you found a sweater on the ocean floor
they're gonna find it if you didn't close the door
you and this model sit outside on the side
in a house on a street they wouldn't park on at night
dad was a risk taker
his was a shoe maker
you greatest hits 2006
little list maker
caught in the melody
you wait in the car
you were born with ten fingers and you're gonna use 'em all.
me and my cousins
and
you and your cousins
it's a line that is always running
me and my cousins
and
you and your cousins
i can feel it coming
interest in colors
i discover myself
if your art life is gritty you'll be toasting my health
if an interest in culture should be lining the walls
when your birth right is interest you could just accrue it all
(i know, right?)

54 forty / fight

54 forty or fight, he said
president james k. polk
elected in 1844 would go on to expand the nation
adding the mexican cession, texas
and the bear flag republic of california
under his presidency
adding more territory to the united states than any other president by thirty percent.
party platform, party platform...
thomas jefferson, on the other hand, was a strict constructionist who viewed that the constitution should be interpreted as it was written. therefore, there were no provisions for the addition of land in the constitution so he did not believe in the presence of it.
but...
he was wrong.

end of a spark
03:47

spend all our Sundays in a row
ten feet from Chinatown, like it's dead
but we know
'cause when he put you to bed
your great-grandfather always said
wasting is an art
like the nights we spent in backs of cars
a piece of the part
the end of a spark
a piece of the part
the end of a spark
a spark
under our bed, a monster lives
we fight his teeth with superglue and paper clips
mark the end of an age
the way that your handwriting changed
we should always pretend
well, you just start and I'll say when
when he put you to bed
your great-grandfather always said
wasting is an art
well, it's a good thing that I was young then
I am a gear
I am a spool of thread
as long as my teeth, they turn
we will always be newlyweds
the end of spark
a flash in the dark
a piece of the part
it's the end of a spark
a piece of the part
the end of a spark
a spark
a spark

WHEN I WAS YOUNGER I SWALLOWED A SALAMANDER
AND WHEN HE WIGGLED DOWN MY THROAT THERE WASN’T NOTHIN GRANDER
CAS I WAS JUST A BOY OF SIX AND I WOULD ALWAYS WONDER…
WHY HE HAUNTED ALL MY DREAMS IN MY NIGHTLY SLUMBER
AND WELL
IT’S CAUSE HE WENT TO HELL
TO SALAMANDER HELL
TO SALAMANDER HELL
IF I WAS TO VISIT HELL WHERE THE SALAMANDERS DWELL
I’D FIND LOTS OF ROCKS AND STREAMS
WHERE THE BLOOD OF LITTLE LIZARDS GLEAM
(AND THEY SCREAM LIKE) AUGHHHHHHHHHHHH
IT’S CAUSE THEY WENT TO HELL
TO LITTLE LIZARD HELL
TO LITTLE LIZARD HELL
IT’S CAUSE THEY WENT TO HELL
TO LITTLE LIZARD HELL
TO LITTLE LIZARD HELL
