dancing in the night
looking very shy
do you like to fight?
I'm not that type of guy
doomsday came on a Tuesday
earth day came on a Thursday
Sunday came on a Friday
vacation for two
leave this pigsty
never take a bus
because I can fly

Told Me So
02:55

parents they told me so
and books they told me so
the internet told me so
and rock n' roll told me so
but I still don't know
talking in your sleep told me so
walking down the street told me so
turning up the heat told me so
saying 'trick or treat' told me so
but I still don't know
don't believe anything

bop it, pull it, twist it, spin it
bop it, flick it, pass it to your mama
you're a salt water sweet tea lady
hop on the bus and I'll drive you crazy
you're infused with a bucket of cold brews
I'm confused why you just said 'maybe'
bop it, twist it, oh stop it, you missed it
bop it, flick it, oh stop it, you're addicted

time after time
she loses her mind
fast forward life
that refused to rewind
time after time
I thought she'd be mine
out of control
where did she go?
time after time
she loses her mind
no time to react
and I want her back
time after time
she loses her mind
the thoughts in her head
should never be said
oh ow whoa

I, you, we, pronouns!
I'm comin' over
I swing through the trees
I swam through the swamp
and I'm aiming to please
I'm comin' over
but you won't know when
I'll zip line through your window
and bring my best friend
yeah yeah yeah
his name is Ned
yeah yeah yeah
he'll bring his friend

Couch

this couch is from 1961
I don't know why
I can date furniture accurately
it's like a special thing
so come over and sit next to me
someone said
you take the couch and I'll sleep on the bed
but my back is bad that's awfully sad
I want the bed instead
I want the bed instead

saw you on front page news
I can't read between your lines
If you smile more
you'd live passed 44
you're gonna die if you frown
all night and day that's what they say
oh please just laugh don't cry by me
if you're gonna be a curmudgeon
you'll wind up in catastrophe
saw you on front page news
I can't read between your lines

I'll ship it off to Texas in a flat-rate box
I do a lot of things that don't require sox
then I'm gonna send a fax for free
at my local library
then I'll do some things that I regret
like get a Bernie Sanders Chia Pet
hey man you look like my grandpa George
oh yeah? well this line won't rhyme with that
I'm second in line for a kidney transplant
but my homophobic doctor went on a racist rant
don't forget to leash your dog
be careful driving in the fog
no thanks, I prefer to live a life of reckless abandon
I'm so ugly that I can never have a stand-in
it's a tradition in my house to butter your green beans
if you can't do that then please just type me a letter in wing dings

Gemstone Song

it's a diamond world for a ruby girl
it's a turquoise stone with a topaz curl
it's a dark plot twist for an amethyst
where an emerald's grown there's a pearl unknown
