Strawberry

I like bananas and apples
Pineapples and pears
But one thing that’ll never reach my mouth
Even in my darkest despair
Are those goddamn strawberries
And watermelons, too
It’s true
Today I watched Food, Inc.
And now I really hate meat
But I’d rather eat a burger than anything
But I still hate meat
But what else am I gonna eat?
Well they say an apple a day keeps the doctor away
If that’s your logic on how society works
Then I might not even bother going outside
And picking berries to make fine wine
Or dry the leaves using the sun
And use them as my plate
And build a home with wood and sticks
And carve my own tools like a caveman

Winged Eyeliner

the girl with the winged eyeliner tip
she takes me on a magical trip
the simplest things in life give me joy, oh yeah
the simplest things in life get to me
ever since I've counted my ABCs and discerned from my head to my knees
oh, that's just how life was for me
color coding everything
the girl with the winged eyeliner tip
she takes me on a magical trip
the simplest things in life give me joy, oh yeah
oh, i'm always satisfied whenever I look to your winged eyes
you say, "don't harp on everything"
i don't believe in true love at first sight but next to you feels so... fucking... right
i was never a fan of fate! (haha)
there's more to life than organize
red, blue, and green will never satisfy
i wish we woke up to see the sunrise
the girl with the winged eyeliner tip
she takes me on a magical trip
oh, how wonderful!
the simplest things in life give me joy! oh yeah!

Rosas

Pienso que mi vida fue salvado
Y pienso que mi amor fue contestado
Por sus uñas violetas, y sus labios rosas
Supongo que estoy soñando
Nadie más lo pueden ver, ni lo pueden creer
Cómo me haces sentir
Muy cómodo, si yo fuera infantil
Un mundo para compartir
Dónde estuviste todo este tiempo
Tomó el año entero y la madrugada para darse cuenta que siempre estuviste allí

Flamingos
02:24
|
|
||
|
We're dancing like flamingos in the wintertime
I don't care where we'll go, I don't care where we'll be
Let's forget everyone we've known
You and me, there's no place we'll never go
We're just walking around this empty road
I can't wait to meet you
I can't wait for you to meet me too

Françoise, My Friend
03:44
|
|

Françoise, my friend
It's weird to talk to you again
When i'm asked how I'm doing, I say "pas très bien"
I remember when you told me of your dream
The one where you said where you'd never leave
But now you've gone away and I'm here to stay
Françoise, my friend
You wanna come back for more
But the damage is done, there's no use waiting by the door
Françoise, my friend
I tell all my friends that I left you
But the truth is that you left me, what's the use with the self-pity?

Kama Sutra Paperback
02:02
|
|
||
|
Kama sutra paperback tells a story of your matriarchal majesty
I'd love to tag along
Because where I'm going, I know I'll be safe in your arms
Marching in the lover’s pond
On my knees
In the temple where we sleep
Dreams of you I’ll always keep
Because where I'm going, I know I'll be safe in your arms
From the fruit from a saccharine tree
Your lips are sweeter than candy

Brand New Guitar
02:34
|
|
||
|
I want a brand new guitar
The one I'm playing now is perfectly fine
Even though the action's a little high
It sounds lovely when I play
But I still want a brand new guitar
It has knobs to get louder
It tunes itself
It even comes with wi-fi in the strings
It has humbuckers that'll draw you out
It sounds good with a distortion pedal
|

|
I'm an open book, easy to read
Got nothing to hide like a bikini
So give yourself away to the sea
Surf's up, it's a brand new day
I can hold your hand if you're not feeling safe
Give yourself away to the sea
I'm trying my best to be a good man, learned to understand when things don't go to plan
So give yourself away to the sea
I have endless fun with you and no one gets me the way you do
I gave myself away to the sea!
The waves of love crash
The nature of waves, they all come back
Their pull is so strong, so give yourself away to the sea
If you ever see someone drowning, I promise it ain't me...

Waiting By the Phone
02:50
|
|
||
|
Surfin in Santo Domingo, or in Punta Cana
It's such a lovely day outside, except for one thing...
I've been waiting by the phone for you!
I've been waiting day and night for you, oh yeah!
The goth kids come out with their dashikis, holding rose petals in their hands
This is what free love looks like, making passionate love in the sand
I've been writing some poems or two with the ancient wisdom of Timbuktu
And i've been having a good time, except for one thing...
I've been waiting by the phone for you!
I've been waiting day and night for you, oh yeah!

The Thanks I Get
04:17
|
|
||
|
Don't rip out the stitches when I'm just trying to heal
I lost my best friend today
Lovemaking turned ordeal
The tears I cried, I wish they weren't for you
You don't deserve them, baby
I'll save them for someone true
I gave you everything I had, everything you ever wanted
This is the thanks I get for loving you

When we were young, man we had fun
But good things never build to last
So you called me a child, you called me a fraud
You called me everything in the book except for my love
Seeing other people with your ghost
It's kinda funny to watch it happen
I can't wait till it breaks your heart in two
But that's one for the books, it doesn't matter anyway
When you left me astray, I never thought i'd be okay
But now I'm better than I ever was
Got lots of friends and time to pretend
Out of sight, out of mind
Seeing other people with your ghost
It's kinda funny to watch it happen
I can't wait till they know the real you
But that's one for the books, it doesn't matter anyway

