Meteoric Rise

|
|||
Making it up as I go along
And I’ve got no reason for what I’m doing
You don’t get a word in, not even if it’s edgewise
And when I break through you’ll be asking "Who let you in?"
I’m on a meteoric rise
Take off my disguise
I’m on a meteoric rise
Climb on a comet, I’m iconic on it
I’m on a meteoric rise
Bottle of wine exploding on the bay dock
I stand on the shoulders of me and me alone
You can take a backseat, your hot air’s fogging up my vision
And yeah! you can borrow my time girl vis-à-vis a loan
I’m on a meteoric rise
Take off my disguise
I’m on a meteoric rise
Climb on a comet, I’m iconic on it
I’m on a meteoric rise
Burn those bridges!
Cut those ties
Lack a grip
Headfirst dive
I’m on a meteoric rise
Take off my disguise
I’m on a meteoric rise
Climb on a comet, I’m iconic on it
I’m on a meteoric rise
Take off my disguise
I’m on a meteoric rise
Climb on a comet, I’m iconic on it
I’m on a meteoric rise

Adolescent Horse
04:22

No time to breathe, yeah
It's too hard to sleep, yeah
And now the doubt and how they're gonna make it through the night
Well, smoke on the water
Is changing it's color
It's turning deeper purple, gonna make me feel all right
My head is all stopped up
The ladder is locked up
But if you're clever you'll MacGyver something to the top
We'll keep it a secret
Don't make it a regret
Or I can tell you might as well just take it to the ground
If ever you wonder how far you'll go
Just look at your brothers outside the door
And take it from me, kid, you can do worse
The sooner you free fall, the sooner you'll be back upon the saddle of your adolescent horse
The word on the street is
You got a new treatise
But writing words are fighting towards a different kind of form
Get lost in the theory
It's dark and it's eerie
You forfeit to the bullshit when you throw up on the wall
My bed is on fire
The milk is expired
A psycho killer might just the fill the words I'm thinking of
So put down the pencil
And turn down the tinsel
And leave your house and figure out a different way to work
If ever you wonder how far you'll go
Just look at your brothers outside the door
And take it from me, kid, you can do worse
The sooner you free fall, the sooner you'll be back upon the saddle of your adolescent horse
If ever you wonder how far you'll go
Just look at your brothers outside the door
And take it from me, kid, you can do worse
The sooner you free fall, the sooner you'll be back upon the saddle of your adolescent horse

Smokestack
03:10
|
|||
We're talking jet black, slicked back
His presence is a smokestack
Rose knot, face taut
A chimney of cologne
Suede shoes, paid dues
Takes the cake for snake dudes
Best part is he thinks he's made it on his own
And sometimes I feel like a Ferris wheel operator
Standing tangent to the circles people try to run around me
The next one's a "best one"
Classic case of Chek's gun
Abiding and hiding
What little depth he's got
Exiled his smile
He's got it on speed dial
Why enjoy yourself when it may be all for naught?
And sometimes I feel like a Ferris wheel operator
Witnessing the rise and fall of those who want the easy way up
A baker and a scientist, he's getting sick of trying shit
Silver-tipped executive on the line, shouting at himself to pass the time
The ladder's legs are quivering, your lips are quaking, shivering
Lucratively lubricating the line, screaming at yourself to pass the time
A no-thought, robot
Stuck waiting for "go dot"
Grazing and raising
His image in her eyes
Ration his passion
It's time to quit and cash in
He becomes the one that he chose to sacrifice
Screaming at yourself to pass the time (x4)

Angry sun
Tell me why, why do you run?
It's been worlds since I've seen you with a smile on your face
Glad to wait with you for the wind
Favorite sun
You can tell has the most fun
Years and years they go by but nobody changes much
We'll soon learn what life has in store
Hey!
Everyone
Has the same fear
Armageddon is here and He goes by but one name
Angry sun

