Shall We, Sunshine

You think you got away with it
You’re sure you’re in the clear
I’m going to puncture your sense of relief
I’m going to war with your peace of mind
Bloody deeds done in the dark
Footprints tracked in the mud
I’m here to shine a light in your face
I’m here to dredge the murk from your brine
Let’s take a walk, let’s have a word
Let’s get a room, let’s sing like a bird
Shall we, sunshine
Back at Station number 4
Constable opens up your cell
Final steps to the rope that hangs
Confess your evil, beg for your crime
Let’s take a walk, let’s have a word
Let’s get a room, let’s sing like a bird
Shall we, sunshine

Back In The Barn

Up in the attic in your private pew
Kicking chamber pots freshly filled by you
The staircase streams with warm mountain dew
Sucked up by the rug it begins to cool
Making a mockery of these hallowed halls
Bickering like children in a horses stall
Where your ansesters glare down from the walls
They were shit too, you didn’t have far to fall
You think it’s all part of your charm
But it’s not, I can’t stand you
That’s why I’m back in the barn
Back, back, back, back in the barn
Into the breakfast nook to choke down your bread
Pass the headlines, did you soft sell your dread
After the take you pretend you’re not fed
And while they starve repeat what you said
Slamming doors with your flailing arms
You can leave me be out back in the barn
Back, back, back, back in the barn
The parlour room’s now ready for your receital
Step up to the piano and unleaf the vitals
Flip your coat tails and spit from the bible
Hammer the keys with a bald-faced denial
No one’s gonna come running when you pull the alarm
I sure can’t hear it through the bails of hay
Way out back in the barn
Back, back, back, back in the barn
What we need to do is minimize your harm
Until we can boot your ass off of the farm
Never gonna take you back in to our arms
Unravel every rotten roll of your yarn
Back in the barn
Back in the barn
Back in the barn

Spilt Milkshake

Oh my darling Peggy Sue
I don’t know why I do the things I do
Messed up, restless and confused
Get away so I can’t hurt you
Spilt milkshake
My sweet baby Barbara Ann
Come back when it’s cold if you can
Take as much as you are able to stand
Time for you to find a new man
Spilt milkshake
Spilt milkshake
Oh my sad eyed Maybelline
Never meant to be so mean
You’re better off to break it clean
Start again in your new scene
Spilt milkshake
Spilt milkshake

Pay With Your Face
03:54

Threw it around and it faded away
Watching TV yesterday
All of the things that they want you to buy
They make it so easy today
All of the things that you thought you would need
Things that you just throw away
All coming in through a blue filtered light
Another new product today
Paying some cash, pay with a car
Even some new ways these days
Press on your watch and it’s right there on time
Even can pay with your face
Your soul is empty
You let it run dry
Sunk eyes in the mirror
Are begging to cry
All of the things that you thought you would need
Things that you just throw away
All coming in through a blue filtered light
Another new product they say
All over town now they knew what you’d buy
Another new person today
Trusting yourself to a new kind of you
It’s just getting dark anyway
Your soul is empty
You let it run dry
Sunk eyes in the mirror
Are begging to cry