Kim and Thurston
03:10

America's favorite couple is dead
Oh, how the fame got to our head
There are things I wish we had not said
The girl in the band
No one could understand what she really wanted
You never wanted my help
One played bass and the other played guitar
One moved south, the other to the stars
It's a shame once we grow, we grow far
The fruit of rock n' roll never tasted so sweet
Breaking up is hard, had me numb to my feet
Americans are mourning today
Because rock n' roll will never be the same
One played bass and the other played guitar
One moved south, the other to the stars
It's a shame once we grow, we grow far and far and far

Charge It to the Game
02:22
|
|
||
|
Charge it to the game, charge it to the game
All good things can't stay the same so now we charge it to the game
When you left I threw away all the photos of us
Of those really good times
But I missed a couple of them as I aimed towards the recycling bin
I looked at them and saw how happy we once were
Trading love letters like vows
Charge it to the game, charge it to the game
We were living life in the fast lane so now we charge it to the game
But as time passes, we grew further apart
You couldn't take it for long
You wanted space and freedom, I wanted someone to hold in my arms
Life got in the way and you caught the wind
I'm close to accepting it
I hate how it has to be this way
But I wouldn't have it any other way
Charge it to the game, charge it to the game
All good things can't stay the same so now we charge it to the game

Rose Colored Lens
03:15
|
|

I'm sure you're happier with him
You left me for another one
I think that's a sin but whatever
Your rose colored lens they're turning black
The sour part of life you can't counteract with sex and drugs and rock n' roll
Lonely lonely me
I was the fool who thought our bond too strong to break
I'm sure you never take a trip for nostalgia's sake
Who am I kidding when I say you're worse off without me
Making my bed with denial and pleas that things will get better
When the waterfalls came running down
I had to make sure no one was around
I don't want anyone to see me this way
I'm crying how you threw me away
The reasons why, you didn't say
How was I supposed to know that your heart belonged to another
Lonely lonely me

Oversaturation of Music
02:10
|
|
||
|
We gotta do something about oversaturation
We gotta do something about intoxication
We gotta do something about stipulation
We gotta do something about inspiration information
Look out my window, what do I see, a sea of music watching over me
A friend of mine sent me a text saying, "hey you gotta check this song out"
"It's like if Bo Diddley met Bauhaus, it's like post-punk without the punk"
So I click the link, it's a good song
There are a million just as short and just as long
Sometimes I wonder what went wrong
We gotta do something about that hot buttered soul
We gotta do something about that rock n' roll
We gotta do something about that white savior
We gotta do something about the violator, oh yeah
I got the first pressing of Night Beat, how about you?
I got the British pressing of Tapestry, hey, I do too!
Everybody in town's got a mandolin, and a brushed-up grin, and a life of sin with a bottle of gin and juice
It's too late to sing the blues
We gotta do something about the nuclear codes
We gotta do something about Depeche Mode
We gotta do something about ethnicity
We gotta do something about playing Misty for me

Black Metal Serenade
02:32
|
|
||
|
sing me a black metal serenade
when everything has turned gray
and I'll be the last one to say
beauty is power
until it's taken away, and then no one gives a damn what you gotta say
you're a cold motherfucker, Charlie Brown
You've ruined Christmas again with your ugly frown

America's Sweetheart
03:26
|
|
||
|
money won't change you but I certainly will
America's sweetheart, don't you remember me from the films?
the siren's song were in a twelve-bar blues
if you let me baby, I surely can love you
I love your poofy hair
you must love Brigitte Bardot
we can dance the waltz right here in the snow
I'm just like any other man
I have a mortgage and a five-year plan
i got a lot of scripts to read and auditions to attend
but this whole time, it's this broken heart i've been trying to mend
i will treat you like an equal cause that is what you are
no special treatment because you're dating a star
you don't have to be nervous
the way my phone blows up
those are just my agents baby, i would never give up on our love no! no!
you've been so sweet and kind
I wanna know if you're ready to cross that line
there's no turning back, but there's nothing to fear
if you ever get scared, darling I'm right here!

I've Got a Crush on You
04:21
|
|
||
|
ooh I've got a crush on you
i wonder if you feel it too
it feels so right to be next to you
this funny feeling's filled with bliss
sign, seal, deliver with a kiss
You're cool as hell and I want to get to know you better
Your style is so rare, you've got the artsy flair
I wonder if you pray to the sun
Lacquer and pigment dye, you can paint me anytime
I bet you can name every piece at the Hirshhorn
Yes, i've loved and lost and had to pay the cost
but I remain hopeful for that special day when I can finally say
I can open up to someone new
And baby, I hope that it's you
You have the vibe of an intellect, sitting at home smoking cigarettes
Those are not ideal for your health
Pondering the state of affairs, take a polaroid of a chair
Frame it and hang it on an amber wall
I don't want you to think you're the one
Love is like a loaded gun
You've seduced me with your charm
If we part, well that's okay
I'm grateful any way for whatever time we spend together
And baby, it's not forever

Deluxe Reverb

you look up to Almodóvar, you live in the sixties
you are my dream girl but you hate when I say that
I don't drink bubble tea
I don't drink coffee
I don't study photography, you like psychology
deluxe reverb costs $7,000 but I'll buy it just for you
spent all my money at the movie theaters but I forgot you wanted to rock
cinematography, you bought a Leica
I don't speak French so I don't know the lyrics
you can play "stairway to heaven" but you don't know the E chord
Well i will show you
you're a music video girl
