He Thinks He Owns You

He thinks that he owns you
and tonight he's loaned you
but he's got it wrong
I wake you with your name
He must have never known you
you're a breeze that blows through
one note in his song
how hard is it to provide for appetites
that don't amount to very much
you need love and you could live in deep dark woods
or run with wolves and
you are free, I get it, I get it
you chose me, I get it, I get it
you're talking with your eye
and you're asking why
you're not in his yard
I calm you with your name
I know you like your new bed
a tender pat on your head
erases all the scars
I can sing you stories by the kitchen sink
you're stretched out in sunbeams on the floor
a bearded man is talking on the radio
to keep you company when I go
you are free, I get it, I get it
you chose me, I get it, I get it
Ruby Ruby don't take your love to town
someone will see you there
he's put signs up all around
run away run away run run run away
run away run away run run run away
I sing these sounds to celebrate the day that you escaped
I'd sing your tribute here, too high for any man to hear

Sure Am A Trainwreck

blowin up and built to break
hey security, hey security
glass ceiling in the last earthquake
I hit maturity, hey, maturity now
screaming bombs rain on the lawns
It's kind of landscape art
the snake ate its tail 'cause you lost a rib
and I'm falling
I'm falling in love as I'm falling apart
lights out, jogging to get cigarettes
top down the interior's already wet
lights out, I'm missing at Russian roulette
I keep rolling but I sure am a train wreck
celebrity for wrecking the game
hey Leeroy, Leeroy Jenkins
each embarrassment is a gift of fame
your stayin', stayin' for detention
the last gasp of a falling piano
it kind of makes the song
the greasy meal, the squeaky wheel
yes master, yes it's a masterpiece
a masterpiece cause you did it all wrong
roll down the rim to win
please play again
lights out, jogging to get cigarettes
top down and the interior's already wet
lights out, I'm missing at Russian roulette
I keep rolling but I sure am a train wreck

Anything You Want
03:44

what could have been if it hadn't have been
for the voices of dissent ringing in my head
me and the hippies were the only people who
believed emphatically what my mother taught to me
she said
you can have anything you want
you can have anything you want
God is love said the voices from above
he is also plenty of these blips of mania
a darker ride when the voices move inside
and shout down any joy
the party is destroyed
you can have anything you want
you can be anyone you want
you can have anything you want
you can be anyone you want
here comes the cloud across the sky
there goes the twinkle in my eye
here comes the crowd inside my head
here comes the shadow of the wave
crashing down and washed away
and these boots are made of lead
this blanket is wet
but I can hold my breath
so you go on ahead
you can have anything you want
you can be anyone you want

Game Face On
03:54
|
|||
|
we're syphoning gas out of the old school bus under the streetlight
then we're doing some crimes weaving over the line in the moonlight
ten murders on the 8-bit road
then we unlock the hot coffee code
grand theft surreal
I got my training wheels to try on how this feels
Ya I always got my game face on
what can I put my trigger finger on?
and I smile when I'm doing wrong
Ya I always got my game face on
I'm inside the cartoons and there's only one use for a ballpoint pen
wrote down the cure for cancer but I left it in my pants and my mom washed them
from the 'burbs into Liberty City
from nowhere to somewhere less pretty
my home smells like the country
but the city smells like rock n' roll
Ya I always got my game face on
what can I put my trigger finger on?
I crack a smile when I'm doing wrong
Ya I told you got my game face on
run run run
my lack of morals is a point of pride
laying rubber in a stolen ride
I'm losing losing track of time
losing losing track of time

High
04:16
|
|||
|
all the hangers on have left
or collapsed like laundry bags
sweet exhaustion second hand
a season in hell in a seasoned band
peel the grapes, palm fronds are fanned
alone at the top of the strangest clan
only you to understand me
you and a sharp knife always handy
exile in my own skin
at two a.m. my day begins, then ends then begins
I'm High as a cloud to get me through
I walk through walls cause I have you
and I guess you have me too
from outside the darkness grows
inside my blood it glows
with stars and polished steel
I dreamt a song so real
it was “Satisfaction”
I got twelve hours to shake some action
when I woke up they were torn and frayed
cats from the alleys around Marseilles
I'm High as a cloud to get me through
I walk through walls cause I have you
and I guess you have me too
I'm High yes I'm high it's true
I walk through walls cause that's what I do
but I guess you have to do what you have to do
exile in my own skin
when does my day begin, and end and begin
I'm High as a cloud to get me through
I walk through walls cause I have you
and I guess you have me too
I'm High yes I'm high it's true
I walk through walls cause I have to
but I guess you have to do what you have to do
I need more than love
I need more than love
I need more than love to keep me happy

