2024 Episode 168 - Not All Heroes Wear Capes, But Many Make Killer Music

It’s a real possibility
This might be the final opportunity to see you leave again
And as you go through security
I go through the Rolodex of memories we made in my head

I swore someone told me once that love is blind
Well there go my eyes

I've been on the fence and I've been tiptoeing around
Everything I felt but never had to say out loud
Should have said this all before and It’s all coming out
Don't go and forget me now


I have gained the ability
To bottle up and be a Storage Facility of things
I really want to share with you
Though I know I’m a liability
And I have filled your heart with such uncertainty but you're
The one thing I can't lose

I swore someone told me once that love is blind
Well there go my eyes

I've been on the fence and I've been tiptoeing around
Everything I felt but never had to say out loud
Should have said this all before and It’s all coming out
Don't go and forget me now

Don't go and forget me now
Don't go and forget me now

Storage Facility

Lyrics:

When I look out the window on Vienna
I curl round the sill to fill the frame
I can see a finger round a camera
I’d do anything to hear that shutter

From miles away
In a language I don’t speak
I rewrite your name
On the billboard below me
And I know that If
I look out the window on Vienna
Vienna knows the right words to say

I tried my best
Company is love to me and crickets fill the rest
Loving you is new to me I feel new in a sense
Shadows smell of nightshades
It covers me the right way
I’ve laid it out on the pavement

When I look out the window on Vienna
I can see the Third Man Museum sign
There's nobody on the street at midnight
But surely there’s a note that I could find

From miles away
In a language I don’t speak
I rewrite your name
On the billboard below me
And I know that If
I look out the window on Vienna
Vienna knows the right words to say

I tried my best
Company is love to me and the crickets fill the rest
Loving you is new to me I feel new in a sense
Shadows smell of nightshades
It covers me the right way
I’ve laid it out on the pavement

From miles away I write your name
Vienna knows what I’d say

Vienna

Lyrics:

I had it under control
I had it under control
Then it snowballed
Rolled and rolled and rolled
And I don’t have control anymore

Can’t say I didn’t know
Sometimes you get so alone
Always see the corners
Still I stub my toe
Can’t say I didn’t know

So don’t remind me
Don’t remind me
Of what I already know
Don’t remind me
Don’t remind me
Don’t remind me I know

Got my wheels stuck in a ditch
There’s a word for this
For what used to scratch the itch
Then one day it quits
Ain’t life a bitch

Cover of MJ Lenderman

Under Control

You say you drink coffee to enjoy it
But when you take so long to do it
Is it even enjoyment anymore or is it just routine?
I think that it’s crazy that you carry around that cold cup of coffee for hours
Hoping that one day it might just taste as good as when you got it
But guess what it never will
So maybe take a train to a new coffee shop
Release some music dirt bag
And try and make a lifestyle change
Because if not you’ll be stuck in the cycle
Wake up

Teachers on the megaphones sending all the kiddos home
I used to take the bus just like them
Talking on the telephone with my dad about student loans
Trips we used to take to Maryland

The door is just a step away right outside I used to play
It all could be a figment in my mind
The stairs are right beyond the door
But I can’t seem to get off this floor
What’s the use I might just stay inside

Ravioli ravioli I grew up on formuoli
I’ve been feeling square in my pants again
Adventure Time go grab your friends
And we’ll all take our medicine
If we were balls we’d all be high as them

The door is just a step away right outside I used to play
It all could be a figment in my mind
The stairs are right beyond the door
But I can’t seem to get off this floor
What’s the use I might just stay inside

Squarepants ft. Holden Miller

I’m waking up
I pour the coffee in the one mug that you love
The New York Times Connection’s truly
Quite a Doozy
So I give up

I found a bug
Who rents a flat under the strings I like to strum
Who sings along when I start playin’
Oh what’s bug sayin’
In that tiny microphone

How about
Love is real
Where does it go from here
Don’t let it disappear
Always remember
Something Changed
But if you turn the page
Love is an open range
Always forever

I rest my head
Blow out the candles flickering next to my bed
But I can’t satiate the feeling
Of easiness leaving
So I give up

Slow down my heart
So little keeping me from ripping it apart
Moon Men keep flipping me the bird
When it gets dark
Down here on Earth

But Moon Men aren’t real
I still can’t help but feel

Love is real
Where does it go from here
Don’t let it disappear
Always remember
Something Changed
But if you turn the page
Love is an open range
Always forever

I’m waking up
I pour the coffee in the one mug that you loved
I hold the home of that ol bug
Who said it's singing days were done

Always Forever

As the sun makes an exit I sing its goodbyes
I strum on my wings that my friends use to fly
I welcome the moon with the rise of the tides
And sing her a song that’s all mine

But when I start singing I hear a strange rhyme
The song of a cricket’s a hush in the night
They're all singing true in the light of the moon
There outside

Maybe there’s an angel pulling on the strings
Conducting the choir of every little thing
That makes them sing over me
This melody that everyone seems to know

Hey there, Cricket
Hi Frog
Is everything okay? It looks like something’s bugging you
Ha ha
No really what’s on your mind?
Well, I don’t know
Seems like no one really wants to listen to my song anymore
Everyone’s so caught up singing this whole Jam Jamboree out here
Jam, Jam jamboree?
Yeah Jam Jamboree
Oh, do you mean the song that starts in the wind?
Yeah that one
And blows through the trees
And I think I recall the buzzing of the bees
And the trickle in the stream hums a sweet melody
That you feel you’d might heard in a dream

It isn’t a secret that anybody keeps
It’s a song you could read in the trees
It’s the same simple song from the toad on a log
or a frog such as me
la da di
So why don’t we all sing along?

It's everyday and every night we join in the band and
Every star in every sky can all lend a hand
In the dance of the living to a song they're singing la di di

Maybe there’s an angel pulling on the strings
Or maybe it’s the nature of every little thing
That makes it sing la di di
Brought to you by crickets such as me
By crickets and company

Lyrics:

You ever look around the ride for the camera cue
Yeah we ride like a dream but we drop like a second shoe
Cause baby I don’t wanna fight I just want you
Burn the marque let the dream fade from our view yeah

It comes and it goes, comes and it goes
Comes and it goes, comes and it goes
Comes and it goes, comes and it goes again

I could be a sore lover I could treat you like a friend
If only for the summer we could tie loose ends
Call me optimistic call me anything you please
I’m begging you to let me sweep you off your feet

If you don’t bite I don’t know what to do
If you don’t like when there’s a person to lose
If you’re alright then just enjoy the view

It comes and it goes, comes and it goes
Comes and it goes, comes and it goes
Comes and it goes, comes and it goes again

You ever look around the ride for the camera cue
Yeah we ride like a dream but we drop like a second shoe
Cause baby I don’t wanna fight I just want you
Burn the marque let the dream fade from our view yeah

It comes and it goes, comes and it goes
Comes and it goes, comes and it goes
Comes and it goes, comes and it goes again
