• CHLOE IN THE AFTERNOON

• You’re all legs I'm all nerves black lacquered horse hair whip
  By your heels heal my hurt horse hair whip be your floor
  Chloe in the afternoon Chloe in the afternoon
  Chloe in the afternoon Chloe in the afternoon

  No kisses no real names no kisses no real names
  Who will hear hear your word ring ring phone send you home
  Find my heels heal my hurt white, white shirt back to work
  Chloe in the afternoon Chloe in the afternoon
  Chloe in the afternoon Chloe in the afternoon

  Chloe in the afternoon Chloe in the afternoon
  Chloe in the afternoon Chloe in the afternoon

  Chloe in the afternoon Chloe in the afternoon
  Chloe in the afternoon Chloe in the afternoon

• CRUEL

• Bodies can’t you see what everybody wants from you
  Forgive the kids for they don’t know how to live run the alleys casually cruel
  Cruel

  Bodies can’t you see what everybody wants from you if you could want that too
  They could take or leave you so they took you and they left you how can they be casually cruel
  Cruel
  Cruel
  Cruel

  Bodies can’t you see what everybody wants from you if you could want that too then you’d be happy
  You were the one waving flares in the air so they could see you
  And they were the zephyr blowing past you blowing fastly so they can’t see you
  Cruel
  Cruel
  Cruel
  Cruel
  Cruel
  Cruel
  Cruel
  Cruel

• CHEERLEADER

• I’ve had good times with some bad guys
  I’ve told whole lies with a half smile
  Held your bare bones with my clothes on
  I’ve thrown rocks then hid both my arms
  I don’t know what good it serves
  Pouring my purse in the dirt but
  I I I I I don’t wanna be a cheerleader no more
  I I I I I don’t wanna be a cheerleader no more

  I’ve played dumb when I knew better
  Tried too hard just to be clever
  I know honest thieves I call family
  I’ve seen America with no clothes on but
  I I I I I don’t wanna be a cheerleader no more
  I I I I I don’t wanna be a cheerleader no more

  I don’t know what I deserve but for you I could work
  Cause I don’t wanna be a cheerleader no more
  I don’t wanna be a cheerleader no more
  I don’t wanna be a cheerleader no more
  I don’t wanna be a bird eater no more
  I don’t wanna be a dirt eater no more
  I don’t wanna be a cheerleader no more

• SURGEON

• I spent the summer on my back another attack stay in just to get along get along get along
  Turn off the TV, wade in bed a blue and a red a little something to get along get along get along get along get along get along
  Best finest surgeon come cut me open
  Best finest surgeon come cut me open

  Dressing undressing for the wall if mother calls she knows well we don’t get along get along get along

  Best finest surgeon come cut me open
  Best finest surgeon come cut me open

• NORTHERN LIGHTS

• If you say it is then I guess it is
  What you say it is but I don’t feel anything
  Cause your pendulum is in swing again
  Yeah your pendulum hasn’t swung back in
  It’s a champagne year full of sober months
  Through my maudlin days through the dry moments
  I saw the northern northern lights convinced it was the end of times
  I saw the north the northern lights

  Gotta get young fast gotta young quick
  Gotta make this last if it makes me sick
  I saw the northern northern lights convinced it was the end of times
  I saw the northern northern lights convinced it was the end of times
  I saw the northern northern lights
  I saw the northern northern lights
  I saw the northern northern lights
  I saw the northern northern lights

• STRANGE MERCY

• Oh little one I know you’ve been tired for a long long time
  And oh little one I ain’t been around for a little while but when you see me wave

  Oh little one your Hemingway jawline looks just like his
  Our father in exile for God only knows how many years

  But when you see him wave through double pane
  I’ll be with you lost boys sneaking out where the shivers won't find you

  Oh little one I’ll tell you good news that I don’t believe if it would help you sleep
  Strange Mercy

