Motel 6 06:17

A second wind blows on the galley slaves With oars in hand And with a glint of freedom the hulls were staved And the master was drown A sleeper wave washed our bondage away Before we reached land The drudgery of digging shallow graves is in the past now There’s thankless and checkless work to be had There are steeples and bridges spanning the gap And when they burn they burn hot and burn fast The drudgery of digging shallow graves is in the past now Oh there he goes my two faced lovers in the parking lot Take it off Baby, take it off and please don't stop I'd say "Hey!" And I have reached my galley years And yours have passed And you have breached your promise, Dear There were strings attached You are the type to imbibe and get distracted That’s how it goes, that’s just about how it happened In the parking lot of the Bellagio I’m gonna leave you here You can take the bus home And all the escapades On the wedding day That never happened Happened to be fate Oh there he goes my two faced lovers in the parking lot Take it off Baby, take it off and please don't stop I'd say: "Hey, I gotta get mine! You're mine!" Please don't let me go Please don't let me go home

Listening to the auspex delineate the prospect of recovery from fallacies and false beliefs Quoting books of consequence, trying hard to leave the past behind me I don’t know what’s real and I told you how I feel about a past that haunts me And the false prophet has arrived to auspicate the advent of space and time The false prophet has arrived and he won’t give me any space or time to make up my mind Guarded and insular High revere for the oracle that warned me Digression is much easier for the commonplace malingerer I can’t face what’s real and I told you how I feel about the chains that bind me And the false prophet has arrived to auspicate the advent of space and time The false prophet has arrived and he won’t give me any space or time And there were speeches of transparency Lacking in sincerity Your notion of permanency is not science it’s philosophy I don’t care what’s real and I already told you how I feel And that’s as real as it will get And the false prophet has arrived. He’s waiting for me outside.

"By the time we become friends I'll be gone" "Do you know what dependence is?" Commandeer my bleeding heart whereupon Your luck will treat you well In hourly motels Your lonely dry spells Have come to an end In a double bed And lets hope that no one calls for recon For the mines on the windowsill Buy a ticket and abscond to St. John No one will know you there No one will even care Who what why or where Cause its come to an end In a double bed Calling out the cavalry calling upon Every wish in this wishing well Your paradigms aren’t paragons they rely on You to sweat and swell The ghostly haploid cells That stained your lapel Will dry and ferment I’ll never see you again It's come to an end In a double bed And when you cum you Swear you withdrew Did you? Didn’t you?! Panic ensues Calling out the cavalry On the home front Calling out the cavalry Back me up Calling out the cavalry On the home front Calling out the cavalry Don't knock me up Calling out the cavalry The front you know so well Your hourly motels Lonely dry spells It's been a lonely dry spell

Petting Zoo 03:29
This place is like a petting zoo You used to see me; I used to see you The Oh Sees are leaving I remember seeing them with you You can leave literally But we’re symbolic beings And I can only sing a song for so long Before I fall into disarray Lost on a byway In the golden state I heard about your little tirade “Its a Police state!” And months of red tape String you along Exodus to the east bay Oh what a cliché I can only stay in this place for so long Before I fall into the bay Making a leap of faith Off the Golden Gate Management on 7th avenue Went and evicted you And now you’ve got to move Ed Lee sold you Take your bitcoins to the Mission The subdivisions Off in the distance Will be our new homes
