Alien Space Queen
02:58
|

|
She drives an old Trans Am
In sunset gold yeah
She's Trans Femme
A Demigirl dream
She's my friend
From a galaxy far away
I want you, I need you
My alien space queen
Reach out for your love but
It's out of this world
One day if your species
Should come to rule me
I wanna believe
We would live in peace
Shows me a charm
From the unknown
Deep black holes
And shooting stars
She glows in the dark
And sends me messages that travel so far
I want you, I need you
My alien space queen
Reach out for your love but
It's out of this world
One day if your species
Should come to rule me
I wanna believe
We would live in peace
She can't stay
Here in the milky way
Our little planet
At war with itself
Everybody's blaming someone else
I want you, I need you
My alien space queen
Reach out for your love but
It's out of this world
One day if your species
Should come to rule me
I wanna believe
We would live in peace
We would live in peace
We would live in peace

The Drugs Did Me
02:45
|
|||
|
Woke up face down in the rug
(I did the drugs till the drugs did me)
Passed out into your hot tub
(I did the drugs till the drugs did me)
Dirty feet, long greasy hair
Jesus Christ goes heroin chic
Checking the mail in my underwear and
Singing her name cause I couldn't speak
Used to cut such crooked lines
(I did the drugs till the drugs did me)
In a republican state of mind
(I did the drugs till the drugs did me)
Shock and awe in the mirror
There he goes (there he goes), there he goes again
Whiter than an Irish spirit
Everyone's best invisible friend
Psychoactive and taken captive
(I did the drugs till the drugs did me)
Had no sheets upon my mattress
(I did the drugs till the drugs did me)
I did the drugs till the drugs did me
Shakin' hands with a fallen angel
Took me for all I thought I had
I saw love but imagined danger
Ready to die just for a laugh
It's a miracle I'm still alive
(I did the drugs till the drugs did me)
Sends shivers up my crooked spine
(I did the drugs till the drugs did me)
I did the drugs till the drugs.. did me
(I did the drugs till the drugs did me)
(I did the drugs till the drugs did me)

Dylan Shades
03:25
|
|||
|
Read about love on a bathroom stall
Smoking cigarettes in the high school hall
Time passes and life goes wrong
Find something that works, try to hold on
The mystery of you
Captured my heart
Behind your Dylan shades
Is something beautiful and dark
We all want something real
And only tremble in it's shadow
You've been hurt too and so
Feel free to let me know
If you need to let me go
Modern love is a brand new game
You try and try to shake the shame
So many men cruise the park
Looking for love in the deep deep dark
The mystery of you
Captured my heart
Behind your Dylan shades
Is something beautiful and dark
We all want something real
And only tremble in it's shadow
You've been hurt too and so
Feel free to let me know
If you need to let me go
What goes up doesn't always come down
The sun gets lost behind the clouds
You can't always see what's really there
The road to faith will lay you bare
The mystery of you
Captured my heart
Behind your Dylan shades
Is something beautiful and dark
We all want something real
And only tremble in it's shadow
You've been hurt too and so
Feel free to let me know
If you need to let me go
Feel free to let me know
You've been hurt too and so
Feel free to let me know
If you need to let me go

Horror Of It All
03:18
|
|||
|
Tear drops on my dinosaur t-shirt
Just a little kid swallowing my pain
Like a piece of spat-out candy
First heartbreak never gonna be the same
Oh my God
The horror of it all
I gotta be myself now
Cause everyone else
Is already taken
So honey, let's shake it
Whispers in the hallway growing
Jenny says that she heard it from a friend
I was in the 12th grade bandroom
Giving head to the baseball captain
Oh my God
The horror of it all
Gotta be myself now
Cause everyone else
Is already taken
So honey, let's shake it
When my heart starts breakin'
I'm gonna dance to the pain
In the middle of the storm
In the freezing rain
Oh my God
The horror of it all
Social interaction (the horror of it all)
Driven to distraction (the horror of it all)
Physical attraction (the horror of it all)
Total satisfaction (the horror of it all)
Oh my God (gotta be myself now)
The horror of it all
Social interaction (the horror of it all)
Driven to distraction (the horror of it all)
Physical attraction (the horror of it all)
Total satisfaction (the horror of it all)
Oh my God (gotta be myself now)
The horror of it all
Social interaction (the horror of it all)
Driven to distraction (the horror of it all)
Physical attraction (the horror of it all)
Total satisfaction (the horror of it all)
Oh my God (gotta be myself now)
The horror of it all
Social interaction (the horror of it all)
Driven to distraction (the horror of it all)
Physical attraction (the horror of it all)
Total satisfaction

