1.
Mr. Avery is being driven down the street He says, he exclaims, “you’ve made a murderer out of me” I have not touched my dripping blood those stains are 20 years old The lawyers they’re crooks, lawyers they’re thieves, the policemen, they are out to get me
2.
To whom it may concern I’m leaving this town To the place where the girls fall in love with the traffic lights They love each other very much they love each other very much they touch each other all the time They sing wedding songs They dance all night long OO(X4) She wraps her hands around a silver statue She apologizes for what the radio plays She takes what she needs then proceeds to leave She sings out of key She runs through me OO(X4)
3.
The sun sets, in the lion’s den Where blood and semen mark the walls It’s a horror show, it’s a pot of gold And it all sleeps in the snow I want flowers, I want drummer boys And little patches of corduroy Flick the switch, turn it on, find out the voice you hear is not a voice at all Sweet sister have you no mercy Oh brother have you no sanity Everything that I think lingers 'round my feet Every face that I see returns to the streets

I’m friends with a junkie named Silver He is good to me We live in a basement flat In the heart of a union made city Bruised by the summer months We gladly wasted our time Listening to the midnights Innocently getting high He woke up in the bathroom lost Coming down from Adderall and guilt Making fun of his face and my waist He kissed me and left for the day He brought home a girl, don’t know what for They sat on the ground watching their bodies form I tried to move but the air held me in place Tired and strained he left out the door, he said “All the pretty ones are meant To die horrifically And all the rest are destined To get married”

I’m going to Chicago To appease my changing sense of peace I’ll live in a factory I’ll talk with the trees My mattress has holes, it’s riddled with lilies I'm floating within myself, so it doesn't matter much To me (X2) If I go to Chicago I will surely be the last to leave With all these talks of corruption Who am I resist My mattress has holes, it’s riddled with lilies I'm floating within myself, so it doesn't matter much To me (X4)

Dean has moved to Rome maybe one day he'll move back to London And in-between panic attacks resulting from a car crash were his mother lost an arm He can help out his friends by giving them bills that let them escape for the weekend I went to Spain just to see if the statue of the martyr was still erect And in-between these jet lagged dreams there came a sense of clarity I was overwhelmed but now i’m doing fine the sounds of the city lights rang out in time

New Trip 04:08
Oo, ah Oh, oh, oo Begin looking in the mirror Begin looking in the mirror Are my calls meant to linger Is your shadow in the theater Oo, ah Oh, oh, oo Surrender your fears to my comfort I’ll lend my thoughts to your textures Stretch atop your slumber Inside my eyes, victims in the fixtures Oo, ah Oh, oh, oo

Mother will tuck you in Papa might help you But the newspapers will haunt you They will follow you to the door Brothers may read to you Cousins may visit you But the semi trucks will wake you Their roar will crack into your room
