Slurpee Surf 02:42
We watched the fight break out tonight Over an unimportant point My eyes could not believe the sight Talked them down and rolled a joint Tell them all aloud just to settle down Make the sugar clowns stop the runaround We breathed between the ocean swells Nothing to do but scan the light As it dissolves; we say farewells, Glad to resolve the nonsense plight Tell them all aloud just to settle down Make the sugar clowns stop the runaround I wanna go back in time We laughed about the episode But there’s a lump inside my throat I wanna go back in time To satisfy the urge to find Where innocence went wrong

I closed my eyes, too tired to think But I don’t let it go to my head It’s out of reach, it’s hard to run In dreams your legs are made of out of lead Well I fell down in one fell swoop I raised my arms and flew away to distant lands instead How many times is that for me? How many times Some of the signs are hard to see Some of the signs I chased a ghost, a specter of you I think it was but can’t be too sure Without a face, not even a mask The way it felt I knew it’s passed in front of me before How many times is that for me? How many times Some of the signs are hard to see Some of the signs

Could it be that I need something else entirely? ‘Cause how it seems to me it’s not at all what it was before, is it? Fortune reads that I’ll be somewhere in the big leagues But not according to my cookie-cutter, practically-dead routine Beg to differ Beg to differ now Could it be that you mean something else completely? You’re like the withdrawal from passive-aggressive, subliminal amphetamines Beg to differ Beg to differ now Make up your mind Settle the score Oh, now we’re cookin’ We’ll just agree To disagree Alright, that’s it

Port of call for our demise Eyes are bulged to saucer-size Don’t exaggerate Take it with a grain Can’t come close to compromise Flaring nostrils advertise I’m going insane, waxing while you wane Trying to abstain from the sugarcane Done with your complaint Going down the drain Swear I’ll lose my mind If I’m so inclined Rusting in the rain, polyurethane Don’t assign the blame, no we’re not the same No we’re not the same Take it with a grain

Feels like I’m running in place Can’t see the start or the end Slow motion sets up the pace My legs are glued and cannot bend I picture your face All the details I invent While I’m suspended in space Your features I can’t comprehend Happiness is a place that you often forget Like driving back to your parents’ house for holidays If I said there weren’t times that had garnered regret Well I’d be out of my mind Pick up my minimum wage It’s getting hard to pretend I’ll be ok if I save I make believe that I won’t spend If my apartment’s a stage Then all my bills are a trench I dig my daring escape And scrape away to pay the rent Transience is a state you can never expect Like waiting for a train that’s already been twice delayed If I said there weren’t times that were hard to accept Well I’d be out of my mind, And I don’t think that I’d mind. I dance on edges of blades I toe the line to defend You haven’t seen me for days I fake that I don’t need a friend I make up lies that I’m great Although I always intend To play my favorite charade It’s lost and don’t know where it went. Happiness is a place that you often forget Like driving back to your parents’ house for holidays If I said there weren’t times that had garnered regret Well I’d be out of my mind, And I don’t think that I’d mind.
