Good Lord, more like GREAT Lord And if you're ignorant, guess what, you get ignored And you can feel mighty fine when you're falling for the fjords A travel-size fiasco, tripwire around the ankle It'll play in Peoria because the lesson's universal And the plebs will never know if you're hours late for rehearsal Bought it just to buy it I'm flying by the seat of your pants Crybabies try to decree it And though truth may belie it It's hardly libel if you satirize it A tangled web of generosity Only outmatched by its ferocity It's funny you should ask but if you want a reasonable answer you'll have to speak to my manager And her supervisor is gone for the season so if your loyalty card is looking for redemption Working with a millimeter of an inch Complicated history like the taxonomy of a finch. Confounded by the recurrence of morphologies Convergence of species' occupying a similar niche Can't stop now but why would you want to If the situation calls for it why not just say thank you? Gumshoe in my hairdo, bid adieu to the rescue Spent all the petty cash on fondant While we're only still in previews This papers went long while the opera went short Drowned in a parking lot thanking Portugal for its port Hardly having a ball while host and hostess hold court This party is as thrilling as watching a casket warp Cut me to the quick, cut me to the core This flimsy pretext ain't worth fighting for

Low Headroom 03:08
lyrics
buy track
They roll out the red carpet wherever I stay Probably cause my cup overflow with Cabernet Low headroom so keep your thoughts on the downlow Broadway dined with Hollywood then let the zeitgeist know Hard eight. Figure eight. Seven ten split. No one wants to hear your noise anyway That might not be what they said but that's what they say Watching wallets like they're hanging from my wrist watch Making time with the honeys at the penny slots Hard wired to accept injustice and we do it every day It's a dynamic planet when it wants to be I'd be busy loving it if it weren't at capacity If you've got a purpose and you've got a friend You're a lucky man, a lucky man And if the city didn't try and kill me I might be inclined to make it to seventy Back step. Two step. Smile for the judges. Face in my palms too good at holding grudges Celebrity chefs famous for their personalities Stars living beyond reality It's an injustice and a crime the way it warps the young Dedicate and educate reserved for the unsung

Alsasia 02:35
lyrics
buy track
It's a blind mans bluff on a dead man's curve And it's off to the races before another's country heard And the check arrived before the dinner is served And the blade hits the bone before the blade hits the nerve And this cast iron stomach upholds my constitution But the body is petty and keen on retribution Let's look at the checkbook and pray for absolution Got a tin can to the good lord hidden in the Lazy Susan Alabaster in Alsasia, it's as easy as it seems Hardly ever, everlasting but still happy to be part of the team And I save like Jesus and invest like Moses And I'm speaking far too loudly even though that you should know this Pack mules smuggle kindness because a smile bears the weight And being tired is convenient if it's all up to date And the congregation counts on me just like I count the stars And like if just as fascinating and nothing if bizarre I can set the table when the sun is setting in the west We're ordering more streamers though the party has all left Names are added to the ledger and faces to the queue And the moments become reckless before they form a coup

Allergens 02:59
lyrics
buy track
I understand there's a better man in me Who appreciates so selflessly Half a man who performs half amazingly Milestones for every boundary Allergens from the peanut gallery If I was smarter I'd blame society And I just want to run home Amortization and I'm coming down Consequences they're coming thick and fast If I was faster I'd have the inside track Trying too hard is what I'm best at Matinee the hell you say I'll be there to pick you up Laziness, that's what crazy is The time is what slows you up Or I'll just be there to clean you up Because it'll give me something to do And my days are filled with quiet Saline tears on this laugh riot

Earth 03:39
lyrics
buy track
Spasms in the chasms, Jones in the catacombs Chills in the glaciers, Chemical aphasia I need a fissure's fix, I need a tectonic taste I was a mountain peak And now I'm just the face I am the world, an addict In a global state of panic I am the all I am the end Fend off the fits with a little bit of senselessness No one suspects a thing they're all too busy arguing I nod off and hear you burn And thank Christ that they never learn A violent simple sphere I chip to fight the fear I just need one more. It's worth fighting for. I push off the sky For piece of peace that's mine But it never lasts It's always gone too fast

Slipped Disc 03:55
lyrics
buy track
Thicker than thread but thinner than rope It's not ecumenical if it's a matter of hope The fire in my heart is crawling up my sleeve Burning up the oxygen I need to breathe This house was a sinking ship But our love turned it into a sinking home Flaming out at an impressive clip And when the smoke clears there's only bone I'm an American by way of the Northeast Corridor Take a long walk into a short walk-in humidor I'm flipping tables so someone tell a priest There ain't no room for ghosts at this Thanksgiving feast Don't be afraid to tip the staff I'm suffocating but all I can do is laugh We used to be cellmates now we're just friends The reed may be broken bu the fun part still bends It's unlikely not unethical Just because there's pain doesn't make it medical Just ask Janice but don't tell Catherine You got a lot of power behind that pulpit You got a lot of panache behind that podium And It cuts like a knife Slipped a disc when All I did was shudder Hurt myself in my sleep Put your fear in the fridge if you think it won't keep

Classically Handsome 03:49
lyrics
buy track
I'm not the one who's making decisions Avoiding blame with expert precision The shop is closing, there's nowhere to go You shouldn't be speaking with those you don't know Next to the aorta, it starts with aborting Emotional blackmail, confidence extorting Shuffle the bricks and polish the mortar You're selling words for cents on the dollar Whispering in tongues when you may as well holler While bringing the dead to Friday night supper Bathing in almond milk while others in squalor Heads are kept down when the sky is most hateful None are forgiven even those who are faithful Quiet is wasted on those who can't hear it Grounding the ship when there's no one to steer it Fools like you are proof god exists Rise to the top while others subsist Blaming the dead as the ink rises from the paper And then barrel through the crowd til you feel like it's safer Salting the earth where the soils most shallow Adding grain to the ground to keep it more hallowed Commenting on life when the weak begin dying Informed by ellipses with the gait of a giant Traipsing through trail mix cause the good lord supplied it You'll never know so better so why bother fight it. Mastered in mimicry, well-versed in the verses Concerned with the symmetry of daisy-chained hearses Grinding your teeth cause it stops you from spitting Landing the airwaves, the transponder's transmitting Sipping champagne as the headaches keep splitting Dying of irony which would be just as fitting The fog is so thick it's like marching through soup Breathing in vapors and what has become of you A concentrate of the lowest hanging fruit Aerated now airborne and barely above the root Taking advantage of the passenger van Dueling with duality, the flames backpedal to the fan
