Superblonde 03:56
I’m running, she’s cunning, she figured out that I’m weak Explosion has no end, as nature goes she is a freak She thinks it’s a favor Instincts say just save her She lifts me up like a superblonde I’m reeling, hard breathing, she’s too cool for her own school Kick this start, she rips heart, then she tells me what we’re gonna do She takes - over my head Zero - to one hundred She drops the clutch like a superblonde She throws me down, digs her heels right into me Flips me upside down and turns me inside out, She’s so super She’s got me thinking, she’s got me dreaming, about her ways, her mouth and her skin, but I’ve been drinking, and I’m finding, this is where it all has to end She says why, it feels nice, then she tells me what we’re gonna do, I know that I should run, I know that it’s all wrong, but there’s no way that I’m stopping her can’t stop her now 'cause She takes over control-Instincts say just let’s roll She rips me up like a superblonde

Pour Hubcap 04:07
Hubcap sit down can’t you wait your turn Till I come back and let a cigarette burn Hubcap sit down coats are on the floor Hubcap sit down let that cigarette burn Lost my keys had one too many that night Found that disease now I’m feeling right Can’t stop thinking can’t stop thinking about The time you left me the time you needed me Pour hubcap I know that I’m crushed by your darlingness and I know that I’m easily infected by your love Coming down from high above Coming down from high above Pour hubcap You and I we’re such a great team now you drink me and I’ll swallow you, You and I make such a great team now you drink me and I’ll devour you whole Hubcap sit down this game is much too short We gotta get back to find your face is a glow Hubcap sit down this game is much more easy Hubcap sit down easier then you think till you think your stinking I know that I’m crushed by your darlingness and I know that I’m easily infected by your love Coming down from high above Pour Hubcap

Irish Smile 02:48
t’s good, it’s good not to see you again ‘Cause I can’t take another tooth eating grin Think I’ll run think I’m sure You’re not smiling any more You botched it once, twice again You were cursed with the worst of an Irish smile She resists with a kiss once in a while It’s good, it’s good to see you again And I see you got you some better friends Better than this sour puss man Better have your sour mash plan Cause I’m shaky once, twice again You were blessed with the best of an Irish smile She resists with a kiss once in a while Betty says she’s not in love So I take her picture and I marked it up some So I’m shallow in the bitter end All I know it keeps me from drowning You were cursed with the worst of an Irish smile She resists with a kiss once in a while

Twisted 04:00
Black clouds swarming in your head Depression highway to be fed I wish the door would open up light I turn around now afraid to face the fight You’ve been cautious with your lies Sometimes twisted in your life You’re hanging by a thread You hit it so well you’ll end up dead So get up, and ask me for a light So sit down, I’ve had enough Sitting on the bed till dawn I wish I’d answered you straight If I had known about that I wouldn’t have ended that day Wish the door would open up I turn around now to face the fight You’ve been cautious with your lies in your twisted life So get up, and ask me for a light So sit down, ‘cause I’ve had enough Black clouds swarming in your head Depression highway to be fed I wish the door would open up light I turn around now afraid to face the fight

Glide 03:36
I’m standing naked down by the river She’s watching me shiver She’s watching me fall Come see what’s gone on here before you I’m not trying to ignore you I’ve not tried to at all I’ll spend the time to stand and deliver But what’s to deliver but what’s to the eye Send worthy cause there’s not much to give her I’ll deny into whither I’m denying it all Let it glide She comes to me she comes on the bible as if he’d set her free She comes to me as if I was wrong lord knows I’m dead Let it glide She comes to me she comes on arrival such a simple machine she comes to me as if I was wrong Let it glide
