I’m empathetic, I’m pathetic, I’m so sweet you’re diabetic, a hectic, dialectic, wrecked it Ralph Mediocre begins with me, do re mi fa so la ti, I’m Bill Withers with sewing scissors, Lean On Me Incognito inconsistent, consternated magician’s assistant, I’m AOK, I’m so decay resistant. I want to be the one for someone, someone always leads to no one, knowin someone’s always so fun, oh I love you… In the morning, without a warning, forlorn and scorning this incongruity In the evening, it’s so misleading, can’t believe I’m grieving, this incongruity I’m sick, you’re sick, we’re all sick of Isaac, at the ice cream social I forgot my ice pick, the mother lode, or the rocky road, take yer pick Pent up glamour, pentagrammer, penthouse party, internet scammer, a Facebook bookcase, a Myspace space case, for scale here’s a bananer The bluest of the ocean hues are truer than my baby blues, this chordal reef lies through its teeth to you I want to be the one for someone, someone always leads to no one, knowin someone’s always so fun, oh I love you… In the morning, without a warning, forlorn and scorning this incongruity In the evening, it’s so misleading, can’t believe I’m grieving, this incongruity A slip up, a hiccup, hands up this is a stickup, went to the doctors to get a checkup, there’s nothing to see so what’s wrong with me, pick it up pick it up pick it up I’m a cute n cuddly cunning cutthroat, cutting corners just to stay afloat, the Sloop John B’s got nothing on me or my boat. The best coast ghost with most to boast, rug burned knees and burnt the toast, like awkward clockwork at the chalkboard, am I parasite or host? Heterotrophic, thalassophobic , livin in an environment that’s anaerobic, One fish, two fish, two if you flinch, got any sevens? go fish. I think the birds are sleeping, they’re so quiet tonight. I think the birds are sleeping, for some reason that’s alright I think the birds are sleeping, they are nowhere in sight. I think the birds are sleeping, for some reason that’s alright I like the birds. I like the birds, I like the birds alright I’m like the birds, I’m like the birds, I’m like the birds tonight I’m like the birds, I’m like the birds, I’m like the birds tonight

Have you ever felt like you're a little weird like The place that you belong is a billion miles from here like Something is wrong and you're missing all the signs like A strange sense of longing while looking at the sky? I'll tell you why. I'll tell you why. The truth ain't out there Its right here right now. The little men from outer space don't care about you anyhow. The men in black don't have your back And we will never make contact The truth ain't out there. Have you ever thought man I gotta get away like The Earth was nice to visit but I never planned to stay. If I hold my thumb out long enough I'm sure to get a ride But those lights up in the sky keep on passing me by. Passing me by. The truth ain't out there Its right here right now. The little men from outer space don't care about you anyhow. The men in black don't have your back And we will never make contact The truth ain't out there. You might not be leaving, but its not worth grieving There's still lots to see on the ground. The thing that your missing is not really missing What's not lost can never be found. The urge keeps on pulling you, its so insatiable How is this feeling allowed? But from what I have heard, when you're outside the Earth And you scream it does not make a sound. A sound. A SOUND. Because the truth ain't out there Its right here right now. The little men from outer space don't care about you anyhow. The men in black don't have your back And we will never make contact The truth ain't out there.

I was searching for the first thing that would appear in my mind, our political and economic conditions were the only things that I could find, If we had the means of production then I know what we would do, Let's paint this blue world black and red until that which should be becomes true, The police chief is in a limousine, running away from our guillotine, we are singing the utopian blues in the key of C, We are singing “we want it all”, the police chief is in a limousine, running away from our guillotine, we will communalize the land and all industries, when the summer turns to fall, I would be lying if I told that I was trying to follow the law, the means of freedom were dying, that was the last thing that I saw, before I found a way to run away from the castle of undead vampires, there is not enough water in this entire galaxy to quell our revolutionary fires, The police chief is in a limousine, running away from our guillotine, we are singing the utopian blues in the key of C, We are singing “we want it all”, the police chief is in a limousine, running away from our guillotine, we will communalize the land and all industries, when the summer turns to fall,

