Kiss the Night
05:40
|
|||
Windows are down, your hair is blowing
Vacant parking lot, that’s where we’re going
Nowhere else to spend our time
Drunk on water turned to wine
Sunroof’s wide open, your beautiful body’s basking in the moonlight
I’m looking at you while you gaze at the stars ready to kiss the night
Kiss the night, grip me tight, rip me right from reality now baby
Kiss the night, grip me tight, it’s the sight I always wanna see
Our ears are perked all up and listening
Skin and seat are sticking, we’re one and glistening
You’re my star in this sky of lust
Constellations staring down at us
While the sunroof’s wide open the moon peers in, cloaks you in white
Tilt your head up, show me your neck as you kiss the night
Kiss the night, grip me tight, rip me right from reality now baby
Kiss the night, grip me tight, it’s the sight I always wanna see
SOLO
Kiss the night, grip me tight, hypnotize me like a pocket watch
At the park after dark, eyes’ll dart soon as you spot the cops
Kissing stops, you get off, windshield’s fogged, I quickly pull up my jeans
Cop tells us to stop and just escape back home so we zoom through the summer breeze
You drive me to my street, ooh I see a smile upon your cheeks, now baby
Kiss the night, grip me tight, it’s the sight I always wanna see

Crawl
04:03
|

I am the master and you are the slaves
This is the Rock Lair, this is my domain
You can hang me, eat me, beat me down
But you’re never gonna take my crown
My blood flowed through the veins of kings
You retain what pain my power brings
I have rotten control over you all… now
CRAWL
CRAWL starving cannibals, CRAWL ravenous animals
CRAWL
You’re all zombies to this mutant world
Which you thought was your oyster but I’m the only pearl
Endangered, mindless, military zone
My major hind is staying in this throne
Tightness on your leash ain’t adjustable
Convinced your country was untouchable
But your Humpty Dumpty nation had a great fall so
CRAWL, CRAWL
CRAWL, you got shin splints, CRAWL new-born infants
CRAWL
You wanna stand up to me? You make me laugh
March on my land, break the walls
I enjoy watching you helpless babies under my wrath
Cuz even real babies understand they can’t walk until they learn to CRAWL
SOLO
You’ll never have as much power as me
You’re grains at the bottom of life’s hourglass, see
How does it feel being nothing but sand?
Sometimes things don’t go as planned
And you end up getting walked all over
In a doomsday dreamscape death draws closer
You’re too damn soft where you need to grow balls
Too damn soft where you need to install
Some new damn software for now just CRAWL
CRAWL, no will to live
CRAWL, no will to give
ALL things ‘way when you’re dead
CRAWL, get it through your head

Eat Me Please
03:19
|
|||
I’m hanging by my ankles in a cave
Praying to the Lord, praying that someone come save me
Dangling above a steaming pot
Scanning ‘round the place, scanning to the right I see 2 vats of gravy
Then my eyes bug out of my head
I realize what I’m in for and I think I’d be better off dead so
Chorus
Stop with all the torture and eat me please
Lay me in a tray, drizzle on nacho cheese
Rid me of this horror and eat me please
All the blood is rushing to my brain
Losing consciousness, losing hope that someone bravely
Breaks into this murky dungeon
Before my imminent death, before my unknown captors bathe me
So right now I’d rather they ate me… I’d rather they ate me
Chorus
SOLO
If it’s my fate I might as well accept mine
Garnish the plate, I pair well with a red wine
Strip me down, don’t boil me in my clothes
Look up, your leftovers are right under your nose
Filet me up, stew me, sizzle me
Put me out of my misery
I’m begging please, please, please
Chorus/Chorus

I'm Gonna Come
02:25
|
|||
Your birthday party's on the nineteenth
Let me check my schedule, see if I'm free
I wouldn't miss it for the world
Cuz you're my favorite girl
To not drop by would be dumb...
I'm gonna come, I'm gonna come
While I drive down your avenue
I spot your mailbox party balloons
I'm gonna do what I feel
Though my palms clutch the wheel
I'm so close my hands are numb...
I'm gonna come, I'm gonna come
I park next to curb, walk in just to say hi
I had to find a special time to visit
From the hall into the kitchen I saw a girl who looked like you from behind
Said "is this a good time?" She turned and said "it isn't"
Needless to say, the girl wasn't you
You live in 203 not 302
She's in her graduation gown next to her mother on the ground
Her mother suffered a heart attack
She died right there on the kitchen-tile cracks
Turned to the grad asked "when's the funeral?"
She said "why? we don't know who you are..."
Told her "I feel bad about your mum, I'm gonna come, I'm gonna come."
"But we don't even know where you're from"
I'm gonna come, I'm gonna come, I'm gonna come,
I'm gonna come, I'm gonna come, I'm gonna come, I'm gonna come

