BRAINS
04:19
|

Brains, you put me in chains
Love you in waves
War on false aims
Using false names
In this false game
I'll take the blame
You take the reigns
New beginning
Leave me to hang
'Cause I don't have
Nothing to claim
No nothing to claim
So give me brains
Brains, give me brains
Brains, you tease me then pain
Whip with a name
Discredited fame
Implicitly sane
I ain't in that frame
By the law
Of the man
And the woman
No in between
Just lies and machine
They have no brains
So it's not in vain
No it's not in vain
It can't be in vain
Just give me your brain
Give me your brains
Brains, give me brains

Cast Iron Man
03:04
|

She sings her song so sweetly
She sings at every chance
She is just a lonely bird, and me
I'm a cast iron man
I feel me growing older
It wears so painfully
Does she notice when I falter
Does she hide it from me
Or do I not see?
The yew is cut to make the beam
I'll build the sky you fill the seas
And in between we'll find the beach
I'd give myself completely
To guarantee the chance
That we meet again in spirit
You tell me your journey
That was separate from me
Which path really has the deets?
I fucked around and came up with these
You possess me in many ways
But no way that I'd leave this place
The yew is cut to make the beam
I'll build the sky you fill the seas
And in between we'll find the beach
Yes, in between we'll find the beach

Night Liver
04:49
|
|||
Are you a night liver?
Go getter?
Sleep later?
In this cold weather?
She's a night liver
Love giver
Pain shedder
Lane changer
She took me to an after party
In a hotel lobby
She says I'm naughty
Must be magnets in our bodies
I haven't felt this way in four years
Magic in mystery beers
Oh yes, the end is near, just one more here
Dream maker
Need another slow burner?
Make it or break ya
Give me a ring
Night, set up
Still bitter
Night liver
Got to be a good sinner
She took me to an after-after party
Her friends were all on molly
"Well Stevie do you party?"
Not since Green Bay won Lombardi
I'm good on that but hit this right here
Still down but two is closing
Oh yes, where to from here?
Your place is near?
Brain coated in her
No say in whether
The only question
Will she take you or leave ya?
Everybody is a night liver
Strapped to smokes, near liquor
Nobody can quit neither
In this world of fuckin' quitters
You said one thing that really stuck out in my mind I couldn't shake it all night
Bad fit, rad bitch, but I don't play tag baby
No matter how fine, there's a line
When your phone rang you said hold on honey
Thought I missed it, but ya thought wrong dummy

Along With You
04:07
|
|||
I could profess thousand coffer
Place, combination too
Give drink the last my water
Let me come along with you
Take sound, my first love, from me
That's what brought me to you
Let bleed the last my offer
Take what is left entombed
I could slept on daily proverbs
But I make them myself
I cannot take the glory
My pride prevents the sell
'Tween three or four old lovers
You make them fake like hell
Your command makes me humble
You handle my strength well
I could profess thousand coffer
I can accept million offer
I can become manic easy
But I don't panic baby
A side effect of trauma
Repeated mama drama
When you entered the arena
I was a bullshit dealer
Now seeing clear as karma
I'm cleaning up my problems
I could slept on daily proverbs
But I make them myself
I cannot take the glory
My pride prevents the sell
'Tween three or four old lovers
You make them fake like hell
Your command makes me humble
You handle my strength well
Take what is left entombed
Another lesson learned
From the east comes a tune
That plays inside of you
Let it bring out the new
Let it make people swoon
Let it break people's views
Of what they thought of you
I could profess thousand coffer
I could...
Take what is left entombed
Another lesson learned
From the east comes a tune
That plays inside of you
Let it bring out the new
Let it make people swoon
Let it break people's views
Of what they thought of you

Next in Line
03:45
|
|||
I want ya, sincerely, to go away
But "you're so afraid" of being single,
And in the middle of June
I never said I would stay here with you
No I didn't
But you came to me
Rapped on my door till 3:00
I need some place where I can lose my mind
I need a place where I can leave behind the lies in time
Two for you, none me
I can afford you but I don't need
Pretty bitch that can't see the big piece
"Who are you?" "I'm free" that's what I'll say honey
I need my place, some wine, a new behind, next in line
You need to cough up all the bills that you have left behind
I need some place where I can lose my mind
I need my time, some wine, my smoke, my mind

Kansas Town
02:17
|
|||
In a Kansas town
A fair maiden drowned
She took a pill
Then drove off Buck O'niel
Years ago she took me there
We just stood around
Watched the stars and drove back to town
In North Meadow my boyhood friend shot his ex-girlfriend
She didn't live and he will spend his life in pens
I remember snow fights
He remembers desert nights
Killing kids
I.E.D. pipes
I never got to say goodbye old friend
Now you're...
Gone and gone and gone now you're...
In a dream I found
I picked them up, drove them around
Showed them what
Their lives where like where I came from
Never did they realize
They were a dream of their own lives
I said next time think twice
And I drove them both back to town
