I Wanna Be 02:47
well I wanna be the boy in your arms who does you no harm who visits your mom who stays at your place toothbrush and suitcase and walks around town with you on his arm well I wanna be the boy of your dreams who takes you on trips to tropical seas who knows how to please you who knows how to tease you who’d never unease you who would rub your feet i’ve got a nice place clean with ample space and throughout the week i scratch for my meat but something’s incomplete there’s one empty seat there’s nights all alone there’s reasons to drink yes, there’s reasons to think my life’s in the sink my time’s a mirage calendar montage where’s my Debbie Harry? i’m ready to marry i’d spend my last dime on my Chrissie Hynde please feel welcome to my life your shoes, your jacket to the far right for ‘be with me’ please mark ‘well I might’ you’re neat, and particularly sweet that’s why I wanna be well I wanna be yes, I wanna be steady like weather and always together just like salt and pepper like birds of a feather forever and ever till death do us leave

you paint pretty pictures i write songs like Nancy Vicious you’re a cool drink i’m three wishes yes it’s true we want Withers’ castles we want pure love with no hassles we’d take sex gloves and bike tassels me and you is it any wonder the world crawls at our feet when the myth of what we’re doing is so complete? you and also me crossing continents of ecstasy filling swimming pools with eco-conscious post-sex debris life’s knit with disasters life’s a cruel bitch, then you’re past her cause life moves quick, always faster short and rude we make hot arrangements trysts, public banquets there’s a perforated popcorn box to which I allude yes it’s true i’ve got a popcorn box with a hole cut for me and you is it any wonder the girls bawl at our feet when the pith of what we’re doing is so sweet? don’t you ever wonder how Christ kept things discreet when like apostles we’re playing with each other’s feet? you and also me crossing continents of Ecstasy filling swimming pools with undulating tides of our pee yes our pee! through a popcorn box with a hole cut for you and me oh you and also me appearing in this chorus on repeat singing through a popcorn box with a hole cut just for our dreams

Bye Bye 03:32
follow your dreams pre-soak your beans cover your eyes old life, bye-bye hey, you’ll be okay cross my heart and die you’re meant to achieve you’re meant to fly the moon is a she pronoun royal we she’s frequently high she unfucks the sky and with aplomb, she rides and gives out hi-fives she’ll carry you old life, toodle-oo love’s a form of sedition time is life’s ammunition in the interior world of your dome you feel like nobody’s home you want some feeling of value you’ll need a steadfast morale to in the interior world of your dreams your old life’s just what it seems you deserve love and luxurious drugs and miles of smiles like, so many smiles you’re tough like crocodiles so willing to learn and ready for your trials like some lawyer’s files

you could paint me a picture something I would put on the shelf watercolours and a bristle you taught me how to whistle i find myself inside an orange trying to give you orange juice won’t you invite me to your party? promise you won’t be sorry won’t you invite me to your party? i’m not invitation-proof you’re a light and I’m a lampshade did you need me or do I need you? leave it up to mathematicians try different sexual positions inside the palm of my hand my love line scares psychics still but still, you make me feel special like ancient men who wrestle i don't want to but I guess'll i guess i'll get out of your grill oh baby, you own me and for tax purposes you should keep that receipt i'm not sorry i met you i'm only sorry when we meet if i say i'm sorry would you be less aloof? would you invite me to your party? i’m not invitation-proof

All for Me 05:41
for the first time I wanted to die to feel my blood blowing across the sky to feel her hands riding my dreams with gas in my mouth and blood in my sleep blood in my sleep, all for me when I first saw her space blew out wide the rings of Saturn heeled at her side she crushed me like a god between her two lips i flew through clouds of broken dynamite broken dynamite, all for me she confirmed to me to suck on the stars she said their futures are bright and stretch to the bed she said the sun hangs from a string in the sky and its warmth sometimes stops a foot above your head everything above my head, all for me i pushed dogteeth inside her hair her red dewy warmth hasn’t been seen anywhere a creature stood straight in the dark crushed up hearts raining through the air crushed up hearts, all for me for the first time I wanted to die to feel my face no longer pressed on this hornet’s nest to feel her hands cradling mine my eyes the stars, my soul the night all of the night, all for me all for me all for me it’s all for me all for me

we’re passing by beautiful things we’re all passing by beautiful things saying beauty’s not enough for me right now, I’m passing yeah beauty’s not enough for me now, I’m just passing no nothing is enough for us now so we’re passing beautiful things well the world passes by like a fly hold it tight but don’t let it die just put your hands to your eyes  and block out all the disasters brace up and be brave cause life’ll keep going faster and faster if you could just see your sweet little face the butterflies would all float away and you could spend every day helping others be happy clapping your hands while your friends finish their track meet look me in the eyes and tell me hey wouldn’t that be  a beautiful thing they say make new friends and keep the old and that one is silver and the other gold well I’m making ends meat in the cold but I still force myself to stop and think about the beautiful things growing up isn’t always great you end up with a lot on your plate and you give up time everyday  helping others make money i know that to you this all must sound very funny but you’ll forget sometimes to give your love to ride your bike and be gentle with bugs and you’ll thank the great god above if you’re hit with a feeling cause not every kiss is gonna send you reeling there is a glass ceiling, it’s not that appealing they say to begin, you first must start we say write your name down in the dark and don’t ever silence your spark and whatever your heart tells you, well it’s right and don’t you be like those people who go their whole lives without giving love try to be one of the none of the above to see yourself through a prism of delight so please keep that light in your hair and keep breathing on that rarified air cause you’re you and that’s rare and at the heart of the picture your essence is needed to perfect the mixture but they’re’ll always be some things you don’t understand and you’ve got this feeling like your inside a man thinking “am I this man, this real-life maneuverer?” caught in glance you’re just who you knew you were i’m telling you babe there’s nothing truer-er from the left to the ride side of the universe and everyone who’s ever had a perfect heart writes their names down in the dark and has eschewed bite and it’s bark in their lives yeah everyone who’s ever had a perfect heart writes their name down in the dark yeah writes their name down in the park and writes their name down in their heart and writes their pain down in their art and writes their name tag and does their part

