Out of Love
Shall we torch another town tonight
Light it up, watch it burn right to the ground
You play broken and never even catch the eye
And yet protest your luckless life tonight
Out of love
But did you ever even know it?
It’s not like you could ever really show it to them
Were you just biding your time
When we were living on the nickel and dime?
And we were living on the edge of this town
And we were looking for a way to get down
But we were dead before we hit the dead ground
And we would never find a way
Street scene kids they’re just looking for a ride
And the edges of dreams they’ll never find
Late night bus rides a chance to maybe start again
And yet you’re set to burn it down tonight
Out of love
But did you ever even know it?
It’s not like you could ever really show it to them
Were you just biding your time?
When we were living on the nickel and dime
And we were living on the edge of this town
And we were looking for a way to get down
But we were dead before we hit the dead ground
And we would never find a way

Shadows Throw Bodies
We were accidental friends
Swaying at the same dance
You taught me how to play guitar
By Musket and Sextant and Sonic Youth
All your Sonic Youth
Later we’d be fast friends
Broken limbs under sea
Detune your life again
Learn to take it down
And we’d take it down
We’d take it down
I got the news late last night
You had taken a rope and tied
To a fan on the ceiling
You stood on a chair and you let it go
You let it go
You let it go
Now that shadows throw bodies
Everything is upside down
You hear the sirens in the dark night
Know they’re coming for us but
We’ll take them down
We’ll take them down

Nothing Else to Do
Streaming down your avenue
Your old man is chasing you
With a crowbar and a plastic gun
Will we ever be anyone
Just one more song on Rage tonight
In the morning we’ll make it right
Steal a car, jump the train
And never be anyone else again
And when we go we’ll go for good
And not for evil though we should
Make that joke every single time
And when we play let’s play for keeps
And we will think that we are deep
‘Cause we can write a word or two
There’s nothing else to do.
Low rise dreams they are the worst
So close you can feel them burst
And splatter on the kitchen floor
Like the ones that came before
Tough guys down behind the shed
Teaching girls to give them head
We sneak down for a better view
Cause we got nothing else to do
And when we go we’ll go for good
And not for evil though we should
Make that joke every single time
And when we play let’s play for keeps
And we will think that we are deep
‘Cause we can write a word or two
There’s nothing else to do.

Sixteen
Sixteen, it’s summertime back home
Sneaking out of windows, don’t let em know
We would meet on slippery slides
And we’d dance in the moonlight reverie
And I always wanna be that guy
Seventeen, the streets are empty they’re dead
The town was ours for the taking if we only cared
We would stop behind maple trees
And drink in the sap of everything
And I always wanna be that guy
And laying underneath the Milky Way
You turn to me and calmly say
The atoms of stars, and you are in my heart
Eighteen, the city’s dark, it’s cold
The double lines on the highway shining gold
I’m on my way to see you
And I don’t yet know the truth of anything
And I always wanna be that guy

Bruises
I do like dancing all night long at your house
When the lights are down I can feel the beat
You call a candle by another name
You call a candle by another name
And I know that this is going to end
LA’s lit up like a Christmas tree
From where we are we can see the ocean
And I wonder if we’re going to be
Good as we were in our twenties
In our twenties
In our twenties
So we take a swim though it’s seven degrees
If there were clothes I don’t remember them
Now you’re calling love by another name
And I know that this is going to end
And you think we go ‘round again
But I know this is going to end
And you think we go ‘round again
We go out drinking though it’s quarter to three
If there were drugs I don’t remember them
And I guess that this just has to be
The middle part of our winter
LA’s lit up like a Christmas tree
From where we are we can see the boulevard
And I guess that we can hardly be
Good as we were in our twenties
In our twenties
In our twenties
So we take a walk through the darkened hills
Thinking ‘bout coyotes and the dogs they kill
Now I’m not some guy you met at the beach
But I know that you are out of reach
And you think we go ‘round again
But I know this is going to end
And you think we go ‘round again
But I know this is going to end
