TV Detention 02:33
Too close to mention I lost my protection along the way Avoiding questions There’s always questions and they came Wish I could think faster anyway Head count inspection TV detention anyway Two parts bitter one part worn away 2X Going to send you a letter So would you read my letter anyway Two parts bitter one part worn away Head count inspection TV detention anyway Two parts bitter one part worn away Too close to mention I lost my protection

When the blinking start to fade it’s too late to turnaround And when the heartbreaks all lose their way, that’s when I start coming around Ain't no use trying to play it too cool it’s too late to come unwound Tongue tied and I’m acting like a fool it’s too late to forget the sound Because I know what people say that I always get around Background singers and they like to say It’s too late to turn around Turn around hit the ground When the blinking start to fade it’s too late to turnaround And when the heartbreaks all lose their way, that’s when I start coming around Ain't no use trying to play it too cool it’s too late to come unwound Tongue tied and I’m acting like a fool it’s too late to forget the sound Turn around hit the ground Crossed hearts, turn black and fade When the blinking start to fade it’s too late to turnaround And when the heartbreaks all lose their way, that’s when I start coming around Ain't no use trying to play it too cool it’s too late to come unwound Tongue tied and I’m acting like a fool it’s too late to forget the sound Turn around hit the ground Crossed hearts, turn black and fade When the blinking start to fade it’s too late to turnaround And when the heartbreaks all lose their way, that’s when I start coming around

Run when I say Run til you can’t Don’t ever look back, not even if you want too Because You’ve come too far to crash and burn And be somebody’s disaster Hitting the road Hitting it hard Looking for forgiveness Looking for a ride Because You’ve come to far to crash and burn And be somebody’s disaster Turn off the phone Turn off the light Wish upon a star and try to make it alright Because Run when I say Run til you can’t Don’t ever look back, not even if you want too Because You’ve come too far to crash and burn And be somebody’s disaster

We go boom, boom, boom, boom and it’s only flesh wound

I get so excited Feel weightless and ignited Not going to try to fight it Not desperate but delighted And then it fades Turns to grey Blows away What about further back Ends this way I get so excited Feel weightless and ignited Not going to try to fight it Not desperate but delighted And then it fades Turns to grey Blows away What about further back Ends this way I had tapes I had boots All the right kind of loot Trespassing and dumpster dives Shoplifting and lesser crimes I get so excited Feel Weightless and ignited Not going to try to fight it Not desperate but delighted

Cielo Drive 01:22
I got bait, oh I got live bait I got morays creepy crawlies guaranteed I know two I know two ways To disappear and not be found Disappear and not be found I know three I know three ways Morays creepy crawlies guaranteed I know two I know two ways To disappear and not be found Disappear and not be found I got bait, oh I got live bait I got morays creepy crawlers guaranteed I know two I know two ways

I never thought that this could Billy held the apple on top of your head Aimed the arrow high and watched as it speed Didn’t do much damage not as much as you planned Lost in the entrance time I got another plan I had some ideas. They had some notes Now it’s time to show. Now it’s time to show Billy hit the telegraph made it well known Amateur radio and saxophone Played it til they coughed and fucked up the tone Two steps backwards and hardly ever home I had some ideas. They had some notes Now it’s time to show. Now it’s time to show I had some ideas. They had some notes Now it’s time to show. Now it’s time to show I can’t fake it. Never never going to shake it. I can’t mistake it. Never never going to fake it Billy pulled the arrow and aimed at the sky Don’t expect an apology just a black-lunged sigh Why waste tomorrow wondering why
