1.	Prospect Ave 01:31	lyrics	buy track
See this door frame to the wall hang the windows and call up the clerk Craft patterns of distress interest find a good place to work Rattle off the midlife in the back of the kitchen go to the grave the same way of foreign family member did An elephant dancing on coals It's silhouette trembling into the walls I took my leave for a while now This unsound framework must come down Inherit an unflinching disgust with the living Take off your coat pour out the pain for an evening Pistols pointed at the engine block there's a pill to make the pressure stop and overhead the stars begin to sing the moon afloat in it's own fantastic grin smile at everyone I meet until they smile back at me I'm growing less and less indifferent more ashamed more conditioned
2.	20 in the 20's 02:40	lyrics	buy track
Like the invention of the automatic machine gun or the prescription of the automated telling machine I am the advent of automobile transport in a time of great and terrifying anger Like a dog with only three legs left I am the sunken sickly place he goes to lie I am the grime between his paw pads and the pavement in a time of a great and terrifying anger Brothers sisters I have all but lost the plot mothers misters I can't grasp what you have got tires pulling into driveways as families reconnect I'm like an infant being raised on the Internet in a time of a great and terrifying anger In a time of a great and terrifying anger In a time of great and unforgiving anger In a time of a great and unrelenting anger In a time of a great and terrifying anger
3.	Bank Robbery 02:47	lyrics	buy track
Wheels tumbling through the night as if the past won't haunt you train plane or ship and in the backseat there's a grief case which is handcuffed to the wrist of a super secret person so I can't say who he is With his bright claws there's the driver his hair on end and standing still driving 80 miles an hour with the windows down till Counter to your instincts not quite as you’d expect in the middle of the desert a dark cloud amassed overhead and it said; go ahead now bring the roaring of your engine pumping blood now we're racing against the dawn and I fear for the four of us
4.	Sister's Wedding 02:32	lyrics	buy track
And since your mother can't forgive me won't be at your sister’s wedding won’t grow old beside you retract my nails and learn to sing like la da da When the weatherman cut through the car and everybody stops, when the Earth has had its fill of us and there’s the last stock market drop I won’t hold hands with you but I'll forget whoever did us wrong you ever notice how the good old men are quiet yet so full of love like la da da No I won't owe you any verses many verses about the lies the sunken city it creeps in on me but that’s no reason why I closed my eyes took them away and I went and locked you in a box of course I’m oversimplifying because words are not enough so I’ll shut up I'll say I'm sorry I won't show up Not trying to get what I want I'm exercising no love not trying to get to the front I'm realizing dead love And since your mother can't forgive me won't be at your sister’s wedding
5.	Morning Comm-u-tist 02:45	lyrics	buy track
Soft morning of December with the quiet of the dawn when every engine needs a minute to warm up before they move on the people in the city drive slow on the way in ice caked across the road like diamonds in the deep end and there's a crippling sort of scare when the traffic starts to stop and my head continues rolling but my heart can't help and drop and it'll take several years to parse this out it's been several years without a doubt since a resounding pang ran through my blood but the highway’s blocked and now you're gone Steam crawling through the cage of some sewer and the forgotten pebbles piling up leaves get wet then get rotten vapors rising from the roofs connecting the skylines like some atrium to heaven with these buildings on both sides trucks pile through the lanes smoke rises from their windows they must feel so strange because no matter how far they go their setting stays the same interior perfection even with the changing scenes there's a real lack of connection and it'll take several years to parse this out it's been several years without a doubt since a resounding pang ran through my blood but the highway’s blocked and now you're gone And now you’re gone
