lyrics
they tell me everything's alright they tell me everything's just fine long as delivery from droned flight and some of us are swaddled in those city lights they tell me everything's alright gentrifying hordes really help blight you can fall back to ssri, but not some walden pond-like escapist flights everything's ooo... so let's walk after dark, bury mental hatchets by the park  here we go, blasting headphones  yeah we'll walk after dark, bury mental hatchets by the park  heaven knows... nothing so far as sayings go, I think ne'er do well sayings can go to hell  yeah everything's gonna be alright sorry bob marley to ironize  just sip ipa and swipe right keep workin, playin hard in those city lights they tell me everything's alright tell me to accept and normalize no politics at dinner, nor show night  better buckle up, let chaos drive for awhile  everything's ooo... so let's walk after dark, bury mental hatchets by the park  here we go, blasting headphones  yeah we'll walk after dark, bury mental hatchets by the park  heaven knows... nothing so far as sayings go, I think ne'er do well sayings can go to hell  they tell me everything they tell me everything they tell me everything gonna be just fine, a-ok with wine

redwood 04:24
lyrics
won't you come with me to the brook and skip some stones as we endure verdant evergreens of sorrow like heavy pebbles resisting their own gravity  we'll skip through life's choppy waters and sing through the breeze and don't you give up on who you are even through life's splintering redwood falls and though we know astrology's a farce we can still lay and count our lucky stars let's unfurl an old woolen picnic blanket and in this dappled moment find respite though mind's foliage usually blocks out the warmth we still have each other's embracing arms so don't you give up on who you are even through life's splintering redwood falls and though we know astrology's a farce we can still lay and count our lucky stars

bide my time take it slow the summertime comes before long i met a girl her name, it brought the least pleasure anhedonia she rolls off the tongue with a little exertion shifty, pulls an end run around your lethargic efforts to buck her bide my time this grey will end, it will but not before she's had her fill the mirror stage comes with its costs but upon reflection this old bird has greater claws she rolls off the tongue with a little exertion shifty, pulls an end run around your lethargic efforts to buck her

mini city heart attack 03:32
lyrics
my backpack is full of paperbacks i am not remotely close to finished w yet they'll still be here long after I'm dead  strolling from one dusty apartment bookcase to the next  debating amongst themselves whose owners' taste  they signified best just another day as a nervous wreck, another mini city heart attack i'm stuck in soho hell, what a plastic scene if everyone's so hot why is the makeup layered down like the pleistocene -- any geologists here? man forget about williamsburg, it is the new disney world, the museum in virginia is more authentic  although the french tourists in bk can talk sartre convincingly like they've read him just another day as a nervous wreck, another mini city heart attack oh god here I go again, with the esoteric writing speak to the kids, music lovin' 20somethins ... the demographics! so says my mental publisher alienated teenagers, anything for a dollar, but here's the thing: even 'vernacular' is a five dollar word-- come on, four quarters? just another day as a nervous wreck, another mini city heart attack

simone 06:10
lyrics
never ever meant to be so cruel  never meant to show bad times  never meant for you to play the fool though it's often possible now with my mind  never ever needed xanadu  just a dose of sap, a moment of your time a xanax with merlot would also do to help me find a savvy closing line  you want me girl, better wait for me to learn your wild eyes still sway the mercurial you want me girl, better wait it out, i'll eventually shout I'm no slick casanova  so au revoir my de beauvoir hello siesta  walking in the morning sun like I never had no doubt  and if there's anything you want I'll be sure to track it down if there's anything you'd like to hear, well.. always always have to be so true always must provide the greatest time  and if we're being confidantes with booze don't confidently go through with grand designs always always reaching for the stars  til those pleiades offer polite applause  never a moment of filler or lark   can't play at ease with ballads this serious  where were we? oh yeah some prick's emotional story singin' woe is me for mistakes he keeps making so you want her, man? better understand girls are wont to stand for this hem and haw'n so au revoir my de Beauvoir hello siesta walking in the morning sun like i never had no doubt  and if there's anything you want I'll be sure to track it down if there's anything you'd like to hear, well.. if those bored people watchers on the hot subway would stop making me feel so damn queasy then maybe i'd find something sweet to say yeah maybe I'd write a great tragedy oh If those bored people watchers on the hot subway would stop making me feel so damn queasy then maybe I'd find something sweet to say yeah maybe i'd write a great tragedy