Party Party Party

the crowd laughs as she sings her song
how can something right feel so wrong?
she loses to the ditzy vixen
we all love a good crucifixion
the ring of lights makes your skin so smooth
you get help with every word you choose
you've been dosed, why don't you fight it
you might think, you might think you like it
hey if you've got nothing to say then sing it baby
oh ya, hey ya celebrate it
party party party party
hey if you've got nothing to say then sing it baby
oh ya, hey ya celebrate it
party party party
If you think too deep you'll drown
too many syllables just make sound
I think therefore I'm breathless
integrity's next to deafness
the greasepaint it runs in streaks
as red and purple tears track down your cheeks
until the server fails this is history
you kept your friends but lost your dignity
hey if you've got nothing to say then sing it baby
oh ya, hey ya celebrate it
party party party
what can I say that ain't been said before?
what can I say to win your vote?
in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 notes
It's lighter than air inside me
It's lighter than air in here
It's lighter than air inside my head
hey if you've got nothing to say then sing it baby (it's lighter than air inside me)
oh ya celebrate it (it's lighter than air in here)
party party party (it's lighter than air inside my head)

Maybe Is Glorious
02:59

She gives him what he wants
but never quite enough
so he keeps crawling back
and feasting on the crumbs
one day she might need him
so he is hanging tough
she said maybe
it was glorious
she said maybe
and it's all he needs
the possibility of love
he says to himself
there's hope in disappointment
he wants to scream
but he lives in a small apartment
she left her lipstick on the cup
and he can't stare at it enough
she said maybe
it was glorious
she said maybe
and he's holding out
the possibility of love
how long’s right to hold out hope
every day I read her horoscope
she said maybe
it was glorious
she said maybe
and he's holding out
the possibility of love

mat the sucker and blow through the red lights
flying tool shed all polished and bright white
a dozen close calls on the way to a bloom of despair
half the cars don't bother pulling over
for the paramedic amphetamine chauffeur
crisis to crisis and my passion's ignored
sweeping through a sea of the self absorbed
took a long time to get to "I don't care" but I’m there
took a long time to get to "I don't care", say where?
took a long time to get to "I don't care"
but I’m finally there
worry is a waste of imagination
so I daydream driving to the conflagration
and I try to find beauty in what I am about to receive
I've seen the apocalypse in bits and torrents
used the jaws of life and other oxymorons
and worked so hard to get where you don't want to be
took a long time to get to "I don't care" but I’m there
took a long time to get to "I don't care", say where?
took a long time to get to "I don't care"
but I’m finally there
drive and drive into the heart of hurt
took a long time to turn my love into work
drive and drive into the heart of hurt
took a long time to turn my love into work
took a long time to turn my love into work
took a long time to turn my love into work
took a long time took a long time took a long time
took a long time to get to "I don't care"

Cardboard Box of Dust
04:02
|

rain in the woods and crimes of passion
upload in between the constant crashing
immortality on Golden Pond
we will last as long as the power's on
views they come in twos
Noah's arc refused
not allowed to rust
a cardboard box of dust
a poster of a kiss in the clouds
everyone is home
together and alone
I'll keep a part of me for you
I can levitate to a lesser state
slide shows with your ghost, I navigate
to flickers of your face with tags and dates
and candid party blurs that pixilate
making up the truth
in Cinderella shoes
not allowed to rust
a trophy under dust
I'm burying my doubts in booze
everyone is home
together and alone
I'll keep a part of me for you
I can talk to you
not much to confide
every secret’s out
so I don't go outside
I'm spinning all day long at the altar of my youth
I can never miss what never goes away
there are a billion floats the same in this parade
and we go on
and it flows on
campfire in the hills, you speak of her
animate with words as your memories stir
your love thrown high into the waiting sky
not allowed to rust
and never gather dust
I'm walking out on ice with no shoes
everyone is home
together and alone
I left a part of me for you
for you

Ghost Bike
03:18
|

the town's luck has changed cause the shovel struck oil
skyline’s rising and the fringe goes gray
sun lies down at the dark end of town
where the old school fell, the bank is a shell
eighty seven you can see it in my face
pedaling west a dull pain in my chest
the chain needs oil and these old wool pants
furl and flap in the turbulence
I hate to let you down
I hate to let you down…
don't hear birds the way I used to do
blew out my ears back in '42
I was home on this range then traffic changed
muddy half tons born to hit and run
the crash is masked by local power tools
my bike is all bent and thrown up on the lawn
beside the Safeway, red aprons on
they're throwing out the flowers that nobody bought
I hate to let you down
I hate to let you down…
jack rabbits in the parking lot
coyotes at the last bus stop
and the sun’s gone down
once I lay in the mud for days
in sheets of rain and a gun smoke haze
and I sang the phrase
I'd hate to let you down boys
I'd hate to let you down
this green and wild tundra and shield
ground up and spat out like the battlefield
that I never wanted to see again
I never wanted to see again
but now I can ride till the wasteland ends
now I can ride till the wasteland ends

Sloan breaks absolutely NO new ground on their newest record. And I couldn't care less. Because when the songs are this good, nothing else matters. This kicks ass.
