so long my lonely friend
goodbye my only love
i will wait all alone in the solar winds
until we fly again
“every cut on the open plain
all the pain in the thundering sky
cannot hide my heart from your angel’s eye
as you watch me from above”
be still your shaking hand
be true your bleeding drum
as you throw your heart to the burning sun
i will watch you from above
so long my lonely friend
goodbye my only love
i will wait all alone in the solar winds
until we fly again
until we fly again

yea
i’m not rolling nowhere without my ball
look at my ball it’s perfect
i might crush in summer but i love in fall
i’m pretty sure winter’s perfect
i’m not playing numbers
i’m painting facts
lie in this light it’s perfect
i don’t mind the present and i like the past
i think that the future’s worth it
i’ll save the best of me
saving the best of me for you
and when you roll back home
i’ll be painting light for you
i make the best i can
doing the best that i can do
there’s something calling me
something’s calling me to you
i’m not making practice
i’m painting hands
look at your hand it’s perfect
i’m not singing fantasy at the sun
i’m not looking thirty
i’m looking one
i’ll save a part of me
saving a part of me in love
and when you roll back home
i wanna be painting here in love
you gotta be better you
i gotta be better me for that
i’ll save the best for you
saving the best of me for you
yea

I'm All Fucked Up
04:33

you little sick thing you had your fun
you hide the dead like you always said you would
baby you can hear the bass and the pounding of the drum
yea you’re gonna bang it out cause the sick’s so good like
you hit the gas yea your heart’s all play
you cut the line baby there’s no more tears
you know some people’d wanna go yea they’d wanna run away
but you’re all fucked up and you wanna stay here with me
you little sick thing you had your fun
you cut the line baby there’s no more tears
you know some people’d wanna go yea they’d wanna run away
but you’re all fucked up and you wanna stay here with me
you started fire and i smashed all that air
dog ate our lunch and you cut off all your hair
never caught the little shit yea we’re never sitting right
still we’re hungry sitting tired in the spanish light
you touch your head now the curl’s all gone
you kiss the breeze yea you never wanna wait
and baby you can hear the call like a whisper in the wind
and you’re gonna see the stars by the time it’s too late
you little sick thing you had your fun
you cut the line baby there’s no more tears
you know some people’d wanna go yea they’d wanna run away
but you’re all fucked up and you wanna stay here with me
i broke the tank and you sucked me right out of it
took a deep breath of that hot spanish fuel
and all the music in this city only made us wanna fight
so we lit up every night and spit the gas back into it
we spit on every stone madrid would let us find
sometimes i trace the stains that you left in my car
and it makes me wanna cry so i write another song
and i knew it all along that you might wind up next to me
and i knew it all along that you might not be no friend to me
i wanna steal every happy thought you have
fucking nickel fucking dime trade them back to you for mine
put my own inside my bag and fly back to new york city again
i caught my car and you hopped right out of it
you chased my dog down some dirty old street
and then you bought yourself some ice and you never found the prick
and now you’re passed out on the ground to the sound of the beat
i got a good love and i feel my love is good
i watch my good god like a movie and i scream
oh my god is in the air i guess i always knew he would be
yea i cut up my god he’s never gonna drip down to me now
i got a nosebleed and my blood tastes like god
i see the spanish stars and i wanna fly away
but babe my body’s on the ground with the dogs outside the pound
and i think i gotta sleep but i’m definitely too fucked up to dream
you little sick thing you had your fun
you hide the dead like you always said you would
baby you can hear the bass and the pounding of the drum
yea you’re gonna bang it out cause the sick’s so good like
you hit the gas yea your heart’s all play
you cut the line baby there’s no more tears
you know some people’d wanna go yea they’d wanna run away
but you’re all fucked up and you wanna stay here with me
you little sick thing you had your fun
you cut the line baby there’s no more tears
you know some people’d wanna go yea they’d wanna run away
but you’re all fucked up and you wanna stay here with me
you’re all fucked up and you wanna stay here with me
you’re all fucked up and you wanna stay here with me

