How original can you be?
When you stay in a state of shame
Walking around like a kroger brand Morrissey
Watered down in all but name
You can take an educated guess
Why apologies are all I have left
If you can connect the dots and fill in the blanks
There are some secrets of mine you’ll find
I fully aim to take with me to the grave
And if you feel like you’ve ever been had
Then don’t call it it a comeback
Cuz I can make you regret
That we ever met
And that every memory could be erased
Looking back it almost makes me laugh
If it wasn’t so damn sad
If you can connect the dots and fill in the blanks
There are some secrets of mine you’ll find
I fully aim to take with me to the grave

Is 'Madman Across The Water' still your favorite album?
You should really go back to those gold sounds
Just cuz it’s new don’t mean that it ain't for you
But then again
Maybe a change would do you good
Ain’t it hard
When you fall below your expectations?
And I've got no expectations

Baby I’m shellshocked
I’m your doomsday clock
My wires have been tapped by your Eastern Bloc
I was cast upon the rocks by an air raid siren
And a screaming came right across the horizon
While the space between us has only managed to widen
I built a career as your three mile island
You called me Oppenheimer when the days were simpler
And a summer fallout led to nuclear winter
I’m pulling threads
I’m pulling threads
I’m pulling threads
Close your eyes
And just hope for the best
Who sucked out all the fun from the room?
We were talking about the future but it looked like a mushroom cloud
And now with the best of intentions
It’s only nice guy bullshit with atomic weapons
Oh the panic, the horror, your modern endeavors
A portrait of an artist as a fallout shelter
Just another fat man called destruction
Or a little boy with his finger on the button
I’m pulling threads
I’m pulling threads
I’m pulling threads
Cuz I’ve got the launch codes
I’ll choose the nuclear option

Over It

Waiting and you’re waiting by a bench in the park
And you wanna know where you can go when it’s dark
And you’re thinking to yourself that it’s going to get better
Better batten down the hatches and prepare for stormy weather
Cuz you’re over it
Yeah you’re over it now
Cuz you’re over it
Yeah you’re over it now
And you’re searching round and round trying to figure it out
Oh I’d take you as a lover but I’d only drag you down
And mercury’s in retrograde
You can only use that excuse once I’m afraid
Cuz you’re over it
Yeah you’re over it now
Cuz you’re over it
Yeah you’re over it now
And you’re dreaming of the days when you used to be young
But you wasted them away sitting right on your thumb
And you’re dreaming of a night where you’re never alone
And you’re looking for salvation from an app on your phone
Cuz you’re over it
Yeah you’re over it now
Cuz you’re over it
Yeah you’re over it now

I can’t look in your direction
I can’t look at your face
I can’t look in your direction
My eyes stay glued to one place
I can’t fall for my misdirection
I can’t stare in one place
No I can’t fall for misdirection
My eyes stare just in one place
I can’t look in your direction
I can’t look in your face
I can’t fall for misdirection
My eyes stare right into space
Into space

I’m just trying to survive myself
If society collapses then it’s just as well
I’ll be a new recluse trying to disinfect
The old tycoon trapped in the ego death
What’s the return policy on future happiness?
This might be the year that breaks me apart
If I’m being honest
A silent star for your silver screen
I’ll give you title cards that you’ll never read
Because my routine my go over your head
I’m telling jokes that you’ll never get

Is working to nearly die
To barely get by
Under the poverty line

Ever care again
About a band made up
Of 4 or 5 straight white men?

Seen you at Go
With your hands painted red
Oh they look quite guilty by your side
Put them near mine and everything will work out fine
It’s a hunch
I tend to think things over far too much
It ain’t helping
It’s a p-r-o-b-l-e-m
Maybe I’m reading this wrong
It’s food for thought
You’re the real imposter
I’m the gila monster
Still all the lights glow to the right side
That must be a good sign
And there’s only one thing on my mind
I only think about it half the time
I’d love to see you but I’m afraid I’ve already
Seen right through you

I’ve been thinking about your future
And I hope that it ends
I’ve been thinking about all of my friends
And how I wish you were just pretend
But then I just sit idly by, don’t I?
With my judgemental eyes
All of the time
Oh you think that I’m daft
Well I’m not surprised
And you act like
Just like a telephone tone
All alone
Well I hope that your casio keeps you warm
To weather the storm
Wherever the storm
And I can’t thank you enough for all your support
Cuz you’re an anarchist
And you hate politics
And you’ll even push a girl right out of your car
But one day you’ll break just like your brittle little bones
Yeah you’ll snap at the seams like a telephone tone

I misjudged the stars in my zodiac
Aligning for a panic attack
Still I skim through the read through
Measuring out my life by a diet coke spoon
Oh how long has this been going on?
The relapse is a lonely child waiting in the dark
He’s laughing at the rain
He’s scratching at the blisters in the pit of my heart

Mexican Coke

Edgar Allan Poe and a need to be seen
Waiting for the news on the BBC
It’s all doom and gloom and it’s gone too soon
Last night I dreamt I was Leopold Bloom
Wondering if it’ll be classic rock radio
Or a slower death by mid-tempo
Uncertainty beats the void taking hold
Slowly sipping a Mexican coke
And if you really wanted to go
I could tell you what you need to know
If one of these days things should get too weird
Down the rabbit hole to disappear
A summer of reruns at your feet
Listening to oldies while the district sleeps
I’ll find a ufo of my very own
I don’t really care how your garden grows
If we’ve reached the point where every word means no
Slowly sipping a mexican coke
And if you really wanted to go
I could tell you what you need to know
And if you really wanted a Yoko Ono
Or you wanted a Colonel Tom
All of my lefts are starting to feel right
And all my rights are feeling wrong
