Katy looks to me says i wanna leave
Hop in the side car see the roads that take you home
drive for hours looking for familiar sights
drive for hours til the sidewalks meet the tide
She says
Ooh
I’m looking for anything
To make me feel like I am real
She says ooh
Don’t hold on to the things I say
it will all wash away
Old chalkboards I can still see what you wrote
Come inside - tell me about your home life
dads a pilot always watching from above
hasnt said much but him and mom are still in love
drink flat soda and watch stale tv shows
go to bed and thank the lord for what I own
In the morning mom is sleeping on the couch
A bag of peanuts at her feet for when she wakes up
She says o
Im looking for anything
to make me feel like I’m real
She says oh
Dont hold on to the things I say
Someday I will wash away
Old ethel sittin out in the yard
never seen the road but recognizes all the cars
swore someday she would drive a cadillac
Leave roseville with no thoughts of comin back
knows every face at every single local bar
Curses them all but holds them close to her heart
still someday she hopes that she will disappear
Down the road ,drowned and cold, frankly anywhere but here

Cold summer
Falls into winter
I seen your shadow in the halls
Putting shoes on
To walk around the block
Your shadow follows
Fifty feet tall
I knew that you’d be there
Everywhere I go
But now I want you to go on your own accord
be free, get loose
go now be free
go now
“the sun sets its tired head on the horizon, waits, and then rolls over into nighttime again

Ticks on the dogs scruff again
Bountiful bloodbound old men
Keepin my eye out for the secret handshake is a dangerous game to play
Hands of iron breath of smoke
He chokes
Dies in the night all alone like the rest of us

inside out

Everybody flys their flags for someone to see
Everybody tries to hide that someone thats underneath
and when it’s revealed it’s ugly
And it snarls and flashes it’s teeth
Starved to the bone oh so hungry
No food in its bowl to eat
So tell me tell me all about the things that you have seen
You can whisper you can scream it if you want your secrets safe with me
It’s like I’m looking at a bunch of blow up dolls
Their phones are ringing but there’s no one that ever calls
Baby baby
What’s inside is out
Everybody flys their flags for someone else to see
Everybody’s flyin flags but they look like kites to me

choppy waves I think I might be in over my head
the sky is darkening and somethings reaching up for my leg
it pulls me under
and holds me tight
I close my eyes
give up the fight
goodnight
tell my mother I love her
on the shoreline
she's drinking up the salt water just like it was wine
how could I know to read the signs?
the flags are grey to me, I couldn't get a reading of the tide
