bike down Bedford till you get to the bay / then you follow the path down to Rockaway
walk the beach and fill your pockets with stones / lose all your friends and go swimming alone
beach wolf
wake up on the beach and you don't know what happened / yeah, wake up on the beach and you don't know where you are
wake up on the beach and you're surrounded by paw prints / wake up on the beach my god there's so much blood
gotta get away from the beach tonight, gotta get away before someone gets hurt
gotta get away, gotta lock myself up tonight / gotta get away before you end up in the dirt
this here beach ain't big enough for us / I think you'd best be moving along
if you don't, things, they might get weird, not the good weird
you know, the awkward weird, a fucked-up kinda weird
beach wolf
wake up on the beach and you don't know what happened / yeah, wake up on the beach and you don't know where you are
you and me, we're going down to the beach tonight / you and me, we're gonna set things straight
you and me, we're gonna figure out what's going on, you and me, we're gonna stay stay up late
this here beach ain't big enough for us / I think you'd best be moving along
if you don't, things, they might get weird, not the good weird
you know, the awkward weird, a fucked-up kinda weird

hey man, where you been? / I wanna help you but there's something wrong with your grin
hey man, where you going? / I wanna help you but your ribs are showing

hey sis, need a lift? / we're trying for Atlanta, I don't know how hard they got hit
hey ma, you don't look so hot / you sure there ain't something you wanna be telling me about?

useta wanna live in New York City / useta wanna get high with you

Jay-Z and Alicia Keys lied to me / the lights don't inspire me
I'm broke and I'm tired, baby how about you?
Billy Joel, you can fuck right off / that state of mind's lost, they sold it at cost, now at last I know the truth, this town don't care about you
useta wanna live in New York City / useta wanna get high with you
now I don't give a fuck about New York City /I just wanna get next to you
well, your train? / yeah it's skipping your stop / the bar on your block, it's bout to flop and baby so are you

Sleepy/Spooky
04:25
|
|

talks like forest fires / dull red glow on the horizon, a smell like god has crossed the wires
reach out and find the line / where all of this gets soft and hazy, it's safer there, it just takes patience
each moment is forever / I sure wish they'd stop
I'm so tired / I'm so scared
I've never been so tired and we're not even halfway there
standing in the rain / this wasn't how it was supposed to go, I smell the ashes of my home
no end in sight / can't bear to look for for what I'll find, take up the lye, aim for the eyes
each moment is forever / I sure wish they'd stop
I'm so tired / I'm so scared
I've never been so tired and we're not even halfway there

Cop Cars
02:42
|
|
||
well I'd fly away, but I still got payments on my wings / it's so goddamn cold, I barely remember New Orleans
we could leave tonight, yeah we'll head for the hills / it's getting dark in here and already burned the last of the bills
but some of us still die in the back of cop cars, and a lot of old rich white men just keep getting old
so finish that drink, dear, and choke back your tears / yeah come on now, it's time for the show
when you found me, did I still have the bottle in my hand? / this table needs straightened, this wasn't part of the plan
let me just stop and think, it's a bad habit of mine / you know I'm trying to quit but I just can't seem to find the time
but some of us still die in the back of cop cars, and a lot of old white men just keep getting old
so finish that drink, dear, and choke back your tears / yeah come on now, it's time for the show

I Knew It Was You
02:38
|
|

who's writing this shit, and what did you cut this with? / and other great questions of our time
is there a ledger? I barely even knew 'er / so where should I sign, on this line?
I knew it was you
meryl I think that you should sit on down for this / it's not great
sure, I stole those scenes, but this feels a tad off to me / I never even got to see Wyoming
I knew it was you
