Handjobs? 03:13
of course we've all got habits but we've also got traditions and most of us have given up the sweet false taste of sedition of course we see the bridge burning but most of us would rather stay admiring the fires reflection in the water cause we can't find one damn thing to say and I've been finding out there are things I never thought I could do thought things about myself that weren't true and someone's got to shout that I am going down with you yes I am going down with you and of course we've all seen monsters some bound in bottles some jammed up in jars but if anyone tries to say they're not crazy then they're not gonna get very far of course we all love climbing buildings digging our fingers into the concrete and if I knew what I was instilling I could crawl somewhere close to complete and I've been finding out there are things I never thought I could do thought things about myself that weren't true and someone's got to shout that I am going down with you yes I am going down with you Intimations lead to Intimidations Escalations feel like Masturbation so I must learn to be patient

Empty lot flowers are blooming purple trumpets and white spots soothing but I've got to keep my feet moving or I'll be face down on the street swooning Because I love dirt I love kicking broken bottles through the city and if I get hurt then I wont' need all that respect you gave me but I won't stay safe refuse to learn from my mistakes and if my words quake then I'll just kick my life right in the fucking face i wish to sleep underneath those wet weeds I would defeat any thief who could catch me when my eyelids kiss I'll be lost like this until the police come to get me. Because I love dirt I love kicking broken bottles through the city and if I get hurt then I wont' need all that respect you gave me but I won't stay safe refuse to learn from my mistakes and if my words quake then I'll just kick my life right in the fucking face

I used to look long through the woods Craning my eyes to cross the highway I imagined they were infinite And once you start walking you’ll never get anywhere else Now my eyes are catching glimpses Of endless brick envelopments They’re all equally infinite And still you keep walking and never get anywhere else This is so much harder than I thought it was! White birch knuckles crack The sand that you’re searchin is under attack And even if you bend those fingers back There is still no holding on Now I’ve got two pairs of eyes Secretly searching for what we don’t hope to find And we don’t need the infinite Cause now that we’re walking we don’t want to get anywhere This is so much harder than I thought it was! White birch knuckles crack The sand that you’re searchin is under attack And even if you bend those fingers back There is still no holding on

BODEGOBA SYSTEM All the time you're runnin when really you should be dancin All the time you're talkin when really you should shut up So let's all go to the bodega and pick out a nice fluorescent Flav-O-Ice Maybe a 22 or Garcia Vega A double dutch can stop you thinkin twice Hey wait a minute shouldn't I feel guilty? for drinking away what was built for me riding this wave of neighborhood change and all the blood that's been spilled for me So let's all go to the bodega and pick up a cheap 12 pack of PBR we can drink away false sorrows and forget about just how lucky we are Hey wait a minute shouldn't I feel guilty? for drinking away what was built for me riding this wave of neighborhood change and all the blood that's been spilled for me All the time you're runnin when really you should be dancin All the time you're talkin when really you should shut up
