Follow Down

When I think back to days of summer
Swearing all night we’d never surrender
Sleeping all day it was hotter than ever
I wouldn’t go back but I’ll always remember
Those were the months that were filled with lost weekends
Finding you beds and an old shirt to sleep in
Bottles of wine and a couch made for napping
Stains on our teeth never kept us from smiling
and I will follow down
I’ll follow you
When I go back all the days seemed truer
Riding my bike that I named Martin Luther
Speeding uptown on the wheels of a dreamer
Radio on with a busted double speaker
and I will follow down
I’ll follow you
Lake in the summer sun perfect and twisting
Doing those drugs that we stole from your sister
I think I took too much but I'm calm when we're kissing
and I will follow down
I’ll follow you

Dogs

Honestly these girls
and it's taken way too long
to find each other
Better bring your concern
cause he's everywhere you go
loose hands at every show
Saying
can't we just spend another night together
can't we just spend another day alone
Vanity
he does it again
saying you seemed pretty grown
and i was your friend
Industry
just backs my band
and he blames this buzzing trend
limp valor to defend
Still saying
can't we just spend another day together
can't we just have another night alone
That wasn't me, the outcome of drunk summers
Can't we just talk about this one the phone
Dog doesn't care that you're happier here
cause it don't chill his desire
Big talk doesn't mind awful itches in the night
cause he knows power don't retire
Saying
can't we just spend another night together
Can we just spend another day alone
Can't you just call a couple friends
and take my offer as a compliment
Can't you just quiet down and hurry home

Aim For Danger

I got a call from the minister tonight
my soul is aimed for danger
being led by vicious wives
Something unreal about our being taken in
like i'm samson on the corner
and she's scissors on the fringe
We got a call to say
the end is coming soon
but his footsteps on the beach
only let sand into my shoes
When it comes down to it
i'll never leave you satisfied
By some miracle that you were right
the angel wings
that golden light
Let untapped expectations guide you in
and see my sin
Pull the lever
and let me fall
may a thousand screaming faces
be my wake up call
pull the lever
to hell i'm thrown
me and every captive killer
ride the terrordome
By some miracle that you were right
his groupies wrapped in sheets of white
a joyous exaltation infinite
I'm the animal with jagged bite
just drunk and blind in party lights
where all the bastards suffer til the end
Welcome in

Babe of Babylon

Time was giving
me shadows of a breakdown
I should really build my credit
Start those baby blues
I was writing
A note about the new house
Seems the families keeping local
But I can’t stand the view
We weren't ready
for moments of a real life
Should i really keep her collar
after we put her down
Mom was sending
Me pictures of a white gown
She came from such a small town
And I’m black sheep number one
No daughter and no son
To love me when I’m gone
Good morning son hope you're ok
i saw your picture yesterday
A beach when you were twenty three
Saw your future in the past
We were tan and laughing like a fool
i see myself in you
And I’m black sheep number one
no lambs out on the lawn
Our family line is gone
i'm the babe of babylon
no father to a son
a life to lead along

Riding Waves

i fell asleep inside my ringing head
every worry twitching at the edge
insurance bills, the demonstration spread
suit for the funeral, vaccines from the vet
i find a static sound and try to breathe
shook by sudden riots in the street
they're tearing down our house for laundromats
some asshole on vacation
like neighborhood inflation
and i free fall
with one call
everythings ok
just make it through today
i reassure
i need another downer for the night
i tried it once and didn't like the high
we're drawing shades in air conditioned beds
like angels in the tomb
relief from certain doom
and i free fall
with one call
ride it out today
pinned down by the weight
and i free fall
my numb heart
you called me to explain
stabilitys a game
to be ignored
and i free fall
with one call
all right to be afraid
just make it through today
and i free fall
with one shot
the panic comes in waves
all i do is lay here
anymore
