i got pain of my own
it's a train moving slow
and it's taking me so far away
i got pictures of places i used to go
i got pictures of people i used to know
i got pictures of the way life used to be
i got pictures hanging on my wall
i got pictures of people i tried to call
i got pictures, they're everywhere to remind me
i got pictures taken in black and white
i got pictures of close friends who have died
i got pictures of the one you took from me
there's one thing i've learned from you
i make new friends, it's all i can do
it's a slow train

perfect

this is my apartment
it's a small apartment
it's called an efficiency
it has just one room
it only has one room
so it's perfect just for me
houses house more people
houses are for people
who live with their family
and families stick together
families stay together
i always thought that's how it would be
but i guess it's not
i guess it's not

what's with all this gloom and doom?
where'd you get this stupid attitude?
i think that you're on adderall
so focused on your funeral
not yet. cheer the fuck up, brett!
don't fret. be glad you're not dead yet!
there's some appeal to gloomy music
but won't depression make us all sick?
writing your own eulogy
don't you think you could leave that to me?

used to be
03:04
|
|||
|
we all used to be such good, good friends
we've all grown older and wiser i guess
our ships have all sailed from that shore
the more time passes, the distance is greater
just makes me miss what we had more
but it's never the same
no, it's never the same

though a multitude
around me
turn color and fall
i remain
perfectly green and solitary
forever

(one bedroom, two bedroom,
three bedroom, four bedroom)
hire a realtor, interest rates are like a meteor
a good realtor, best seat in town for good theater
it's always a good time to buy
it's always a good time to sell
it's always a good time to buy
it's always a good time
always a good time
but there's so many houses for sale!
why are there so many houses for sale?
i'll tell you why there's so many for sale:
because realtors have kids
and college is expensive
remind yourself now and then
that real estate is just a game
but you should know that it's way more fun
when it's not your money

thanks for hanging out it's been a wonderful day
can we talk for a sec? got something to say
you've been so encouraging you've been a true friend
you mean a lot to me i never want that to end
i like you. i really do! yeah i like you. i just don't like like you.
well, you're fun, intelligent, super sarcastic
you recycle paper products, glass bottles and plastic
you've got several qualities that i admire
i've got to be honest cause i ain't no liar
i know it's really lame
i'm sorry i don't feel the same
i like you. i really do! yeah i like you. i just don't like like you.
not in that way..

you are so beautiful, like a bird that doesn't sing
you are so beautiful, like a squirrel predicting spring
you are so beautiful, like a jellyfish's spine
you are so beautiful, automatic porcupine
(you're so beautiful)
you are so beautiful, like a meatloaf turning green
you are so beautiful, a piano trampoline
you are so beautiful, like a bullfighter in red
you are so beautiful, i meant every word i said

defender of lame things

rain is a good thing
rain is a great thing
when you're in the middle of the desert
i'm telling you, rain can make you sing
pain is a good thing
pain is a great thing
when before you couldn't feel at all
that's when pain is everything
take off those glasses you're looking through
they're all distorted, ain't showing it true
maybe those same things won't seem quite the same
maybe all those lame things ain't really that lame

adjective

|
nouns are bringing me down
and i feel so adjective
my pronouns are getting personal
and i need some advil and a laxative
once, a friend gave me a dollar
with three words to fit into a song
but i ain't feeling jubilant
and i sure don't have a trebuchet
and what does 'philately' mean anyway?
the places are ok
most things don't bother me
it's always been the persons
that seem to trouble me
nouns are bringing me down
i need some advil and a laxative
and my pronouns are getting personal
and i feel so adjective
yeah, i feel so adjective
