Piebald - If It Werent For Venetian Blinds, It Would Be Curtains For Us All

1) Grace Kelly With Wings
That's more than a dress / it's a Grace Kelly movie / you can
see my benefit / leave it on my doorstep or on my windowsill
/ I've got to water it. I've got to take care of it, I've got
to water it / you can light the candle while I hit the lights
/ the cactus needs more light we've got to take care of it /
that's more than a dress that's a Grace Kelly movie / dressed
up to the nodes' we'll make our grand entrance / with prickers
in our fingers we tried to take care of it / we can't live like
this and on she said / that's more than a dress / that's a Grace
Kelly movie / that's more than a dress / throw caution to the wind
/ and you've got the sexy legs / it's a Grace Kelly movie / it's
the subtle way you move me / yeah my feet got cold and put my socks
on / but now I'm back on track / just like ten yard fight / so what
if it's in my eyes / leave it on my doorstep or on my window sill
/ with prickers in our fingers we can't live like this / that's more
than a dress, that's a Grace Kelly movie / dressed up to the nodes
we'll make our grand entrance.

2) We Believe In Karma
We pulled it off right in front of your eyes like it was magic
/ they'll find us dead for this / when you paint the town a
lovely crimson red just wait till you get home / they'll find
us dead for this / they'll find us dead / they'll find us dead
or smiling / the trash we were talking all last night / or the
compliments we sent / we will get what we deserve / everything
that goes around / it comes back around again / the trash you
were talking all last night / or the compliments you sent / you
will get what you deserve / everything that goes around / it
comes back around again / stop whispering if you're going to
speak you better make it good.

3) Mess With The Bulls
I've got your name across my hands, got a minute to understand
/ the sparks were flying through the poles, a circle is a
circuit now / you can't mess with those crossed wires, it's just
the way the pressure lies / you're among the engines now,
congratulations you real live wire / it's not funny like ha ha,
it's funny like I told you so / why do you have to write your
name all over everything / I can't believe this / mess with the
bulls you get the horns, it's not funny anymore / the perfect
place for friend or foe / boys can't cry / girls can't whine
/ I feel fine / my hands are tired / your name is fading from
my hands, I can't believe I understand / look at yourself you
real live wire, sometimes you suck sometimes you do / I feel fine.

4) Dirty Harry And The Thunderbolts
As it spun around and around, I thought to myself this is quite
amazing / perhaps they would be justified in laughing if this
was a scene from naked gun part III / I think I'll go home now
where all of my possessions are safe / and I can rely on no one
to mess up my stuff but me / and I'll be the first one to start
the trend where we treat our modes of transportation as friends
/ this means 10-w-40 / this week's record / this means recognizing
a name and treating it as if it were human / I'll personify /
I will live to ride / ride to live.
::top::

5) You Won't Be Seeing Me Again
I'll watch you run away / through the peaceful fields / al
the times you've slipped right through my hands / I'd cover
you with anything / my arms only reach so far / there are so
many pieces / burn down that house again / nothing to remember
/ why do I dream out loud to you / wish I could sleep forever
/ I know I don't belong / where the water runs so free / wish
I remembered what was said / your childish ways make me think
too hard / I know how much time I've waste / I hope I don't
make that same mistake again / I guess it's not a secret that
I'm keeping / I guess it doesn't matter all that much to you
/ look around and everyone is laughing and they're smiling /
you've crowded up my head and now it's full.

6) Rules For Mules
I've got to clean my mouth out with soap / I've got to stop
swearing / I've got to clean my eyes out with dirt / I've
got to stop staring / English was made to be rhymed / or
made to be destroyed / organized organism / don't ruffle the
feathers / don't touch a thing / call shotgun babe and we can
bust out of this popsicle stand / everything good comes to an
end / the saddest and happiest day / you will miss that
eventually / this white christmas is too much for me / it's
not what you look like / it's who you look like / if silence
is a crime then everything is guilty / wish that I'd met her
sooner / wish that I could consume her / mistress of luna /
take care of yourself.

7) Giddy Like A Schoolgirl
You're batting your eyelashes in one direction / and it
makes you giddy like a schoolgirl / and it makes you coo
like a dove / what's wrong with that? what's wrong with that?
/ pull those socks over your knees / pull that plaid skirt
over your thighs / don't show too much now (whoo) / leave
some for the imagination / it's not what you say / it's how
you say it / it's not what you say / hey, hey / she's hip and
he's hip / jawbreaker as the soundtrack / he's asking you on
a date for the rest of your life / if I saw the screen today
that I would be a fan / that is as lucky as love gets /
pompadour put on your hat and then tie your shoes / you'll
take your time today / the end is sweet.

8) All You Need Is Drums To Start A Dance Party
I mastered the dance but now you're gone / all you need
is drums to start a dance party / you're invited to our
dance party / all you need are kisses to start a make-out
party / you're invited to my make-out party.

9) If Marcus Garvey Dies, Then Marcus Garvey Lives
This postcard from hell should remind you of how lucky you
are / simply assimilate or simply be destroyed / there's a
little respect that you are disrespecting / no more martyrs
cause there the brilliant die / they teach us what to think
but do not teach us how to think / if Marcus Garvey dies
then Marcus Garvey lives / have you ever heard of Marcus
Garvey? / I can't believe no one ever told me / have you
ever heard of Assata Shakur? / I can't believe no one ever
told me.
::top::

10) Still We Let It Choke Us
It's not what you want / but you'll take what you get / why waste your time? looking sharp boy / hair is just right / tie is on tight for eight hours every day now / you cannot breathe / no time for yourself / what if your paperwork caught on fire? wasting away / blink of an age / tie is on tight, oh so tight, and it chokes you / days turn to weeks / weeks turn to months / months turn to years and you'll die so unhappy / well, life is a bitch /
and life is a beach / you've got the sun and the sand your
suit all within your reach / take off the tie / what a
sick day / we've gone to build castles in sand and go
swimming, it's time for our play / to the barricades / we'll
take them by storm / days fade to weeks, fade to months,
fade to years and there is not that much more.

11) Mount Pleasant
I'll meet her there / I can't believe she's the place
I'd like to be.
::top::

12) Location Is Everything
Drive around forever on an empty tank of gas / you
can see all of Boulder from up here / I can't forget
this even if I wanted to / would you rather listen
to something that starts with a T or an L? / the T
is for Tom Petty, the L is for Led Zeppelin / either
way we can drive all night / just like a runaway
rocketship / I wish I painted flames on the side /
Stuck between one set of lights and another just
like a divided sun.
::top::

13) Fat And Skinny Asses
We're calling all allies down because we're so sick
of waiting around / watching you simply destroy
yourself, cosmetics and all / trying to not find your
plans, like combing the beach with more sand / I'm
light of foot and you're light of heart / so watch
where you step and I'll watch where I stab / the
end of our rope is a couch and it's hanging us ever
so slightly / tilt your head so we don't have to
move a muscle at all / sitting ourselves to a death,
not painful or quick in the least / do we have plans
at all? / this long weekend was too much for me / too
long and difficult to swallow down / what have I got
to say for myself? / well, I really got that dishwasher
good / long day, longer than most I am sure / heat
wave, hotter than most I am sure / the fan is on, but
I am not feeling so cool / next to you, I still am not
feeling so cool / yeah, well, I can't stand that look
on your face because I know you put it there / fun is
how you make it, not where you make it, so take it /
why don't you get your running start, it fears you just
like I do / I know you're tired, I know, but what if
this was the last day on earth?
