Hey Neil, am I a big boy now?
Get Cody to make you a chair
You got a rat-tail in your hair (alright)
On your scooter
Got some Modelo
Just got off work
On your way home
You're smiling
And maybe jiving
Just two blocks away
From something excitin'
Hey Neil, am I a big boy now?

Holly seemed pretty nice
but I barely got to say "Hi"
Before she went to Detroit

Greer's Bike
02:55

If you take my bike
Please don't you kill yourself
Don't buy cigarettes or get hit by a train
Cause that would really weigh down
(Weigh down) on my brain
Yeah, please don't kill yourself
If you get back with your life
Please tell me if you enjoyed the ride
I like to speed late at night on my bike
Watch the sky go by
Watch the stars fade out
I sure am glad I moved south

Everyone Else I Met
02:18
|
|||
|
I'm starting to forget your name
But it's alright you've already forgotten mine
You accuse me of running away
But, "Hey," I say, "I'm on vacation!"
Now I'm throwing up in the yard
It's about time I pass out real hard
"Have fun!" you laugh as I'm laying down
Then I realize I'm not the one driving across town
Maybe I'm (assuming to much)

Matty, Morgan and Gus
Are going back to where they need to be
Iowa, DC and Arkansas
That's all I got

(spoken word)
You're fading into the sunset
Drowning in the Puget Sound
You're relating to the rain
Can't grow without it but always falling down
You're walking through a market
You're hungry, wanna buy some bread
But the whiskey bottle's more convincing
Yeah, he really got into your head
I'm leaving here tomorrow
I won't be coming back again
I'm leaving here tomorrow
So long, my friend

I'm So Sad
01:38
|
|||
|
My cat got hit by a car
My car got hit by a meteorite
That meteorite got confiscated
By the government
How am I supposed to impress girls
With said meteorite
I just wanna sleep forever
If you catch my drift

I know a place
Where the water's cool and nice
Where the air is sweet and clean
And the birds are always singin'
The sun is always shining
But it never gets too hot
And the rain only comes in the evening
When you're already at the bar
It seems great but it's no tropical paradise
The island of attractive women and bad vibes
Hey hey
Yeah yeah
The girls are always smiling
But they never show their teeth
And I've never even come across
A decent looking beach
The girls always leave their blouses on
When they fuck
And they're looking out the door
Like they're signaling for you to get shot

Have you been dreaming of the west coast
Have you been dreaming of the rain
This is the story of an artist
So it makes no difference what you say
If you're outside with your woodwork
You'll sweat out all the drugs and beer
If you keep staying with your sober thoughts
You know it always leads to "Get me out of here!"
This is the story of an artist

Don't act like you don't care
I can feel you petting my hair
Let's go outside into the night
We'll see what happens then

Shittier
01:45
|
|||
|
Hey, you think I would of tried harder
I made it sound like I don't know you at all
And I might of ruined this song
But that's not my intention
I hope I didn't ruin this song
Yeah yeah
And it seems like everyone I meet
Is shittier and shittier
But maybe it's just me
Getting shittier and shittier
And I might of ruined this song
That's not my intention
I hope I didn't ruin this song
Yeah yeah

Short Hair
01:45
|
|||
|
I want you to know I'm leaving
I'm not gonna give a reason
But's it's only for the weekend
So you don't need to remind me
And I wanna tell you something
I think I'm gonna keep my hair short
And you know why my hair's short
You don't need to remind me
And I still haven't found work
But you know I've been trying
I already know I'm worthless
You don't need to remind me

Louisiana
03:27

|
You're moving down to Baton Rouge
Cause you said you wanted to start out new
But everyone one knows your ex-wife's in New Orleans
So I don't know what you're trying to prove
Now you're moving out to Santa Fe
Cause you said you were looking for better pay
But you left college without a degree
And that's where your high school sweetheart's living
The sunset breaks on the lenses of my spectacles
In an orange and red blur of sparkles and speckles
And I see you walking solid as a rock
But trembling like you're in the midst of winter with no coat
And you and I both see your love standing near
But she turns from you cold and dissonant
And you collapse into yourself as you regret your travels
And the sun finally dies with you alone beneath the horizon
|

|
What would you say
If I begged you to come over
I swear my house isn't messy
And the yard is full of clover
Cause I know you like to press your luck
And you know that I do too
Just hurry up and come inside
I've got something to show you
Hey, let's get on the roof
I've got something for you to see
Yeah, you're on the roof
Of the tallest house on Goodwin Avenue

Love in Austin
03:08
|
|||
|
Everyone said I'd fall in love in Austin
With all those pretty girls there to meet
Well, I should have known I'd fall in love in Austin
But no one fell in love with me
Well, it's not for lack of trying
I professed my love not once but twice
And all they said was "Boy that's nice,"
"Won't you have a good life."
Everyone said I'd fall in love in Austin
And wouldn't you know they were all right
Here I am, my love in Austin
Cause no one fell in love with me
