Intro
This is so when I turn 40
I'll have finally released a song
And this is how I hope you'll remember
Me when I'm long gone
And some of these might be about you
Or maybe this is how I'll meet you
Horsefly
I've been buzzin like a horsefly
I've been smilin in my sleep
Send my best
And give your love my love
What I wouldn't give
You've been shining like a birdsong
All around and in my head
I decided what I had to say
And said it but forget it
It was never what I meant
(But I looked you in the eye)
You decided what you needed
And Im sad at you
For burning down the barn without amends
(and my tail's between my legs)
You've been slippin through my fingers
When you leave you leave an ache
I'll remember you in warm light
That you radiate

Swedish Horse

You are myth not a human
You are a walking medallion
You conquered earth when you were ten
You won a war with your eyes closed
You sold the Queen all your old clothes
I guess I walked into your trap
Donny put his finger on it
Donny had a thought about it
I think I knew but I was hoping I was wrong
I took a sip from the chalice
I got a taste of your status
I traded out my swedish horse
I found a view of the Bay Bridge
A shady little street in Upper Rockridge
I count my stocks before they hatch
Donny put his finger on it
Donny thought a lot about it
I think I knew but I was hoping I was wrong
Uh oh
The gravity pulls you
Uh oh
The gravity pulls me too
(Me and the whole world)
You hid the pig in the lipstick
I guess I helped as your sidekick
I shoulda kept the swedish horse
And Donny put his finger on it
Donny had a thought about it
Give up the ghost before it burns you to the ground
Uh oh
The gravity pulls you
(The one and only)
Uh oh
The gravity pulls me too
(Me and the whole world)
Woo ooo
Wooo ooo
Wooo ooooooo
Uh oh, don't you know
You got me by the toe
You said the best is yet to come
(That was some bullshit)
Stand up, shoulders back
Beware when they attack
We're gonna get what we deserve
(Totally horse shit)
Woo ooo
Wooo ooo
Wooo ooooooo
Woo ooo
Wooo ooo
Wooo ooooooo
Donny put his finger on it
Donny had a thought about it
I think I knew but I was hoping I was wrong

Hello, how ya doin?
Come on off that floor and get me goin
Do you see me here
With this lonesome beer
Make my big heart beat
with those fancy feet
Hello, get me goin
Let's twist and move
I rely on you, I do
And it's partially
that I want you to see
my electricity
when my engine's on
Go on, get me up
I've been sitting on my buttercup
For way too long
Now I need this song
Dolly Parton's on
And it won't be long
Go on, get me up
I've been sitting on my buttercup
For way too long
Now I need this song
Can you take me dear
Can you hold me near
Oo Oo
Whatchyou looking for?
Oo Oo
Whatchyou waiting for?
Hold your breath
And take my hand and I'll
Make you laugh and pull you in
I forgot there was music on
I forgot we're surrounded by everyone
Oo Oo
Yoo-hoo
Are you hearin me?
Moon walk on a silent block
It gets warm, I can hear you tick tock and I
I'll be ready when you are love
Come shine with me in the morning, love

Little Pretty Pumpkin

Little pretty pumpkin
And a little sumthin sumthin
There is somethin in the water
There is somethin in you
And love, if you could hear me
Show me mercy and release me
I've been praying but I'm thinkin that I'll never get through
And now I need a moment
I could hear a little feedback
Cuz if I'm honest with you now
You'll never see me the same
And now I think I'm over it
I don't know that I can shoulder it
Oh, the last thing that I'd do
Is let you down to your face
Now I'm on my back foot and you know
You've got me cornered with your interview
I'm tongue-tied twistin like an animal
You've got me cornered with your interview
What was I supposed to do?
So how'd you make it up there
To the mountains in the thin air
Is it harder than it looks, or is it really just me
I'm all up in my head now
God if you could pull me out
Put a fork in it and let me down
It's better that way
Sorry I was standing for a while
Looking down
What was I supposed to do?
You've got me cornered with your interview
I'm tongue-tied twistin like an animal
You've got me cornered with your interview
What was I supposed to do?
Another promise in the moment
That I'll live to regret
My heart and soul both know the answer
But my mouth doesn't yet
My arms and legs are gettin tired
From digging out of this debt
You've got me cornered with your interview
I'm tongue-tied twistin like an animal
You've got me cornered with your interview
What was I supposed to do?

