I don’t wanna pick up the phone when it rings
cuz I know who it is they wanna talk about things
I prefer the silence of nothing at all
just the books on my shelf and the shit on my walls
I have dreamed of death in my sleep every night
but somehow I have lived every day of my life
I’ve been on a path to no particular place
and I’m screaming for something to get in my way
Maybe we could go back to Cleveland
and play for the sound guy and the other band
and the opening act got picked up by his dad
It’s happened before it’ll happen again
It’s happening right now
When I turned 23 I didn’t know I was free
so I got in my car and gave up on the scene
Now I lose my mind every time I rewind
After hundreds of waves I’m still under the slime
I just wanna go back to Asheville again
get attached to the lampshade with all of my friends
we got Bob and the Band we got Spooky and Dan
and we got ourselves a motherfuckin rock and roll band

When I’m thiry-five
Or on the last beer of my life
I want to look right into the camera
And say, “damn, that was nice”
Now I do not have to drive
And that’s the best news of my life
But someone’s got to drive for me, honey
And that cuts me like a knife
Yo, far from the rock ‘n roll stage
Where every fucker shows his age
We used to play air guitars in back seats of cars
Just gunnin’ for a useable rage
Homecomeing, twenty years
My face filled with September tears
But a beer is a beer is a beer is a beer is a beer is a beer is a beer
Is a beer is a beer is a beer
Is a beer is a beer is a...

I am the patron saint of young professionals
I’m in love with you everything you do
and I will make a place for you in paradise
ergonomic thrones, geodesic domes
You are coming home to the league of your own
Some are skeptical but that’s natural, young man
And on the day that you get to the gates
you will shake the ass that’s behind you
Hallelu
Unforgivable unforgetable
So outrageous and irrepresible as planned
And as you fade from the grave to the rave
you will shake the ass that’s behind you
Hallelu

TAFKA Salieri

Oh baby won't you hit me with that divine inspiration
I might be short on soul but not on motivation
Take your time
I'm not gonna die
I'd be dancing on my grave
Cause I got no soul to save
Oh baby you know, I've got a long way to go
Great riffs that I stole and I don't have much to show
Cause you're looking pretty fancy and I like you're style
I've been feeling pretty ugly for a long, long while
When it hits me I'm gonna take it to its logical conclusion
Nothing left out, no, one hundred percent inclusion
I take my time
Cause I'm not gonna die
I'd be dancing on my grave
Cause I got no soul to save
Oh baby you know, I've got a long way to go
Great riffs that I stole and I don't have much to show
Cause you're looking pretty fancy and I like you're style
They used to call me Salieri now it's been a while

Hey Annie, where’d you go to get your head like this?
You’re so spaced out on aliens and magic tricks
But the stupidest thing of all was that crucifix on your wall...
Hey Andi, who the hell do you think you are?
You’re just a washed up cowboy singing in a slutty bar
And when the lights came up at two Warren caught a glimspe of you…
But the stupidest thing of all is that crucifix on your wall
Yeah, the stupidest thing of all is that crucifix on your wall...
Hey lady, maybe we took it just a bit too far
We’re both riders, mining for Love on two separate stars
Just banging to Lana Del Rey
Wishing we had something to say…

Two Birds
03:02
|

There are two birds. I love them both.
One flys south. One stays north.
Salve Maria.
There are two wolves.
They both must feed.
One to nurse and one to bleed.
Salve Maria.
The one’s in the other and the other’s in one.
We stuck our hands in pie and we pulled out a plum
Darlin’ that’s just the story of where we come from.
There are two moons
with each two beams.
One that is and one that seems.
Salve Maria.
Two rivers run inside a dream.
We float on by or swim upstream.
Salve Maria.

