Jazz Chords 03:10
Down narrow streets Jumping from your seats On foggy nights Just to get a glimpse Inside the halls Where jazz chords fall And music lays to rest You get your fix On a Juno-6 Set to oscillate With your dinner plates Your roommates thought You should have bought A bass to be in the band But wait Just check out this lick I know See? I really make it go Sounds like Depeche Mode Drums like The Next Episode With guitar solo We'll play that club And blast the sub So loud no one can think

There's still a lot I need to figure out But if your hearts want to fight you better let them And if you just want to drift about You can be flotsam you can be jetsam Tell me lies More lies We could be perfect We could be perfect Except for that I don't know if it's worth it I don't know if it's worth it As a matter of fact Tell me lies More lies If it isn't time to take a bow Why you got to act so stern? It might improve if we could study how But there's nothing that we would learn Tell me lies More lies We could be perfect We could be perfect Except for that I don't know if it's worth it I don't know if it's worth it As a matter of fact Tell me lies More lies I might never get it figured out But the sun still comes up anyway I might never get to drift about For each tomorrow there's a yesterday Tell me lies More lies We could be perfect We could be perfect Except for that I don't know if it's worth it I don't know if it's worth it As a matter of fact We could be perfect We could be perfect Except for that I don't know if it's worth it I don't know if it's worth it As a matter of fact Tell me lies More lies

Hey Tatiana 05:03
Class of 3022 I'm alright and how 'bout you? I don't know why you dropped off the face of the earth I only listen to power metal Indie kids with flower petals Like the ones we'd listen to, for what it's worth Hey Tatiana Hope you're doing okay, Tatiana Is there something I could say, Tatiana? Or did I scare you away? You know I'd give you a strong 10 For being such a good friend If i'd had good faith, maybe, we'd still be close today It's not hard for me to remember What it was like in those hard Decembers When all our friends would meet each other half way Hey Tatiana Hope you're doing okay, Tatiana Is there something I could say, Tatiana? Or did I scare you away? I listened to what Noah told me All those years ago When that girl bought and sold me And I'd trust as far as I could throw Class of 3022 I'm alright and how 'bout you? I don't know why you dropped off the face of the earth I only listen to power metal Indie kids with flower petals Like the ones we would listen to, for what it's worth Hey Tatiana Hope you're doing okay, Tatiana Is there something I could say, Tatiana? Or did I scare you away? Hey Tatiana Did I scare you away?

Hey There's your sign To motivate away There's nothing left to say Whoa Oh my god It's sinking in this time It's sticking in my mind Beware of dog You should've listened when I said That I would rather see you dead What's going on inside your head? Beware of dog Beware of dog Oh What went wrong With our little plan to head out on the lamb? Cry While you sleep To fortify my point You go and blow another joint Beware of dog You should've listened when I said That I would rather see you dead What's going on inside your head? Beware of dog Beware of dog

I saw your photograph when I was just fifteen When my world was a different shade of green In your pallor I saw promise and potential The way our stars aligned was not so consequential There was a meaning there before But what once was is now no more Adopting narratives So that I could say I was just a kid and it didn't matter anyway Having thought it through I would have done it different I thought myself so smart but my heart was illiterate I wouldn't change it though as it brought me to this Can you imagine that was really my first kiss? There was a meaning there before But what once was is now no more Adopting narratives So that I could say I was just a kid and it didn't matter anyway I don't think about it I used to drink about it I was younger than the lines beneath your eyes Spent so long sinking in tears I got through the frost years Now I choose to smile instead of Cry Would you laugh at me if I told you I miss you? Or would you cry and I could offer you a tissue? Maybe then, as friends, we'd stumble to our fates Replacing bitterness with something less than hate There was a meaning there before But what once was is now no more Adopting narratives So that you can say you were just a kid and I didn't matter anyway There was a meaning there before But what once was is now no more Adopting narratives So that we can say we were just kids and it didn't matter anyway

