It's Just Blood

In a Corvette Summer we're all doomed
Drawing pictures of Star Wars in my room
Mom is at work we're too old for a sitter I said I would
It's just blood
I never came and you never went
After learning of your father's accident
He knew better he didn't raise no quitter
You never did
It's just blood
Straight off the bus and over the fence
The key to your door was the key to my circumstance
And we sampled the exotics of your parents' bar
and we played a little bit of Donkey Kong and
we looked at your brother's heavy metal wall of posters
Maybe I should've known a bit sooner you wore a tank top
I was a late bloomer, so skinny and so awkward I could die
I must have been about a million miles away
It's just blood

Big Nights Forever

Put upon stuck up on the roof
So you join the thumb sucking crew
Now that habit's all you do
And the news just don't change for you
While I'm hanging from the rafters too
And I promise you my friend
I'll often fall right to the end
And I promise you big nights forever
Put upon stuck up on the roof
The self-appointed king has spoken
Doesn't sound like at all like you
And the news just don't change for you
While I'm hanging from the rafters too
And I promise you my friend
I'll often fall right to the end
And I promise you big nights forever
I lost my jacket and my shoes
Even Dracula had a friend or two
If I get there before ya
And you question my euphoria
It's 'cause I promised you big nights forever
'Til we die

Dream Up Something Big
02:40
|
|||
|
Trapped in the world of the imaginary
Drawing pictures of the Devil
If we share this space I better tie my lace
And make it mine in a hurry
Stepping stones and peerless thrones of emptiness and spite
I've grown far too comfortable so a new page I should write
I'm gonna dream up something big tonight
The spider had her children
It was such a pretty sight
She said, "I love thee, thou must devour me
If you intend to live this life"
Cue up the song to the ever live longs and their arrogance and pride
I'll dine with the sin eaters until I'm cast aside
I'm gonna dream up something big tonight
Wishing .... for the thing I can't describe
Falling .... under the age old spells
I'm gonna dream up something big tonight

I Can't Lose

Everybody wants a big comeback
Everybody loves the man who laughs
World don't need a thing
So I won't make an offering
I'm the Eyeball King and I see everything
Everybody just wants something new
Dusting off my huckleberry suit
Call it intuition or maybe just a rinse
I wanna get excited but it doesn't make sense
And I can't lose right now
Everybody wants a slap on the back
Everybody loves the man who laughs
I'm not an aberration or something to be teased
A mouthful of stingers and a head full of bees
And I can't lose right now
Maybe superstitious a bit less than fantastic
I stole a monkey's paw and now I'm playing in traffic
And I can't lose right now
So long stuck with it all and clueless half the time
But I don't mind
And I refuse now and I won't bruise now
And I can't lose right now

Got a friend who loves a good tear down
Another way to get inside the ground
"Get a taste of it" is what my buddy says
Live in tombs and we pay the rent
When the Devil meets the latchkey kids
"Get out of it" is what your brother said
I don't wanna sit around and watch the whole world die
Gimme some ass wigglin' music and I'll be just fine
If fame and fortune early graves are important
Do what you do to get ahead 'cause
beauty and youth get wasted on the dead
Not exactly how I pictured us coming at you like birds to blood
"Get a taste of it" is what your brother said
You can't ever seem to find your voice
When gasoline's the drug of choice
"But it takes me away" is what your brother said
We're here (x3)
We're here for the good stuff then we're gone
No need to stick around

The Card Table Kids
01:53
|
|||
|
And we trip through the yard
Throwing rocks at all cars
Retreat to your mother's house
As the neighborhood is on fire
Aunts and uncles congregate at the base of the stairs
There's news to be made
Behave little brothers and scoot in your chairs
We're the Card Table Kids and the night is wild

It Lives
02:39

It’s part of a mysterious freight and now it’s just a broken crate
What have we found we must get home
Now a shadow’s haunting us it’s misshaped and it’s hideous
It acts as if it just might know me
Don’t push it I might lose my head
Control my teeth if I see red
The neighborhood is falling dark as we wind through the ancient park
An omen creaked out from a swing set
Off the chain link through the trees I’m losing you I’m barely me
I feel its breath come down on my neck
Don’t push it I might lose my head
Control my teeth if I see red
Well it lives in the ground and it lives in the weeds
It sleeps in the basement it creeps in the streets
It climbs down the house and it hides in the trees
It lies in the dark and it rolls in the leaves
It stalks in the alley it stands on the stone
It crawls through the window to make itself known
It lives to be angry it lives to be seen
It feels nothing, knows nothing, it’s inside me

Hold On Tight
03:27

Drag my mortal frame outside we can't hide forever from the night
Oh, yeah hold on tight
Throw some blood upon the flames grab what we can take into the night
Oh, yeah hold on tight
In times like this I curse disease and use my power of invisibility
Gravity is not my friend I'm comfortable in my donkey skin
And the man he said to me... to run
And our hopes fell like shells from a gun
And there was something rumbling 'neath our feet (all the time)
Numb ourselves and vanish from the street (all in time)
Oh, yeah hold on tight

Fiery Eyes
03:52
|
|||
|
In the time that we did it was not long lived
And sharp teeth hurt when they break the skin
Try to level up but I get in the way
There was something more glorious about those days
We stormed up the hill and by my side you stayed
Fiery Eyes Kills me every time
Fiery Eyes Set to explode
You've taken your stand alone in the night
No one can ever steal your fiery eyes
In this retched house the pain never ends
But it ain't a bad place if you've got the right friends
You loved me for a loser we laughed it all the way
There was something more glorious about those days
You flew into my arms and by my side you stayed
Fiery Eyes Kills me every time
Fiery Eyes Set to explode
You've taken your stand alone in the night
No one can ever steal your fiery eyes
You burned it all down with your pyro gaze
You said "The trick to an entrance is when you go away"
Fiery Eyes

Fast, Loose, & Fucked Up
02:31
|
|||
|
Fast loose and fucked up
And I don’t give a damn about what anybody has to say
And I don’t give a muck about whatever and the changing ways
I’ll just stay in the river all day drinking beer and other things
Fast loose and fucked up
If I had a castle that was overrun with assholes
I’d tell you what I’d tell you what I’d do
I’d remove all the wood inside and eat paint chips to stay alive
And build myself a giant merchant ship
And if it isn’t seaworthy well I wouldn’t really worry
Cause I’m done with the water and the land
Cause our obsessions with possessions cannot change my past transgressions
Cause I’m a mutherfuckin’ spaceman
Fast loose and fucked up

From the chord that rings out solemnly during the opening "One per Customer" through the hypnotic distortion of the finale "Black Hole," this is full of heart. Melodic, mature, and evocative.
