Summertime

Summer, summer, summertime
Summer, summer, summertime
Oh god, oh god the heat it never ends
it’s just like the song says,
it was too hot to sleep but not too hot to sleep with you
are you coming round? are you coming round again?
bad news, bad news upon the line
things were getting bad and then we lost one
(Oh, Devast, I didn’t know…)
we lost one again.
Do you remember when Joey died?
Crying in front of his mother, “Oh, he was a good man.”
Was all I could say, standing beside his casket- “Oh, he was a good man.”
But he drank himself to death.
Summer, summer, summertime
Summer, summer, summertime
Kiss me, kiss me now
kiss me until I forget
kiss me, kiss me til I have no name
there are things I need and hungers I can’t name
but this is never enough, never enough
and the heat, and the heat
the heat
summer, summer, summertime
summer, summer, summertime
and three feet away the golden child sleeps inside my bed
mother’s got headphones on there’s voices in her head
and I hide myself away from you
Lying on the stairs, I’m thinking now there’s no sleeping tonight
bad news is always coming round this time of year
of year
summer, summer, summertime

I Don't Believe You

I don’t want to be awake right now
the sky gets light outside my bedroom
and I drift away and
I wake up wanting it and I think about you
but I don’t believe
no, I don’t believe you
I don’t believe you
oh, I don’t believe you
I don’t believe you
and my friends say, hey, now, can’t you do better?
and my friends say, hey, now, let’s get you better
let’s get you a better one
can’t stand that look on your face
but you know, but you know- oh-
I don’t believe you
no, I don’t believe you
I don’t believe you but I but want you
but I want you, I want you
god, you’re sweet, sometimes
and god, you’re nice, sometimes
but I don’t believe you
I don’t believe you
oh, I don’t believe you- oh-
I don’t believe you
no, I don’t believe you
I don’t believe you
no, I don’t believe
I don’t believe you
and I don’t believe you

Danny…
And I still think
of that place in your bed
as somewhere warm and safe and home
even though you said clearly, “Baby, no go, no go, Baby”
and I get scared at the thought of my bed without you
had to flip the switch and flip the script
my life without you
and I dream about you still
last night, I dreamed about you
and that one that you said was a friend, well, she wasn’t
and I knew I was supposed to get mad right then but I didn’t
and you looked at me waiting for me to shout
but I didn’t, because I’d already left that space inside my head
baby, no go, baby, no go baby, baby no go
and I’d already left that place, where I said, “Baby, don’t go..."

Already Ready

hey, now, baby, are you awake
I don’t think you’re awake
but you’re starting something with me
lover’s geometry
hey, no, baby, are you awake yet
I don’t think you’re awake
but you’re starting something with me
and you say, what are you doing to me?
oh….
I’m already ready for you
And when you knock on the door
it’s three steps back to the floor
oh, I knew about your plans for romance
but baby, right now
I know you’re scheming about getting away
about kisses, champagne
all the things that you’ll do to me
but I’m already ready for you
oh…
baby, oh…
I’m already ready for you
Pretend to read this book
but really think of you
and when you come here to me
you can tell
I’m already ready for you
oh…
I’m already ready for you.

Monkeys

hey son, how many monkeys do you carry
oh, I don’t know
I’ve got backpacks full
and I carry them everly
don’t you know/sorrows come and go
don’t you know/ever patiently, oh, I have loved you so
it’s a tricky deed
and memory deceives me constantly
oh, god, I have crawled
you can knock me down, but you can’t keep me there
you can’t, you can’t keep me there
don’t you know/sorrows come and go
don’t know/but ever patiently, I have loved you so
honest, I have crawled and
I have fallen far
but in those darkest nights, they can knock me
but they can’t keep me there
oh, don’t you know/ever patiently
oh, I have loved you so

Lay Me Down
02:54

you know how you get
when you can’t eat and you can’t sleep
and you can’t do anything about thinking about thinking about thinking about thinking about thinking
and this is where my old man used to grab me and say,
this is when we stop
this is where we lie down and stop
and you lay me down
this is where we stop
this is where we stop
this is where we stop
and this is where it begins
and you lay me down
hey now, baby, no more thinking, no more talking, no more tricking
this is where we stop the spiral
touch you, baby, take you down
and you lay me down
and you lay me down

Last night in the studio
i got cross-eyed drunk, I could barely sing
but believe me, oh, I could sing, I could sing
my brother’s on the beat
oh god, it hit me so deep
and I want to get inside of you
I want to get you high
don’t stop, baby
I want to get you high
I want to get you deep
and we do it again
I want to get you high
I want to get you deep
and we do it again, again, again

ooh ooh ooh
you don’t what to do-oo-oo
and I know you’re girl ain’t cool
but she gone come through for you
Stand fast, hold on
who’s good enough to drive
I don’t even know how we got ourselves out of there alive
are you good, are you good?
oh, there’s going to be a bruise
hold on, stand up, no man down
I know it’s scary but no one died
go and get your things right now because I found us a ride
get it together, I’m going to get you home safe
There’s a couch in my house
with your name on it
Got a pillow and a blanket
and some water too
There’s a bucket by the couch, in case you need to
Oh, I know you’re good, but it’s there if you need it
No, I’m good, there’s my room
no, you can’t sleep with me
the way you treat yourself on Friday nights it kind of hurts me
But we can talk if you want
tomorrow over coffee
but you should know my kids get here at 8:30
let’s see if we can get those shoes off my couch
no, i’m good
i’m just glad you’re not in jail
no way, you’re cool
Hey, now, children, let’s be quiet
that’s not some strange man
he is one of mother’s friends, you know, from the band
he got home really late so he’s really tired
yeah, I don’t know why that bucket’s there
you can put it away now
so his eyes have opened
please go take him this coffee cup
but when you offer it to him, make sure you use a very gentle voice

Of Montreal
03:16
|
|||
|
You bring the car and I’ll bring the snacks
I haven’t felt this good since my last relapse
couple hours’ drive and the weather’s fine
and nothing to do but listen to tracks
what you got?
you say, do you know Of Montreal
he’s freaky like Prince but with harmonies
I say I don’t know, but you gotta teach me
and we’ve got miles of these songs
we’ve never heard together
oh, oh you know I love you
you know I love you, always always
you know I love you, love you always
it’s time you learned about this thing I have for Journey
I don’t know all the words but I sure try
I like to car dance in the passenger seat and you say why,
why, baby, why
why you gotta laugh at your own jokes
because if I didn’t laugh, nobody would
I think it’s time we stopped for gas and like, maybe six Red Bulls
maybe seven or eight
you know I love you always
you go set up the lights and I’ll put on eyeliner
a couple hours, we’ll be making people dance
I go in the bathroom and make myself disappear
but right now it’s you and me
and miles and miles
and you say, do you know Of Montreal
he’s freaky like Prince but with harmonies
I say I don’t know, but you gotta teach
you know I love you always

god, it’s been such a long week
but now the kids are asleep
why don’t you come to my house
keep waiting quiet outside
until I can take you upstairs
and baby, it’s good with you
take what you want
I’ll give you everything
come on up, eyes wide
get you inside
i’ve been thinking, I’ve been thinking, I’ve been waiting for you
baby, it’s good with you
baby, it’s good
take what you want
I’ll give you everything
maybe for an hour or two
there’s nothing in the world but you
but even when I’m out there, back of my mind
I’m gonna get you inside
oh, baby, it’s good
take what you want
I’ll give you everything
