Get Enough

We wanted proof
Settled for a tease
We put up a fight
Swingin at the breeze
To get enough
Waited on the summer
We're headed for a freeze
Tried to take a seat
They put us on our knees
To get enough
Just to get enough
Some will take a lie
Sell it like a drug
Some will tell the truth
Some will mix it up
To get enough
Just to get enough

Back With My Boys

I waited in the car
From Mother through The Trial
And that's a double album
Felt like a dog
At the mall
In a recall black comet
Turn the music up so loud
Make all the fools proud
And forget you in the noise
And get back with my boys
We used to be so bad
When time was all we had
We had the world between our fingers
Now you have left me cold
In this moment I feel old as the stars
And your perfume lingers
Now true though they may roam
All dogs find a home
In the spirit of survival

Innocent

Listen to the kid
So cool and full of shit
Calls another boy
Forced to chew his tongue
Imagining a gun
Boy that aint no toy
Can't believe in love
There's never been enough
Won't lose if he don't play
Quit today if only
Listen to the man
He's there because he can
And we got him for a song
Now there's talk but there's no sing
Mouths the words to things
If it helps him get along
Can't believe in love
Can never be enough
Won't lose if he don't play
Quit today if only
It's never safe for no one
To always feel below them
You swear you're gonna show them
You're innocent you know
Can we believe in love
Am I giving you enough

Wide Eyed
The dinosaurs used to rule this town
Til nemesis came and vacated the crown
Then a million years of iridium silt
Buried the houses that nature had built
If the sun explodes
Just stare into the gold
Wide eyed
Reason was slow, capacity to learn
Set history's course on a radical turn
Most creatures could mumble but humans could sing
They put themselves above all living things
All living things
When the sun explodes
Just stare into the gold
Wide eyed

All I posted was a photograph
A fragment picture of you
Now who's this sucker playing polygraph
All caps to claim it ain't true
I'm about to give out on this scene
Nothing here but debris
I'm about to sell out on my club
You didn't hear it from me
Cuz we don't know jack
We don't know shit
The makeup's too thick
On the face of it
I don't know anyone
Who can tell me what they mean
We don't know anything
We don't know anything
All I posted was a measly graph
Science knows what to do
The faithful are funny yeah they make me laugh
But they won't resole my shoe
