Let's not build anything too smart. And we can pick up the pieces from the bottom say "we've got the scraps covered". I bet we'll say there's no problem but we'll be the first to run. So, welcome to new age factories where your child is born. But where's the oxygen? And where'd the water go? It wasn't us at all, but it's good to have confidence our comrades are advancing on the long to perdition that just got shorter all because of us. We didn't mean no harm. I bet we'll say there's no problem but we'll be the first to run.

Annie Oakley 02:04
Stupid eat your words until you're full and your stupid stomach bursts all over the floor. Walk a tightrope, run a tight ship, keep your tight lips closed. Annie Oakley's got nothing on today. When I grew up I was gonna be Annie Oakley. Oh, great addiction tight ship rolling towards some perfection. But Annie Oakley's got nothing on today.

If minds can wander from calling names over staggered hallways and over PA's that stand as defiance leapt into our bodies and, so our hearts beat as our blood flows like our legs shake when our teeth pull just like the first time we ever felt laughter. We were young and in our homes. But now we're quickly growing old, and we see how much young shoulders can hold for a mindset that says we're one day going to work because thats what we're for. If I was a pacifist I won't come to no rage. If I felt the loneliness then it looks like I lost all of my friends. And now we're quickly growing old, and we see how much young shoulders can hold for a mindset that says we're one day going to work because thats what we're for. So in keeping our teeth clenched and keeping a strong hold I can only hope that holding won't only bring us down.

Vehicles 02:29
They've got planes, trains, and they've got cars. They're set to leave by morning noon night or dusk. Because they have ambitions they have hopes and they have dreams. Because here there's nothing to see. Here there's nothing to see but I wish there was. So have fun worrying about yourself, and I'm a hypocrite but its just not myself. I'm already sick of it wear me out, just like it wears them out. Having nothing to see because there's nothing to see in this town; you can't fall down when there's someone there who's got your back and aimless ain't so aimless anymore with a good friend so I'll hang around just to keep my self esteem and I'll hang around for a few years for myself its not so bad. It doesn't matter that much. If I could take back one mistake, I would on the first day, easily. You can't fall down when there's someone there who's got your back and aimless ain't so aimless anymore with a good friend so I'll hang around jsut to keep my self esteem and I'll hang around for a few years for myself its not so bad.

Basement music, make art of newsstand verbatim. But loosely change them, so simon can say something slightly different and compulsive like traffic time signature changes, but all the lights are frozen yellow. Original words have been done before, this sampled verse is actually voice over copied slurs. Alright with given time I'll write nothing new but album's I liked, and I'll say what I mean but the words never seem to find their way out as mine and so, this is barely our song, I could have sworn that I've heard all of these root notes before. It's all in the delivery, I bet by now you could tell that I'm nervous to sing. It's all in the writing, and if the song is exciting I always need one more line. But honesty and clarity are exactly the same thing. All the words that I sung, over all the the chords I played that were coming from either the top of my head or the bottom of my lungs, they'll always and never be any original.

We lost another while securing a product, but don't worry, say that we have a reason for a motive for a people. The same old people that will never function and so their umbrella is getting wet around the edges and its dripping and so... I could learn about a million words but I'd say the same shit as day one. I know common people who know no common sense no more, and you can't go wash your hands clean of anything like this when they're cuffed. I'll start with just one line, but say lethargy, sympathy or exhaustion. And I used to have dreams of something, but then all my dreams had just stopped and never began again like it was I who decided to stop and just forgot it but still listened to all the same songs, where it was the chorus we were waiting for. I could learn about a million words but I'd say the same shit as day one. Can't fit horizons through the cracks they think our eyes are under their belts, son. They don't know us, and they won't well. We won't let them.