Dancing in the Club

i lost your love today
in a lonely summer breeze
i was dreaming all my dreams
yea i’m my own worst enemy
and i know it’s only cards
but love i feel your heart in spades
while you were dancing in the club
i gave my diamonds all away
i fired off every nerve
inside my lover’s nervous arms
i was counting lucky stars
before i walked out of the bar
and i know it’s only fair
that i should end up all embarrassed
cause you were laughing in the rain
while i was crying there in paris
i’m not crying cause i’m here
but cause i wish that i was there
because i told me not to notice
when i could feel you losing focus
cause i felt that way before
i don’t take echoes in my wind
but a loser never wins
and i’m a loser
always been
i lay down in that street
my favorite city’s artery
and i stared into the moon
like it was staring back at me
and i took my lover’s call
i flew those numbers through the air
and i told me not to care
that i was feeling all alone there
and i sang into my phone
i ate my dinner in the dark
and i fucked up my guitar
while i was fucking up my heart
while i was singing steely dan
crying “shake it” in the wind
yea a loser never wins
and i’m a loser
always been
i lost your love today
in a lonely summer breeze
i was dreaming all my dreams
i’m still my own worst enemy
and i can tell it’s hardly starting
but i don’t wanna pull my hand
and i don’t wanna fold it in
though i can feel your smile departing
and i know it’s only cards
but love i feel your heart in spades
while you were dancing in the club
i gave my diamonds all away
while you were dancing in the club
i gave my diamonds all away

you cried my name and i didn’t hear you cause i went so low
i carried past instead of tending to the presence in my hand
is that love? no
but i didn’t leave i’m a believer that’s my boy limbo
i never knew but i wanna know what’s right for you my love
is that love? yea
you brought me back and i didn’t thank you cause i felt so safe
i held your hand across my eyes and didn’t think about time
is that love? no
i couldn’t see cause i didn’t look and that’s my problem i know
i never knew but i wanna know what’s good for you my love
do you know?
and i didn’t leave i’m a believer that’s my boy limbo
i never knew but i wanna know what’s low for you my love

Where's Your Love Now
06:10
|

|
i said where’s your love now
long after your song is over
when you left me to drink i thought i’d die in my sleep
but i’m healthier now
and i’m happier now
long after our love is over
but you lied me a hole i thought i couldn’t repair
and you didn’t blink
i’m gonna let me be angry
cause i tried to be fine for too damn long
and i guess i should tell you
you can’t seriously think i’d forget those lines
shaking hands i touch words that you said out loud
my crying eyes that could only look down in shame
i don’t think you could know all the shame i feel
yea where’s your love now
long after your song is over
that gas got me so bad that i thought i deserved it
but i’m healthier now
and i’m doing just fine
long after our time is over
but i still wanna cry when i remember your lies
i said where’s your love now
i’m gonna let me be selfish
cause i laid down my life for you all last year
i guess i should ask you
do you even remember the pain you sowed
you can’t seriously think that i’d come back now
i don’t think you should be so proud my friend
you should know that i knew this is why i would leave
saying where’s your love now
long after your song is over
when you left me to drink i thought i’d die in my sleep
but i’m happier now
are you healthier now
long after our love is over
that hole in my chest still wishes you all the best
but i’m healing it now
i wonder where’s your love now

buddy you broke me i wanna go home
clipping my heels flicking wings in the ash
in the morning i’ll cry and you’ll laugh cause you know
i can’t stare out my window lest my angel stare back
look at that forked tongue on you
speaks to my angel wherever i sleep
yea my body goes thump and my heart goes boom
it’d be mighty kind of you to leave them alone
my buddy he bit me i still feel his teeth
and i try to make light but he suffocates love
i stare at my buddy and my buddy stares at me
and i wish i could dream but my angel is there
ain’t nothing like sorry ain’t nothing like a joke
but i’m done singing funny cause i just end up crying
always crying in fire where my angel’s in pain
and my buddy sits laughing at me breathing my smoke
my buddy you broke me i wanna go home
clipping my heels flicking wings in the ash
in the morning i’ll cry and you’ll laugh cause you know
i can’t stare out my window lest my angel stare back
buddy you broke me i wanna go home
i wanna go home

