All My Friends / Cape Cod 03:46
lyrics

All my friends don’t like you That’s not gonna stop me They’re clicking croquet balls While I’m skippin’ heartbeats They think you’re a dummy They think that you’re no good I think they don’t know you I think you’re misunderstood I think we should catch some rays And I think you should show your tan And I think we should hit the pool And I think we should hit the sand All my friends don’t like you But all my friends aren’t like me They’re in shallow water I wade only where it’s deep All my friends don’t like you All my friends don’t like you I don’t think there’s anything wrong with wanting more, more from life Hyannis, here’s to ya I saw the sun reflect in her eye For the very last time Miles away But in that moment we were there in my mind In my mind Cape Cod, Cape Cod Is what you’re dreamin’ of Sun dresses, sail boats A drunken brunch toast (It was the most embarrassing thing, be careful) Cape Cod, Cape Cod No point closer to God Sunsets, ringed smoke It’s what I want most Lover, here’s to ya I saw your face reflected in the smoke I can’t let go Hearts at play A kiss as the wind blows us away Across the bay Cape Cod No point closer to God God Cape Cod, Cape Cod No point closer to God Sun dresses, sail boats It’s what I want most

I like going to restaurants and Any place you wanna walk and Saying nothing about it to no one I like going to record stores and Being Kafka on the shore and Saying nothing about it to no one Baby, baby, don’t cha love me? Don’t cha wanna go and hit the waves? I can take all of your pain away If you’re lonely, just say you’ll stay Baby, baby, don’t cha need me? Don’t cha need me like a hurricane? You’re the beauty and I’m the rage And eternal summer is the cage It-it’s the cage It-it’s the cage It-it’s the cage I like going to Sunday brunch and Spiking the bowl of punch and Saying nothing about it to no one I like getting drunk at the park and Scary stories in the dark and Saying nothing about it to no one Baby, baby, don’t cha love me? Don’t cha wanna go and hit the waves? I can take all of your pain away If you’re lonely, just say you’ll stay Baby, baby, don’t cha need me? Don’t cha need me like a hurricane? You’re the beauty and I’m the rage And eternal summer is the cage It-it’s the cage It-it’s the cage It-it’s the cage It’s the cage It-it’s the cage It-it’s the cage It-it’s the cage Don’t cha love me, baby don’t cha love me? Don’t cha love me, baby don’t cha love me? Don’t cha love me, baby don’t cha love me? Don’t cha love me? Don’t cha love me, baby don’t cha love me? Don’t cha love me, baby don’t cha love me? Don’t cha love me, baby don’t cha love me? Don’t cha love me? Baby, baby, don’t cha love me? Don’t cha wanna go and hit the waves? I can take all of your pain away If you’re lonely, just say you’ll stay Baby, baby, don’t cha need me? Don’t cha need me like a hurricane? You’re the beauty and I’m the rage And eternal summer is the cage It-it’s the cage It-it’s the cage It-it’s the cage It’s the cage It-it’s the cage It-it’s the cage It-it’s the cage

Did ya wanna walk the shore Get me outta my mind? It’s been sugar, it’s been sweet Like a gnashing in my teeth I don’t wanna be the bad guy But we do what we know Guess I’ll always be that guy An eternal riptide I’m your man I’m your man Smokin’ cigarettes in the sand I’m your man Yeah, I’m your man Gettin’ lost in the waves Drinkin’ a coke can Ah ooh, ah ooh Say you wanna hit the bar Just to see what it’s like The flies buzz around And I feel dead inside I don’t wanna be the bad guy But this isn’t the vibe I want beach cabanas I want sunset Bahamas I’m your man I’m your man Smokin’ cigarettes in the sand I’m your man Yeah, I’m your man Gettin’ lost in the waves Drinkin’ a coke can Ah ooh, ah ooh Ooh, ah ooh I’m your man I’m your man But not for long That’s the plan

