Prototype

There goes one of a kind
There goes the neighbourhood
There goes a prototype
There goes a house of sun
Here comes the second wave
Here come the aftershocks
Here comes the Rodeo
Here comes the cannonball
What of the missing link
What could we never know
he looks just like you do
but not his brothers though
Dear Maggie was it right
Did you see the things you hoped you might
I’m sorry that we never got you there
Havana City in the April night

I wanna make promises that I can’t keep
I wanna make promises that I can’t keep
Let’s argue in Ikea
make a scene, go home and fuck
On unassembled furniture
fresh off the moving truck
Let’s rifle through old photographs
after the basement floods
black and whites & polaroids
on clothes lines up above
I wanna make promises that I can’t keep
I wanna make promises that I can’t keep
We’ll sign up for wine of the month
play drinking games for old folks
sick the cat on kitchen mice
feign laughs at your old jokes
In the Eastern Townships
with your old man on the porch steps
Knowing that we slowly die
With each and every breath
I wanna make promises that I can’t keep
I wanna make promises that I can’t keep
I wanna make promises that I can’t keep
I wanna make promises that I can’t keep

Relic In The New Age
04:02
|

Nothing here is built to survive
They’re claiming that a man, he walked on the moon
Well, maybe I could fly or even love if I try
But it’s a long shot
If I dare to make it a thing
You’ve got me by the barcode
Baby I know
I’m just a demo failed
But somehow I prevailed
It’s evolutionary
Now you’ve got something better than you had before
Something beautiful, something more
It’s something insatiable
You don’t know what for
Now I’m just a relic in the new age
Im just a relic in the new age
Wandering the streets in the night
Looking for a warm body to hold tight
I’ve got a tin man heart and all these cromag parts have long rusted
Now you’ve got something better than you had before
Something beautiful, something more
It’s something insatiable
You don’t know what for
Now I’m just a relic in the new age
Im just a relic in the new age
Oh I’ve been drinking every night
Oh but I just cannot feel the fight
There’s no life for livin
But I just keep on tickin’
Wires tangled in a noose
But even that I can’t do
Now you’ve got something better than you had before
Something beautiful, something more
It’s something insatiable
You don’t know what for
Now I’m just a relic in the new age
I'm just a relic in the new age
Now I’m just a relic in the new age
I'm just a relic in the new age
Now I’m just a relic in the new age
I'm just a relic in the new age
Now I’m just a relic in the new age
I'm just a relic in the new age
Now I’m just a relic in the new age
I'm just a relic in the new age

Radio Silence
05:17
|

Radio silence, radio silence
Radio silence
The future of violence
I am a cyborg
C127-AI15
and I have a mandate
To multiply
My heart is tick-tock-tick
Hardwired to the mainframe
My breathe is just wifi
But I am alive
Radio silence, radio silence
Radio silence
The future of violence
So who do I turn to
Where do I go
When I need some contact
Someone to hold
Do I have a mother
and who is the sire
Are they Ripley and Bishop
Did I inherit these wires
Emergency Contact
not something I need
I’m meant to self regulate
I’m not meant to bleed
Radio silence, radio silence
Radio silence
The future of violence
Radio silence, radio silence
Radio silence
The future of violence

Middle Earth
03:00

Where you gonna go
When you’re done with me
baby I don’t wanna know
oh who’s on the call
when you lose my number
I write it on the stall
in the middle of the earth
what you know but never see
it’s a violent birth
to be free
one day soon
maybe you look back
under cover of the moonlight
see my silhouette
a shadow in the park
with the cherry of a cigarette
It’s burns, no less
and you were mine
in the centre of the mess
in the middle of the earth
what you know but never see
it’s a violent birth
to be free
in the middle of the earth
what you know but never see
it’s a violent birth
in the middle of the earth
what you know but never see
it’s a violent birth
To be free
in the middle of the earth
what you know but never see
it’s a violent birth
To be free
Where you gonna go
When you’re done with me
baby I don’t wanna know, Ohhh

Liar Liar
03:07
|

I’m down
Like mercury, in old ‘Peg city. Out
Tap the matt, pack your bags. Goodbye
I gave you all I had to give. Get lit
make the call, chop it up, get high
And now my hands are shaking
And now my stomach turns
so Kiss me on my face dear
And watch me as I burn————
Liar liar, there’s no fire.
You got drunk but I got higher.
Liar liar, there’s no fire.
You got drunk but I got higher.
say what?
i think i heard you say just what you want
come sit here, no go away. You’re sad
i see it in the way you hold your glass
outstretched in hopes of more wine
And now my hands are shaking
And now my stomach turns
so, kiss me on my face dear
And watch me as I burn————
Liar liar, there’s no fire.
You got drunk but I got higher.
Liar liar, there’s no fire.
You got drunk but I got higher.
Liar liar, there’s no fire.
Liar liar, there’s no fire.
Liar liar, there’s no fire.
Liar liar, there’s no fire.
Liar liar, there’s no fire.

Best Bet
03:33
|

Third times a charm at the Three Speed
I twist your rubber arm to take me home with you
And oh these rows of dominoes that line the bar then stumble home
Are nothing but trouble and I want some
My eyes begin to dance when I’ve had a few
It doesn’t take too much this will be good for you
And hey I made it plain as day
My baby said that it’s ok
Do you smell trouble
Do you want some
Let me be your best bet
For a little bit
For a little while
I can take the hit
When it really hits
I will go out in style
Let me be your best bet
For a little while
Romance is alive and wandering through Parkdale
You stand there like a bullseye for my fantasies
And oh I know the best before
Can waft the hurt a mile away
But it’s still love if you look at it sideways
Let me be your best bet
For a little bit
For a little while
I can take the hit
When it really hits
I will go out in style
Let me be your best bet
For a little while
Love was not made just for you and I
And I’d say it’s less cupid and more samurai
And I have seen the break of day from both sides now
And either way
It’s only a goddamn beautiful sunrise
Let me be your best bet
For a little bit
For a little while
I can take the hit
When it really hits
I will go out in style
Let me be your best bet
For a little while

I Can Only Imagine
02:41

Tell me what you’re doing with him
I can only imagine, I can only imagine
making him surrender to you
it’s a trick you’ve mastered
I can only imagine
first of all
he’s gonna lose his breath
yes we all know it too
yes we do
like you did it to me and I hoped I did you
stare into the backside of his soul
leave him defenceless
i can only imagine
Later when he’s all skin and bones,
just a hollow carcass, I can only imagine
second time, he’s gonna think he’s tough
like his skin won’t bleed
like he’s seen enough to know
how to stop you just before you
sink your teeth in
and draw the blood out
pick himself up off the bathroom floor
can you dust a man off,
I can only imagine

Pollyanna

Pollyanna who do you think you are
put your coat on honey get the car
stare out the window till you’re home
sometimes dreams are better left alone
everybody’s talking about us
like everybody’s got something to lose
hey Cassandra
put your flare gun down
They can’t see they’re too far out of town
blow a kiss before you leave
a tornado of you to be set free
everybody’s got some secret
running through their veins
oh let it bleed
Pollyanna
You’re not made for these parts
You tick in tandem with all the bleeding hearts
let’s make a matchstick symphony
oxygen to fuel the melody
everybody’s full moon fever
why don’t we just roll the windows down
everybody’s hot and bothered
why don’t we just burn it to the ground
everyone’s got bad ideas
maybe we’re just thinking out loud
