never a dull day
under the eye
eyes obtain stains
part of my pry
something to reign over
i want to!
stuck in the season
men are no lie
max over respite
denying her right
to make it a damn shame
excepting my pride
wail in the maelstrom
of my favorite lie
chorus
heathcliff surrounds me
deep shit drowns me
her eyes, deem me
i'm not the jackpot
torture me
the oldest results
come incomplete
every vault
is a seeded dream
wishing the hour
like it can defend
making a straight cross
to a bitter end
heathcliff surrounds me
deep shit drowns me
her eyes, deem me
i'm not the jackpot
torture me
why should we stop
stop as a staid
when we're making the ones
dainty and unafraid
just get in the need
just get in the light
stay dark in your eye
and stay wild in your height
heathcliff surrounds me
deep shit drowns me
her eyes, deem me
i'm not the jackpot
torture me

whenever i wonder
as the numbers fly right by
if i could reverse them
would i have a jump on time?
seems like i tumble
back to the go box
missing a stitch
adds nine to my crime
how did i slip by?
once in a blue moon
baby your timing wasn't divine
seems like i tumble
back to the go box
baby your timing wasn't divine
baby your timing was not divine
hold me back
we're getting younger every day
folks just scratch
their heads and point at me and say
she's leaps and bounds behind us
she's found a hole in time
she's 3 years old in mid school
it shows, it slows her down
she's leaps and bounds behind us
she's found a hole in time
she's 3 years old in midschool
if luck were a lady
she'd join me in my class today
she'd rewrite my birthday
rewind it back by just one day
then all of the numbers
would finally count away my blues
and no one would skip me
i'd eat my cake and have it too
every year
every year
every year

take a number and a dance card
take a number with your transfer
for 5 dirty bucks you can see the whole thing
you can ride on the red line until it turns green
you can check out the sights from the 217
'til you get there
a day pass is all that you need to survive
you've been here before, it's your absolute type
'til you get there
meet me in that middle weird seat
it's public we're safe i can't promise dates or times that i'll
ex communicate

made man demand a state of grace
19
made me look clearly to my face
25
i'm thrilled to be alive
27
i'm glad she misspelled heaven
29
inflated my mind
meet me in that middle weird seat
it's public we're safe i can't promise dates or times that i'll
ex communicate

smoooooth cruuuuuise
some call me slippery
damn skippy baby
there is no trickery
i'm only true
no blither will drop from me
i've made it sweetie
high calorie happy rub
surrounding you
they seem to slide off of me
those useless blues
your snake oil charm buried you
now every star's in line
in front of you and you
i'm covered in lube and speed
damn trippy crazy
derailing the fantasy
of only you
it's melting around my feet
the blacks and blues
not playing at goth or scenes
i'd rather cruise
they seem to slide off of me
those useless blues
your snake oil charm buried you
now every star's in line
in front of you and you and you
ooooh creamy smooth
my spirit's all groove
ooooh melty groove
will cover you

standing lasts an instant
subjective to be sure
stillness rare at present
instants less observed
my breath forms at the window
can't see past the word
clouded by my own mouth
clinking glasses cheers
chorus:
staring at the masses of the making at the moment
that could slide away just for the taking
if we just stand still
and I feel we will
if we stand ourselves
stand still
stand still
tugging tuning pulled strings
lucky pretty twirled
The words i make my standing
circle sugar world
coldness is forever
lovely and it hurts
now is full of balance
we have every tool to burn
chorus
handing each our fingers
painting out our fear
placing trusted secret
grabbing the absurd
every minor chord now
ugly notes get beauty first
Stand still
Stand still

Brave hands of men, gather ‘round
Our end deeply depends on a secret I have to spend
I’ve been let in and I will by all means extend
The caplet, the exact equation to unwin
This family, this round scene, all full and raining
Eyelashes and cocktails
And every last bent, fixed minute as my personal
Court of beauty queens
There is no wrong on our palms
There is no strong, armed underground hands
There is no wrong on our palms
There is no strong, armed underground hands
There’s no end
There’s no end
States of disappointment
Varying days of deployment
Eyelashes and cocktails
And every last bent, fixed minute as my personal
Court of beauty queens
There is no wrong on our palms
There is no strong, armed underground hands
There’s no end
There’s no end
