City Buses

Clouds and city buses roll in at the same tempo
And the words coming off my tongue
Aren’t tasting very gentle
But you want to do this anyway
It started as a sunny day
Now it’s gloomy
But I’ll be right there with you
If you wanna get the truth out
Cause I know there’s no excuses
Once you pull the proof out
Now you’re playing my game
You gotta call me by a different name
How about maverick?
This time I swear
I promise to be serious
‘Cause I can tell
That you’re in need of a decent friend
No more wasted hours
On a false pretense
Can we both agree?
I’ll be going all night
Don’t have time to get my rest in
Cause I’m working for the day
When I will finally be the best in town
Maybe then you’ll wanna come around
But I don’t think so
This time I swear
I promise to be serious
‘Cause I can tell
That you’re in need of a decent friend
No more wasted hours
On a false pretense
Can we both agree?
But I’m not gonna get my hopes up
Just so you can let me down
I said I’m not gonna get my hopes up
Just so you can let me drown
This time I swear
I promise to be serious
‘Cause I can tell
That you’re in need of a decent friend
No more wasted hours
On a false pretense
Can we both agree?

Carousels

End of the night
No regretting
Sleepless in someone else’s bed
You’re just on loan
You keep pretending
You’re leasing out a piece of hell or heaven
The night is long
Not as long as my reach
Reach right around pull out the dawn and repeat
The same tired tracks in the same tired mind
One that don’t tire out from reading between the lines
Just another passenger on this carnival ride
The ebb and flow of carousels continuously raising the price
The day is short
Not as short as my leash
To where I am bound I would rather not see
Look in between
Whatchu’ expecting to find?
Something called you or just a waste of my time
Just another passenger on this carnival ride
The ebb and flow of carousels continuously raising the price
End of the night
No regretting
Sleepless in someone else’s bed
You’re just on loan
You keep pretending
You’re leasing out a piece of hell or heaven
Just another passenger on this carnival ride
The ebb and flow of carousels continuously raising the price
Just another passenger on this carnival ride
The ebb and flow of carousels continuously raising the price
The night is long
Not as long as my reach
Reach right around pull out the dawn and repeat
Look in between
Whatchu’ expecting to find
Something called you or just a waste of my time

Fluoride

Where are we going on this train of thought?
I can’t see the station, I wanna get off
Where are we going on this train of thought?
It’s something more borrowed and less of what’s bought
And I tried to remember what it is that I sought
I tried to recall, but then I forgot
And it starts to sink in and I start my blinkin’
It takes me to a different time and space
The Fluoride in the water
It shrinks my minds’ eye
And stories in history
Are written by the victor
Which is sicker? Which is sicker?
May I inquire of you my friend?
Oh oh oh
Why are we pitched all these distractions?
Why do I itch for more interaction?
They want to see souls outside of bodies
Walking around with their eyes cast down all the time
On another man’s dime
The Fluoride in the water
It shrinks my minds’ eye
And stories in history
Are written by the victor
Which is sicker? Which is sicker?
May I inquire of you my friend?
Oh oh oh
We’ll get behind them
So we can stand in line
Divided and conquered
One at a time
Their aim their game
Oh It’s one in the same
A pawn of people
Upon a people now
The Fluoride in the water
It shrinks my minds’ eye
And stories in history
Are written by the victor
Which is sicker? Which is sicker?
May I inquire of you my friend?
Oh oh oh

Totem Pole

I am not your typical cat
No I’ve got a taste for the abstract
And I wanna know
Where I stand on your pyramid scheme
On your pyramid scheme
Three or four, which is more?
I don’t know, I don’t know
If I wanna open that door
Looking for the truth
Looking for the truth everywhere
Looking for the truth
Looking for the truth in the way that you stare
And how has this come to be?
When I look at you I can’t fucking see
Oh Oh
Oooh oooh
Oh Oh Oh
Even though you think it’s a drag
I like to lay around and read a book and smoke a fag
Unconcerned with your totem pole
With your totem pole
Three or four, which is more?
I don’t know, I don’t know
If I wanna open that door
Looking for the truth
Looking for the truth everywhere
Looking for the truth
Looking for the truth in the way that you stare
And how has this come to be?
When I look at you I can’t fucking see
Oh Oh
Oooh oooh
Oh Oh Oh
I am not your typical cat
No I’ve got a taste for the abstract
And I wanna know
Where I stand on your totem pole
On your totem pole

Bourgeois
02:28

Just when I thought I was over her
She steps back in with a memory in her hand
And It’s dark, the darkest part of the night
She says she’s taking a stand
For love
Woah
Love
Just when I knew I was hidden from view
She wanders by with nothing to do
But find me in a lost an sorry state
Not much on my plate but love
Oh Ooh
The bourgeois will rot
And they will find me not
For I’ll be lost in the passion
And throes of what’s fought
The shadow play on her face
Has somehow become
my sweet embodied disgrace
I’ve never felt so hollow
So hollow
It’s a new kind of space for me
I’m a sea of lust
And lost intentions
And love
Doesn’t feel right
Doesn’t feel right
any more
The bourgeois will rot
And they will find me not
For I’ll be lost in the passion
And throes of what’s fought
