Chinchilla

We sit there just chilling
you're wearing chinchilla
I think that you’re definitely drifting
out of my reach
Your dog in the middle
the wrong kind of poodle
I think that you're definitely keeping us
both on a leash
And you've got a lot of nerve
and maybe you're right
but I'm going home tonight
My sisters, they love me
they win at Monopoly
they tell me their favorite moments of
Saturday Night
One day I'll bring a bouquet for each day that I've been
away
And you’ve got a lot of nerve
and maybe you're right
but I'm going home
And you’ve got a lot of game
and a cab outside
but I'm going home
Tonight, there's a darkness in your eyes
Yes, there's a darkness in your eyes
yes, there’s a darkness in your eyes
so I'm going home tonight

Midnight

How you gonna go and introduce me as your friend
when I'm the greatest love of your life?
Thought we'd be together for a million days
was I wrong or just not right?
Midnight full of cabernet
fat chance that I’ll ever stay
I'm a light light light light weight in your eyes
I'ma wait wait wait wait while you change your mind
Steering New York City like your own private car
you were buying more than just time
There’s gonna be many a night in your life
you’ll be wishing that you had my light
A line means no
I know Morse code
Midnight full of cabernet
fat chance that I’ll ever stay
I'm a light light light light weight in your eyes
I'ma wait wait wait wait while you change your mind, oh
The mansion was haunted
I took the Taconic
I wish we were on it
just one time
My memory is water
a thief with no honor
I wish that we caught her
just one time
So what does it take for me to get close to you?
and what does that make me? a prostitute

Summon the Ghost
03:16
|

|
We’ve got the blue bloods and we’ve got the blue collars
so what do we need to get you summoned?
We’ll keep the gates open and stream your movies
I wish you were here with your bowl of cherries
Summon the likes of a friend of mine
if we align in a line sometime
Summon the ghost in a wedding toast
if we align in a line sometime
You had so many branches you looked like a tree
but you’re not in our forest, therein lie the mystery
West side is better with you
Summon the likes of a friend of mine
if we align in a line sometime
Summon the ghost in a wedding toast
if we align in a line sometime
And I wonder if you’re lost
and I hope you’re not in flux
And I wonder if you’re lost
in time
Summon the likes of a friend of mine
if we align in a line sometime
Summon the ghost in a wedding toast
you're gonna lose what you love the most

Candle in a Jar
03:22

Packed your one clean dress and a letter to address
Jesus, what a mess, remember us
Is this all a phase? You just wanna see it wash away
But you’re wide awake on a Megabus
Light my candle in a jar
I know you can’t be very far
However late they got you staying up tonight
I know you’ll be a star
Don’t expect you to read me like you read the room
Raid me like a tomb and I’ll adjust
Light my candle in a jar
I know you can’t be very far
However late they got you staying up tonight
I know you’ll be a star
Light my candle in a jar
I know you can’t be very far
However late they got you staying up tonight
I know you’ll be a star
Hey, I know you’ll be a star
Hey, I know you’ll be a star
The weight that you feel, it’s real
The weight that you feel, it’s real
Is there something I can do
with my eleven balloons?

Potions
03:33
|
|||
|
Last time I saw you, you sawed me in half
You’re such a magician, you should be wearing a scarf
And you’re cooking up potions to keep us together
Do you think that your mandrake could help us fight better?
Got a splitter of headphones, the merger of brains
We’ve done it before so can we do it again?
With our backs on the floor and our faces lit up
And your parents, they knocked, but we had nothing to hide
If you haven’t felt scared then you haven’t felt loved
But what if I’m scared for us? The math doesn’t add up
Cause you’re cooking up potions in more ways than one
And the light in our bedroom now weighs a ton
Got a splitter of headphones, the merger of brains
We’ve done it before so can we do it again?
With our backs on the floor and our faces lit up
And your parents, they knocked, but we couldn’t be stopped
The splitter of headphones, it may be too late
We’ve done it before so why can’t we do it again?
With our backs to the wall and nothing left in our cups
And your parents they called and called and called
but we didn’t pick up

