No Sweat 02:03
Paradise is warm weather But not too humid cause I don’t wanna stick to stuff Lived in paradise for all my life Didn’t know it though because the city sucked I do what my body, body tells me to I do what my body, body tells me to It’s no sweat just breathe It’s no sweat just breathe Get with it and It’s no sweat just breathe Get with it and It’s no sweat, it’s no sweat falling down Eating ice cream in cold weather Sounds good to me unless my face is numb I’d rather go swim in the ocean Somewhere tropical with a lazy sun I do what my body, body tells me to I do what my body, body tells me to It’s no sweat just breathe It’s no sweat just breathe Get with it and It’s no sweat just breathe Get with it and It’s no sweat, it’s no sweat falling down

What is that in your ear No more politics Suspend your fears We’ve got a ritual We make it dirty, dirty, dirty, dirty, nasty beautiful Shake just a little bit closer Sweat just a little bit closer Shake just a little bit closer Sweat just a little bit closer Burn off those bad feelings And love the ones like dancing on the ceiling Stick to your rituals Keep it nasty, nasty, nasty, dirty beautiful Shake just a little bit closer Sweat just a little bit closer Shake just a little bit closer Sweat just a little bit closer We’re sweating spirits Sweating spirits That’s the spirit You’ve got the spirit Yeah yeah, y-yeah yeah Hey! I feel a black out coming on Is there a black out coming on I feel a black out coming Is there a black out coming Talk to me tell me a secret Whisper in my ear

Sleep Tight 02:24
Where were you drinking last night All night all night a-yeah I woke up and sat upright But you’re not, you’re not a-there Maybe you lost the light In your eyes, in your eyes a-yeah And maybe that was alright Well alright A delayed reaction Coming to A delayed reaction Time doesn’t go backward So sleep tight Your mind is like shrinking cotton All white and tightened Your guts are a trembling mountain Fighting eruption Drain your head into a fountain And won’t remember anything Woke up into the cold dead night Well goodnight A delayed reaction Coming to A delayed reaction Time doesn’t go backward So sleep tight I got treated Just like I wasn’t there I turned the rhythm up To freshen the air Is it who you know That helps you let it go I’m getting down with my face wiped clean in my brand new jeans And I wanna get gone I’m gone and I… I’m gone

When I first saw you Before I ever met you Your smile made my heart jump And your eyes gave me goosebumps I tried not to notice But you just seemed so perfect And so I pour all of my love into you It may not have seemed like a lot But I gave it to you I found it hard to articulate my feelings for you But when you Go away for a hundred days 10,000 miles away You come back to me No, romance isn’t like me It’s not in my creativity I never wanted to hurt you oh oh But I know sometimes I do Hope the damage is fixable It’s always so unintentional So I pour all of my love into you It may not have seemed like a lot But I gave it to you I found it hard to articulate my feelings for you But when you Go away for a hundred days 10,000 miles away You come back to me You, you are the love I live my life for You, you are the love I’ll do anything for You, you are the love I live my life for You, you are the love I’ll do anything for And I love you... Really I do

Happimess 03:02
I’ve been testing, my patience Waiting for, good graces Hoping happiness is gonna fall on top of my head Feel my hair, it’s getting sticky It’s bloody proof that timing is tricky If you want happiness it’s oozing right out of my head Ooh-we-ooh I’m so happy I’m screaming Ooh-we-ooh Say it loud so I believe it Ooh-we-ooh Well I came here to confess I can’t shake this stress You keep talking, but no one’s listening Talk enough and, it’s gonna sink in Ignorance is the happy mess inside of your mind Thought about it, but haven’t done it The things I love, don’t fill my wallet If you want happiness it’s going right into your ear Ooh-we-ooh I’m so happy I’m screaming Ooh-we-ooh Say it loud so I believe it Ooh-we-ooh Well I came here to confess I can’t shake this stress Kiss me on the cheek And I cry for weeks What a happy mess...

Sun In You 01:50
You won’t catch me surfing Unless Frankie wants to lend me a board Cause I’m always stuck working Working hard at not getting too bored Now my feet have been hurting Hurting for some hot sand on my toes Pile on the sun lotion And maybe some zinc on my nose I know that any day now I could die Don’t wanna know the future, when or why But when my body goes out of tune I just want the sun in you I just want the sun in you I just want the sun in you I just want the sun in you Don’t answer until it feels right If not now then maybe tomorrow night When are you gonna feel alright I’m dancing now be-because it feels right

Not Dead 04:04
Starting to feel like I’m taking up space Letting time just go to waste I thought I knew what I’d been after But as the clock ticks I sense a disaster There’s a curse that’s been put on us And this wait weighs way too much Is there evil rooted deep within it Or people pushing buttons keeping secrets Oh no no It ends when we begin it Oh no no It ends when we begin it We’re doomed but it sounds so good We’re not dead yet We’re doomed but it sounds so good We’re not dead yet We’re doomed but it sounds so good We’re not dead yet We’re doomed but it sounds so good We’re not dead yet Not yet Well you can call me something straight to my face And I’ll breaking out the war paints Push the shit out if it makes you feel good Make it don’t break it baby, knocking knocking on wood There’s a dark cloud circling us And when it rains play time gets rough I start to shake and then forget what I’m doing Look out pretty people it’s time to get ruined

Dolores 04:44
Oh Dolores, whatever happened to Dee Dee Seduced by modern beatnik poetry Her champagne won’t stay cold all afternoon Is she still waiting for the ladies room Oh Dolores Do what your Mother says Oh Dolores Let’s go to bed Oh Dolores, whatever happens to Connie She passed out from eating too many brownies Instead I’ll have a Mexican popsicle Zip up my leathers and go ride cycles Oh Dolores Do what your Mother says Oh Dolores Let’s go to bed If wanna get naked Don’t get on my blanket And if you wanna go wrestle You’re gonna get some whistles, whistles And if you kick my dog And you drink all my liquor Put away the acoustic and feel The wrath of the finger Me and Dolores lie in the sunshine...
