Ten fingers counting we have each
Nine planets around the Sun repeat
Eight ball will last if you triumphant be
Seven oceans pummel the shores of the sea
It's a typical situation
In these typical times
Too many choices, yeah
It's a typical situation
In these typical times
Too many choices, yeah
Everybody's happy
Everybody's free
We'll keep the big door open
And everyone'll come around
Why are you different?
Why are you that way?
If you don't get in line
We'll lock you away
It all comes down to nothing
Six senses feeding five
Around a sense of self
Four seasons turn on and turn off
I can see three corners from this corner
Two's a perfect number
But one is not enough
Everybody's happy
Everybody's free
We'll keep the big door open
And everyone'll come around
Why are you different?
Why are you that way?
If you don't get in line
We'll lock you away
Everybody's happy
Everybody's free
We'll keep the big door open
And everyone'll come around
Why are you different?
Why are you that way?
If you don't get in line
We'll lock you away
It all comes down to nothing
It's a typical situation
In these typical times
Too many choices, yeah
It's a typical situation
In these typical times
Too many choices, yeah
We can't do a thing about it
Too many choices, yeah
It's a typical situation
In these typical times
Too many choices, yeah
Everybody's happy
Everybody's free
We'll keep the big door open
And everyone'll come around
Why are you different?
Why are you that way?

Wicked Little Town
04:18
|

|
You know the sun is in your eyes
And hurricanes and rains
And black and cloudy skies
You're running up and down that hill
You turn it on and off at will
There's nothing here to thrill or bring you down
And if you've got no other choice
You know you can follow my voice
Through the dark turns and noise of this wicked little town
Oh lady, luck has led you here
And they're so twisted up
They'll twist you up, I fear
The pious, hateful and devout
You're turning tricks 'til you're turned out
The wind so cold, it burns, you're burning out and blowing round
And if you've got no other choice
You know you can follow my voice
Through the dark turns and noise of this wicked little town
The fates are vicious and they're cruel
You learn too late you've used two wishes
Like a fool
And then you're someone you are not
And Junction City ain't the spot
Remember Mrs. Lot and when she turned around
And if you've got no other choice
You know you can follow my voice
Through the dark turns and noise of this wicked little town

Why the long face
what a small space
what a boldface
Liiiiee
I been circling this cirlce for three days
Spiees still alive with blood on its face
Keep on the strugglin artist, to see who goes the farthest
one more orange in my mail box i might just kill a starlet
I been bargainin with nothin
Been trenchin my apartemnt
the crest is set to harvest
My marxist heart is startin
If i have to ride the three again, i'll get it good
If i had to blow my brains out, i think i would
Cops lookin at my tabs , that shit aint expired yet i still got till april
so does my check
if you think that checks comin you're dumb as rocks
I aint never had this much free time in my life
twitter got me Fucked UP
and you all know it too

Abandoned liquor stores and coffee shops
Being watching by people who wish they could afford to stay home
People running around like it's the end of the world
And im inclined to believe them
Mich golden light and a bottle of wine as I try to make the days pass faster
Before I never had enough time but now I wish it would hurry up
Feel like I've been
Running in place
Ever since the day
the earth stood still
Still riding the bus everyday because I've been declared "essential"
Wondering how many dollars of stock my life is worth
To you
Is making some bankers latte that important
I've been feeling kinda hopeless
These days
Trying to count the ways im still alive

So I'll
Shave the hair that's growing on my face
And try not to do the same with the hair on my head
I feel
My life is so far out of my control
Why im still here, fuck I do not know
Lost and out of control
Locked in my own skull
On
And on and on it goes
Nobody knows where all of this will end
Im running out of pills and patience
Waiting for the day it finally explodes
Fuck
Oh shit
Oh this fucking blows
This sucks shit
I hate it here

One, two, three, four
Gonna make a record in the month of May
In the month of May, in the month of May
Gonna make a record in the month of May
When the violent wind blows the wires away
Month of May, it's a violent thing
In the city, their hearts start to sing
Well, some people sing, it sounds like they're screaming
Used to doubt it but now I believe it
Month of May, everybody's in love
And the city was sent from above
And just when I knew what I wanted to say
The violent wind blew the wires away
We were shocked in the suburbs
Now the kids are all standing with their arms folded tight
Kids are all standing with their arms folded tight
Well, some things are pure and some things are right
But the kids are still standing with their arms folded tight
I said some things are pure, and some things are right
But the kids are still standing with their arms folded tight
So young, so young
So much pain for someone so young
Well, I know it's heavy, I know it ain't light
But how you gonna lift it with your arms folded tight?
First they built the road
Then they built the town
That's why we're still driving around
And around and around and around and around
And around and around and around and around
And around and around and around and around
2009, 2010 wanna make a record how I felt then
When we stood outside in the month of May
And watched the violent wind blow the wires away
If I die in the month of May
Let the wind take my body away, yeah
Wish I may or wish I might
But meet me down there with my arms folded tight

The rains not comin down
All the water's in the air
I dont think about the clowns
I think they're standin over there
Simply speaking i dont have the capacity
And its killing me in here
I'm just hoping that they pull my number
When the spaceships are affordable, hopefully they'll have seats for the queer
And im blastin off
We outta leave this world behind
And im blastin off
We outta leave this world behind
And im blastin off
And i dont mind, i dont mind, anymore
A sight to see
A hazy dream
A future set in
Coffee and cream
You looked at me
Wishfully
Glasses clinking and the
Counter gleamed
Fearfully
Quietly
You said The bees are dying
And the planet screams
Tearfully
Cheerfully
I'm promising
I'll find a star
Where me and you can breathe
And im blastin off
We outta leave this world behind
And im blastin off
we outta leave this world behind
And im blastin off
I dont mind, i dont try to anymore
