The Franchise

A bolder bet and a well to do
Through a keyhole I can watch you move
Together lets improve
On making a better mood
Sagittarius and republican
in a raincoat in a modern land
Playing with his iPhone while on the can
A 21st century man
And you been breaking me up
And you been holding me down
While you been making your move
A foreign man
Slain on the train
What was this lame attempt?
And you been breaking me up
And you been holding me down
While you been making your move

Loss

My Head went down
My head went underneath the table
You walk in backwards
And situations get unstable
You get one chance to lead
One chance to make it
And one thing and everyone tries to break it
You took my wallet and you took my ride
You took my hand and pushed me off the side
Lost my faith in love
Lost my faith in friends
Now everything has to start again

Your Pet Trusts You

Give your heart to the man
Lay your life in his hands
'Cause he'll do right and he'll do true
If you do what he says to do
And he'll always look after you when he can

The first trip to Mars
We'll be on our way
As brothers in arms
Off to a brand new day
Because...
You've been singin this song twenty times a day
You've been bending my arm and its about to break
So...
On the first trip to mars
We're on our way

I've saying, I've been hoping aloud
That for my birthday, we get to go see Harper's Clown
I love Harper's Clown

Button on the Beat

Button on the beat is on the line
Button on the beat is on the line
The whole family were all
Hoping you would take the fall
But mother knew you couldn't do the time
So, the button on the beat is on the line

Modern romance
You got ten pairs of pants on
How did you get them on?

Weddings

If you're waiting for a wedding then you're gonna wait long, boy
So you went home, and you got drunk
The last five years have treaded you wrong, boy
So you got low and had to call it off
You've got no way to compromise
You no teeth to your lies
You've got no heart, you've got no guts and your face, I despise
Don't you know?

A Boat Upon the Water
01:12
|
|||
|
You get people messing
With the same old message guessing
Working on a new idea fleshing out their new position is pretty broad
We'll go along....
Wedding ring in your pocket
Push your boat off from the dock
it will be fine upon the water rocking' if it sinks you can chalk it up to fate
And go along...

You've just bought your first home
And now everything's place
And you've got your pretty wife standing by your side
You're the envy of the town
You're the envy of your friends
You're the champion of the world
But the Barber knows that its not true
Because when he cuts his hair you quietly sob
Why are you so blue?
Because you secretly want to scream
Every time you hear the bells
Because it doesn't make you move
On the inside
Does the Barber know that that's the truth?
Now the gig is up
Now what will you do?
Now you know that he's sees through you

Blessings

There's been times its tough to believe
You were pressing all along
And you're confessions as i had heard them were depressing
Your heart was far from clean
And its been hard and its been messing with our days
But thought if you'd come back it'd be a blessing
But you were in the dark
And your pride took you down with it
And you went down a hole
And the last time that we saw you
You were naked
Cut us off and was hardly seen
No feelings or in-betweens
Didn't know how you were replaced by a new person
But you've been back you've been clean
And you've fallen from the scene
Its impressive, its a gift, its a blessing
Because when you were in the dark
You took us all down with you
Just an asshole
That's the last time that we decided
That we would see you
Now you're back its hard to believe
Our impressions all along
You're confessions as we remember were dismissive

Stratos

Stratos flies across the sky
But he knows he won't make it to Avion
At the fall of Eternia
He'll never again see Delora
OH NO!

Last in Line
00:52
|
|||
|
You always found a way to be last in line
Some would say that's your skill
You've lost every job that'll you'll ever find
And you'd spend your last dollar on swill
No one offers advice because never mind
It would be like pouring water uphill
Cause you just fuck em, and fight em till you've had your fill
You've never learned and you never will

The Way We Won
01:56
|

|
Your eyes see whole
Your head can't Go
Where you see so
Your eyes see low
When the way won
Is where we hunt
Your window's done
We break and run
