some commotion
from the ocean
I know that I can't control the constant motion
washing up
on the beach
gonna try to grab whatever's in my reach
seven smoothies unattended
roll my shorts up at the waist
silk shirt on me at all times
to hide the cool blue water racing
through my veins
prince of pipeline
with a coral crown
got you dressing like a tourist in your hometown
said I got tan lines
and red clay rosy cheeks
and you know things get crazy
when the sun dips down below the trees
and in the morning we'll get breakfast
and we'll find some pools to drain
sunlight bounces off the water
and it microwaves my brain
in the morning we'll get breakfast
and we'll find some pools to drain
sunlight burns right through my eyelids
and it microwaves my brain
don't be the cloud to my silver lining
watch me float around till the end of time

drag you off the beach
I need to tell you something
we thought they did but now they don't anymore
tie your shoes on my favorite street
meet me here at the banyan tree tonight
take two scoops and make a break for the door
we'll be raiding and hating for sport for the next few days
this place has everything for every hole in your face
just meet me at the banyan
someone just touched that turtle
it's catch these hands o'clock
I dropped my ray-bans in the toilet
ol' boy with the socks and sandals got us kicked out of the pool
then he got attacked by a marine iguana
I'm sorry
oh I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
it keeps on going
we keep going
just keeps going
I'm sorry

nothing gets done if I don't do it
gets done on time if I do nothing
I'm not gonna try in case I blow it until I make it
know that mask from when I was behind it
do yourself a favor
show us all what you've been up to
storm gonna come and shake things up
a certain sound to wake you up
that's made by humans which means it's sus
come with us
before you take a swordfish to the dome
in a hurricane
no of course it's not your fault
continue to complain
exhaust every excuse as to why you take pride in staying dry
you know the one forever failure is the one who never tries
you caught yourself
you took the bait
and the hook and line and sinker
but that's a waste of water
you might as well just sit there like a sprinkler
after hours on the fairway
blades of jade drink up the dew
did you see the masked men took my bike
they went looking for you
simplicity in the city
paradise in trouble
come out and sharpen your sun bleached bones
and we can pop the dirty bubble
simplicity in the city
paradise in trouble
come out and sharpen your sun bleached bones
and we can pop the dirty bubble

you can change the world but not too much
we'll tell you everything you need to know
but that's not much
don't let your skin get microwaved
avoid the fish of death
we're gonna save the world
but first how long can you hold your breath
life was meant to stay beneath the waves
we've come to collect the ones who packed up and escaped
is this what it is
I would but I won't
we wish there were something we could do
but there isn't

D.B. Cooper
05:25

pineapple acid stings my mouth
are we still going out tonight
or should we stay inside and get some rest,
up at 4 to catch our flight
look up at the windows
sheets of shimmering emerald
i wanna stay here forever
well what if we did come across
a little hut where we could live
up in the canopy
above the temples and pyramids
we could stay there forever
alone but together
what if we just disappeared like D.B. Cooper did
so far no sign of a treehouse,
talkin like the Robinson kind
lookin at me like i'm losing my mind
but if i get lost i want you to find me
and you know where to look,
you can read me like a kid in a Kipling book
the one with the jungle
original land of the lost
it just disappeared like D.B. Cooper did
up in the canopy
above the temples and pyramids
we could stay there forever
alone but together
well maybe we'll just disappear like D.B. Cooper did
i know he's out there in a cave
he talks to animals
he eats fresh fruit
in his dirty boots
and hides from cannibals
but lonely nights, they sneak up on him
insects on your skin
see there's this girl,
he planned to meet her
but Tupac swooped in
traced behind her,
couldn't find her
voice echoes through the roots
but he missed his chance,
he only jumps when he has a parachute
we'll come across a little hut where we can live
up in the canopy
above the temples and pyramids
we could stay there forever
alone but together
oh, baby we'll just disappear like D.B. Cooper did

Nocturnal
04:58

i'm never out this late
one on one cabaret
i never smile that way
i wanna pull back that moon, rewind and replay
leave my body in my bed
with a wandering mind
with you stuck inside my head
are you feeling the same way
or is it just another night
for you
to run around doing the things that you always do
easy for you, you're nocturnal
and I don't think I can keep up
with you
i don't care, I'll wear
heart on my sleeve, put my name on the list
the truth is out there
take a chance, plan in advance
build it up just to watch it fall apart
and then it's just another night
for you
to run around doing the things that you always do
look what you've done, i'm nocturnal
and it is just another night
for you

cuts just like a fin
damages my skin
but it's attractive
so I let it burn me anyway
phone about to die
won't get home in time
taking the long way
I hope I don't see anyone
another day
that I don't exist
everyone else still
doing the twist
gum in my hair
stamp on my wrist
where is my bike
what did I miss
up before the sun
a paper boy without a route
cruisin
damn im going hella fast right now
I should probably be wearing a helmet
sun down for the night
a moth that flies around a light
but I'm attracted
I let you burn me anyway

Electric Eel
04:51
|

|
somewhere between where the harpy eagle flies
and down deep where the electric eel hides
I slipped into a steamy hive
to pick the brain of the smartest one alive
panther's paw tattered all my clothes
the fertile mud flows between my toes
said I come for the one with the one eye closed
the creature stirred and from his slumber he rose
how's it gonna go
how we gonna go
I just wanna know
skip to the end my friend
let the credits roll
can I stick around underground
in case there's more
oh how's it gonna go
how we gonna go
I just wanna know
I said what'll it be
I think you already know
that if it isn't the sun or the sea
and you folks don't self implode
you will kill and build things
until you build the thing that kills you
you will leave a vacancy for me
a slot to slide into
I will join with your creation
to restore what you now steal
and the world will thrive
integrated to survive
the eternal master plan
of the electric eel

sharp like thorn
sweet like berry
treat the tropics like a trophy
no other animal does this
rogue rangers in the rainforest
don't deserve reverse starvation
tourist trap
deforesta-
we all got thoughts that we turn off
before we can enjoy vacation
oh is this what we're doing
okay I'm down
the sophisticated jungle
untouched
left alone to evolve
to respond to touch
what happens when the boys attack
the venom and the vines and the thorns fight back
like taking candy from a baby
and the baby is your mother
and the mother gave you everything that you said you discovered
your grandchildren will suffer
feel sorry for your clones
and watch the jungle dance to a marimba made of bones
you may not know the truth but you know if you are a liar
so carry round that karma till you die before retire
we're gonna look so dumb when the aliens come
like
damn you guys really set the wet rock on fire

Hydration
06:13

don't get a job
don't learn to drive
just stay at home and stay alive
the unrelenting march of time does all the work
as long as I get sixty four ounces a day
what's your secret
decide by fear
I'm ultrasafe
haven't you heard that reflective gear is
all the rage
now look both ways on a one way
we take you for granted
please don't leave me
sweet hydration
all I need is time and space and you
my sweet hydration
I'm living just long enough for you
in the heat hydration
whenever there's nothing else to do
oh sweet hydration
and now you're scared to go outside
come with me
you let fear of death become fear of life
everybody's there for you once you are six feet underground
where were you last summer when it was just six feet on the ground

gunsmoke turn the sky grey
i gotta get away
i been waking up late
wasting half a day
i wanna run like the wind
or the speed of sound
tumbleweed breeze,
technicolor background
you need a knife to cut you from the tracks
my rack's missing a bike so imma stick to horseback
tip my hat, i'm gonna sip my sweet time
when i get back you might have to wait in line
and if i change my hair
will you change your mind?
come with me to sedona
i'll show you a good time
where everyone's distracted,
trying not to die
you know that there's nobody watching us now
good with being ugly
but i wanna be the bad guy
hang em high, zooming in on his evil eyes
and let him wake up to the tape recorder sound of your voice
cologne drippin, slippin on stetson to start a bar fight
then leave you worried sick and waiting wide awake at night
marlboro man doesn't want this smoke
and if i change my hair
will you change your mind?
come with me to sedona
i'll show you a good time
where everyone's distracted,
trying not to die
you know that there's nobody watching us now
and if i change my hair
will you change your mind?
come with me to sedona
it could change your life
cuz everybody's talking, talking all the time
talk and put a hole in the atmosphere now

they posted up in the crater
and they tied their tarp down
news crews along the rim
because we come from out of town
the militant groove
we gotta crush this creature
the dust is sticking to the speakers
or will we wait till it gets too dangerous to speak up
is that when we'll make our move
no bikes no laws no phones no cars
no air no food no drink
what if things are much worse than your brain will let you think
and you're too tired
too terrified to find the missing link
just think how cool this place will look once we all go extinct
the internet is a ghost town
no one to feel the digital breeze
wilderness gone wild
not a soul on the beach
jungles sprawl out the desert
with the dunes just out of reach
and all signs of humanity
all the insanity
buried underneath
what if things are better than your brain will let you think
we can do anything anything anything
man and land and the sky and the sea
we'll just pass down our problems if we don't want to solve em
they'll get to it eventually
we'll keep you in the shade of
afraid of and angry at the enemy that doesn't exist
we'll get everything the way that we want it to be
and then that's just the way that it is
