run your mouth, turn it down
tell the truth, god is youth and
don't believe in love, don't believe in love, no
don't look above, don't look above, no
she says "you're self conscious and obnoxious
right down to your jeans
you're lazy lately, but don't hate me
go find some other friends
and be a real man"
let's get real, man
be a real man
let's get real, man
write a song, hit a bong
find the note, sing it strong, man
don't believe in love, don't believe in love, no
try to be tough, but she likes it rough, oh
she said "wow, that lipstick makes me real sick
go take off that dress
you're a pissy playboy
just a decoy
go find some other friends
and be a real man"
let's get real man
be a real man
let's get real man

i was lifted from my body
in a ***** hotel lobby
it was snowing like a movie
your jacket smelled just like coffee
your jacket smelled just like coffee
you smile and wave “come on over”
we line up to waste all your time
a great actor knows it's all one big joke
make it up as you go, it's alright
i was drinking the finest beverage
making a fool of myself
i tried to swoop on your new girlfriend
i think she only spoke italian
yes i'm sure, she only spoke italian
you smile and wave, “it’s all over”
we quietly disperse from the line
a great actor knows it's all one big joke
make it up as you go til you die
*awkward whistle solo*
i was crying the next morning
just wanted to meet gus van sant
i flew back to my apartment
and sat with my head in my hands
i sat with my head in my hands, oh berlin,
i sat with my head in my hands

u + me (love machine)

a coffee shop
we laughed a lot
but in the parking lot...
at the gallery
there was a robbery
and that's poetry
if you ever try to create
a masterpiece
show it to me
but you can never try to remake
this love machine
without u + me
we make no sense
in the present tense
let's just stay in bed
almost went insane
at the bar on main
and then i found you babe
if you ever try to create
a masterpiece
show it to me
but you can never try to remake
this love machine
without u + me

at this point, baby
i think your lips could kill me
a little finger pushed me off the ledge
and if you don't praise me
for singing so greatly
i guess i don't deserve the trophy
close your eyes, don't look now
your face is all upside down
moving fast and moving slow
the roller coaster's up for me now
you try to stop but you don't know how
at this point, baby
i think your legs could slay me
a little finger pushed me off the bridge
and if you don't praise me
for singing so greatly
well then you're just a phony homie
close your eyes, don't look now
your face is all upside down
moving fast and moving slow
the roller coaster's up for me now
you try to stop but you don't know how
you should say what you want
and scream all your thoughts out loud
she said
"that song that you sing, what's it really all about?"
at this point, baby
i think your lips could kill me
a little finger pushed me off the bridge

watch my hands move so fast
in the present and the past
look at my face, look at my mask
do you even have to ask?
and can you face mortality
with cigarettes ands some caffeine?
a wannabe celebrity
can accomplish anything
i think i'll go write this down
and spend another night in this town
and when i wake, spin around
repeat, all over again
so if you feel like getting drunk
somebody probably done you wrong
and if you feel like singing songs
you're already fucked
with my movie mushroom dreams
hallucination memories
i see white mountain trees
but i can't remember anything
i think i'll go write this down
and spend another night in this town
and when i wake, spin around
repeat, all over again
restless reckless i won't sleep
until i break my memory
"i love you" - what do you mean?
can i buy you a drink, or something?
