Intellectual Roadblock 03:22
lyrics
buy track
Let me reframe the conversation From a radical demand I want everyone to love me And peace across the land Pillow talk of tree branches Shooting the breeze on climate change We can still practice “being present” But self-improvement, as it stands, is little more than selfishness these days Dirty talk of lightning bolts and coastlines Robots taking jobs from other robots further down the line In a world of controlled freedom Where you'll find me aging quietly in the arboretum watching the tourists go by On one hand, I’m a sinner, on the other hand a saint I care about the future, and I care about getting laid It’s poetry in motion, but it don’t come readymade I’m working on chaos theory, all the livelong day

Starting Over Again 04:48
lyrics

Starting over again Seen this movie before I’m just the man that my friends, have taken me for Starting from scratch I met a new girl I struck a new match, in the natural world The hat fits still, the cat’s been fed This industrial air, it goes straight to my head The sun rose from Japan Looking less like the sun and more the Japanese flag And I thought of all the friends I ever had And my mother, my brother, and the last time I saw my dad And my last girlfriend, and my next girlfriend And the river bend hotel steps to ascend For the Earth’s final end, and all the people who spend time there I will meet, starting over again We’ll all find jobs in Eds and Meds This post-industrial air, it goes straight to my head Knowledge economies Information technologies The breaking news cycle, and the book of Deuteronomy But whatever you wanna call it Whatever you wanna read, I mean choose to believe Do remember That we only got a finite time for a fine time And this may be the last time, a national pastime A national pastime… Starting from scratch Seen this movie before Struck a new match Once more

lyrics

I would do many things Many things for you Many things you could ask me Ask me to do I’d dye my hair gray I’d dye it today Would that be okay Oh, whatever you say I would do many things Many things for you Many things you could ask me Ask me to do I’d object at your wedding Call your mom when I’m drunk Break all your furniture Fix all your junk I’d clear our your fridge Max out your credit card Murder your boss Frame your ex-husband Oh, whatever the cost I would do many things Many things for you Many things you could ask me Ask me to do

Loops & Trends 03:55
lyrics
buy track
When I was young Had a question about the sun So I went up to my father He said ask your mother She said ask your teacher And the teach said ask your preacher But I didn’t have no preacher So I asked another teacher And she said ask your father And he said, “I don’t know” When I was a little older Had a question about a soldier Who came home from the war Different than before So I took my ass abroad And met a lovely broad But when I got back from abroad I had a question about a broad So I asked another broad And she said, “I don’t know” Well, if you’re fighting the good fight, count me in Just tell me when you want to do that thing we did, and I’ll help us win Terrorists, global warming, arbitrary groupings, everything Ex-girlfriends, open ends, loops and trends, fiery grins So I went back to university And I asked my program chair He said, you ever been to Australia? It’s cool as hell down there Well, if you’re fighting the good fight, count me in Just tell me pretty much anything, boss, and I’ll try to help us win Terrorists, global warming, arbitrary groupings, everything Kim Jong Un, Erdogan, Nic Maduro, Trump and Putin Holy God, a robot cop just shot a driverless car in the wheel! Holy God, a robot cop just shot a driverless car in the wheel! Holy God, a robot cop just shot a driverless car in the wheel! Holy God, a robot cop just shot a driverless car in the wheel! Ex-girlfriends, open ends, loops and trends, fiery grins Loops and trends, fiery grins

No Words 03:13
lyrics
buy track
No words express what I’m thinking No words do justice to the truth Try describing the rhythm of the masses Hammering away just to loosen a screw No human being can be the exception The exception to all the rules But dirty blondie, she believes otherwise Strips for me as I try to disagree No words express what I’m feeling No words cut right to the truth I got promoted this afternoon at work As if I needed any further proof My grandma tells me I’m a good-looking guy My friend Dave says, you gotta be reined in sometimes No words! Honey, let’s go back to hieroglyphics Live in a tent like Luddites on bread and wine The pace, the pace, the pace, the pace of technology Jesus Christ, for lack of a better phrase I heard they’re fabricating evidence for the apocalypse I heard you humming in the other room, the other day No words express what I’m thinking No words do justice to describing you Just that you’re nothing like the rhythm of the masses Hammering away just to loosen a screw

Advancing At Will 03:37
lyrics
buy track
Colonize the Americas Colonize the moon The human race is on a gander On the hunt for some answers, advancing at will Advancing at will, advancing at will The miracles of modern medicine Now we can live twice as long The golden age of Grandpas The golden age of cancer is advancing at will Advancing at will, advancing at will Make your desired move Make it quick or take it slow Or wait for the proper circumstance I see an avalanche of chances advancing at will Advancing at will, advancing at will

Uncomfortable 04:29
lyrics
buy track
You showed me how terribly I tied my tie, I picked out shoes I treated strangers, I judged the news I greeted neighbors, I ignored you Honey, it’s been a little while now Since you exploded in a rage at the miracle of life But I dreamed of you again, you had gotten out of bed You were scavenging the wall in the darkness for the light You make me You make me so terribly uncomfortable You showed me how terribly sentimentally I would bring you coffee and spill conspiracies From the way we act and think, to the Great Egyptian Sphinx, To why we smoke and drink, to the chemistry of love And the golden eye above, like an island in the night And how I must be crazy, for thinking I was right You make me You make me so terribly uncomfortable Uncomfortable, uncomfortable

Carolyn 03:01
lyrics

Carolyn, where you going? Where in Europe have you been the past six years since Barcelona? Haven’t heard your cry since then I’ve been in Asia, southeast Asia, far east Asia, and Malaysia And more than twice, I almost died And every time, I thought: I hope you’re still alive, Carolyn I hope you’re still alive I hope you're still alive, Carolyn To talk me in to meeting you In a city of your choosing I’ll be free the next two weeks Or you’re always welcome here I’d love to tell you face to face How I’ve longed to tell you to your face I’m sorry if you’re sorry Or happy if you’re happy, Carolyn I hope you’re still alive I hope you're still alive, Carolyn At last you wrote me, Carolyn Alive and flying in to Lisbon That’s not far from Barcelona Just a short flight or a night train Or let’s meet in old Pamplona Sevilla or Cordoba Or I’ll meet you there on the Atlantic With the sand beneath our blankets, Carolyn I hope you’ll stay alive Stay alive till then I hope you’ll stay alive So we may meet again I hope you’re still alive I hope you’re still alive, Carolyn

You gotta tell me twice, tell me twice You gotta tell me twice, to tell me right Positive or negative reinforcement, my love You gotta tell me twice, tell me twice You gotta tell me twice, to tell me right I’ll take no for an answer on the second time around, my love, my love Call me once, and I’ll ignore it I’ll assume it’s unimportant But if you call me twice, then it can only be An emergency Is it an emergency? It's an emergency, my love You gotta tell me twice, tell me twice You gotta tell me twice, to tell me right I’ll take no for an answer on the second time around I’ll take no for an answer on the second time around So I may know on the second time around So I may know for the second time around So I may know

Married Woman 02:22
lyrics

Married woman, why’d you leave him for me I ain’t got a lot of money, honey I ain’t gainfully employed I’m living out of a suitcase, in a hostel Would that be something you’d enjoy, married woman? Married woman, I like you more each day Don’t mind the ring on your finger Nor your family photos Your supermodel second cousins Your husband’s lawyer, Roberto, married woman Now you’re going back to your husband It's like going back in time The way things always were The way they’ll always be again, married woman Married woman, why’d you leave him for me? Married woman, I liked you more each day
