cigarette

six five on another eon
and i know that i couldn't go on
without a cigarette
another cigarette

so light me up
so light me up

when six five on another eon
and i know that i couldn't go on
without a cigarette
another cigarette

so light me up
so light me up

it's cold cold night in the north north east
not a care in the world, no, not in the least
and i know that i couldn't go on
without a cigarette
a fucking cigarette

cause six five on another eon
and i know that i couldn't go on
without a cigarette
another cigarette

so light me up
so light me up

2010

i'm still learning what's right and wrong
the categories blur within the song
everybody knows their rights and wrongs but me
what's it gonna take to see?

maybe a call from the local cops
a house party in a cardboard box
stuck in the rocks
board it up with pins and locks

or insides filled with vladamir
when you're driving drunk without the fear
you don't notice everything's unclear
when you're driving drunk it's so hard to steer

you won't make it home this year

we're all raised as petty crooks
hardly breaking the laws in all the books
we fit the looks to dull to shine
and all these wrong words tend to rhyme

yes every wrong word tends to rhyme

strangest heaven

it's taken 6 years to write you a love song
i love ya bit

1 - dear ms. lady

2 - it's gonna be okay
3 - it's gonna be alright
4 - it's gonna take sometime
5 - for this wet paint to dry

6 - but maybe I'm wrong
7 - maybe they were the right one's all along
8 - we don't fit together cause being alone's
9 - so much better than being together
10 - but we're still together

11 - let me be your strangest heaven
12 - your backwards, up the wall, against your mother's law
13 - kind of heaven
14 - your twisted, mess up, wrong in every way
15 - kind of heaven

16 - so just take my chance
17 - and I'll meet your dare
18 - cause i'm one stubborn mother fucker and you're a vicious bitch
19 - but shits getting better all the time
20 - and a part of me says "fuck, that's fine"

21 - what a change of pace
22 - and this scenery
23 - I just thought I'd remind you that I'd loved you
24 - cause we tend to forget

25 - let me be your strangest heaven
26 - your backwards, up the wall, against your mother's law
27 - kind of heaven
28 - your twisted, mess up, wrong in every way
29 - kind of heaven

30 - now we don't have time for stupid fights
31 - I've learned that my ego isn't always right
32 - I've cleaned out my conscience and I gave it to you
33 - nearly tore your heart right in two-o-o-o

34* - let me be your strangest heaven
35 - your backwards, up the wall, against your mother's law
36 - kind of heaven
37 - your twisted, mess up, wrong in every way
38 - kind of heaven
39 - your backwards, up the wall, against your mother's law
40 - kind of heaven
41 - your twisted, mess up, wrong in every way
42 - kind of heaven
43 - let me be your strangest heaven

44 - sincerely yours, mr. boy

old apartment

in our old apartment
we were doing just fine
in our old apartment
when the world was small
and not a thing to find

in our old apartment
you could come and stop by
in our old apartment
when our life was good
and no one cried

in our old apartment

angel

i'm that angel with the one good wing
couldn't sing
doesn't know a god damn thing about prayer
and i'd never wear that halo
oh no, you know i go slow

so believe
in me
put faith in something you can't see
cause it's easy
to believe
but won't always grantee
it'll be
this easy
just don't leave me for another brother

i'm that angel with a broken string
no king
wouldn't do a god damn thing too brave
and i'd never save no one
don't run, i'm too fun and not done

tallies

thats one for the alcohol
two for the lies
threes for the lust and a DUI
and four is the cost
when five is the loss

of how i coulda been bolder, oh so bolder
still counting the tallies on the back of my shoulder

so count it one, two, three, four
anybody whats the score
