the astronaut misses flip flops the astronaut misses his toes in the dirt but he wouldnt say he missing earth
the astronaut misses not wearing socks and he misses the wind blowing through his locks the asstronaut misses his friends not his home
and his ships moving fast and you know space is vast and he feels as though hes been out here for a lifetime but he wouldnt say that hes doing fine no he wouldnt say that hes doing fine
the astronaut not eating slop and he misses his crewmates that all disappeared well perhaps they were never here perhaps they were never here
the asstronaut doesnt know if he came to space alone, but he feels as though he shouldnt be on his own, yeah he feels as though he shouldnt be on his own

Well I went on down to the liquor store, cuz i had some beers and I wanted some more
and the lady at the register asked me my name
I said hey I'm Matt, yeah, its nice to meet'cha
and she said that's a funny name for a creature like you
well i dont look much like a Matt in fact, I look rather like a rat and
Us rats have never ever had names
we scuttle around and we look real small and everything seems big and tall but
it all just starts to look the same
So i went on down to the liquor store, cuz I hd some beer and I wanted some more
and the lady at the register asked me where I was from.

tiny car on a tiny road tiny car gonna steal ur soul tiny car gonna go so fast tiny car doesnt run on gas
tiny car powered with blood and glitter and gloss and moths and mud (x2)
tiny car with tiny teeth tiny hands and tiny feet tiny car with tiny dreams very sad with its tiny seats
tiny car powered with blood and glitter and gloss and moths and mud (x2)
tiny car with tiny seats very sad with tiny dreams no room for friends in tiny car tiny car will take you far tiny car is all alone drifting on the open road
tiny car with tiny teeth and tiny hands and tiny feet

Well the first time i went to a city, I got lost what a pity so i stopped and I turned and asked a cop
hey there mister mister cant you see, I'm all lost and this map is confusing so
could you point me
to the right street
and the cop looked down and he said to me
Hey listen, listen here missy
I'm a cop so i never learned to read. We all drop out around grade three
thats right, cops can't read
and he said if i learned they'd all turn on me for adding to their feelings of inadequacy
cops can't read, cops can't read
There's no need

my skateboard is chipping into tiny little pieces
like evicted tenants that couldnt pay their leases
my skateboard is chipping into tiny little pieces
I don't have a skateboard any more
just a couple of woodchips lying on the floor
I miss my skateboard
I tried to trade those pieces for some little kid's bike but
his mother came up to me and she said that that was like
taking candy from a baby, and I said you know you're right
I dont have a bike any more
just some child's tears, drying on the floor
I miss my skateboard
My skateboard is chipping into tiny little pieces
like a bunch of fed up uncles that couldnt stand their nieces
my skateboard is chipping into tiny little pieces
i dont have a skateboard anymore
just a few toothpicks and four wheels on the floor
I miss my skateboard

32000 years ago,
the glaciers were receding
And glacial lake Bonneville
filled the valley with melted feelings
14000 years ago the flood of Bonneville
spilled the lake out into Idaho
shrank its depth 300 feet in a year
the lake benches are all that’s left of you dear
you evaporated and you left me here
you evaporated and you left me here
you evaporated and you left me here
the ground is salty just like my tears
looking at those lake benches I can only sigh
Missing the time when your water was high
You were 1000 feet deep and 300 miles wide
But you evaporated, and you left me dry
after the flood, you stabilized
and rested at the provo shoreline
but a good steady lake is hard to find
you evaporated and left me behind
you evaporated and you left me here
you evaporated and you left me here
you evaporated and you left me here
the ground is salty just like my tears
and you have no outflow, only inflow
a million tonnes of sediment every year
and there’s nowhere for you to flow away so
you evaporated, and you left me here
you evaporated and left me here
you evaporated and left me here
you evaporated and left me here
and the ground is salty just like my tears

brb, feelings

I'm sweating out the remnants of a terrible disease
I dont know where it came from but I know where it's been
my head my heart my feet my hands my lips and my chest
so I ripped out all my organs cuz I know that it's best
I left in my liver because how else can I whine? and
i left one of my lungs cuz I smoke all the time
I left in my eyes cuz I think they're kinda neat but
the rest of me is empty from my head to my feet
i spat out the password to the safe inside my spine and
sat and took a look inside just to pass the time but
my funds are cashed out from that stash I'm bankrupt but I'm fine
I'll move around more freely if there's less that I call mine
I woke up this morning in a puddle of my sweat and
wondered if all that pain was flushed out yet but
every day I wake up and my chest if full of air
and i want more than anything to have something there.
