your four wheel travel box much like a horse
to move you through country you can stay of course
and we're building some bridges to cover the land
out on the porch you can lay down i'll stand
and we all can go back so we'll get to the fo(u)rth
and someday together we'll make our way north
where it's winter
and it's snowing bc we are showing
up for what's living and real
neurotransmit reveal
sharing the steering wheel
teamwork automobile
roads that the maps didn't mean to forget
hiding from view behind nature and yet
we've uncovered some routes that the robots can't set
we both went halfway before we even met

i'm gone when you're gone
two rights make one wrong
i'm gone when you're gone
i'm wrong, yeah, i know i'm wrong
i didn't mean to make up all those mean things that i said
it's just the sort of thoughts the alcohol puts in my head
that's no excuse
and i'm willing to wait a while
but not too long
im killing the time no matter what the hour is wrong
and we're probably getting more
against my better judgement
where is my better judgement
it's long gone
i'm gone when you're gone
two rights make one wrong
i'm gone when you're gone
two shorts and one long
i didn't mean to speak up all those mean things that i did
it's just the sort of impulse i resisted as a kid -
what's your excuse?
and i'm willing to wait a while
but not too long
im killing the time no matter what the hour is wrong
and we're probably getting more
i'm gone when you're gone
two rights make one wrong
i'm gone when you're gone
i'm wrong, yeah, i know i'm wrong
against my better judgement
against my better judgement
where is my better judgement
where is my better judgement

it's the same old shit
it's the same old shit we never get used to
and forever and always
we'll fall back on our old ways
it's the same old shit
it's the same old shit we gotta get used to
but it's alright it's ok
I'm already on the way to find you
it's the same old shit
it's the same old shit we never get used to
but there's more now
and it's probably getting to the point
where i'm ok
it's the same old shit
it's the same old shit we never get used to
and forever and always
we'll fall back on our old ways
so don't ask me
how i'm doing
i swear my bolts aren't unscrewing
i'm stamping out my evils as they rise
and my heart should,
ya know, it should still be in it
but the cost outweighs the benefit
so I'll play you out with this same old tune
it's the same old shit
it's the same old shit we never get used to
and forever and always
we'll fall back on our old ways

it's dangerous, it's dangerous for you
staying out,
the drivers on our roads are
swerving in and out of reality
in a downpour and
getting wet
some accidents
you don't forget
endanger us:
we haven't lived too much
there's stranger shit out there than me and you
they staged a bit where
politics and other tricks were
raged, it was nothing new
it's dangerous, it's dangerous for me and
now we're used to shit like this
it used to be a little bit better
it's dangerous, it's dangerous for me and you
we're getting used to it
there's stranger shit out there than me and you
it's dangerous, it's dangerous for me and you

the little toy gun bullet train
made her way to spain, proclaimed
"I'm gonna use my brain and break the binders
and then turn the chains
to my left and right
if it takes all night
gonna come to you,
gonna show you how i've
grown, and gained a couple lesson,
tribulations and possesions
little train, she knows she's got a
ways to go; she'll be on time so
shine your buttons, tie your laces
pick out debris stuck in your braces
yes, i've mopped a couple messes
not far from your drunk confessions
yes, i'll dry your bib, but reckon
this is the last time, count your blessings
she said, "I'll do whatever
I have to
to show I've learned a lot, yeah
more than you
and i would like to stop"
i know enough now
i know too much now
round and round gonna bring em back down
(and I would like to unknow some things)
get flipped by a rodeo clown
pound for pound the old whistle sounds
i'm here but i'm headin out now
round and round gonna bring em back down
(and I would like to unknow some things
if that's possible at all)
get flipped by a rodeo clown
pound for pound the old whistle sounds
i'm here but i'm headin out now

