Big Crush 04:04
We said goodnight and promised to share a dream direct from your cabin to mine And in the morning in that diner when you said you think it worked well you didnt lie The silky way you said foreshadowing made all my timelines blush It was like Michelangelo's creation of Adam the first time we touched I think I got a Big Crush Cuz i cant even move or think about much else when you're in the room Big Crush Think I'm never gonna fall in love till I do and I think I did with you You must get around I bet you do I wonder what it would take to get around with you I know were not dating but promise me well never break up My sleeping bag is not the cleanest of bags And my plans aren't the clearest of plans but I think that i could make some time Driving through New York, 23 tattoos we formed a band called Mainly Bruise You sent me dust from your floor where I wish I was Pretty sure that means that I've got a Big Crush

My Concept 03:51
My concept (Think-thinking about you baby) See I really tried to come to your thing But last night I had this dream And then in the shower I remembered everything For me true love comes like once a month But this idea could be once in a lifetime (once in a lifetime) My friends are jostling my phone Won’t you come to the show Sure ill come running like a bronze statue The birds say come out and play Its a beautiful day But I’m in that special place In my room, just: Thinkin See I really tried to come to your thing But it just wasn’t my scene And when I left the house I’d forgotten everything And I know humans can be quite fun But this idea could be the one My friends just don’t understand They say were moving too fast Ya I’m moving like a bronze statue They’re saying maybe you need space You’re seeing them everyday But I’m in that special place in my room just thinking I could try to explain Tell you everything But I’m just not sure you’d believe me Maybe just one more week My concept and me Were thinking about staying home and just thinking

Woke up to you reading in my bed hey what you got there Is that a copy of the memoir of Althusser Hey didn’t that guy hate sex and then kill his wife? You just pat my head and don’t reply You leave for the research library I fall back asleep To Soft labor fantasy You brought three books to the river that you thought you’d read Tried to bring em across, the river was too deep And these rocks don’t suggest a studious time Come on in the water feels just fine Lying in the sand in the sun The sweet material conditions of Soft Labor Fantasy

I’m wearing my ring with the huge red diamond And you’re wearing some shoes that sort of look like almonds On your bike colder than a goldmine And your hair looking like Eisenstein And we get there: And the walls are white And they got free beer And they got free wine Take a look at that price In San Francisco lay another zero on me And when they buy well they wanna buy everything And the pieces you like are the pieces I like Theres a line outside, people milling about Theres a DJ playing all night till 10 And in that yellow maybe we could be friends? Cmon Cmon Cmon Its a weeknight art show And we get there And they got free beer And they got free wine Theres an artist statement I was forced to read while waiting in line Theres a crowd outside People milling about Im looking out for you I see you under the light You’re always smoking How are you always smoking?

Moon Rockin 01:50
I met you at the solar eclipse party you were looking for a lighter When you learned I was a cancer your eyes got brighter You winked at me in your specialized sunglasses And offered me a cookie, said “no sugar just molasses” Now Im sitting in the bed of a truck on a blanket that smells really really groovy And the sound of your gentle finger picked guitar is really really soothing You start to sing a little song you call moon rocking And I hear my mind like a bird in the distance squawking And someone offers me another cookie and I eat it But the thing I didn’t realize Was that there was pot inside And now Im really high The moon’s tearing through the sky And I don’t wanna die You put your hand in mine And whisper pretty soon well be moon rocking

(pupper pied piper) She’s the Pupper Pied Piper All the dogs they love her At the smell of her smoke flute The world becomes cute This summer When humans become a bummer Now I know who to call Her business card Says do you believe in dog? I close my eyes and imagine the scene: There they are On my street In my house In my room On my bed A dozen dogs kissing my face And ill never be lonely again (Like a dream come true) This winter when your heart becomes bitter Now you know who to call Her website says: humans—are they necessary? I close my eyes and imagine that scene
