Lyrics:
Bedding Taylor Swift
Every night inside the Oculus Rift
After mister and the missus finish dinner and the dishes
And now the future's definition is so much higher than it was last year
It's like the images have all become real
And someone's living my life for me out in the mirror

No, can you believe how far we've come
In the New Age?
Freedom to have what you want
In the New Age we'll all be entertained
Rich or poor, the channels are all the same
You're a star now, baby, so dry your tears
You're just like them
Wake on up from the nightmare

Come on
Oh ho oh
Oh
Oh ho oh

No gods to rule us
No drugs to soothe us
No myths to prove stuff
No love to confuse us

Not bad for a race of demented monkeys
From a cave to a city to a permanent party

Come on
Oh ho oh
Oh
Oh ho oh

When the historians find us we'll be in our homes
Plugged into our hubs
Skin and bones
A frozen smile on every face
As the stories replay
This must have been a wonderful place

Total Entertainment Forever

LYRICS: 

I know a few ten-cent words I can break out to keep up with her
But You can take what I know about love and drown it in the sink 

I know my way ‘round a tune
Won’t be a single dry eye in the room
But You can take what I know about you and maybe fill a small balloon 

But I’m just dumb enough to try
To keep you in my life for a little while longer
And I’m insane enough to think
I’m going to get out with my skin and start my life again 

I’m no stranger to the female form 
Oh, I’ve been here a few times before 
But You could have me any time. 
Everything’s cool, I’m great, it’s fine 

But I’m just dumb enough to try
To keep you in my life for a little while longer
And I’m insane enough to think
I’m going to get out with my skin and start my life again

LYRICS:

Like a pervert on a crowded bus the glare of love bears down on us Like a carcass left out in the heat this love is bursting out of me 

Disappointing diamonds are the rarest of them all
And a love that lasts forever really can’t be that special
Sure we know our roles
And how it’s supposed to go
Does everybody have to be the greatest story ever told? 

Like an oil tanker tipped at sea this love’s contaminated me
Like a constant twitching in my eye this love of ours will never die 

Disappointing diamonds are the rarest of them all
And the love that lasts forever really can’t be that special
Sure we know our roles
How it’s supposed to go
Does everybody have to be the greatest story ever told?

Disappointing Diamonds Are the Rarest of Them All

LYRICS: 
One more wasted morning when I could be holding you to my side
Somebody stop this joyless joy ride
I’m feeling older than my 35 years 

One more cryptic message thinking that I might end it
Oh God, you must have woken up to me saying that it’s all too much
I’ll take it easy with the morbid stuff 

Oh, honey I’m worried about you
You’re too much to lose
You’re all that I have
And honey I’m worried about you
Put yourself in my shoes 
You’re all that I have, so please don’t die
Wherever you are tonight

All these pointless benders with reptilian strangers
Oh my God, you’re so naïve
You’ll leave this world in a drunken heap
Who’ll make the arrangements, baby them or me?

Honey, I’m worried about you
You’re too much to lose
You’re all that I have
And honey, I’m worried about you
Put yourself in my shoes 
You’re all that I have
You’re all that I have
You’re all that I have, so please don’t die
Wherever you are tonight

Please Don't Die

LYRICS: 

Sun is rising
Black is turning blue
Look out buddy, Noah’s calling, 
“Jesus man, what did you do?” 

Psychic terrorists
In the upper room
Left foot, right foot, that’s the ticket
You’ll be back on top real soon 

Whose bright idea was it to sharpen the knives? 
Just 20 minutes before the boat capsized
If you want an answer it’s anybody’s guess
I’m treading water as I bleed to death 

What’s your politics? What’s your religion? 
What’s your intake, your reason for living? 

In your compositions
At the start of every song
Find you waking in the morning
Always there to greet the dawn 

Trouble sleeping
My alarm goes off
So you want to hangout at the gallows? 
Those guys get an early start 

Whose bright idea was it to sharpen the knives? 
Just 20 minutes before the boat capsized
If you want an answer it’s anybody’s guess
I’m treading water as I bleed to death 

What’s your politics? What’s your religion? 
What’s your intake, your reason for living?

