On a Mission 01:20
Open your eyes do you like what you see Do you see and do things that make you happy 'Cuz if you don't and do nothing that's insanity Change the things you don't like that's called rationality So I try to do Make my dreams come true Live a life fulfilled That's why I sing this song I'm on a mission On a mission Don't let anyone tell you that what you like is dumb Who the hell are they and the same could be said for anyone They say you're crazy, I'll tell you what's crazy Living life believing you cannot go I'm on a mission On a mission

It'd been a day a day it was Now a night of nights and just because The Universe decided She was gonna have a little fun Little did I know what She had in store for me Well looking for some flavor something to sweeten the taste Left in my mouth from the gift She laced She led me to her bed right in the sand I was feeling pretty good, like I was about to be had Well then I felt my face clench, my back arch off her land I swear to God I was making fucking glass in my hands And noises that only the ocean could stand 'Cuz She fucked me good Like I knew She could More then I ever felt or thought She would And I moaned and I groaned and I felt I now understood 'Cuz She fucked me good Like I knew She could More then I ever felt or thought She would And i moaned and I groaned and I let Her take all of me Laughing by myself in the sand 'cuz She fucked me good Well out of breath, completely bare Face down ass up laying there A magnificent beauty I should have only stared But I slid my hand under her and felt all those fine things And all up in her gut and by just a fistful of strings I yanked her right over and tried to do what was just done to me But taken aback, unable to play The most beautiful sight that my eyes could be layed I squirmed and I turned She was coming for another round She must have needed to hear that screaming sound 'Cuz She fucked me good Like i knew She could More then I ever felt or thought She would And I moaned and I groaned and I felt I now understood 'Cuz She fucked me good Like I knew She could More then I ever felt or thought She would And i moaned and I groaned and I let Her take all of me Laughing by myself in the sand 'cuz She fucked me good Well I realized it would never end I could stay laid down getting ravaged in the sand But if anything would ever get done It was up to me So I stood up, I ran my hands through my hair I looked up in Her eyes and could only stare And think if this is what it feels like To be one with You I ain't going nowhere If this is what it feels like I ain't going nowhere

My City 02:54
Living in the city is a different kind of pretty The glow of the lights electricity emitting The pulse of the beat of the people in the street But tonight it's just me and my board under my feet So I sing This is my city This is my city This is my city when I'm rolling down the street tonight In the bar with a drink after close when I'm thinking It's time to go home on a road of my own Down Monroe from Acme then up Canterberry I'm swerving and curving while the moonlight is burning Down on my steet This is my city This is my city This is my city when I'm rolling down the street tonight
4.
The Other Me 03:52
I wake up I go right back to sleep To spend more time in the place where I'm the other me It's much better looking and comfortable then right here On this couch So I stay still I don't dare to move Or else I'll lose the only way my path back to you And I won't be able to see or feel you till who knows when Sure ain't me sure ain't me Now it's too late the morning has passed me by This week that makes the seventh time And it's ok, I'd rather spend my morning with you anyway 'Cuz I'm feeling a little lost, I'm missing my crew Like what my body is missing in nutritional value I'm craving something that will actually fill me up inside So tonight I'll be on the sidewalk playing guitar Joined by my dreams and memories And all the people smoking cigarettes outside of this bar So tonight I'll be on the L train back to the house Along with my doubts and the hopes that this time When I get back I won't be locked out So tonight I'll end up passed out back on the couch While my mind is dreaming about All the little things I miss the most The little things I miss the most So tonight when I go to sleep I'll enjoy being the other me Until I wake up And learn that I'm alone With a boner

