Like An Earthquake
He was 20 years old
with a future on hold
and a hole in his room
the weight drug him into
he was 20 years old
and had always been told
there's no easy way out
but he's still 20 now
she shook like an earthquake
she trembled like a building tumbling down
and everyone knows
now every one knows
for we who remain
there's no one easy to blame
but she knows for sure
we should be blaming her
it hit like a freight train
right through her chest and brought her down
cuz everyone knows
where everyone goes
a candle would light
his way through the night
but when it went out
he had no flame to reignite it

The Horse and the Car
there's no time like right now
there's no place like right damn here
cuz nobody knows what they're doing tomorrow
time's like an ocean
we're all swimming right by our past
just too broke and broken
to beg, steal or borrow
the eve of extinction
of a critical distinction
we're not special after all
prosperity gospel
like dirt poor hostility
still the car does the horse's work much better
opponent's components are outsourced to me
and sister transistor's electricity
there's no time like right now
there's no place like right damn here
and there's no space but outer
but nobody knows what they're doing tomorrow

Maybe It's The Medicine
It's been a week since I had dreams
and it's been three since I had sleep
and I can hear my heart sometimes
I got panic working overtime
maybe it's the clouds
yeah, maybe it's the sky
maybe it's the city water
am I going insane?
Yeah, maybe it's my brain
I ain't got not appetite
Maybe it's the medicine
I can't stop taking
Maybe it's the medicine
making me sick
My stomach hurts and I can't breathe
my body's electricity
I'm blacking out when I stand up
I probably don't take enough
Maybe it's the trees
yeah, maybe it's the noise,
or maybe it's the food I bought or
it's maybe in my mind
hey maybe it's time
I ain't got no appetite
a dollar a dose
you're not supposed to know
I'm misdiagnosed
I'm not supposed to know

The Unsinkable
Embers on the scattered street
edges white hot from the heat
the burning shell of the unsinkable
you're so good, you always are
good only gets so far
but facing it seems so unthinkable
we're sailing on the edge
and everything you've done
is everything you'll do
we don't have a second longer
so, say you love me again
before they drop the atom bomb
just hold my hand through the end
until they drop the atom bomb
I just want to be with you
while the planet breaks in two
we'll climb the hill and face the sun
and watch heaven come undone
while we're holding onto the impossible
as everything disintegrates
and the sky's replaced with fate
we're giving up on the improbable
we're falling off the edge now
and everyone you love
and what you have become
and I wish I was so much stronger
but say you'll love me again
before they drop the atom bomb
just hold my hand through the end
until they drop the atom bomb
I just want to be with you
while the planet breaks in two
she's broken
let her be
say you love me again
before they drop the atom bomb
just hold my hand through the end
until they drop the atom bomb
she's broken, let her go
I just want you to know
I love you so much more than life
and you don't have to say goodbye
embers scattered on the street
white hot from the heat
the burning shell of the unsinkable

The King of Oak Meadows
You wouldn't find him in a yearbook
he may not even have a last name
but everybody's had a good look
at his dragon walking cane
let's go
you wouldn't know it from his actions
but he's a little understated
and though his house is manufactured
you know a home is what you make it
i know he knows karate
I've seen his purple belt
Alien in a robot body
just a boy who knows himself
He's the king of oak meadows
don't let him catch you in his alley
don't let him catch you at the minit mart
don't you touch his hidden valley
or try to play him in Mario Kart
things really come together
when you stay true to your heart
may bobby reign forever
on the throne at the trailer park
he's the king of oak meadows

Mayhem, Mayhem (Forget This Number)
you try making it about you
I can do it without you
you look bad on paper cuz you are
beyond a shadow of a doubt, too
we are safer without you
I think you made your point out in your car
mayhem, mayhem
you have betrayed them
and if I choose to subvert thee
i know you're just gonna hurt me
you could never let me tell you no
your pointer finger is dirty
i see it itching to hurt me
the worse you are, the more you seem to grow
mayhem, mayhem
line them up, display them
mayhem, mayhem
we have betrayed them
you try making it about you
i can do it without you
yeah, I'm talking about you
we can make it without you

To Tell The Truth
loved you before I even knew
you once I did I love the you
that I had made up more than truth
I needed to believe that you
were a decent human so I knew
that I could be a good one too
I'm not over it's not okay
and so sick of out of my way
and I wish you would take some credit
or just tell me that you regret it
that's what I would say
to you
if I was gonna tell the truth
you're not the person that I need
I'm just a burden, I concede
another mouth you couldn't feed
it's over well before you die
I already said all that I
needed to for my own goodbye
I'm not over it's not okay
and I'm so sick of out of my way
I wish you would take some credit
or just tell me that you regret it
and that's what I would say
to you
if I was gonna tell the truth
I can't even count the moments
I counted on you for you to blow it
and that don't even count my sister
did you ever call to say you missed her?
that's what I would say
to you
if I was gonna tell the truth

Marble Game
I remember Florida with the back seat folded down
and finding Monochromio from the floorboard of the Crown
I remember MSN and Friends on IRC
I remember the rules from the marble game that we made up
I wasn't listening
down in Mississippi
I stabbed the dirt and missed it
and Double Mint for kissing
and Genesis but switched it to
Austin's Super NES
Sonic for Miyamoto
And I was tiny
and I would try to hide it
but I couldn't be sighted
if I need to be cited
and if I pick, I'd say sai
cuz I'm a regular guy
who plays a federal spy
Running to our past
We're technicolor kids
like honey in the hourglass
we're technicolor kids
It's funny how the hours pass
we're technicolor kids
like honey in an hourglass
we're technicolor kids
my hand was always locked inside my other hand
Making up dumb names, for imaginary bands
We dumped all the stolen bikes into the creek
I remember 2 am patrols of Powers Street
I wasn't listening
down in Mississippi
I stabbed the dirt and missed it
and Double Mint for kissing
and Genesis but switched it to
Austin's Super NES
Sonic for Miyamoto
And I was tiny
and I would try to hide it
but I couldn't be sighted
if I need to be cited
and if I pick, I'd say sai
cuz I'm a regulary guy
who plays a federal spy
Running to our past
We're technicolor kids
like honey in the hourglass
we're technicolor kids
It's funny how the hours pass
we're technicolor kids
like honey in an hourglass
we're technicolor kids
I remember yesterday
and man, I really wanna stay
I remember yesterday
the colors still blow me away

Gas Money
I never let myself be out of control
I never gave myself permission to grow and
I was scared that somebody would know
but mostly I was scared to be my dad
and I was angry for all that I'd lost
and all the history that I hadn't gotten
am I coward or am I a creep
or can it even be that bad
may I help you?
I picked a bottle up today
and put a third of it away
because I never drink that much
I can't believe nothing else came up
I'm pretty sure that I could count on one hand
the times that someone else has driven the van
like herding obstinate ghosts who talk
but mostly I'm just tired of loading your amp
may I help you?
I picked a bottle up today
and put a third of it away
because I never drink that much
I'm surprised nothing else came up
I remember what I said
it sounded normal in my head
look
can you pick me up
please pick me up
I got gas money
