Oh! Benjamin

I once met a man who was stuck in a trap
Said it was set for my leg so I stood and I laughed
I read somewhere that laughter is the best form of medicine
So when he asked me for help I told him a joke
And then I made silly faces 'cause his ankle was broke
I couldn't help, but giggle. I guess you'd say I wasn't a gentleman
So we danced around the point, but I already knew
That he couldn't do the tango and I couldn't play the blues
His momma always called him dear. Now he'll be someone's venison
Oh! Benjamin
You can't do the two-step when one of 'em is stuck in a bear trap
Oh! Benjamin
There never really was a beat, til Allan vacuum-packed Kerouac
Bring it back
I used to know a girl who was stuck in a rut
Said it was all to make me jealous til she ran out of luck
I couldn't empathize, but you know I felt a good deal of sympathy
So I begged her for her love to find the roles had reversed
And then she gave me a shove because our love'd been perverse
Is never ever better than late? I guess I had an epiphany
Oh! Tiffany
You can't do the two-step when one of 'em is stuck in a bear trap
Oh! Tiffany
There never really was a beat til Allan vacuum-packed Kerouac
Bring it back

Time to Kill

I've got some time to kill
I wanna see what I can find to kill
I've got some room to grow
You know I love to hear I told you so
Lately all my dreams
I've been losing all my teeth
This anxiety
Is gonna be the death of me
I've got some time to kill
And some pretty big stilettos to fill
I had some time to love
But it was wasted looking up above
Lately all my dreams
I've been losing all my teeth
This anxiety
Is gonna be the death of me
Lately I've been wasting all my time
Trying to take a world that isn't mine
And I know if I just press rewind
Maybe its a dream, maybe its a dream
Lately I've been wasted all the time
Trying to make some water out of wine
Maybe I'm the backwards Jesus Christ
Maybe its a dream, maybe I'm a dream
Lately I've been wasting all my time
Trying to take a world that isn't mine
And I know if I just pressed rewind
Maybe its a dream, maybe I'm a dream
Lately I've been wasted all the time
Trying to make some water out of wine
Maybe I could be your anti-Christ
Maybe its a dream, maybe I'm a dreeeeeeeam

Boxes and Boxes
03:44
|

|
I sleep in a beige-walled room
With one token piece of art
Hanging from a screw
Recycled from a car
With boxes and boxes all around me
I feel like I'm in a morgue
Just playing euchre with dead guys
Complaining about being a corpse
Oh, but no one ever told them
That death would be this hard
So I gotta break the news
I sleep with the hangman now
And his walls are full of art
Attempting to distract him from
His work in the hanging yard
But at night I slip down to the cemetery
So I can hang with the hangers, correct
But they can barely keep their heads up
On account of their broken necks
Oh, but no one ever told them
That death would be this hard
So I gotta tie the noose

My Baby

My baby don't wanna be held by me
I try to pick her up and she looks at me like I'm a stranger
My baby don't wanna be held by me
I try to pick her up and she cries out like she's in danger
My baby don't care for me at all
Can you relate that in this state I'm feeling like a martyr
But when I hear my baby crying from down the hall
I try to soothe her, but she just cries even harder

Underwater Daydreams
04:10
|

|
A root system is growing
Out your swimsuit from your bellybutton
You smile softly at the bottom of the pool
But breathing underwater is easy for you
My shoes are missing and my toenails
Are pruning slowly and they're falling off like the tail
Fell off the monkey when he came down from the tree
But evolution just comes naturally to me
Its such a natural thing to want to swim and play
Your hair is curly, but its just your DNA
You look so pretty with your makeup washed away
With all those distractions gone, I can finally see your face
