AUTOMECHANIC (2013)
AUTOMECHANIC
I had a similar dream
My dream was real though
I left my body in the bed.
I took my clutch and pipe
Climbed out the window
And I was something else instead.
Automechanic
I never worry
I have a garden and a radio.
Made all my own tools
Minding my business
Trade you a tune for some gasoline.
Out in the country I met a good man
Found my body in the bed.
We traveled far and wide
In some of my favorite rides
Working on engines and making them run again.
Now I'm a farmer
Praying for rain
But we have the children and the radio.
Made all my own tools
Minding my business
Trade you a tune for some gasoline.
Automechanic
I never worry
I have a garden and a radio.
Automechanic
I never worry
I have a garden and the radio
Made all my own tools
Yeah, I can machine
Trade you a tune for some gasoline.
LAZY JANE
I'm never gonna be a cheerleader
I can't do tricks
And I ain't that sick.
I'll never make it with the other believers
I don't have it
And I'm likely to quit.
And today I'm being Lazy Jane
I'm feeling blue
Cause I can't have you.
Call me crazy
Hey, it may be true
I'm still crying for you.
I'm never gonna be a pro-skater
I can't do tricks and I ain't that sick
I'm always gonna be a hazy deleter
All my stories
All my glory
And today I'm being Lazy Jane
I'm feeling blue
Cause I can't have you.
Call me crazy
Hey, it may be true
I'm still crying for you.
Today I'm being Lazy Jane
I'm feeling blue
Cause I can't have you.
It never goes away
I know it's true
Cause I'm still crying for you.
I'm being Lazy Jane
I'm feeling blue
Cause I can't have you.
Call me crazy
Hey, it may be true
I'm still crying for you.
COME GET ME
I wasn't looking for no trouble this time
Where did you come from?
You knocked me off of my feet
When I was feeling fine
But you're forgiven.
I never make it very obvious
And when I do I'm mostly misunderstood
You have a habit of hearing me right
Yeah, you get me.
I wanna tell you what's on my mind
And I really wanna see you again,
Maybe give it a little time
It's gone bad before it ever began, yeah.
Now I'm at the corner with my love
Baby come get me, I'm waiting
I'll turn to stone here by myself
Baby don't let me.
Who wants to travel?
Let's take a trip.
I want your darkness
You have a heavy heart
And I think I'll fit
I just have one suitcase.
I wanna tell you about my dreams
And I want you back in my plans
But please believe what you say to me
I'll be gone you'll never see me again
Yeah
Now I'm at the corner with my love
Baby come get me, I'm waiting
I couldn't hack it by myself
Baby collect me, I'm sorry.
I'm feeling wrong about your love
Baby correct me
I'll fall apart without your love
Baby connect me
I'm feeling helpless about you
Baby you wreck me
I couldn't hack it by myself
Baby don't hate me I love you.
Baby come get me I love you.
GET LOST
You can't change, I haven't
So now dry your tears
And tell me what you always say
You will.
Good news! I'm not tired today
So move aside
I can drive us for an hour
Get lost
If you want to.
Get lost
If I feel it I will too.
Has it been a week today?
Oh, where are we
And shouldn't I have?
When you reassemble
Then remember to keep living this way.
And get lost
If you want to.
Get lost
If you feel that.
Get lost
If I feel it I will too.
LEARNED MY LESSONS
I'm so glad
It's gonna be fine.
I learned my lessons from a real good kind
They said
Be helpful and be on time
And you can be happy for the rest of your life.
I broke down when I was traveling alone
A little lady took me into her home
She said
You're OK
I think I have what you need
I learned my lessons from a real good breed
They said
Be gracious
And be real kind
And tread lightly on the land that you find.
When you can, you try to be on time
And you can be happy for the rest of your life.
Do what you love
And what you believe in.
I learned my manners from a real good team
They said
When you have to, you change your ways
And you'll be healthy for the rest of your days
So be thankful and speak your mind
Give love to the treasures you find
When you can, try to be on time
And you'll be happy for the rest of your life.
A-ha haha ha ha ha haha ha
Haha ha ha ha haha ha.
OPPOSITE ISLAND
It's been a long day
You crashed your car
I flipped my lid off
Went too far.
It's safe to say it's been a bad night
Drink it off
I am a low-life
I am awful.
But we are standing on Opposite Island!
