Inland Ocean 

God loves the inland ocean 

Lost cause, I have no emotion 

God loves the inland ocean 

Lost cause, I have no emotion 

 

Flew to Indiana to see a friend 

She was already dust by then 

I needed a walk, I needed a swim 

I flew to Indiana to see a friend 

 

Let me stay here, let me please 

Wrap me up in your summer sheets 

Say you’re never getting rid of me 

Wrap me up and bury me 

And bury me, and bury me 

 

Tell me what to wear, and what to say 

Maybe I’ll turn into you someday 

I needed a walk, I needed a swim 

Flew to Indiana to see a friend 

 

Let me stay here, let me please 

Wrap me up in your summer sheets 

Say you’re never getting rid of me 

Wrap me up and bury me 

And bury me, and bury me 

 

God loves the inland ocean 

Lost cause, I have no emotion 

God loves the inland ocean 

Lost cause, I have no emotion 

No emotion 

 

Everything ends before I want it to 

I needed more time alone with you 

Isn’t there anything I can do 

Everything ends before I want it to 

Everything ends before I want it to 

Needed more time alone with you 

Isn’t there anything I can do 

Everything ends before I want it to 

Before I want it to, before I want it to 

Before I want it to… 

 

God loves the inland ocean 

Lost cause, I have no emotion 

God loves the inland ocean 

Lost cause, I have no emotion 

 

God loves the inland ocean 

Lost cause, I have no emotion 

God loves the inland ocean 

Lost cause, I have no emotion 

No emotion 

No emotion 

No emotion 

No Love

This place has a sinking feeling 

The energy’s so strange 

No one can tell what the difference is  

Between spine and fame 

 

The music’s so unromantic  

Our eyeballs are red and dry 

It doesn’t have anything to do with anything 

The vibes aren’t right 

 

No love, we don’t know how it happened  

Everything we ever wanted 

But no love 

 

Maybe after once in a lifetime 

We’ll figure out what we lost 

But we won’t have any idea where 

Probably somewhere out in the parking lot 

 

This place has a sinking feeling 

The energy’s so strange 

No one can tell what the difference is  

Between spine and fame 

 

No love, we don’t know how it happened  

Everything we ever wanted, but no love 

No love, we keep keeping on without it 

The music’s so unromantic 

No love 

 

We say sorry then 

We laugh it off  

With careful hugs 

And kisses off the cheek 

 

We say sorry then 

We laugh it off  

With careful hugs 

And kisses off the cheek 

 

No love, we don’t know how it happened  

Everything we ever wanted, but no love 

No love, we keep keeping on without it 

The music’s so unromantic 

No love

 

We say sorry then 

We laugh it off  

With careful hugs 

And kisses off the cheek  

Bonnet of Pins

Takes a lot to really disappear  

Always leave traces in the leaves 

Never thought I’d see her here 

Never thought I’d see her again 

 

She sidewinders through the room to me 

With a real cigarette and a Styrofoam coffee 

And she’s still wearing her father’s feather jacket 

She holds out her hands and I stand to receive her 

Trying to remember the last time I’d seen her 

Somehow, she looks younger now 

 

She finishes off my drink and  

Puts on her bonnet of pins and  

Says “I thought I’d find you much quicker than this  

You must’ve thought I didn’t exist. Poor you. I do 

We better go before your boyfriends cry”
 

She says she takes photos of tractor bones  

And sells them to model luxury homes 

The closest thing she’s ever found to love  

Is the kind you can’t get rid of fast enough 

 

She finishes off my drink and  

Puts on her bonnet of pins and  

Says “I thought I’d find you much quicker than this 

You must’ve thought I didn’t exist. Poor you, I do 

We better go before your boyfriends cry”
 

Take the stairs to the bottom where the lights are out 

And I’ll be there with a lighter and a Nabokov cocktail 

Forget the questionnaires and the oral histories 

I don’t care how many times you almost said you miss me 

 

It’s a cup trick shell game, it’s a puff of smoke  

And it gets me every time, it’s a pretty good joke 

I know that you miss me, I know that you miss me  

This stuff takes a lifetime 

 

