Control

Do I control them or are they controlling me?
If I control them, it means that I am free
When I leave my house, I've got someplace to be
Do I do it for them or do I be it for me?
(Giddy up!)
If I'm just like them then they must be just like me
If I talk to you do you listen to me?
If you're listening now the question's plain to see -
Do I control them do they control me?
I've got someplace to be
I gotta go take a look at this tree
The branches and the leaves
All I want is to know what they mean
I'm dancing to the beat
I don't know I don't care yeah beats me
And I've got someplace to be
Yeah I've got someplace to be
cow
Do I control them or do they control me?
All I need is an answer the question's changing rapidly
Soon now then it's them changing me
Am I alien or am I a weird sheep?
Should I be like them? Opportunity
And try to make friends? All my friends are eluding me
When time and space bend I fold into the truth in me
So when this trip ends I stop thinking delusionally
I'm standing at the tree
I'm exactly where I need to be
And I know just what it means
But I can't tell you just what it means
If they're controlling me
I'm gonna need to see the receipts
If I'm controlling them
I'm controlling them controlling me
I'm controlling them controlling me

Working hard on Sunday
Sleeping in on Monday
When I want to
Then I’ve got to
Plan another fun day
Try to get some sun, hey
Sitting with you
In afternoon, oh
There’s a kiwi bird that’s scratching on the ground
He’s makin’ letters in the dirt that spell out 'lost and found'
You can see me any time if you are down
My time is flexible, my time goes up and down and round
Oh Roni
You don’t have to be so lonely
When your smile makes the air so sweet
All I wanna do is breathe
I really believe
That your arms were made to hold me
Your love is a masterpiece
Promise me you’ll never leave, please, oh, Roni
There’s a never ending ticking of the clock
The speed is changing very often
There’s a hole in my sock
You can call me any time you ever want
My phone is always in my pocket unless it’s lost or off
Roni
You don’t have to be so lonely
When your smile makes the air so sweet
All I wanna do is breathe, oh
I really believe
That you’ll always be the only
One I want all my life with me
You’re my happy family, dearest Roni

When you were in grade school
They said you were a savant
But not a math god like Dennis Levant
And you were never into trains
I’ve always played the fool
I just don’t know who else to be
How to bend your ear to me
And get inside your brains
Ooh wee
You’re a speciality
Dancing on the edge of reality
If only you could see
Lillie 3
Don’t you take that LSD
And don’t you ever forget me
Don’t you ever forget me
You learned to simulate
From the people who act from the heart
They don’t know you're so far apart
But just look at your face
This spectrum is so wide
I see all the colors inside
I’m gonna reach into the divide
And mark just where you place
Ooh wee
You’re a speciality
Dancing on the edge of reality
And you’re so real to me
Lillie 3
Don’t you take that LSD
And don’t you ever forget me
Don’t you ever forget me
Yes honey
Break out the Korbel
If it’s fake I know they can’t tell
If it’s fake I know they can’t tell
Yes darling
You got the light
I think the time is right
And I’m a creepy old guy
I’ve always played the fool
I just don’t know who else to be
I wish you’d dance with me
Lillie 3
Don’t you take that LSD
And don’t you ever forget me
Don’t you ever forget
Lillie 3
Don’t you take that LSD
And don’t you ever forget me
Don’t you ever forget me

Cool Stuff
03:35
|
|||
I’m thinkin’ of a color, what does it mean
I’ve got some water in my canteen
I’m thinkin’ of a number, what could it be
My favorite number’s always been
Three figures, shadows lit by the deep blue sky
Beyond the starlight
Walking visions giving shape to a brand new life
We’ll make it this time
We’re gonna make it
We’re gonna make it this time
We’re gonna make it
We’re gonna make it this time, this time, just
Tell me what you want from me a
Little bit of love
Little bit of peace
Little bit of hope
Little bit of dreams
All these things I give for free, I’ll
Give you what you want
Show you what you need
Come into my arms
Spend some time with me
I got cool stuff at my place
It’s a mess, it’s a disgrace
I got lots of things to do
I think I’m in love with you
I think I know that I am in love with you
I always think of you
I’m in love I always gotta think about you
I’m thinking of a feeling, how do I feel
My mind’s still reeling from what’s not real
I’m thinking of a letter I wrote to you
I’d write it better if only I
Could you turn and cast the stars to the earth, my God
Gravity’s so hard
All is changing I wrote our names in the dirt I think we’re
Doing well so far

Star
03:10
|

I’ve been subject to object and abject rejection
Got a sublet for sublate to ablate injection
I’m an insect in substrate who debates infection
Triple midsection mandate for a great inflection
I love absinthe and ice cubes and sugar confection
I play bad synth and bend rules and uphold defection
Forced fire in the west and girl
I saw your self destruction
Of course I’m gonna mess that swirl
I’m gonna melt me induction
I never wanted roses
All I wanted was a chrysanthemum
The star that I have chosen it’s so obvious
The sun
Star
The sun
I love sunlight and moonlight and love and the ocean
I love starlight and forests and forces in motion