A toast
To remember who
Walked in front of you
My love
A drink
To reflect the sun
Shown on everyone
We love
And you live like
My mom
She radiates
And you laugh like
My dad
He fogs his glasses
And you live like
My mom
She radiates
And you laugh like
My dad
He fogs his glasses
You write like
My sister
The one in Egypt
You care like
My sister
The one in England

Unnerved
04:18
|

|
And I feel Unnerved
When you come in my room
There's a hollow wind
A shiver in a Tomb
Help
I'm home
Help
My home
Did you come my way
Follow me away
And I feel unnerved
When you come in my room
Like a dog unhinged
Barkin in my room
And I bet a million dollars
I don't get out alive
Frozen like a bunny in a cage
Frozen lifeless bodies in a grave
Pushin on a broken door
and pullin on the brakes
I get cold
And I feel relieved
When I'm left to my room
And the blood returns
Now I feel my legs
And I'm lying on the roof
And I'm alone
I'm a floating little cloud
Til you come
Frozen like a bunny in a cage
Dozen lifeless bodies in a grave
Fitted in a formal gown
And lowered in the ground
I'm worn out
And I feel unnerved
When you come in my room
Like a dog in chains
Barkin in my room
Criminal and armed
And I'm your prey
And I'm feelin like a man
Without a life
And I'm beggin for your mercy

New Balance Sweatshirt
03:53

|
I gave up The Doors
And vintage clothing stores
I sold all the sunglasses you left me in my drawer
I stopped flying south
And playing Modest Mouse
And I switched my job a hundred times
And I almost bought a house
And I work right next door
To Frank Lloyd Wright's round door
And leave in the trans-bay tube
In the San Francisco aquarium
And I don't love LA
Still a fanboy of the bay
I walk the block past City Lights Bookstore
But it doesn't feel the same
And I don't curse the day
That we talked and walked away
But I kept the charcoal New Balance Sweatshirt
And I'm wearing it today
Oooooo
Oooooo
I wanna know
I wanna know now
I wanna know, I wanna know
Do you remember
You broke my heart and I broke yours too
Mama, You took my heart and I took some too
You broke my heart and I broke yours too
Mama,You kept a part and I kept some too
And I don't live alone
Got a bunny and Liz at home
And an upright Baldwin
From a lady down in Santa Marina
And I left my old guitar
In the locker of a baggage car
But I got your souvenir
In the back of my closet
You broke my heart and I broke yours too
Mama, You took my heart and I took some too
This is just to let you know
There's a piece of you I never let go
And I wonder do you carry me with you
Somewhere buried below

Git Along

I went to the Fillmore
I saw Weird Al there
How could I pass
He was my hero
Eleven years later
I saw Tears For Fears there
But I was alone
So I shared it with strangers
And I saw a dot in the night
That I thought was the light
That connects everyone
Walk upstairs
And the Ancients look down
Take a deep breath
Let the earth spin round
Moon is shining in the sinking sun now
How far the Ancients go
How far the Ancients go
Git along, git along, git along
Til the end of days
Git along, git along, git along
Til the end
Git along, git along, git along
Til the end of days
Ooo oo ooo
oo ooooo
I played the piano
At Jonathan's funeral
He was a kid
I only met his big brother
And I saw a dot in the night
That I thought was the light
That connects me to him
And I felt a pull in my chest
That connects to the rest
Of the parts I can't see
Git along, git along, git along
Til the end of days
Git along, git along, git along
Til the end of days
And I saw a dot
In the night that I thought
And I saw a dot
In the night that I thought
That connects everyone
(Git along)
Git along, git along, git along
Til the end of days
(When your back's out, Git along)
Git along, git along, git along
Til the end
(When you're tired, Git along)
Git along, git along, git along
Til the end of days
Ooo oo ooo
oo ooooo

Holdin' tight in this dark night
So hurry hurry tell me I'm alright
Man, I made a mess again
First out but the last one in
So walk me to the palm-tree patch tonight
(I'm losing it)
Slowly slowly slowly I'm alright
Calm er down

Calm er down
I'm still fallin in
Peter, take your whole life
Peter, you've got warm light
My degree in graphic art
Left me ill-prepared to start
Thinkin with my brain and not my heart
(He's losin it)
So hurry hurry tell me I'm alright
Calm er down
I'm still here
Calm er down
(You're still hurryin)
Peter, count your blessings
Peter, learn your lessons
Peter, get that blanket out
Wont you stick on my way
I still count on you this night
I'm know I'm a record
but it's just that I love ya
And I gotta ask ya
Is it alright
Jesus, Pete, you're gonna miss
The second half of life unless
You finally finally fianlly look outside
Cuz I'm still here
(I'm still here)
Call my name
Cuz I'm still here
Calm er down
(Calm er down)
Cuz I'm still here
Calm er down

XOXO

I'm a dove
For your love
I'm a bird from above
I'm a moon
I'm a loon
I'm a big red balloon
If you're up
Buttercup
Better lean on me now
Such a fool
For a love
Like you
So keep me up
Let our worlds collide
You're a warm little light
In the glow of the night
And you're gonna make it right
I'm a home
In a home
And I'm ready now for your glow
Such a fool
For a love
Like you
Scratch my wall
Let our worlds collide
Sugar Bear, if you're there
I'll step out in the air
And meet you right outside
I'm a fool
For your love
I'm a fool for all that you need
Come on out
Or get rid of me
I'm a fool
For your love
I'm a fool for lovin you
You're a fool
For foolin me
