Idiot Summer

All our natural enemies are gone
We lay around safe in the sunlight
And through the smoke I make out the city
Combat the end of the century
There’s no one left here to fight
And, oh Rhiannon, you’ll never know
The ways I make it through the night
Let’s pack our bags and get out of this mess
Nobody walks in Los Angeles
And it’s too expensive to drive
Robot man, a bad tan, and the idiot summer
White hands that starlight shaded through
And no you can’t—you’ll accidentally live forever in
Doubt, until you find out, find out who made you
The meter’s on and you’ll never leave
A brand new bulb for the black light
They called me in once more for the audit
Got clear and got my certificate
Stared down from the bridge all night

Let's Be Friends

Let’s be friends, we both know how
Give me your hand, now ain’t that grand
And all the things that I did wrong
That made you sad, they weren’t so bad
You know we let each other down
Love has betrayed us, beaten and flayed us
But let’s be friends, just like before
Let’s make nice, c’mon, bring it in
We’ll have to keep that hatchet buried deep
I’ll just forget the things you said
When my heart broke, maybe you misspoke
Because the love we used to feel
Can’t disappear, it must be here
We should find some love, soon as we can
find some love, find some love,
find some find some find some gimme some
Let’s be friends, let’s both accept
The past is gone, we should move on
And if we can’t, we’ll just pretend
That there’s nothing less important than a friend
And there never was a friendship there to end

Through and Through

Back and forth, to and fro
I don’t know where to go
Now that it’s over
Speak and spell, sit and spin
I don’t know where to begin
Now that it’s done
Time moves so slowly in the dark of this room
Won’t you show me the way back home?
Up and down, through and through
Someday I won’t be able to
Remember you
Now and then I pine and wail
But mostly I miserably fail
To muddle through
Light is filtering through the cracks around the door
Won’t you help me out of this place
Time moves so slowly in the dark of this room
Won’t you show me the way back home?
Won’t you show me the way back home?

Lila

Maybe you were born into a rich home
Maybe you were given everything
Maybe they told you that nothing was impossible
But a girl’s gotta want something
Lila, Lila
Maybe they didn’t like the look in your eye
Maybe they didn’t like your smart mouth
Maybe they took your car away and sent your boyfriend home
Maybe you burned down the house
Lila, Lila, Lila, Lila
You ran away from the place they put you
You slashed the face of the man who pushed you
You changed your name and made your
Fortune on a wager with yourself
They took your name out of the record books
They pretended to forget
Sometimes you send your sister postcards from your secret places
And you sign ‘em with an X
Lila, Lila
Lila (you’re never gonna see the one you love again)
Lila (you’re never gonna see the one you love)
Lila (you’re never gonna see the one you love again)
Lila