She finishes off my drink and  

Puts on her bonnet of pins and  

Says “I thought I’d find you much quicker than this 

You must’ve thought I didn’t exist. Poor you, I do 

I thought I’d find you much quicker than this  

You must’ve thought I didn’t exist. Poor you, I do 

We better go before your boyfriends cry”

Frozen Oranges

Fix my breakfast of flavored ice 

Sit outside in the sun with the houseflies  

I could concentrate in a place like this 

In Indiana 

 

Can I borrow your bike for a while 

I need to get some things off my mind 

I think I’ll tool around along the river till I’m lost 

 

There’s frozen oranges in the trees in Indiana, in Indiana 

And crystal apples in the creeks, in Indiana, in Indiana 

 

Put the powder in a metal water bottle  

We’re going swimming in, in a limestone quarry 

It’s Saturday! It’s Saturday! 

 

There’s frozen oranges in the trees in Indiana, in Indiana 

And crystal apples in the creeks, in Indiana, in Indiana 

 

Catch a beetle in my teeth 

And put it an envelope and bring it to you  

It’s not really an animal  

You need to receive something beautiful  

That you can feel sorry for 

Anything other than yourself, that’s what I tell myself 

Put it on a string and take it to a festival, I don’t know 

 

Maybe we should find the place where O’Hara died 

Maybe we can get inside 

Bet you anything he had some secrets 

Bet you anything he kept ‘em in the fridge 

Maybe we should go to church or the hospital 

Maybe we should stop and talk to the cops a little 

Wouldn’t be a bad idea for them to know my face 

 

Frozen oranges in the trees in Indiana, in Indiana 

And crystal apples in the creeks, in Indiana, in Indiana 

 

Put the powder in a metal water bottle  

We’re going swimming in, in a limestone quarry 

It’s Saturday! It’s Saturday! 

 

Put the powder in a metal water bottle  

We’re going swimming in, in a limestone quarry 

It’s Saturday! It’s Saturday! 

Breaking Into Acting feat. Hand Habits

Ever since you were a kid you could cry on command 

Everybody said it’s a gift, you should use it whenever you can 

You can do it big or you can do it like you don’t really care  

Just tell you where 

Turns out almost anyone can do it 

 

It’s a scam 

Always have a cheat sheet in your jacket 

You’re breaking into acting 

You’ll do anything to be discovered  

It’s getting outta hand 

Your mouth is always full of blood packets 

You’re breaking into acting 

Gonna make me a fan 

 

Give you something you can work with  

And you’re gonna make it worth the price of tickets 

You’ve read everything they’ve ever written  

About how to use your eyes to succeed in business  

Let me know when we should start or are we already started? (I don’t care) 

Is anybody there? 

 

It’s a scam 

Always have a cheat sheet in your jacket 

You’re breaking into acting 

You’ll do anything to be discovered  

It’s getting outta hand 

Your mouth is always full of blood packets 

You’re breaking into acting 

I completely understand 

 

You give it all you got, but for the record 

I don’t believe it at all, not for a second 

 

It’s a scam 

Always have a cheat sheet in your jacket 

You’re breaking into acting 

You’ll do anything to be discovered  

It’s getting outta hand 

Your mouth is always full of blood packets 

You’re breaking into acting 

You’re gonna make me a fan 

Nowhere Special

Can we kill the- Can we kill the click? There’s still a little latency situation 

I’ll just do a non-thinking thinking 

I’m already late for the bungalow meeting to explain  

Why it’s been nearly four years since they’ve heard anything  

And now that the time and the money is out or pretty much out 

They feel they should know what this whole thing’s about and I get it  

I’ll slur my city words into the mind grinder microphone  

My skull isn’t soft anymore, it has cracks in it like a floor 

This stuff just leaks out now wherever it wants to in cars with kids  

In front of my brother and sister, let’s just keep going in loops  

 

Cuz I’ve got nowhere to be, nowhere, nowhere special 

I’ve got nowhere to be, nowhere, nowhere special  

I’ve got nowhere to be, I’ve got nowhere to be, I’ve got nowhere to be  

Nowhere, nowhere special

 

 

