If you’re feeling tropical Take a ride on the pineapple birthday boat Fire on the plate (x4) Shrimp fried rice Remember its warmth that night If you’re feeling tropical Break the lantern Been a while since nice occasion Did you like collapse in grass?
3.
It’s corkscrew Then cock’s crow Then fox/hound Then head home We pick fights Then fight fights This thing’s like a termite Baggage We carry on bags We’re punching out windows Hide things that we’ve done Not stick together It’ll all be undone Blue light Light my way home (x2) You feigned rolling eyes even And said, “I’m only little” And this lonely pillow holds a head full of (£££) Cheesecake crumbs And they say that most dogs die virgins nowadays But you never could You never should You wouldn’t
4.
Overachievers success rate dropping And you wear those blue, fun shoes all night All night Murmur Say what you will I’m tired of feeling dope and ill (x2) So… overachievers achieving I don’t know too much at this point in the story I find it boring If life is a game and true love is a trophy You could be that gold vase saying, “Hold me, hold me” Perfectly shipped watching Casino on a little TV Deep sea dhow in East Kentucky You slipped on the rainbow dance floor With perfectly shipped hips Yes, they were perfectly shipped You get me You hold blue gravity Aramis across the ocean And a fucking retarded babysitter who won’t shut up No, she won’t Let’s party
5.
Give me friends that I can fuck up Hand a light, so that I have got a chance To maybe find your room when it’s late And I’m so tired Take away everything when you know I shit myself at change But I’ve got my eyes On her dad’s haikus And I can finally buy The money I’ve been searching for all my life And I would lick the cut of a former bite Of a sandwich that brought you delight Because in a way… I’m so dangerous And I know that I will see this to the end In which I die A catastrophic disappointment in God’s eyes
6.
Empress, you are sitting on my queen Empress, you are taking all the food But don’t take the cake Don’t disrupt me while I’m sleeping Hammer and nail (x4) Don’t disrupt me Fill my stocking Twice repeating Whitman glimmering (x2) I know that you’ve been attacked But not brought back, I know that I know that you’ve been attacked But not brought back by me

8.
Your clear, gummy fingers ring And when this happens I’m quick to forget that I ever knew anything I tune in, K.F. 93 I get lost and go left To find the place where I almost got everything right Stay away and she’ll finally love you For what you are A far away and dying star Absolutely nothing is what you are Cool, creamy, and totally dreamy (x2) Wigburg Come find me This time I swear I won’t say something childish
9.
Bonavista 02:41
Whether or not it’s sacred It’s something to believe in On a rainy day You’re memorizing license plates In the off chance you befriend a cop And he can tell you who ensures her
10.
Master Milk 04:55
If I could, then I would Battle strength of will in the form of myself An asshole who never needed second chances Because he was kicked out immediately the first time And all I need before exiting Is to feed on the light of someone else’s work In the parking lot (x2) This side of the highway is fine for now Because I can still see the other This side of being human should be thrown out in the garbage Eventually, when I am ready After everyone else is ready That fact would be cause For contempt if I didn’t pluck myself From reality constantly And I know you’d get lost If you started looking (x2) I am foaming at the fucking mouth To tell you everything I know about... But I won’t
