Don't Call Me Daddy-O
03:02
|

Can’t find Grand Boulevard
Or even Woodward Ave
I’ve no clue where we’re at
Don’t call me Salazar
You and your sideways friends
Claire, Grace and Benjamin
Sure next time you can drive
While I play Country Tune
Make eyes at other dudes
Don’t be mad I made a scene
I’m sad so please feel bad for me
Don’t be mad I made a scene
I’m sad come on feel bad for me
In search of cigarettes
I'm dying for a smoke
Lost among the scarves and coats
From off the patio
I catch an awkward hush
And wonder why you’re flush
Don’t call me daddy-o
You and your cyborg friends
Don’t know i’m listening in
Don’t be mad I made a scene
I’m sad so please feel bad for me
Don’t be mad I made a scene
I’m sad come on feel bad for me
Don’t be mad I made a scene
When i’m the one who’s suffering
Don’t be mad I made a scene
I’m sad so please feel bad for me
Don’t be mad I made a scene
I’m sad come on feel bad for me

Wake up emma you've been sleepin' past the morning bell
Ain't nothing gained from goin' under in the wishing well
Did some laundry, left it folded right outside your door
An' you missed breakfast. I wish you'd consider eating more
You spent a week talkin' to no one but your therapist
And in the meantime word got out all across campus
Skin is sallow, looks like body bags under your eyes
Hell in a heartbeat i'd take half dead over not alive
And if you're not sure yet who you should save
Just don't get too comfortable in the grave
Not feelin' better, feelin' less which means less feelin' bad
That'll happen when you take all the pills you can grab.
Who could imagine? who'da thought he'd act like such a bro?
An' through the wall I hear you singin' with the radio
Walked in on you tryin' on my little brother's clothes
But i kept it quiet, promise i'm the only one who knows
I know that look, i know it's hard to tell who to believe
But sleep assured, each word comes from a heart of sympathy
And if you still don't know what you should say
Just don't get too comfortable in the grave
Dance dance with miserable abandon
Cut loose skin cold with disenchantment
Shake shake for romances remanded
And laugh hard like you're the one who planned it

The
Jig is up
Buttercup
Should've known better
Than to trust
In someone
So well-versed
In the
Hit-and-run
Hit-and-run
Hit-and-run
Hit-and-run
Hit-and-run
Hit-and-run
Pump it up
Pump it up
Let's drive dangerously
I sit back.
Since the crash
I am so nervy
On the curves
On the curves
On the curves
On the curves
On the curves
On the curves
Stitch 'em up
High school punks
Got it in for marie
Broke some ribs
Loss some blood
Put their jeep in a tree
Shoulda swerved
Shoulda swerved
Shoulda swerved
Shoulda swerved
Shoulda swerved
Shoulda swerved

I ain’t sentimental
Mostly I float on
Keep on the go
New crowd, new job
New heart, new throb
Somewhere in the sunbelt
The midwest takes a stab
With no place like home
Je change la scène
Tout reste le même
I'll tell you what love is
A fall into a well
So stare at the sky
Each wish a stone
At long last alone
Goddam Santa Barbara
I know I'm not that young
I been where I've been
All stars no sun
California
Lily’s gettin’ married
The guy I never knew
It's not that I mind
I was right, she was wrong
Take care, so long

STRICTLY MODERN

Rollin' up to the Pig
I got my crate of records
So you know i'm good to spin
Leroy let's me in
Arthur has just set up
I'm using his equipment because
Mine is mostly junk
He gives me a thug hug
The crowd's pretty thin at first
Mostly dudes and Asians
But you know we've made good with worse
And it's only the first verse
I queue up "Date with the Rain"
Plug in Arthur's headphones and then
Watch that label spin
As people are comin' in
So if you want to be my full time girl you better get in line
What have you got in store?
Are you lookin' for a boy who might just
Take you home tonight?
Is that what you are like?
It's not what i had in mind
I'm lookin' for a good time
But not that kind
Let's dance maybe once or twice
And then call it a night
'Cause i don't think that you're my time
Though you really are rather nice
But if you want to be my full time girl you better get in line

Lobotomy

I see the cop's lights flash on from behind me
Die Polizei get out and ask me to parley
Somethin' 'bout graffiti goin' up in the alley
Another car pulls up, like they got a reason to rally
Scarf over my face like a terrorist surgeon
Mos Def wannabe high school virgin
I only do it when my nose is cold
I don't even know where the can s are sold
They wanna know just how I came to be
In Germany
I say '**** the police'
They disagree
Vehemently
One of them asks me if that's my official statement
I start to skate away but there's a crack in the pavement
Leave the board behind and make a run for the subway
Hear shouts at my back and know that it's gonna get ugly.
Slidin' down the rail just as the train pulls to the platform
I want to swipe my pass but figure that would be in bad form
I pop my legs over the turnstile
And turn back to give them a curt smile
I see they're strollin' down so casually
Inexplicably
Until I turn to see
What's ahead of me
More police
Bravado finally fails and I sink into submission
Putting my head down and assuming the position.
Walked back up the stairs to a cruiser on a side street
Surprised the board is waiting when I climb into the backseat
I ask what's gonna happen when we get to the station
They say that of course there will be an interrogation
I say I don't know nothing, that I'm innocent, a patsy
That they got no right to hold me, this bunch of filthy Nazis
You can't just put me on the green mile
I've got the right to have a fair trial
They say despite my eccentricity
No one's gonna kill me
It's just some fever dream
So please act reasonably
They say for all my claimed morality
I've no decency
In reach of me
No decency
I guess that all the world outside of me
Is entirely
Outside of me
So lobotomy

Saturday
My alarm goes off and I think
"What did I set that for?"
I should sleep
I got nowhere to be, but last night
I went to bed too early
I get up
Search for something to read, I find
The Treasure of Red Rackham
It's weird how plainly racist Hergé is, no one minds
He draws so good who gives a damn?
I've got my books and I've got my guitar
And that reminds me
Georgie
You are far
From my side
Georgie
You are far
From my side

Abe's Song

Some things go over my head
I neglect the bold gestures
Some have called me a bore and a cyborg
I’d say straightforward
I keep an even keel
Take no side in a quarrel
But I get lost in my thoughts and put off
Making decisions
I’m not a man of God
I don’t have much to believe in
But as a man of my word
I will make you a promise
Whatever’s next for us
I will face it. I am ready.
We're still young
Let's be real and get old
I’m glad life turned out this way
I can’t imagine any other
Whoever that was living my other lives
He was a sucker
I’m sure so much was the same
Work and traffic and supper
But he never laughed at the kitchen sink with you
Doing the dishes
I’m not a man of God
I don’t have much I believe in
But as a man of my word
I will make you a promise
Whatever’s next for us
I will face it. I am ready
Life’s too short to stay young
Let’s get old
I’m not a man of God
I don’t have much to believe in
But I’m a man of my word
So I will make you a promise
Whatever’s next for us
I will face it. I am ready
We’re still young. Life’s so short.
Let’s get old

Never thought much 'bout love love love
I was always goin' girls girls girls
But now I've had all my fun fun fun
I've been thinkin' 'bout boys boys boys
Always thought I'd get some some some
Never wanted no one one one
Just to be where I was was was
Just to prove I was young young young
Never thought much 'bout love love love
I was always goin' girls girls girls
But on the tip of my tongue tongue tongue
I was wonderin' 'bout boys boys boys