Sometimes I wish I was a werewolf so I could tear your throat out And snuggle with those little furry pups Wouldn’t it be nice to be a werewolf big teeth and claws and fur at night And a logical excuse to act up But you probably would slaughter me Find me hanging from a tree I wish I could be safe to be Just who I want to be If I wasn’t who you think I am Or even who you thought I’d been I know you’d string me up For all the cheering crowd I’d go running in the forest and scare all of your children As you tucked them into bed And for anyone out late at night they’d better hurry home because Otherwise the morning find them dead I’d see your smiling faces as I frantically looked down I’d see your thirsty faces lick the blood as it dripped down But that doesn’t mean I’m evil No it don't mean I’m wrong I’m just trying to survive And I know I won’t last long I’m starving and I”m freezing And I’m finding only pitchforks While you’re setting my home on fire You’re setting my home on fire...and I don’t know what to do

just because you can date all of your friends doesn’t mean that you should. just because you’re not dating all of your friends doesn’t mean that you can’t make out with them if you all want to. cuz it doesn’t matter if you’re gals being pals or just bros being bros or bros being gal pals, gal pals can be bros. i guess what i’m saying is gender doesn’t have to exist, now you can make out with your friends and be gay. buying things won’t make me happy and a job won’t either but i have to for now. but there is something that they can’t sell to us, its affection and support to and from all my friends. so i tell my friends i love them, kiss them on the cheek. it’s important to me they always know they are enough. so i tell my friends i love them, kiss them on the cheek. it’s important to me they always know that they are loved. cuz it doesn’t matter if you’re gals being pals or just bros being bros or bros being gal pals, gal pals can be bros. i guess what i’m saying is gender doesn’t have to exist, now you can make out with your friends and be gay.

well, you cannot disappear even when you're dead and gone you still have a body, you still have a body and i'll still get my point across even if you prove me dead wrong i don't listen to nobody, never listened to nobody probably explains why i don't know anything, always end up alone stuck out in the rain well, there's a murder of black birds all screaming the f word at me as i try to fall asleep on the concrete i've been here four days, still waiting on that double stack i'm all outta ideas, just sit and watch the empy tracks well i'm a crooked tooth quitter, i'm a stone sober sinner i'm the queen of damp clothes and cold dinner i've been here four days, still waiting on that double stack i'm all outta ideas, just sit and watch the empy tracks well, i've been slowly growing out of everything that i love i'm not gonna grow up, i don't wanna ((i'm still waiting)) ((i've been here four days, still waiting on that double stack i'm all outta ideas, just sit and watch the empty tracks))

Written while participating in a blockade of the Keystone XL pipeline, this song is dedicated to the indigenous activists who have protested and who continue to protest white supremacy and colonization while resisting the shipping of tar sands through sovereign land. lyrics Black snake, black snake carving through the land scaring life away breathing in tar sand Black smoke, black smoke choking out the light in the shadows, in the dark is where we take up the fight Slithering beneath the earth from magic northern realms the snake is just the messenger of demons at the helm who from their corporate fortress humans' legacy decide conceal with screens and flashing lights the quickly rising tide it's coming, oh it's coming the witches of the world who haven't yet been burned are rising up to fight the executioners in turn they summon up the spirits of the soils and of the tress who now, exploited for to long, are shaking themselves free the ground is shaking the sky is breaking the earth won't stand for the mess we're making maybe none will be spared the wrath of crusty earth the demons and the witches all bear the human curse but maybe when the skies are blue again we'll start anew grasp life for the many from the clenched jaws of the few we're coming, oh we're coming Black snake, black snake carving through the land scaring life away breathing in tar sand Black smoke, black smoke choking out the light in the shadows, in the dark is where we take up the fight