No Ideas 03:56
Swerve my car into oncoming traffic Make beer can armor with duct tape and strap it On my chest, and shoot me with a flare gun Peanut butter someone's dick all drunk watch them go run These are things I want to do and don't (yeah right) Yeah I just cannot I just cannot say no These are my no ideas (these are my no ideas) These are my no ideas (these are my no ideas) Should I do them no But I can't say no These are my no ideas Use the canoe in the backyard pool Have friends at the house and someone is humping a stool Sprinkles walks in, should've seen his face I know that look, I know he's thinking What the hell they think I just have no Idea what the fuck it is I don't These are my no ideas (these are my no ideas) These are my no ideas (these are my no ideas) Should I do them no But I can't say no These are my no ideas Get your boy out the trash Get your boy out the trash You see your boy in the trash you think what happened to you? You know you wanna help but you don't know what to do Then a car pulls up ahead and the window rolls down Get your boy out the trash man this is the Roc town! Get your boy out the trash Get your boy out the trash There's a spider on your back There's a spider on your back There's a terrifyingly scary Huge extraordinarily hairy Very creepy crawly crunchy looking spider On your back On your back

This past Christmas season was like none I ever seen Packed up my bags and left, kinda pissed off the family Instead of opening presents, and eating up that old turkey I was sitting slurping soba swearing poorly in Cantonese It was a Christmas in Kimono in Kyoto in Japan A couple dozen hours of traveling Then a day after I landed Saw NOFX in Tokyo They played a kick-ass show Ten thousand people or so And it was cool 'cuz I was the tall one I was the tall one It was a Christmas in Kimono in Kyoto in Japan But before that i took some Yoshinoya On the Shinkansen headed to Osaka We lived drank and were baka Karaoke in Tennoji and playing on the streets of Namba Until the cops said no no no You must go go go go go So we walked down the river past all the love hotels There was The Puppy, The Dress, and The Sala del Ray You could get a couple hours or an overnight stay But don't expect a room on Lover's Day because that's actually tradition on Christmas It was a Christmas in Kimono in Kyoto in Japan I have two new asian sisters One named Chico one named Anna (funny story about her name) Formerly Ng Sze Sze And now Ng Ching Bee Because apparently that name was unlucky So when she was thirteen her mom switched up her scene And now she's back in Hong Kong with fat guy Diu nei lo mo Diu nei lo mo Diu nei lo mo Love Diu Diu It was a Christmas in Kimono in Kyoto in Japan Who knew that Yoshie loved jews, gingers, South Park, and gay men Oh and Moano This takes me right back to that night With the moon coming over the mountain A truly unforgettable sight Between the fucking stars And the fucking snow I know neither of us could ever have known That we'd be spending Christmas together in Kyoto That we'd be spending Christmas dressed in kimono Then watch Star Wars with Sabin and Alejandro That we'd be spending Christmas Don Don Don Don Don Quijote Sek sii la lei

Driving underneath the stars at night makes me think all the time About what that even is, and what I'm doing with all of mine And as I lift my eyes I always find it makes me feel right inside And I know you've felt the same thing, you've felt the same thing Just at a different time Time, what the hell is that anyway? Seems like I'm always low on it And it looks like you are too So I guess I'll just have to borrow Time, like no one else you've met before Won't leave you all alone The only one who'll show you right from wrong And be singing with me here tomorrow As I drive down these dark roads There's one truth that I'm always shown That's if you wanna go and gaze at the stars take your eye off the road That's if you wanna go and gaze at the stars take your eye off the road You won't know where you're headed But you know where you're trying to go You won't know how you'll get there But you won't even have to know anyway 'Cuz it's a constant battle (a constant battle) A constant struggle (a constant struggle) A constant battle living life on a road of your own Yeah it's a constant battle living life on a road of your own As I drive down these dark roads There's one truth that I'm always shown That's it's a constant battle living life on a road of your own

Pillman 02:07
SDS delivery for the pharmacy We're the UPS for morphine and other drugs not LSD So hastily we drive through the city to deliver the narcs no problem that's easy But this time a patient looked me right in the eye and said he said Fuck you pillman I don't need you i don't need your meds Fuck you pillman I'm sorry i shouldn't have said Fuck you pillman But I don't need your meds And I'm sorry but I'll have to say it again Fuck you pillman Trapped in my head Steuben county institution fed Enough that when I see you I wanna punch you in your face I can't believe what they tell me I can't believe what I wanna believe All I know is when I see you And your big fat fucking face I think Fuck you pillman I don't need you i don't need your meds Fuck you pillman I'm sorry i shouldn't have said Fuck you pillman But I don't need your meds And I'm sorry but I'll have to say it again Fuck you pillman

