New Album Out Now
Lyrics
The Company Of Strangers
At a night time washstand you were staring me down You had me so
embarrassed And this restaurant crowd was oh so loud Your face had been
crying you were ravaged by jealousy You said look what love has done to me
We could slip out the back right now if you want to save me
Because I know to know I know you want me You start to haunt me I feel the
danger Do you like holding on to the company of strangers
You said promise not to kill me and I'll let you in Her apartment is cold
as a mace can She said I just want to get it I don't need to understand I
said show me your true face She said I'd rather wear a blindfold Truth be
told I want a robot A robot heart is all I want
If you were the one who knows me best
Tell me why
Why am I so so so so so so so depressed
I want to live a life of danger
I like holding on to the company of strangers
Chorus:
I like holding on to the company of strangers You are the one who knows me
best
In your eyes what you see
Is what you want me to be
So that's what I will be
What you want me to be
That's what I will be
What you want me to be
Fuh fuh fuck away the emptiness until you get caught In the loving arms of
a robot Till a robot heart is all you've got
If you were the one who knows me best
Tell me why
Why do I feel so so so so so second best I want to live a life of danger I
like holding onto the company of strangers
I like holding on to the company of strangers You are the one who knows me
best I like holding onto the company of strangers
Queen of Daydreams
I never wanted to know someone
As much as I want you
Never wanted to breakthrough
All of the secrets keeping me and you
From a better life and a better moment
If it showed up could you own it
Could you?
I never wanted to stay somewhere
So much as here today
Doing nothing with you means more than I can Say did you see that cloud It's like a UFO, lenticular Or so I hear You connect me to the atmosphere
You're like a Queen of Daydreams
Like a Queen of Daydreams
You said you've never been in love
I'd like to think you're thinking of me
When you're wishing for a brand new start And all we want's to pin down the heart You're much too young for moments come and gone You said can you know me now from my songs I don't know but you can sing along
You're like a Queen of Daydreams
Like a Queen of Daydreams
On your heart, can you feel it
In your heart, make it real
Don’t Give In
I’m on the side of everyone
Who wants to stay alive
Let’s go for a ride
On my motorbike
I can’t hear a thing
I know what you’re saying
Don’t give in
Say it now like a friend
Don’t give in
And I’ll you one thing that I’m not
I don’t think that I’m right
Cause I didn’t get caught
Tell me now, where you’ve been
Don’t give in, don’t give in
And the thing that's killing me
Is a vision of our life how’s it supposed to be
Without each other we’re nothing
Don’t give in
Cause when the sun roof top
It comes down
I am right by your side
It doesn’t work for you then don’t do it
Feel yourself again
It doesn’t work for you then don’t do it
Don’t live your life pretend
it’s nice to meet you
let’s go bare knuckle this season
if you lose your heart then you lose your reason
Swash buckle wearing thin
Don’t give in, don’t give in
What do you want me to do
Spend my brightness burning for you
Without each other we’re nothing
Don’t give in
it doesn’t work for you then don’t do it
Feel yourself again
it doesn’t work for you then don’t do it
Don't live your life pretend (?)
it’s nice to meet you
it’s nice to meet you
it doesn’t work for you then don’t do it
Feel yourself again
it doesn’t work for you then don’t do it
don’t live your life pretend
it’s nice to meet you
it’s nice to meet you
it’s nice to meet you
yeah, yeah, yeah
I’m on the side of everyone
Who wants to stay alive
Don’t give in
Say it now like a friend
Don’t give in
I love you more than anything
Don’t give in
Don’t give in
Don’t give in
Isn’t It Pretty
It was funny
Funny cause it’s hopeless
She’s fall down drunk on a Thursday
Pushes her laundry home in a cart like she’s homeless
She says I’m still so shady
Were you’re a princess bag lady
And I lose my thoughts
It’s not my fault they make drinks here with six fucking shots
It’s so strange
It doesn’t seem so strange
It’s been seven months
And we’re still twin flames
And I moved on
Still she’s brimming with charm
That perfect skin touched my arm
The kind that can win you
The kind that singe you
We bumped shoulders in the bar and the sparks still there
She said you could have me
If you cared enough I dare you
I know that I still scare you
you and me can make that future grow
Isn’t it pretty to think so
Isn’t it pretty to think so
Said lately I’m doing fine
I’m on the mend
But every time I hurt again
Cause the truth is that I miss you every day
Sound of your voice
The way you sleep
And your heart and how deep it beats
When you hold me than I think I’m getting played
We bumped shoulders in the bar and the sparks still there
She said you could have me
If you cared enough I dare you
I know that I still scare you
you and me can make that future grow
Isn’t it pretty to think so
Isn’t it pretty to think so
I’m on the road for a month of shows
That’s when I miss her
That’s when our distance grows
600 miles away
From the night we were before
I remember we were trying
For something more
Flight arrivals, SFO
Are the loneliest place I know
And she’s back with that bar keep
And I just want to sleep and watch Netflix
In my big ass house
Creeping on what I can’t fix
And now there’s someone new
Hammered into real
Changes how I feel
Not mangled, not triangled
No it’s time to let it go
Isn’t it pretty to think so
Isn’t it pretty to think so
You and me can make our future grow
Isn’t it pretty to think so
Isn’t it pretty to think so
Big black glasses and baby glow
Life is ours at the after show
Watch it grow, watch it grow
Isn’t it pretty to think so
Sherry Is A Stoner
The good people of Oshkosh
Have it all worked out for you
Just follow along
Like there’s nothing else you could chose to do
But take a look at this one
And wonder what lies beneath
There’s gotta be more to a smile
Then lips and teeth
She’s getting knocked out of place
Oh it’s hard to put a smile to that face
Cause Sherry is a stoner
From Oshkosh Wisconsin
I never really knew her
Sherry is a stoner
I feel like
I feel like
I feel like she’s out the window
Like the straight and narrow
Cause there's some place out there
She can feel down to the bone marrow
Through the skin in her hair
Kept up in this town like a cage
Pimped out when she comes of age (?)
