good morning
how’s it going?
leave the lights off cuz it’s pouring anyways
so good morning, cut the bullshit
if you want something, why don’t you get it?
lazy boy sleeps all day
he’s a cat in his girlfriend’s lap
feeds the dog, watch tv
says “there’s no one better than me!”
what’s it gonna take
to unlock the hatch?
to rework your life?
to be something more than a dog online
who does nothing with his time?
so if you’re hungry, save your money
a perfect meal for someone like you:
bread sandwich
ice cube soup
college dorm specials
for an unemployed 19 year old
who writes songs in his parents’ home
what’s it gonna take
to unlock the hatch?
to rework your life?
to be something more than a dog online
who does nothing with his time?
what’s it gonna take
to unlock the hatch?
to rework your life?
to be something more than a dog online
who does nothing with his time?
what’s it gonna take?
what’s it gonna take?
what’s it gonna take
to unlock the hatch?
to rework your life?
to be something more than a dog?
to be something more than a dog?
to be something more than a dog?

Pigeonman

pigeonman sits in washington square
fingers round a bag of love he shares
for his brothers and sisters with feathers and beaks
staring is rude didn’t someone teach you
to think of others in the nicest way?
muse on the man who’s one with a bench
can’t you imagine what he’ll say?
“i have more in common with birds than my people
if i feed them love then they feed me
music to my ears makes me feel human
and a blanket full of notes puts me to sleep”
pigeonman do you have a family?
do you have a wife and kids who love you so sweet?
or a husband, that’s fine, i don’t judge, me too
pigeonman i could be just like you
i have more in common with birds than my people
if i feed them love then they feed me
music to my ears makes me feel human
and a blanket full of notes puts me to sleep
i have more in common with birds than my people
if i feed them love then they feed me
music to my ears makes me feel human
and a blanket full of notes puts me to sleep

Miss Versailles
04:02
|
|||
|
why won't my baby realize i mean it when i say he’s all i want?
when i’m awake with miss versailles i’m dependent on the things i shouldn’t want
and when my baby boy dresses up i feel like less of a man
he doesn’t see the pattern of the roses in the sand
is he inclined to do what’s right
or to go on dates with bottles at the store?
when there’s enough to fill both sides
he’ll be rolling in the ashes on the floor
but my darling doesn’t crack
and when she only sees straight ahead
she flies but won’t circle back
i’d buy her all of versailles and ride
through flowers to keep her on track

Village // Istanbul
03:17
|
|||
|
and slowly she walks towards you
she’s got a mind of her own, and so do you
no photograph can prove
what she means to me at all, what she means to you
and slowly, my eyes break through
i’m the best i’ve been all week
i had a dream we were in the village
you showed me the best food to eat
last night i was in istanbul with the heat
and you said be brave now
don’t worry or break a sweat
you said be brave now while i slept
now everyday’s the same
and my head, he’s 16 too
but i still dream about you
no photograph can say
that it’s worth it to be away
no it’s only the way you move
be brave now
don’t worry or break amends
you sat on the steps
be brave now, while i slept
(and now i’m in between
what i say and what i mean
espresso shot repeat
pour money down on me)
and braver now, you are
and braver now, you are
and braver now, you are
and braver now, you are
and braver now, you are
and braver now, you are
and braver now, you are

talking dog and race car choose me over everyone
i’m not angry for the fun
i’m just sleeping in for no one
“thank you for the option” means i’d rather stay undone
bite the bullet from the gun
taking animals for fun
say what you want but i don’t care
i’ll do the dishes braid your hair
keep outta trouble while i stay working
hole in one redemption i’m so sure my time is done
cinch my clothes around the club
slowly drowning in the sun
guess it’s never luck-based but my body’s had enough
like a dead man on the run
i was born when life was done
say what you want but i don’t care
say what you want
i don’t care
say what you want but i don’t care

Silver Summer
03:43
|
|||
|
monday alone
i am so miserable
blankets & fresh sunday clothes to get away
baby's a phone
she sleeps in the photos i own
and leaves me whenever i'm gone on my own way
but i miss the spark in your pocket and hands 'round my waist
miss the walks in the dark waiting for night to break
but i'm breaking down
silver summer in my house
i'm reaching out
they won't notice if you're around
or not around
dorm room floor
you're finally in control
and sleeping as soon as you want to get away
neon sign city always looked pretty
car ride killing my head
back in the suburbs i become younger
spit in a frameless bed
i'm breaking down
silver summer in my house
i'm reaching out
they won't notice if you're around
or not around
i'm breaking down
i'm breaking down
i'm breaking down
they won't notice if you're around
or not around

