Amoeba

Pass me back the kite
We can share it if you like
Drawing circles with our feet
Small enough that our shoes meet
I was standing on the street
I can't see the ground
Words pass between us
So let's just be silent
On a bed by the window
Like amoebas in water

Hot Dog Party
02:37
|

Gonna have a hot dog party even if it's with myself
Walk to the gas station
A pack of franks and three Natties
I'll use the bottle return and then a little EBT
I'll send my friends invites
On what I like to call "the Web"
It's gonna be a blast even if it's really dead
How many hot dogs can you fit in your mouth?
I tried to go past four and then it went really south
Then we can play some Tony Hawk or maybe Sonic 2
But you have to bring your own controller for the Gamecube
Yeah! We're gonna rage it
And eat hot dogs all night long
Have another beer son
And wash it down with another dog
(chorus)

Permanent Vacation
03:57
|

Hey Dr. Something
I can't feel my mind
Maybe it's the pills that you're giving me
I cease to exist when I close my eyes
So I guess I'll try
Taking my chances and leave your offer behind
Isn't that how this works?
I take your hand for a second then stomp it in the dirt
Of course I'm fine
'Cause I know you'll ask sometime
I'm being abducted by my head
I sink to sleep
And in my dreams I'll find a girl
I'm on a permanent vacation from the world
Hey all my best friends
And my just friends too
You may think I'm happy when I'm hiding
But that's not true
I'm not the one that's walking away from you
My hands aren't even on the wheel
'Cause I'm a god damned fool
It's hard to fight my automatic flight
Even with guilt and sleepless nights
Is it too late?
Are all these bridges burned?
Since I took a permanent vacation from the world
I woke up with a shout
How long have I been out?
I feel like it's been at least days
To hell with fate
I'm sorry that I'm late
I took a permanent vacation from the world

When the sky is falling
You can't see me cry
And the night is calling
So I close my eyes
You're like cigarette smoke in the rain
Just one kiss then you fade away
I just don't know what else I should say
To the cigarette smoke in the rain
All I hear's the whiskey talking
It must be closing time
I guess you'll find me walking
Into a sleepless night

School Days
03:47
|

Remember when we were in school
If we even attended
Throughout the day if we'd get bored
We'd walk right out that door
We'd play our friends in Super Smash
and we were always the champions
We formed so many god damn bands
That never really played
Remember the first songs we wrote
Man they were truly atrocious
A microphone taped to the closet door
and amps that barely worked
When we'd try to sneak out at night
To see what we could get into
Gluing porn to people's doors
and throwing parking signs like spears
We thought we were invincible and that it'd never end
Remember when we first got drunk
and stayed out until the morning
We stole your mom's lame boyfriend's booze
and sang weird shit all night
When we'd go to the grocery store
and play like we were a big deal
A tape recorder on the sidewalk there
We must've looked insane
We thought we were invincible and that it'd never end
Remember when we were in school
I don't think I could forget it

Don't Need a Body
02:57
|

You don't need a body
When you've got nobody
You're just a lost soul in the road
Just hitch-hiking for a breeze that'll take you somewhere else
Even though you know it's never gonna change
You don't need self control
When life's a carnival
and you're the freak show that's screaming on the stage
You can kick 'em in the head
Who cares, 'cause once we're dead
They may remember, but you won't
You don't need a body
When you've got nobody
You're just a lost soul in the road
You can't be told where to go
When you yourself don't even know
So never be afraid to go away
You don't need to be beautiful
To see when something's beautiful
You can be a devil or a dog
Just hold hands with sincerity until death do you part
And without regret you'll disappear

Rubberneckin' boys on the run tonight
Rubberneckin' boys on the run
Rubberneckin' boys on the run
Rubberneckin' boy #1 says that he's got some meat to fill that hot dog bun
Peein' on the wheat while he claps his feet
Plays the Jew's harp never skips a beat
Rubberneckin' boys on the run tonight
Rubberneckin' boys on the run
Rubberneckin' boys on the run
Rubberneckin' boy #2 is drinking Sweet Baby Ray's from a cowboy boot
Winkin' at your dinner with a meatball eye
All this rubberneckin' gonna make you cry
Rubberneckin' boys on the run tonight
Rubberneckin' boys on the run
Rubberneckin' boys on the run
Rubberneckin' boy #3 declares he's rubberneckin' you after he rubbernecks me
Lordy up above won't you save my soul
All this rubberneckin's gonna take its toll
Rubberneckin' boys on the run tonight
Rubberneckin' boys on the run
Rubberneckin' boys on the run

If love is a science then I'm a mad scientist
Trying to destroy my own heart
and I guess I kinda look the part
If love is a science then I'm a mad scientist
Trying to break my heart just for fun
Just me and my instruments doing lame experiments
Trying to shape a song into a love potion
If love can set me free
I'll make sure it's 'cause it's killing me
I want love like cement shoes in the open sea
If love is a science then I'm a mad scientist
Trying to destroy my own heart
Singing to myself on a broken shelf
Trying to craft my lyrics into cupid's dart
But I'm not that much a man
Here's to hoping that you'll understand
I'm just a low down bum trying to drink my way back to dry land

What do you do when you're troubled
I guess I'll have a beer
'Cause isn't that what it's there for?
To make your conscience clear
But just as soon as it hits you
It kicks up all of the dirt
All that shit you thought you were over
Well man this one's gonna hurt
'Cause I drink to forget, and this is what I get
The way you said goodbye appears before my eyes
I'll see it 'til I die, or at least until I'm dry
'Cause I drink to forget, and this is what I get
Now I'm trying to go faster
To get ahead of the race
When I think I see the finish
Turns out it's just your face
I hear your voice in the distance
Saying, "Have a drink on me."
Well if if just gets me past you
I guess I must agree
So I drink to forget, and this is what I get
The way you said goodbye appears before my eyes
I'll see it 'til I die, or at least until I'm dry
'Cause I drink to forget, and this is what I get

Where I've Been
03:05

What's become of you my dear?
I guess you'd ask the same
Why now do you cross my mind
After we played our game?
I had spare change and beer for dinner
and the leftovers for breakfast
and I can't tell if it's that or you
That's making me feel nauseous
'Cause I want to fall in love with you again
Or maybe it's just lonely where I've been
Blinded by the garbage
Sun is poison to my eyes
Walking 'round like road kill
'Cause I can't lay down and die
I'll admit I'm nostalgic
Maybe too much for my good
The engine in me's dying and
I can't pick up the hood
You may think I'm overdressed
For digging my own grave
I figure if someone shows up
I might at least just shave
'Cause I want to fall in love with you again
Or maybe it's just lonely where I've been

Here's to losing yet another day
I'm always losing everything else anyway
Because I never try beneath my selfish pride
I'm just a coward with a heart I'm scared to find
So turn the page, here's a lie I even tell myself
So I'll believe it when I tell it to you
And though it's true
That I'm dying just to change myself
I guess I just feel safe being in last place
'Cause I hate me more than being alone
and I think that you would too
If you only knew just why I'm being alone
You'd turn around and go
I guess I'll stay in bed another day
I'm running out of other ways to run away
I've been pretending I've got nothing to say
But the next page is cluttered with what I'm much too afraidj
Of you to hear, so please accept the lies I tell myself
'Cause I hate me more than being alone
and I think that you would too
If you only knew just why I'm being alone
You'd turn around and go
So believe it when I tell it to you
Although I've not been true
I'm dying just to change myself
But I just feel safe being in last place
