Inside Out
04:27
|
|||
Ruffling feathers tonight
One duffel bag empty as a fight
Between the undercards
I’m in the truck eating wonderbars
Windows tinted from the inside out
Hope we don’t stand out from the other cars
But everybody’s got business to mind, move on down the line
It’s a dine and dash world don’t you find
The sick man mutilates and gets met with eyes blind
And Robert Jones does time
I’m not gonna resign
It’s mine for the taking, staking out
Mace in hand I’m here to win man, pony-trekking like Finland
Fork in the road less travelled
Tin man courage to 11, and I work hard
Report card: 7 seas like Sinbad
That won’t touch us, the ink’s no duchess
As much as we scrutinize luscious luxury
Cosmetics, blush I foresee 5 g’s in my clutches, so fuck it
Inside out foundation
Won’t take much for this to fall apart
Inside out foundation
Won’t take much
Back out, and book it to the tune of 65 in a 50 zone
Slow enough to trick a drone, swiftly roam through residential homes
Like the ice cream man, an ice cream van that's
High on change and low on cones
Fun time having, front seat navigator satnavving
Pinpoint mapping, location is everything, Tom Glavine
No stress no sweat nobody to catch us out
We’re not there yet, but I can see it now
Chicken chow mein sizzling, Champagne drizzling
Shit’s finna pop off, got soda pop fizzling, and we don’t stop chiseling
Sports bra dangling, soft spot tickling
Goosebumps tingling
Guzzling, guzzling, dizzying, dizzying
3 am sleeptalking to an officer
It was not me, go away, please, I freeze
Cause these suitcases of cheese
Can’t be explained or retained, so down the drain, though I do it in vain
I’m sane, I’m sane, I’m innocent
And this evidence is just incidental
I’ll show strange mercy, like St. Vincent
And dance myself clean like James Murphy
And pay dividends, any denomination, what you want?
Tontons you can live in, ten tents yeah I’m pitching them
Inside out foundation
Won’t take much for this to fall apart
Inside out foundation
Won’t take much

Colour of the Year
02:58
|

Bright red of the cranberry
Indigo plus burgundy
Everybody wants to get a glance to see the color of the year
Lime green and creamy beige
Gray silvery leaves of sage
Everybody's wondering what's gonna be the color of the year
It's the color of the year so
Rejoice and have no fear
Just a day or two until the color of the year is here
Love and cheer as the clouds of your life become clear
Chug a beer, hug a dear friend, paradise is near
But a mere moment later I was doubting myself
Got in my head like maybe colors are affecting my health
I'm a stealth landscaper
Colorful plan maker, black and white
The only language that don't need a translator
Blue-green of a mountain lake
Purple pedals of mandrakes
Boysenberry black, all have the chance to be the color of the year
Cornsilk yellow and sailor blue
Dark cherry tomato hue
Everybody knows that anything could be the color of the year
Sunset orange and tangerine
Crimson mixed with aquamarine
But the bubble gum pink of your long sleeve shirt
Well, that's my color of the year
That's my color of the year, color of the year, color of the year
It's the color of the year and ain't no lullabies here
Shade of blue that'll nullify tears
Overdone like a culinary fear
Send submissions for the color of the year
The color of the year, now everything is clear, it's a blank slate
Can't wait to see the color of the year

Life is short, get wine
Get a coffee ‘cause you know it’ll make you feel fine
Don’t get bored, be free
And make sure that your deeds make everybody see
All the stuff and the fine bars to hang out
You surround yourself with are the best
So many people out there to make you happy, make no doubt
To use them, ignore the rest
‘Cause life is short, consume
Life is short, consume
Life is short, two feet tall
Consume, consume it all
Life is short, just two feet tall
Consume, consume it all
Cause after all life is short so, get a room get a room
Life’s a mess, get a broom get a broom
Take a test in the afternoon
Do you feel desolation, doom and gloom?
Then come book a stress-free getaway soon
Ain’t a better way to spend your
Legal tender, regal vendors to suspend your disbelief
When commander-in-chief says the world sees you like a peace defender
No retreat no surrender, living in a world ruled by money lenders
Pretenders, every one and they don’t have fun like a dry bartender
No retreat no surrender, living in a world ruled by money lenders
Pretenders, every one
But before you jump the gun just remember
Life is short, consume
Life is short, consume
Life is short, we’re here to make it last
It’s within your grasp
Go spend that hard-earned cash and make a splash

You have ended up being a middle-aged lonely drunk

Faux
02:36
|

Introducing Mr. I am the star of the show
On the hunt for validation everywhere he goes
Fiending for a compliment to stroke on his ego
Always frames the situation in such a way so
That he's on top or masquerading in the role of a hero
Handicapped attention whore, soaking up the quotes
They marvel at his smile, he glows, but that's gon decompose
Facts gon extricate themselves to the point where everybody knows he's a faux
Deceiving (he's a faux)
On this evening (what a faux)
Misleading everyone so easily
He's a foe, parading like a friend
It's easy not to notice subtle trends
Like how it always seems to fall to pieces in the end
Girls around him caught up in the moment once again
Once again, there's a pattern, what a pattern
But no one to observe it
So take the truth and curve it like some rings surrounding Saturn
As he swings around his kingdom now, but that's gon cease to matter
Facts gon extricate themselves, and they might just mobilize the chatter, he's a faux
Deceiving (he's a faux)
On this evening (what a faux)
Misleading everyone so easily
Deceiving (what a faux)
On this evening (ain't nothing but a faux)
Misleading everyone so easily
But not for long, these levees
Can't hold on and will be gone
In the blink of an eye we will right what's wrong

