everything's wasted, we'll just lose it to the ocean I'm prepared to tolerate all the mass confusion don't look to me for such drippy emotion 'cause you know that I've got it, that flaw called devotion (californias waiting) hope I get there on time (californias waiting) hope I make it alive (californias waiting) all drowned stragglers aside (californias waiting) we'll always make it alive everythings wasted, we'll just lose it to the ocean but before we do, apply sun-screen lotion walk up the surf and go through the motions finding a pearl through a century's pollution (californias waiting) hope I get there on time (californias waiting) hope I make it alive (californias waiting) all drowned stragglers aside (californias waiting) we'll always make it alive everythings wasted, we just lost it to the ocean but before we did, thanked you for inclusion we walked up the waterfront to enjoy the confusion I tried to warn ya, it's a lovely delusion (californias waiting) hope I get there on time (californias waiting) hope I make it alive (californias waiting) all drowned stragglers aside (californias waiting) we'll always make it alive california flooded still too shallow to dive

first time you made my mind was the first time I changed it when you make my mind you defy it's cheap limitations when you make my mind you rewind it's loose expectations but each time your brilliant brain betrays it's perfect frame, honey unless tomorrow's future is different from today's you must believe in a blank slate since you keep it so empty and plain ought not think, dearest for the will lead to thoughts thoughts unwelcome, thoughts are seldom what you think you thought and I thought it was love just the ideas more than enough when you're young and dumb yeah but I still believe that the melody echoes the writers memories and I still believe that the painting will reflect the painter's fantasies but paint-by-number isn't jazz, babe though every craft has it's math, honey your accuracy seems rough re-multiply and add it up you're trying to stand with two left hands and I'm trying to build you a crutch your mind's like your canvas you've coloured yourself confused maybe I could be the glue when your right mind finds you when your right mind finds you when your right mind finds you so I won't think, when I think I think into a thought thoughts unwelcome, thoughts are seldom what you think you thought now we know who we are yeah we're just a little pissed about it

was full of good ideas last night yeah I had my share it's too late for shoelace conversations tied up in knots again it's early to be drinking overproof already sick enough looking at you yeah they say rain brings misery but we've got priorities that means places to drink today's buzz feels natural familiar like ritual every time we get behind the wheel for three whole days, I remembered everything I had to say dropped the conversation with fidgety hands lost my voice again left drunk with ruined plans every fake smile says that every words pretend every fake smile says that every words pretend when they say vaudeville is dead when they say vaudeville is dead I'm so full of good ideas

Bitter Tea 06:04
I've travelled nowhere, and I've learned nothing I'm missing the point but I'm still arguing brew me a cleansing drink served fresh from the tree I'll tell you what I think, but not for free and you'll believe me I can't swallow bitter tea you can't convince me 'cause I don't open my mouth and talk about it I've already said enough it's probably OCD when I arrive there, I'll be sure to call I would meet you there but you packed and moved on all that's left's poison laced with aspartame I wouldn't trust it, but that's just me I'll tell you that for free I can't swallow bitter tea you can't convince me 'cause I don't open my mouth and talk about it I've already said enough it's probably OCD so wait, stop I've got more to say apparently about fights fought this never ends, no one ever shuts up I've got nothing important to say, so I'll wait, stop I ran out of shit to say anyway I needed too much so I went to the source there's not enough and I need more if you can't satisfy my restless mind I'll leave you and my heart behind everyone's alone and everyone's bored we'll leave each other but we can't afford to be saving time that's better spent maybe all we need is better friends I needed too much so I went to the source there's not enough and I need more if you can't satisfy my restless mind I'll leave you and my heart behind everyone's alone and everyone's bored we'll leave each other but we can't afford to be saving time that's better spent maybe all we need is better friends