Bonfire
02:16
|
|||
|
Toss me right into the bonfire like I’m an old moon
I want the Academy to remember me soon
Lately I’ve been pessimistic, what else is there to be?
I want to slide open the sliding door
And sink
into the sea
of jackets and coats piled high on the bed where no one will find you and me
And lie
to everyone
and say we’re just friends but when they turn away we’ll be touching our pinkies again
If you were a violin and I was a bassoon,
we’d make a bad orchestra but a good band,
we could charge just for watching us tune
And fade
into the fog
of confectioner’s sugar we’re sharing to follow along with the chefs on TV
And die
It might not be that bad, just think about it
We could travel for free to Norway or nowhere at all, we don’t know what we’ll be
It’s a toss-up
It’s a toss-up

Iron Wolf
02:56
|
|||
|
On the worst night of winter I lay awake with my arms at my sides
I'm not a confident sleeper, I get nervous when I close my eyes
I heard the tap water swirling and I remembered our swirls in the park
I heard a whistle in the wool, the iron wolf roused me up
If you don't mind, I'll run with your business plan
I'll get on the plane if it takes the pain away
So I chewed through the ranks and I handcuffed myself to my case
And I reached for your tail, if you fall then I'm taking your place
But firebirds burn most beautifully under the sea
And if you plucked all your feathers you'd still fly higher than me
If you don't mind, I'll run with your business plan
I'll get on the plane if it takes the pain away
If you don't mind, I'll run with your business plan
I'll get on the plane if it takes the pain away
If you don't mind, I'll run with your business plan

City of Twins

The city of twins, why do I miss you?
As far as I recall, all that you gave me
was a bicycle helmet surprise
It’s nobody’s business if you’re small
as long as you’re in it for the longest haul
We were a miracle on ice
But when at night you go to bed
remember me instead
I’ll pull my coat off in the snow
I hope that you enjoy the show
The city of twins, I’m gonna flip it
You’re gonna miss me, who’s gonna christen
your body with Nordeast?
I used to be scared of every snare,
of hearing your heartbeat in my inner ear.
There is nothing but Midwest
And when at night you go to bed
remember me instead
I’ll pull my coat off in the snow
I hope that you enjoy the show
Cause when at night you go to bed
remember me instead
I don’t wanna see you, don’t wanna CC you
I know when it’s time to go

Joan of Arc
02:23
|
|||
|
If you have a nightmare, you come straight to me
I will overcompensate and kiss you til you sleep
It’s probably excessive and you’re your own adult
But I will tell you fairy tales about the Joan of Arc
And all we need to fight the dark
is a mirror and some light
My friends got into lightning bugs —
I’d rather they be sparks
You hang on my every word like a magazine
I can tell and so sometimes I roll up and disappear
I know that it’s unlikely cause the multiverse is cruel
But I could find you anywhere and lay right next to you
And all we need to keep us warm
Is a blanket and some rye
My friends got into drinking games —
I’d rather we not play

Storm Queen
04:18
|

|
I’ve got a number for an old Manhattan bank
The lenders won’t answer, it’s too late, and I bet they’re spent
and while we’re on hold, we’ll put the speaker on
and I will hold you to their song
There’s barely a soul on Wall Street when we break the door
If nobody hurts our feelings, then no one gets hurt
We drive past the cops, our bags a heavy load
Don’t believe a word they say - we can make this getaway
But when you’re a driver, you can’t see eye to eye,
promise me that you’ll take us home this time.
When you’re a driver you can’t see eye to eye,
promise me that you’ll take us home
Cause the only thing that gives me hope
is that when we’re gone, the dollar will stay strong
Stay strong,
stay strong, my friend, stay strong
Remember the night we walked across the Beacon Bridge?
We followed the swallows to their nest along the beach
You said you’re some kind of Storm Queen, we should go
If we make it out alive, we’ll come back another night

Watermelon

Sidewalk smells like watermelon
where grandma said I’ll go to hell and
I have never been so jealous
of ordinary names
Too young to turn down a kiss in the kitchen
too poor to afford a rotisserie chicken
I catch and release a friend from a movie
I catch and release a friend from a book
I’ll be someone else next time we move
Grandma found a tape of standup
and she won’t tell me when the end is
she says I’ll never understand it
she says I’ll never understand it
Too young to hold down a job at the Target
too poor to afford a ticket for parking
I catch and release a friend from a movie
I catch and release a friend from a book
I’ll be someone else next time we move
I’ll be someone else
she’ll be someone else
and you’ll be someone else too
