Cars and cars and cheap oil
But you were serious, the hard rocks in the soil
Hail all the late night owls
And rock steady on the scaffold
Cousin can't talk to girls he's tongue tied
Took his stock Chevy to the Alpha Phi
The campus cops tried to take him downtown
They tried to take him down without making a sound
I believe in the soul
Cars and cars and peak oil
Thought you were serious, the tar sands in the soil
Hail all the late night owls
And rock steady on the scaffold 
Because it's like that the worldwide round (it's nothing)
The new precariat, the black kids on the ground
The finance, the ruthless power
The tiny new machinery of social debt hour to hour
His own ma said yeah the lights out (it's nothing)
It's nothing serious we got no guns around for my pretty aching boys
Stark naked graves, stark naked choice
Hands up you late night owsl (and rock it)
Rock steady on the scaffold in the sky
But your hands are down low
Stop making graves yeah here we go
Make believe in the soul... I believe in the soul, I believe in the soul
Hands up you late night owls (and rock it)
Hands up you late night owls (and rock it)
Hands up you late night owls (and rock it)
Rock steady on the scaffold in the sky

Strange Time to Love

Minnie Driver looking at the sun
It's a new day rising, had a lot of fun saving the burning Reichstag
Stepping in time, we saw the Weimar around until the days of '39
We saw the icepack slipping in the sea
We put a new tech fix on the ocean and the trees
We're on a street near Hollywood & Vine
We've got 3-foot tires, the oceans rise and
I float down Vine with my 3-foot tires
Most times, most of my rides come in 3-foot size
Come in! Come inside! I haven't even got it together enough to reach Minnie

Lenny Dykstra staring at the sky
It's a pop fly rising, got to make a slide to be with 
Minnie Driver sitting on the pine
We saw the Weimar around until the days of '39
Nicki Backstrom skating on the ice
We put a new tech fix on the ocean and the pines
We're on a street near Hollywood & Vine
Riding three feet high, traveling time, come on! 
Float down vine with my 3-foot tires, Minnie 

I'm a first-time caller
This is downtime for me
And it's downtime for my family
And my family's got creeds
If I saw you walking by me, I would think to run away
There's a credo that I go by
It says drink more lemonade

3-Foot Tires and Rising

Like a bullet train, I run through the lidocaine
We'll fall down
Lay that mine today
Citadel gotta come down over and over again
The white coats turn the sheets, snip the wire in your brain
And now you know the operation's complete
Is this just a wasted dream? All the ether that I suck?
Stop the operation now because I'm making this all up in my mind
Told you I don't ever want to see those white coats again
Return. Separation. Return. Separation.
Want to be cool? No no no. Want to be down? It's a little too late
Your citadel will fall down
I want to give you that taste over and over again
