Dig That Hole Again
02:49
|

There was a big-ass fucking spider in the laundry room
And you called me down so that I could squish it for you
So I did, and you cried
And you hugged me with tears in your eyes
You were seven and I was nine
I would kill that bug again, any day
Never thought spiders were cool anyway
When the family cat died one night unexpectedly
I offered to come help bury the kitty
So I did, it was fine
I wasn’t happy but I didn’t cry
You were twenty-three, I was twenty-five
I would dig that hole again, any day
I’m more of a dog person anyway
When we were kids we used to fight and talk our shit
I guess we turned out more alike than we’d admit
We were changing the words to the hymns during church
We were causing a scene in the store
Can’t take us anywhere anymore
I would change those words again, any day
Never liked going to church, anyway

So Far

I’ve been
Alone, alone, alone
Strugglin’
Hormones and phones, hormones and phones
Missin’ you
Think I do
Working through all this dumb shit
Wishin’ you
Were singing to me
I think I like your stupid love song
Like your stupid love song
I see you with no clothes on
See you with no clothes on, with no
I think I like your stupid love song
Like your stupid love song
I see you with no clothes on
See you with no clothes on, with no
You’ve been
Alone, alone, alone, alone
Crying
I know, I know, I know, I know
Missing me
We could be
Getting along together
Could you please
Sing it to me?
I think I like your stupid love song
Like your stupid love song
I see you with no clothes on
See you with no clothes on, with no
I think I like your stupid love song
Like your stupid love song
I see you with no clothes on
See you with no clothes on, with no
// Why // Do // You //
Make it hard
When you’re so far
You make it hard
When you’re so far
I think I like your stupid love song
Like your stupid love song
I see you with no clothes on
See you with no clothes on, with no
I think I like your stupid love song
Like your stupid love song
I see you with no clothes on
See you with no clothes on, with no

Blood Ritual
03:07
|

I was cruising down the road in my Honda civic
When I came upon a scene I thought was quite weird
There was a little boy strapped to a table
Standing over him was a man with a beard
I said “hey man, what’re you doing?
That kid don’t seem like he’s having any fun”
And he said “some dude in the sky’s so rude,
He said I had to kill my first born son” and it’s a
Blood ritual, it’s traditional
Blood ritual, you wouldn’t understand
Blood ritual, with the mystical
We’re washing all the blood right off of our hands
I was walking through the park, when it started raining money
Two families partying up in the hills
Young couple in the middle so happy
Making bonfires out of dollar bills
There were 150 people lining up for the buffet,
so I walked up to some well dressed old man and said “hey,
That looks expensive”, he said “it’s fine,
Wait until you hear about my family line” and it’s a
Blood ritual, it’s traditional
Blood ritual, you wouldn’t understand
Blood ritual, with the mystical
We’re washing all the blood right off of our hands
Make a daily ritual sacrifice
You can do whatever if you dress up nice
Sir, I know you’re worried, but have no fear
We’ve been doing this for thousands of years

I’ve got a plan to get back at you
For all of the things that you’ve done
Things that are so unspeakable
I can’t even write them down in a song
But I don’t even need to elaborate
You know exactly what you did
You’re gonna ask me if I’m joking
But I never kid
I’ve been digging up all the dirty details on you
Every personal or professional blunder
Coming into view
I’ve been connecting with your exes on LinkedIn,
Talking to your neighbors’ moms
Meeting up for pizza and a couple of drinks with your friends from your former job
Scrolling through all the city records
Trying to see what gives
Maybe you over or underpaid by a few cents on your state taxes
Or maybe you said something embarrassing
At a work party years ago
Whatever it is, I’ll figure it out
And then the world will know
The world will know
All of the semesters that you didn’t make Dean’s List
Every single middle school report card’s been sequenced
At the end of the day
Suffice it to say
Nothing you’ve done is safe
From my watchful gaze
I’ve been digging up all the dirty details on you
Every personal or professional blunder
Coming into view
I’ve been connecting with your exes on LinkedIn,
Talking to your neighbors’ moms
Meeting up for pizza and a couple of drinks with your friends from your former job

Chevrolet Cross
04:11
|
|||
Don’t want to give into the numbness
Worship a statue of Columbus
Did I say something wrong?
And they’re looking at you sideways
When you’re cruising in the left lane
But that’s another song
When you see the Chevrolet cross
That your savior Jesus died on
It’s always blocking your way
We’re dummies speeding to the red light
Make the effort for a small bite
What a waste of time
Talk about it like you really care
Water cooler with the vacant stares
Like you did the crime
When you see the Chevrolet cross
That your savior Jesus died on
It’s always blocking your way
If you can make it to our Saturday
The only day you get to live your way
Then you’ll be fine
Try to keep this in your little head
You work for years and then you’re fuckin dead
There’s no overtime
When you see the Chevrolet cross
That your savior Jesus died on
It’s always blocking your way

Closet

Big man hiding in the closet
There’s no way that you can stop it
When you get home he’s gonna jump out and get you, baby
Scary dude living in the basement
It doesn’t matter how you plan for it
When you go down there he’ll be waiting to get you, baby
It’s in my head, it’s in my head
In my head
There’s nobody hiding under my bed
That’s what I said, that’s what I said
And now I’m dead

Oh Sister Please
03:17

Oh sister please
Forgive me
Find it in your heart
To look past all of my misdeeds
Oh sister please
Forgive me
I’ve done wrong to you
When I was a kid
Smacked you on the head
Made fun of your friends
And I regret it now
Now I’m a grown man
Doing what I can
Trying to make amends to you
In the way that I know how
Oh sister please
Forgive me
Find it in your heart
To look past all of my misdeeds
Oh sister please
Forgive me
I’ve done wrong to you
When I was a child
Poked you in the eye
Tried to make you cry
Every change I had
Hit you with a broom
Locked you in your room
Made a great big ball of tape
and I threw it at your face
Oh sister please
Forgive me
Find it in your heart
To look past all of my misdeeds
Oh sister please
Forgive me
I’ve done wrong to you
And I know that it’s not right
This history of mine
Other kids were outside
Playing hide and seek
I was following you around
Calling you ugly
Oh sister please
Forgive me
I’ve done wrong to you

Silicon Valley
03:10
|

Slower than molasses
Fogging up my glasses
Using all my rations
All right
Exercise my small heart
Body like a Wal-Mart
Skipping to the good part
Aw yeah
Love isn’t really around
Like it’s Silicon Valley, we put it in the cloud
Conveniently available, download and out
Until we drop into the next town
Every day’s a Monday
Mean it in a fun way
Go to work and get paid
Yeah right
Taking to the pavement
Asking how your day went
Make another payment
Aw man
Love isn’t really around
Like it’s Silicon Valley, we put it in the cloud
Conveniently available, download and out
Until we drop into the next town
