Catch-Up Mechanics

Speeding past inspiring terrain with buttons and caps
Needing to rewire my brain synapse by synapse
Soaking in Mojave on a spiritual reset
Inching up the volume on a Portishead cassette
They built the game with catch-up mechanics
So one bad spin
Won’t do you in
I can’t become a woman who panics
Doo doo doo…
I can’t become a woman who panics
‘Cause one bad spin
Won’t do you in
Doo doo doo
Dancing through my nervous shock in a crown of baby’s breath
Kicking free a Birkenstock as I near my ego’s death
Rental Airstreams and vivid daydreams
Built into the game
Microdoses and self-hypnosis
Built into the game
Ketamine and tons of caffeine
Built into the game
Hit refresh, take control, it’s your turn to roll
They built the game with catch-up mechanics
So one bad spin
Won’t do you in
I can’t become a woman who panics

This Path Sucks

A pill at night, another in the morning
Staving off the creeps of my psyche
Anxiety comes without warning
Pressure in my chest that won’t stop spreading
I chose the road
I chose the path
And still I don’t like where this is heading
Cutting out carbs, intermittent fasting
Fiber and juice, raw raw raw
Carrot stick cheerleader from central casting
It ends with some extra crispy breading
I chose the road
I chose the path
And still I don’t like where this is heading
You kept the boutonniere like a tacky totem
But all the hair dye in Boca Raton
Does nothing for a bulging gut and saggy scrotum
The color is fading and the petals are shedding
I chose the road
I chose the path
And still I don’t like where this is heading
Busy with grief, busy with mourning
In the absence of plans we made plans
You needed support, instead I sent scorning
You got married but I wanted a wedding
I chose the road
I chose the path
And still I don’t like where this is heading

When it's rough outside,
really rough outside
zip up your coat,
you've got to stay warm
there's a couple tricks
but you've got to stay 98.6
When the sun beats down
there's no shade in town
cool off your throat
a scoop of ice cream
may take a couple licks
but you've got to stay 98.6
you don't want heatstroke
you don't want hypothermia
Stay warm, keep cool yeah
acetaminophen, acetaminophen,
under the sink will break your fever,
proffers no kicks
still you've got to stay 98.6
Still you've got to stay..

Men are singing in Spanish
Laying rebar and concrete
Songs of joy, lust and jealousy
Some are blunt, some are discrete
No matter the tune or the language
This building will still take shape
And the men who sang in Spanish
are elsewhere, changing another landscape
He doesn't sing karaoke in a bougie bar in a gentrified part of town
He doesn't sing lullabies at bedtime to help put the baby down His songs are for the other guys
Knowing, singing
Over the din of labor could
Echo all the way home and
Out of this neighborhood
He doesn't sing karaoke in a bougie bar in a gentrified part of town
He doesn't sing lullabies at bedtime to help put the baby down His songs are for the others

We'll Fight For You!

Whatcha gonna do when the bills come due?
When you watch daytime TV
Lawyers think they know why you’re home
You blew out your knee
Scars on your face
We’ll take your case
You will never walk again
They hope you’ll never walk again
You will never walk again
When you had a slip and fall
Need workman’s comp
Blew a DUI
Give them a call
They’re licking their lips as your morphine drips
We sure hope you’ll drive again
We think you might drive again, but
We sure hope you’ll drive again
Right now you’re broken and twisted
You can’t walk unassisted
Work is letting you go
Bye bye PPO
You’re black and blue
With PT at two
On TV you hear,
We’ll FIGHT for you
Whatcha gonna do now the bills are due?
Sue? I guess you’re gonna sue.
You will not pay anything unless we win.
