Let's get away from this city Let's get away from this town Let's get away from the work Let's get away from the things that keep you Let's get away from the hustle Let's get away from the anxiety Let's get away from our bosses Let's get away from the things that we don't need And I don't know what I'm waiting for.. I'm taking my time, I know And I'm stuck in the same place I was years ago So hard just to stay content Wanna get ahead, but haven't yet Where's the progress? Let's get away from the sadness Let's get away from the pain Let's get away from betrayal Let's get away from the things that drive you insane Let's get away from the pressure Let's get away from the thugs Yeah let's try to be better Let's get away from pollution and the drugs And I don't know what I'm waiting for.. I'm taking my time, I know And I'm stuck in the same place I was years ago So hard just to stay content Wanna get ahead, but haven't yet Where's the progress? Snoop Dogg Dr. Dre Smoke Weed Every day And I don't know what I'm waiting for.. I'm taking my time, I know And I'm stuck in the same place I was years ago So hard just to stay content Wanna get ahead, but haven't yet Where's the progress?

Cheekbones 01:29
Paint your nails, I’ll give you a ride. Take the mattress, I’ll sleep outside. You’ve punched my heart in all the right places, bound me up and left me for the tide. Even if you wanted to leave me, I’d never let you go. Two people went for coffee. Two people stayed home. Two people broke up and two people Calmly discussed their relationship. Even if you wanted to leave me, I’d never let you go.

Trying to find some semblance But I can't find another way To say the things I want to you For all those times you walked away I've got nothing left to hold My grip is slipping so it seems Everything that I want Is right outside of my means It's just not right Yeah, what you do I know, I know And it's not what we want it's the way it goes The way it goes Some things are lost and stolen There are these things I just can't hide I've got these pieces missing And there's a hole left deep inside I have these opaque curtains And yeah they're blocking out the light And in the complete darkness It's getting very hard to fight It's just not right Yeah, what you do I know, I know And it's not what we want it's the way it goes The way it goes

Baby Beluga 01:36
Baby! Beluga! Baby beluga in the deep blue sea Swim so wild and you swim so free Heaven above and the sea below And a little white whale on the go Baby beluga, baby beluga Is the water warm Is your mama home with you, so happy Baby! Beluga! Way down yonder where the dolphins play Where they splash and swim all day Waves roll in and the waves roll out See the water shootin' out of your spout Baby beluga, oh, baby beluga Sing your little song Sing for all your friends, we like to hear you Baby! Beluga! When it's dark, you're home and fed Curled up tight in your water bed Moon is shining and the stars are out Good night, little whale, good night Baby beluga, oh, baby beluga With tomorrow's sun, another day's begun You'll soon be wakin' up Baby! Beluga! Baby beluga in the deep blue sea Swim so wild and you swim so free Heaven above and the sea below And a little white whale on the go Baby beluga, baby beluga Is the water warm Is your mama home with you, so happy

Now I see My heads been getting bigger for some time. And I say Promise me you’ll pop it before it gets out of line. I may not be One in a million, but I’m at least one in ten thousand, that’s a certainty to me. But I know Not everybody needs to know that anyway. Where will I go? Half formed thoughts; These will fill the spaces that I’ve made. Do you feel me? Is this a song that touches on what you’ve known all along? Yes I’m ugly, But when I look in the mirror, don’t you know that I’m still smiling ‘cause I’ve still got all my teeth. And that’s all A man from Chilliwack really needs. Where will I go? Where will I go when all these roads are bursting at their fragile seams? And this uniform was crafted in my father’s other dream. Because I know I should be down and out and throwing up my hands, But these words ain’t going to write themselves. All they do is scream where will I go. Where will I go?

Melonhead 01:43
Everytime it comes out wrong. Here’s hoping. Melonhead, you brushed your teeth. Figured how to cut your meat. You’re sexy now, you’re lithified. Go ahead now, you’re alive. Everything looks good for you. Here’s hoping. Oh Melonhead, Things get so much better for you. You were right all along, you just needed a backbone. It was smart to wait, to pick it apart, To stop where you were and go back to the start. Oh Melonhead.

You're looking for something different for that pallet of yours you said you've had everything but now you're looking for more Top of the line, before our time, and it's all gourmet If it's too much of a change, then you don't have to stay Maybe this just isn't for you (you wouldn't like it) You've been searching and looking for that decadence and you got what you want but now you're on the fence. acquired tastes go to waste when it's all said and done if you don't like what you taste don't keep going for fun Maybe this just isn't for you (you wouldn't like it)

Fuck the Environment. Fuck solar power. Fuck recycling. But don’t forget to spay your cat. But don’t kick the homeless. But don’t forget to tip your mailman.

Sword 02:04
Where are you, man? It’s 10:17. Where are you, man? The juices flowing, the minds-a-going. Every time I listen to Brand New, it makes me want to write songs. It makes me want to write Now I know it’s not for everyone. Now I know it’s not for everyone. The perfect blend of random and meaningful.

Drownline 04:12
I think a gun is a musical instrument, painting chords like blood on a wall. I think a brush is a sexual deviant. Raping canvas ‘til it’s orange and purple. I think a comb is a science experiment. Sculpting heads like the Olympus Mons. I think a wig is just a pen on the internet. Boldly going where it don’t belong. Could it be you’re already after me?
12.
Plaid shorts and mustard, That’s all I am to some people these days. But I don’t even try to change their minds. I guess I’m just happy with what I am. Yes, everything will be fine as long as I’m happy with what I am.
