Blank Stare
03:30
|
|||
|
Merged minds on a calm lake
sober planning to grow grey
and we all know how that ends
but I'm still pushing replay
You know what I stand for
but you make me leave my seat
I got no business on these streets
Going back to a blank stare
loose plans that I can't bare
and we all know how that starts
but I'm still going back there
You know what I stand for
but you make me leave my seat
I got no business on these streets
You know what I stand for
but you brought me to my feet
And now I never miss a beat

Looking for a Laugh
03:34
|

Am I just a sliver swimming in your skin?
Thinking that way kept me safe in second last
Wild imagination never got me in
to the cool club - thank you but I've gotta pass
out and when I'm conscious get up and go again
with a straight face, I go looking for a laugh
Chorus:
If it's New Year's I wouldn't know
given last year's forgettable lows
No guest, no show,
but grass still grows
Apologies to all my broken halves
Guess I'm looking for a laugh
Am I just a shiver running down your back?
Thinking that way, all I knew was to subtract
all I've ever wanted or needed in a flash
In a flash, I go digging through my past
All I've ever wanted...
mornings I'll never outgrow...
can't keep looking for a laugh

Cause for Alarm
03:55
|
|||
|
Under their heavy surveillance
human contact: none
Granted one mental hiatus
no red tape, just guns
Nuclear war in the making
nosebleed seats for one
Nothing much left for the taking
what's been done is done
And now there's no one left to shun
No cause for alarm
Let's play this down with more acronyms
Trying to win the good graces
of the muted sun
Raising a pint in high places
what's been done is done
Soften the blow before you're stunned
No cause for alarm
Such confidence in your acronyms

Newly Almost Fearless
03:37
|
|||
|
If you want, if you need
I'm newly almost fearless
In a pinch, in a rut
My bike is right out front
It won't be long
Chorus:
You've got some pain to pawn
I had places to be
that urge is gone
looking to you
you with the chin of a golden dawn
Oh, I've wondered what on you're on
If you want, if you need
I'm newly almost single
In a crash, in a flood
My bike is right out front
what could go wrong?

Midwest Sky
04:56

leather jacket short on sleeves
talking smooth but so naïve
I found love in a dangerous place
singin' oldies off the interstate
leather jacket short on sleeves
pizza face and soda teeth
I found love in the neighboring state
singin' "future's lookin' good at this rate"
chorus:
come distract my anxiety attack
for I'm here, I'm fine
but I love to double back
long hair, longer eyes
my mind on the west under midwest sky
talkin' smack in sunday funeral black
and I might act fine
but I always double back
long hair, longer eyes
sunglasses on in my search for surprise
every second I feel a little less
humbling I do confess
empty search for old ties
long hair longer eyes
you can't mistake the Midwest Sky

Fourth of July
04:17
|

|
You're first friend was a friend of mine
sad to hear he's finally dying
treat us so damn good and I never did know why
Chorus:
thinking of you come fourth of july
I'm thinking of you come fourth of july
Can you see his faces?
and what his faces say?
"just try your best and you'll do ok"
so this year I did my best to try
Will I see you at the fair?
I never see you anywhere
and that's enough to make a young boy cry
What wild adventure have you now
if you make it home please tell me how
'cause I've been left out here to dry
