Wash Me 04:03
I ain't exactly what you'd call a free spirit but when I get something to say I'm gonna make you hear it hey, why don't you wash that fucking car? cause you know I wanna look cool when you gotta come get me from the bar there's a moment in every day when I know I'm killing it like a ghost limb that you can't see it don't help the feeling it I promise you're in the will but what you're getting's gonna get you dirty like an oil spill sorry you turned out the way you did your old woman she ain't much like mine was: a pharmacy you could find in the back of a school bus A scener in cutoff jeans in a stillwater shack the kind of girl you come to love for how she holds you back sorry you come out the way you did

trees are getting pushed around and losing all their leaves the inside of my body is a sklyline of debris I was looking for a friend and what I got was you so if you want to stick around I'll tell you what to do Put your hands in fire and turn away your eyes I can't stand to look at you hanging out with other guys forgetting words and rushin' out from behind the bar Has anyone ever said your body is built like a getaway car? Hurricanes never ask your name they want it back the way it was before you came and i gotta tell you that i feel the same dead leaves are blowing up the stairs and drifting in the hall i can't keep a tally of promises that i made in the fall there's a reason halloween only happens once a year it's cause the mask i put on baby only works when you come here The city's gonna flood tonight you can find me at the gym i'm building up resistance to the fact of you and him we better find a rooftop cause the water's gonna win the boat we're in is sinking, baby i shoulda told you i can't swim

every word that we speak is a nail in the coffin of my being free every look that we share promises misery in place of the happiness that's already there I have no doubt you belong in the chorus of lovers that i've thrown out and I am afraid of some drunken promise that I could've made Another kiss another night with the fellas that i'll have to miss another one of my failings to add to your list you got it right I'm as likely as anything to stay here tonight there's nothing in a motel off the freeway where you can't even swim Lord, give me a sign when it's safe to tuck tail and go running behind my work and my bottle they'll suit me just fine

Church 04:34
it's not what you ask of me it's what i want to do and there're some strong opinions here that could suffocate a room I'm at the store looking for the perfect tool I can use to reassemble the best parts of you don't ever forget it standard and metric you think you know what you're doing but you look like a fool I can thank California for its wine like a paintbrush soaking in some turpentine let's do the two-step in a roadside bar then pretend that we're sixteen in the back of a car poetic decisions in the soap opera haze never got me into trouble in my college days church lights why did we ever fight? and why did something that seemed so broken turn out right? I was downtown kicking up the street in a heroin necktie that couldn't be beat fucking politicians is all I said as I built a career out of becoming dead saw you spinning at a North Side gym oh my god, is she really going out with him Bonnie and Clyde what's the next line we named our kids after a No Smoking sign

What Else? 03:33
what else could have happened but death? bet that you haven't thought of something worse than that yet it took me a minute to see the way the grass and the leaves were all bobbin' their heads I know I rob and I steal, but relax cause the show will make up for what I couldn't hold back It's so beautiful here by the edge why you wanna go home? I'm just getting my bearings: the way that the atoms are stuffed in the skin that they're wearing you know I'm hooked and I can't stop staring I came into your world like a child throwing out an old toy looking out for a new one why can't you get back in the car? God, I know where we are I ain't asking directions but baby if you show me the door you know I never unpacked the best answer is to keep em guessing see, the thing that's gonna tear us apart takes the shape of a heart it's the devil pretending and all the other games that I played, well their memory just fades as I write down this ending:
