My Poltergeist
03:24

There's a ghost who lives with me
Sleeps in the empty room
Horrific specters haunt my street
Known mine since I was young
I can’t see him he can’t see me
But we’re both aware, we’re there
We both leave each other be
All these years unintroduced
My poltergeist
Don’t cause no trouble
Don't bother him
Don't bother me
It's his house
I just live here
He is a friend, or at
Least benevolent
I don’t blame him its not his fault
Hope we get along some day
Maybe I’m the one who haunts
He never invited me
Do I miss him when I’m away?
Oh yes I do it's true
When it finally goes my way
I know I’ll make the change
I'm such a goddamn coward
I will always be afraid
I'm such a goddamn coward
I will always be afraid
My poltergeist
Don’t cause no trouble
Don't bother him
Don't bother me
It's his house
I just live here
He is a friend, or at
Least benevolent
My poltergeist
Don’t cause no trouble
Don't bother him
Don't bother me
It's his house
I just live here
He is a friend, or at
Least benevolent

I Wanna Be Haunted
02:47

I met her on down at the cemetery
She was wearing all black and a frilly dress
She called me on over and took my hand
I could tell she wasn't mourning but sure was depressed
She was the prettiest girl I'd ever seen and
Now I need to know all about her
She said nothing ever happens in this goddamn town
I've got not other choice, It's all I ever wanted
She said I wanna be haunted
I wanna be haunted
We met again down at the diner
She rolled up in her father's sports car all fast
It was there our lips met for the first time
But I could tell it wouldn't be the last
Cause we met again down at the cemetery
She pulled out a book with a torn up spine
She said nothing ever happens in this goddamn town
What have we got to lose we might as well try
Well what happened next I couldn't quite tell ya
I saw a premonition of a cowboy in leather
When we came to she gasped "I think it worked"
Now for all eternity we’ll suffer together
She said I wanna be haunted
She said I wanna be haunted
I wanna be haunted
"My life had been a bore up until we met," she said
"But now our fates are sealed" as she started sobbing
Her hand in mine I asked her what she meant
She said "I'm sorry how this turned out
You're all I ever wanted"

Some people die too early and
Some of 'em they live too long
Big hailstorm in late January
Thinkin' 'bout what I did wrong
Cancer please take
The people who make it
Harder for the rest of us
Think it’s fair to say
No one man can pray
To every single god at once
Big tornado coming this summer
All of my possessions gone
If I make it into December
You could say I've won
Cancer please take
The people who make it
Harder for the rest of us
Think it’s fair to say
No one man can pray
To every single god at once

Die Young
05:07
|

YouTube suicide, monetized, uncut
I’m only as happy as the brands I love
Superstar billionaire please save our sorry town
The planet needs a good businessman to sell it on sticking around
Oh it could be worse for sure
I could live to be a hundred and four
I’m destined to die young
It’s tragic but it’s been done
I need to find a new market
Cause they’ve already seen my shtick
I’ve got nothing to keep me going on
It’s cliche but I’ll die young
Wash me of my insecurities sell me your feminist soap
I'm sure you really care about those bigger folk
White picket fences sure are a strange desire
Don't trust your neighbors, but at least you're xenophobic in style
Some day I'll afford those shoes I craft
But for now, I don't mind I’ll just take what I can get
Some day I'll afford those shoes I craft
But for now, I don't mind I’ll just take what I can get
Some day I'll afford those shoes I craft
You can just take everything I have
Some day I'll afford those shoes I craft
But for now, I don't mind
Just saw me in half

Sweet Love Honey Baby

Sweet love honey baby
Sweet love be my baby
If you wanna be my girl
Go ahead and take a whirl any time
Pumpkin my one and only
Wouldn't believe it if you told me
I’m on a quick ride to the other side
I’m so lonely
Oh my sweetie darlin'
How my heart is growling
It hungers for more
Like a wolf at the door
Scratching and howling
Hungry wolves
It hungers for more
There’s a wolf at my door
Scratching and howling
Hungry wolves
Hungry wolves
Hungry wolves

Glove
04:42
|
|||
On the floor of a supermarket
There is a lone glove
It belongs to no one
Not now not ever
If you come across this glove
Do not pick it up
Do not look at it
Do not think about it
Who made the glove
Why?
How?
When?
It is not your glove to have
It is no ones glove
Do not touch the glove on the floor of the supermarket in Albuquerque, New Mexico
The glove has always been around
But so have you
Its never enough for you
What more do you want
You have everything
You always want more
