loxocele solid album; wish they’d put it out on vinyl, too. (can’t decide whether track 2 or 7 is my favorite.) Favorite track: Take.

"Happy Holidays" Every single New Year You howl owl Telling, all the reasons you hide You hide Maybe tomorrow will get you Up against the man And you can never forget me If I don't take a stand You made up a reason to sing a love song to drown out the season This holiday goes long and carries on You're crazy Singing love songs like you mean it Like you need it I just got that letter from the right side of hell Telling all the reasons we should run and hide Maybe tomorrow I'll let you Know where I stand And you can never forget to See it differe(a)nt You made up a reason To sing a love song It drowns out the season This holiday goes long and carries on Your crazy Singing love songs like you mean it Like you need it You made up a reason To sing a love song It drowns out the season This holiday goes on and you're not strong you're crazy Singing love songs like you mean it Like you need it

"Better Than This" When I run I run for guns I can't project I can protect My little young ones You lie for me I lie for you I get stumped I get jumped I'm gonna die for you The weight for me I cannot change I've got to run to something better than I need to know You're better than this You're better than this It's true You're better than this You're better than this Says who It's your heart Echoing a past you can't improve Miles ahead or miles behind I get lost I get frost I get found out I wake from my own Avalon It's not wrong It's all won Looks like I died for you I Love because I cannot change Everything that is not separate I need to know You're better than this You're better than this It's true You're better than this You're better than this Says who It's your heart Echoing a past you can't remove You act like your dumb Pretend you're one of them Judy Blume You and your behavior Full of rage and savoring derring-do You're better than this You're better than this It's true You're better than this You're better than this Says who You better believe there's something they're asking of you Be better than this be better than this It's cruel, your heart, echoing the darkness you can't remove We all declare I'm innocent But you're willful in your ignorance It breaks your heart It makes you cry You wonder how you didn't die It's because you didn't die
3.
"A Little Respect" I try to discover A little something to make me sweeter Oh baby refrain from breaking my heart I'm so in love with you I'll be forever blue That you gimme no reason Why you make me work so hard That you gimme no That you gimme no That you gimme no That you gimme no Soul, I hear you calling Oh baby please give a little respect to me And if I should falter Would you open you arms out to me We can make love not war And live at peace with our hearts I'm so in love with you I'll be forever blue What religion or reason Could drive a man to forsake his lover Don't you tell me no Don't you tell me no Don't you tell me no Don't you tell me no Soul, I hear you calling Oh baby please give a little respect to me I'm so in love with you I'll be forever blue That you gimme no reason You know you make me work so hard That you gimme no That you gimme no That you gimme no That you gimme no Soul, I hear you calling Oh baby please give a little respect to me Soul, I hear you calling Oh baby please give a little respect to me
4.
Run Away 04:17
"Run Away" You can run away You can't stop that feeling right now If you begged me to stay I might run a ground and bristle in my walk Turn it around I'm on the back of what you can't see out You can run away You can run away You can feel a fever of doubt That's begging you to stay and turn yourself out Wiggle when you walk Had a laugh now Your on the back of what you can't see out Everyone positive not electron election I'm on a bushel of thieves And you can't run away You can run away You can catch a fever right now Begging you to stay on the heels of so proud People like to talk They say it so loud It's on my back and I can't see out Wish something made you feel safe in this crowd Wish some madness could wilt out I want out
5.
"Last Legs" Powder for power Dour and pale You gotta roll into the punches You gotta wail Tell a good story a fish in a pail You gotta worm your way on hooks to weasel a deal Kids in the crib Clock on a fuse Born under the punches I knew Bob and weave Stick and move One more round left in me I'm through I'm on my last legs Hand on the bible Pushing a crutch Better off stinking, thinking, drinking I've had enough I could be liable A fit and a cost I could be pulling all my punches I might right down on my hunches Kids in the crib Clock on a fuse Born under the punches I knew Bob and weave Stick and move One more round left in me I'm through I'm on my last legs I'm on my last legs Led with my body Lead with my chin Punching out the walls I am within I might be sour You have to fit in I got one more round with in me to begin I'm on my last legs
6.
