In the mid to late '80s we got our first video store in my hometown
A locally owned home video rental store in my hometown
It was the mid to late 1980s
In my hometown
The smell and the feeling of video stores on Friday nights in your hometown
Walking through the anti-shoplifting device in your hometown
Seeing half the town
Familiar faces, new releases, sign the wait list
Waiting for a copy of Uncle Buck to come back in your hometown
You peek into the adult section of the video store in your hometown
I noticed the video boxes getting smaller over the years in my hometown
'Til it seemed liked the boxes were inside the movies in my hometown
Two beta tapes strapped together by a rubberband in my hometown
A sunset in the palm of your hand
It's as big as memory
Tequila Sunrise in my hometown
They had a going out of business sale at the video store in my hometown
Rolls of free used movie posters in a bin in my hometown
10 plastic DVD cases for a quarter in my hometown
There's an out of service popcorn machine
There's an empty "Coming Soon" marquee
At the last video store in my hometown
When I visited home
There was a Savings and Loan where it used to be
I'd pay off every late fee
For one more chance to take home an analog dream
You can't hold a stream in your hand
Evil Dead II, they had it
Temple of Doom, they had it
Bloodsport, they had it
Nightmare On Elm Street 4, they had it
Garbage Pail Kids the Movie they had it
The My Pet Monster Movie they had
Ninja Gaiden 2, they had it
Duck Hunt, they had it
Duck Hunt you already had it
Best of the Best they had it
The Mad Balls Movie they had it
GI Joe the Movie they had it
Re-Animator 2 they had it
Home Alone 2 they had it
Big Top Pee-Wee they had it
Freejack they had it
Night Moves they had it

Supposed To Be
02:01

Then times
More better than the now times
Impervious to quick lime
Always
You think about them always
They taxi through your runways
Who was I supposed to be?
Who was I supposed to be?
Who was I supposed to be?
Who was I supposed to be?
Back there
You're tethered to the desk chair
You smile and say you're fine as frog's hair
I can see it coming
All around this place
See the creases forming
Corners of my face
Didn't have a pot to piss in
Only one around was around your gut
Who was I supposed to be?
Who was I supposed to be?
Who was I supposed to be?
Who was I supposed to be?

metabolism slowing down
overfed
undernourished
a breadline beating down your door
open up
one at a time
hey paul y ana
you gotta keep buffaloing me
without a shred of disbelief
you'll never starve it out of me
put all your love in a cupboard
we're gonna need it when
they say that they don't love us no more
we'll never need them again
locals have got it in for us now
pitchforks and torches raised
yet you're grinnin all the way to the top of the windmill tower
my yang says the plane's going down
your yin says at least we had a nice in flight meal
hey paul y ana
i didn't throw you under the bus
the first thing to go is trust
they'll never starve it out of us

Bad Breath
02:24
|

Bad breath!
Every time she opens up her mouth
Bad breath!
Every word is fetid in and out
Bad breath!
Sardine halitosis sauerkraut
Bad breath
Black death
Black DEATH
All theory no practice
All needle no cactus
Apollo no Bacchus
track this
I got a tracking device in my hip
I got a GPS in my chest
DEATH CHIME!

you've had your fun
everyone here in the room agrees
it's come to blows
sit down and let us abolish you
need to tell your mom to get back to me
tell your dad stop pruning the family tree
tell me now who you wanna be vis a vis we and me is it the economy
tell your mom to step off and get back to me
it's just a matter of time
the one to spread the quick lime on all your plans
get it out just to put it away
that girl's got a crisis on her hands
I dreamt that I had a half sister
I dreamt that she looked lot like me
She called me up just to say "Mister,"
"What's shakin in your family tree?"
Never far from the mind
Of a sentimental fool
Think about it all the time
Never far from behind
To my mind
The meaning is not lost on me
The meaning is not lost on me
The meaning is not lost on me
The meaning is not lost on me
The meaning is not lost on me

Time In

I get a pushback
Every time I'm on the right track
I keep on digging through a haystack
For something better than gold
I got it down to the letter, better listen to me
When I proclaim that my name is neither Adam nor Eve
You don't need to know specifics, you just leave it to me my
I put the time in
Dead. Ass.
I put the time in
If they forgot then I'll remind them
Until I get it my way
(And your mind's not stopping now
Do you mind not stopping now)
I know the discourse
Never been anybody's stick horse
Exhausted every single resource
To get you into my life
I keep a record in a ledger, every second I spend
To appear uninterested tho it's hard to pretend
That I never got invested
I confess that I've always been
I say it again and again
I put the time in ...

