I am strong like a cowboy with my white reeboks on I walk down mt. royal ave. and I sing my song like a coward as my eyes meet a former a lover and I duck into a grassy field to look at the sky but it is too bright and I have to close my eyes tonight I am a cowboy I am stone-cold last night I was buster keaton I've been told will you be holding me? and we can *get smokey (alt: go cozy) I wear all green I feel alright the day is foggy I'll wait 'til night unbutton my button-down when the sun comes out cause i can't always be the funny guy

ginger ale 03:49
I'm no mad scientist though my hair sure looks like it that's what a girl told me at a party was it her idea of flirting? I was looking for a conversation I was disappointed by the ones I had couldn't get passed a greeting didn't say a word after "nice to see ya" and I just want a ginger ale and maybe I should cut my hair wanna dwell in your passenger seat will you take me to the movies? do you have better things to do than to hang around with this fool? can't sleep so I play computer chess drink tea and get real obsessed I just want a ginger ale can't find my scissors anywhere can I dwell in your passenger seat? will you kiss me at the movies? I just want a ginger ale wanna hang with someone who cares and I'm not the lonely type but I feel like it tonight

window view 03:32
It is dark in my bedroom I am holding out my arms and the light from the window guides me to my bed I am small when I said I was lonely I was only kidding I am content in my bedroom all alone sometimes I want a hand to hold with my hand though I am okay holding my pillow the window... keeps me company (the window) the house has gone to sleep (the window) I wake up and drink tea (the window) can you be my window? frames the indigo sky (the window) the sun is about to rise (the window) I will one day die (the window) can you be my window? show me peacefulness (the window) the quiet, carefulness (the window) cause I don't get any rest (the window) can you be my window? can I learn how to let go?

how r you 03:28
I heard my name shouted across a crowded room as two hands touched one was pulled towards the other to tap lightly on the other's shoulder in some sort of gesture I am familiar with some words are exchanged I heard "what's up" and the response of "nothing much" spoken in a casual tone like you would to a friend or someone you already know but who's that guy in the corner hey, that's me in the mirror what is that flash? did someone take a picture or is it about to storm outside? I wonder if I'll have a drink is this my place in the world? sitting on an armchair I see people stand around did they already know each other or did they just meet? I wanna stand around too wanna stand around with beer in my arms a conscious character too when someone says "hey what's up" I'll respond "I feel good, how r you?"

living room 04:38
in the living room I sat close to you the night of my birthday the 25th of february in my parent's house we inched closer on the couch that they got rid of when my dog ripped it up we didn't kiss maybe we both thought about it it was before we discovered we didn't love one another in the living room all i wanted to do was to say i was okay the night of my birthday in your car the other night "dancing in the moonlight" (see: king harvest) you showed me that song and preceded to sing along we tried to stay awake for the sunrise but we fell asleep around 5 and woke up i drove you back to your house

blue shoes 03:33
lamppost lights poke through the trees spot a good one around midnight around the corner from a house I no longer know look down at my white shoes now they look more like a light blue in the moonlight who are you I'm singing too? broke the 4th wall but I'll fix it swear I've always been a real idiot in the moonlight staring at my shoes

how 2 draw 02:33
how do you a draw a face? what do you do with the eyes? what do you do with the nose? what do you do with the ears? what do you do with the mouth? what do you do with the hair?

mr. lonely 02:18
I made a painting of two people kissing it doesn't mean I'm lonely but I am lonely mr. lonely missed her theoretically kissed her like it was tv like it meant something cause there was music and it was funny I'm made of routine the same sweatshirt I've always been the same blue one you've already seen had it since I was fourteen I'm not a good guy I'm a bad one in disguise so I hope she forgets me cause I forgot her already
9.
thank you 08:59
how do I show I'm grateful? do I only sing it in my songs? do I even need to say it all? how do I say thank you? and show full appreciation while eating a clementine the cup of tea in my hand is this my way to show gratitude? I'm just trying to sing my song

sometimes nelly gets stuck in my head so I can't help but dance It's getting hot in here I'm gonna eat some ice cream I got a lousy drum machine got no soul, but it can keep a beat flashlight on the perfect groove I'm hanging out in our living room my shirts tucked in I dance to the beat I hear a maraca shake but it's just my keys turn the beat up my shirt is untucked the song is over the show is done everybody is gone
