Pizza Hut Commercials

The radio was playing alcoholic nightmare wet dream songs
The radio was playing pizza hut commercials all night long
But mainly it was just two people talking about things that happened today
And mainly it was just people saying it's not going to be okay
The radio was playing beer time billboard inch worm half-word songs
The radio was playing pizza hut commercials all night long
And mainly it was just people talking about things that happened
And mainly it was just people saying it's not going to be okay
They made it sound so simple it's not simple to me at all
They made it sound so obvious it's not obvious to me at all
They made it sound like magic it's not magic to me lately
They made it sound so simple it's not simple for me
The radio was playing democratic torch songs for my mom
The radio was playing pizza hut commercials all night long
And mainly it was just people talking about things that happened
And mainly it was just people saying it's not going to be okay
They made it sound so simple it's not simple to me at all
They made it sound so obvious it's not obvious to me at all
They made it sound like magic it's not magic to me lately
They made it sound so simple it's not simple for me

Aliens

A bunch of aliens came down in a big green cloud
and they landed right next to my house
and they had beady little eyes and six scrawny legs
and they walked right up to me and this is what I said
This is my dog this is my cat
this is the ocean this is my dad
this is the tidal wave right before the crash
this is my dog this is my cat
I love you more than I used to love girls in high school which is a lot
I love you more than I used to love doing whippets in the parking lot
I love you more than my rich friends love traveling to iceland
You remind me of this picture of me and my family from 1997
See look you can see my dog you can see my cat
you can see the ocean you can see my dad
you can see the tidal wave right before the crash
you can see my dog see my cat
We live in the future now where everything is so instant
Everything is now near to us that used to be distant
you got instant rice you got instant friends
you can have an instant toaster
you got instant cops with instant death just sitting in their holster
and you think boy where is my dog where is my cat
where is the ocean where is my dad
where is the tidal wave I thought I'd hear it crash
where is my dog where is my cat
where is my dog where is my cat
where is the ocean where is my dad
where is the tidal wave I thought I'd hear it crash
where is my dog where is my cat

I knew it was bad news cuz
you were in sweatpants
hadn't put make up on
your legs were restless
looking down at your feet
kind of hungover
half the way down the street
you said it's over
Cuz you found something to else to do
And I found something in my eyes
Tylenol in my blood
a glass of water
I get so emotional
when I'm hungover
and looking back through the past
searching for something
I missed on the first pass
but there is nothing
Cuz you found something to else to do
And I found something in my eyes
You messaged my in June
and I forgot to reply

You don't know me but I really wanna be in your band
I like the way you all act I like the way that you stand
Starting out we could play a few house shows
I've got a cool guitar and I play solos
I used to have blisters on my fingers
Now all I got are
complications
immunizations
mortgage insurance
I listen to the current
You don't know me but I thought that we could fall in love
I want a house and a car I want to sleep enough
I used to have blisters on my fingers
Now all I got are
complications
immunizations
paid vacation
cauterization
mortgage insurance
listen to the current
and dream about high school
and what you are up to
I dream about high school
and what you are up to
I listen to the current

There's hole in your brain where the light doesn't change it just sways in the afternoon sun
and in the middle of the rain it's the one that you cheated everyday in class it's the test that you never want to pass
People always talk talk talk talk talk talk
like they really know know know know know know
and they don't at all all all all all all
they don't at all
3/4 of the truth is what I told to you
I swear I saw you dancing in the middle of a room
it's the one that you cheated every day in class
it's the test that you never want to pass
people always talk talk talk talk talk talk
like they really know know know know know know
and they don't at all all all all all all
they don't at all
people always walk walk walk walk
right through your door door door door door door
to ring your alarm la la la la la
ring you alarm
people always talk talk talk talk talk talk talk talk talk talk talk talk talk talk talk talk talk talk

Canadian Bride

Will you be my canadian bride
Tell your friend I don't wanna give him a ride
You always grit your teeth in the light of the day
but when you get home you got nothing to say
I like you regardless of your bad habits
leaving dirty dishes up in the attic
hopping the fence with your skeleton crew
back when I was young I would do that too
Eating macaroni with your only spoon
Hoping and praying that you'll be home soon
Putting my hat on your gigantic head
Telling our mom you might be better off dead
I like you regardless of your bad decisions
picking your skin and going compliment fishing
hopping the fence with your skeleton crew
back when I was young I would do that too
I like you regardless of your bad habits
leaving dirty dishes up in the attic
hopping the fence with your skeleton crew
back when I was young I would do that too
It's the cost lying, the cost trying, the cost of prying
that brings me down everytime
everytime

Everyone wants to be beautiful babies
You look like your 18 you were born in the 80s
kinda makes sense that you want to live that way
I'd shave off my hair and sleep in every week day
But the house that you grew up in really wasn't that big
it just felt that way back when you were a kid
and the kids that you grew up with they weren't that cruel
they just acted that way back in middle school
every wants to have somebody's babies
and bring them to airports and fly them on airplanes
kinda makes sense that you want to live that way
running in circles and going to ball games
But the house that you grew up in really wasn't that big
it just felt that way back when you were a kid
and the kids that you grew up with they weren't that cruel
they just acted that way back in middle school
we all acted that way back in middle school
ooooh

It's a lie that you can't keep telling
it's your mouth that you can't stop moving around
it's a code on a billboard in your hometown
it's a wine that you can't stop drinking up
Sarah
if you dream about her every night
and the last thing you remember was saying good night
There's a word that you're trying to come up with
There's a word that you can't get out of your head
it's a boat on a billboard in a home town
it's a wine that you can't stop drinking up
Sarah
if you dream about her every night
and the last thing you remember was saying good night
and the last thing you remember
the last thing you remember
the last thing you remember was saying good night

Bouquet of flowers and a corny poem
does it seem to say that I love you?
Bouquet of flowers and a long walk home
does it seem to say that I'm missing you?
Is it all the same?
Is it all the same?
Is it all exactly the same?
I have a friend who preaches peace and love
to women children and men
I have a friend who preaches peace and love
and he ended up fucking my gf
and it felt the same
and it felt the same
and it felt exactly the same
and it felt the same
and it felt the same
and it felt exactly the same
I take a match to all the things that I love
Oh boy I'm such an anarchist
I swore off sex and I abstain from drugs
So that I can write a big fat hit
It all sounds the same
It all sounds the same
It all sounds exactly the same
you all sound the same
you all sound the same
you all sound exactly the same
Bouquet of flowers and corny poem
does it seem to say that I love you?
