Stolen Cars 02:03
Even stolen cars need fuel to go as fast as you want them to. But how about now? How about right now? What is left when you’ve had all that you can fit inside? And at the feast, you wonder if there’s possibly more than that which meets the eye. No I wouldn’t call it that, exactly. But if you’re playing loose with everything… No I wouldn’t call it that, precisely. But if you’re playing loose with that, are you playing loose with me? Even stolen cars need fuel to go as fast as you want them to.

Tetanus 03:35
Inside this pen, a mechanism’s broken which allows ink to escape over my dried skin. Will you escape over my dried body? – As in tetanus, breaking bones. It’s serpentine so it’s meant to be the oldest animal in the book, the oldest animal in the book. Inside this pen, a mechanism’s broken which allows an ache to escape over my dried skin. Will you escape over my dead body? – As in tetanus, breaking bones.

Sharks 02:47
Put the squeeze on a heart that’s stone. Yeah sharks circle summer bod, swimming in the deep. You can know what is there. You can know exactly what is there. Sharks circle summer bod swimming in the deep. Bikini the color of eggshells, or sunshine, or thin ice. Rude beach, the color of a spell, a hammer, a microscope. You put the squeeze on a heart that was stone. Sharks circle around. Swimming in the red, sharks circle. You put the squeeze on a heart that was stone. Sharks circle around. Swimming in the red, sharks circle.

Flowers 01:58
Flowers bloom in August, but I wouldn’t bother. Flowers bloom in August, but I wouldn’t bother. Would you? So much for sensible. I will give on nonsense. So much for the sense in life. I will give up on senses. Would you? Could you? What about the beach life I saw on the screen? Here are some things I do in the day: wake up, expand, and float away. Tell me about your could-have-beens or maybe just change the station. Would you? Could you?

I can’t afford to be right once a day. I can’t afford to be right, right now. What if all the answers were the same every day? What if all the answers were the same every day? What if all the answers were the same every day? What if all the answers were the same every day? What is left, that’s slim pickings, but we comb through it anyways. Get out more in the sunshine. After all, after this, what is left? I can’t afford to be right once a day. I can’t afford to be right, right now.

Concourse 03:03
A concourse, a conquest, a little thing. A promise, a shopping list, a flag fluttering. The dust is our skin, and dirt, and excrement. And maybe when we’re done, then we will all go digging through it. A breath spent on muttering when you could be screaming. A wet print, some evidence, a screen flickering. The dust is our skin, and dirt, and excrement. And maybe when we’re done, then we will all go digging through it. A thread lost so easily, we moved on. Some time passed, I made a mark to be sure of it. The dust is our skin, and dirt, and excrement. And maybe when we’re done, then we will all go digging through it.

Where the dogs are, where the dogs are, get hard like a skeleton in the sun, picked clean or soon to be. Mother of invention with a naked body squeezing all the juices out. Yeah I wouldn’t mind. Yeah it wouldn’t matter, if it was totally different. The psychological appeal of sweeping change. Mother of invention with a naked body squeezing all the juices out. Hurry up hero. Hurry up hero.

Prairie Dogs 04:06
Sit yourself down when you’re meant to be standing. Go on. Defend your wilderness. Prairie dog sticking your head out just trying to see what’s going on. Oh what a funny man - faking it all. Every iteration: “You’re such a doll!” Oh, spit. Spit on it. To see the shine. There’s never been a better time for getting by. Which way will we go this time? Doesn’t have reason or rhyme. Uh oh, we’ve been down this road before.