  If I ever meet the dirty police man who roughed you up, no I don’t know what
  If I ever meet the dirty police man who roughed you up
  I’ll be with you lost boys sneaking out where the shivers won’t find you

• NEUTERED FRUIT

• Did you ever really stare at me?
  Did you ever really stare at me like I stared at you?
  I ate flowers in the backyard a finely neutered fruit
  Shot a hundred arrows at a doe a hundred sparrows booed

  Did you ever really stare at me?
  Did you ever really stare?
  Did you ever really stare at me like I stared at you?
  Don’t run, don’t run little rabbit run
  Don’t run, don’t run little bunny run

  Did you ever really stare at me?
  Did you ever really stare?
  Did you ever really stare at me like I stared at you?
  Did you ever ride a bear for me?
  Did you ever really care?
  Did you ever really care for me like I cared for you?
  Don’t run
  Don’t run
  Don’t run
  Don’t run

• CHAMPAGNE YEAR

• So I thought I learned my lesson but I secretly expected
  A choir at the shore and confetti through the falling air
  I make a living telling people what they wanna hear
  It’s not a killing but it’s enough to keep the cobwebs clear

  Cause it’s not a perfect plan
  It’s not a perfect plan but it’s the one we got

  It’s not a perfect plan but it’s the one we got Cause I make a living telling people what they wanna hear And boy I tell you it’s gonna be a champagne year

• DILETTANTE

• Oh, Elijah, don’t make me wait
  Nobody’s winning, the sharks are swimming in the red

  Oh, Elijah, don’t make me wait While you are sleeping, my mind goes creaking down the hall

  Slow down dilettante so I can limp beside you following your houndstooth
  Hang on street savant my bank in my back pocket how far you think it’d take us

  You’re like the party I heard through a wall
  I’m always watching you through a keyhole
  But let’s not forget, let’s not forget, let’s not forget why we crawled here

  Oh, Elijah, don’t make me wait
  I got no patience for an estrangement anyway

  Wake up Avenue C your hometown is still sleeping
  You’re like the party i heard through a wall (invite me)
  But I’m always watching you through a keyhole
  But let’s not forget, let’s not forget, let’s not forget where we crawled from

  Oh, Elijah, don’t make me wait
  What is so pressing that you can’t undress me anyway?

• HYSTERICAL STRENGTH

• Hey it’s your blood that makes my veins run
  It’s true so I tried to give it back to you
  Young one look at me it’s not your beast to leash
  Oh, don’t hold more than you can stand to carry

  Must have been a case of hysterical strength
  To stand up while the room moved off its axis
  Old man look at me through the teeth of your grief
  Oh, don’t grab more than you can stand to carry

  Cause you went off to seize
  What no one else could see
  Oh, and left more than we could stand to bury

  But it ain’t, it ain’t, it ain’t, it ain’t, it ain’t on you
  No, it ain’t, it ain’t, it ain’t, it ain’t, it ain’t on you
  No, it ain’t, it ain’t, it ain’t, it ain’t, it ain’t on you
  No, it ain’t, it ain’t, it ain’t, it ain’t, it ain’t on you
  No, it ain’t, it ain’t, it ain’t, it ain’t, it ain’t on you

• YEAR OF THE TIGER

• Ohh...

  When I was young coach called me the tiger
  I always had a knack with the danger

  Living in fear in the year of the tiger
  Living in fear in the year of the tiger

  Italian shoes like these rubes know the difference
  Suitcase of cash in the back of my stick shift
  I had to be the best of the bourgeoisie
  Now my kingdom for a cup of coffee

  Living in fear in the year of the tiger
  Living in fear in the year of the tiger
  Living in fear in the year of the tiger
  Living in fear in the year of the tiger

  Oh, America, can I owe you one?
  Oh, America, can I owe you one?
  Oh, America, can I owe you one?
  Oh, America, can I owe you one?

  Living in fear in the year of the tiger
  Living in fear in the year of the tiger
  Living in fear in the year of the tiger
  Living in fear in the year of the tiger