Last Summer
04:10
|

Last summer was the one when all the world stood still
We had a good time
We had a good time
We partied hard and then we took a little pill
Didn’t go down quite right
We looked inside ourselves to find a compromise
It was a bloodbath
It was a good laugh
I tried to tell you everyone was gonna die
Shouldn’t have done that
But that was way back
You look pale in the sunlight
I’ll bring you the moon
To make you bright
Last summer vampires microchipped everyone’s veins
Sat back and waited for the money to bleed through
You would’ve thought that they would put them in our brains
But then again, they didn’t need to
We looked outside ourselves said ‘this must be the place’
It was a big joke, it was a new hope
The TV said that they were going into space
Leaving the world behind
And you look red in the moonlight
I’m sure that it’s just a mosquito bite
You look strange in the mirror
Take a selfie, I’ll see you clearer
Last summer was the one when all the world stood still
We had a good time
We had a good time
It rained champagne when they were spilling for the kill
Champagne tastes so nice
Last summer was the one when it all broke apart
I mostly try not to mix politics with art
But it’s so hard

Interloper
04:48
|

Yep
Uh huh
There is something wrong with me
That's right
You know it
Bet
You ever hovered in the corner of a social situation
Feel like they all wish that you would take a big vacation
From their lives, you’re uninvited
And so you shy away
When it’s your t-turn to talk do you ever start to stutter
Up against the wall at parties like a cliffhugger
Why am I here, it seems so clear
No one wants me around
And I wish I could connect to you
And I mean no disrespect to you
And I, I’m an insect to you
I’ll dissect the truth, there’s no way around it
I know you know it too
I’m an interloper
Living on the edge
Dying on the inside out
I’m an interloper
Creeping on the net
Really scared to leave my house
Cause I’m an interloper
I’m pretty sure you hate me
Don’t really wanna find out
I’m an interloper, interloper
I am an interloper
Sitting at bars and pretending to read cause it’s the only way to get someone to talk to me
Whatcha reading?
Oh it’s just a book
Hey that sounds cool can I take a looK?
No you can’t go away
I came here to be alone
I just think this looks cooler than staring at my phone
Staring at my phone (4x)
And I wish I could be your friend
But I’ll spare you the awkwardness
And I will never see you again
What’s the use, why pretend
I’m never gonna fit in
I’m an interloper
Saying the wrong thing
Making everybody cringe
I’m an interloper
They’ll never understind
That I’ll never understind
Cause I’m an interloper
There I go again
Ranting about Steely Dan
I’m an interloper, interloper
I am an interloper
I know everybody is just pretending to be nice to me
They’re trying to be polite
But I’m sure they despise me
If I went back in time
I’d make everyone like me
Make everyone like me
Make everyone like me
Make everyone like me
Like me
Like that I’m an
Interloper
Living on the edge
Dying on the inside out
Interloper
I feel like a mess
The kind that you could do without
I’m an interloper
I don’t wanna talk
I just don’t really get how
Interloper, interloper
I am an interloper
Life’s so beautiful

Planes are Fun
02:08
|
|||
I was watching a plane a-flyin’
Up above me so high in the sky
Time flies when you’re having fun
And planes are fun, so they fly in the sky
I was thinkin’ bout time dilating
All the slow and fast time that I’ve spent
Waiting for you
Oh what else could I do
And planes are fun
They’ll take you anywhere
I’ve been thinkin’ bout a place to soar to
I’d call it my home, and never be lonely
There’s a million different planes to board
I’ll never be bored, if you’re here to hold me
I was watching a plane a-flyin’
From up there I must look like a dot
Though I know that I’m not
I’m a human person
And planes are fun
But you are the most fun
Planes are fun
But you are the most fun

Behind Ourselves
03:39
|
|||
There’s no sense behind the things I’ve said to you
They’re so abstruse
They’re just drawings I made in my head
My head
Your head
Their head
Let’s not get ahead of ourselves, oh
Let’s go behind ourselves instead
Instead
There’s no difference in the differences we see
Between you and me
It’s the same differences all around
Around
Around and round
Let’s not get ahead of ourselves, no
Let’s go behind ourselves instead
Instead
There’s no question that the answer lies in you
That much is true
But I’ll still ask again one more time
More time
I need more time
Let’s not get ahead of ourselves, oh
Let’s go behind ourselves instead
Instead

Once
04:37
|

Once I was a speck in a test tube
They told me “we don’t have the best news”
Of course as young as I was then
I understood
Now I’m real successful and famous
You don’t have to ask what my name is
The first trick to playing the game is
Just be good
Good night moon
Good morning sun
One is two
Three is one
I’ve got all kinds of problems
And I’ve got what it takes to solve them
Get ready for the first test
You gotta dance
Plot your limbs like a constellation
Let your brain go on vacation
Go get lost in losing it
It’s called a trance
Good night sun
Good morning moon
I’m right here
I’ll be there soon
Are you ready?
Are you ready?
We'll be there soon
Soon
Rise and shine
Just be
Shine and rise
Be just
If you’ve had the luck to have met me
I just wanna make sure you get me
The last thing I want’s to be misunderstood
I’m made up of flips and reverses
But I can’t say what my curse is
Thanks so much for listening
I hoped you would

Star, Triangle

Star, triangle
All the angles of my love for you
Far I dangle
Jingle jangle, the keys to what’s true
I’m spinning in a circle, don’t wanna be a square
Jumping over hurdles, the turtle’s over there
And if I’m a hare then I don’t care
But I’m not, I got dog hair
Parallelo oh gramma
I just can’t stand much more of these creepy drugs
Well oh well oh I am what
I am I don’t give a damn but, but I’ve become the rug
I’m rotating clockwise, don’t wanna make a scene
I’m feeling like a child, who knows what that could mean
And if I’m a child I wanna grow and grow and grow and love you so
Star, triangle
All the tangles of a geometric web
Far I wrangle
Starry spangles in the depths of my head
Star, triangle
All the angles of my love for you
Star, triangle
Triangle
La la la la la Lou
