Anyhow

Track Sabbath got nothin on me
I’m a perpetual motion machine
I called the band and they’re good to go
They’re just dying to get on the scene
All these things I tell myself
Just to get me through the day
Trying just to build me up
When I know it doesn’t really matter
Anyhow
Neosporin and an IPA
It’s just a scratch mama I’m alright
Gimme a minute to collect myself
And I’ll jump back into the fight
All these things I tell myself
Just to get me through the day
Trying just to build me up
When I know it doesn’t really matter
Anyhow
I’ll write a bridge any way I want
I’ll take a break any time I need
Here goes nothing baby hold on tight
I’m gonna give it all away for free
All these things I tell myself
Just to get me through the day
Trying just to build me up
When I know it doesn’t really matter
Anyhow

Multi-Level
03:21

You’re an empath, at least ya told me so
You told me twice an hour ago
Didn’t I see you at the second show
Mean muggin the drummer like he just stole your blow
Multi-Level Scary Mary
The queen of her own scene
Multi-Level Scary Mary
Why you gotta be so mean
The children playin outside your window
You scream at them why can't you stop!
Don’t they know it’s 3 in the afternoon
And you’re about to call the cops, come on
Multi-Level Scary Mary
The queen of her own scene
Multi-Level Scary Mary
Why you gotta be so mean
Multi-Level Scary Mary
Walkin in the middle of her own dream
Multi-Level Scary Mary
Why you gotta be so mean
David’s picking fights
Martin’s goin through changes
Rob just keeps on spinning around

70 West (Tidal Wave)
04:11
|
|||
It never ends
Hauling through this conveyor belt country
And yet again
Time bends to the wind
It never felt so free
It's a long long way to go
When you're trying to swim through a tidal wave
The motor turns
Slowly, surely, to somewhere somehow
Horizon calls
Calmly I choose to put my foot down
It's a long long way to go
When you're trying to swim through a tidal wave

Work Of Mind
02:46
|
|||
Fault lines crack in the marble floor
Columns can't hold anymore
It's the ruins of the dreams of old
And the stories that you were told
Wait until you find it was all a work of mind
Shaking at your desk while you watch the news
Telling yourself you'd know just what to do
But you won't be ready for that call
You wouldn't know what to do at all
And that's when you find it's all a work of mind

It's Meta!
03:26
|
|||
Cassette case on your smartphone
Your in the box guitar tones
The way you click and drag on a knob and you say
I think it’s sounding warmer
When you work at a click farm, it’s meta!
To buy your plays from a click farm, it’s meta!
The band you’re ripping off ripping off all the bands you wish you ripped off first, it’s meta!
Drip drip drip
Speculative investments
In two dimensional breasteses
The ad for fresh queezed orange juice when you were thinking bout tomorrow’s breakfast
Andy Kaufman’s career, it’s meta!
The one and only Billy shears, it’s meta!
The remixed compressed approximation of all your favorite records from the golden years, meta!
Drip drip drip
The filter fixing your face
The new improved human race
The culturally vague ethnically vague answer to all of life’s problems
You own a football team but it’s meta!
You’re into threesome scenes but it’s meta!
The background of your conference call is the Bahamas but your supervisor knows where you are, meta!
Drip drip drip!

Find me at the Rio
Got my Zeppelin shirt on
The boys are on the rooftop
Gonna get it all night long
But one lucky motherfucker met his wife tonight
This motherfucker gonna change his life tonight
It's getting kinda real
Sun is on its way
Now that I have found you
I think I'm gonna stay
One lucky motherfucker met his wife tonight
This motherfucker gonna change his life tonight

Child Celebrity Soldier
04:05
|
|||
You sure do love your child celebrity soldier
He’s a big man in your eyes
Only barely grown, not workin on his own
And fighting for the way of life you’ve known
You say it’s self defense when your little soldier
Came armed from out of state
Flashing little fingers curled up in hate
And you act like it’s just “OK”
You might not say it out loud
But I hear it clear as the crystal blue sky
It’s a wink and a smile
It’s all between the lines
And a paper trail of likes
Now I know
You sure do love your stupid supplement spokesman
The host who’s paid the most
Handing the soapbox over to hustlers
Disbarred doctors and reality destructors
And now you march behind celebrity soldiers
Your heroes all gone dark
Following fearful masculine orders
With artillery at your borders
How did they get through to you
I know your heart, it is so much better
Than to fall for the poison flooding the feed
I hope you’re still out there listening

Wednesday (1 5 4)
02:44
|
|||
Sometimes came rarely
But often enough to make me never try
To say goodbye to my old ways
Before I know it it's Wednesday
Other times you can find me
Walking the hallways of my dreams
It never seems to make more sense
Than it ever did
But I just need a couple chords
1, 5, 4
To get me through
Don't overthink it, man
My life is a series
Of parallel wins I feel I didn't earn
Even though I burn it at both ends
And give them every Saturday
It's an honor, it's an outrage
To be working all the time
But I know I'm doing it all to myself
But I just need a couple chords
1, 5, 4
To get me through
Don't overthink it, man
Don't overthink it, man!

The Radio Shack
03:55
|
|||
A boy of his time I was happening
I was the future of the future of now
The demographicists had their golden eye on me
Everywhere I went they ran to take a bow
But then the Radio Shack became a Halloween store
The guitar magazines ain’t really selling anymore
And a bank I never heard of stole the baseball park
The channels I loved all went dark
When I wasn’t looking
With pegs on the axles and grease on the chain
I could get across the tracks in no time at all
With the right mix in the walkman I could roll all day
I would jump back up from the bloodiest fall
But then the Radio Shack became a Halloween store
The guitar magazines ain’t really selling anymore
The joints I never noticed start to stiffen and fade
I grew a little extra at the core
When I wasn’t looking

One More Favor
02:56
|
|||
Every morning I wake up thinking
What do I get to make today
Every night I lay down buzzing
With the songs from the day
And it's all thanks to you, I can be true
Go where inspiration flows
But if I could be so bold to ask one more
Favor before I go
With all of the love in the world...