Sam (And Me) 03:57

A hop, skip, and jump to red roses Overall, I like how it’s goin’ In the garden, pocket full of posies Dry ‘em out, and keep ‘em like a trophy Have you ever had an endless summer? Dandelion chains, one tied to another Each one’s just the mystery The mystery of love, you’ll see Have you ever had an endless summer? Dandelion chains, one tied to another Each one’s just a memory A memory of Sam and me A memory of Sam and me A fresh deck of cards split between us Long nights of killing our genius The sky splits and it roars with sound as We jump on the train southbound Put the victrola on and Come sing me your favorite song Have you ever had an endless summer? Dandelion chains, one tied to another Each one’s just the mystery The mystery of love, you’ll see Have you ever had an endless summer? Dandelion chains, one tied to another Each one’s just a memory A memory of Sam and me A memory of Sam and me A memory of Sam and me I don’t wanna take the train back yet I’m having so much fun Don’t you know that a day like this Is never really done? I don’t wanna take the train back yet I’m having so much fun Don’t you know that dandelion chain don’t break It just goes on Have you ever had an endless summer? Dandelion chains, one tied to another Each one’s just the mystery The mystery of love, you’ll see Have you ever had an endless summer? Dandelion chains, one tied to another Each one’s just a memory A memory of Sam and me Have you ever had an endless summer? Dandelion chains, one tied to another Each one’s just the mystery The mystery of love, you’ll see Have you ever had an endless summer? Dandelion chains, one tied to another Each one’s just a memory A memory of Sam and me A memory of Sam and me A memory of Sam and me

Losing Track 04:46

Flip-flops hitting on pavement Did someone say vacation? Pull up to the old spot Put your board shorts on and tear it up I don’t care if the world is burnin’ As long as all those waves keep churnin’ And if you’ve got a problem with that Maybe go back to school and do some learnin’ I’m in a summer state of mind And I roll with you like we roll in the tide And I’m losing track of time Losing track of time I’m in a summer state of song And I invite you fondly to sing along ‘Cause I’m losing track of rhyme Losing track of rhyme No shirt, no shoes, no service Love notes written in cursive Pull in the to carhop P ut your boombox on and turn it up I don’t care if I should be workin’ As long as that big star keeps burnin’ And if you’ve got a problem with that Maybe pick up slack while I’m out here surfin’ I’m in a summer state of mind And I roll with you like we roll in the tide And I’m losing track of time Losing track of time I’m in a summer state of song And I invite you fondly to sing along ‘Cause I’m losing track of rhyme Losing track of rhyme I’m losing track of it all Like a final missed call I’m losing track of it all I’m losing track of it all Spinnin’ like a carousel I’m losing track of it all I’m in a summer state of mind And I roll with you like we roll in the tide And I’m losing track of time Losing track of time I’m in a summer state of song And I invite you fondly to sing along ‘Cause I’m losing track of rhyme Losing track of rhyme I’m in a summer state of mind And I roll with you like we roll in the tide And I’m losing track of time Losing track of time I’m in a summer state of song And I invite you fondly to sing along ‘Cause I’m losing track of rhyme Losing track of rhyme Baby, I Baby, I Baby, I I fell apart Baby, I Baby, I Baby, I I fell apart

Super Dark 02:24

See the moonlight on the sea Echoing but as a gleam Picture perfect memory Nothing can bring me down When did the sound of waves Become my favorite sound? Nothing can bring me down From this merry-go-round The sun goes down and it’s super dark And the planets align like oligarchs And we break through the chains To love and be loved by all we’ve gained The sun goes down and it’s super rad And we dance in the night like hellcats And we break through the chains To love and be loved by all we’ve gained The sun goes down and it’s super dark And it’s super dark And it’s super dark Sun goes down and it’s super dark And it’s super dark And it’s super dark Sun goes down and it’s super dark And it’s super dark And it’s super dark Sun goes down and it’s super dark And it’s super dark And it’s super dark It’s getting dark like Metastatic Make me feel like I’m an addict Cross my heart, won’t break the habit Nothing can bring me down When did, “you know, I love you,” Become my favorite sound? Nothing can bring me down From this merry-go-round The sun goes down and it’s super dark And the planets align like oligarchs And we break through the chains To love and be loved by all we’ve gained The sun goes down and it’s super rad And we dance in the night like hellcats And we break through the chains To love and be loved by all we’ve gained The sun goes down and it’s super dark And it’s super dark And it’s super dark Sun goes down and it’s super dark And it’s super dark And it’s super dark Sun goes down and it’s super dark And it’s super dark And it’s super dark Sun goes down and it’s super dark And it’s super dark Gosh, it’s gotten dark

