dead from the neck up and down i guess add up my HECS and i'm not talking to anybody call up your work tell them they're jerks don't return their shirt remind your brother that he owes you money let's watch our brains drip through our hands buy a bucket of paint paint warhammer all day be immune to the world outside and my sister she calls i don't know her at all i'm immune to the world outside no matter how far you're going the fastest path is just to stay where you are and stay not talking to anybody but i wanna belong i wanna play this song with the kids on telethon dennis commetti playing synthesiser la la la la la la la la la la la la la let's get lost let's get pissed crossed off everyone's list let's never ever talk to anyone but if you still feel forlorn drunk on the lawn if you're still feeling torn remind your brother that he owes you money

hiilary tired and shiftless took her sister to the topless bar the drinks were not even cheap man, cauterize the past don't call your ex don't crawl into his jeep but my head's in the sink my mind is burning each cemetary fills to a stop and you're never gonna get what you want that's the only thing that you've got go to sleep and dream of roofing shingles/ fading to a thumbprint in my jeans can't imagine the way you seem to think of me when the way i seem to think is so frightening it doesn't matter if the bar is open when you're haemorrhaging out on the floor a tidy list of things that you cannot ignore bring you back where you were before where there's no pretty white girls wearing lace on the riverbank

Stay Ugly 02:37
if you want to be free pick something to be be your own fansite man stay ugly neil young in his hearse will blindly reverse cos out there on main street disappointment lurks! go fly your kite! pull on that string and pull it tight feel sick? can't get up? are you coughing up blood? piss out the window, man who gives a fuck "go your own way" you can say it all day but in the kitchen at her birthday party forget what to say kiss your own face kiss someone else's face okay blasting witch house in your bedroom alone if you want to live don't keep it hid flush your head down the toilet slamming the lid own your albatross mentally floss take a lot of codeine christopher cross wouldn't it be nice? wouldn't it be great to be that guy

Masking Tape 02:09
if i wanna feel alone then i'll hang out with you the ground'll open up between us as we're kicking off our shoes i was gonna say something important i forgot it doesn't matter let the moment scatter if you wanna feel alone then you'll hang out with me i pull down the shutters man i put up the screens like when you're working at a bridal shop in flushing queens the moment shatters pretend it doesn't matter if i wanna feel at home i'll sing a borrowed tune everything is stolen in everything i do and whenever i steal my kisses from you if you wanna feel at home well i wish i knew i mean i know places you go and the things you do but you're only ever starting to begin to come to view i don't getcher i'd rather getcher but if i wasn't busy drowning i could probably stand cos it's all just sand and i do and i don't understand

all you wanna do is hurt and be hurt in return it seems like a lot of work do you have to break the skin to let anything in if you cut his dick right off would you hold it with a grin ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-huh i don't know what's true i don't know what to do with you he tied you in a chair and left you naked in the garden for an hour your dad came round to fix the shower he threw you a shirt you were very sunburnt face down in the flowers feel like a foot washed up on a beach you can pick him up the rest is out of reach a country song is just what you can't say straight to someone's face but still you're in my way soon there'll be nothing left to say and i will watch your ass as you walk away i don't know what's true i don't know what to do with you

no where to go and nothing to do there sitting in the library watching porn on the computer curled up in bed listening to meat is murder going nowhere fast I used to have a job but I quit it my mother guessed but I wouldn’t admit it we talk and talk around it like two virgins at a circle pit no one's gonna dive right in i tried to shave i only did one side of my face i'm on a lot of waiting lists i wait i liked him from his forehead to the balls of his feet but he’s a man in the way a cul-de-sac’s a street he treats me like he's cooking meat he pokes around at it then watches TV “is there a chance the track might bend” well, the path of least resistance always greets you like a friend take your hands off the wheel let the days bend walk up the stairs get some fried chicken total eclipse of the heart was on the station feels like a permanent vacation but my feet never leave the ground you're gonna have to snap out of it i know i know i know i'm caught in a trap i can't get out because i need you so much lately.

meanwhile dragging your car keys up and down and your thigh another from group therapy had shuffled to the sky midnight in the parking lot yellow arches high got ourselves in trouble got ourselves some fries someone jumps the fence to the playground to piss you can walk through the drive thru can't walk out of this (i'm loving it) what's the line at amps like? can we get in for free?

it's in my blood, man it's in my head in all the things i undid and said without my body could i remain without my body i couldn't say because i'm horrified i don't remember i can't explain but it hums in every frame you won't imagine being apart but i could ruin your life, man why would you want to start because i'm horrified (frogs)

Staying Down 02:23
out of food, went to town $15.60 shopped around down down prices are down it's too late to call it off went for a walk to buy some beer pram face down by the weir i don't know who's sleeping here it's too late to call it off but still the ants are back you want them killed you've got to pay automo'bills we can't afford any more spills it's too late to call it off values rising on the street people you want me to meet come and help me strip these sheets it's too late to call it off but still we just go climbing up that hill like the breath is always close behind us always warm and close behind us
