I'm gonna have a good time tonight Maybe try to not be fine Cause whats yours isn't mine I'm gonna have a good time tonight Hang me, oh hang me from a star The only thing to hold me tight Is the rope and the moonlight Hang me, oh hang me from a star I'm gonna get fucked up tonight On Mollys time my teeth will grind But babe I'm alive I'm gonna get fucked up tonight
3.	Nothing Good 02:06	lyrics	buy track
I'm no good out on the streets I give too much and make a scene We never eat at byo Just pre-drink to drink at home We cheers the sun on its way up Tomorrow how now its been cut We live through hell Its rock and roll But no one I know is famous Nothing good ever happens Past four AM No alcohol but a dirty pole I saw her breasts and we both felt low The other men were having fun I can't object But I need someone More than the flesh More than the stars More than the stash More than the dark And if Jesus really loves me Come on down here man and fuck me Nothing good ever happens Past four AM
4.	Restroom 03:58	lyrics	buy track
I wake up next to you like everyday With summers aging sunlight all on your face I pray for myself I'm lucky to be alive For our birthdays baby We love to die Then I walk to the bathroom And despise the mirror I'm gonna kill you Monday runs and I've made the most Of the weekend by sleeping No not at all And though it's hot outside It's night that burns me out By five AM All my friends hang their heads down Then I walk to the bathroom To the porcelain pillow I'm gonna kill you
5.	God Gets Around 04:25	lyrics	buy track
People pay for their dreams No one told them its free If anything its blood money Gods gotta buy something I'm so sorry dear I can't go without Gotta survive somehow Am I heavy empty, a weekend rule If it's one day man that's cool I cannot get around The reason for faith While we die by the hour But repay when he says You know man I'm down Don't think twice Just love your life And stay strong if you can Just do it for me Get on your feet And see what pain can be When you had everything all over the place I'm glad you didn't see me that day We're always together Now and then Breathing the same air I cannot get around The reason for faith While we die by the hour But repay when he says You know man I'm down
6.	Life 05:30	lyrics	buy track
Life is a lie But you don't lie ahead Resigned just to cry I gave you my bed I thought we were friends Now I'm scared of the sky And the wire But they can't read your mind When your high Life is lie Please don't call me baby Though you are a mother Fucker For changing me Now I'm dancing to river Mother calls to miss you And I want to skate away too Said goodbye in Seattle I wasn't actually thinking It was good Across the Pacific It was different You know I can't feel overseas Now I heal at the bar I'm allowed, a movie star You know what that means The tragedy of love Sets you free To believe Please don't call me baby Though you are a mother Fucker For changing me Now I'm dancing to river Mother calls to miss you And I want to skate away too
7.	The Longest Suicide in History 04:19	lyrics	buy track
The longest suicide in history That is what it was meant to be But your life plays out And it won't end It won't ever end Never plan after dark The night it goes too fast While a double life It can kill you twice Give it up for love Cause without there's only drugs And I'm giving up on love Painful scenes you and me With the people we'd rather to be Crushing cans for the chance To score some ass Blurred stars to spinning streets In the morning were finally free To charge home Alone God, I feel so empty God, I feel so empty Wasted youth, whats to waste Baby, we turned out ok And well see at fifty Whos kicking on to say To live you got to die Then ask me for a light But shit It's just such a bad look by now So your sold as it is The weekend won't let you quit Young once old forever God highs up there in heaven So why not join him too Nobody wants you to
8.	Cope 02:05	lyrics	buy track
How are you February Don't ask You'll be strung out for the next six weeks When we're here And my rings are in your hands Well the cats gone And grandma died As we sang dancing queen by her side I flew in from LA But I left my angel behind The sun was as red as the whites of my eyes Three days awake Smoke clouds for skies The years been on it Man I can tell As I return to see My friends lose their hair Grow pregnant with beer Moving into harder drugs Or settling into early love But dogs Don't fear Everything will be ok in the end And if it's not It's not the end Don't you give up Cope

about

This album is two months. Two months of bad news and no rules. A summation of how we deal with our problems.

We don't see it, we feel it less than before. Barely sleeping in fear of missing out, a double life can kill you twice. Think back through revelry and poisonous mornings, think back on the plane, grey cities to endless palm trees, high desert and your family and then last year too, throwing up the past to examine all you've tried. Pick again and pretend this time it's precious, you make it and it's useless. In the spirit of living stay in business and move on.

The only time I went out I won't come back. Lying on the floor from last night, sunlight a caustic and unwanted visitor at the window. When you hear the birds and black turns to blue, these signs of life will be the death of the night and yours.
