She must be out of her head
When she got out of her bed
She wrote a note that she left, undressed
She always wants something from me
A golden ring and a color TV
A mansion surrounded by trees, for free!
She always wants me to feel weird
I'm unwrapping what I have feared
She gave me waterski gear
Well, I tried to waterski on Lake Louise
She always wants something from me
A golden ring and a color TV
In return I just get water skis
Well, I tried to water-ski on Lake Louise

Found out where the CCTV is
When the tellers would start their day
But when I saw her, a dazzling bank employee
I had to cop out on a bank robbery
All the masked men kept the motor running
They take the money and go and laugh about it you know
They laugh about it
All the money in the world couldn't part me from my girl
All the money in the world couldn't part me from my girl
We laugh about it you know

Simplify your moves when you synchronize your feet
Simplify your moves, it's a camouflage
Simplify your tunes when you syncopate your beat
Simplify your tunes, it's a camouflage
All around the world we see
Warning signs, sold commercially
And they signify our fear of
Simplify your moves when you synchronize your feet
Simplify your moves, it's a camouflage
Simplify your tunes when you syncopate your beat
Simplify your tunes, it's a camouflage
All around the world we see
Morning comes to broken dreams
When they signify the change of
Simplify your moves when you synchronize your feet
Simplify your moves, it's a camouflage
Simplify your tunes when you syncopate your beat
Simplify your tunes, it's a camouflage
Simplify your moves!
Simplify your tunes when you want them to sing
Simplify your tunes, how you wanted to be, authentically
Simplify your moves when you synchronize your feet
Simplify your moves, it's a camouflage
Simplify your tunes when you syncopate your beat
Simplify your tunes, it's a camouflage

Skeeter and Genie
02:03

Skeeter, stone cold lover in a white restroom
I’ll take you to paradise
over the border and into the night
pierce the skin, tattoo ink
she hit the mother lode when she swept her broom
life flashes before your eyes
over the rainbow and into my arms
meet your djinn, your next of kin
Genie stepped of the ledge when you held out your hand, now you understand
the building collapsed on her head as she dove into the end,
her one and only friend, now you understand
Skeeter and Genie took a blow
all of us will know
all of us will know

Deep-sea documentary diver
I've been told he won't come back
Underwater creatures kept him from ascending the stairs
His wife asleep in the half empty bed
A five-part series shown back-to-back, dive in deeper
Deep-sea documentary diver
You were afraid of the water bed
Thought you'd drown at night in a dense forest of kelp
In the early morning you went upstairs
But screamed halfway that you got the bends, can you keep it?
Deep-sea documentary diver
Deepfake documentary diver

on day 21 of a 20 day course we really got bored
shooting at our target boards
we lured him into the living room and aimed at his back
only to miss by about one hundred feet
the next in line was an airborne guy and I wanted to stuck a hole in his parachute, but we half-assed our lives away
Gene likes to poo and wee a little too, he goes to his room and
gets his diaper full but she doesn’t like him around, he
stinks shooting his shit on the ground
there’s a potty, sit down!
lower your weapon and sit down!
expert marksmen hit the john as fast as they can
the AR-15 man is still wetting his bed
the expecting family man shoots a baby mobile drone in the air
expert marksmen, just pry the potty from their cold, dead hands

Blow Dryer

silk loungewear, she likes cashmere or a fire pit?
a spa-worthy robe, a preserved rose or a garden hose?
they all are coming home with a blow dryer (2x)
sure she’s hooked with his looks, he’s an animal
but he cleans and cooks, runs with jogging strollers too
they all are taking turns with the blow dryer (2x)
matching sweats, a pushpin map, wear-everywhere flats?
a handy phone case, a food serving tray or a mrs. mug?
they all are coming home with a blow dryer (2x)
sure she’s hooked with his looks, he’s an animal
but he cleans and cooks, runs with jogging strollers too
they all are having fun with the blow dryer (2x)
he says he can’t decide what to do with all this precious time
“Check out our sand hourglass selection for the very best…
handmade pieces 24 dollar each”
he says he can’t decide what to give her as a gift this time
a supersonic hair dryer will become the best friend for both you and your wife

two lovers unite on the slippery side
of a track that turns to his left
she asked him if he really wanted to
jeopardize the leopard’s trail
CH she’s a run of the mill, he’s a flower boy
they keep on running the lengths of sorrow and joy
tomorrow they’ll know
she lights a cigarette and stretches her legs
falls around the 1 second mark
she asked him if he really wanted to
vandalize her modern art CH
candy girls, don’t make me blue

