Lyrics



1- Grace,too


he said I'm fabulously rich
C'mon just lets go
She kinda bit her lip
Geez, I don't know
But I can guarantee
There'll be no knock on the door
I'm a total pro that's what I'm here for
I come from downtown
Born ready for you
Armed with will and determination
and grace, too

The secret rules of engagement
Are hard to endorse
When the appearance of conflict
Meets the appearance of force
But I can guarantee
There'll be no knock on the door
I'm a total pro
that's what I'm here for
I come from downtown
Born ready for you
Armed with skill and it's frustration
and grace, too

Him? Here? Now? No!
Him? Here? Now? No!


2- Daredevil

I can't imagine how you feel and this is how you feel
you say your name like your no longer convinced
but now they're strapping you in and closing the lid
and they're dropping you in what's done you did
The bell's picking up speed there's water leaking in
that ol' equilibrium just starts to spin and spin
Do you like to be judged or liked
Do you like it inside a barrel
plunging over the falls
Curious and grim we wrestle at the rim
we wonder all about him and the point of it all
I'll be short and brief
and to the point
the fighting has resumed
In that tone of voice
the plague is exhumed
He said what I'm going through
is essentially all true
made no less amazing
by the fact that it's see-through
You like to be judged or liked
And you like it inside a barrel
plunging over the falls
Strong and green and dim it wrestled him like nuthin
out out out
and into the thrill of em all
And the real wonder of the world is that we don't jump too

3- Greasy jungle

Greasy jungle metropolis noir
Easy tangles the easiest so far
Ah
I drove down your road
To hazeldean where i tasted
Your funeral home’s sandwiches and coffee
I saw your hands melt into one another
I saw you grieve and grow
Care a lot about one another
I stood at your sink
And i felt your warm water
I washed your dishes
And i looked out your kitchen window where i
Saw a soulful gymnast
Melt in the air and shudder
Just above the snow
Making moves that just weren’t there
Ah
Velvet callow with wet hands
I turned out the lights and
Breathing shallow hesitated
Then went upstairs where
I picked up your housecoat
Dried my hands and
Touched your hair
And just then you awoke
You could never really barely care
Ah
Greasy jungle metropolis noir
