Utah nights of '94
we were barely man enough for Mormon lore
sneaking out past the temple locks
the silent lake is where we make the drop
can't stop me
the calm of the salt sea
can't stop me
who'd want to love me?
love's a perfect storm (I'm drowning in you)
I remember the way that you kissed
holding my hand in case you'd think to miss
brushing your hair across my salty lips
lets swim back home before we float or tip
can't stop me
the calm of the salt sea
can't stop me
who'd want to love me?
love's a perfect storm (I'm drowning in you)
don't wait - Track Name: License to Drive

I've got a license to drive
just teenage excuses and crystalline lies
I've got a reason to try
cause when we expire, we can't get much higher
Mercedes Lane, the curls I can't avoid
the pink dress looks better on the Caddy floor
save a sip for me, it's my night to dream
do you want me? want me?
I've got a license to drive
just teenage excuses and crystalline lies
I've got a reason to try
cause when we expire, we can't get much higher
the engines dead, the trunk becomes her bed
let's fix the dents and take the while again
Archie's glow, the last I'll ever know
less is more, Les is more
I've got a license to drive
just teenage excuses and crystalline lies
I've got a reason to try
cause when we expire, we can't get much higher
didn't even fail, didn't even fail
reverse rides, the coffee never spills
didn't even fail, didn't even fail
the White Golf, the girl, it's all too real
I've got a license to drive
just teenage excuses and crystalline lies
I've got a reason to try
cause when we expire, we can't get much higher - Track Name: Pluto

smoke rings it's a smooth attack
I guess we'll never make it back
stand up and come alone with me
the beat ticks, 1,2,3
staring out the window reasons aside
we're never gonna make it alive
speeds cold but these hands are warm
light speed will keep us hanging on
we're just two deep space lovers and this feels alright
zero gravity high in the cold sunlight
now the years, they're rolling on
moonlight fades into one
can't remember if the Earth survives
blinking lights in every single size
twinkle twinkle on all the stars
just make a wish and I won't be so far
sky's the limit, so close your eyes
space is dry, but you won't be tonight
we're just two deep space lovers and this feels alright
zero gravity high in the cold sunlight
zero gravity high - Track Name: Boogie Lights

They don’t even know you’re name
Anonymous blood and carnal gains
Playing hide and seek for days
Our love is buried in cocaine (sin pays)
Spell it out or swallow your pride (oh no)
Spell it out or swallow your pride (oh no)
Spell it out or say goodbye
Just look the camera in the eye
Faces on the corner
bodies on the screen
films can’t keep us younger
It feels so good (feels so good) to dream
Barely old enough to drive
You’re pulling the chord on these boogie lights
Spreading east past the 405
To the Valley, lust is life (it’s time)
Spell it out or swallow your pride (oh no)
Spell it out or swallow your pride (oh no)
Spell it out or say goodbye
Just look the camera in the eye
Faces on the corner
bodies on the screen
films can’t keep us younger
It feels so good (feels so good) to dream
you're gonna be a star - Track Name: Absolute Bearing

when I look in your window it seems like make believe
just an empty suit case, your car in a hole
you're free
the funeral couldn't change my mind
I know you're out there, I know you're out there
the police man says they never found a body
nobody
the lakes too deep, the hearts too weak
the newsman spewing the black from the bottle
the headlines bleed, the taglines cheap
the funeral couldn't change my mind
I know you're out there, I know you're out there - Track Name: Council Bluffs
-
the Silver Lake is emptied out
past the double lines that made you real
all the broken promises and the doted lights
that were born waiting on the deal
you're hustling the millionaires for the extra points inside the stars
with red hands pointing up, it's a lonely door you're behind
Johnny's not too far
it's you
when every song has a meaning
and you can't fake your love for me
(some never asked to survive)
going back to Omaha
spy the dirty vans, they're passing through
told me I should double down
but I'll fold my hands till I find you
it's you
when every song has a meaning
and you can't fake your love for me
(some never asked to survive)
who's the loser?
don't cross the border again
we never asked to survive - Track Name: Coral Gables
-
bills were made to burn
checks were made to take their turns
love is born on the dance floor looking at me
mirror balls can't hide the fact it's quarter to three
where do you want me?
all you'll ever know is what you buy tonight
rolling up the paper bonds
this high is mine
banks were made to fail
invest in easy love or just get lost in the bail
deposits on me
all you'll ever know is what you buy tonight
rolling up the paper bonds
this high is mine
I believe it keeps my heart from stopping - Track Name: Lisbon Teeth
-
fly away
across the pond where they get my songs
it's a holiday
who's to blame
if I take too much
I don't even need to know your name
borders crossed
Paris nights I chased away with Lisbon teeth
who'd have thought
the stamps that bind were made by western thinking teens
please won't your read my hips
mispronounce the chance
eastern time is all we know
(I won't read your lips)
(you don't steal my kiss)
Fabric calls
let's dance away the bass deflects but lingers on
it's hostel law
we're sneaking in and throwing love against the wall
push it off
to eastern girls
the ballerina china dolls
please won't your read my hips
mispronounce the chance
eastern time is all we know
(I won't read your lips)
(you don't steal my kiss) - Track Name: The Art of Progress
-
throw me out just like a foster on the porch
a hero behind the bar
I'm not insane like the doctors swore
scores were made to be shattered on the 8-bit screen
there's too much history
a California high life teen
because we're too young
to make this last forever
we're too strong
the art of progress
metal statues lining the sides of pixel road
where mothers dare to roll
the dice on a broken home
but it's too late now, I've gone and found the sea
you're selling pictures of me
good news it comes in threes
because we're too young
to make this last forever
we're too strong
the art of progress
our names, our names, inside these songs
even if our intentions come off wrong
our names, our names, inside these songs
we'll prove them wrong, we'll prove them wrong
we'll make this, we'll make this last forever
we'll prove them wrong - Track Name: Tourist Heart
-
"are you alone?"
that's how it started
saving half a shot to feel like it's worth it
amongst the chaos we'll grow
like a mushroom outside Tokyo
giants on the stage
ants on the scene
buying beauty to feel in-between
English girls with the tourist hearts
blurry photos won't finish what we started
did it translate the first time?
did I translate the first time? to you?
you're laying by the phone
we sang together
I just wanna hear your voice, even if we talk the weather
we're not gonna change our minds
feelings trapped inside, let's let them fall and die
did it translate the first time?
did I translate the first time?
it's a lonely way to live
"it's a lonely world"