i just got off an aeroplane
i said jesus christ not this again
i said all these cities look the same without you
they look the same without you
i can’t tell what the street signs say
they just point at me and laugh at me
and they tease me dreams of every day i held you
these streets remind me of you
and i don’t know where my past has been
but my future’s been here all along
it’s a galaxy that sings to me about you
the stars all sing about you
and each word is a melody
and each melody is a mystery to me
it’s a secret song they sing to me about you
a song that sings about you
my mouth laughs like a summer breeze
and i feel your laughter shake my knees
all the trees and me and birds just sigh about you
while the music sighs with us too
i feel red while the rain eats days
and the purple mountains call me names
and the beauty of the world sustains without you
but the world’s in love with you too
and i just got off an aeroplane
i said jesus christ not this again
i said all these cities look the same without you
the world just sings about you
a song that sings about you
a song that sings about you
a song that sings about you
a song that sings about you

Two Legs
04:09
|

|
my brother said “i don’t believe in love” to me
and i’ve heard him say the same thing twice before
i hear that pain
i got those wings inside
my hearts so full of pain that i could fly
if you said you wanted two days i’d give you five
and i’d still be alive
ain’t nothing gonna make me cry i will not cry love
if it made life easy for you i would say goodbye
and love if you said you needed two legs i’d give you mine
“i walked away” he said
“i remember every day” he said
my brother said “now boy don’t lose your head”
but i catch him smile, my guy
when i laugh he asks me why
i say “brother i’m stuck up holding in my sky”
cause baby if you said you wanted fire i’d need to pick my stars
i wanna bring you light
ain’t nothing gonna take me down from here without it
if it makes you warmer love then i will burn the night
and love if you say you need a new day i won’t ask why
i tried to stop him but my brother got too high
he said that love’s too much to hold sometimes
and i hold that pain i do
i keep those wings inside
my hearts so full of love that i could fly
oh my love if you said you wanted two weeks you know i’d give you nine
and they’d be yours and mine
ain’t nothing gonna make us cry we will not cry love
if it made life easy for you i would say goodbye
and love if you said you needed two legs i’d give you mine
if you said you needed two legs i’d give you mine

satan gave my wings
to some mother’s son instead
he’s on the other side he’s dead
yea his heart’s all opened wide right now
he won’t go back inside
as the rain is closing in
as his pain blows in the wind
all my pain can do is sing
and i’m singing in my room
drinking blue lights from his dreams
here’s a beat for you and me
from a heart that made it out somehow
and my love sees a star somehow
through the water in my eyes
i pray to satan and god alike
that he’s sleeping somewhere good
satan gave my death
to some kid out in the wings
now he can see his favorite singer sing
yea his mouth is open screaming now
and he doesn’t want to leave
as the band takes clapping hands
he’s gonna watch his favorite dancer dance
as he looks down holds his breath and sees me
crying in my room
drinking blue lights from his dreams
i sing a song for you and me
oh my god i made it out somehow
and my love sees a star somehow
through the water in my eyes
i pray to satan and god alike
that he’s happy with his view
satan took my life
spun around and gave it back
and i don’t know why it came to that
and i will never dream the same again
and i feel all that mother’s pain
every last tear that falls on ice
wondering why my life ripped away his life
there’s a blue light every night
my god i’m crying in my room
drinking blue lights from his dreams
i sing a song for you and me
while she cries he doesn’t make a sound
and my love sees a star somehow
through the water in my eyes
i pray to satan and god alike
she finds happiness like you
cause satan gave my wings
to that mother’s son instead
he’s on the other side he’s dead
yea his heart’s all opened wide right now
he won’t go back inside
as the rain is closing in
as his pain blows in the wind
all my pain can do is sing
satan gave my wings
to some mother’s son instead
he’s on the other side he’s dead
yea his heart’s all opened wide right now
he won’t go back inside
as the rain is closing in
as his pain blows in the wind
all my pain can do is sing

When (in 2040 maybe) an indie rom-com set in 2024 uses this song for the moment when two rugged protagonists come back together in an uneasy but comfortable third act reunion, we will all nod our heads and say "Yes. This is what it was to be alive in 2024--we were so beautiful and so rugged and we loved this song."
