lyrics
welcome you pilgrims we can give you what you want no one’s a stranger, come and tell me what you want we can start if you want it tonight we got everything we need tonight we can do it you want it tonight we’re gonna swap your face with something off the shelf just let me know which one, just tell me what you want spacefaring travelers just out of reach dice game gamblers out on the beach polypharmaceutical lights every blink we can take out your urge to obsess we can remember the parties you missed and we have custom empathy skills for you we can put the warmth back inside you we can go back and make your mom love you we can get what you want it tonight cultivar weekend warrior tank man k-ship captain unmoored with no anchor we can get what you want it tonight

Mr. Stay Away 02:19
lyrics
when we moved to our house in upper montco the first thing we saw was your sign aluminum laser cut four letter words with a bang screwed to the brick between two windows two years passed, traded stares never wave back never saying hi then you flagged me down while mowing the lawn and asked how your ex might have hacked your phone can’t believe her, won’t believe her, don’t believe her lies she’s why you put cameras in the yard can’t believe her, won’t believe her, don’t believe her lies she guessed all of your passwords, checks your bills and credit card so we got some mail addressed to your girl and I looked her socials up watched you two slow dance on your front door stoop in a youtube vid from 7 years ago last week the police came by and sat you and your girl outside on the very same stoop, she showed the cop how you batted her arm like a chop to a shortstop don’t believe her, don’t believe her, don’t believe her lies they took your separate statements and wrote you a citation don’t believe her, don’t believe her, don’t believe her eyes they let you grab your shit before the escort to the station the neighbor said this one night she was laying in his yard cursed him out when he said to go home and writhed on a high on a moonlit school night next week her family helped her move on saturday the beetle trees are swaying and his house says stay away

West Chester Real Estate 02:24
lyrics
asbestos from falling dorms dusts our petrified forms in photos of rosedale avenue kept in a drawer this shit is so out of hand just sold for five hundred grand I could never move back to this ancestral fantasy land clergymen surround the town parlaying collars for dollars real estate accumulation with a smile so demure I don’t need a townhouse I need a denomination and a weekly tax exempt collection habit for the poor sometime in 2004 the year of our lord the priest heard the pigs knock on the rectory door down some on 202 south they were hiding their doubts the moment was now to own up to the vow father keeps his silence adopts a tightness of mouth at the speed at which he changes from his robe into his clothes you don’t need a bail bond you need the will of your flock make sure the baskets are all passed around and filled up in the rows that farm across pleasant grove they changed the sign to say sold this evergreen scheme never gets old meanwhile the touchers continue to put their holiness in youth their hands up in prayer, not in cuffs yeah, it’s fucked

Numbers Station 02:09
lyrics
unstressed, unstressed, stressed, distressed I gotta say I need a rest from your intrusive anapest and nonstop vocal synthesis can you hear yourself talk can you turn yourself off everything’s a random sequence he never thinks to change his frequency numbers station, numbers station you're talking like a numbers station no attrition, no transitions tuning out your damn transmission bad decisions of repetition is it “repetitive” or “repetitious” whichever word is expeditious the opposite of surreptitious is it made up or is it written is there some secret message hidden I can’t keep on hearing this yankee hotel foxtrot shit numbers station, numbers station you like to talk by your admission you’re acting like you’re on a mission to skip words that convey concision numbers station, numbers station coded miscommunication overgeneralization absent vocal sanitation numbers station, numbers station you're talking like a numbers station no attrition, no transitions i’m tuning out your damn transmission

Legs 02:06
lyrics
met you at our neighbors down the road under the full moon of a social episode you invited us in and put fox news on I was making signs before long, trying to get gone coca cola and cigarette ash lacquered on a jacked mac keyboard stack porno stash, photo flash, johnny thunders’ autograph we finished our wine and walked back to the house it took 4 hangouts to find out what this guy was about I'd rather leave you as the voice not in the book out of reach of the silent point of view you took x-files playing and the ac whirs desk covered by receipts and shit like tax returns a roll of tp and some lubriderm you said to me this where it the magic occurs

Undersecretary 02:41
lyrics
I’m gonna ditch all of your stuff and it’s gonna be rough black bracelets, coffee table shit I can’t look at it I’m not sentimental this could be any place but all the fridge pictures hit their expiration date I didn't start this and I don't want to part with your works of local artists but I need catharsis viewmaster boxes, books on disease I’m keeping these your copy of the wide sargasso sea you said it’s you not me your vanity’s a cemetery of unburied memories like a single earring I’m a lone accessory I threw out your couch I couldn't have it in my house now I can’t chill properly but I can't keep your property your pillows were charming but now it’s alarming when I see them on the shelf in the salvation army I’m an undersecretary doing what’s necessary I’m an undersecretary and I work solitary

PA Monsters 02:18
lyrics
the cashier hit his vape pen and flicked the lights off flipped the state store sign to closed and offered me a cough he locked the door, jostled keys with fear and said hey man you took your fuckin time getting here that paranoia makes me think this town is unglued today, I saw a punisher sticker on a subaru now I’m standing here and don’t know what to do this pennsylvania monster wants to talk about tattoos the system was destroyed last night, he said we’re gathering like minds to help build it again we’ve got: gun training, defense classes for suburban badasses pa monsters on the perkiomen creek gather metal from the muddy banks to make ends meet failed contractors, drunk pallet stackers on the lookout for paid actors

Beetle Tree 02:09
lyrics
a slack backyard beetle tree with insects by the millions its branches are all pecked a crackle in the hilltop breeze roots already ripping free and tilting when its wet I’ll come and find you if it fell from heavy life and crushed your solar plexus I’d find my ballpoint pen and on the back of a receipt we’ll make your living will tonight gimme any last words to write just clarify the ambiguity I’ll come and find you

Lunar Detective 02:04
lyrics
sometime in 30,000 bc I caught you marking up a cave wall and I asked what do you see Instead of palm prints, full moons, bison in heat you said a messy mix of chromium and zinc time cops, time world, time lines, uncurl so much later in the ray gun era, I arrest you in the sea of tranquility a delinquent juvenile, you’ve carried it a while, this disease of instability time cops, time world, time lines, uncurl time cops, time world, time stops, uncurl

Voyager 1 02:22
lyrics
15 billion miles from the sun your signals reach us every day and we’ve never missed a single one now you’re far out past the heliosphere these can’t be your last words you’ve cheated death for 41 years we gotta restart that cold plutonium heart tonight if this is the end, I’ll play your golden record for every revolution and thank you for your contribution I’ll pour out some beer you’ll hit the oort cloud in 300 years but I’m hoping the stars will align and you’ll come back online tonight we gotta restart that cold plutonium heart tonight but the scientists have given up and there’s nothing in the manual to cite tonight