LYRICS:

Nothing surprises me much
And my hobbies include laughing in the dark
Do you wanna go to the farm? Do you wanna go to the park?
I’ll get you ice cream if you give me your card

Nothing impresses me much
I’ve got a great attitude and a map to the stars
I got your number from that sign in the lawn
I also want to vanquish evil but my mojo is gone 

(I want you)
C’mon, I bet you know most of my friends
They’re some real exclusive dudes from just around the bend
They’re playing demos. Oh, they’re wearing Dries
I can escort you down the runway I just joined the police

Just right now
So you wanna be a grifter like me?
Are you hearing impaired with your own URL?
I’m the second coming, I’m the last to know,
I didn’t get invited but I know where to go

LYRICS: 

It’s only been three weeks and a bag of speed from Jamie the PhD
She comes by the front desk to leave my transcript with her edits
‘Cause I don’t wanna leave the Palace
At least that’s what my true love calls it

Last night I wrote a poem
Man, I must’ve been in the poem zone

I’m in over my head

Maybe I’ll get a pet, learn how to take care of somebody else
Maybe I’ll name him Jeff
But I think it might defeat the purpose
Living on housekeeping and room service 
But I don’t wanna leave the Palace

Oh, let’s pay someone to move in here and fix this

Last night I texted your iPhone
And said “I think I’m ready to come home”

I’m in over my head
I’m way in over my head

The Palace

LYRICS: 
Another night on the straights
All bug-eyed and babbling
Out on the corner of 7th and A 

“I’m in the business of living”
Yeah, that’s something I’d say
All I need is a new friend
I’m only five blocks away

Speak to me
Won’t you speak, sweet angel?
Don’t you remember me?
I was God’s favorite customer 
Beware the man who has everything
Everything that he wants
You can spot him from a mile away in his gold chain and only one pair of socks

I’m out here testing the maxim
That all good things have to stop
The bar closes at five but the big man is just opening shop

Speak to me
(Won’t you speak to me?)
Won’t you speak, sweet angel?
Don’t you remember me?
(Don’t you remember me?)
I was God’s favorite customer

But now I’m in trouble
Speak to me
(Oh, speak to me)
Won’t you speak, sweet angel? I need some company
(I need some company)
I swear just one more night longer

LYRICS: 
What would it sound like if you were the songwriter
And you made your living off of me?
Would you detail your near constant consternation
With the way my very presence makes your muses up and flee?

Goodbye little songbird, I can leave
Goodbye my love
Is there anything else you need?

What would it sound like if you were the songwriter
And you did your living around me?
Would you undress me repeatedly in public
To show how very noble and naked you can be? 

Goodbye little songbird, now you’re free
Don’t forget I’m the only fan of yours who has the sense to ever leave you be
How could you do this to me? 

What would it sound like if you were the songwriter
And loving me was your unsung masterpiece?

LYRICS: 
People, we’re only people
And there’s not much anyone can do – really do – about that
But it hasn’t stopped us yet

People, we know so little about ourselves
But just enough to wanna be nearly anybody else
Now how does that add up?

Friends, all my friends
Oh I hope you’re somewhere smiling
Just know I think about you more kindly than you and I have ever been
And I’ll see you the next time ‘round the bend

People, what’s the deal? 
You’ve been hurt and I’ve been hurt
But what do we do now? 

People, we’re only people 
Ain’t a thing one person can ever change about that

Friends, all my friends
Oh I hope you’re somewhere smiling
Just know I think about you more kindly than you and I have ever been And I’ll see you the next time ‘round the bend

I think the end of it all may look like a lot like the beginning
We’re passed around from hand to hand screaming for no particular reason
The company gets pretty thin so we start to shed all our distinctions So, why not me?
Why not you?
Why not now?

We're Only People (And There's Not Much Anyone Can Do About That)