Lullaby
04:05

I want to show you
Where trains go 'cross the river
I want to see you chase the pigeons in the park
All your hopes
On which I don't deliver
Will come and scare you leaving your heart in the scars
And I will ask you to forgive me
For being just a lease version of someone else
On a rainy day
I'll take your soaking shoes off
And as you fall asleep, I'm going to sing to you
How good it is up there in heaven
And I will know that you forgive me
For being just a lesser version of someone else
When the things no longer matter
I might discover that I didn't lie
How good it is up there in heaven

Tense
02:47
|

Well I won’t miss this anyway
So leave your jacket at the door and take your pennies away
I’m all the way past the say yes at all costs state of affairs
I know you’re tryna set us up like table and chairs
I won’t miss this anyway
And if some things break right, I might end it all today
Bring about some disarray
Flourish with the situation tense and the saturation dense
Piss away the tick-tocks in sweats and flip-flops
They can’t find the key to happiness and try to pick locks
And you put up with the mediocrity and all the slick talk
So you can hit ‘em with the quick shot
Call to action
Gone just like the urge that came
Upon us back then
Nothing’s gonna change without
A call to action (action is your call)
Gone just like the urge that came
Upon us back then (back then we were nothing)
Nothing’s gonna break us out of phase
Well I won’t miss this anyway
Thought police on patrol with the goal on display
Shut it down, shut it down like a monitor
They monitor every step, follow it and say there’s nothing wrong with it
And tell you life is all the rage
Got state of the art junk and you’re on center stage
And you’re making a nice wage
Dog you ain’t free, you just live in a nice cage
Well I won’t miss this anyway
There’s greener pastures that are on the way
And between disasters they hunker and pray
And consolidate bunkers to hide in the shade
And you’ll try to evade but the freight train’s coming
Gunning for you, nothing to do
Call to action
Gone just like the urge that came
Upon us back then
Nothing’s gonna change without
A call to action (action is your call)
Gone just like the urge that came
Upon us back then (back then we were nothing)
Nothing’s gonna break us out of phase

Here and There
03:19
|

Here and there
I see fear in the air
Wind blows here and there
People go here and there
Who's heir to the throne? Chopped off dome like Robespierre
Prepare for the most unfair fortnight of your life
As we cut to the chase like fork to the knife
Knife to the steak, steak to the pie, pie to the face
And then get taken to town by the very same folks that you tried to replace
And pace, up and down sidewalks with everybody telling you to cut that out
But you stay locked in to the Beats so any criticism put forth you just shut that out
I don’t know what that’s about, he ponders, wonders
Wanders around living on clout nine
I think it’s about time to rejigger the line
Here and there
I see fear in the air
Wind blows here and there
People go here and there
Not a moment too late or a second too soon
Yin to the yang like bride to the groom
Riding the waves, tide goes in, tide goes out, terns go south
But you don’t move a muscle and watch the hustle and bustle
From afar, puff the cigar, air, lean back on your armchair
Life ain’t fair, but we fare pretty well
Lost a friend? Hard to tell from the chats you’ll hear
In the place we dwell
Onwards and upwards, mademoiselles
Pranksters, gangsters, rooftop bells in the air
It’s all for one like health care
We pick up the pieces here and there

End the Laughter
03:38
|

You thought you’d end the laughter
But now you’re left with this sweet and sticky anger
So hide behind sunglasses and pretend you’re self-sufficient
You thought you’d end the laughter
But then you wake up early on the morning after
Make up caked on, looking like plaster
Impending disaster, governmental shock
Man somebody call the cops like eleven nine backwards
The masters, they know better than to muck around pedaling
To sharps about a lizard man, flat earth
Save it for the cast-offs, the bachelors
Catch ‘em in the kitchen, weaving stories like patchwork
You can’t deny how well it fits together
Back against the wall, and it’s all now or never
It’s what you felt inside you all these years
Always had that hunch but kept it sleeping right between your ears
Time to let it breath, set it free
Try as they might they won’t counteract the energy
So hide behind sunglasses and pretend you’re self-sufficient
Feed off the snark, carry it, carry it
Sharks aren’t supposed to be pescatarian
You thought that you would matter
You have ended up being a middle-aged lonely drunk
Don’t ever dream of getting out of this
I think we’re better than this
Man, I know we’re better than this
Let’s rise above cause we’re better than
And we won’t let ‘em split us up, nah, we’re better than this
Welcome to almost there
You thought you’d end the laughter
You thought that you would matter
You thought you were worth something
All in vain
Welcome to almost there
