Knew you were one when
Went quantum on the first date
Cut out all the bullshit
Binary is oh so great
My gravity detected
Your lovin’ unprotected
Felt but couldn’t feel you
Heard but couldn’t see you
Now I wanna be you
Oh baby won’t you be me
We're gonna leave this city
And all the pretty people we thought we knew
Were gonna disappear eh
Couple of Zeros and Oh Yeahs
Oh baby please say you’ll vanish in me.
I wanna happen in you
Synthesize a new cool
Nothing hipper than fools
Almost breaking the rules
You took me out of my mind
And somehow led from behind
Do it fast, make sure it’s risky
I think you know the deal
Oh baby won’t you be me
We're gonna leave this city
And all the pretty people we thought we knew
Were gonna disappear eh
Couple of Zeros and Oh Yeahs
Oh baby please say you’ll vanish in me
Zeros and Oh Yeahs
Zeros and Oh Yeahs
Zeros and Oh Yeahs
Zeros and Oh Yeahs

There’s a game we like to play
You know the rules
You tell me lies, I say OK
A couple of fools
Even fools
Grow tired of games
Seems obvious to me
That settling for second place
Dont beat lonely but free
When did things get manic
Everybody panicked
When did we get so dramatic
Everyone so manic
You offer help
I hinder love
My pitiful breed
Mistakes are what
Make human beings
Grab more than they need.
I loved you more than Diamond Dogs,
Your words matched your deeds
Things fall down so very fast
When good turns to greed
When did things get manic
Everybody panicked
When did we get so dramatic
Everyone so panic
I just wanna fly
Just wanna try
And be a man once
On this dying star we call Home

I met this boy, stole my favourite toys,
And changed my thinking,
I took the call, then took the fall,
The devil’s drinking,
You told me to let go, wo oh
That I’d never feel low wo oh
Innocence start, Laughter filled my heart,
What could go wrong here?
Then you change locks, burn my favourite thoughts,
In at the deep end,
You told me not to tell wo oh etc
Then you sent me to hell wo oh
But I don’t want you to go, I just want you to know x2
Begged you to behave, that I’d change my ways,
Threatened to shoot ya,
You sat and laugh, tearing paragraphs,
Out of my future
You told me not to tell wo etc
Then you sent me to hell wo oh
But I don’t want you to go, I just want you to know...

Life Without Want feels like broken wings,
Heartburn in place of hunger and desire,
Security has put out my fire,
A New Age Goose? What a comical insult,
Outside your window, I see people that matter,
A quiet normal yet everybody's so badass,
Outside my window I see people in tatters,
So much crazy when all matter matters
Ain't no breaks for folks like me x6
Where's my invite to injured parties,
Where's my delight as the focus of pity,
First world troubles are troubles nonetheless
Our time to shine, Normcore is rebellious,
Outside your window I see people that matters,
Excitement grows and everybody climbing ladders,
Outside my window I see people in tatters,
So much crazy if all matter matters,
Ain't no breaks for folks like me x6
Banshee wailing for 16 bars

I sit in silence while you call me lazy,
Knowing it ain’t right but I’m all but crazy,
Homeless & hopeless, one letter divides the
Haves from the have nots, better to stay quiet.
Why did we come this way? I don’t know now x3
You make me feel like I’m an obstacle,
You make me feel like it’s all my fault,
Everyone’s so damn irresponsible,
Except you, you’ve got us all figured out.
You make me feel like its all..........
I feign interest in your life, it must be sad man,
To know all I hears the ramblings of a madman
Behind these walls though, crazy grows like ivy
Just spend one night rough on the streets inside me,
No more strength left to stand but you want me to fight,
The contests rigged and always pre-decided,
Why did we come this way through streets divided
Just let me go back to the unentitled,
Why did we come this way? etc
You Make Me Feel Like Im an Obstacle.....

I don’t know what you’ve been told but
lines are all a blur
Husbands, mothers, brothers, under covers
No one knows for sure
Workin’ living, drinking, thinking
Thanks girl I’m afraid I’ll pass
On the offer to discover
Tassels on your big fat ass
Ain’t nothing proper goin’ on at chicon
So tell your woman to leave me alone
Ain’t got a problem with all the debauchery
But when you do it, can’t you do it without me?
Ain’t nothing proper goin’ on at chicon
So tell your brother to leave me alone
Ain’t got a problem with all the debauchery
But when you do it, can’t you do it without me?
When you do it, can’t you do it without me....
Love so new & open bout how broken
Habits used to be,
Don’t go looking for exits at Chicon
No one’s truly free
Thank you but I’m feeling fine
Ain't got a problem you've been so kind
Truly flattered but if you don’t mind
Don't need someone to lead from behind
Ain’t nothing proper goin’ on at Chicon
So tell your woman to leave me alone
Ain’t got a problem with all the debauchery
But when you do it, can’t you do it without me?
Ain’t nothing proper goin’ on at Chicon
So tell your brother to leave me alone
Ain’t got a problem with all the debauchery
But when you do it, can’t you do it without me?
When you do it, can’t you do it without me?
Ain’t no rhyme or reason
To all of this indecence
Seems like bein’ deceiving
‘s Just the world today
Take me to your pastor
Take me to my mother

Now that my girlfriend, She lets me play ball, She lets me play ball, Cause one love’s so passé ya know Not even natural Shame jealousy is.Did it ever occur to you I’d be sad, Did it ever occur to you I’d be mad, Cause it never occurred to me, I’d be glad you’re gone I wanna let you know, I’m never gonna let you goDon’t overthink itOr understand it, Give in to temptation, Try not to think at all,
Polly Pan baby You’re my one and only But I get so lonely Not to mention horny Did it ever occur to you I’d be sad, Did it ever occur to you I’d be mad, Cause it never occurred to me, I’d be glad you’re gone I wanna let you know, I’m gonna let you go Middle 8 Being good doesn’t make you great, get it together before you fall.

Walking around
Feet an inch off the ground
Lost my breath
The jokes I can feel
But the laughter ain’t real
Is this death
A cry for help
Blurred by hazy Unsettling song
How you can’t see
The sadness in me’s just plain wrong
My Poor little Heart
Is Beating so fast
It just can’t keep up with me
And it ain’t gonna last
Moves faster than light
But stuck here with you
Sweet Clay what’s become of me
Tell me what I should do
Moving so fast
lose more of my past every day
High speed chasin’
there’s no one else racin’ but me
Troubles its comin’ this way
if you’re weak, if you’re strong
Some they will reach for the gun
and others the bong
My Poor little Heart
Is Beating so fast
It just can’t keep up with me
And it ain’t gonna last
Moves faster than light
But stuck here with you
Sweet Clay what’s become of me
Tell me what I should do.
Sweet Clay don’t answer you know I won’t listen
My heart it beats louder than your love’s petition
Sweet Clay don’t answer you know I won’t listen to you
My Poor little Heart
Is beating so fast
It just cant keep up with me
And it ain’t gonna last
Move faster than light
But stuck here with you
Sweet Clay, what’s become of me
Tell me what I should do