Sing her a song, she’ll love it
Tell her I’m an idiot
For days and days I tried to get Suzanne out of my head
What did her father tell me when he lay on his death bed
"Son, I won’t give her away not until my dying day"
Sigmund told her: never free the animal
All the lonely boys will have to wait
Climb in there and be the human cannonball
The circus clowns will take the fire escape
Write her a poem, she’ll dig it
Tell her I’m a copycat
For days and days I wondered whether Jesus really bled
What did her mother tell me when hooked up to an IV line
You can plan ahead and pray but you could be dead in 39 days
Sigmund told her: never free the animal
All the lonely boys will have to wait
Climb in there and be the human cannonball
The circus clowns will take the fire escape
On the day I met Suzanne she held out her hands
Said: "you’ll never leave me now and if you do, tell me how?"
I saw the tan line from a ring, made me start to think
When I asked her ‘bout the gown it all came tumbling down
The thing is I saw you with a gun in your hand
And you hid the bullets in the drawer with your underwear
With a photo of a guy who looked just like me
I think you blew his head off Suzanne
I think you blew his head off Suzanne
I think you blew his head off Suzanne
And now that you’re calmed down you make me nervous
I think I’ll be miles away at sunrise, you will have to track me down

Gwendolina
have you seen her?
she left the lights on
it tears my heart out
can you see what’s left between us?
can you shove it in my back?
‘cause everytime we see Jesus walk the water
you avert your eyes and you just can’t be bothered
Gwendolina
have you seen her?
they found her daughter
in a dumpster
can you see what you have done to
Sheila, dressed in garbage bags?
‘cause everytime we see Jesus walk the water
you avert your eyes and you just can’t be bothered
Gwendolina
have you seen her?

the sun sets slowly in the summer of love
head out the window, the wind in my hair
the highway patrol love-tapping my tail
I wanna leave this town so I took the interstate
I am the cooler tonight
you are the bouncers alright
the sun sets slowly in the summer of love
take a dip in the ocean when the goin’ gets tough
I saw a valley girl buying drinks for everyone
she’s a scuba-dive teacher staring into the sun
I am the cooler tonight
you are the bouncers alright
if you hadn’t come back
I would have gone out
the bluest of birds
is singing me down
if I hadn’t gone out
I would have been there
a cruel love bird
set fire to your house
fire to your house

Meet Resuscitation Annie

Annie’s on the floor and she’s motionless
she’s waiting for a kiss on her cold, cold lips
Annie’s doing fine like most of the time
until they get inside and compress her chest
you are the world to me now my CPR muse
I saved you from these clowns, from the abuse
meet your long lost pal
Annie, you’re safe now

the sly men sell
tuna from Gondwanaland
they live in Caledonia
on the Internet of Things
the conmen tell
they’re from Gondwanaland
they live on social benefits
they pour another drink
here on the island
we’re shipping out the very next day
our sabre-toothed tigers
are set to be our biggest sale
when they eye a hurricane
the conmen drop their load
cans of fish are lying on the west coast
in staples
the temperature is rising on the west coast
in Naples

daddy scored a 3 on the Glasgow Coma Scale
what will happen to the bastard when he drops the soap in jail?
Johnny’s little eyes grew wide with utter fear
when mother took the axe and boy she smashed it in
her daughter shuts the door and says I know you
wanna lick the sun, suck the flames right into
Johnny sags his pants to show his underwear
a wannabe thug, still in his wonder years
CH darling did you cut your jugular?
all the other girls are so popular
a livestream crime scene shows the teen
user2 says “you meant a lot to me”
daddy scored some H on 7th Avenue
what will happen to him when he injects it too soon?
she hit the mother lode when she took the mattress out
he likes it on the floor and he likes it facing down
her mother’s cutting cards and says I know you
wanna lick the sun, suck the flames right into
you go! impress all
in the locker room, herbal! CH

she leaves and automatically smiles
when he breaks his promise of saying goodbye
two late night shifts in a row
they’re standing outside in the dark of the night while I’m waiting at the door
two late night shifts in a row
they’re standing outside in the dark of the night while I’m waiting at the door
all the pretty girls in a row
what do they want? I don’t know
all the pretty girls in a row

they’re standing outside in the dark of the night while I’m waiting at the door
