Backseat 03:20
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 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

Intoxiciated 03:29
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

Would you Have a drink with me? I’ve got No plans so maybe we Make some. Get wasted wasting our time. Could you Take a chance with me. It takes two To feel like somebody. I’ll go To anyplace that this small talk leads me. I'll buy The first round And probably the second one. I’ll try To calm you down. Keep talking. I’m listening. We’ll spend all night, Till “last call” is calling out. I know this bar’s about to close So let’s get lost and see where we can go Press play And I won’t stop till the Day breaks We’ll stay awake because Champagne Tastes better here than in dreams. Midnight kill some time till the sun lights up the sky I've got no time That I’m not willing to spend with you spend with you With you CHORUS I'll buy (I’ll buy) The first round I’ll try (I’ll try) To calm you down. We’ll spend all night (all night), Till “last call” is calling out. I know it’s nearly closing time So let’s get lost and see if you’ll be mine. BREAK I'll buy The third round And probably just one more. I’ll try To calm you down. Keep talking. I’m listening. We’ll spend all night, Now “last call” is calling out. I know this bar’s about to close Let’s get lost and see where we might go I'll buy (I’ll buy) Would you have a drink with me? I’ll try (I’ll try) Could you take a chance with me?

I got coffee on my mind It’s as simple as that I’m losing track of the time And I don’t quite know where I’m at I don’t know if you're up there But Jesus take the wheel for God’s sake Cause I’ve been twistin, I’ve been turnin’, I’ve been spending all I’m earning and I Just burnt all I had to bake (inhale sound, exhale sound) It goes In through the nose and out through the mouth Let it in and let it all out In through the nose and out through the mouth It goes In through the nose and out through the mouth You let it in and then you let it all out you betta’ In through the nose and out through the mouth (inhale sound, exhale sound) Different days call for different doses A bed of needles in a bed of roses Equal people all got different poses Looking on the bright side overexposes Why do I even try when the bottle’s dry I close my eyes and open up my mind And I breathe in and I breathe out and I Level out no doubt CHORUS

Sunglasses 03:26
I wear sunglasses sometimes When it’s not bright I don’t need to look them in the eyes I don’t need to look them in the eyes I wear gloves upon my hands I don’t know why I don’t need to keep my fingers dry I don’t really need these, no There’s something left to learn From all the artifacts I’ve earned There’s something left to learn I wear a watch upon my wrist I don’t know why I just keep on losing track of time After time losing track of time I wear a lampshade on my face But I’m not bright Maybe if I studied then I might be But I ain’t never studies. No. There’s something left to learn From all the artifacts I’ve earned There’s something left to learn within the ambient unheard There’s something left to learn From all the artifacts I’ve earned I’m losing track of time. And all these items That encompass my whole life. They keep repeating. They keep me fleeting. As the flames ignite the objects of my life. Such a peaceful feeling. It keeps my heart beating. There’s something left to learn From all these artifacts I’ve burned There’s something left to learn There’s something left to learn From all these artifacts I’ve burned I’m losing track of time. I wear sunglasses sometimes When it’s not bright I don’t need to look them in the eyes I don’t need to look them in the eyes

Just Ask 03:13
I could be high as a kite But you know me better than that So why even bother to ask I am dazed and amazed You wonder what I’m looking at But why even bother to ask When you do I will be true But there’s never any follow through I want you to But you never do I never thought I’d have to say this to you But just ask Just ask just ask Just ask Just ask just ask I could be high as a kite But you know me better than that So why even bother to ask PRE-CHORUS CHORUS

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

Ripple 03:42
I got a lot on my mind It seems like most times When the water gets calm I’m skipping stones along its surface Light reflected in the waves Ripples and it makes me nervous I got a lot on my mind It seems like most times I’m a wave-creator I’m a wave A situation shaker the greatest complicator I’m a wave-creator Won’t you be my savior? I got a lot on my mind It seems like most times Thoughts get caught up on the street A traffic jam that halts the feeling Lights are changing back and forth the lack of movement makes me nervous I got a lot on my mind It seems like most times CHORUS and I’m giving it all to you - ooooh CHORUS I’m giving it all I’m giving it all to you

It’s Saturday (it’s Saturday / it’s Saturday) as I lay awake and make fake constellations in a haze I slip away (I slip away / I slip away) As a bird of prey is lurking in the alleyway It’s Saturday Sometimes early mornings, sometimes later afternoons I’m always passing out due to substance abuse And lately melatonin’s been my drug of choice I wanna’ be sedated and entertained It’s Saturday (it’s Saturday / it’s Saturday) I stare out the window with a look of innuendo on my face I slip away (I slip away / I slip away) with my eyes glazed over the Cable-Classic rerun matinee It’s Saturday CHORUS 1 I wanna’ be sedated and entertained Artificial rush of endorphins into my brain I ain’t afraid, no I ain’t ashamed I just wanna’ be sedated and entertained BREAKDOWN sometimes mornings, sometimes afternoons I’m passing… substance abuse And… melatonin I’m sedated and... CHORUS 2 sedated and entertained

Shapeshifter 03:03
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?