Check, 1, 2 Got a room at the Flamingo Motel Sixty nine a night Block away from immaculate death But I feel all right Baby, don’t sit to next me You’re gonna see how I bleed How I bleed Baby, don’t sit to next me Gonna see how I bleed I bleed High above the black and blue Like a lightening strike, I’m luring you Baby, don’t sit to next me Gonna see how I bleed I bleed We could go down to the ocean I like the way it shines only for me Heavy eyes fueled by devotion Youth and Beauty Brigade in harmony Don’t cha love Kudo Del Marva? This loser heart beats just for thee Public access preacher’s sermon So close to God now, I’m lonely Baby, don’t sit to next me You’re gonna see how I bleed How I bleed Baby, don’t sit to next me Gonna see how I bleed I bleed High above the black and blue Like a lightening strike, I’m luring you Baby, don’t sit to next me Gonna see how I bleed I bleed Don’t think I don’t see ya baby Standin’ on the balcony Lost in the hazy air Of the heavy metal 70s Don’t think I don’t see ya baby Standin’ on the balcony Lost in the hazy air Of the legendary 70s Baby, don’t sit to next me You’re gonna see how I bleed How I bleed Baby, don’t sit to next me Gonna see how I bleed I bleed High above the black and blue Like a lightening strike, I’m luring you Baby, don’t sit to next me Gonna see how I bleed I bleed Baby, don’t sit to next me You’re gonna see how I bleed How I bleed Baby, don’t sit to next me Gonna see how I bleed I bleed

Winter fades away Like a thousand cutting marks on a tree And I don’t really care what’s up with you I barely know what’s up with me Nettles sting like the thorns of a rose And yet I find my thoughts are taking their toll Playing with beehives, wishing you’d be mine Guess that’s just the way things go I don’t wanna be black and blue I bought a bluebird and named it after you I don’t wanna be black and blue I bought a bluebird and named it after you Twee, twee, twee, twee, twee, twee, twee The way it sings to me Twee, twee, twee, twee, twee, twee, twee Makes me miss ya deadly Twee, twee, twee, twee, twee, twee, twee The way it sings to me Twee, twee, twee, twee, twee, twee, twee Miss ya deadly Love the back and forth Love the stupid games we play Tomorrow belongs to you But who owns yesterday? So I’ll keep swingin’ left and right I’ll swing for the birds I’ll do anything it takes To forget the way it hurts Nettles sting like the thorns of a rose And yet I find my thoughts are taking their toll Playing with beehives, wishing you’d be mine Guess that’s just the way things go I don’t wanna be black and blue I bought a bluebird and named it after you I don’t wanna be black and blue I bought a bluebird and named it after you Twee, twee, twee, twee, twee, twee, twee The way it sings to me Twee, twee, twee, twee, twee, twee, twee Makes me miss ya deadly Twee, twee, twee, twee, twee, twee, twee The way it sings to me Twee, twee, twee, twee, twee, twee, twee God, I miss ya deadly

Blue Period 05:00

Gas is like nine bucks a gallon It’s putting a cramp in my plans But I got a bike and I’ll go for miles Just to meet my friends Summer’s been far from easy Under the hand of the man But I’ll keep on going, live for the moment Best I can There’s a lot reasons to be blue now Let’s not make our time together one too now It goes as it flows, and we are as we were It’s just a blue period, yo There’s a lot of reasons to feel dragged down But when we’re together, I’ll never count you out We are as we were, as we ebb, as we flow It’s just a blue period, yo It’s just a blue period Take it from me The present becomes the past And sadness becomes the sea Things keep marching forward Like a player piano But I know the tune And I suspect so do you It’s one that’s blue But I believe in the skip button Change the song if it sucks ‘Cause we can be wild, we can go crazy Run amuck There’s a lot reasons to be blue now Let’s not make our time together one too now It goes as it flows, and we are as we were It’s just a blue period, yo There’s a lot of reasons to feel dragged down But when we’re together, I’ll never count you out We are as we were, as we ebb, as we flow It’s just a blue period, yo It’s just a blue period Take it from me The present becomes the past And sadness becomes the sea Becomes the sea Becomes the sea Becomes the sea Becomes the sea There’s a lot reasons to be blue now Let’s not make our time together one too now It goes as it flows, and we are as we were It’s just a blue period, yo There’s a lot of reasons to feel dragged down But when we’re together, I’ll never count you out We are as we were, as we ebb, as we flow It’s just a blue period, yo It’s just a blue period Take it from me The present becomes the past And sadness becomes the sea

Erotic Violence 01:36
lyrics
buy track
2, 3 The powerless dream of erotic violence But I dream morning dew Of milk and honeyed words A small cottage to keep cool And God is it so crazy to dream a life alone? One where I dance with no metronome The masses dream of erotic violence In hopeless opulence But I still hang my hat on A worn picket fence Perhaps you dream of erotic violence When things don’t make sense Perhaps you dream of erotic violence When life ain’t your friend Father says a good man will atone his brother’s sins But God it stinks like turpentine on my skin
