I've got a sharp but shy wit
I know you can't tell from hearing this
But it's nothing compared to what you came at me with
It wasn't a knife but it was sharp too
Under these circumstances I'd say that's a good start
Oh, oh
If eyes were the window to the soul
I could see mine through a keyhole
Or
A glass eye in a monocle
Because my heart
Oh
You're heart
Oh I have no idea which one is mine anymore
Oh
Keep tugging at my strings
Yellow eyes and rainbow teeth
On a headless beach
Then from dune to street
Carry bobbing beneath the shade of the trees
But truth sinks like those teeth into concrete
Or a nail into your knee
Or Or Or Or
We start with “or” and we keep ending
We start with “and” and we keep going
Or is it the other way around
I heard where you came from
I heard where I came from
It was the same place believe me
Sweeping secrets under your own IKEA rug
Or roll it all up in one completely
I heard where I come from
I heard where you came from
Sweeping our secrets up
Sweeping our secrets up
Sweeping us up
Let's sweep up
Let's get swept away
Let's get swept away
Let's sweep our secrets up
I'm scared
I'm scared
I'm scared
I know
I know
I know
I'm scared
I'm scared
I'm scared
If eyes were the window to the soul
You can see mine through a keyhole
Or through a glass eye in a monocle
Oh
If eyes were the window to the soul
Just if
Just if
Just if
If eyes were the window to the soul
Ah
Sentiment is fucking worthless
Besides you can find mine
Behind your fucking dry wall
You can find mine behind your dry wall
Sentiment is worthless
Make no mistake
Make no fucking mistake
Run
Run
Run
So these are my last pills
So you better take advantage
You better take advantage
These are my last pills
You better take advantage
These are my last pills and I'm feeling sentimental
And then I made my hands into the shape of a cup
And you poured everything you had into it
You poured everything you had into it
So remember me
Remember me
Because I'll remember you on that day
You poured everything into my hands
Into my hands
I'll remember you
And it seeps out from the cracks of my fingers
And I'll remember you
So remember me
Because I'll always remember you like those two hands
Keeping that liquid in
Seeping out from the cracks
Keeping that liquid in
I won't remember us

I'm on the other side of the mirror
I'm on the other side of the mirror oh
And don't ask me why oh don’t ask me why
I smell like licorice because I don't want to tell you
It's too long of a story no no no no
And all these embellishments and jealousies
All these heart breaks OH
And heart disease
All these hearts diseased
It's all disease
I want to tell you I don't want to tell you no no
And if this is some kind of a fantasy fuck
Well yea it feels good
But no I won't pretend to be your Ex
I know he's dead
I know he's past away but no
no no no no no no OK OK
It's scary
It's scary I know
Promise
Promise
Nope
Nope
Come On
Come On
Come On
Ah ah
You can hang on every word
Oh but ill hang myself from any beam that's too sturdy
I'll hang myself on any beam that's sturdy enough to hold my weight
To hold my weight
I know your OK with it
You're OK with it?
I know, I know
Because it won't throw off the balance
Of art and function of the room
Of the room
We're coming clean
I bought rugs just to dust things under
I bought rugs just to dust things under
Thank you Ikea
Thank you Ikea
Oh thank you Home Depot
Just ask my ex girlfriends
A dear Jon
Every letter to me is a dear Jon
Every letter to me is a dear Jon
Every letter to me is a dear Jon
Posing no threat to anyone
Can't call yourself a model until you pose a threat
Can't pose a threat until you call yourself a model
We're all hungry
We're all starving
They're all starving
My eyes are starving
My heart is hungry
Oh
It hasn't eaten in weeks
It hasn't eaten in weeks
Please
Feed me
Feed me
Feed me
Feed me!