Maybe it's a good sign
And we're alright.
It's been a long day
There's a lot to talk about
I'll tell you later when it's over.
We are standing on Opposite Island!
Maybe it's a good sign
And we're all alright.
GOOD LOVE
I am not here to make a change in you
I'm not here to make a home
You are afraid to break my heart in two
But you won't.
You don't love me baby
And you never will
It's not a question still
But hey hey here's the money
Hey hey here's a song
Now where's the good love honey?
You got me all wrong.
So stop talking
You don't make sense
Don't say you're sorry solely in your own defense
If you can't understand it
Don't believe it's true
But keep your head on right
I need the rest of you.
Cause I don't love you baby
I'm just passing through
Til I get my hands on you
Hey hey here's the money
Hey hey here's a song
Now where's the good love, honey?
You got me all wrong.
If you don't see me crying
Don't rescue me.
If you don't see me trying
I am occupied and free.
You don't love me baby
You're no good for me
It's not a mystery
Hey hey here's the money
Hey hey here's a song
Now where's the good love honey?
You got me all wrong.
I don't love you baby
I'm just passing through
Til I get my hands on you
Hey hey here's the money
Hey hey here's a song
Now where's the good love honey?
You got me all wrong.
DOPE VAN GOGH
You are the sun
And I, too, am one
But your light burns brighter than mine
And your bonfire gravity is blinding
Exciting, mmmm.
You, you are the West
You're a graphite harvest
And I will not settle for the plentiful view
And I can't lose sight of what I'm here for
To do, love, to do.
And it's amazing
How you can't come down
It's the main thing
I get my head around
Every time you come along
Any time you come along.
You, you make me wild
You're a dope Van Gogh in my style
And your naked confidence is cool
But you make it awfully hard to follow
Oh, the sorrow that I'll swallow
And it's amazing
How you can't come down
It's the main thing
I get my head around
Every time you come along
Any time you come along
The insane thing
Is that I can't come down either
When I come along
Anytime I come along.
HEY NEIGHBOR
Hey neighbor, hello
Did you just get home?
And do you want to be a friend of mine?
Well curious me,
I was hoping that we could get acquainted.
Do you want to come over
Put your feet on my table?
Can I offer you a glass of wine?
You can call on me
And I can call on you
To get some sugar.
Let's run and get high
What's on your mind neighbor?
Good company is hard to find
But you are right by me
And I am free
So we should get together.
IN OUR HANDS
This is the year that you dream about
When it all comes out
And we are done.
Picture the faces in a roundabout
Can you take it?
Oh no no no.
It's in our hands
We make our own plans
You fall now
Face it, I will too.
It's up to you to make it happen
To see it through
Just bow your head and I will too.
We traveled
Starry-eyed
Up to the edge
And then you turned
And left me there for dead.
And later
When I won you over again
Oh I burned you back in the end.
It's in our hands
We make our own plans
You fall now
Maybe I will too
It's up to you to make it happen
To see it through
Just bow your head and I will too.
Oh I'll keep a candle lit for you!
So it is written,
You were good to me.
And to your family,
Who will I be?
And should we ever get it back again
Can we make it up here, my friend?
It's in our hands
If this is goodbye
You go your way and I will too
It's up to you
To say I'm sorry
And then I love you
Just bow your head little darling
Come on, your girl is calling
Just bow your head and I will too.
SUN MOON AND STARS
If you bring the sun and the moon
And the stars
Then babe, I'm gonna take em.
You bring the devil
And I'll shake him
Go on, lay it on me.
If you bring the clouds and the rain
And the whole world in flames
And you're bleeding
And someone comes looking for trouble
I will cover you.
I'll make headlines when I follow through
Go on and lay it on me.
Quit hiding your face
It's the last thing that anyone needs.
And when I get to crying instead
Over something you said
I'll stand by the blues
I'm gonna use em
I'll make a note not to abuse em
Go on and do that for me.
I've been moving a new way entirely
Listen to me
I've been trying
I've been trying
I've been trying
To live my life over here
And choose love over fear
Cause it's useless not to taste it
And there's no reason not to believe
I give my days to the dealer
I'll be a witness to disease
And have the courage of a sailor
If there's an answer I don't see it.
If there's a weakness I don't see it
I live my dreams over here
And choose love over fear
I give my days to the dealer.
