1. COMMERCE, TX


I got a bad flavor
I got dirty clothes
I got a strange neighbor
Who doesn't have curtains on her windows

I got a pet hedgehog
Drinkin' jaeger all day
You got me crate combo and a baby on the way
But it's ok

It's gonna take a lot of time
Before i can cross that finish line
And when i can't take the fall
I really wanna make that call

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ah ah ah

That's my new best friend
Ann disaster's her name
We're passin' out on the carpet
And our attributes are the same

It's the slacker lifestyle
That we do so well
Bills are due on monday
I'm oblivious, can't you tell

It's gonna take a lot of time
Before i can cross that finish line
And when i can't take the fall
I really wanna make that call

My brain is super-fried
It involves pain to look inside

It's gonna take a lot of time
Before i can cross that finish line
And when i can't take the fall
I really wanna make that call


2. LAUNCH RAMP


Go!
Tack giant mushrooms to all of the bedrooms
Go yo, to the streets
Impedence with selection
I survey nocturnal thought
As we drive home

Hey, she won
Do do do, do do do
Hey, she won
Do do do, do do do

You're just a vacuum tube down in the basement
Thats of course the game i'm playin
While my heart goes to the almighty
Solidize my internal thought
As we drive home
(you can't tell me, you can't tell me)

Hey, she won
Do do do, do do do
Hey, she won
Do do do, do do do
You're no fun
Do do do, do do do
Since you won
Do do do, do do do...


3. HOW IT SHOULD BE (SHA SHA)


When i was a movie star,
An asteroid had hit the earth
And prematurely ended my career.
I thought out loud, but no one heard me saying:
"Nothing isn't nothing, nothing's something that's important to me. that's right. and everyone's a little nothing, that's ok, that's how it should be."

That's right. that's right. sha sha. sha doo.

When i was an astronaut,
I bought a fancy charm.
I thought you liked it but you called it cheap and at my feet it felt like:
"So sue me, it's up to me if i decide to be what i think is right. and don't bother me when i'm watching 'planet of the apes' on t.v."

That's right. that's how it should be. sha sha. sha doo.

"So sue me, it's up to me if i decide to be what i think is right. the sound, it found the ground and it hid it for free."

That's right. that's how it should be. sha sha. sha doo


4. DEBBIE DON'T WORRY DOLL


Darling come here i need to talk to you
My mama's ill so i'm going back to texas
We can only afford but one bus ticket
You know i might be gone for some time
Debbie don't worry doll cause you'll always be mine

Cry on my tummy and be understanding (understand me now)
You know things like this just don't allow planning
But let me tell you we're never apart
Cause you live in my heart
And i still get lonely
But i know we'll be fine (we'll be fine)
Cause you'll always be mine

I hate a-knowing i must be going
My mama's dying she's a-crying "help me"

I gotta go "no ben no, what if you find a new love in the heartland?"
Oh come on baby, i'm not that kind of man
And you'll always be mine
"i'm not believing you're a-leaving
Whom i'm holding when i get cold in december?
I love you what if you never do come back at all?"
Debbie don't worry doll, hey i love you and that's all

You know that we'll be fine (we'll be fine)
And you'll always be mine
You're the best girl of all time and you'll always be mine


5. HARRIET'S GOT A SONG


I don't stand a chance in this fucked-up world.
New school took romance and messed it up real bad.
But your brand new eyes shrink me to a size.
Make it hard to see my reality.

You say I'm blind.
I think you're wrong.
Harriet's got a song.
When we combine
Nothing goes wrong.
Harriet's got a song.

Scare myself sometimes. Lead me to the light.
Pet and let me know it'll be alright.
Watch me dive right into the shallow end.
"Won't you be my friend? Won't you be my neighbor?"

You say I'm blind.
I think you're wrong.
Harriet's got a song.
When we combine
Nothing goes wrong.
Harriet's got a song.

Do do do do...

Going off on me. Not only can I see,
memorized your scent, everywhere you went.
Join our Wiccan church. Blaze the Satchel Perch.
Everywhere you go - 100%.

You say I'm blind.
I think you're wrong.
Harriet's got a song.
When we collide
Nothing goes wrong.
Harriet's got a song...got a song


6. FALLING


Wind is cold alright back in Dallas. The neon light from the building lets
you know you're home.
You'd go way back when if you wanted to be my friend or you'd call me. I'd
understand, it's true.

I don't feel like I'm falling.
No, I don't feel like I'm falling.
No, I don't feel like I'm falling down.
Just say "hello" to the ground.

Ba ba ba ba ba ba

Wait there, I'll be right back. Down in Times Square it's a heart attack.
All the feeling makes you feel so new.
Trees fall and so do men. Even the walls start caving in and you feel like
there's no pretend for you.

BUt I don't feel like I'm falling.
No, I don't feel like I'm falling.
No, I don't feel like I'm falling down.
Just say "hello" to the ground.

We could talk if days weren't so fast,
and mistakes just leave it so unsure.
Wanna hold you like never before
'case we're falling and I love you more and more.

Do you feel like you're falling down?
Do you feel like you're falling down?
I don't feel like I'm falling-falling-falling down.

I don't feel like I'm falling.
No, I don't feel like I'm falling.
No, I don't feel like I'm falling down.
Just say "hello" to the ground.

Ba ba ba ba ba ba

Do you feel like you're falling down?
Do you feel like you're falling down?
I don't feel like I'm falling-falling-falling down.
Just say "hello" to the ground.

I don't feel like I'm falling.
No, I don't feel like I'm falling.
No, I don't feel like I'm falling down.
Just say "hello" to the ground