Breaking into Hamptons' homes
Just to steal the vintage wines
Breaking into Hamptons' homes
Just to steal their vintage wines
Ah
It's the beach life
It's the life
It's that life
Oh
Watching the sway of the needles on the yachts make waves of lies on the horizon
My welcome mat is a pile of sand
Getting high with the seedy rich
Then meeting up with the Haitian help to laugh about it hahahaha
I don't wanna walk that road unless it comes up between my toes
This town's only got one traffic light
But no one stops
It never ends
Not even at that light
I don't wanna walk that road unless it comes up between my toes
I don't wanna walk that road unless it comes between my toes
It's the beach life
It's that paisley sky
Over a forest of plaid
It's the beach life
And the muted oasis
combed by the footprints of vacationers
It's a muted oasis
combed by the footprints of-
Oh
Then I noticed the locals started going missing
No one'll believe
Cause seeing is believing
No one will notice
No one will notice the locals are gone
The vacationing families
Had no where to go
Mail delivered might as well been driftwood
To a porch of empty homes
The locals have gone
Where have the locals gone?
But I know
I know where they've gone
followed the tide
...back
They came in with the tide
And they followed it back out
I know where the locals gone
Came in with the tide
I'll leave just the same
When my skin turns to brine
Be it at sea
or an Israeli cave
what's left for me save an unmarked grave?
206 skeleton keys
Is all I'll ever be
Is all I'll ever be
It's the sound of the whip on the skin of a drum
or watching the wings to hear a hum
Can't stand on a stump to feel like a trunk
Leather on leather
Bark on bark
Feather on feather
or feather on bark
Feather on leather
or leather on bark
I carry my troubles in a shopping cart
across highways and veins
to a sunken biblical figurative ark
sunken biblical figurative ark
sunken biblical figurative ark
I've got a haunted head
I've got a haunted bed
So disregard everything we just did
and everything I just said
I've got a haunted head
I've got a haunted bed
I've got a haunted head
I've got a haunted bed
(leather on leather)
So watch me drift away with the tide
and get buried beneath the dock
And I'll take the slope of the beach back out like a slide
And I'll walk the ocean floor
To the rest of the natives
(when I'm next to you it feels like leather on leather)

I'm terribly partial
Oh it doesn't mean I'm giving you a fraction
Of what I am
Of what I am
But do you know
You know it's not
You know it's not
You know it's not
But five-tenths of a whole feeling
Makes a feeling whole
when it's twice in a row
when it's twice in a row
Oh
But don't put me on a ship and call me an anchor
And drop me down
Drop
Don't drop me down
I'm going down
I'm gonna sink
You're gonna make me sink
I'm sinking for you
I'm sinking for you
I'm sinking
I'm drowning
I'm drowning
I'm drowning for you
I'm gonna drown
I'm lost but buried
I'm not whole
I'm still that fraction that I was talking about before
I'm still that fraction that I was talking about before
I'm still that fraction
I'm still a fraction
AHHH!
So get a mathematician
Get Hawking
Get Hawking out here
Get Bill Nye out here
Get them both
Get The Minds
Get a gathering of minds
Get the minds
And I know
That I'm still live
Let them know
Let me know that I'm still alive
Because you're the only one that can tell me
You're the only one that can tell me
I'm still alive
Hurry
You're the only one that can still tell me I'm sill alive
Cause my heart is yours
And if your heart is beating
So is mine
I can hear it
Ba ba
Ba ba
I can hear your heart
I'm still alive
I can hear your heart
I'm still alive
Let me breathe
Bring me up to the surface
Let me breathe
Let me breathe
Let me breathe
Let me breathe
Let me breathe
It's caving in
It's caving in
I reach deep inside
15 to 2
15 to 2
15 to 2
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
I've only got so many fingers
Oh but you torture me
You torture
You torture me
Cutting them off one by one by one
Limb by limb by limb
I can't even get dressed
I can't even grab my clothes to get dressed
You just torture me
So much
Much
Much
Much
Much
We're all in ruins
You've ruined me
You've ruined me
I can't even wear a belt
I've got so many notches
I've got so many notches
Punching holes
Outro
I dreamt it up last night
I dreamt it up last night
I prayed
I lifted my hand
I lifted my head
Oh
Made the sign of the cross on my head
I knew
I knew it'd be what I get

I have plenty of bluegrass
I had it ordered
I had it come up on a truck from the south
I have some in my backyard
Ive got it all over my frontyard
Its all bluegrass now
Its all running into the neighbors lawns
and you're a great neighbor
let's tighten up that bible belt
Lets add a few more notches
I can see it now
Ive been working out a little bit
Can you tell
Lets tighten up that belt
Bought a couple new pairs of pants
Oh
Must be sunday
Bought em for sunday
I Bought em for church on sunday
Oh, you'll see em sunday
Oh, Such a good neighbor
Such a good neighbor, no?
Oh, I'll See you on sunday.
Take everything I say with a grain of salt
I'll take everything you do
with a cup of sugar, now
Now get out of my bedroom
Oh
Walk right across that lawn
Walk right across that bluegrass
Oh, that's so sweet of you
That was so sweet of a neighbor like you
Just dont tell my wife
don't tell her
and walk across that bluegrass.
