The Yips

Frankie's got the yips
Dino wants to jam
Jimmy's showing up
And I'm on the lamb
Got a short shrift
It’s barely enough
Making quick work
On the real tough stuff
Why would I
Bang my head against the wall
Unless it help
Then I'd take the fall
Excuses pile up
Running real deep
When u see can't the forest
For all the tall trees
When u got the yips
And ya really wanna jam
It takes showing up
Even if your on the lamb
What's it mean
To be a real friend
When your ego’s hurt
And u won't hit send
Trying to be
A solid soul
With all the struggles
It's hard to know
Frankie's got those yips
Dino wants to jam
Jimmy's showing up
And I'm on the lamb
I got the yips
And you gotta the quits
I might be sick
of dealing with all of this
They come on strong
Yeah, they really sneak up
Grab on hard
make ya feel rough
Pray for the cure
To give it all up
Try to confess
When you’ve had enough
Frankie's got the yips
Dino wants to jam
Jimmy's showing up
And I'm on the lamb

Sweet Amandine
She can’t be seen
Travel through time
In body and your mind
I’m guarding the gates
I’m guarding the gates
Nothing stays the same
Nothing but change
My life, got in the way
I’m trying to run away
I’ll never see the day
When I can afford to pay
I’m guarding the gates
I’m guarding the gates
Nothing stays the same
Nothing but change
Praying hands can't see
What is meant to be
Some things you say
Always get away
I’m guarding the gates
I’m guarding the gates
Nothing stays the same
Nothing but change

New High
03:57
|
|||
|
It’s a new life
The one that’s around
Gonna get high
Gonna get down
Feels just like
Losing my mind
Makes me forget
All the sweet sounds
Let’s stay weird
Let’s stay queer
Let’s stay here
Do we obsess?
Dress for success
Time to vet
People you’ve met
Life on the edge
Not in the slums
Got a head up
Be where I'm from
Let’s stay weird
Let’s stay queer
Let’s stay here
Skeeter won’t bite
Cause I got bitter blood
It’s all the same
To be where you’re from
Lost for awhile
Got in the way
Clearing the fog
Be what I may
Let’s stay weird
Let’s stay queer
Let’s stay here
Crossing the bridge
Staying on brand
Right your own ticket
Be your own man
Scared of the past
Hope for today
Live in the now
It’s always ok
Let’s stay weird
Let’s stay queer
Let’s stay here

Come Correct
04:54
|
|||
|
Please say you'll leave
And not cause a scene
Save some face
Your friend's got no taste
Please go away
And leave this place
Sure you'll b back some time
But not today
Please go away, hey hey
Please go away, hey hey
You’re making a mess
can't even get dressed
Clean it up
Spill your cup
Approve what I do
And hear what I say
Scream real loud
Won't go away
Is it ok? hey hey
Is it ok? hey hey
You better learn to come correct
You better learn some respect
Amazing day
Subtle plays
Nothing to say
And I won’t anyway
If your famous
If your gay
I'll keep ur secrets
and tweet them away
They said no way
Not today
No way
Got nothing to say
You better learn to come correct
You better learn some respect

Lock Me Up
05:16
|
|||
|
If ya can't behave
I’ll take your candy away
We expect a lot
Not accepting this lot
Hide behind some faith
Think that you are saved
And you talk the talk
While we be walking the walk
Lock me up
Love takes work
Diablo he said no
He was saying so so
Hard to toe the line
And be keeping the time
We got commodities
We got you and me
We be burning bright
Roll up in Brunel Heights
Lock me up
Love takes work
Try to act all adult
Always saying my fault
Will we figure this out
Words come out of my mouth
Want to stay on top
When I’m too busy to talk
Got a place I can heal
A little place I can feel
Lock me up
Love takes work

Panic Attack
03:54
|

|
It's like thinking, without a thought
It's like thinking, without a thought
Perspective is important, your opinion is not
It's like thinking, without a thought
I'm having an attack, a panic attack
It's an attack, a panic attack, ok
Oh yeah (ride that wave)
It's a stain I can't wash away
Wanna scrub it all the same
Guilt and shame, guilt and shame
It's a stain I can't wash away
I'm having an attack, a panic attack
It's an attack, a panic attack, ok
Oh yeah (ride that wave)
Flashpoint on a bleeding edge
Flashpoint on the bleeding edge
like a wedding stitch that never mends
Flashpoint on the bleeding edge
I'm having an attack, a panic attack
It's an attack, a panic attack, ok
Oh yeah (ride that wave)
Street talk with a New York walk
Street talk with a New York walk
Faith and being and love and trust
Street talk with a New York walk
I'm having an attack, a panic attack
It's an attack, a panic attack, ok
Oh yeah (ride that wave)

Human Resource

|

|
Slowly care less and less
What the people think
Yearn to share more
Hope they crown you king
We had an incident
Now you’re a liability
Ringing the devils doorbell
Beeline for the trees
Human resource
Been here before
Human resource
Knocking on my door
The grass ain’t greener
Don’t crash those gates
It’s a benefit
Not to give a shit
My jaw hurts
From smiling too much
Protect your soul
From the demons and dust
Human resource
Been here before
Human resource
Knocking on my door
I’ve got wrinkles
A face in the sun
Don’t have to be a pro to know
That you’ve given too much
(Sitting in a) cork town hotel
Feeling cursed
Working so hard for someone
Gone from bad to worse
Human resource
Been here before
Human resource
Knocking on my door

Safe For Work
03:47
|
|||
|
I've been fighting and lying for way to long
I've been yelling the same things (over and over) in every song
I’ve been stood up, beat down, and dragged around
I've done it to myself, (I'm tired) and I need to move on
Be careful of what you write you might say it aloud
With no pregnant pause…….. to shut your mouth
I wanna write a song that mother might like
Wanna lay down my arms
Give up the fight
Sit at the table
With the heads of state
Wanna be on time
Before it's too late
(I'm always too late)
Is my lizard brain doing me wrong?
Or is it doing me harm ?
I can't just figure it out
On whether to continue in this vein
every day and every night, it all seems the same
And I’ll keep on writing ‘cause I can complain
It’s a touch of the real
A modicum of pain
Homily for a generation
A master of none
With no plan of succession
Is it safe to see
Or safe to say
This is the end
Now go and play

Quixiotic Kicks
02:08
|
|||
|
Quixotic kicks always making me sick
Never ending craving, starting so thick
Sliding all those truths, trying to make them stick
Always coming close
But never getting a hit
Yeah yeah yeah
Quixotic kicks
Dust on my boots
And they're flipping the script
Misspelled marquee
And the bulbs never lit
Words on my chest, that never seem to fit
I want action that’s never going to quit
Quixotic kicks
Driving real fast and I’m starting to drift
Acting real tight and I’m hedging my bets
Swinging for the fence, but I always seem to miss
I want love but I only seem to get
Those Quixotic Kicks
Struck real hard like a nail in the head
Woodshed ideas till we put them to bed
Rinse out the prints as we’re forging ahead
Never surprised by what passes for Zen
It’s Quixotic kicks

Tiger Team
War Machine
What I need
Plant the seed
She complains
It’s in her brain
Got my pride
On my side
We create
Hesitate
All a joke
What I wrote
Push and Pull
Push and Pull
Push and Pull
Over me

After the rain has fallen down on my mind
So I can sleep at night
