headed for disaster
not going home, anytime
I always knew you were right
so I didn’t listen
Smoking on the trainstop halfway down the line
I dream of being a machine being a part
of the unstoppable progress
tunnel through the mountain
and back into the light without a count in
I could slit my throat with stupid magazines but it won’t stop the engine
static on the station
how could I ever know
if no-one’s there to solve the boring mystery of electronic wires
and they’re pulling me down
to a place that I don’t know
and they’re pulling me down
to a place I think you knew all along
I dream of being a machine being a part
of the unstoppable progress

Long Distance

there’s no escaping your own time but there’s a long distance call
to the house where you were born and they wanna know
what happened to you too
your dad’s asleep in the backyard and he won’t mow the lawn
or hear the car alarm
that rings through your eyes
as long as you are alive and he says
I’m not sorry
I build a house that you burned down

Country Bleed

stabbed my girlfriend in the face thinking of Ben’s strategy
since that cloud’s been hanging there I don’t know what’s come over me
waiting for kingdom come
in a dead tree, in a dead tree waiting for the coming fun
in a dead tree in a dead tree
some people leave and some come back
the rain’s been pouring since the major is dead
if this is vacation then we better head home
and if this is our home then we’re fucked fucked fucked fucked
there was someone on the road waiting there ahead of me looked a bit like Oleg there from My Twentieth Century
she said
if you go south long enough you will hear the country bleed if you go south long enough you will hear the country bleed you will hear the country bleed you will hear the country bleed you will hear the country bleed
some people leave and some come back
the rain’s been pouring since the major is dead
if this is vacation then we better head home
and if this is our home then we’re fucked fucked fucked fucked

took a ride while you slept on the b-side
tank tracks blood red dead cat on the south side something’s coming up and down in my mind but I don’t wanna leave my trails behind
you needed more time
I said, alright
the first time it came up
I couldn’t see how big it was it’s happening again
I think we could hide away in good times
if I could break the mirror behind your eyes
I want to kill the prufrock with my gun
I want to taste the trace it left on your tongue and my hands are choking
but you seem alright
I wanna be the one that you see when you roll back your eyes
I wanna be the one that you see when you turn off the light
I wanna be the one that you see when you roll back your eyes
I wanna be the one that you see when you turn off the light

arcade animal band
winding down in portobello fooling around just for the day and sitting on ancient ruins making rollies
I didn’t know how
but you taught me to
water drops make rainbows
on the screen of my iphone
and I don’t mind killing my own time but it gets better when we’re together
taking the bus from your house
the road splits up at 27
never got off just come back around I’m sorry we never got to be friends I’m just a fucking stranger
never end up better than that
water drops make rainbows
on the screen of my iphone
and I don’t mind killing my own time but it gets better when we’re together
lying awake in a bed for one with two

I’m not worried about forever
I don’t worry about forever cause there’s no way this mountain will end
there’s a young man in your head hums so absent soon forgets that there’s no way he’ll have your back
but you call him up
when you’re drunk
and you need the world to make some kind of sense
I’m not worried about forever
I’m not worried about forever
my big brother Christian singer
scarred my arms to keep my head straight when nothing’s coming it’s hard to wait and I fear it might be too late
and I see you
but when you come around are you low on nicotine
or just annoyed to see me

Wheel

if there was a voice
on some end of the line calling out since 1995
I could climb ashore
move back to the countryside say goodnight long time
but you like to keep both your hands on the wheel you like to keep both your hands on the wheel
if there was a choice
i would go to your mother’s house drink tea with her
and wait for you to come home
if I learned a song you know
you could sing along
I’d make you dance or smile
that would be fun
but you like to keep both your hands on the wheel you like to keep both your hands on the wheel
