Can you hear the sound of the waves, I can hear it from hear I think I’ve made it. Got another several weeks of this mayhem It’s a rat city It’s a luxury but that’s anywhere Gotta call ol’ Kelly and ask her for a thousand bucks A future woman on the twenty dollar bill Naked, or breast exposed just a little bit Scared of all the Midwest looks what will I be who will I be Kiwi meat? Will I stay on fleek or flea back to the city I got a couple questions about the last 10 odd years First one, Was I there Did we use the time we all had wisely Or did we squander it celebrating everything Posing, fearing lonliness growing bitter Or working for an upgrade status someday oh what could it be What neighborhood, a high rise with a view or cottage In the country side How to prepare for a major change Start selling, packing weeks in advance Will you cry on your last night? Comforted by courage Notify, or black Irish good bye? We ain’t playin’ – we leeeeavin’ Catch you on the flip side Can you hold the train doors open for a little longer Cuz I’m comin’ Had to drop the keys off, sweep and do a dummy check Pay my tabs, and square up with my bank roll friends I get the feeling this is not unusual, waving goodbye To the ghetto birds, it must be time for the show First a compliment to the millennials, it’s your turn to do the dance Does your tongue knot up when you say adieu, I do Send a shout out to the freelance freaks doin’ Lord’s work Makin Major Moves To the garbage men, to the barkeeps, to the up all nighters, 9-5ers

I want just a little bit of both You won't say his name And you would call me everything Don't beat around this proverbial bush Just tell me I'd be happy sharing This cake is something good. I want just a little bit of both Addiction, Sobriety My Privacy, Noteriety My Playground, My office space My Side dish, My Entreé Would you stay state side And gamble everything? What would you call this little game we're playing? A span of happiness I guarantee you Just ask the northern one

If I wasn’t plagued by rules I’d be a goner a goner If she wasn’t raised by wolves she’d be a goner a goner If she never searched for clues she’d stay much longer much longer Since we started this here shit, and the rest discussing – disgusting But just where did you pick up that accent And just how did you learn that foreign phrase And how is Sam in Vancouver connected to Jess in The Hague And just who the hell’s hair is this anyways It’s not from the hair on my pillow And why do we fashion these circles infecting the people we know? Try pulling a fast one while nobody’s looking The contract expired with memories binding A system installed, there’s safety in numbers Sand against grain If I wasn’t plagued by rules I’d be a goner a goner If she wasn’t raised by wolves she’d be a goner a goner If she never searched for clues she’d stay much longer much longer Since we started this here shit, and the rest discussing – disgusting Don’t know how I can tune up an engine Nor how the Floridian escaped I’ll tell you again and again and again But my words fall on deaf ears too late You know you must walk on the inside When it comes to the bill we both pay I’d never entertain laying hands on you But this mental warfare’s a game If I saw you right now I would talk to you Now you’re leaving BX for BK The Rules have been changed by our president Our love is a scepter Try pulling a fast one while nobody’s looking The contract expired with memories binding A system installed, there’s safety in numbers Sand against grain, my dear If I wasn’t plagued by rules I’d be a goner a goner If she wasn’t raised by wolves she’d be a goner a goner

Overcast Man 02:51
Daunting Beauty but they spend time in isolation Go on and speak now, cuz tomorrow you will wake to regret We found a balance for the scales were always tipping Look no further than the fingertips of reaching arms You’ll never know what the future holds Swim on young sailor, the ship you knew abandoned you for the shore Mild depression causing thoughts of hibernation Don’t you go there, we can help you just keep talking it through I saw your photo, an abandoned store for fabric The starkness moved me I came full circle on the meaning of death The Month she came and discovered how the clocks tick No it won’t be the same until you throw away the theories of time Frozen language as we wait for inspiration Still and silent, if we could only read each other’s minds You keep shifting to find a comfortable position You must remember that your weight is not the start of your pain Sun comes peaking through a cloudy days prediction Stop to feel it – Lift the shadow off the Overcast Man

Refreshments 04:02
It’s raining and I can’t find my glasses To see the storm dispelling to the west The shiver, it breaks my concentration And I can feel the start of virus in my chest He Bad She Band and both be bad together There goes the theory you always want what you can’t have She good She good and both have good intentions The radiance of true love understood Refreshments make all art go down easier A smash hit ‘fore the forgery’s exposed While supping slowly in adolescent spring Their chemistry their bond their comfort zone He Bad She Band and both be bad together There goes the theory you always want what you can’t have She good She good and both have good intentions The radiance of true love understood The seasons fail to please us all What’s spring time for the north, for south a certain Fall To witness staring from a distance Mother versus Father Nature’s brawl He Bad She Band and both be bad together There goes the theory you always want what you can’t have She good She good and both have good intentions The radiance of true love understood

If you’re facing the judge with a fist full of drugs all accomplices fled from your side The Responsible one feels the wrath takes the brunt of it all with a false sense of pride The Papers all follow you from town to town your exes all forward the mail For 36 moons little food on her plate She’s an outlaw in the Salty State If you’re still up at dawn feeling trashed like a pawn in the game all the animals play Light a candle to pray, light the bowl and relate to the wild ones, the witches, the slaves She fought for a freedom that doesn’t exist, what’s wrong with these people she’d cry Just four years to go and the case is dismissed, we’ll drive ‘round the boarder or fly The Shackles will fall to the ground Released from a spell for a while Her record was cleaned by the made Don’t punish a made up mistake Only two things to choose, either Jail time or Blues, the latter choice must make you stronger Be it one state or more, if you don’t know the laws, your sentence could stretch on forever The bright side of torture is stories for days The skeleton’s out of the closet The music is soothing, inspiring to boot, the slow moving sweet dissonance The Shackles will fall to the ground Released from the spell for a while Her record was cleaned by the maid Don’t punish a made up mistake

I’ll fall in with you, fall in love with you if you let me, If you let me I’ll fall in with you, fall in love with you if you let me fall in love with you If there’s someone else I know there’s someone else I’d like to meet her I’d like to meet him If it’s a secret I cannot keep it cuz all our friends know that I’m in love with you So it’s a secret, and you’ll keep it but all our friends know that you’re in love with me. I’ll fall in with you, fall in love with you if you let me, If you let me I’ll fall in with you, fall in love with you if you let me fall in love with you Do what you do I’ll do what I do I’ll probably see you when I see you It’s so confusing yet so amusing Amanda hates you cuz she’s in love with me I’ll fall in with you, fall in love with you if you let me I’ll fall in with you, fall in love with you if you let me fall in love with you Now Ivan Sunshine is spinnin’ that tune we used to dance to when I was in love with you And now I’m dancing and romancing with that girl that you love who’s not in love with you She’d like to meet me and probably beat me but I know she’ll fall in love with me I’m so happy for a happier you being happy for a happier me Yolo
