Picking up the laundry
Going to the show
Making lots of money
Ob-la-di-bla-do
Runnin’ runnin’ races till the
end of our days
The finish line we’re chasing keeps on racing away
Say yeah…
Say yeah...
Cooking in the kitchen
Showing up on time
Drinking on the weekend
Sometimes every night
I just want
I just want a day off
Say yeah…
Say yeah…
Making aspirations
Try to stay on track-track-track-track
Taking lots of Aspirin
For your b-b-b-b-back
I just want
I just want a day off
So we can hang out in my treehouse
Say yeah
So we can hang out in my treehouse
Say yeah
(let’s a-gooo!)
SOLO
We’ll get away from the offices and shopping malls
We’ll get away take no busses take no business calls
We’ll get away don’t you worry ‘bout the bugs or the bees
Or the bears or your boss while you're here in my tree
Just say yeah!
Say yeah!
Say yeah…
Say yeah..
I just want
I just want a day off
So we can hang out in my treehouse
Say yeah
So we can hang out in my treehouse
Say yeah

Backseat

I was on the line
You were on the corner
Of Main Street and My Mind
living life on the back-burner
because you asked me for a ride
I drag speed so I show up on time
I drive an automatic
S U V
All the soccer moms can
Roll with me
But since you asked me for a ride
I drag speed so I show up on time
Here at last
Buying gas
Going nowhere fast
We’ll be fine
As we race towards our destination
I’ll just drive
But you're breaking my concentration
GO!
I was on the fence
You were in the backseat
Behind me and my friend
As we cruise down the concrete
And my brakes squeak really loud
The broken CD player kinda’ drowns them out
And then I put all of the
Windows down
Because just mine would make that awful sound
I know you asked me for a ride
I hope you don’t mind as I
drag-speed down the b-line
CHORUS
CHORUS w/ “I was in the backseat writing with my hands
I was writing backwards
so they could understand
Didn’t want to get in trouble
Get in trouble with my dad
Just waiting in the backseat
writing with my hands”
In the backseat with a seatbelt against your shoulder blade
I put this Chevy into 4-wheel-drive and take the long way home
CHORUS + ALT CHORUS

Intoxicated

If I could bottle up the way I feel
I’d chug it all damn day
Store a barrel in my basement
drink all my nights away
If this feeling fit inside a seed
I’d plant it in my yard,
Pack my pipe with with
that sweet leaf
and get higher than the stars
I wanna get
Intoxicated
So messed up that I turn blue
I wanna get
intoxicated
on a sofa set for two
Cause darling I’m damn
intoxicated
on you
If your love was dripped on blotter
I’d put ten tabs on my tongue
I’d trip into a fantasy
where the two of us stay young
Hell, I’d even take a needle
and inject you in my arm
and I’d probably get addicted
but you’d never bring me harm
I wanna get
Intoxicated
I wanna pass out in my shoes
I wanna get
intoxicated
on a sofa set for two
I’m just so damn intoxicated
I said I’m drunk
on your love
Yeah I’m trippin’ balls on you
I’m geekin out.
I can’t take it anymore
and I know what we should do
I think we should get
Intoxicated
you know the way we always do
Oh we’re gonna be
intoxicated
On my sofa set for two
I’m just so damn
intoxicated
Darlin’ I’m drunk
on your love
Yeah I’m trippin’ balls on you
Ooooohhhhh I’m geekin out.
I can’t take it anymore
you’re the drug I can’t refuse
Darlin, I’m damn intoxicated
on you.

Shapeshifter

This one goes out to you
And all the other shape-shifters
Boerne, Crimson King, Mr. Fantastic, Jerry Dandridge
You fit the mold for nearly
Every situation so easily
And you fit so well with me
Look what you’ve done to me
You’ve exposed my interior and you made me leek
Now I can’t go on forgetting what you think I am
You’ve made me change my shape and now you're
messin’ with my plans
Who’s that dude walkin’ around in my converse shoes?
Who’s that dude with you?
This one goes out to me
And everybody with a weakness
I’ve heard mine
is a lot less vicious
than kryptonite
Still, I can’t hide
I just can’t find the one ring
And I can’t decide just who I am
I’m no Dr. Manhattan
CHORUS
Break
Who’s that dude walkin’ around in my converse shoes?
Who’s that dude with you?

Of all the things I couldn’t see,
I can see you on my T.V.
and it’s all in H.D.
Pictures of you with me,
Photoshopped up on the screen
and it’s nothing you’ve seen.
And I called just to say that I’ve called you everyday
and I want you to know I won’t follow where you go
Anymore Anymore
That picture that you took at home,
I took a screenshot on my phone
I see it when I’m alone
And I can’t stop thinking of all those times that I made up all
in my mind. In my mind. In my mind. In my mind.
CHORUS x2
To the store or the morgue
Places you’ve been before
All the places you’ve seen
Or the places you’ll be
And I promise to take you off my T.V. screen
And I just want you to know
That I called to say
CHORUS x2

I guess
you’re o-
kay with
this mess
I got you in
I got you in so deep
I guess
I’ll now
Confess
selfishness
sets in and it
sets me off my feet
I don’t want to complicate things
I don’t want to keep you waiting
Moon gets high
Tide gets low
I don’t know where the
Story goes
In the night
The moon casts shadows on us all
I guess
We’ll stay
In this
Deranged state
We’ve been up all
We’ve been up all damn night
I guess
I’ll be
Helpless
-ly regressing
Back to where
Back to where it begins