Tinnitus
02:19
|

I'm behind the scenes but can still hear the echoing
Ringing in my ears
The tinnitus is loud but don't measure it in decibels
Measure it in years
Your name in lights is reserved for enthusiasts
Slowly losing time
I'm behind the scenes but can still hear the echoing
Off my passing prime
Everyone plays 'til they lose
Entertainment is bemused
Have the bottle or the booze
Verify the olds and news until you're sure that you've got someone you're not
The Maine event has a slogan and a deafening
Pulitzer for distress
The paper decays due to dotage and inanity
The jaundice of the press
Liars and thieves celebrate artistic liberties
They bear away the bell
The Maine event has a slogan and a deafening
Empty hollow shell
Everyone plays 'til they lose
Entertainment is bemused
Have the bottle or the booze
Verify the olds and news until you're sure that you've got someone you're not
Everyone plays 'til they lose
Entertainment is bemused
Have the bottle or the booze
Verify the olds and news until you're sure that you've got someone you're not

And I said I don't want it anymore
And he said it's not that easy
Da da da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da
Lines are lines and I know how to reach four
Just give it time and it's behind you
Oh, it feels so good to be drawn by you
I'll buy it back for it's worth
I don't care
And she said she can't write it anymore
But that doesn't answer my question
Twenty-four hours and I still wonder
How did we get here?
But no surrender lends itself to
One happy new year
To be so kind as to give all you have
Just close the door if it's too heavy
Oh, it feels so good to be drawn by you
I'll buy it back for it's worth
I don't care

I. WARP DRIVE
Whose job is it to get us home okay?
There are planets of creatures just trying to kill you
The chances of survival are a million of you to one
Whose words are they that end up on our grave?
There are doctors in hospitals trying to cure you
The needles in their pockets are just trying their best to sting
And yet I still sing
II. PEBBLE IN MY SHOE
Oh, pebble in my shoe
How do I love you
Oh, pebble in my shoe
How do I love you
It hasn't been so rock and roll since you came around
I'm tripping out of action now with you back in town
Blood in your hair, skin on the street
I'm too hot to kill but just too cold to beat
Oh, pebble in my shoe
How do I love you
Oh, pebble in my shoe
How do I hate you
You're running out of commas so I dictate your speech
You're fucking all the brothers that live down at the beach
Your mouth's running dry, your skin I can read
I'm so far behind so bring me up to speed
III. ALL THAT I SAW WAS DUST
I opened my eyes, yeah, and all that I saw was dust
And wrapped 'round your fingers was hair that I dare not trust
But I can't trust your anecdotes 'cause you throw caution to the window
And I we know you're adipose so you might want to run
I knocked on the door but it looks like there's no one home
I looked in the windows and everything there was chrome
Well, duck and cover's not so tough with legs like yours and eyes like mine
So tell me when you've had enough and we will try to run
IV. MY FRIENDS
May I introduce you to my friends
They're pretty but with minds all of their own
And if you share some diamonds in our pockets
We will share with you our thrown
V. THE BOAT OF SOCIAL SUICIDE
Welcome to the life inside the boat of social suicide
Pardon all the ink, I think he's done with her too
And all the porters and the stationmaster's daughters
Well he just might be feline but he's relying on his good
Songs to bring him back home
Words that belong on his page
Lips that fit into her heart
An end to the end of our age
VI. CATS
This one's for all the cats out there who preferred me in the past
You know I tried to stay that way but it wasn't gonna last
With five note melodies, four year memories, three songs like Angry Sun
Hope this is musical to your ears, it sure does reek of one
And I don't wanna be Jason Robert Frost
I got a little phrase for you: opportunity cost
And no matter how you define it, I've got amnesty
But here you go, ladies and gentlemen, your calamity
VII. BIG HOUSE
Go get a big house and a fancy car (x3)
Go get a big house
I want a big house and a fancy car (x3)
I want a big house
I got a big house and a fancy car (x3)
I got a big house! Yeah! Oh!
VIII. ANOMALOUS
If you wanna be an anomaly, you gotta act like one (x16)
