Speed Condition

Up in the dark, by the wreck on the hill
There lived a girl, only ate what she killed
Face was like water, her hands were all trails
She used her mind, I used digital scales
She’s looking at me like a project
I’m looking at her from the projects
She told me she knew where to find it
I said I want the one that god gets
And the fallen trees don’t need permission
They just drop
And she’s calling me in speed condition
Saying she’s not
She wasn’t there yet, he said he would wait
Breathe on her back like a mob at the gate
Played through the pain, changed the name on the door
Stayed for the rain, fell asleep on the floor

1,000 Lows

You think I got this way from movin’ at it slow?
Dude, I’ve been suited up, maneuvered up to go
Change like the weather
Think about you never
So long before my time in the high was
1,000 lows
I navigated life under fire
Sometimes it shows
Been marching through the mud for miles
That’s how it goes
Still livin’ off my time in the wild
1,000 lows
You might have seen inside, but you were never in
All this and never tried, just walked into a win
Sometimes I take a ride
To where I rolled the Eldorado

Hoodlums
02:59
|
|||
|
Fell out my spaceship and called this shit home
Felt like a furnace, my oxygen’s low
Down in the basement where I get real gone
Thought I heard sirens, it might be my phone
Identify or I shoot
This is war
Deep in the woods where the hoodlums get high
Drink til I’m homesick and stare at the sky
Sent here on recon, this feels like a test
Down in a trench with a bomb on my chest
And when I shoot
You will know
This is war

Scrape It
02:56

Watch what you put on me
I know you clear your throat when you lie
The devil’s in the backward records
And the sun’s still in my eyes
Jenny’s got a wreck in her mouth
D’s got a gun in the couch
You left the kids in the car
But they still know where they are
Don’t sit and cry for Cecilia
We both know she left her love in the street
Watch what you put on me
I know you’re stuck and mumbled out
Don’t care if there’s nothing there
You’re gonna scrape it anyhow
Jenny’s got a spike in her arm
D’s got a subtle charm
And you know just what you owe
But your hand’s out anyway
Don’t sit and cry for Cecilia
We both know she left her love on the street
Don’t sit and cry
Don’t sit and wonder why
We both know she left her love in the road

Take The Lid Off

It’s like a day in a book you can’t put down
Like finding yay in the lost and found
Wish I could bag it up, spread it round
But it ain’t mine to give up or hold down
I hear people laughing
But I can’t hear the joke
All clear for understanding
The room rings out the notes
I stole the wishes from your well
Just to sell
I traded her makeup for a song
Six summers long
You like to play in the mud, but I break ground
And contemplate how to walk through sound
Wish I could bag it up, spread it round
But it ain’t mine to give up or hold down

Seance
03:03
|

|
She was at the seance, spent grips on that
Tarot cards and tea
She learned to read the leaves
I couldn’t stay long
But if these walls could sing
They’d sing a song for me
Whispered her name out, it made her laugh
That name was only hers
We filled our world with words
Twin speak for two
That was when she new
I was in the room
She ain’t movin’ on
And all her friends say “girl, he’s gone”
But she just lays there on the floor, playing my songs
Like she’s sitting at a seance, spent grips on that
Tarot cards and tea
Don’t wait around for me

Trash And Ashes
03:36

We sheltered low but the wind still brought the rain
We shared a code like a soldier, did you know
We ain’t been right since we went down south
To that little old man in a big ass house
He said I thought you boys just might be comin’ around
Gettin’ drunk on the drums like a gunshot rattles the sound
I’ll get you there, can’t get you back
It’s on down the hill, just past the tracks
Don’t mention my name when you hit town
You saved it all for the big show in your brain
A nation sack with a bible on the shelf
I quit my job, shaved my head
Thinkin’ about what that old man said
He said I thought you boys just might be comin’ around
Gettin’ drunk on the drums like a gunshot rattles the sound
Once you’re there you can’t get back
He’s gonna throw your soul in a gunnysack
Don’t tell ‘em what you’ve done when you hit town

Rope And Dagger
01:34
|

|
She was in town like the fair
Washed the road out of her hair
All that she had was right there
In a gym bag on the chair
Dipped on some debt in a past life
She’s been my problem since last night
She’s never known to be wrapped tight
She might need an exit
Rope and dagger
Sinking feeling
Leave it there
And burn the building down

TICO

Jumped in my favorite bottle
Hopped out the latest model
It got me up and over
Rabid, afraid of water
All this? Ain’t nothin’ to it
Knocked out inside an hour
See, I’ve been taken by her
Full lips and ivory tower
I’m Mr Miss The Mark sometimes
Hands up like “man, I’m trying!”
And you ain’t been no better
At least we help each other down
Open your eyes and settle
Into my diorama
I’m having psychic visions
I’ll use them when I wanna
And when she took the boat that night
I felt like “man, I’m dying!”
I should have never fought her
And I’m still treading water
It’s like the night you tried to
Remind me not to think about
But now it’s all I think about
So tell me, what’s the difference?
I wish I knew what turned that spark
Into a lightening shower
Rude boys and rock n rollers
Feed off the FM towers
I know we made a difference
But I ain’t always seen it
But I ain’t going nowhere
This time I sorta mean it

Lucky Cats

We were quiet as corpses when the sign said “more!”
I needed the forest, couldn’t find the door
She ran up to tell me that the light might turn
Sit tight when the bell rings and we’ll feed that burn
We were the last ones in the room
And now the room is getting colder
Stranger or an old friend you can see right through
I can’t ever tell you which one I might choose
We were at the chorus when the light got low
I needed the forest, god I moved too slow
Jump into the drama, let it fix your eyes
Look behind the words, that’s where the cowards hide
Nothing left to show us when the lights got low
I needed the forest, god I move so slow

Dead Center Blackout
02:05
|

|
The light here’s not enough
Not enough to show my good side
For light years I’ve been up
Up enough to know a good time
In too far to back out
On TV, dead center blackout
That was me with the bandaged hand
I hope you understand
I’ll do it again
I might be on the ups
But I might could show my hood side
What I did on my own
Could have locked me down a long time
But I was in to far to back out
On TV, dead center blackout
That was me with the bandaged hand
I hope you understand
I’ll do it again
That was me with the bandaged hand
And if I broke the band
I’ll do it again
The light here’s not enough
Not enough to show my good side

More Animal
03:43
|

|
They couldn’t catch me on Riverside
Ridge Rd runner, bricks rattle the ride
It smells like summer, guess the TV lied
Gonna call that summer, ‘cause I feel like something
More animal
Shake my jitters and I head on East
Gonna find that wizard with the tombstone teeth
Light bulbs busted, and it smells like weed
And I spent that summer trying to feel like something
More animal

Pup Pup and Lu, six diamonds in a straight line
Tuck ‘em in your shoe, if they find ‘em you can take mine
Lately I’ve been leanin’ on a gypsy and a cartoon
Shake me, I’ve been dreamin’ bout a door I never walk through
Straighten it out, man
Start slow
Toughed up and used slick timin’ at a slick time
Takin’ the abuse and burnin’ bridges like it’s all fine
Lately I’ve been learnin’ not all witches got their own broom
Shake me, I’ve been dreamin’ bout a world I wanna show you
Straighten it out, man
Start slow
