Rainy Day
01:36
|
|||
|
rain all along the river
with time it’s seemed to grow bigger
and now all that’s left is water
and it’s ending everything I call home
say, do you remember what it feels like
to have a garden growing without sunlight
the river runs with excessive water
it carries one too many to their slaughter
ebb and flow

Ruby Red

cut my tap
about around a year and a half
yeah how you gonna black my eye
when all I want is to be high
off my ass
the moment that I turned my head
that’s when you broke my tooth in half
and so I smiled ruby red
ruby red
for what I said, for what I said
through the door
I was tripping over Claudia’s boots
spilling myself on the floor,
not a dollar for the corner store
felt the kiss
of gravity between my lips
examining my battered head
I spat a mural ruby red
ruby red
for what I said, for what I said
off my ass
the moment that I turned my head
that's when you broke my tooth in half
and so I smiled ruby red

well I hope you know I loved you one time
I don’t know what you were thinking
laying on the floor playing rock and roll
oh my, how high you must’ve been
laying on the floor playing rock and roll
we found you in a magazine
oh how my tongue was falling out of me
I don’t know what you were thinking
laying on the floor playing rock and roll
oh my, how high you must’ve been
laying on the floor playing rock and roll
oh my, how high we must have been
gazed in your eye and you peeled off all my skin

black spot you've got another thing coming to you
you will rot if that’s what you choose to do
flee now find the first ship to take you away
jump ship before they find your head to put on display
watch out
there’s a kraken at your back and now it’s come to slay
you today
slay you today
weak arms been getting harder and harder to move on
close harm only seconds ‘till the end of your song
submit you’re deemed unfit to reach the shore
lose it you know for you there is no more
look out
there’s a kraken at your back and now it’s come to slay
you today
slay you today

Angry Little Man

angry little man
forgot to make a plan
he’s in over his head
he’s picking out the sand
from in between his toes
he huffs and puffs and blows
maybe he needs a friend
to help his thoughts ascend
komodo dragon heart
beating irregularly
busting through the gate
at twenty-four degrees
that’s when she saunters in
glistening lizard skin
adorns her head to toe
waddling to and fro

oh no
how could they have ever known
the magnitude that he had grown
how could they have ever known
how the rain starts to flow
guess that's how it goes
yeah that's how it goes
now his skin starts to creep
slides down to his feet yeah
and now we all know
yeah that's how it goes
and now the lizard sits and weeps
her only slightly pointed teeth
were once so frightening to me
how the rain starts to flow
guess that's how it goes
yeah that's how it goes
now his skin starts to creep
slides down to his feet yeah
and now we all know
yeah that's how it goes
how could they have ever known
the magnitude that he had grown (how could they have known)
how could they have ever known

Mr. Rogers gotta lotta jackets he puts em on he takes em off
all the kiddies and their irons they press em down they em taught
when everyone and their brother’s rushing each other
tends to make all the shirts they paved go to waste
they’re unphased no raise just another day to say
Mr. Rogers got some deep pockets he fills em up with all this stuff
all the kiddies and their irons they’ve worked enough it’s getting tough
when everyone and their mother’s feeding each other
tends to make or break you and by nine
they all whine and sigh as they try to figure why
they cry some die there will be no wine

know it’s been awhile since you were really free
playing in the river in 1653
and cars won’t run off arms
and yet yours was removed and
you buckled at the knees
(little Sophia bleeds) into the misery for all to see
you said (hey this ‘aint about me)
and now we all know, and now we all see
yeah that’s how it goes when you’re buried a top of gold
and now no one will go home
they’ll have to be removed and
draggen by the sleeve
(little Sophia bleeds) into the misery for all to see
you said (hey this ‘aint about me)
and now we all know, and now we all see

biting like a snake in the grass
yet sweeter than the flowers as they pass me by
I’m so glad you’re mine (so glad you’re oooh aaah oooh)
singing sweet songs all the time
Oooh yeah
I’m so glad you’re mine
fighting like a mongoose in the dirt
coming out the earth, I know you’re worth it all
I’m so glad you’re mine (so glad you’re oooh aaah oooh)
Singing sweet songs all the time
Oooh yeah
I’m so glad you’re mine