This Love 02:07
this love is all I need this love this love is all I need this love this life is cracked cracked like an egg and like an egg there is a yolk there, placed on your head it feels less heavy when you’re there in my bed this love is all I need this love this love is all I need this love i love my phone i love its screen i love the feeling when it vibrates when you’re calling me i'll say it one more time ‘cause my call log agrees your love is all I need my mood is black i taste like hair i’m feeling worthless when you appear with takeout and beer wrote you this song just incase it wasn’t clear oh, my dear this love is all I need

i loved you and wanted to be ya since I first saw your artists panoply you were cool, collected i was undone in seconds we’re on and off like tv we’re on and off like tv but it didn’t pan out cause nothing comes easy i loved you but I struggled to show it there was insecurities and I couldn’t stow it there were guilty feelings with excessive revealings we’re on and off like tv we’re on and off like tv wish I’d done things different could’ve loved you freely see the daisies growing backwards explain the breakup, hmm, many factors see the stars perform their sadness what would you give to take back your actions we’re on and off like tv we’re on and off like tv we’re on and off like tv we’re on and off like tv gave me the nix like Stevie we’re on and off like tv we’re on and off like tv we’re running out like tp we’re on and off like tv

Pure as Rain 04:10
listen to me, I’m the girl mansplaining trapped inside someone’s malevolent painting suffering blows of outrageous misfortune yes I’ve tried rectifying my proportions yes I’ve tried changing my naming i’m a girl’s unabridged new history delicate just like a princess’ wrist be watching birds as they fly betwixt me 
insisting on the stage is a little boy with a heart just as wide as the ocean holding hands with trees in his Garden of Eve far beneath hardened beliefs thank God I’m made of tougher stuff, now thank God I am a creature of luff, now getting by on my new air of mystery rare herbs grow in the places you kiss me cause I’m a woman pure as rain emoting in this refrain forcefully wed to time sensitive and insane yes, I’m a female cured in shame with a rose inside my brain which is right next to my mind which is where I feel my pain who’s my protector how does an idiot become the chief inspector we die alone in the blink of an evening cry on the phone at the brink of me leaving 
so seeming in my age is a little boy who’s love is tantamount to magic potions hands stuffed in his pleats in a garden of ease in a huge continent of relief

love escapes my labors love dissipates live vapors love hides away like neighbors love finds a way, on paper can you come and get me and take me to my wet dream and reaffix my joy affix joy to this boy when camels sing to fishes that's when i'll receive loves missives stranded out on dude island fomenting loveless dishes cycles come like dryers in which love has retired in which love doesn't list me a motivated buyer i'm love hungry perpetually i'm at the corners of desire i'd change myself if i could let me swap out my essences like tires kaleidoscopic, yet in plain view i see love out there, i need love showers i'm ready for my big love debut to flip this love house, to start love two

i love to be soft and sweet drinking down the breath you breath i reach my hand through your head and pick the rose where your eye once glowed as I throw our coin into the sky my tongue is bright as a moonless night my love’s a ghost outside your window and though I try i can’t do all these things be nice to you and give you love like I should do for now I’ll let you be soft and sweet i took your heart and left a seed if something grows tall and green i’ll rest this star on our Christmas tree and in the smallest night turn your emerald green i love to be soft and sweet drinking down the breath of thee i reach my hand through your head and pick the rose where your eye once glowed as I throw our coin into the sky my tongue is bright as a moonless night my love’s a ghost outside your window and though I try i can’t do all these things be nice to you and give you love like I should do

coming to your town on an old-fashioned broom the sultan of sĂ©ance, the goddess of gloom her signature scent comes from her newt’s-eye shampoo she emerges from the mist soft and gentle as a kiss don’t blink or you may just miss her the weirde sister this January she’s 108 she’s been speaking tongues since she was in 2nd grade yet she’s all alone because no one can relate to the life that she lives she still has a heart in her ribs if all the world could switch they’d see it’s hard being a witch they’d see that the magic’s all-to-real for those in touch with what they feel keep out an eye for cauldrons full of dry ice she’ll be by your side through these dark and stormy nights she doesn’t care if you’ve been naughty or nice true hearts can’t resist her with all the strength of a ‘mister’ she’ll slip through your room like a whisper the weirde sister
