oh i know all the right words but i can’t
get them out of my mouth
we could be so happy if i could just
get over myself
we could be the lucky ones, all
gold tips, top shelf
but i can’t find the right words and you won’t
get over yourself
we can’t stand each other
teeth to neck, it’s time to dance
i’ll do ya one in
we can’t stand each other
but i love you
yes i do
do you think you’re lucky, baby?
well, i do too
hips to swing, and brains to think, and
looks to boot.
but it’s not the simple things that
make love true
you’re bleeding out, i’m pushing in,
like lovers do
we can’t stand each other
teeth to neck, it’s time to dance
i’ll do ya one in
we can’t stand each other
but i love you
yes i do
but i’m paralyzed
i’m paralyzed
i’m paralyzed
give me posession, baby
i need possession, baby
it’s true, i’m cold as ice
it’s true, i love you, but
you’re not mine
we can’t stand each other
teeth to neck, it’s time to dance
i’ll do ya one in
we can’t stand each other
but i love you
yes i do

“i never liked you anyway,”
that’s what she told me yesterday
swore to tell the truth and hope to die
cause she’ll stick a needle in my eye
“we never liked you anyway.”
that’s what the other kids all say
ring around the rosie, i won’t cry
cause she’ll stick a needle in my eye
is this how all the stories end?
we were so tight; we were best friends
from passing notes and skipping class
how could we let it end up like this?
every woman has story of her old best friend
swore to protect and keep her til the very end
then you got caught up playing
someone else’s game
do you even remember my name?

oh it’s not a good safe word
if you can’t remember it
and i can’t remember
what i’m getting out of this
do you ever feel
like you’ve been here before?
hanging from somebody’s rafters
thinking you’ve got something to prove?
and i’m not a sensitive sub
i’m just so bored
you think being a top’s an excuse
to be an asshole
and i swear
that i’ve been here before
lashed up to somebody’s bedposts
thinking, ‘won’t you get me out of here?’
get me out of here
get me out of here
get me out of here
don’t make me say it –
avocado
got to get control of this
what’s the word will make you quit
can’t stand another argument
avocado
of all the words inside my head
couldn’t pick one easier to say
i just want to get away
yeah it’s not a good safe word
if you keep forgetting it
but who am i kidding?
i don’t get too much out of this
do you ever feel
like you’ve sold yourself short?
you might be my paramour but
oh god won’t you get me out of here!
let me out of here
get me out of here
get me out of here
don’t make me say it –
avocado
got to get control of this
what’s the word will make you quit
can’t stand another argument
avocado
of all the words inside my head
couldn’t pick one easier to say
i just want to get away

no more chances
can’t stop laughing
that you thought i’d ever feel that way
you see me
but stare right through me
and, oh
i just wanted to know:
are you still an asshole?
cause the next time i see you
i’ll walk right through the door
no more chances
can’t stop laughing
that you thought i’d ever feel that way
you see me
but look right through me
and, oh
i just wanted to know:
are you still an asshole?
cause the next time i see you
i’ll walk right through the door
silver lights, civil sounds
shut your bright feelings out
i can’t see what you might need
or what should be in front of me, i
i need you to be a part of me
i need you to see the best in me
i need you to be a part of me
i need you to see the best
no more chances

Parliament Kids

if you’ve got trouble making friends
just take up a smoke break
you’re already broke anyway
and we’re all going to choke someday
it’s just luck of the drag
and a flick of your wrist
and no, i don’t really want to die like this
it’s not okay, you’re not going to be okay
but we don’t have the guts to quit
when you can write it off as just another bad habit
and through it all we’ll make the call
to just die another day
as if i choose my own way
oh parliament kids, parliament kids
you make me sick, all you parliament kids
but i’ve made a mistake --
did the match give me away?
what’s one more habit to break
when all our parents are alcoholics
at least we don’t lie to ourselves
the damage is done, and we all know it
fuck your droll PSA; we’ll do it anyway
you can’t say you know best; it’s your fault that we’re in this mess
i swear i’ll stop someday -- til then
light me up again
you know, it hardly makes sense
to go to yoga and then go bum one
eat a vegan burrito, and fill my lungs with tobacco
but you won’t legalize weed, acid or dmt
and i just need a release,
something to fight mortality
hey man, do you have a light?
behind your eyes?
and who would have the guts to quit
when you can write it off as just another bad habit?
and through it all we’ll make the call
to just die another day
as if i choose my own way

he wanted to tell her
everything he knew about her
he wanted to be her man
and everything you wanted
and now it’s time to realize
you’re better than that!
too late, heartbreak
i feel FINE!
isolation makes me want to cry
every time i, i feel alone
no motivation, makes me want to die
every time i, i feel alone
he wanted to tell her
remember september?
yeah, if you could see me now...
he was everything i wanted,
and now it’s time to realize
i’m better than that!
too late, heartbreak
i feel FINE!
isolation makes me want to cry
every time i, i feel alone
no motivation, makes me want to die
every time i, i feel alone
he wanted to tell her,
don’t forget about me!
yeah, i’ll tell her
don’t forget about me!
but you’re the type to realize
you’re better than that.
too late, heartbreak
i feel FINE!