A Bird Calls

in boston i try to call you
you don’t pick up, i forget it’s 3 am
in a cabin i try to call you
you don’t pick up, i forget that i’m in the air
i shouldn’t fly all this way just to not have you here
well do you find solace in the fact we’re all gonna die
or does it freak you out?
cuz i can’t find a single reason for this to feel fine at all
in new york i try to call you
thank god you’re alive,
i love you
what time is it where you are?
what time is it in my arms?
what time is it where you are?
what time is it in my arms?
(what time is it where you are?
what time is it in my arms?
what time is it where you are?
what time is it in my arms?)
now everything is quiet
i reach on to what i know is real
a bird calls outside and i wonder what you feel

Man Bites Shark

“man bites shark” on the news tonight
i’m so sick and sleep deprived
i don’t see anything strange about that
cuz it’s been a midnight uptight coffee race
stressed out since i was 8
so go, go on,
take a stab at your life
cuz boy, if you wanna last it’s not complicated
wait 2 years and you’ll be the greatest
you don’t even have to love yourself
i don’t want to be the one to sedate ya
rather be the one who just dates ya
feels so dumb but i gotta survive
so you’re a nice kid?
why don’t you give up?
throw yourself out
or dessert up
and you can take time
just to relax
feel responsive
or just relapse
i am a beast in the makeup
call me when u break up
seems like now or never but ur never gonna wake up
so i’ll take the L train home, i
dream of metaphors like
m a n b i t e s s h a r k
cuz man, if you wanna last it’s not complicated
wait 2 years and you’ll be the greatest
you don’t even have to love yourself
i don’t want to be the one to forget you
better yet, i’ll just send a text to
feels so dumb but i gotta survive
i feel so dumb but i gotta survive

Anything at All
03:23
|
|||
|
i wouldn’t ask you for anything at all
maybe a talk once or twice a month
all i want is a solid job
all i want is to make the money fall
don’t even have to say what it is
selfish side of me doesn’t give
hauling out ‘till the leaves are gone
smoking something on the lawn
all i want is a solid job
and a caravan for me and the love of my life
a couple cats and a scooter in the back
for a putt-putt down to the tide
don’t need anything at all
i can’t stand all the real world shit
sleep in classrooms and apartments
and when i’m satisfied the only side effect is that i'll never stay
seeming like forever but it’s only the rest of my days
and all i want is to end before i break
yeah all i want is a solid job
and a caravan for me and the love of my life
a couple cats and a scooter in the back
for a putt-putt down to the tide
don’t need anything at all
a couple cats and a scooter in the back
for a putt-putt down to the tide
don’t need anything at all
a couple cats and a scooter in the back
for a putt-putt down to the tide
don’t need anything at all

Fresh Fruit for All
01:42
|
|||
|
my old friend’s black cat sits on his doorstep
his fragile peach skin cries
then from the corner an old friend comes in
a squirrel with cherry eyes
he’ll pluck them out
he’ll pluck them out
silly little baby all dressed in ruby knows nothing but his place
banished by mommy, fell from the peach tree
i love you anyways
fresh fruit for all
fresh fruit for all
fresh fruit for all
fresh fruit for all

Breakfast

house on a lake with everyone inside
everyone i love
make no mistake
i’ll be there when the rain falls in your place
turkey and steak
what will you eat today?
drop my knife and plate
buy all them the biggest cake
i love you, so stay awake
buy all them the biggest cake
coffee and shakes
my breakfast melts away
how much today?
all of my friends destroying everything
just for a day
buy all them the biggest cake
i love you, so stay awake
buy all them the biggest cake
i love you, so stay awake
buy all them the biggest cake
blow the candles in my face
i’ll freeze the lake and last forever

It sounds really different from the rest of their music but that by no means says i dont enjoy this album is any worse. This is one of those albums that feels like a journey which seen in from many aspects inside it. All that with an amazing cover art makes it a really good whole experience.