I feel you in the air I see you in the room tonight As I looked into your eyes And you looked in mine It only took one second in time To plant the seed inside our minds I know you're thinking what I'm thinking I know we're feeling the same damn thing We just wanna be a little bit closer now We just need to be a little bit closer 'cuz I just wanna be a little bit closer to you And I know you're feeling the same thing too So why don't we there's nothing in the way Nothing in the way I feel you in the air I see you in the room tonight As I look into your eyes And you look in mine It only took one second in time But it bears repeating now 'Cuz I know you're there And you know I'm here And I know you're there And you know I'm here And I know you're there You're feeling the same damn thing We just wanna be a little bit closer now We just need to be a little bit closer 'cuz I just wanna be a little bit closer to you And I know you're feeling the same thing too So why don't we there's nothing in the way Why don't we there's nothing in the way Yeah we're just a little bit closer now Yeah we're just a little bit closer 'cuz I just wanna be a little bit closer to you And I know you're feeling the same thing to See there was nothing in the way There is never anything in the way There was nothing in the way There is never anything in the way There's nothing in the way

Another Day 03:00
They say wait till you wake 'cuz tomorrows another day But my skin is destroyed and my head is the same There's no time to be vain When I can't take care of my main goals It feels like I'm losing control It feels like I'm losing control It feels like I've lost control Just dragging around Pulled by Life's inertia I'm sick and I'm said Don't even have it that bad Oh but I feel the wrath of the obstacles in my path It's like ripping and clawing at a ceiling of glass Or grasping at dirt and making things worse As it falls on my head oh it buries me it buries me It fucking buries me Stopped dead in my tracks I'm screeching right back I'm trying to fight But for now It's good night
13.
No More 02:58
I used to be the only one who could get you started And I'm talking about the key in the ignition yeah R Kelly But I had to leave for just a little bit And let you slip out of my grasp and out my life I ain't gotcha no more No more no more I ain't gotcha no more No more no more I ain't gotch no more No more no more I ain't gotcha no more no more We used to go everywhere We used to see everything We used to curse and we'd swear We used to yell and we'd sing "I Believe I Can Fly" by Me First and the Gimme Gimmes You were my set of wings What was I thinking I ain't gotcha no more No more no more I ain't gotcha no more No more no more I ain't gotch no more No more no more I ain't gotcha no more no more I wished to see you once more I had to go through the snow But there was nobody home But a smashed back window So I went on inside All too familiar to me But I couldn't stay long So I just took the key And now that's all I have left And the fond memories Always dressed up in green My "Chocolate Factory" I ain't gotcha no more No more no more I ain't gotcha no more No more no more I ain't gotch no more No more no more I ain't gotcha no more no more

Let's go play shows together We're a great duo of notes together Driving up and down the coast together Let's go I'll get our stuff Let's go move west together We can't wait 'round for the rest forever I'd say let's play a game of chess together But I know you'd rather not We could sit around and watch Or go boarding around the block Listen to the hum of the highway Or the beat of the clock Makes me think about the times when we thought we had it rough but Boy did we have eachother Then we traveled the world We traveled to shows We backpacked around the state of Colorado Drove across the country in a Suburu And crashed into a Mercedes Let's go play shows together Make Paul's World Famous Dorito's together You know the ones with all the cheese And all the extra stuff that makes people say Boy you must be crazy Let's go on a trip together Then watch the sunset in this joyous weather Then settle by a tree and see everything around Then lie down and marvel whats above We could sit around and watch Or go boarding around the block Listen to the hum of the highway Or the beat of the clock Makes me think about the times when we thought we had it rough but Boy did we have eachother Then we traveled the world Made friends all around Some from the big cities Some from the tiny towns Some from the other side of the world that I Hope to meet again Let's go have a drink together Before you go away to wherever It'll be alright it's just a gap of time before We're drinking again Let's go in a car together We can go to the shows or wherever We can see Braco together And you know life will be good See double rainbows together praise Braco Driving up and down the coast together We're a great group of notes together And I say Let's make a song
