Junkyard

Throw me in the trunk of your car
Drive me down to the junkyard
Holy moly what a mess
Getting dirt on your sundress
Gummy vites are getting me high
Satellites controlling my mind
Hold my meeting for today
Think it’s time to get thrown away
‘Cause I had a couple drinks to drink
And maybe two or three thoughts to think
And then I thought I knew it, but I didn’t know shit
If you’re going to the junkyard, take me too
Cancel all of my calls
I’m busy scaring crows in my overalls
Catching up on my MTV
So underground you can’t see me
FCC is bleeping me out
Saying I’m a creep, but I doubt it
Rating me with an NC-17
Closed captioning misquoting me
‘Cause I had a couple drinks to drink
And maybe two or three thoughts to think
And then I thought I knew it, but I didn’t know shit
If you’re going to the junkyard, take me too
My head is full of trash
I’m acting far too rashly
Facing the backlash, lash, lash
My colors tend to clash
Someone should kick my ass
I’m feeling bold and brash, brash, brash
You know where to find me

Sapphire, ruby
You're dawning gently
Sunlight, moonbeam
Your sweetness takes me
Sapphire, sapphire, ruby
Time is firing from a pistol
Spotlight, see right through me
My mind's frozen in a crystal
Sapphire, sapphire, ruby
Time is firing from a pistol
Spotlight, see right through me
My mind's frozen in a crystal
Do you see what I see?
Do your eyes bear witness
Loosely, she holds me
And she knows no darkness
Sapphire, sapphire, ruby
Time is firing from a pistol
Spotlight, see right through me
My mind's frozen in a crystal
Sapphire, sapphire, ruby
Time is firing from a pistol
Spotlight, see right through me
My mind's frozen in a crystal
She's sympathetic, so magnetic
No I could not forget it
So I endeavor to hold her forever
Oh, hold me
She's sympathetic, so magnetic
No I could not forget it
So I endeavor to hold her forever
Oh, hold me
She's sympathetic, so magnetic
No I could not forget it
So I endeavor to hold her forever
Oh, hold me
Sapphire, sapphire, ruby
Time is firing from a pistol
Spotlight, see right through me
My mind's frozen in a crystal
Sapphire, sapphire, ruby
Time is firing from a pistol
Spotlight, see right through me
My mind's frozen in a crystal

Mia's a catch
She always overslept
She'd meet strangers on the porch
And let em in her head
She might move out west
Whatchu running from
Mia
Mia I don't know when
When to say it but I lost my chance
Wish I'd made a move on you
Mia
Mia I'm no stranger
To the ways that you cut your teeth
Never wanna be alone again
Mia's causing a commotion
Her hearts always in motion
Never acting like a lady
That girl can drive me crazy
She's always up to something
Whatchu running from
Mia
Mia I don't know when
When to say it but I lost my chance
Wish I'd made a move on you
Mia
Mia I'm no stranger
To the ways that you cut your teeth
Never wanna be alone again
She's such a sleepyhead
I left you on your birthday
She's such a sleepyhead
I should've left with you instead
Mia
Mia I don't know when
When to say it but I lost my chance
Wish I'd made a move on you
Mia
Mia I'm no stranger
To the ways that you cut your teeth
Never wanna be alone again
Mia
Mia I don't know when
When to say it but I lost my chance
Wish I'd made a move on you
Mia
Mia I'm no stranger
To the ways that you cut your teeth
Never wanna be alone again

Preflight

They teach em young to hold it in
Keeps us missing out and sleeping in
I had a feeling when i met your eyes
That nobody could teach you how to say goodbye
That's why it took me by surprise
It felt like the day in the first grade
Like i was left behind
Felt like the world was ending
Like i could drown in the sound of my mind
I held my silence got used to leaving things unsaid
I felt something so familiar that morning when I climbed out of bed
You dropped me off preflight
And tried to read my mind
I’ll tell you what I'm thinking to save you the time
It felt like the day in the first grade
Like i was left behind
Felt like the world was ending
Like i could drown in the sound of my mind
It felt like the day in the first grade
Like i was left behind
Felt like the world was ending
Like i could drown in the sound of my mind
It felt like the day in the first grade
Like i was alone all night
Felt like the world was ending
And now I don't wanna get on that flight