I’m used to being with you every night
When I lay down in our sheets
But nowadays I just stare at the ceiling
And begin feeling incomplete
When I go home to the alleyways
It weighs on my skull, I’m ill oh
Sleeping without you is like sleeping without a pillow
I’m lost and yearn for your body
I toss and turn, I’m hot and burn cuz you got me
My head and neck are red and bent
Voice is hoarse, torso’s so sore, see
Cuz you ain’t around to support me
I’m used to being with you every night
Used to cuddle and keep each other warm
The bed was for in-depth conversations or getting in sexual situations
Guess now you’re in another swarm
You made your choice to leave and left me
Hanging and weeping like a willow
Now sleeping with you is like sleeping without a pillow
SOLO
I’m used to being with you every night
When I lay down in our sheets
I’m a mess, this address ain’t yours no more
You knew how to keep this house neat
Feeling blue, used and dirty
Like your bedside table dildo
Sleeping without you is like sleeping without a pillow

Place to Sit
03:07
|
|||
The only mode of transportation I see
Has five buckles, belts and five seats
There's six of us, you're asking "what'll we do?"
Jump in the back with me cuz I got you
Chorus
If ya need a place to sit I got one
Right here, my dear
If ya need a place to sit I got one
Try me, I'm free
Right here, my dear
We'll be alright honey if that's what it comes to
I wantcha to be comfortable, you're looking rather subdued
Don't be shy my love, I ain't just some dude
These are our friends, they know what we've been up to
(I can be your booster seat, baby)
Chorus
SOLO
We got a cramped Echo, not a 4Runner with all that space in back
So treat this seat like a marathon runner and baby, take a lap, because

Jaywalk
03:05
|
|||
Crosswalk’s down the block
But the place you wanna get to is right in front of you
Traffic pulls to a stop
Decide to make your own way, say it’s time to jaywalk
Like an unleashed dog, you’re
Running through the street reckless as can be
More dangerous game of Frogger
Which you’ve always loved to play cuz you love to jaywalk
Bet you’ll never get caught cuz you’re sly and no one’s watching where you walk
Think they ain’t spying??
Copman’s on the beat
He heard what you were up to, he’s here to stop you
But you got plan B up your sleeve
And it’s the perfect time to watch it unwind
Cars and trucks are passing then
You let your pet rabbit out into traffic
Causing a minor accident
Pulling the cops eyes away so he can’t see you jaywalk
SOLO
Crosswalk’s down the block
Night has arrived, the sun’s down but your trip ain’t done
Gonna try to make your final stop
Gone nuts like you just been spayed, final chance to jaywalk
Follow rules, that’s just absurd
Who needs to look both ways when you could just go straight
Take your foot from off the curb
Once your sole hit the street you were swept off your feet
You were decked like a spade because you aren’t allowed to jaywalk

Shut Me Up
04:09
|
|||
Got long black hair, wear skinny jeans
Got a villain’s gleam and I’m feeling mean
I’m a naughty man, like making scenes
And breaking things, got a snakeskin scream
And face skin cream, helps moisturize
Spots ‘round my eyes when my outside’s dry
But don’t get calm cuz I’m aware
That I don’t scare with my skin so fair
‘Fore I strangle you, give me a chance
To get my hand soap and wash my hands
And fix my collar, spritz cologne
Silence my phone, put Chapstick on
My lips were cracked now start to cry n’
And if anyone’s spying lemme draw the blinds and
Dim the lights so it resembles dusk
A romantic rustic atmosphere just
Stop your stalling and get ready to die
Don’t bother asking why cuz then maybe I
Will be forced to explain in a big monologue
Why I like to do wrong, to guess I would probably
Say that it all started back in my youth
When I lost my first tooth cuz of my dad’s 50 proof
So that made me cruel throughout middle school
I’d carry sharp tools, go against every rule
Maybe that’s why I’m here, I broke in your door
I’m not really sure I’ve anything to live for
Maybe that’s why I’m here, cuz I didn’t get love
Early life was tough… oh that’s just pointless stuff… shut me up.
Shut me up! Shut me up! Shut me up, shut me up, shut me up
So I can kill you
SOLO
You got long blond hair staring at me
Mascara’d cheeks, you’re unhappy
You’re not too pleased that I came in
Took your diamonds and smashed your window
It’s alright, I’ll be done soon
Leave a hole in you, ‘scape under the moon
But before I do that lemme check
The house a second time, I’ll inspect
Every room just to be all sure
I attained all your jewels and dollars
TVs and artwork up in frames
When I leave this place, it’ll go up in flames
I’ll light a match while you bleed and scream
Over soiled dreams doused in gasoline
That’s my master plan, now that I told you
Whatcha gonna do? Whatcha gonna do??
Oh right, you can’t speak because I duct
Taped your mouth shut so I get nothing
Not a sound from you, no words
Hey it could be worse, least I haven’t murdered
You yet darling, you’re in luck
I’m in an endless rut just spouting verbal junk… shut me up
Shut me up! Shut me up! Shut me up, shut me up, shut me up
So I can kill you
Wait, how’d you break your rope restraints?
Oh no this ain’t how things were supposed to play
Put down the gun, I’ll make a run
I meant none of what I said, was just a dumb stunt… shut me up
SHUT ME UP

