Haven't you heard? Long distance relationship is a four letter word
Pick up the phone, hang up, different time zone, wanna give up
Bummed about the thunder cloud
Silence can be very loud
What you doin? I'm just writing it down down down
Bein alone can be all right
Then there are times, especially at night
I used to love the telephone but now I hate it
The benefits of email exaggerated
I gotta have contact, pretty eye contact, so I say
Haven't you heard? Long distance relationship is a four letter word

There's nothing like having something to say
I'm spending Friday nights with dna
And what's in this world not to celebrate
We both can't sleep we like to stay up late
But I've got something I'll just say to you
I'll visit you at work so you know it's true
There's nothing in this world like makin a play
When it feels so right in every way
dna
dna
So who's the double helix who loves her Pabst?
Who's the dancy leg who loves her cats?
The prettiest polymer in all PA
I'm spending Friday nights with
dna
dna
I'd do anything to be your everything
And even if its nothing it's already something great
I don't wanna wait for something to say
I wanna spend the night with dna
And I don't know what else to do
You're in my blood every day

River Of Sound

It's getting hot, the middle of the summer
And I'm in love with the sun
I've got the AC on
And all that's happening outside
Is tracking mud on the inside
Stroll the sandy beaches (hot nights)
Meet me in the canyon (summer time)
Floating on a river of sound
Floating on a river of sound
The River Of Sound
Gotta leave the office, it's the middle of a Sunday
How did I even get in?
What is this state I'm in?
I can't remember a thing
I can't remember anything
Stroll the sandy beaches (hot nights)
Meet me in the water (sometimes)
Floating on a river of sound
Floating on a river of sound
The River Of Sound

I've known you for two hours
And you have special powers
That only girls from St. Louis ever possess
I wanted to make it last, 'cause some things happen so fast
We met at Vintage Vinyl
'cause things are never final
And we may meet again, I think you know what that means
I wanted to cover your background scenes
And strike down the set of your broken dreams
Let's ride a convertible past Carl's Drive-in
I know it hurts, so let's find the words
Another night at Cicero's
I like to go 'cause Scout goes
We give props to the young bands that are making the scene
You're on the set list, if you know what I mean
Your satellite downtown 10 miles between
I feel like I know you, though I've never been
You're wild at heart so let me play my part
For just two hours
And you have special powers
That only girls from St. Louis ever possess

I'm in love with Josh Waller Weinberg's wife, not on my life, what am I like?
The way she hits your arm to emphasize a point
The way we struck a chord the night we shared the joint
I'm in love with Josh Waller Weinberg's wife
I'm in love, there was just the two of us that night
And it felt all right, though it's not right
The thing about her guy, there's nothing bad to say
And the moment that we had she must have them every day
I'm in love with Josh Waller Weinberg's wife
I'm trying to forget her but I'm lonely all the time
I know she loves him better
Please be mine
He recently has hinted that I don't know right from wrong
But you don't know the half of it, that's why I wrote this song
I'm in love with Josh Waller Weinberg's wife, I know I'm right, seldom in my life
Because their love is solid I will never get a chance
This melody is all I have to get inside her heart
I'm in love with Josh Waller Weinberg's wife, with Josh Waller Weinberg's wife
Josh Waller Weinberg's wife

How To Be Alone
03:19

Learn me some karate and we'll chop the day in half
Learn me up some whiskey and I've always got your back
Cause you're always showin, how to keep it real and
You have really reeled me in again
So bye bye shepherd's pie, I'm goin Atkins on your ass and I ain't ever sayin why
That's the way I'm rollin, on a Sunday morning, and the dust keeps flyin
And I feel like dyin
Where did all the money go that fluttered down from another town
Is it time to leave the ground and find my way to another sound?
It's you I knew all the time, it's you I despised and loved all the time
So screw it I knew it I lost it and blew it on down
So screw it I knew it I lost it and blew it on down
I'm reading How To Be Alone by that guy that wrote The Corrections book
And even as it's sinking in I'm hopin you take another look
At this broken but perfect love, the best and the worst things about being in love
If I could put time in a bottle I'd drink til the end
And if I could put time in a bottle, you were my best friend
Learn me some karate and we'll chop the day in half
Learn me up some whiskey and I've always got your back