An Extremely Online Guy
03:16
|
|||
I never had to up my dose
I always trusted in my nose
I rarely had to fold my clothes
I didn't know
What it meant
To have my timeline froze
<chorus>
Every time you come near me
I tremble nervously
Take a minute just to find my keys
Baby, do you wanna take a ride
From an EXTREMELY ONLINE GUY
It, can’t be disproven
When it movin/In a serpentine
You, new boot goofin/Full foolproofin
Houston on the
One, must be becoming
Outside sunning/In a camisole
Me, keep receiving
Deep web streaming/Legends of the Fall
Here’s a little story that I never really wanted to tell
But I think it’d be a crime if I kept it to myself
There’s another person that I always use to keep on the shelf
But I never took ‘im down, for my personal health
You showed me how
To divine
From the available signs
But I failed to demonstrate
Now I'm dying on the vine
Through the annals of history
This occurs naturally
Think I need to see some ID
Baby, do you wanna take a ride
From an EXTREMELY ONLINE GUY
Every time you come near me
I tremble nervously
Take a minute and I flash my keys
Baby, do you wanna take a ride
Or would you rather a black eye?

driveway beers
i got this track on repeat
she's inside and asleep
i'm in my passenger seat
driveway beers
it's such a victory lap
i've got my moon roof cracked
got two cigs left in the pack
o the tree rings of this town ...
driveway beers
it's 11 past 3
there's a patrol car on my street
but he ain't looking for me

Working For Your Dad
02:41
|

Oh that three snooze button length dream
Leaks from my head
Collects in a pool beside my bed
It follows me
It's not ten minutes to your job it is fifteen
As you clock in your dad stares at you through that screen
Says "Such a waste of two soft hands and a degree."
Do not define me by my debts
Or my regrets
These hidebound dreams
Function as small tears in the net
I am tethered, I am pinned
To this time and to this town
And I am shy and I am slow to make new friends
And then that three snooze button length dream
Leaks from my head
Collects in a pool beside my bed
It follows me
It records every calamity
They don't know that you know
Your older brother's being groomed to run the show
And it suits you more than fine to watch it go
Keep your head down
Keep your head down

co-signer
did i ruin your name?
i got homesick
i got allergic
USPS ain't what it once was
5 to 7 days
I'll be gone
i don't like stickin around i don't plan on stickin around
co-signer
were you born in the wrong set of clothes?
did they put a lien against
the house you grew up in?
i don't want to be back in my body just yet
final warnings are
mere suggestions
past due notices
filed under my bed
oh this cruel
memory-holed non-era
how it's burdened my heart

Last Second Asshole
03:31
|

I got a lot of shit I need to get done
If I'm ever going to
Improve my station
Put my head in the trough
I keep putting it off!
Neglecting everything that needs attention
whattayou want for dinner?
I don't know
things won't improve until you get a vocation
I don't want a vocation
too late to learn a vocation
things won't improve until you get a vocation
Forgot to get a vocation
Too old to learn a vocation
No vo-cation!
a self appointed king of procrastination
there's beauty to be found in approximation
now my head's in the vice
this'll never suffice
I think I need a crisis intervention
you scheming backyard kabuki
(my streaming platform baby)
(you failed to demonstrate)

stood upon the pulpit singing a funeral tune

chevy davis junior left us too soon
a-men
leash become the noose
when it hits right it hits right and
when it hits wrong it hits wrong
oh better days...
we used to have to give em away...
stood upon the pulpit singing a funeral tune
a-men...
