Day dreaming my days away
Dreaming my days away
I’m a little boy crazy
I like all different types
Them cute little quiet ones
Their sweaters that got them stripes
Big beardy lumberjacks
I’ll take one of them too
Throw a pretty boy on top
Got an air he knows what to do
I like your glasses man
Ooh you got some jokes
Maybe if we made out it’d be kinda dope
I think I might just like you
Only if for a night or two
But that don’t take the heat out of the thing’s that I wanna do
I like drinking with the boys
Makes me feel like doctor who
I see the bittersweet humanity in you and you and you
Day dreaming my days away
Dreaming my days away
I want to be a badass
Get all of my shit done
Make sure it’s clear as can be
That I’m the one who has won
It’s so very much less stress
Thinkin bout getting sexy w/ you
Romanticizing things
Up to what you can never do
My sinks full of dirty dishes
I’ve got some clothes to fold
I need to read this book about my work so I can grow
My laundry’s piled up
I should really call my mom
I’ve got this list of stuff to do damn near a mile long
When I get bogged down with shit to do
And I’d really rather not follow through
Start thinkin’ I might just be in love with you and you and you
Day dreaming my days away
Dreaming my days away

Take Another Drink
02:54

Ain’t nothing wrong with sipping on a little beer
it’s plain to see you’re well past guzzling
keep slurping it down for fear
Of the boredom and the awkward
and the thoughts that tend to plague you
When you face up to the fact that
it’s the things you’ve done that made you
Drinking while still at home
And you’re drinking when you get there
More sinking out of control until you can’t keep perceiving
All the self doubt and the left out and the reason that you came here
Nothing you do can really matter when you can always blame beer
Take another drink & then smoke another cigarette
Take another drink & then smoke another cigarette
Take another take another
This one makes you soon forget
Take another take another
Now do something you’ll regret
You’re getting pretty loose and feeling pretty tight
Talking how you got it figured out
Shouting bout how you’re so right
But you’re slurred up, an absurd slut
You can’t keep your shit together
You just sound like a big asshole
While you’re feeling you’re so clever
you’re thinking you’re getting close
and you’re thinking that it’s a connection
your drinking will slow your roll and protect you from rejection
but you’ve chugged up and the gigs up all you’ve got left are the last stumblings
as you bumble your way home behind behavior beyond humbling
Take another drink & then smoke another cigarette
Take another drink & then smoke another cigarette
Take another take another
This one makes you soon forget
Take another take another
Now do something you’ll regret
no point washing up or brushing on your teeth
Now that you’re back home on your couch
One last beer before you sleep
Reflect on the night, get untongue-tied
Make a couple un-wise phone-calls
Might as well go all the way gone
ain’t no chance of total recall
you’re opening up your eyes
and you’re seeing that it’s now the morning
your life’s out of control; you never take heed of your own warnings
but you wake up in your makeup and you take up a collection
for the pity party in your head even they know there’s no correction
Take another drink & then smoke another cigarette
Take another drink & then smoke another cigarette
Take another take another
This one makes you soon forget
Take another take another
Now do something you’ll regret
Take another drink & then smoke another cigarette
Take another drink & then smoke another cigarette
Take another take another
This one makes you soon forget
Take another take another
Now do something you’ll regret

Nervewracking
02:38

Strapped suspenders slapped splash of insecurity
Easiest to screw it up with a lack of surety
The common turn of phrase is seeing is believing
But the truth of it is that what we see can be deceiving
Capped pens upended pages smacked with incredulity
Attitude miscontrues it up due to undue cruelty
After so many years of it, disappointment seems our duty
Maybe if we stopped seeking it, it wouldn’t grow so fruitfully
An optical illusion there’s duality in our analysis
thoughtful inconclusion is just fueling our paralysis
artful disillusionment and our doom are not analogous
garbled on a fusion of our two sides of the same abyss
Worrying into absurdity, currying favor with destruction
Hurrying deferred pity, burying braver deductions
Blurring immaturities, stirring graver obstructions
Spurring a disturbed ditty, demurring staves reconstruction
Nervewracking about an interview
makes me feel I don’t know what to do
makes me feel my spit turn into glue
makes me feel suddenly much less than you
get in the way of my own shoes
I’m a spaz who ain’t got much to lose
I’ma pass if this job’s such a snooze
Didn’t ask but I’m a touch confused
No more running ragged all up in my brain
Ain’t no cunning tactic, just keeps me the same
Gotta be chasing after things that make me swoon
Reach for the moon,
finely attuned verbosity, I pursue my curiosity
Grow sore sunning in jagged oceans of my shame
Backdoor stunner hack new levels in the game
My lot’s erasing rafters raise up to the beams
Wake up my dreams
Finally defused atrocity, unconfused my honed precocity
No more shunning a nagging notion of my fame
Paint a running gag that brags of my good name
Not to be wasting laughter, brings me home to soon
No more cocoon
Divinely misused monstrosity, why not use my own ferocity?
Known before now from my doubt I should abstain
What’s the point if I don’t believe in my own saying
Plot to be hastening after that which I believe
I should receive
Not pomposity to presume I’m owed what’s got to be
Nervewracking about an interview
makes me feel I don’t know what to do
makes me feel my spit turn into glue
makes me feel suddenly much less than you
get in the way of my own shoes
I’m a spaz who ain’t got much to lose
I’ma pass if this job’s such a snooze
Didn’t ask but I’m a touch confused
Have a hard time putting on the rouse
Gotta do what feels right in these shoes
Gotta be just me what else to choose
Gotta take me as is or just lose
I can’t stand the feeling of being a noob
Takes me back to bastardly baby plays
Makes me stack the catastrophes of my ways
Shakes me back to my dastardly denial days

