Barfly 03:58
Armchair referee Cheap advice not for me Wise words slurred, he said Maybe if he lived them his soul would be fed He looks for answers at the Bottom of every bottle, every bottle, every bottle Bar Fly don’t know my name Washed up from whisky-soaked fame Painting his life twice, He lived all wrong, wants me to be right He looks for answers at the Bottom of every bottle, every bottle, every bottle, every bottle I don’t wanna taste like last nights beer Feet stead in the daylight, sight clear I recognize myself in the mirror! He looks for answers at the Bottom of every bottle, every bottle, every bottle,

Peculiar 04:33
And I know That you know That I’ve been quite peculiar Downright unusual As per usual, As per usual In a room you’ve never been in In a world that’s always spinnin’, what keeps you grounded? Travel to other worlds in my bed When napping I traverse mountains in my head comfortable not caring what I said, what i said (And I know That you know That I’ve been quite peculiar Downright unusual As per usual, As per usual In a world you’ve never been in In a room that’s always spinnin’, what keeps you grounded? Dreaming in the light of day Walking on the Suns neon rays Dancing Green lights pave the way, the way, today And I know That you know That I’ve been quite peculiar Downright unusual As per usual, As per usual Paper clouds and purple paint Bathe in psychedelic rain go outside and get a taste, get a taste And I know That you know That I’ve been quite peculiar Downright unusual As per usual, As per usual

I used to stay up late chasing women in bars Now I’m up late kissing scars (2x) She always danced around ways of feeling right A soft cloud raining on a midsummer night Waves against the rock, she’s smoothing away any inconvenience of the heart that might get in the way I used to stay up late chasing women in bars Now I’m up late kissing scars (2x) She wakes me up when i never thought i’d be found She dug me from this unforgiving ground She colored my world, with a single hello She paints my white picket fences yellow I used to stay up late chasing women in bars Now I’m up late kissing scars (2x) I found myself 8 miles out of town Wondering what this was about And why she always sticks around And I found That even though sometimes it hurts I like the way her brain works I like the way her brain works Even though sometimes it hurts

MessItUp 03:11
The devil you know is better than the one you don’t Chase the high, avoid the lows What’s around the corner? only god knows. But I should know, but I should know I mess it up every-time, I mess it up every-time Yesterday felt just like today Nothing seems to change, stay the same old way But, I mess it up every-time, I mess it up every-time The grass is always greener First encounter so much sweeter Than I've ever loved before What’s around the corner? only god knows. But I should know, but I should know I mess it up every-time, I mess it up every-time Yesterday felt just like today Nothing seems to change, stay the same old way But, I mess it up every-time, I mess it up every-time But, I mess it up every-time, I mess it up every-time Oh it’s on me, he can handle some more Sometimes life feels like a chore But, I mess it up every-time, I mess it up every-time Yesterday felt just like today Nothing seems to change, stay the same old way But, I mess it up every-time, I mess it up every-time

On My Side 03:11
I’m watching cars dodging potholes down Wayne She’s always dancing & bouncin’ ‘round in my brain Live your life like you can’t abstain Sometimes it’s hard to stay in your own lane I’ve got nothing but time I’ve got nothing but time I’ve got nothing but time On my side Maybe I was destined to be a gutter rat Momma she don’t like the sound of that Don’t live your life like a welcome mat They’ll step all over you, and never come back I’ve got nothing but time I’ve got nothing but time I’ve got nothing but time On my side The clock it doesn’t matter it’s the same all day Sometimes seconds wait around for Stray old Mistakes Pockets a reminder of a lonely night It’s hard to survive when you don’t get to pick your fights I’ve got nothing but time I’ve got nothing but time I’ve got nothing but time On my side

NASDAQ 05:24
The Dow’s up nasdaq’s down No one knows Words strike deep underneath life’s undertows Rebellions in the air Nothings ever fair Do you even care? Wise and hip to life like an aristocrat They hate what slackers eyes see But each of them is worrisome with love And joyful with ease Maybe I should cancel me Will I be missed to go on with excess? Corporate sponsors with fake pedigrees No wonder we are all depressed The Dow’s up nasdaq’s down No one knows Words strike deep underneath life’s undertows Rebellions in the air Nothings ever fair Do you even care? apathy we share is breaking down the stronghold of my human heart Eyes glossed over in commercial victory Fetish for attention as we live apart Maybe i should flee the one-use products that took my soul Why waste your life in corporate matrimony what will it take for you to be whole? The Dow’s up nasdaq’s down No one knows Words strike deep underneath life’s undertows Rebellions in the air Nothings ever fair Do you even care? one does one does no one does
