you cut an avocado in half and it doesn't bleed. you eat like ice cream with a spoon, well that's kinda neat. they cost a dollar fifty in north dakota and they cost just a dollar in south dakota. and they keep getting cheaper as you keep going south! just 39 cents in texas is what i hear...

The Long Weekend
01:50
|
|||
|
it's been a long weekend
the farmer's market has come and gone.
the rainstorm's over
and main street is overcrowded.
i've got a horn on my bike.
i've got a bell on my bike.
i've got no need for lights
i've got no need for a mirror
it's been a long weekend
the long workdays have come and gone.
the flea market's over
and turned back into a field.
it's been a long weekend
in the small small town
and if you can't get a good job,
you're working at the bar!
and there's a sound that
the air makes
when the nighttime
comes too soon
but that sound is even louder
when the nighttime
stays too long.

the garlic mustard is in bloom
and the sewage plant is
buzzing over main.
the town has filled with people,
and furniture's been placed out on the street
the garlic mustard is in bloom
and the soap flowers are all upon the hill.
no one touches, but everybody feels a little strange
and if you go out in the woods,
watch out for atvs
and animals that seem to have lost their way

i was born one sunny day
in burbank californ-i-ay
we lived in glass huts made of clay
when i heard my doctor say
pack up!
we're moving to canada!
everybody's going to canada!
pack up!
we're moving to canada today!
yeah yeah yeah yeah!
i was taught my self esteem
back before i turned thirteen
what could it even mean
when i heard my brother scream
pack up!
we're moving to canada!
everybody's going to canada!
pack up!
we're moving to canada today!
yeah yeah yeah yeah!
my fingernail's were closetwork
the orchestra had lost it's shirt
wonder what this guitar pick is worth
when i fell face first in the dirt

There was a Bad Turnip sitting on the kitchen table
and i should have known that this would happen
cause we got it at the flea market from
that guy from the city
and i should have known that this would happen.
i was caught in the moment.
we were caught in the moment.
and i should have known that this would happen.

i've got a bag full of bruised apples
bouncing in the milk crate
strapped to the back of my bike,
diy or die, they say
or at least i said that once
at least i said that once x2
and i'm scared to know about
the things i haven't done
in the micropolitan
party weekend
and i've been writing down my thoughts
And thinking even more
as i ride my bike out of town
and through the sprawling golf course
i used to know myself,
but then i moved back home x2
riding along the creek,
the river's running high
i've eaten all the trail mix
but i'm not too far from home.
i can turn back if i want
i can turn back if i want
riding a little further
and i've drank the water
the river's running high
and i'm getting far from home
i can bike out of town if i want to.
i can bike over the mountain too. X2
chorus,
i can bike out of town if i want to.
i can bike over the mountain too. X2

Cities Made for Cars
02:44
|

|
the cars drive through the cities made for cars
they never stay long but they seem to like it here-
keep coming back day after day
as i walk along the crumbling sidewalk
tall buildings were made by people
you'd think they would be for people!
the long roads were made by people
you'd think they would be for people!
at night time the air rumbles, very un-restfully -
there's always a car, to make sure it's safe for cars
i thought about filling myself with gasoline
to see if i could see better then!
down the hill
down the sidewalk
i slide
down on the town
down on the cars
i slide
build it up higher
make the roads wider
i slide
can't sell my car
can't sell my bike
i slide.

Eat the Junk Food
00:55
|
|||
|
i can't get rid of my car,
so i might as well use it?
i don't want to vote this year,
but i might as well do it?
i don't want to work so much,
but i might as well pay rent?
i don't want to eat the junk food,
but i might as well buy it?
i don't want to feel so confused,
but i might as well just feel it?
i don't want to be the only one,
so i might as well join in?
i don't want to go to the bar,
so i might as well start drinking?
i don't want to not want to,
so i might as well start wanting to?