multiverse 05:37
lyrics
i'll give my whole heart to you if you but give me yours, too and in this moment we choose our fingers crossed, all ruse no don't you even try cuz we're twisted like a windsor tie no don't you even try too exhausting to conjure alibis i give up,  now what in the world are we to do? a sacred order or a wild gonzo zoo too much to take in, never enough to consume  two broads options but everything confused oh yes take it as it comes cuz all's nothing but electric stimulus oh yes do it if you dare grinning devils everywhere and the cherubs are all so square  but they're the ones who are so insincere the way she moves it's like the past begun again a boom, the multiverse has sung it goes on and on, it goes on and on all my love to you, all my love to you, when only kitsch will do, and nothing could be more true well except anything cerebral

sunday 04:55
lyrics
new trend on the subway: some minor grafitti maybe we're bout to go back to the late 70s well I guess won't be all bad, least rent will be dirt cheap  roll the die, avoid the crime, do whatever you can for free  o but this is just me on existential dread sunday  throw in a thunderstorm and I'll start imagining doomsday -- as a preference now i cant help but thinking that someday high rise luxury buildings will be the next dive for some crust punk kids squatting  they got floor to ceiling windows, marble kitchen islands, and all brokers will be more broke  than machines for washing and drying, o but this is just me on existential dread sunday throw in a thunderstorm and I'll start imagining doomsday -- as a preference so our mad max kids have each other's arms and toxic fumes are a helluva drug beats the shit out of getting the shit beat out of you for your dry sticks am I really that far off, am i really that astray? all I know is that if true, graffiti's the new chauvet

the desert 03:51
lyrics
when left for dead advisable not to hold your breath  abandonment is like  miles and miles of desert  watch the mirage and just laugh at the waves better than hoping for water where have all my friends gone? must've got lost in all their fun... let's get urban  no need to cover it up with turbans the resentment   is like scaffolding outside your apartment first it starts off as a cleaning job  then it sulks on the sidewalk for years where have all my friends gone? must've got lost in all their fun... reaching out must be so damn hard like tap water in berlin showers where have all my friends gone? must've got lost in all their fun... reaching out must be so damn hard like tap water in berlin showers

rusted 03:30
lyrics
rusted out  brittle breaks the strong and stout oxidation  when a state ends a good run  or has it just begun?  fossilized what is rigid was once agile  calcification when a state ends a good run  or has it just begun?

little spoon 03:26
lyrics
the drinks are tall, the dress is short the way you swirl your straw makes me squirm  but i tell you the sunset at night the rays better than don delillo could write and i'll be your little spoon if you'll be mine  and i'll be your little spoon if you'll be mine   i'll be your little spoon if you'll be mine  i'll be your little spoon so then we take our turns yes we roll our bodies over and we take our turns yes we we roll our bodies over the night is old, the day is young but that never stopped the buzzed from cutting their fun a cig as staff, all are rapt as you hold court   tell me how you rule, i'm your jester  and i'll be your little spoon if you'll be mine  and i'll be your little spoon if you'll be mine   i'll be your little spoon if you'll be mine  i'll be your little spoon so then we take our turns yes we roll our bodies over and we take our turns yes we we roll our bodies over

zoom dates 02:34
lyrics
send him a note 'let's do the right thing'  always be sure to mask your face rubbing elbows among other things  they say never to let a crisis go to waste covered in rubber, we're sanitary, grasping for some semblance of sanity we're lockdown lovers who matched last week loneliness be gone, keep six feet away  when you can stand no more zoom dates and you may only know user names a yes or a no no need to feel shame cdc knows everyone has needs  picnics are dope but then there's the rain...  summers in NY always steamy  subaltern culture, but medically safe who says a dungeon's necessary? we're gonna recover, be a thing to see until then the times suggests the kinky   when you can stand no more zoom dates and you may only know user names

isolation 03:35
lyrics
and when the latches go down  isolation putting on face of the clown isolation the days seem so upside down isolation the neat twine of time unwound isolation when hugs aren't loud and proud   isolation  pacing around and around isolation the sadness in you abounds isolation civilization run aground isolation the technology surrounds  isolation its waves, you cannot break out isolation  it's forcing you to be found isolation  networked even underground isolation oh how soft this room it's so pillowy, smells of ammonium but soft! what light through when no window to break? so I break inside my head  it's a multitude, uncle walt said  to be straightforward with you, not much wrong with straightjacket in bed  who needs square footage when you have had terabytes?  please enjoy the show, there ain't no terror biting at ones heels outside
