Amoeba 02:18
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

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)

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

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

Hey Jealousy 02:50

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