Pants
03:21
|

|
Everybody seems so bored, yeah they're so advanced
I'm laying down on a chaise lounge writing songs about pants
Dress me up or dress me down
Painted jeans or a ballroom gown
I know what it means to be a man
The world will try to wear you out
So wear whatever you want to
The world will try to weigh you down
So honey, wear whatever you want to
Powder-blue crushed corduroy strewn about my bathroom floor
I see a goddess, a beautiful mess
She knows the secrets beneath my breath
These days I don't use a crystal ball
She paints pictures on the bathroom wall
My life is like a movie on TV
But I'm in the commercial and they're selling me
And this world will try to wear you out
So wear whatever you want to
Yeah, the world will try to weigh you down
So honey, wear whatever you want to
(Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha)
(The world will try to wear you out)
(So wear whatever you want to)
(Yeah, the world will try to weigh you down)
So wear whatever you want to
The world will try to wear you out
So wear whatever you want to
The world will try to weigh you down
So honey, wear whatever you want to
(La la la, la)
(La la la, la)
(La la la, la)
(La la la, woah oh)
(La la la, la)
(La la la, la)
(La la la, la)

Ocean Drive
03:16
|
|||
|
Close your eyes and drift off to dream with me
Hand in hand
Beside the sea
Beneath the Casuarina trees
I'm feeling so alive
On Ocean Drive (do, do, do)
So wonderful I wouldn't mind
If it's the last day of my life
Seems like such a simple thing
To be with you
Ocean blue
Gold and green
I'm feeling so alive
On Ocean Drive (do, do, do)
So wonderful I wouldn't mind
If it's the last day of my life
I'm feeling so alive
On Ocean Drive (do, do, do)
So wonderful I wouldn't mind
If it's the last day of my life
Fine as it can ever be
Your lips are mine
A place in time
We'll never leave

Nightmare
03:42
|
|||
|
There's no other life I could be living
As I fix my makeup in the car
It's Friday night and I'm going out dancing
Here's to hoping I make it that far
Walk, walk, walkin' downtown
Through the alley dark as night
Where they're stalk, stalk, stalkin' me down
And I'm fearing for my life
Mama they wanna kill me
They got nothing better to do
The dreams they say they're having
Are a nightmare coming true
I'm so tired of trying to forgive em
Still I never understand the fear
Some people have of folks like me existing
I thought truth and liberty meant something here?
Walk, walk, walkin' downtown
Through the alley dark as night
Where they're stalk, stalk, stalkin' me down
And I'm fearing for my life
Mama they wanna kill me
They got nothing better to do
The dreams they say they're having
Are a nightmare coming true
I want all my friends to know I love em
Just in case I should disappear
I don't have much to leave for you but darlin'
Just sing this song and I will still be here
Walk, walk, walkin' downtown
Through the alleys dark as night
Where they're stalk, stalk, stalkin' us down
And we're fearing for our lives
Mama they wanna kill us
They got nothing better to do
These dreams they say they're having
Are a nightmare coming true

I love America better than you
Her dirty water and Her hotdogs too
Purple mountain tops
Jazz and soda pop
I love America better than you
Oh, happy independence
I hope you weren't depending
On we're all created equal to go live some kind of dream
And I'm not sure that sparklers
Or $20 parking
Is gonna get me free enough to hear the eagle scream
I love America better than you
Her dirty money and her hotdogs, too
Rich celebrities
Wealth disparity
I love America better than you
Hey Uncle Sam
I was raised a man
By a daddy who went to Vietnam
I guess he's doing better than his buddies on The Wall?
But old trigger finger strikes again
When it pulls on things he don't intend
Meanwhile his mind has wandered off somewhere down the hall
I love America better than you
Her dirty laundry and her hotdogs, too
Guns and culture shock
Fast food restaurants
I love America better than you
They say our Founding Fathers built a Christian nation
But nowhere in the Bible does God bless the USA
But at least he gave us Walmart
And the people that we call "the Indians"
Who showed us how to smoke tobacco
Now that's a good revenge
I love America better than you
Her Founding Mothers and her hotdogs, too
First Black president
Insurrectionists
I love America better than you
I love America better than you
Her crowded cities and her hotdogs, too
Land of immigrants
Queer Trans feminists
I love America better than you
I love America better than you
I love America better than you

