Larry's Way 04:42
My friend Larry- not one to talk He couldn't think of ideas but he could take stock He goes to a meeting realizes that he's just followed the flock Has his first idea, skips town, goes out without a second thought Larry's Way Two weeks later, Larrys around Although lately he's been skipping from town to town Ask larry what he wants, he says love- Something to make me forget all about the stars, and heaven above Larry's Way Familiar forces A million sources Lucky Larry got his wish But even with his lover he's trying to think of bigger fish One day Larrys at my door He says I got what I want and I feel like my life has ran it's course Larry's Way

Mountaintops 05:19
Hard men were sold down the river Styx For cold bones of women they walked with Another rebel reveled in the dark Stole self from tomb, looked back towards doom My friends were sold down the river Styx On the river, on the river I walked With another rebel, another rebel of the flesh and blood The word came out not boy or girl I'm just an infamous spy of the other kind I wonder what happens on the inside Were just a couple of guys Take turn off each others rides I speculate of worlds behind- My letter for years remains covered in dust to Men and woman of the world Take hold of my girls I've got so many fucking girls They've all got brown hair, light eyes, a big smile, real cheeks They look so good with their pants and accessories. I walked out to say you're next to me And if I was a golden boy then I'd be just another toy For the one who's gone across the coast and not an ocean that I can boast I watched the videos; I've watched the tapes But still I cant play, play, play the game I looked at you, you looked at me too We both thought that maybe it would work out in the end I looked at you, I looked at me too I'm gone, I'm gone I walk out the door They call his eyes a number I call this a chance to fumble As skins touch artificially In the mind I see just sheets A mind can only follow and I'm not in control So I send regards, goodbye Do you need more to know? When I walked out of the cave I had 12 million followers They followed me, followed me I didnt watch and they didnt respond, so I turned a cheek and sighed They didnt look on, no one looks on Expectations demise, but there were real tears in their eyes Real, real tears in their eyes, I swear Through the glass, their shape stayed the same A pose frozen and it was beautiful even if it wasnt real No shadows go if theres no light You find the figures are fake You need some air I know, I know Walking out still not here So its a long walk, its true Rickety course Its a walk out from your house Destruction of the home Could it be what I perceive? I burned down Still wont stand down Still wont stand down Stand down

I haven't read the elements of style But of course I heard about the war The raging of the storm, the perpetual darkness I remember the promises whispered in your ear They shipped you away to that damn island Lined up the queue but not your height You read those sad, realist novels The fashion of despair; the wicked youth Magnolia's fine seven feet in the ground Stick up your scared ostrich head You can live your life with a full fucking breath With out that smoke and melancholy Did they get you Get you Get you With that sulk? Did they get you Get you Get you With that sulk? So friends, is this what keeps us in bondage? This inability to throw away these robes in the dumps? We've only tasted Yet to achieve Stand there like an invitation Stand there like your invitation

I got an ass like madonna Boy, I really make you wanna Yeah that means I'm british, I'm old But I'm not too sold and your dead But that's just another thought in my head To express these words that you couldn't speak I got an ass like madonna Boy, I really make you wanna Got eyes made of glass Shattered ceilings, yeah

All the sides of the wing- They didn't decide that I'd be here I was born on top, baby I was born on top, baby I've been here for years You didn't have the vision to see me here But I'm rich-white, little boy I got friends, yeah, that I play with now I'm not the one you want (When pilots come home) To see those faces turn to stone (When pilots come home) To come home to that (When pilots come home) If you were on the bed, I wanna come home If I wanna come home- stop (When pilots come home)

It’s like 11 O’Clock right now Ain't even a party happening, no And that’s why we go to the strip club It’s the only place I know, it's the only place I know You take it to me It was a new me The only place I want You take it to me It was a new me Karaoke night at my mom’s impala All right, all right And then we pass All the way we go And we go home then And then we all pass to the way it feels And I want to rape a duck