Heathen Tour in 09
you broke your demons with dynamite
reissued Singles Club Poltergeist
as it had been in alt-crit publicized
Aging alts, at-risk youth, MFA Ad execs, FIGI dudes
all saw the dollar signs in the news
but junior’s freshman year was subsidized
Cut to Freak Out Fest live from Spain
sponsored by Nikon and Cheverlot
you played at 3 AM in the rain
to twenty thousand of some distant ethos
most of whom had killed their egos
and didn’t know your hits
much less your name
or rank!
Manny D
lead singer of the Libertines
poet laureate of dotcom industries
knows his age, so stock the cooler on the stage
with a 30-pack of Clausthaler
Thank you please
Thirty days, thirty nights
two teenage children, one ex-wife
one hundred thousand bucks for the rights
to use this track to sell a dating app
which you had downloaded to fill a need
looking for the future ex Manny D
somebody said that tantric sex sets you free
but it got weird
got really really weird
got really, really weird
It just wasn’t for you
Not for you
Who?
Manny D
lead singer of the Libertines
poet laureate of rom-com phillistines
died today, so stock the cooler on his grave
with a thirty pack of Miller MGD
Thank you please
RIP Libertine

Country Worm

Mama was a country worm.
Daddy was a country worm.
Sister was a country worm too.
Grandpa was a country worm.
Said so on his tax return.
The IRS put him in a zoo.
Mama was a zoo intern.
Took a liking to the worm.
And the worm was interested too.
Everybody got together.
Everyone was wearing leather.
And they did the worm
as worms are wont to do.

Sober June

Drunk as hell
Under your spell
I like to think I can hide it but I know you can tell
Spring will be soon
Then I'll clean my room
And when I do, I'd like to share it with you
Baby don't hate me just because I can really kind of hate myself some time
It doesn't mean that I still can't be a good guy
Honey don't love me just because sometimes I can come off as a good guy
If doesn't mean I won't be fucked up on the Fourth of July
Sober June
I hope to see you soon
I'm so bored with the sports section I don't know what to do
Under your spell
You can see me in hell
I'm old friends with the bartender and he hooks it up well

Over Moving On
02:21
|

Show of hands to set the plan in motion
the time has come at last to look alive
Now you’ve come back down to earth
go home to your universe
you’ve had your fun
but fun has took its time
And now you’re gonna understand
how to be a modern man
out of touch and on-demand
for everyone to see
And I could be an evil king
but I won’t ever learn to sing
the song it’s wrong I’ve known it all along.
but I’m over moving on.
Now we’re coming to the crux
taking shots at honest drunks
at bar close who gives a fuck
about what supposed to be?
And I could be an evil king
but I won’t ever learn to sing
the song it’s wrong I’ve known it all along
but I’ve over moving on.

Deep Peace

Deep peace of the running wave to you
Deep peace of the flowing air to you
Deep peace of the quiet earth to you
Deep peace of the shining stars to you
Deep peace of the infinite peace to you

Young sons of the gentry
Grant me reentry into your dreams
I have traveled the centuries
Drinking from two very different streams
Freedom river redemption cruise
Drunk driving with honest dudes
Sex scenes that made the news
Christmas Eves without any booze
Young druids of rock
Who will tend the flock?
When the Spirit is gone
Whom among ye will push this on?
Andi Action Redemption Song
It’s twice as good but half as long
As all the time it took to turn black to blonde
We’re just magic men who are moving on
Listen to this:
Tell me what it means
To be a bleach-blonde brunette post-punk beauty queen
And I tell you how it feels
To get your heart cut in two parts by three-inch heels
This one goes out to Mom & Dad
And to those first few kisses I ever had
And to those Rock Dudes who thought we were rad
And to those Scene Freaks who said we were bad
Because I dye my hair black I’m coming back now
Dye my hair blonde I’m moving on now
Dye my hair black I’m going back now
Dye my hair blonde and then I die I
Dye my hair black I’m going back now
Dye my hair blonde I’m moving on now
Dye my hair black I’m coming back now
Dye my hair blonde and then I die I
Dye my hair black I’m going back now
Dye my hair blonde I’m moving on now
Dye my hair black I’m going back now
Dye my hair blonde and then I die I
Dye my hair black I’m going back boys!
Telephone rings...and now I answer the goddamn phone now.
