summer to winter man / got a summer to winter plan / you know the drill / you milk a cash cow till it's killed / don't get me started man / don't get me going man / you know the world / you know the "sir, we're gonna have to take you out" / like your father muses / "beauty is what it does" / so if i seemed useless it's only cause i was / nah but i ain't toothless / i'm just dumb / with the kindness of a cudgel / you come to crush my crown
Drive in the country, roll the windows down
Set up our shit in such and such a town
Oh cause I ain't moving, I'm just spinning round and round
You look surprised--I knew you would
it's starting to simmer man / the pot is starting to simmer man / the machine starts to kick into gear / i'm starting to worry now / i'm starting to wonder now / how long before you just go and beat down the door? / your father's music in the breakfast nook / your face goes lucid and i read it like a book / this town is clueless / look they're smiling / look / at the crime of the summer / as the killer starts cutting
Drive in the country, roll the windows down
Set up our shit in such and such a town
Oh cause I ain't moving, I just spin and when i fall down
You look surprised--like I knew you would

sit with your cousins in the garage / if I know you very well / and i do / then you're wishing we'd all shake up and move / cause what should you do? / you need a couple new friends
I guess the wisest man once was a fool
I know we've all got bored and done something stupid
I saw you walking out there with your new girl
Here comes a couple new friends
you went to georgia / and i went to school / if i know you very well / and i don't / then you're wishing you'd shake my hand when i visit home / but you won't / i guess i need a couple new friends
I guess you'd done all you thought you could do
If you pulled all the cards from your sleeves you'd still lose
You stood in the yard, looked all sick and confused
Time tightens the noose
You lose a couple old friends
there's a man / in a car / and he's looking for someone like you / well i hope he finds you / says he's looking for someone like you / someone who needs something to do / and i heard you have nothing to do with yourself / your half bottle of wine long since soured on the shelf / c'mon let's drink it / cause what else can we do?

Blue Eyed Cousins

Out from the city of sin
Your cousins all came in
And upset the family
just one of a few things you could see coming
I was tired man and I didn't want to think about anything
It's just one of those days I guess
You were the one bright light in a whole world of things that had said goodnight
I was always sure you would stick around
I bet your blue eyed cousins still hang around
In a fog, in a fog we see everything wrong
I bet you wish that you'd never come along
you were right, you were right about everything
It was a mystery to me
How you kissed me so tenderly
I was a dumb lost sheep
You were a sheperdess or queen or something
I had a hard time choosing words and you had a hard timing sewing my shirts
So I guess we both got problems dear
Next thing we're laying on the kitchen floor and your saying you don't want to stay here anymore
And I am oh so understanding
I bet your blue eyed cousins hang around
In a fog, in a fog I can see everything
I bet you wish you never stuck around
you were right, you were right about everything
you were right, you were right about everything
you were right, you were right about everything
you were right, you were right, you were right, you were right

So You Say

So you say, everything pretty much stays the same
But you look older now, lines in your face
And your hands
So dear, what's going on?
We are afraid of everyone
Draw little lines in your skin
Now dear, we know everything
So you say, everyone pretty much stays the same
They say if you know you're stuck, that means your free