Ride with me on stolen horses To the shores of Tripoli Tonight we'll dine on seven courses As they sing of our victory Bodies rotting in the sun Don't you know this is how war is won? We must advance We must attack them We must be proactive For any traction We must advance We must attack them (Sworn by the Sword) We must be proactive For any traction (Sworn by the Sword) No shelter from the storm of shrapnel falling down like sleet No general, corporal, commander, or admiral Of any standing fleet Bodies rotting in the sun Don't you know this is how war is won? We must advance We must attack them We must be proactive For any traction We must advance We must attack them (Sworn by the Sword) We must be proactive For any traction (Sworn by the Sword) Let me tell you Oh, let me tell you Let me tell you Oh, let me tell you Let me tell you Let me tell you Let me tell you Let me tell you Bodies rotting in the sun Don't you know this is how war is won? We must advance We must attack them We must be proactive For any traction We must advance We must attack them (Sworn by the Sword) We must be proactive For any traction (Sworn by the Sword)

Chest 04:55
I never forget the wrong I do I've made more mistakes than you ever knew There's a card in the spokes of my bicycle mind To pretend that my thoughts are still motorized But, if I can get Something off my chest I don't just poison myself I poison the rest And deteriorate our health Plastered against the wall My posters begin to fall Hurting like it's a way of life Doubling the pain and hurting twice But, if I can get Something off my chest I don't just poison myself I poison the rest To deteriorate our health Streaks of auburn down my sides Opening wide while my cells divide As the dagger scrapes my ribs Splitting into tiny bits But, if I can get Something off my chest I don't just poison myself I poison the rest To deteriorate our health Our health

Firewood 03:19
I got a little project in the back A dilapidated shack Rotten to the core With a creaky wooden door It's home to ants and termites now I'm gonna fix it up and how It's never gonna be the same Once we tear down the frame There's no oxygen in here Wind don't bend like it should What a lousy atmosphere Might still be good for firewood I couldn't hear you shout Until I took my earplugs out I've been slaving away all day So much hotter than the month of May I tore all the insulation down And I hauled it back to town I've got fiberglass in my hands But boy won't this cabin be grand There's no oxygen in here The wind don't bend like it should What a lousy atmosphere Might still be good for firewood For firewood For firewood For firewood For firewood For firewood For firewood For firewood

Caught on celluloid You know you're not the only one And I've news from Dr. Freud When you underestimate you get caught in the sun You can have your eyes so pretty back And you can have your looks of pity back You can have your whole committee back You can have your key to the city back You can buy your own damn Cadillac Try giving someone else a heart attack You can have your key to the city Key to the city Key to the city back All that boyish charm That you thought would save your neck Without a shot in the arm And no solution that involves cutting a check You can have your eyes so pretty back And you can have your looks of pity back You can have your whole committee back You can have your key to the city back You can buy your own damn Cadillac Try giving someone else a heart attack You can have your key to the city Key to the city Key to the city If you should win We all shall lose But now is my Turn to choose If I should turn Away from you Oh Whatever shall I do? You can have your eyes so pretty back And you can have your looks of pity back You can have your whole committee back You can have your key to the city back You can buy your own damn Cadillac Try giving someone else a heart attack You can have your key to the city Key to the city Key to the city back You can have your eyes so pretty back And you can have your looks of pity back You can have your whole committee back You can have your key to the city back You can buy your own damn Cadillac Try giving someone else a heart attack You can have your key to the city Key to the city Key to the city back You can have your eyes so pretty back And you can have your looks of pity back You can have your whole committee back You can have your key to the city back You can buy your own damn Cadillac Try giving someone else a heart attack You can have your key to the city Key to the city Key to the city back

What's the thrill of it all When you're three feet small and daylight never seems to break? So the days get long And your friends are gone By the time you realize your mistake No one's trying to keep me down But I still never see you around The world gets wider and emptier too But if we're not fishers of men We ought not to pretend What y'all thought was the end Exists only to begin again But I take comfort still Like I hope I will That they're out there living something new But if we're not fishers of men We ought not to pretend What y'all thought was the end Exists only to begin again
