I see you hanging out at all of the shows Looking sassy in your leopard print bathrobe While everyone’s finger-fucking their phones Talking ‘bout this band they discovered And then there’s you, a normal dude Who trades his 9 to 5 for boots And studs and chains and leather shoes They say you’re strange Cuz you know it, you know it This scene is a zoo When you’ve got it, don’t blow it Whatever you do The ticket’s hot, but the music is not But I am out and already all dressed up So let’s find something that will turn this night around Because it’s me, I’m such a creep I found something for you on Etsy I think that you should take your leggings off So we can play kitty We can play kitty Next thing I know, you’ve run out of there You got a cab with the girl with the rainbow hair Don’t be deceived by this tail that I wear It’s a leopard print butt plug And when I see you in the light In a polo shirt, it isn’t right I think we’d have much better luck If you whipped out your leopard print butt plug Your leopard print butt plug Cuz you know it, you know it This scene is a zoo When you’ve got it, don’t blow it Whatever you do Well I know it, I know it This scene is a zoo When I’ve got it, I’ll blow it Whatever I do With you

Girl Crush 03:12
She’s got the pretty little city looking at their phones Their pants constrict when they think they’re alone And now she’s done away with words, she’s got a way with nerds And she could have her pick of them all But they don’t read her missives They just see a submissive I know there’s something to her The boys all wanna do her But I got something they don’t Yeah, I got something they don’t They don’t Girl crush, girl crush, no homo I really don’t know what she’s trying to prove She worked her magic, ended up with a poop And now she’s texting me up, claiming that she’s got a stalker What’d you expect? You fucked him. But I can’t be a chauffer I just wanna know her He can get her drinks, get her on the list He can get attached, but I can’t But I got something he don’t Yeah, I got something he don’t He don’t Girl crush, girl crush, no homo Your mother said that you should get a man who’ll buy you pearls Your mother didn’t know that you were into other girls Your mother said that you should wed a man who’ll pay your college loans Oh, it’s funny just how little that your mother knows Girl crush, girl crush, no homo I got a crush on you…
3.
You said you understand Why it had to end But I don’t really think that you do The guy that you adore Already spoken for And he’s not gonna leave her for you And it’s not a question of respect at all Cuz when your heart is closed, there’s no fucking way you’ll fall Never thought that I could hate someone I don’t know You left me feeling empty What a sad waste of your 20’s What a sad waste of your 20’s Good luck with your 30’s Maybe I built it up Inside of my head And in time you could get over him But then I see your eyes I see the light in your mind And I know I can’t compete with that And it’s not a question of affection now Cuz I know I’ll never get to you anyhow I can’t turn into someone you already love You left me feeling empty What a sad waste of your 20’s What a sad waste of your 20’s Good luck with your 30’s

My Mission 03:36
On a Monday night, after work Gonna fuck you like it’s my mission on Earth Gonna fuck you like it’s my mission on Earth On a Tuesday night, after dark Come to my office, cuz we have got unfinished business Yeah, I’m gonna fuck you On a Wednesday night, after band practice Gonna play you like my favorite guitar Gonna play you like my favorite guitar On a Thursday night, with the stars outside I’ll put them right in your eyes Yeah, I’m gonna fuck you

I’ve been eating Velveeta my entire life Baby, you were like French brie Well it changed some things it shouldn’t have changed You made me really like expensive cheese But you can’t always get everything you want Like the cheese in someone else’s fridge It’s a metaphor, you fuckin whore I just hope you’re happy with that bitch When life gives you moldy cheese, throw it in the trash You gotta get yourself back up and kick some ass Well I did some things I shouldn’t have done Threw away some special friends for you I don’t feel bad, it was kinda fun It was something that I had to do When life gives you moldy cheese, throw it in the trash You gotta get yourself back up and kick some ass When life gives you moldy cheese and it isn’t fair Don’t get yourself worked up, there’s nothing there Nothing there

Burrito Baby 03:01
Allston has fewer rats when she’s around Jamaica Plain got twice as gay as it’s allowed I’m living pages out of someone else’s book She held my hand, and that was all it took Burrito, burrito, burrito baby I wanna hold her like tortillas hold their meat I wanna be the salsa to her rice and beans When we’re together, we can do most anything She’s the only love song that I wanna sing Burrito, burrito, burrito baby

Did you survive the winter in style Or did your heart grow colder still? Did you find another girl to bring you down for a while Or fuck her up like you always do? Now my anxiety is gone And I can live like nothing’s wrong I just wish someone would love me like you did This is how it always ends Splitting our custody of friends Running into you at shows Double fisting whiskey coke Now my anxiety is gone And I can live like nothing’s wrong I just wish someone would love me like you did Did you write some maudlin songs And post them on your Bandcamp page? With the vocals almost off Cuz you were always so afraid To play them for an audience Lights above and center stage With a band to back you up Or even in the bedroom with just me And I can sleep now that you’re gone Play my guitar and drown you out Can’t say I ever learned your songs You never sang them loud enough Now my anxiety is gone And I can live like nothing’s wrong I just wish someone would love me like you did I wish someone would say they always will

Ex Husband 04:04
You’re going back to the suburbs You’re cleaning up his house You’re moving back this summer It’s gonna be your home Don’t know what’s best for you Can’t tell you what to do Please don’t bang your stupid ex-husband Don’t bang your stupid ex-husband Don’t bang your stupid ex-husband Are you scared to be alone forever? We’ve all been there before Don’t know what’s best for you Can’t tell you what to do Please don’t bang your stupid ex-husband Don’t bang your stupid ex-husband Don’t bang your stupid ex-husband Please don’t bang your stupid ex-husband Please don’t bang your stupid ex-husband

I'm really bad at being gay And I'm really bad at being straight They said, "hurry up and make up your mind"  They call me a player, cuz I bat for both sides He said, "you're a great girl, but most straight girls don't cut their hair and wear men's clothes" Well, in case it wasn't obvious It's time you know that I like both You say switch hitter like it's a sin But who cares how you score if you know how to win? You say switch hitter like it's a sin But who cares how you score if you always get it in? Bring it in, home run, everybody, everyone I can get by with a bat or a glove Pitch or receive, oh you have to believe that I've got all capacities for love She said, "I'm a gold star lesbian And I don't date women who have been with men" Well, I'm a gold star thespian And I'll be exiting to stage left You say switch hitter like it's a sin But who cares how you score if you know how to win? You say switch hitter like it's a sin But who cares how you score if you always get it in? They tell that I'm just confused And I'll figure out who I want to screw They tell me that it's just a phase  And I should learn the rules of the game I'm an equal opportunist, as long as you're good in bed And if you're not down with that, then I'll go down on someone else instead But if you like who I am We can hit a grand slam You say switch hitter like it's a sin But who cares how you score if you know how to win? You say switch hitter like it's a sin But who cares how you score if you always get it in?

Terrible C 04:46
20 months, a terrible sea Paired hearts pumping mercury Deadly sails wrapping me Shifting, leaking, rolling, creaking The rotting flesh of victims past The stench below You’ll never get away from the sound of your own poisoned song Barrels of fear and poisoned lies Appear up high, waiting to crush me Rotten wood and sagging lines Desperation is her only guiding light The rotting flesh of fears past The stench below You’ll never get away from the sound of the damage inside you I thought it was treasure, of treacherous pleasures I was marooned on a dry deserted knife Each weary step led me down A blackened plank, until I drowned The rotting flesh of victims past The stench below You’ll never get away, you’ll never get away The rotting flesh of fears past The stench below You’ll never get away, you’ll never get away And the echo of your wrongs will haunt you
