Joe Cool (A Little "Something-Something" In Case Things Get Out Of Hand) 03:19
lyrics

a hardwood floor and paper tiles, and from now on I'll run for miles. but nothing's set and I don't know. there's nothing here that I can show. smile right through it all. I'll never lose control. I'll feel straight through the dark. can't let milk into my thoughts. nothing will be wrong. forget all the lime soda. nothing can be wrong. forget lime soda. nothing will be wrong. gotta take it like it comes. don't you forget it. you don't get me and my friend joe.

Insect Americans 02:47
lyrics

so I let it fall. I'm not one to waver. stuck with symbolic talk to keep up with my neighbors. my goddamn brain and all the names. what I can't show. that's how it goes. like a baseball game, I'm running where I'm aiming. that is why I fail, but I'm going lion taming. I just can't wait and it's taking so long. I'm so damn tired of singing fucked up songs. formless figments crowd bridges and canals. yeah, I'll let it fall, but I'm one to waver. so I'll take so long, but at least I'll keep up with my neighbors. afraid to kill a part of me; to slap my face and finally see. scared to change my stupid thoughts; to breathe fresh air and oh my god. everything looks like the sun and I'm screaming, "I wish someone told me to not wait so long!" nothing can bore me, I'm restless and beaming, and even the grass blades are singing a song. what I can't know. that's how it goes.

Outside Is In 01:46
lyrics

I swear I didn't mean to lock the door and leave us out. I didn't mean to kid your dad about his gout. I didn't want to tell your mom about my lungs. if I'm going to do this, I need some sugar. I need to get some goddamn life inside my mouth, 'cos I've been dead in there all evening. I'm licking where I'm bleeding and I'm bleeding where I'm licking. do I have to say this again? do I have to scream it in your ear? can you even goddamn hear? someday I'll meet walt whitman and he'll stories about the leaves of grass. what's out will all come in and what's in is coming out your ass.

effort doesn't help you, man. it isn't worth a shit. you have to learn to not try to get in state 26. we are motorcycle songbirds hailing from planet venus. you can see us. can you feed us? i could teach you japanese. we just want to sip fleegix, we don't respond to mind control. you can see us. come and feed us. can i have some more chili? YAHOOOO!! send me to 26. if you take my advice just once boys and girls, then don't let thoughts weigh you down in this world.

Why Not Sincerity Why Not? 04:11
lyrics

why not mean it? try to believe it. you're not so sick. why be a dick? just shoot me. I'm proud. say nothing right now. go and let it be known sincerity smiles flow free. just kill me. you're allowed. I'm dying right now. I just sat around so long, my head filled up, my ass gone numb. the thought just makes me cry.
