Karate Days 04:12
Here the keys, get behind the wheel Gotta go, don't know how we’ll feel Hear the tunes, note by note beside them Gigs at ten, not to rush excitement These days are the ones they're writing About the times that you were all up here So rare to find so many folks enlightened Let’s grab a beer and take it off from here Trying to think, it’s been a year or two Since all those karate days we knew Ever since we got some rest, calmed the chaos to be our best And here we are still on our feet, still fucked up delightedly

Blacktop reaching out into the night Now we're taking flight Can't stop, passed the point of no return So let the motor burn If we don't survive this armageddon drive At least we'll feel alive to the bitter end Till then, turn up the radio I will carry the fire If you light the fuse We can take it right into The vanishing point Ghost towns dark along the interstate And silent as the grave Shut down, boarding up the promised land You better take my hand Leave the world behind Out of sight, out of mind Nothing left to find but the road ahead They said we wouldn't even get this far

Waiting 04:48
There’s a time at night When the rain starts to fall And it feels like home Before it all But I’m fading fast Just put in between So rarely heard And never seen Is it all pretend You say it’s not real That doesn’t change How it all feels Who’d have ever thought That we’d end up here Are we here Still it’s hard to take How some get set free Why can’t I be set free How long So long Too long I’ve been stuck here waiting And I Always tried To abide But I’ll stay here waiting How’s it supposed to be Do you even know yourself Something I can’t see But who needs a sense of self Maybe hide your glee Til you know, it’s too late You’re too late We’re too late How long So long Too long I’ve been stuck here waiting And I Always tried Do or die But I’ll stay here waiting

Lil Crusty 02:54
I was driving back home Another lonely Saturday night Sitting on a corner Trying to catch another lover’s eye Searching all night For some way to fill my pain inside Then into my window The answer arrived The bright warm lights Of Lil Crusty’s chocolate eclair pie And I don’t need no lover I don’t need no friends Cause flower comes from soil And soil never ends Sugar never leaves It always stays Sweets So I’ll take my seat and I will eat What’s that? Another? Yes The operator can’t hold me Fortune teller can’t scold me My nutritionist told me That it’s all gonna roll me Just one little bite to get me through the night And I will be alright long as Lil Crusty love me I took my seat Lil Crusty smiles up from my plate And as soon as he’s gone Another comes to take his place He’s chocolate on the outside Creamy on the inside A rush to my blood when he gets in my mouth So I’m gonna keep eating til I can go to sleep Cause crying’s easy when you’re too full to feel My mama said My papa said My doctor said They all have said You’re gonna die You're gonna die You're gonna die You’re gonna die You're gonna die You're gonna die Let's eat some pie You're gonna die But I will be alright long as Lil Crusty loves me

Better Days 04:08
Once in while, I’d come around your door Just to poke my head in and see how you were For as long as I remember you’ve been strolling through my mind Walking by and beating those big eyes Morning starts, you’re my thought, first thing in my head As the day goes by I start to figure why Never needed anyone, never gave a chance Maybe soon we could have that dance Better days ahead, somewhere up the road Who knows if it’s true, who knows where it goes But if we found a way, where all would be okay Cause tomorrow is another day, with no idea of what could play Never know what could lie ahead Facts and foes may certainly pose some problems to the plan But wishful thoughts are bought right down the lane Just can’t help but wonder, why not carry on May as well just stay up till the dawn
