Calamity 02:30
This one goes out to a girl I know Two drinks, she drops like a domino You'll see her out dressed from head to toe Like some odd flamingo How little the time it takes To wrap her hand 'round a famous snake She's got a tan and an arts degree I don't know why she hangs out with me She says that I wanna spread my seed But she's wrong, so wrong Now the pile that we're sleeping in Looks like a leopard has shed it's skin Calamity calamity I know there's not a lot to talk about until we gather speed This one goes out to a dude I know He lives his life like a TV show And I'm gonna need the remote control When he's on, good god But I call this eager friend Cause it's a means to a hazy end You wanna see where the rabbit hole leads? You wanna feel all the possible speeds? You wanna see all these animals eat their friends? If theres a prize for the people I see Ill trade my eyes for a penny a piece Don't care to see how this "hell-of-a-story" ends

Shredded Eddie his hearts full of confetti His minds been runnin' wild He winks at all the girls in the booth And when he's steady the world better be ready It's not about the rhyme The hook is in the simplest truth And does it get a bit low? Oh I know we're all a little bit tired of doin' it alone Ya know we sing it alone Handsome Eddie  He's swinging it already He's borrowing your car baby if you like it or not  It ain't pathetic it's ready man it's heady It's hard to be surprised really when you got what you got But does it get a bit low? Oh I know we're all a little bit tired of doin' it alone Ya know we sing it alone Shredded Eddie keeps talking Shredded Eddie keeps talking (A little too loud) Shredded Eddie keeps talking Shredded Eddie keeps talking I know it’s time we're taking Meanwhile the earth keeps shaking It's such a rush that we might never be the same And you know any minute We'll find out Eddie did it I know right now that he ain't ever gonna change But does it get a bit low? Oh I know we're all a little bit tired of doin' it alone Eddie pick up the phone Shredded, Shredded Gotta tell you twice so you never forget it

The Wretch 03:50
Do I got a cynical style? Do I get kicks when you slip in a puddle? Do I make it terrible, child? Do I make ya just wanna punch through the rubble? Cause woah I'm a dark-hearted fella' No Cinderella's gonna make me smile And oh I forgot my umbrella I'm a cappella on the Miracle Mile again Don't look in my eyes Do I got a sinister grin? Do I give you chills when I kill on the camera? Do I crawl all over your skin? Do I make you wanna stay at home in your pajamas? I see your hands are shaking I hear the sounds you're making Oh you've got such a pretty frown And if there's no tomorrow And it's all just pain and sorrow I'll never let you down Do I spin all over your friends? Do they just hate that you can't get enough? And do I lie about where I been? Do you really wanna know about it, buttercup?

Miracle Head 03:12
Strollin on the avenue, callin me around Layin this city to waste Bradley's out of town forever maybe now We'll grow to be responsible spades Elliston's abound with industry and sound Movin' at a leisurely pace I could take you down and show you all around If you got a minute to waste And we just try to settle down this miracle head We just try to settle down this miracle head Try to ride the rainbow Try to find the all night miracle head Tires on the ground, the alleys got a crowd The lamps they make a terrible rave Rat's choreograph the Carolina shag No one's gonna get in the way Penny-Ante Avenue's crawlin' with the hounds Barkin' up the miserable trees I remember her, she's terrible for sure She spits on everybody she sees

I took all the time it takes On an ever extended break Just to find that I'm half awake When I'm alone Cause we walked when we should've ran Tripped and fell when we tried to stand Shook it off and got in the van And hit the road Cash and ego aside, just try and try to stay bonafide So run sucker run Get your head on straight Stay gone for however long it takes Just point and aim for the sound it makes Hummin in the gun So run sucker run, run sucker run, run sucker run away run sucker run, run sucker run,run sucker run away Off all of the things I feared I would miss as the ending neared To my trapeze artist career I didn't know That the years spent above the lights Made me grow so afraid of heights That it keeps me awake at night and leads me home Counting backwards from the balcony The drifters sleep alone tonight, despite an honest try I tried to keep it for the life of me But now it's gone, now it's gone

If I was a snake, I'd be a cottonmouth I'd hide in the lade and try and freak you out Whatever I said, you'd only scream and shout at me If I was a tramp, I'd sleep in cable cars And I'd spend the nights holed up in hotel bars And I'd fall asleep under the tiny star debris So careful the ones that you waste Leave it to me not to be forgotten I know I'm an acquired taste Bitter and sweet but you think it's rotten You got it all over your face Oh you've got a lot of feather in that jet set headdress But that don't make you a bird If I wasn't much, you'd make me paranoid And if you kept in touch, I'd only disappoint To spoon or to fork, I guess I'll flip a coin for you

Sleepin' in a city where the snakes are lovers Everybody's tangled underneath the covers Try to hide your tongue behind your teeth So when you finally bite there'll be venom underneath But only in the moment will I dare to fess up Wish I was like every sucker playin' dress up Everybody cookin' by the book The cowboys get the checks all I gets the dirty looks I think it's safe to say This ain't the easy way Just let these caterpillars crawl I’m not taking it to bed I know you know Is it hummin in your head? I know you know You don't gotta be afraid I know you know You can take it anyway I know you know Color me the victim of my own ambition Carried the embarrassment and quit the friction Never saw the reason for the rush And I don't see it now, all I think abouts the crush Cause there’s a cold wind blowin There’s a hiss in the mornin’ Cause there ain’t no glory Oh you’ve heard this story? Well…you’re gonna get your way Sever communique And let these caterpillars crawl

Body Bag 03:37
She just wanna joyride in an ambulance Oh you know it's so humiliating Someone said something about a second chance If only she could be resuscitated Her friends are spent it's been a long damn night already She's probably fine. Has anybody seen her lately? No? And the story goes She came in a party dress and left in a body bag An X marked across her wrist, some pills in the other hand She came in a party dress and left in a body bag The Saturday's are chasing our sweet heroin A holy rollers smoky situation But someone needs to notify the next of kin And that's a different kind of conversation The scene is set, it's such a bummer being buried If it's a shock maybe it's all imaginary Oh, and the story goes Everything's alright All it means is you'll find a new way home Yeah you'll find a new ride home We can't afford to trip on the beat again Trip on the beat again yeah
9.
She's pretty sweet I'm a creep Pretty soon we're gonna meet In a bar On the street And the rest is rain But all I wanna say is I'll never complicate it All I wanna do is make you come over I've got nothing to say Got nothing to do Let's get screwed You mean nothing to me I mean nothing to you Let's get screwed Sweet little smoke Little heat Little lines cut out so neat It's a wash in the sheets And it's never done But all I wanna say is I'd never aim to try ya All I wanna do is get high and stay high
