Get-get-get inside your spaceship
You don't have a car, but you don't have to take this
You'll jet up out the city like your favorite authors
Look up at the stars, look up at the stars
You're on the fast track, living from a backpack
Leaving all the sad-sack suckers in the dust behind you
This is how you roll, permanent vacation
You put in your time, now you're out of patience

You could really go, no one's gonna stop you
You could really go, no one's gonna stop you
You could really go, but now you're getting caught up in it
Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute

Think about your friends, think about your other friends
Thinking about you when they can, probably wondering what happened to you
Can't return a call, skipping every breakfast
He tried to be a writer but instead he only fact-checks
Out of shape and uninspired
You force down salad and you just feel tired
And wake up every day and spend it from the get-go
Chewing on your thumb and staring out the window

You could really go, no one's gonna stop you
You could really go, no one's gonna stop you
You could really go if you could spare the money
But you're burning through your twenties for a misdirected, energetic

Asshole living in a castle
Waving ’round a brass pole with a little ball on top
Andbarking like a tree, debating every sick day
Storming through the office like Katrina on the fifth day
Sitting with your pockets full of fists
And you're staring at your wrists and your scissors and you're shaking so bad
You don't have a car, but you don't have to take this
So pack yourself a pair of socks and get inside a spaceship

Daydream and think of the nights
When they'll sing your name and they'll write it in lights
When the daydream ends like a kick in the chest
You can go out dancing and hope for the best
But then you get so bored you're half-asleep
The girls are jealous and the boys are cheap
A circus of the stars, a battle of the sexes
We're all in love with dying and we're doing it in taxes

You could really go
No one's gonna stop you

But then you get that feeling, like a train-track killing
Like an old-time villain in a silent movie
Crying like a kid, squealing like a sex tape
Shrieking like a Beatle fan and kicking like a sensei
Sitting with your pockets full of fists and you're staring at your wrists
And your shoulders, and they're aching so bad
Now they're cutting care, now they're talking pay cut
No one better dare ask you how your day was
Please don't make me act it out, it's hard enough to talk about it
I'll just rent my DVDs and watch my internet TV
I'll bide my time and pay my rent till something knocks me to my senses
When I've had enough of dying in the day shift
I'll pack myself a pair of socks and get inside a spaceship

2 SUMMERS AGO

A song about Freud.

Lyrics:
If I’m so smart and I’m so pretty,
Damn this town and damn this city;
You never give me anything that I want.
 
No one seems to really care.
They're just wholly unaware
Of all the blood and sweat I cry before dawn.
 
But you won’t understand
All the things that I am
Cause' I’m crazy in just too many ways.
 
But I get that little feeling
When my heart starts beating, lungs stop breathing,
All my fibers say to run away.

Count my little scars, I’ve got dozens down inside.
I come complete and invincible, behind my dirty imbecile.
All these things I’ve tried, boy: be cute, be dumb, be wise, be young.
So don’t tell me what to fear in the darkness in this atmosphere.

Love my mum and love my daddy,
Sure they messed me up but that is
Voices that they left inside of my head.
 
Darling, dearest, don’t you see?
I’m tough, I’m smart, I’m bourgeois,
And I’ll play out this lie until we’re all dead.
 
Am I good? Is all I could
Enough for you? 
 
I’m so scared
Of when and where
I’ll find the truth.

Awfully Apeelin'

Dirty Imbecile

A song about unrequited love.

Lyrics:
After you leave,  I’ll be so alright, it’s true.
It’s not like I’ve got something grand to say to you, like

“You’ll be the only ever one like the only ever ones who came before”.
How could I ever be so dumb to believe I’d be the one you would adore.
 
I wanna be with you. I wanna be with you.
I wanna be just barely hangin’ on. 
I wanna be with you all of the time. I wanna be touched by you every night
I wanna be dancing, dreaming, falling, and weeping for you all of my life

Now your name makes all the life inside me shake. 
I guess God wants us apart for heaven’s sake. But

How could you ever really know? If you never look
You don’t know what you’ll find
I’ve got an effervescent glow
If you’d show me all the dark parts of your mind.
 
I wanna be with you. I wanna be with you.
I wanna be just barely hangin’ on. 
I wanna be with you all of the time. I wanna be touched by you every night.
I wanna be dancing, dreaming, falling, and weeping for you all of my life

I wanna be just barely hanging on when you make me lose control.

Concentrate

So Alright, Cool, Whatever

A song about school.

Lyrics:
Shoot for the moon, dear.
Straight-placed, stay grounded.
Be unique, though you’re the same here
Speak cise’ but sounded.
 
You, you shouldn’t stare at the light that’s where you’re going to
Just keep moving and grooving to the sound of the beat
You’ll get there in time unless you stop your feet.
 
Do smile and dry those eyes. So, all the girls and bad boys made you cry?
Well you know, those were the best tears of your life (of your life).
Look cute in leather boots and if make-up brings you down just buy a noose
So at least you’ll keep your head held way up high.

Have some reserves kid,
Don’t waste potential. 
Try your best just like your father did
Success is mental.

Please, show us and tell, how your life’s not going straight to Hell
All those Jeepers and creepers wanna sit in your head
But fall out of line and you’ll be shot and dead.

Learn to smile as every good day goes on by.

So Alright, Cool, Whatever

The Happy Fits