Dream of Me Tonight
03:58
|
|||
Ask me why I’m here, ask you why you’re gone
Ask me why I put you into a song
Have to write about you in some kind of way
So I don’t forget ‘bout you when you’re away
I have never been a one-woman man
But these past 3 months have been different
I saw you most days then it abruptly stopped
Can’t tell if you’re okay with that
But I’ll say I’m not… I’m hot
Jealousy muscles twitch like Parkinson’s
A luxury Sedan, my body’s stuck to bask OH
You flipped a switch, now your mouth is on
Another man, all I can do is ask so…
Dream of me tonight, dream of me tonight
Dream of me tonight, dream of me tonight
Oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
Keep me in your heart, let roses grace your eyes
Don’t wanna slip away like I’m skates on ice
It’s been a June since we last kissed
Though I’m miles out, to you I don’t exist
Dream of me tonight, dream of me tonight
Dream of me tonight, dream of me tonight
I’m so sad to see the fun had with me
Is now over, please come back to me
Your majesty, please rule me, yet
You’re practically my Juliet
But you’re trapped in the lame school of thought
This tragedy has been retaught
I only want you, you’re gravity
If I’m being up front, you make me nuts, come back to me
Dream of me tonight (etc.)

Out on the third date with a lady I really want
We had Italian, we had Chinese, now we’re at a Mexican restaurant
She’d giving me eyes from across the table
And her foot’s in between my thighs
Tonight I’m getting lucky but I’m feeling uncomfy
With a stomach rumblin’ surprise
It just occurred to me
This is my biggest fear
Thought it was spiders or ghosts but no
Turns out I had no idea
Oh no, oh no, I’m gonna blow… EXPLOSIVE DIARRHEA
Of course this is the night she’s hot and heavy for me
I’m a lot of things right now but not one of them is horny
Back at her place I try to escape but she’s not having it
She’s feeling me up and down in the kitchen, rubbing up against the cabinets
SOLO
Couldn’t hold it any longer
I spoke up when she moved her hands to my hips
Started sputtering out a sentence
Sounded more like I was guessing spots in Battleship
Told her “I think I 8 something bad, I feel C 6 so B 4
We do anything else lemme hit the head”
Then I ran there and shut the bathroom door
It just occurred to me
This is my biggest fear
Thought it was spiders or ghosts but no
Turns out I had no idea
It just occurred to me
I probably won’t see her
Again after I pay her for plumbing repairs, it’s clear
EXPLOSIVE, EXPLOSIVE DIARRHEA
EXPLOSIVE DIARRHEA

Higher Than Before
01:54
|
|||
Every employee fears her
Our boss walks through cubicles while I’m
Kissing my futuristic mirror
Reflecting on my past, seeing how I made out
She knocks on my desk with her gold ring
Tells me to pack up my stuff and go upstairs, it’s time
I can feel my power building
Like my hand is touching the wall of the statehouse
I’ll tell ya what, I feel higher than before
Nothing compares to living life on the top floor
Now every employee fears me
I don’t joke anymore, a statue was erected
For me cuz I work so seriously
A working stiff, I’m a dick and I love it
The past me was a slob
I’m put-together now, I don’t need reflections
This is my highest job
Until God hands me his then I’ll be above it
I’ll tell ya what, I feel higher than before
Nothing compares to living life on the top floor
I’ll tell ya what, I feel higher than before
Nothing compares, nothing compares to life on the top floor
