The Girl Who Broke Apart 03:13
lyrics
She was lovely in the summer She was haunted in the fall She would break upon descension Like a comet to the ground Once I tried to levitate her Keep her up there like a star But she faded in the daylight and the next night she was gone It didn’t matter at all Drew some pictures but they faded of the places we would go Dying lakes and prairie landfills Near the strip mines and the malls Broken windows we would walk through Dusty shelves we kissed upon The grey moon rose over dirt roads In a town that once was home Heard she moved to California Wound up on some TV show Endless summers, medication, antique faces and false stars

Ne'er Do Wells 03:42
lyrics
buy track
In my town, blue cameras all around the block to keep all of us ne’er do wells from all the other ne’er do wells and such Why would we slow down There’s beauty all around We ride along until we’re gone Carefree days have they really gone away? They say there was a time when all was well but charades are often found in yesterdays we know Why would we slow down? Lighting up this town We ride along until we’re gone Beneath the waterline Beneath the walls of mine There’s a place where the pavement glows when it rains When we were young we used to hide behind the graves and say our names If you’re sitting with my ghost wait for me At the center of all things flying free There’s a river of darkness underneath Carry us together where it leads In my town we hang with all the ne’er do wells We celebrate and dare to tell and toast to other ne’er do wells and such

Town Between Towns 02:19
lyrics
In a town between towns, sun goes down in riddles Drove through dawn to lonesome songs, reached the Mississippi River Let it go Watch the boats cross the river Fuck it all We were blips on the radar Allyson we were wrong, this is what we become With the sun melt away, we were never meant to stay Shut it down Watch the boats cross the river Fuck it all We were blips on the radar Let it roll down We won’t be found

Get Out or We'll Stay 02:35
lyrics
They’ll never stay, stay with you gone You’ll never change, don’t want to break, fall apart Loraine the summer days are leaving you now Loraine the summer days are leaving you... believe in you Don’t want to fade, only shadows in this place In outer space, just a dark and empty place Get out of our way Get out or we’ll stay There’s no one in this place There’s no one

Perennials 03:12
lyrics
We were just hanging on the corner near that drug store Could have been yesterday, tomorrow, or was that your dream disappearing? Still see you, still see you everywhere I go Can’t see you, can’t see you anywhere I go We were just talking about religion and a friend we both knew She used to live down on Division And it just seems so strange to never see her again We came and went, the time we spent The order and disorder The rush of life, the loves we’ve lost The laughter and the boredom We were just hanging on the corner near that drug store Could have been yesterday, tomorrow, or was that your dream disappointing?

The End of the Novel in Your Head 02:59
lyrics
I am the secret in your head One that keeps you turning in your bed I am the seashell to your ear Waves from oceans of fear All of the people form the chain of then Back in the age of Victoria Days of sunshine, days of moonshine Days the sun shines, days the moon shines I am the truth that you bend Lies and echoes that you send Tell the story that you dread The end of the novel in your head We woke to the party never ends She said the ice is glowing He said the world is folding

Zoom 04:02
lyrics
It’s a celebration go get high It’s a meditation close your eyes Take some medication to calm your mind Sometimes you crash, sometimes you glide Often in the end we dive The summer sun is way too bright She says the world has gone to shite The winter sun is way too low Burrow under covers, into caves we go Often in the end we try Towns and fields all zoom by Light off the waves Time slips away The sun sets through haze The moons rising face There goes a train in the driving rain A photo of a mystic only you would save Often in the end we try Out of mind, out of sight In the end, we’ll make new friends And lose the songs we meant to send Loves we lost, tears we shed again Time it flies and then it bends through bluer skies or catacombs But in the end into the dark again (lights on/lights off) Don’t listen to that mystic with the blinding teeth Pretty sure he’s offering to take your things You are, you are, You were you were Bye-and-bye

Luci 04:04
lyrics
Luci’s a ghost in Club Soda Puts on her make-up in cars Outside the city is frozen Inside the tables are broken Luci, Luci out of time Her voice flickers and shines Dances her shoes off at parties The night of endless has started Come one, come all She won’t be long Luci’s a song in the morning Luci’s a psalm in the night She’s lost in someplace like Carbondale or Eu Claire She tucks a thousand flowers behind her ears on garden walks And in her lonesome way, she loves the way time has stopped And glances fill the tables, now she’s part of all the fables Luci’s a song in the morning Luci’s a psalm in the night All rows are mazes and hallways All things are blurry and bright

Glass Half Full 03:23
lyrics
Glass half full, bored of routine Glass half full, she took the words right out of my mouth Western world Sit down and laugh about it. How we were all about it Sit down and cry about it, how we were lost without it Last, last call, sit up straight Where’s our coats? It can’t be that late
11.
Day Drinking 02:35
lyrics
Day drinking out of head The day all hazy and bright Day drinking out of my mind Someone turn off the sunshine Play the saddest of songs, makes you lazy Play the saddest of songs, drives you crazy We really don’t know anyone Can’t get you out of my head Nights at The Get Me High Walking home we were snow-blind And too lost to be cool Day drinking out my head Can’t get you out of my mind
