Memory Boxer 01:28
Memory Boxer Number one in any lineup Pardon me, good sir: There's a brain inside my wine cup The keys are buried in the backyard With my memories in a glass jar You'll find me digging down Memory Boxer Flying kites beside the highway It sounds a bit absurd Until one day you catch lightning The keys are buried in the backyard With my memories in a glass jar You'll find me digging down

Shake 01:43
I fought a wrecking ball It didn't hurt at all Any time that I wake I just shake I found another hall To become very small Any time that I wake I just shake
3.
The grave man buries his feelings In a gray sandcastle With his suitcase waiting For a wave to crash down He don't need no love He just need a stone To replace his heart And mark his final home The grave man is good at concealing How his gray cloud pours In his skull, he is wailing And punching holes through doors He don't need no love He just need a stone To replace his heart And mark his final home

Fingerlips 00:52
Fingerlips, why do you run? We've waited years for this day to come How I want to belong around you Fingerlips, you hold the sun I'd melt for years to make you come How I want to be long around you How I want to belong around you

Warm electric is always on for you in your burrow Where you hide the nights are long, yet speed like an arrow When you're young, losing blood The world can't wait to mock your sorrow Play this song, sing along It won't be the same tomorrow Warm electric, turn it on and feel it in your marrow Power c(h)ords of different types, an undiscovered channel When you're young, losing blood The world can't wait to mock your sorrow Play this song, sing along It won't be the same tomorrow

Summer don't last up where we grow That's all right 'cause we live to fall Like dead leaves haunting these streets at night Everybody hangs around wherever the lights are down In this town, underground The bones make a wicked sound They won't stop when they start to pound out loud There's no rest for the wicked sound Born to die, that's how it goes Kids today are tomorrow's ghosts Like granite gravestones glinting in the night So while we're all still around, how about we lay it down? In this town, underground The bones make a wicked sound They won't stop when they start to pound out loud There's no rest for the wicked sound
7.
My thoughts are on display In Lucifer's X-Ray With you illuminated, too A bubble cloud array A puffy prison break With you, a getaway with you Three down and many to go What the hell else have we to show? My body's gone away In Lucifer's X-Ray It's true, now I'm see-through, too Now I'm see-through, too

Superjack 01:25
Superjack went driving after dark Oh no Woke to see a deer colliding with the car he drove It wasn't his fault, he'd passed out many hours before Superjack, you're bleeding from the heart Oh no We can see you've been declining in your mind and soul Superjack, come out of hiding and give us what we're owed
9.
In the other world, I was one to wonder In the underworld, I was torn asunder Been around, all I know I got no place left to go In the other world, I was born unwanted In the underworld, I've become beloved Been around, all I know I got no place left to go
10.
Puzzle Me 01:43
Puzzle me You have the missing pieces that I seek Corner me We make a finished picture when we sleep There's no cheating now If we're both allowed To change our shape and fill the other in Do you see? There's shades of me in you and you in me Puzzle me You are the one I need to be complete There's no cheating now If we're both allowed To change our shape and fill the other in