Space Race 04:46
I WANT TO LIVE IN OUTER SPACE RUSSIANS CAN’T DO IT AND THE CHINESE JUST TRY TO SAVE FACE IF THEY JUST GIVE ME A CHANCE I KNOW THAT I COULD RUN THE PLACE BUT I’M JUST A STAIN ON THEIR WALL. I’M JUST A STAIN ON THEIR WALL. YEAH I CAN HOLD MY PEE I’VE EATEN ALL THE DEHYDRATED ICE CREAM. I’VE WATCHED CONTACT SO MANY TIMES I KNOW ALL OF JODIE FOSTER’S LINES. BUT I WON’T GO THROUGH THE WORMHOLE NO I WON’T BE AN ASTRONAUT. NO I WON’T GO WHERE THEY GO NO NO NO I BEGGED EM ON MY HANDS AND KNEES. BUT THEY JUST PUSHED ME TO THE GROUND. SO I STOLE MY OWN ROCKET SHIP AND STARTED UP MY OWN COUNTDOWN. I TRIED ALL THE CONTROLS BUT I COULDN’T MAKE IT GO. AS THE CONSTELLATIONS SLIPPED AWAY. NO I WON’T GO WHERE THEY GO NO NO NO
7.
Take 04:56
"Take" Take Take what you can get When you disappear Nervous as a cat In a room of rocking chairs A string so tightly wound A ring let's drown out the sound Now Who's running out on who Take what you can get The world becomes diffuse And we tend to forget The means to lock it down In dreams we don't touch the ground Take Take what you can get You will disappear And once upon a time You were always here To fill in missing pieces Now nothing's coming easy So I cease to need to Know everything that you do To push the pieces off the board and then tell me how this works How can this work What makes this work
8.
Detroit 03:55 video
"Detroit" I don't bite and I don't beg You seem to make me anyway Is there a process am I on my way out Your brittle heart Your little head You are the same old idiot In the basement ripping up the charts Feed them lies like they glean hedges I hate to live in present tenses You got me barking I wanna be your dog It hurts your heart It hurts your head Unaware you're drinking lead I've never been scared since I was born I'm right on the edge I'm right on the pieces I'm right on Detroit I'm right on Detroit I might bite but I can't beg You're gonna make me anyway There's no process I'm a fist full of gut All the lies stop and siege Your barking orders industry I'm not lying I'm ridden in bed I'm right on the edge I'm right on the precipice I'm right on Detroit I'm right on Detroit 5432321 Who's gonna make these fuckers pay Round them up You think your in charge Shut up Shut up Shut up I'm right on the edge I'm right on the pieces I'm right on Detroit I'm right on Detroit Hey it's your city now You want to burn it to the ground We're all pitching in Hey it's your city now You want to turn it all around We're all in Detroit
9.
"Broadway" Hang me all over I drink to much Crimson and Clover some honey I'm asking for it I hurt all over While I double dutch I fell like a brute believing I am mensch You're on Broadway Tonight Go the wrong way Get it right It's impossible to fit in It's on my back You're getting my goat I feel like a brute believing I need a bigger boat When I'm in doubt When I'm need I got no clout I'm in to deep You're on Broadway Tonight Go the wrong way Get it right It's impossible to fit in You ought ta know I'm on my back I'm clenching my throat I am a brute believing I am a goat Then Simon simply says I'm compartmentalized Can you come over with honey Maybe get me high You're on Broadway Tonight Go the wrong way Get it right It's impossible to fit in On Broadway You ought ta know
10.
Best Friend 03:26
"Best Friend" And if you're my best friend How can it ever end When I can't let you go You know I'd be lying If I said I was trying I can't let you go This is the fall I make that breaks across my heart This is the sound of love tearing me apart I know it's not easy Reality sees me I can't let you go Because your my best friend How can it ever end I can't let you go Bless my soul Bless my heart I might be better than I started off I hope I can be here and live in the New Year I can't let you go Because your my best friend How can it ever end I can't let you go No, I can't let you go