Be a good girl
Live a dutiful life
Keep it buttoned down
One day you'll be a wife
So much you didn’t know about her
Sherry is a stoner
From Oshkosh Wisconsin
I never really knew her
Sherry is a stoner
Ever really feel like you new someone
You think it's buttoned down but buttons come undone
Well you should try again
Oh, you should try again
She don’t let the dub step stop
She wouldn’t do it if she can
Busting through the door
Like the koolaide man
Singing hey, everybody, whomp whomp whomp
Hey everybody whomp whomp whomp (?)
Sherry is a stoner
From Oshkosh Wisconsin
I never really knew her
Sherry is a stoner
Sherry is a stoner
From Oshkosh Wisconsin
I never really knew her
Sherry is a stoner
Weightless
Summer, your ripped jeans are torn
Suh dude, you were screaming
I'd rather die than waste
Let me taste it
I never loved anything that didn't scare me Huck it off everything and come up smiling I want to get weightless I feel so weightless
What do I do with this freedom
Is this a rage to live
Or a death wish dreaming
Summer gods got me screaming
I never loved anything that didn't scare me Huck it off everything and come up smiling I want to get weightless I feel so weightless
Sometimes I feel like I can't make it home Sometimes I feel like I take in all the scenery on my own What's the price what do I miss I want to get to the place where that's all there is Some times I feel like I can't make it home
How many times
Has my heart flat lined
I think that I have lost my voice for you I think that I've become paper thin And all see through From the margins to the core I want to feel it just a little more I think that I have lost my voice for you Do you understand me I want to be anialated Perfect obliterated, oh oh you're not going to make it All suh dudes well there just phonies And all the girls are sparkle ponies Do you understand don't let my heart Go flat line
I never loved anything that didn't scare me Huck it off everything and come up smiling I want to get weightless I feel so weightless
Cop Vs. Phone Girl
Shakara showed up to class and she pulled out her mobile phone
It’s the one thing that she owns to keep her known
She’s an orphan now she just moved to a foster home
That phone keeps her connected, she’s gonna keep that shit protected
The teacher said ‘Get out of the class’
‘Come on can I stay’
And to his shame, he said the call’s been made
I hear foot steps sounding eager, of a cop that’s about to beat her
Now I am all.. I am all for the good fight
And if the cops roll by, throw a peace sign
Say hey baby have a good night
I am all for the good fight
And if the cops roll by, let the colors go blind
Say hey the kids, hey hey the kids
Are Alright
Officer Slam came and threw Shakara backwards against the wall
I mean he flipped her just like a rag doll
And broke her arm
Tossed her across that room, face down on the deck
He puts his hands around a 16 year old girls neck
Now I am all.. and I am all for the good fight
And if the cops roll by, throw a peace sign
Say hey baby have a good night
I am all for the good fight
And if the cops roll by, let the colors go blind
Say hey the kids, hey hey the kids
Are Alright
All the kids are alright
All the kids are alright
It’s a lot to take in, I’ll keep it simple
On the classroom floor, there’s a little blood splatter
Why’s it so hard to say Black Lives Matter
Doesn’t it mean that you’re anti-white
Take it from me, I’m super fucking white
And on the tele
Hey that’s Niya Kenny
On the Kelly file
She said Fox News corps is proud of you
You’re a girl that stood back to a brutal attack
Come do a victory lap, come get a clap on the back
Hey I fooled you, that never really happened
I mean come on man, could you imagine?
So, I take it in my hands
I talk about this shit in my rock band
And I got black fans, and I got fans with sun tans
And we all have the same demands
Now I am all.. and I am all for the good fight
And if the cops roll by, throw a peace sign
Say hey baby have a good night
I am all for the good fight
And if the cops roll by, let the colors go blind
Say hey the kids, hey hey the kids
Are Alright
All the kids are alright
All the kids are alright
I mean come on, could you imagine
Come on, could you imagine