hey shannon, why do you look so sad today?
gee gavin, there's all the time in the world
but i feel like it's going to waste
well now, what would you rather be doing on a hot summer's day like this?
oh i dont know, perhaps just laying about and trying to cool off
no no, now that's not the way to be
the beauty of a hot summer's day is to find out
what else you might be able to do
something else?
yes! here, imagine this:
in the middle of the heat you take a dive in the atlantic coastal sea
and meet a starfish
he tells you, take my hand, and let's swim in the reef
and discover new lands!
oh, i get it! i just need to use my imagination
well when you make the days sound so exciting like that,
i think i'm feeling better already
That's the spirit! as long as you are imagining a day you love,
you can spend the whole calendar chasing your dreams!
yeah i guess so! hey, gavin, would you
like to go to the beach today?
why of course, shannon! now,
we won't be meeting any talking starfish,
but quiet ones will do!

there's something in changing the calendar
and throwing the old one away
there's magic in changing the calendar
in a happy fresh start kind of way
let's make it a brand new year today
let's make it an unspoiled day
let's make it a brand new year today
i'll stay until you feel ok
tear the months off and hide them
tear the weeks off and hide
take your fears out inside them
let some time fall aside
let's make it a brand new year today
let's make it an unspoiled day
let's make it a brand new year today
i'll stay until you feel ok
there's only so many hours
they're not yours but they could be ours
there's something in changing the calendar
and throwing the old one away
there's magic in changing the calendar
in a happy fresh start kind of way

Here's a song about Jelly Man Kelly
He loves jelly the most
Ah but most of all Jelly Man Kelly
Loves jelly on toast
Here's the part about Jenny Mulhenny
She's the fireman's daughter
Ah but most of all Jenny Mulhenny
Loves to boil hot water
So Jenny put the kettle on
Jelly Man Kelly can he come home
Jenny can he come
Oooh can he come home
Jenny can he can come home
Jenny can he come
Lalalalalala doo doo Papa
Yodalehoo
Do fo faam
Yaka yaka yaka yaka
Huh uh no
Oooh can he come home
Jenny can he can come home
Jenny can he come
That's the story about Jelly Man Kelly
He sure loves jelly
And maybe someday you an me friend
We can have tea with him
One more time!
Oooh can he come home
Jenny can he can come home
Jenny can he come

which truth are you willing to lay down?
which hill are you willing to die on?
cause it's going to come back around
which hill are you willing to die on?
which truth are you willing to lay down?
which hill are you willing to die on?
cause it's going to come back around
so if you find it, let me know!
which hill are you willing to die on?
which truth are you willing to lay down?
which hill are you willing to die on?
cause it's going to come back around
smokin on a saturday; the leaves have turned.
brainsick from tooth decay;

so if you find it let me know!
which hill are you willing to die on?

if im gonna write a song it's gonna be
the best damn song about you
and no, i havent drank a drop
last we emailed
and you'll hate me
if that's a lie
if im gonna see the stars on the fourthofjuly
you know im
at the heart of the lonleiest celestial
and i know you're sittin' watching fireworks
from your backyard
cause ya said so
in an email
a few days ago
and the bass of a roman candle cracker
muddies up the mix that i send to you
at least you know that the
intention was true
---
there were spiderwebs and fountains!
there were spiderwebs and fountains
in the sky above
so i saw spiderwebs climb mountains,
saw those spiderwebs climbing mountains
before they died
gonna see you too,
before we both die
red white and blue:
how are you?
red white and blue:
how are you?

and there was the river
conveniently near the house
and then there's the tunnel
behind the playground at home
these are some places that i think
are pretty nice
then there's the view from the hill -
that's the road that guy died on
then someone probably will
mention the park, which park
places with people
some are better without
the pools we broke into
the roads we wore out
these are some places
that i think are quite nice
I wouldn't even mind
going back to them twice
and i'd bring you along,
bring you along
this time
but the places have people
cause you can't go without
we'll move out of our heads somehow -
though, i do have my doubts
gonna bring you along with me
to the places i think are pretty nice
i think are pretty nice.
