Potential for Humor

Less hair, more years
Gained weight, gained fears
Well fuck it, it's what I am
I'll give up guitar when I give up the ghost
I've been sour, I've been sore
I'm not yet a dinosaur
A rock tune, a simple truth
Potential for humor, potential for youth
I've played in the mud
I've played in the clouds
This is the pain of being
And how to get it out
4/4 all the way
Feels good, so let it ride
Now turn it up, and shake your hips
Rattle the ribcage, rattle the ears

The Two Days Off

You got it, got my time, got my soul
I got the two days off
What the fuck, suck it up, big smiles
I got the two days off
It's progress, build it up, kick it in
I got the two days off
Oh lighten up, catch a flick, have a beer
I got the two days off
Nap time, movies
Pizza delivery
Classic Nintendo
Oh shit, I just died
I got the two days off
To fight back, dream big, or start a revolution
I got the two days off
Whatcha gonna do?
I got the two days off

Their Heads Were Glowing
02:08
|

|
I had 700 big blocks in my bones
And my home planet in my head
When I stopped for rest along Central Park West
There was scraped golden sun paint
Down 81st street
And they poured from the grass
Into that summer goop, the people going
Their heads were glowing
Each human with halos showing
Not knowing that that was everlasting
I retreated to the trees and lay to see
That through a bright beam, the gnats were flowing
And their heads too were glowing
Them too, I thought
As a nearby man did airplane arms
While running towards a woman
And the child screamed for more football passes

Premium Unleaded Anxiety
02:57
|

|
Climbing pressure mountain with no guide
Should I primal scream or run and hide?
The air is getting thin, I'm getting sick
Bring me down
Can't take it anymore
From tapping toes to my noisy head
How can I find relief before I'm dead?
It's going on in perpetuity
Oh why not just say, "never ending?"
Have you tried meditation?
Have you tried medication?
Maybe I should give up caffeine
Or just grow a spine
Everything is just fine
Premium unleaded anxiety

The stream, it's the best drug there is
And you know I'm getting fucked up
It's clean, getting smashed on canned laughs
Ghosts glow, caught in the static flash
I know analogue life is hard
I leave it for hours a day
Sometimes all you want to do is
Go where everyone knows your name
If it seems you can't go forward
You can go back, it's all there in the warmth
It's blaring, I'm barely here
Stuck on flypaper, brand What Might've Been
I'm crying for their dreams
The ones on loop that are living for me
I'm laughing, it's alright
Just leave me here
Have you seen the episode where
You felt free and fulfilled?
It's new, but it's been out for a while
Check it out, let me know what you think

My American Diet
02:23

You can give the dog the gristle
He's been a good boy
Can I be excused from the table
After ten more big bites
What'd you learn in school today?
I learned to daydream
It's time for the nightly news now
What is Slick Willy saying?
What is going in my American diet?
You don't wanna know
Your father's not coming home
Well I can't say I'm surprised
Something did seem off
Tonight we'll just do McDonald's
I'm sorry for everything
Well it's not exactly your fault
You gave it what you could
Now can I be excused from the table?
After ten more big bites
Just ten more bites

I Hope I Can
02:44
|

How did I arrive to bombed skies in the nose dive?
Just a second ago, I cruised clear, I was fly, my guy
Get back to magic fuel and the mythical wingspan
Goddamn I hope I can
Sweethearts align
Make one and shine
I need your touch
Like medicine, babe
I'm a planted seed of misery in the deep soil
But watch me get robust and fresh off of this toil
They say you gotta believe you're deserving of love, man
Goddamn I hope I can

The Whole Eternity Off
04:17
|
|||
|
Somehow I'm a creature that features specific bones
Chasing homeostasis and maintenance before I go
All the bipeds like me are hiking to wooden homes
One after another, together also alone
Of all the herebefores, herenows, and hereafters
I am just adrift with a wish to hear your laughter
Because in those moments, I'm more than mere matter
Potential for humor, what better place to gather?
Going, going, gone
Blink an eye, live a life
Going, going, gone
Time flies either way
Going, going, gone
If you're not having fun
Don't you worry because soon
You'll get the whole eternity off
Baby I believe you when you say you're not alright
But I am here to heal you and get you through crying nights
If that's all I manage to do before I die
Then I lived will and I'll rest my peaceful eyes
(Need more laughter in my life
'Cause soon later, it's bye bye
I can't believe it, it's no lie
So let's give this our best try, yeah)
