Armageddon in a Shoebox If I told you a secret Would you even think to keep it If tried to break the ice down Would you sit back and watch me drown If I tried to swallow you whole You can leave and keep the death toll And if bother you tomorrow I just won’t let on what you swallowed ‘Cause yesterday you ran away from All the monsters you were afraid of And yesterday you placed a bet on All the odds you weren’t fed up on just yesterday that was just yesterday They took away my Armageddon From the shoebox where I kept it They steered clear and second guessed him They come ‘round when you least expect em’ You went and tipped your hats to demons Now the rest of us are leavin’ You went to sip the evil liquid Now can you feel the sickness ‘Cause yesterday you ran away from All the monsters you were afraid of And yesterday you placed a bet on All the odds you weren’t fed up on Just yesterday That was just yesterday That was just yesterday That was just yesterday

Supersize America I gotta’ a high speed access internet She gotta’ cable modem plus ink jet I gotta’ sitcom brain that’s getting wet And we’re goin’ we’re goin’ but we’re not gone yet Thanks for stopping but keep walking Eyes at recess making a mess I gotta’ an art-fag mag on my toilet seat I gotta’ real hard time with gettin’ sleep We’re gonna’ turn them cattle into sheep Said we’re goin’ we’re goin’ but we’re not quite beat Thanks for stopping but keep walking Eyes at recess making a mess from pocket to picture to disk for richer or porno-flick pictures screen-save fingers the edit co-edit re-edit poetic imbed it or set it in death-com pleasure Thanks for stopping but keep walking Eyes at recess making a mess

Wrong Way 03:29
Wrong Way The distance from the ground to here Is a long long way And she’s helping everyone she meets the wrong Wrong way Too late too late Too late too late And they’re growin’ out like grass In a haze to save your face And they’re tellin’ everyone the truth For the long long wait We’re dawning on ourselves again The wrong, wrong way Now they’re scrambling to find something They lost along the long way Too late too late Too late too late And they’re climbin’ out Like cats in heat along the fast pace And she’s telling; everyone the truth For the long long wait Let’s make this easy I ain’t needy It’ll be easy Japanesey Down to nothin’ Bound by somethin’ Down to nothin’ Bound by somethin’

Oh Well 02:25
Oh Well The break always comes before the sound The rain always rains before the drought And I think I see you fallin’ out And I thought I heard you coming down I can’t get no water from the well Hello And I think that it’s probably just as well Oh well The thunder always comes before the storm The pity always shows before the scorn The blood always pumps before the heart The artist never rescued by his art I can’t get no water from the well Hello And I think that it’s probably just as well Oh well Hello

Comin’ In Waves I can see her comin’ She’s comin’ in waves And after sex she feels like She had an alien baby Says lesbian Jamie And she says its love’s light Everything that she said Just comin’ in waves All those times that we spent Just comin’ in waves I can see her in the distance She’s got that fire in her hand She’s walkin’ on water And you can have your concrete Don’t preach on me Don’t preach on me Everything that she said Just comin’ in waves All those times that we spent Just comin’ in waves Just comin’ in waves Everything that she said We said not to get your head in a mess Like we find ourselves in again Let’s we pretend the nothing’s not here So just please step away From that inside window pain And if you’ll calmly just melt away From that one time she weren’t chaste And she says its love’s light Comin’ in waves Comin’ in waves

In the Act 04:57
In the Act She’s done enough she talks to loud I’ve seen enough I’m not to proud to have it all On my back She’s caught on to your latest rumor Caught on to your sense of humor It won’t be too long now How would you feel Now she says that she ain’t laughin’ Now’s our chance might as well cash in our chips For a change And my patience wearin’ thin And our ship’s just come sailin’ in Don’t tip the boat when you step in If we sink it’s ‘cause our heavy sins Are weighin’ down on our chests This shit comes out my mouth’s a monster This common ground so why not stomp her Out like that dam red spot She’s fallin’ through so why not catch her In the act and not the stretcher If the truth be told we’re all lyin’ here And my patience wearin’ thin And our ship’s just come sailin’ in Don’t tip the boat when you step in If we sink it’s ‘cause our heavy sins She keeps her legs crossed She can tell time with her feet She don’t need no time machine She’s goin’ to the moon

In the Rain 10:03
In the Rain She sits outside In the rain She twiddles her fingers In disdain She hikes up her socks For the next rock concert Dreamin’ to meet the next biggest thing To date And she’s glad to see him straight He is tragic but that’s okay She thinks at least he’s safe For a little while And in exchange For her little smiles She will be saved ‘til She lays down in the rain She wakes up late Eats in her pajamas She never forgets to call Her grandma Kate And tell her That she’s okay She thinks she is At least just for today And she’s always got her mace And she’s tryin’ To keep face For a little while And in exchange For her little smiles She will be saved Till she lays down in the rain
