Oh Yvonne, it’s true
s
But I promised not to say
s
What went down
s

Oh Yvonne, it’s dumb
s
I don’t know why I am turning red
s
Because I know you don’t mind
s

He’ll have set it up to fall
s
She’ll have set herself to wait
s
Far enough away to know
s
Far enough
s
This wedding song’s dumb
s
Oh Yvonne, it’s like a wish
s
When I’d heard that she’d left him
s
It made me think just for a second
s

Oh Yvonne, it’s dumb
s
I don’t know what to say
s

She’ll have set it up to wait
s
He’ll have set himself to fall
s
Far enough away to know
s
Far enough
s
This wedding song’s dumb
s

He’ll have set it up to fall
s
And she’ll have set herself to wait
s
Far enough away to know
s
Far enough
s
This wedding song’s dumb

Poe Poe

Take your parents’ credit cards
s
Buy a bunch of crap that you don’t need
s
And will never ever use
s
Your mom and dad are out of town
s
And they trust you implicitly
s
A rubber chicken for the mail man
s
Is on your horizon
s

And there is nothing
s
That I’d rather do
s
And there is nothing
s
That I’d rather do
s
Your sugar daddy’s turning 50
s
He shops for you indiscreetly
s
A fashion show
s
In his penthouse and black silk kimono
s
Step out into your short shorts
s
Put out as often as you need to
s
To make his summer #1
s

And there is nothing
s
That I’d rather do
s
And there is nothing
s
That I’d rather do

Suha

Black lung got you down tonight
s
Saving it all for work
s
Suha pins her arms to her side
s
Watching her twin want to die
s

I hate my body, I hate the desert
s
Please let me escape
s
When will I be going home?
s
I hate my husband, I hate my children
s
I’m going to hang myself
s
When will I be going home?
s

Black hair got you down tonight
s
Black love, black cuts from your work
s
Weep like the busted girl you are
s
Wash down your hope in that car
s

I hate my body, I hate the desert
s
Please let me escape
s
When will I be going home?
s
I hate my husband, I hate my children
s
I’m going to cut my wrists
s
When will I be going home?
s

My name is Suha, I’m twenty-five years old
s
I’m gonna hump a cop
s
When will I be going home?

Anne Dong

Grab my face
s
As hard as it’s funny to you
s

While I pretend
s
I’m your real dad
s

“How is Anne’s cough today, Miss Sheryl?”
s

I pretend to ask
s

A daughter who I bug
s
And can only stand to be around me for about 30 seconds
s
But whose picture I wear
s
In a pin, inside my jacket
s
So, who is this picture?
s
That’s you, Anne
s

You’re not coming to my birthday
s
Oh, I know

Over Over

I know, I know, I know it’s over
s
Upon the platform, inside the slaughterhouse
s
Just a slip away from murder
s
Over
s

In the night, a mystery should unfold
s
Where I wish for waking up unaware
s
But it’s not unclear at all
s
Underlined in red, on your jacket sleeve
s
Were the curse blank as a toothache
s
But it’s not unclear at all
s

I know, I know, I know it’s over
s
I know, I know, I know
s

I know, I know, I know it’s over
s
Your final descent, ick, ick, ick, ick, ick
s
Mixing pills and gas with incest
s
On the plane over
s

Folded up the last year of your life
s
Every play you tried to write in school
s
Venice is the right place to kill yourself
s
Like a cricket blob in the cactus club
s
Pass away and chirping in my ear
s

I know, I know, I know it’s over
s
I know, I know, I know
s

Dr. Troll

Lala holds inside of her
s
The horrible dream of being somebody
s
Thinking about her dream makes her feel
s
Like it’s stupid
s

A dream whose coming true
s
Is a must, a must
s
It would be so much easier
s
If she was a real girl
s
The preschool students ask her
s
What she is
s
She thinks, “I don’t know”
s
She says, “What do you think?”
s

Listen to On Fire
s
And pretend someone could love you
s
Listen to “Birthday”
s
And dream they knew the half of it
s
Listen to “Lady Day”
s
And pretend someone could love you
s
Listen to Nick Drake
s
And dream they knew the half of it
s

Hives Hives

Put that gun to my temple
s
Put that gun to my heart
s
Always walk off the plank, chicha
s
All, always, all, always into the dark
s

A-I-D-S, H-I-V
s
I cannot wait to die
s
Can’t you tell?
s
Can’t you tell?
s
Can’t you tell?
s
Never finish my degree, chachi
s
Never played with the Pogues
s
Throw my head out the window
s
And cement my feet into the dark
s

A-I-D-S, H-I-V
s
I cannot wait to die
s
Can’t you tell?
s
Can’t you tell?
s
Can’t you tell?

Luber

Luber, I want to hug you
s
I want to tell your mom to love you
s

You got your dreams
s
It’s about the Birthday Party
s
And I’ve got my dreams
s
Whatever they used to be
s

Luber, on your birthday
s
I will answer your one-thousand questions
s
Luber, let me help you
s
It will ease my conscience
s
What would it be
s
If you knew were saving my soul?
s
And what would you think
s
If you knew you were the toast of my town?
s

Luber, on your birthday
s
I will answer your one-thousand questions
s
Luber, let me help you
s
It will ease my conscience

I Broke Up (SJ)

It was not posed
s
It messed me up
s
It was her recording herself whisper
s
“What is it worth to me?”
s
Thinking one thought
s
The advice to be okay
s
Break into children’s hospital crying out
s
“Don’t fuck with me, don’t fuck with me!”
s

And I broke up
s
Without a note
s
And I broke up
s

It’s a mess
s
Go, go, go, go away from here
s
Food color poured out over her shorts mixed with
s
I will make a gate you cannot pass
s
Taped to their loincloth
s
A sign that says “Why us?!”
s
Flip yourself off but say “Erase it”
s
When someone sees you
s
“This is the worst vacation ever!
s
I am going to cut open your forehead
s
With a roofing shingle!”
s

And I broke up
s
Without a note
s
And I broke up
s
And I broke up
s
Behind your house
s
And I broke up
s

Don Diasco

Good God, baby
s
Lady’s high
s
Baby aping full on high
s\

I cross my heart all the time
s
It’s always the same
s
Nothing happened
s
I cross my wrist, now you shut up
s
It’s always the same
s
Nothing happened

Miya, jailbird
s
Softy sigh
s
Miya, who cried
s
Secret sigh
s

I cross my heart all the time
s
It’s always the same
s
Nothing happened
s
I cross my wrist, now you shut up
s
It’s always the same
s
Nothing happened
s
I cross my heart all the time
s
It’s always the same
s
Nothing happened
s
I cross my wrist, now you shut up
s
It’s always the same
s
Nothing happened