Don’t make me cry in the back of a black car 

I don’t care where we’re going just keep going and going in loops 

There’s still some kind of low latency slippage  

And it knocks me off my teeth and I get sound-sick and sound schizophrenic  

You know what? I love you for saying yes when you know I don’t believe it 

All that shouting across the pool and all that talk of affection 

I’ll slur your slishy words into my mind grinder kiosk 

So we can spend most of the time going out to lunch against our will  

I found a new way to clear out an old mood 

Why do I let it get to me, go ahead and have another breakthrough, uh huh 

You’ll become an art project in a blue pleated skirt  

Standing on a drop cloth, lift the thing up 

Down goes the blood and down goes my career as a Catholic 

You’re gonna lose your cool if we keep revising this 

Let’s start over, latency’s getting in front of me now 

It knocks me off my rhythm and it messes with my glow 

A bat can haul our recording equipment into the woods 

I know we shouldn’t but I feel like we should 

It’s not a novel on a plane, not an after-party pinnacle  

You know there’s no lust for it in here, there’s no place for lust  

Write it on a baseball until the white skin runs out 

Your life’s entirely optional, we’re going for honesty spirals 

Highlighted oily areas that really rewire your linear melon 

I beg for your attention, I never command it, look at me, look at me, look at me 

I got another new credit card from some Silicon-Valley vulture 

And a vat of Vaseline to slip into our sleepy souls with 

We’ll smear it on a mirror in a queer cursive slant 

We’ll get a shitty hotel where you can open your heart and you can explain it to me  

In a thin red pen on a yellowing leaf 

Are we ever gonna talk  

Are we ever going to ignore it 

The way that you avoid my eyes and how it destroys me 

 

I want to believe in this one little fantasy 

What is it for you because this frazzled my guts 

 

I’ve got nowhere to be 

I’ve got nowhere to be, nowhere, nowhere special 

I’ve got nowhere to be, nowhere, nowhere special  

I’ve got nowhere to be, I’ve got nowhere to be, I’ve got nowhere to be  

Nowhere, nowhere special 

 

In a language of containment we let our lips get electric 

And slide our teeth along the lines we never meant to mention 

Dry mouth take a bow before we compromise to death 

Good drugs and goldfish are the best parts of both of us 

A good chance of rain between patches of sun 

Is one of the all-time greatest weather reports isn’t it 

I guess it goes without saying, it goes without saying 

It’s way too hot to hold hands  

I had to get my nails out of my hair because my dream has all been real 

I’m hung up on you, you know what, we should get away 

I can get you in a pick-up  

I can take you to the house we almost never built by mistake 

We can go camping inside Indian caves 

I can put your legs on my makeup table 

 

I don’t know where to be, I’ve got nowhere special 

I don’t know where to be, nowhere, nowhere special 

I’ve got nowhere to be, I’ve got nowhere to be, I’ve got nowhere to be  

Nowhere, nowhere special 

 

I’ll slur my city words into the mind grinder microphone  

This stuff leaks out wherever it wants to in cars with kids 

Don’t make me cry in the back of a black car 

I don’t care where we’re going 

There’s still some kind of low latency slippage  

It knocks me off my teeth and I sound sick and schizophrenic  

You know what? You know what? I love you 

And all that shouting across the pool and talk of affection 

I’ll slur your slishy words  

I found a new way to clear out my old mood 

Cuz you’ve become an art project in a pleated skirt  

Standing on a drop cloth 

Down goes the blood, start over 

A bat can haul our recording equipment into the woods 

I know we shouldn’t but I feel like we should 

Little by Little

Our mothers and fathers, I guess we forgot ‘em 

Give them a bottle 

Can’t tell what they’re saying, always pacing always praying  

How long they staying? 

