimming in a sinkhole
I guess it's not that funny anymore
Maybe I lost that light, and it's a heavy way forward
It was 10 to 5
Seventh inning wasn't winning
pitcher pours from the spout and it goes outside
Paddy cakes on the slide
panning to the middle wasn't much to decide
and I'm damned if I try (damn)
Standing in the river with a pan in my hand
I gotta black tie with a design
falling back down, falling on my back
I guess it's not that funny anymore
Maybe I lost that light, and it's a heavy way forward
I guess it's not that funny anymore
Maybe I lost that fight, now I'm falling on the floor

What if I climbed back down off the table?
Stopped mouthing off to the kids around the neighborhood
Put it in park at the farm market parking lot
I eye em as they try to buy the fruits of their labor
White smoke pouring from a 4-door truck and the stereo’s stuck playing Smooth Operator
Reaching for your gun or your sticking out your tongue spitting sibilant scum I’m like “cool see you later”
But wow
Who you gonna bark at now?
Where you gonna park that truck?
What’re you gonna drive around?
I know you like to back it in
But how you gonna back it out?
Oh you’re gonna fuck it up?
Or are you gonna pass the buck huh?
Oh my wow!
Who you gonna bark at now?
Where you gonna park that truck?
What’re you gonna drive around?
I know you like to back it in
But how you gonna back it out?
Oh you’re gonna fuck it up?
Or are you gonna pass the buck huh?
E-F-F-E-C-T pedal is it a signal chain maze or a short in the cable?
Alot of these songs might be long in the tooth like a phone booth dial tone smooth operator
Wow!
Who you gonna bark at now?
Where you gonna park that truck?
What’re you gonna drive around?
I know you like to back it in
But how you gonna back it out?
Oh you’re gonna fuck it up?
Or are you gonna pass the buck huh?

Not By Choice

Needing for what's not
It goes on
Wanting what it wants
It won't go away
and it says not today
not today
Oh it's not by choice
I'm toeing the line
And I heel after her voice
No it's not mine
Leave me on the lawn
Where I know
I'm only growing old
A cold hand holds me down
Pinned, hooked, I'm frozen now
Something says:
"Hey what's on your mind"
"Hey what's on your mind"
"Hey what's on your mind"
"Hey what's on your mind"
It asks one more time
and I'm left to write this signed receipt
and when it calls my name
I rise to my feet
but I fall back down again
Oh it's not by choice
I'm toeing the line
And I heel after her voice

Open Wide

Oh, let me dig that hole
Let me jump inside
If I don’t come out, I might not be well
Oh, let me dig that hole
I’m a pawn in stride
If I don’t opt out, I might not be well
I open wide! I open wide!
Oh, lemme dig that hole
There was room inside
So it just felt right to lie down as well
Oh, lemme eat that whole
I don’t need two bites
I ain’t asking twice, I want every cell
I open wide! I open wide!
Oh, let me dig that hole
And I’ll crawl inside
If I don’t come out, I might die
Cuz we’re cooking low
But it’s all we know
If we come out now, we might not be done
Just open wide! Just open wide!
Caught in the door but I need to leave
Save it for the mood ring
I don’t think I trust how I’m doing
Caught in the door but I need to leave
Save it for the mood ring
Hey I’m doing great, I’m improving

Here On Out

Hey, what’s that song you wrote about me?
Hey, what’s that riding on your shoulder?
Hey, would you show me when I’m older?
In the morning when we’re sober
And if you say you’re satisfied, I’ll be on the other side looking up
It’s all open skies. You pull me in, I’ll dry my eyes
Hold me in your mind. From here on out I’ll take my time
Hey, what’s that floating on the ocean?
Wait, I think I’m feeling an emotion
It’s all open skies. You pull me in, I’ll dry my eyes
Hold me in your mind. From here on out I’ll take my time
I’ll take after you, give me one more reason to
I’ll take after you, give me one more reason to

Dammit every track makes me smile. How did you do that? If a friend recommends this album to you, hang on to them because they're just as fabulously messed up as you are. I'd like to thank my bank for allowing me to buy things online again. Thank you. Everyone. Thanks.