Addicted To Myspace

I'm addicted to myspace, I'm addicted to her face
I'm addicted to the human race but it's virtual and I'm searchable
And it's been ringin in my ears, on the air every day
I tried to physically find you but I lost my world wide way
I was free for a moment, I thought I'd found my way home
But in the cold light of day break we were even more alone
I'm addicted to myspace, I'm addicted to her face
I'm addicted to the world wide waste, I'm a dick
It even kept me from sleeping, the sun will rise every day
I'm addicted to myspace but less so since you went away
We're all addicted to the web, like fireflies caught in a spider's web
But I testify that I can't live a virtual life, so I've resigned to shut it down
I'm addicted to myspace, I'm a friend of a friend
I can't believe it but it really happened and then it had to end
Sick and Tired of Being Sick and Tired
If you feel sick and tired
Of being sick and tired
Of feeling uninspired today
I'm a garage, I'm only a mirage
So join me and we'll fly away
I know it's dark, but we create a spark
Illuminating treacherous terrain
So if you're feeling tired of being sick and tired
I'm planning to get higher right away
I'm hoping we decide to go away
And never sick and tired of being sick and tired
I'm going to the bed you made today

Sunday Night Blues
01:55

Way down the road, I won't recall, a specific Sunday
But now I know, Sunday blows, Sunday blues
The same TV shows and Sunday night chores, don't stay up past midnight
Because Sunday blows, everyone knows, about the Sunday night blues
The alarm by the bed, the book goes unread
The homework undone, the night ate the sun
And everyone knows that Sunday blows, I got the Sunday night blues
Everyone knows that Sunday blows, Sunday blues
Everyone knows, Sunday blows, Sunday blues

What I don't understand is why you always leave when I want you around
I got a feeling I finally lost you, we talked for months without making a sound
And you, too good to be true, I knew, I knew
It's running through in my mind, took a long time to find, but I'm already resigned
Expiration dates keep us fresh and awake
But I remember the late late nights with you, I knew I knew
What I don't understand is why I didn't go when I still had a choice
I always knew that it's improbable to sing songs in another man's voice
It's running round in my mind, can't leave it behind, I'm taking you as a sign
I meant every word, you can rest assured
I'm in your corner for a long long time
What I don't understand is why we used to sigh when no one was around
I got a feeling a finally lost you, we walked for miles without leaving the ground
I knew, too good to be true, me and you, I knew, I knew

Stuck
02:45

I've always seen you as a pussycat
Forever stuck up in a tree
It happens every day I'm used to you
A long term love hate family
Come down to earth and play the right way
I'm freakin out cause I can't talk to you
Sometimes it seems like we are throwing it away
You bungle everything I do
And I've got nothing to say
Cause if I do I'm gonna blow out
I don't think there's a better way, I'm stuck with you
Can't even buy the way things should be
It might work out in spite of you
Don't think you'll ever get to know me
You make my little black heart blue
It always makes me nuts
Your voice on the phone makes me tense
A feeling in my guts I'm stuck with you, I'm stuck with you, I'm stuck

Feverish And Friendly

One two three, can it be, that the lights went out in me
And the only thing that I can think is sleep
What the hell was so important that you had to wake me up at 4am
Well now I'm up so I guess I'll stay up, maybe order Chinese breakfast
And commute again
Lack of sleep is surreal, it's a mellow frequency I feel
And my eyes are itchy, my throat is hollow, my hands are rubber, pillow lover
Make no mistake about it, I'm awake, it's you who's dreaming that you rang me up
I'll be a friend to you, I dreamt of you, I'm feverish & friendly
Cause I made it up
And there's a photograph I painted of you, I hung it on the wall, so white it glows
I was a poster boy for passing out but now it's a new day dawning
And I had to go
One two three, can it be, that the lights went out in me