 

Seal up the door frame, ten years of white rain 

In comes the water 

Only so much you can take of every day heartbreak 

Little by little 

 

Little by little you don’t come around 

Little by little you go underground 

Little by little 

Little by little come apart at the seams 

Little by little turn into dust and dreams 

Little by little 

  

I don’t really know him, I don’t really need to 

But you should eat what feeds you 

Every tiny ask, every single nibble 

Boy it’ll kill you 

 

Get up to fighting weight, I’m taking you on a date 

Fuck it I can’t wait 

You’re either with me or you’re not, feels like you forgot 

Little by little 

 

Little by little you don’t come around 

Little by little you go underground 

Little by little 

Little by little come apart at the seams 

Little by little turn into dust and dreams 

Little by little 

 

Little by little uh uh uh uh oh oh 

I’ll let you down 

Little by little uh uh uh uh oh oh 

I won’t make a sound

 

Little by little uh uh uh uh oh oh 

I’ll let you down 

Little by little uh uh uh uh oh oh 

I won’t make a sound

 

Little by little you don’t come around 

Little by little you go underground 

Little by little 

Little by little come apart at the seams 

Little by little turn into dust and dreams 

Little by little  

 

Little by little you don’t come around 

Little by little you go underground 

Little by little 

Little by little come apart at the seams 

Little by little turn into dust and dreams 

Little by little 

Junk

Crows, bones and ashes and never-ending roaches 

That’s what I’m betting on as morning approaches 

Windmills and aliens and brown paper straws 

Something’ll save me baby, it always does 

 

You can have me baby, do what you want 

Take me all apart, I’m only junk 

Do what you need to baby, I’m giving up 

I only love you baby, I’m only love 

 

Not getting far here baby, on my back 

Follow me in the car across the train tracks 

Into Indiana I’ll be sleeping there 

Flowers growing in my bones and crows sleeping in my hair 

 

You can have me baby, do what you want 

Take me all apart, I’m only junk 

Do what you need to baby, I’m giving up 

I only love you baby, I’m only love 

Without you baby, I’m only junk 

I’m only love, I’m only junk 

Silver Jeep feat. Ronboy

The last time I tried to write to you  

My thumbs were numb, my sentences residue 

I gotta get a message to you without signals 

 

AC motor puts me right to sleep   

I dream of dreaming and grind my teeth  

I picked up Sprites for both of us at the drive-thru 

 

I didn’t want you to think I knew anything at all 

About the rumor somebody saw you  

Somewhere in the middle of nowhere in a Silver Jeep 

 

All I want is my soul to keep working 

I see the sunlight creep around the curtain  

I’m, I’m not going anywhere near the window 

 

If the guy comes to do the garden  

I’ll leave an envelope by the faucet  

I’m not expecting anything from you though 

 

I didn’t want you to think I knew anything at all 

About the rumor somebody saw you  

Somewhere in the middle of nowhere in a silver Jeep  

Silver Jeep 

I only want you to chase me  

I only want you to rattle my bones and run 

I see you out there somewhere in a silver Jeep 

After me, till you see my lights are gone 

 

I didn’t want you to think I knew anything at all 

About the rumor somebody saw you  

Somewhere in the middle of nowhere in a silver Jeep  

I only want you to chase me  

I only want you to rattle my bones and run 

I see you out there somewhere in a silver Jeep 

After me, till you see my lights are gone 

Silver Jeep 

Silver Jeep 

I only want you to chase me  

I only want you to rattle my bones and run 

The last second before I sleep 

Till you see my lights are gone 

Times of Difficulty

Where is the bread? Where is the butter? 

Can’t you use your beautiful head for me 

How quickly we both can’t remember 

How long we’ve been staring out to sea 

 

In times of heartache get drunk 

In times of tears get sunk 

In times of shame forget 

In times of weather get wet 

 

I’ll think of you if you think of me 

In times of difficulty 

 

When will you call me in for supper? 

I’ve been so high up in the trees 

When can we vanish for the winter? 

When will you kiss me in my sleep? 

 

In times of heartache get drunk 

In times of tears get sunk 

In times of shame forget 

In times of weather get wet 

 

In times of loneliness stay home 

People make you feel even more alone 

When you look at the stars do you see anything? 

Is it anything like what you thought it would be? 

 

I’ll think of you if you think of me 

The way the sky thinks of the sea  

In times of difficulty 

 

Get drunk! Get sunk! Forget! Get wet! 

 

Feels like we missed another summer 

If we’re not dying, then what are we? 

Already dead or under the weather 

How can we tell in times like these?  

 

In times of difficulty 

In times of difficulty 

In times of difficulty 

In times of difficulty 

In times of difficulty 

In times of difficulty 

In times of difficulty 

In times of difficulty
