Pilin' Up 04:03
Instant reincarnation no need to wait A million little niches that won't communicate It starts to take a lot of work to evade the state Putting up with everything for as long as it takes You don't get it Shit keeps pilin' up Don't forget it We stay dangerous There was a time there was a time when time could not be spent And there's a hole there's a hole you've been existing in And there's a point there's a point at which all this begins And there's a hole there's a hole you've been existing in

Mirrors conceal everything Nimble and spry guillotine You've got your head in the breeze Vanity of vanities I'll tell you anything you want to hear I'll tell you anything you want to hear I've got my eye set on you Trust above all your guru Life consumes life, what can you do? I'll give you something to live through I'll tell you anything you want to hear I'll tell you anything you want to hear

Big Shot 04:15
History of narcissism Overwork and egoism Push on Turn off Drill down Stay lost Sign your name Dotted line Don’t waste my time son, abject creep slime Well you’re a big shot, mister But not for long Thought you could fool your sister But you were wrong Am I sensing hesitation Rousing in a daydream nation? Tune in Zone out Pretense Fear doubt Hands up Stay calm Protect your wealth, patrol and firebomb Well you’re a big shot, mister But not for long Thought you could fool your sister But you were wrong

Mary Do it over Pockets Full of clover Saw you in your well-appointed domicile Speaking so correctly with a crooked smile You know how it's going down Time to turn this winning personality around Change horses They've got the gun on you Strange courses We'll do what we always do Lady Why so lazy? These days Pass so hazy What were you expecting when I went away? You can play the martyr if you wanna play I'll call when it suits me fine Drink up if you're so inclined Change horses They've got the gun on you Strange courses We'll do what we always do

Unbounded on the ocean you're on Extended to the limits of vision Dark Light Dark Light Shine bright Dark light You've got to eat the dream or wake from it Run rabbit run or you are gonna get You've got to eat the dream or wake from it Run rabbit run or you are gonna get Ambition only gets you so far Divided from the purpose given Dark Light Dark Light Shine bright Dark light You've got to eat the dream or wake from it Run rabbit run or you are gonna get You've got to eat the dream or wake from it Run rabbit run or you are gonna get Caught

Outta Sight 03:34
Pay your rent in gratitude Exposure is key, my man Champion of boyish charm Sleepin' in a garbage can Catch me on my good side It's going on the reel this time Imbued with meaning Serious seeming Distraught upset again Somebody lost a button Catch him on his good side He's got the top laid back Spaced out Rattled Shook up So uptight Diggin' tomorrow You know we blow all night So far so far so far so far so far so far outta sight What's with her new girlfriend? You know she don't share drugs? Last spotted on the West side Chompin' at the Hula Hut Burlesque daydream Shit got kinda rough Caught her on her good side They say that girl's built tough Unzipped Upset Messed up So uptight Diggin' tomorrow You know we blow all night So far so far so far so far so far so far outta sight Spaced out Rattled Shook up So uptight Diggin' tomorrow You know we blow all night So far so far so far so far so far so far outta sight

Warlock 03:52
Ambushed on the dusty plain Murder in the pasta aisle You never thought you'd have the guts But this is what you bought it for Giving in to paranoia In no uncertain terms But this is what you bought it for This is what you bought it for Tell yourself you didn't want to Tell yourself you didn't try Tell yourself you didn't want to Tell yourself he had to die Death looms You wait Death looms You wait Who made you the Sunbeam sheriff? Where's your Ding Dong deputy? Well here's another leap of logic Moralized depravity Tell yourself you didn't want to Tell yourself you didn't try Tell yourself you didn't want to Tell yourself he had to die Death looms You wait Death looms You wait

Doin' acid lights at the Roky show tonight Eatin' honeyslides until you're blind Once I thought the world was mine all mine Always ready Godhead got to stayed primed He's long gone A real searcher He's long gone A real searcher Restless in pursuit of the divine Careful with intention and desire Once I thought the world was mine all mine All accomplishments will lose their shine He's long gone A real searcher He's long gone A real searcher He's long gone A real searcher He's long gone A real searcher He's long gone A real searcher He's long Gone

Well I'm an ordinary guy I like to go for long walks And when I'm a good boy you can rub my belly I've got tumors up and down my spine Plumber's crack Standing up Fancy myself high minded Time flies when you're the pilot And I'm out looking for love Not unlikeable, just unlovable A trust fund cowboy "I got the last laugh on you" I lanvigate down the street I care I bought a fair trade toilet seat I used to think that I should suffer I thought you should suffer too Now I'm out looking for love
