Someone burned my neighbor's house
I get by without saying a thing
I get by
A sad color
Of a sad mountain
I recall when I was a child
I get by
You need fire
You need paper
Light the way out the
Mouth of the whale
I get by
Lord, be cool now
Up on top
Cool mountain top
I have a proposition
Can you stake me
'til I by?
Yeah, I got it
The whale broke down
Break a smile and
Drink with me now
I get by
Bird-like bat-christ
Gift-wrapped tigers
Full up, fed up
Drink with me, dance with me now
Lord, be cool now
Up on top
Cool mountain top
I hear no opposition

Hey, hey
If we looked to the sky
We would see it forming
Hey, hey
If we said it three times
We'd live through the morning
We wore our drinking like a brand new coat
Hey, hey
It never happened before
But there's a time for the two of us
Hey, hey
We pulled it up from the shore
And never realized what it was
We spoke like the Dead Sea
We hoped we found mercy
Oh, Sharon, we used to feel our weight
Every time we put our heads down
Now there's nothing but lies and salt
On the floor
We were
So far from revolution
So far from dying stars
So far from our own minds
We watched them drown from a far
So close to falling under
So far from calling home
For fear of facing faces
That welcomed us with stones
We spoke like the Dead Sea
We hoped we found mercy

Keep My Brain On It

Hide in the lights
The one million
Hunters for the life
For the life
Can't take the life
Hold me, stone hands
Live alive, live alive
And feel
Silver nights
All is fair
Come, my wild friend
Bringing out the dead
Its old nightmares
Breath
Live alive, live alive
Crack up the head
Time to change the money
To the road, to the horn
To ground
Claim your stake
Sing its song
Keep my brain on it
Ray gun fantasy
Dressing, quick cut
I
Have a line, have a line
Crack up the head
Bone to braindumb
All is fair
(I am here)
All is fair
(I am here)
I am here
(I am here)
Through the air
Plunge it out of our mouths
Pull a tongue, have a line
Say anything, anything
Through any air
Any air
Back up
from the quick cut
What we thought up
Never mind, it's in the air
Oh, what a dream
Oh, what night
Oh, what a journey
Oh, what a life
Oh, what am I?

Johnny Blur has the bedside manner
Of a rope and a ladder
Can I call him I can call him
Johnny Blur
Johnny Blur has the bedside manner
Of a rope and a ladder
Got a double up cadaver
Johnny Blur
Blur it out
Johnny blur lives in belladonna season
And he stalks you while you're dreaming
But I'll never go to prison
Johnny Blur
Johnny Blur has the bedside manner
Of a rope and a ladder
Let's just give it to the master
Johnny Blur
Blur it out
How's it going, Johnny?
A lightless street
New friends to keep
It's always so fantastic
Manage the outbreak
Gotta take wha't mine
Gonna take what's mine
Tear up the airways
Straighten the line
Gotta straighten the line
Hey, my time
Pay to play
To make it go away
This is the L.A.
That we talk about
When we talk about L.A.
(Your gold walls
Black nightshade
Now let, let me in
I'm in your dreams)
Crawling in
Your dreams again
It's always so fantastic