Roll Your Windows Down
03:45
|
|||
|
You wearing Halloween costume wings
A guitar with dirty strings
I believe it when you sing
And change with the mood of your ring
Missing your sister at night
Sleep like a piano upright
Your laugh is like birds in flight
Shimmering in the light
Roll your windows down
You've got me hanging out the car like a kid
And baby to me, you're a rockstar queen
And I love you a million miles
Me, dark as the sun eclipse
Dancing on broken hips
Kissing the world on the lips
All of my dresses are slips
Bending the rules of the road
And laughing at all my own jokes
Nobody needs to know
I'm barely making the show
Roll your windows down
You've got me hanging out the car like a kid
And baby to me, you're a rockstar queen
And I love you a million miles
Remember you're right all along
I'm sorry for breaking the bong
I'll learn every word of your song
Sing it and know I belong
Roll your windows down
You've got me hanging out the car like a kid
And baby to me, you're a rockstar queen
And I love you a million miles
And I love a million miles

Bird
03:40
|

|
Alarm goes off
Sit up in your bed
Stretch your arms to the ceiling
Best laid plans
Slip through your hands
You've gotten used to the feeling
Why do
Anything today
When you could put it off till tomorrow
You're just fine
Pajamas and wine
You're happy keeping the bar low
Your head is up in the clouds somewhere
Bird who cannot fly
Flapping your wings as you go nowhere
Bird who cannot fly
The bird who cannot fly
Dopamine
Cortisol and weed
Oh how they ruffle your feathers
Perched in your nest
Red-eyed and stressed
Bracing yourself for the weather
Your head is up in the clouds somewhere
Bird who cannot fly
Flapping your wings as you go nowhere
Bird who cannot fly
The bird who cannot fly
How long can you keep whistling the same song?
(How long can you keep whistling the same song?)
How long can you keep whistling the same song?
(How long can you keep whistling the same song?)
How long can you keep whistling the same song?
(How long can you keep whistling the same song?)
How long can you keep whistling the same song?
Your head is up in the clouds somewhere
Bird who cannot fly
Flapping your wings as you go nowhere
Bird who cannot fly
The bird who cannot fly

Cry Till You're Laughing
02:48
|
|||
|
Morning birds sing
My meltdown's melted away
Thoughts my brain thought I should know
Put a boot on my throat
I took it in stride and replied
Cry, cry, cry till you're laughing
There's a sunny side
On the other side
Of all these lies that we tell ourselves
Just to have a life
Pretender
Believer
Keep on keeping on
If what you say is true
I can be me and you can be whoever you want
Cry, cry, cry till you're laughing
There's a funny side
On the other side
Of all these lies that we tell ourselves
Just to have a life
Sometimes
I'd find
That I was right all along
It was easy to feel so wrong
Cry, cry, cry till you're laughing
There's a funny side
On the other side
Of all these lies that we tell ourselves
Just to have a life
(Just to have a life)
(Just to have a life)
(Just to have a life)

Well I'd go anywhere with you
Run away if you want me to
I can see you now in the palest moon
Feel your heart beat fast, watch the world detune
Nothing matters now and it never could
They might steal your crown but I never would
Holding on
To my only one
Not a thing in the world is wrong
You're in love and you're young
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
A dark heart is treacherous
It's bleeding for the two of us
You're my world forever now
They could never stop us, they don't know how
And they say our love is the dangerous kind
And they chase us through these streets at night
Holding on
To my only one
Not a thing in the world is wrong
When you're in love and you're young
Keep your hand in mine
I'm always on your side
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Holding on
To your only one
Not a thing in the world is wrong
When you're in love and you're young
You're in love and you're young