Hold your pose
I wanna take a snapshot in my mind
Hold the phone
How do you do it?
You always seem to get me from my good side
Vicki, Vicki, Vicki, Vicki Marie
Gotta tell me when she’s looking at me
Vicki, Vicki, Vicki, Vicki Marie
Gotta tell me when she’s looking at me
Cause she sees things
In a different light
Vickie Marie I want this moment to last
Gonna ask you once more
Can you take a photograph
She’s got her sights set
She’s moving through the crowd
She should get on stage
She should take a bow
We need someone with vision
We need someone with passion
We need Vickie Marie
To get her camera out
Vicki, Vicki, Vicki, Vicki Marie
Gotta tell me when she’s looking at me
Vicki, Vicki, Vicki, Vicki Marie
Gotta tell me when she’s looking at me
Cause she sees things
In a different light
Vickie Marie I want this moment to last
Gonna ask you once more
Can you take a photograph

Get Up

I got a bone to pick
I gotta habit to stick my nose where it don’t belong
Making things right until they turn out wrong
Your apathy ain’t tracking
Don’t know why you’re always acting like you messed up
In ways you can’t undo, baby that ain’t you
You don’t need to be blue
Now that I’ve listened to you
Here’s what you got to do
Here’s some advice for you
Pick your head up
Don’t you let up
I know you wanna get better
So get up
I don’t know where to begin
I’m on the outside looking in
I know you can’t deny
You’ve never been one to lie
You don’t need to be blue
Now that I’ve listened to you
Here’s what you got to do
Here’s some advice for you
Pick your head up
Don’t you let up
I know you wanna get better
So get up
You don’t need to be blue
Now that I’ve listened to you
Here’s what you got to do
Here’s some advice for you
Pick your head up
Don’t you let up
I know you wanna get better
So get up

She's Pretty

Have you ever seen a girl with her stature or refinement
Her beauty and her grace hit you harder than a lineman
She is sweeter than a apple, she is kinder than a beagle
Her looks are surely dangerous enough to be illegal
Cause she’s pretty (she’s pretty)
She’s very pretty (hell yeah)
Her smile’s so electric it could power up a city
First time I saw her it was a minute ago
I took one look then I took one look some more
Traffic light cameras are delighted to record her
The plants in the room all tend to lean toward her
She’s pretty, she’s stunning, she’s absolutely gorgeous
The pulchritude she has in her possession is enormous
Cause she’s pretty (she’s pretty)
She’s very pretty (hell yeah)
Her smile’s so electric it could power up a city
First time I saw her it was a minute ago
I took one look then I took one look some more
The I’s in Mississippi often strain themselves to see her
Her reflection in her bedroom mirror wishes it could be her
She’s electric as an eel, she’s as charming as a dove
The fish in her aquarium can’t help but fall in love
Cause she’s pretty (she’s pretty)
She’s very pretty (hell yeah)
Her smile’s so electric it could power up a city
First time I saw her it was a minute ago
I took one look then I took one look some more
She’s tenacious, she’s bodacious, she is bold but not audacious
Time travelers sight-see her on there way to the cretaceous
Cause she’s pretty (she’s pretty)
She’s very pretty (hell yeah)
Her smile’s so electric it could power up a city
First time I saw her it was a minute ago
I took one look then I took one look some more

Suit Up

I’ve been waiting for this moment my whole lifetime
I got this feeling in my bones making like a rolling stone
On an open road home got the feeling like
Found the balloon that I let go in second grade
Came out of nowhere and it hit me in the face
I’ve been working like a generator
Whipping like a power ranger motorbike you know the feeling like
Take me to the place that I want to go
You think I wanna know what you want me to know
Slipping to the edge, creeping through the hedge maze of another headspace baby
It’s time gotta suit up and lay it down
I gotta wing it everytime it comes around
I been grinding like a black and decker
Skipping like a game of checkers overtime
You know the feeling like
Take me to the place that I want to go
You think I wanna know what you want me to know
Slipping to the edge, creeping through the hedge maze of another headspace baby

Parting ways
I tried to hold your gaze
As my car was pulling me around the bend
And I would have left right then if not for deep inside my chest
My heart had begun to protest
It put up such a frightful row
That i feared it would not let me go
Until a bright idea came to my head
I pulled my heart right out my chest
And i squashed it small as it would go
And i backtracked back to camp and shoved it deep inside your backpack
Oooooooo
I left my heart at camp Newaygo so it wouldnt be alone
I thought living with no heart would be better than apart from you and with it
So i left it at Newaygo
Now life without a heart isnt all that bad
I never can be happy but i never can be sad
And I never think of you my dear
Better off that way
For the second that I left my heart, my heartache went away
Oooooooo
I left my heart at camp Newaygo so it wouldnt be alone
I thought living with no heart would be better than apart from you and with it
So i left it at Newaygo
