Good Enough To Marry On

Everything you see can turn to gold. And that’s ok with me. Yeah that’s ok by me. You won’t get me to bite. Everything you see can turn to stone. And that’s ok with me. Yeah that’s ok by me. You won’t get me to bite. It’s good enough for the girls we know to marry on. Get on the roof, there’s no way home. It’s good enough for the girls we know to marry on. Get on the roof, there’s no way home. Na-na-na. It’s good enough for the girls we know to marry on. Get on the roof, there’s no way home. Everything you see can turn to gold.

All God's Creatures Die
01:49
|

|
We took turns shaving the beast last night. Some still learn, others never get more bright. Saw old friends, got him down to blood-filled pores and oiled skin, makes one wish for nothing more than... All god’s creatures die. On the way to the light. All god’s creatures fight, then die. We took turns blessing hollow blessings forward. When we burn, ashes follow asses or burn. All god’s creatures lie on the way to the light. All god’s creatures sigh, then die.

Presents for Indians
00:34
|

|
It’s not much after all you’ve given us. I’m not sure you meant to, but now it’s ours. Jack and I brought presents for the Indians. Not a lot, just the crap we no longer use. What a mistake they made.

Freeze My Old Guns
01:01
|
|||
|
It’s time to bury your favorite child. Time to freeze my old guns. It’s time to find new ways to smile. Time to silently hum... this tune that nobody knows.

Teachers’ Teachers
02:31

Little sister with the lazy eye, the boys tease then run home to cry. Wish I knew what I said I know, then we’d just get up and go home. The teachers’ teachers are lonely too. They’re lonely too. The doctor’s doctors are lonely too. They’re lonely too. Your idiotic ideology means the world to you but nothing to me. Hard to learn hard to unlearn. Hard to leave hard to return home. The teachers’ teachers are lonely too. They’re lonely too. Our bosses’ bosses are lonely too. They’re lonely too. And secret lies materialize. We can’t deny a crest. A secret pact can set you back. It’s best to track the pest. The teachers’ teachers are lonely too. They’re lonely too. The doctor’s doctors are lonely too. They’re lonely too.

Natalie and I
01:38
|
|||
|
The spiders inch across the window. Natalie and I hold hands. I swear to god the rent’s forgotten. The knock reminds us to sift sand. And all the rest are gone. We’re forced to swim across the river, we’re forced to swim to foreign lands. Natalie and I together, we have each other’s shoulder pads. And all the rest are gone.

The Chains Insane
02:14
|
|||
|
Sitting on the holy heart waiting for another start. Tell yourself it never comes, cuz it never comes. Never comes. Sitting on the city rain pleading with your daddy plain. Tell yourself it never comes, cuz it never comes. Never comes. And it feels like all the chains insane. Yeah, it feels like all the chains insane. Sipping on the wine of youth, clear as all the morning dew. Cloudiness it never comes. It never comes. Never comes. And it feels like all the chains insane. Yeah, it feels like all the chains insane. And it feels like all the chains insane. Yeah it feels like all the chains insane.

Let go of me on the count of three. Let go of me or else. Think about my history, or see it for yourself. Ordinary battle cries are all I know. I plan to study hard and have more to show. Now run away far and soon, and hum your favorite song. You’re not the smartest in the room, so stand up brave and wrong. Ordinary battle cries are all I know. I plan to study hard and have more to show.

Try Hard Enough To Fall
01:33
|
|||
|
Whole or not, all we got’s the speed of anguish. Afraid to blush, the patch and paint, a foreign language. You try so hard you fall. Over and over you fall. I’m like you, I can tip a canoe. The things we ponder. Passing through the afternoon, the past tense is fonder. I try so hard I fall. Over and over I fall. Try so hard you fall. Over and over, we should fall.

Pixies Shirt
01:53
|

While they bite her tongue, you might rummage through the jar. While the fighters come, you might pretend to care, but if all else fails, you can sit inside with me tonight, or just zip the tent up, cuz what’s fair is fair. Lorraine sits in the rain until they’re done. Lorraine swallows the pain, Lorraine. In a Pixies shirt, she’s looking so American. In a dirty shirt, he couldn't look much worse. So he says his bit, and she says that she’s not interested. Then he beats her up, and he asks her not to curse. Lorraine sits in the rain until they’re done. Lorraine swallows the pain, Lorraine. Well, the one on one seems to go on forever though everyone always says it’s soon to end. But if all else fails, you can sit inside with me tonight in your Pixies shirt and the message it sends.

Betty on the Back Page
01:06
|
|||
|
All this crying makes me tired. I let a little fight decide our fate. I wish I owned me a motorbike. It’s Betty on the back page. Did the dud collect the racket? Did he hold out both hands? If he’s gonna make me feel this way, let me feel it like a man.

Honesty Bumpers
02:15
|
|||
|
Get back to your crying. If you plan to be away from me, go slow. Get back to your trying. Before the honesty bumpers go bump bump in the night. They said to hold each other close, stick with the one you chose, they said. Get back, now you’re lying. Circle your knuckles or end up in a fight. Get back, no denying. If you’re gonna be away from me, plan slow. They said to hold each other close, stick with the one you chose. They said hold each other close, stick with the one you chose.
