Dear lazy hands don’t shake Beget malpractice Wash before you operate And kill The Classics Sometimes these plans get made They’re weird and drastic But tending to exaggerate is so Attractive House in the air Dispatch in pairs I might just stare and spite the glare Re-redesigned a stich in time Well it saved nine so never mind You’re so cool So hip, so rad, so rock and roll But that old tricks as old as time Still thinks it’s slick Still makes me sick Still makes me sick I know the ending right? I know this story Nothing like a gut punch whispers That’s amore (mwah) It’s just a joke but hey now look what’s happening The silence of the subjects saying no ones laughening So, give it your old college try Armchair grad school private eye House in the air Dispatch in pairs I might just stare and spite the glare Re-redesigned a stitch in time Well it saved nine so never mind You’re so cool So hip, so rad, so rock and roll But that old tricks as old as time Still thinks it’s slick Still makes me sick

Hold up What did you mean? Vocal static, color, coma TV You know you talk in your sleep Placing a piece of the seed Delineates between the want and the need Rough stuff Admittedly Part time original sin Hell what a way to begin Won’t try and guess how this ends Well just a vehicle of you Full time I’m here for the view Looks like it’s running on fumes And that’s true (So true) It’s so true (So true man) And how about you? (And how about you?) And how about you? Is it so true too? Hold up Mumble don’t spray Adjectives right? Oh so heavy to say Blink twice that’s ok My sentry safe dossier Stole the landline from the serfs own display What for? Anyway You said your heads feeling fine You said your thoughts are still mine My breath still beating in time And all you need is a ride Well if you want to survive You gotta get out alive We’re all fine (It’s all fine) While heads are down for the count Seeking or hide to be found Who’s down for moving around? Closer being the skit Trust me we know what we did Trying our best to be kids Crossing The Walt Whitman Bridge The Ben Franklin Bridge The Brooklyn Bridge The George Washington Bridge The Golden Bridge And the Tappan Zee Bridge Wait the Verrazano Bridge Bridge (x4)

Move skew Here we go “Be true” What a joke Talk showed radio'd Super cooled watch it glow Unamused Long ago Dada Is it though? Can I get a spectacle? Burned out Blame the stars All dead Must be mars “Talk to me you tarot card” Energy another bar Middle span monolith Sinking but not sinking in Dreaming like the first time that you really thought you could sing (Now listen...) Whatever right? "It’s not my place" Lovely night Set the pace Look at that it’s getting late It’s crazy that you're still awake Reference checking database Slick slick interface Can I get a little space? Something like an easy idol Caught in closer ghost revival Something still somewhat insightful Ringing out those drums for miles Middle span monolith Sinking but not sinking in Dreaming like the first time that you really thought you could sing Middle span monolith Sinking but not sinking in Little mismanagement Sinking but not sinking in

It’s been so long I think your friends are pretty furious And when your name comes up it’s always something serious Like you’ve been tracing through the infrasonic strata sound Sometimes it shakes Most nights it breaks Sometimes it turns around Sometimes it turns around Sometimes it turns around But it’s getting late And I can’t stay awake God is that the time? Boy I could use a ride If you don’t mind But it’s getting late And I can’t stay awake God is that the time? Boy I could use a ride If you don’t mind It’s getting pretty late It’s getting pretty late It’s getting pretty late wish I could stay awake it’s already yesterday wish I could stay awake

I felt the winter shiver Freeze itself and start to whisper Breath in let it go Breath out let it go Rigid, reliant, silent My sphere’s never felt so violent Whoa now, I don’t know Whoa now, I don’t know about This kiss next In a nice black dress (But what?) I need some time I think I guess (And damn man) The apartments such a wreck Good catch guess not just caught I’ll hold my tongue and pull the thought don’t quit, upper lip stay stiff, upper lip Be kind rewind its fine I’ll lock up when I leave this time Oh man, this again Oh man, this again now Ain’t this grand? Nod with both my hands (But what?) I think I’m digging this new plan (and damn man) I think I understand (Oh man) I think I’m digging this new plan (And damn man) I think I understand

On the floors of Tokyo Down in London town's a go go With the record selection, And the mirror's reflection, I'll be dancin' with myself When there's no one else in sight, In crowded lonely night Well, I wait so long for my love vibration And I'm dancing with myself Oh oh, Dancing with myself, Oh, oh, dancing with myself Well, there's nothing to lose And there's nothing to prove, well, Dancing with myself If I looked all over the world And there's every type of girl But your empty eyes seem to pass me by Leave me dancin' with myself. So let's sink another drink Cause it'll give me time to think Well If I had the chance I'd ask the world to dance And I'll be dancin' with myself Oh oh, Dancing with myself, Oh, oh, dancing with myself Well, there's nothing to lose And there's nothing to prove, well, Dancing with myself Oh oh, Dancing with myself, Oh, oh, dancing with myself Well, there's nothing to lose And there's nothing to prove, well, Dancing with myself Well if I looked all over the world And there's every type of girl But your empty eyes seem to pass me by And leave me dancin' with myself. So let's sink another drink Cause it'll give me time to think If I had the chance I'd ask the world to dance And I'll be dancin' with myself Oh oh, Dancing with a-myself, Oh, oh, dancing with myself Well, there's nothing to lose And there's nothing to prove, well, Dancing a-with myself Oh oh, Dancing with myself, Oh, oh, dancing with myself Well, there's nothing to lose If I had the chance I'd ask the world to dance And I'll be dancin' with myself