Quit your bitching bout your sitch & just change it
Start sifting through your shit and rearrange it
If it’s broke than you don’t have to hang with it
What are you but what you make of it?
Sick of this town, seems like the best ones haven’t shown up
Feels like you’re drowning in a sea of just-giving-up
When’ya gonna come round to see it’s time you stopped showing up
Give up the ghost, go with your gut and pull your roots up
Bored of your job, you’ve never felt so uninspired
Cup after cup of ambition just leaves you more tired
Seems to you there’s nothing you can do cause it’s how you’re wired
It’s not true, go on and see it through and get yourself unmired
Sitting down with writing books and a big ole’ blank page
Not sure if you even know what it is you have to say
You could keep on sitting here and waste a perfectly good day
Hemming and hawing…or just put the pen to the page
Try out some new things make up some of your own mistakes
Cleaning up the mess is how you learn just what it takes
Never gonna see how you can succeed if you don’t fail first
Stop imagining what might be and just face the worst
Quit your bitching bout your sitch & just change it
Start sifting through your shit and rearrange it
If it’s broke than you don’t have to hang with it
What are you but what you make of it?
Quit your bitching bout your sitch & just change it
Start sifting through your shit and rearrange it
If it’s broke than you don’t have to hang with it
What are you but what you make of it?
don’t think ya get treated right by the people in your life
wounded relationships, and you just keep twisting knife
stop shouting about, erase the doubt and work it out instead
Get right with your friends and set shit right in your head
Ya’feel sorry for yourself for not getting what you want
But never thought it might be that you’re too nonchalant
Not that you don’t deserve it, love, it’s just it’s up to you
if you never ask for them, your wishes ain’t coming true
don’t like what ya got, try taking something else instead
Unless you decide you’d rather complain about it
That’s just adding fuel to the fire that keeps you burning up
Step off your funeral pyre, life might start turning up
Most people just sit around waiting for their lives to change
Don’t want to make their own moves, afraid things will get strange
Push out of your comfort zone and try for something new to you
How else can you ever know what it is you got to do
Quit your bitching bout your sitch & just change it
Start sifting through your shit and rearrange it
If it’s broke than you don’t have to hang with it
What are you but what you make of it?
Quit your bitching bout your sitch & just change it
Start sifting through your shit and rearrange it
If it’s broke than you don’t have to hang with it
What are you but what you make of it?

I only date boys who like Whedon
They’re the ones I get real sweet on
Can you get down with Buffy & Angel?
Then you’re the kinda guy I wanna wrangle.
Teasing heartaches out between battle scenes and sex
He lets us see in each scene that everyone’s complex
Pleasing jailbreaks freed from the eternal hex
Of stilted storylines we’ve come to expect
Distinctly plotted, he just knows how to serve a quip
You think you got it, then the plot just curves & whips
He sees you coming and he’s killing all your favorites
But you’ll love it if you’re silly and you savor wit
Some people just whine and say it’s cheesy
Won’t say the mayor’s ascension graphics pleased me
But you can’t argue with the awesome of these dream scenes
He’s a man who knows just what imagination means
Few storytellers know how to spew such lies
So much truth it time travels through your mind
Breaks your heart in a parallel dimension
I’m not sure, did I forget to mention?
I only date girls who like Whedon
They’re the ones I get real sweet on
Can you get down with Buffy & Angel?
Then you’re the kinda girl I wanna wrangle.
Banging so hot brings the whole god damn house down
Forgive the techno pagan if you bring Wesley round
I’ll take a darker version and one who’s tightly wound
Books won’t be the only things bout to be bound
Monstrous caged grave sinking to the depths below
The way that Oz rages when someone hurts Willow
Then there’s Jayne’s song and his silly orange hat
Wash is making his dinosaurs have a chat
There’s some things I can’t seem to get enough of
Like the episode where Topher falls in love
Not because of the lovey dovey overtone
But the conversation between him & his clone
Rather be a girl with the sickest super powers
Then get some lame-ass pearls or wicked stupid flowers
May be a bit beyond your comprehension
I must admit as much as I like attention
I only date boys who like Whedon
They’re the ones I get real sweet on
Can you get down with Buffy & Angel?
Then you’re the kinda girl I wanna wrangle.
