Harvey’s banging his head against the wall We all though we’d see stars but it’s just the blood that falls Max is spinning the crab inside his crib we never heard such a noise but it’s just Max, Max the kid Mother’s wailing her head against the world we all thought we’d see stars but it’s night the night that falls & falls I took your bath now I feel so unclean with all the potions & lotions that you would rec-om-mend Papa’s playing his hand against the oak we all knew he’d see Mars never thought the trip would be so far Harvey’s banging his head against the wall We all though we’d see stars but it’s just the blood that falls we never heard such a noise but it’s just max, max the kid we never heard such a noise max the kid, don’t know what he did

KGB 04:24

Ivana says I’m terrible Nothing in this world can save me As snow falls on onion domes As the storm settles over glasnost She says she’s KGB She says you don’t know me And now we can’t be free Cause she’s KGB Ivana hands me little red pills To keep us warm through the arctic night Thoughts of all the evil things she’s done Spin like satellite countries around my head Cause she’s KGB She says you don’t know me And now we can’t be free Cause she’s cagey It was nice knowing ya’ my little perestroika It was nice knowing ya’ my little perestroika It was nice knowing ya’ my little perestroika It was nice knowing ya’ my little perestroika She says she’s KGB She says you don’t know me And now we can’t be free Cause she’s KGB Yeah she’s KGB And now they’re after me And we can't be free KGB KG-Be mine tonight If you dare If you dare

She Talks Me Down 03:10
lyrics

When I’m feeding the pigeons some bread She talks me down; she talks me down When I’m slipping off of my meds She talks me down; she talks me down When all the restaurants Seem filled with the walking dead When I’m veering too close to the ledge She walks me down; she talks me down She knows it’s only a phase Like that phase of the moon That makes us cray cray When there’s nothing left to throw at the wall She talks me down; she talks me down When they press fast-forward on this world She talks me down; she talks me down When the news feed travels at light-speed inside my head When I’m veering too close to the ledge She walks me down; she talks me down She knows it’s only a phase Like that phase of the moon That makes us cray cray She talks me down; she talks me down She talks me down; she talks me down When the darkness is gunning for me She talks me down; she talks me down When two plus two equals three She talks me down; she talks me down She talks me down; she talks me down She talks me down; she talks me down

Satan's Xmas 05:37

Satan are You Lonely at Christmas or do you just brew another beer If I worked retail Mister Bartender could I come here? And take this Christmas music mas? Jesus, would I fall in to the comfort of the line? Would I fall in, fall in fall one more time? One more winter time? How can one write other wise? How can one resist the abyss of this holiday loss? So I hail the commercial band that Christmas dial Citizen 666 and that 70s sound So that I drown my sorrows oh, Captain Beef I’ll down them at midnight at garlic row One midnight more if I can make it through the doors make it round the bend. Better the devil you know than all the angels you don’t better the devil you know and they just won’t. So I drown my sorrows captain beef I’ll down them at midnight garlic row Better the devil you know than all the angels in hell better the devil you know because he knows you so well (end with Am) can I come here once more take this Christmas mas? or would I fall in would I fall in one more time one more time

Maybe it’s you, maybe it’s me Maybe it’s just no BFD Maybe you just want someone to talk to My sense…sentences don’t get through to you All my eloquences All my eloquences All my eloquences Burn up upon reentry Your mouth is such a launch pad, man Like Leader-1 another knock-off unrad And it makes me so mad M-m-m-makes me so mad M-m-m-makes me so mad M-m-m-makes me so mad Maybe I don’t understand your question Can you repeat it again? OK, it seems to me perhaps you were lied to Or you’ve been lying to yourself your whole life There’s nothing left You’re no skeptic All the wool you spin No one’s buying it Order up a side of green eggs and ham And ask ma to trim the fat, dad And it makes me so mad M-m-m-makes me so mad M-m-m-makes me so mad M-m-m-makes me so mad You’ve got your fucks loaded And you’re ready to go I’ve got no fucks left So I’m ready to unload And it makes me so mad M-m-m-makes me so mad M-m-m-makes me so mad M-m-m-makes me so mad

Loserman 04:20
lyrics
buy track
It all happened on a Tuesday evening In our fair city by the rivers A new type of vigilante was spotted Down by the docks on the east end Donning a costume so unremarkable To almost go unnoticed The only distinguishing feature was a large L Emblazoned across the forehead of his mask Loser man, Loser man, Loser man Save us if you can Save us if you can Save us if you can Tales of his heroism spread across the city From Bigelow to downtown people spoke of such feats as Rescuing a bus full of passengers from a broken air-conditioning system Saving a kitten from a felled tree He was there on the nightly news He was there on the social media videos He was there in the dreams of children Who lay sleeping in tenements hoping for a brighter day Loser man, Loser man, Loser man Save us if you can Save us if you can Save us if you can Then on that fateful day, our city would never be the same Loser man faced his biggest foe As the mayor heaved the key to the city into his arms Loserman took a long look at the crowd And it could be said that he was taking on long look at himself And what did he see? And did he like what he did see? Loser man stepped away from the podium The brass key dropped to the stage with a thud Loser man, Loser man, Loser man Save us if you can Save us if you can Save us if you can

Modern War Fair 04:17
lyrics

They burned down the closets Where all the ghosts lay hidden The smoke really clogged up my sinuses So you took my temperature I didn't get any better Like a long haired drifter floating from cold to cold When this was is over There'd better be a feast in my honor There'd better be a beast on the table Covered in BBQ sauce Cause when this war is over I'm gonna feel a lot older I'm gonna need your hand to guide me Through this minefield, I'm lost I mastered ninjitsu I mastered karate In the back of my mind After the storm drove me inside I mastered that spinning kick That looks so unbelievably ridiculous And anyone who doubts it Will be at a extreme disadvantage When this was is over There'd better be a feast in my honor There'd better be a beast on the table Covered in BBQ sauce Cause when this war is over I'm gonna feel a lot older I'm gonna need your hand to guide me Through this minefield I'm lost You were given the little you were given And they expected you to be grateful When they took it all away They burned down the movies And all the images melted Until the heroes and the villains Seemed to be one in the same When this was is over There'd better be a feast in our honor There'd better be a beast on the table Covered in BBQ sauce Cause when this war is over We're gonna be a lot older We're gonna need your hand to guide us Through this minefield we're lost
