I was high enough to cross your map
Split your smoke and call you back
Spend a couple weeks unwrapped in your bed
Rapturous reds rapping my head
We wrapped up the dynamite truth
Sang along to crackling fuse
Your name: my favourite excuse
Taught me like that
Caught me like that, singing
Six-hundred-sixty-six pop songs
Gotta get you out of my head, my love
Six-hundred-sixty-six pop songs
Gotta get you out of my head, my love
But I know you will never get out
You know I would rather write it down
I know you will never get out
You know I would rather write it down
Get out, my
I, grabbing ankles, yanking me down
Only banked on fucking around
Sobbing in your kitchen, fallen in love
Hearts-on-sleeve so off the cuff
You were
Captive to a Patti Smith book
“Chained to The Rhythm,” Liz Phair, Kate Bush
Silhouetted along the Spring greys
You were insane!
But I’m the same, singing
Six-hundred-sixty-six pop songs
Gotta get you out of my head, my love
Six-hundred-sixty-six pop songs
Gotta get you out of my head, my love
But I know you will never get out
You know I would rather write it down
I know you will never get out
You know I would rather write it down
Get out, my love
(Sha-la-la-la la-la la-la la
Sha-la-la-la la-la la-la la
Sha-la-la-la la-la la-la la
Hit me like that, then I let it pass)
It’s been years and some time
Could call you once mine
Can’t call you back, though
It hit me like that but I’ve learned…
I’ve learned
I’ve learned
I’ve learned....
Six-hundred-sixty-six pop songs
Gotta get you out of my
Gotta get you out of my
Six-hundred-sixty-six pop songs
Gotta get you out of my
Gotta get you out of my
(But I know you will never get out
You know I would rather write it down
I know you will never get out
You know I would rather write out)

Six-hundred-sixty-six pop songs

(Van Gogh watched from the window
I knew then what I’ve always known
Van Gogh watched from the window
I knew then and I’ve always known)
(I’m still running up that hill
I’m still running up
I’m still running up that hill
I’m still running up)
(Van Gogh watched from the window
I knew then what I’ve always known
Van Gogh watched from the window
I knew then and I’ve always known)
(I’m still running up that hill
I’m still running up
I’m still running up that hill
I’m still running, my)
I know I’m thinking, “Fuck you”
But I secretly
I secretly wanna save you
I promise I’ll get so rich
I’ll storm into that building
Your dingy mess of an apartment
That slum that’s no good for you
Where I once tried to
Keep the kitchen clean
Where you sobbed into me
Where you loathed my critique
And I won’t have to drag you out
For my riches will persuade
My confidence, which will persuade
You to follow me
Perhaps another city
Buy you some high-end neurotherapy
That I read about years ago
Still think about to this day
Because I still think of you
And all the shit
You pump into your body
Chipping your bullet of a brain
Well
I’m sorry for laughing at you
Rusting the pillars
And crumbling the walls
Of that monster house you’ve made your home
For reasons I never understood
Thought if I set fire to the house
You’d come running right out
But you stayed
And I stared
I watched you burn
So I can understand
I know how
I know now
I will storm into that building
Your knight in blazing armour
I’ll forgive your dragon
And you will be my prince
I’ll fashion talismans out of chips on your shoulders
Bond your hands in bandages
I will save you
Save you from yourself
I know you better now
I can love you now
Much deeper than you ever will
I’ll be so fucking sorry
And you’ll forgive me in the end
And finally the sun will set
And I will return to sleep
Where you don’t take the G without me
Where we can sing all these
Six-hundred-sixty-six pop songs
Six-hundred-sixty-six pop songs
We’ll be singing together
Six-hundred-sixty-six pop songs
We’ll duet over every single one

(The consequences or after effects of a significant unpleasant event
Do you want to hear the remaining one?)
New grass growing after mowing or harvest
I’m carried home under Mayfield sky darkness
I could’ve loved a farm boy, a suburbanite queer
A clever city slut—or at least his veneer
Well, maybe I was someone
Or maybe I will be
Sometimes my potentials outweigh me
Outweigh
Away
My eyes slide like cursive, scrolling the grass
I sleep in the backseat of this aftermath
Now I’m sliding the cursors and scrolling the glass
Awake in the backseat of this aftermath
(So what are you up to?
Do you still hate me?
I still wear that shirt you gave me
Do you still wear the jockstrap I gave you
Has it worn out, like me and mine?
Remember when I had my hand inside you
I do
I try not to think of it
Until some anonymous face brings you up again)
And you’re up again
And I’m up again
Then I’m down again
Again
So what are you up to?
Do you still hate me
(Oh, what are you up to?
Do you still hate me?)
What are you up to?
I hope you still hate me
The facility of clarity is all I really need from you, maybe

I eat my dinner in the bathtub
Then I go to sex clubs
Watch the freaky people getting it on
They don't make me nervous
If anything I'm restless
Yeah, I've been around and I've seen it all
So I
I get home, I got the munchies
Binge on all my Twinkies
Throw up in the tub
Go to sleep, I
Drank up all my money
Dazed and kind of lonely
You're gone and I gotta stay high
All the time
Keep you off my mind, whoa-oh-oh
High all the time
Keep you off my mind, whoa-oh-oh
So I spend my days locked in a haze
Try to forget you, babe
I fall back down
I gotta stay high all my life
Forget I'm missing you
So I
Pickup daddies at the playground
How I spend my daytime
Loosen up their frown
Make 'em feel alive
Yeah, I make it fast and greasy
Numb and way too easy
You're gone and I gotta stay high
All the time
Keep you off my mind, whoa-oh-oh
High all the time
Keep you off my mind, whoa-oh-oh
So I spend my days locked in a haze
Try to forget you, babe
I fall back down
I gotta stay high all my life
Forget I'm missing you
(Staying in my play-pretend
Where the fun ain't got no end
Can't go home alone again
I need someone to numb this pain)
So I'm staying in my play-pretend
Where the fun ain't got no end, end
No, I can't go home alone again
Need someone to numb this pain
You're gone
And I gotta stay
High
All my life
I gotta stay high
All the time
To keep you off my mind
Woo-hoo-ooh-ooh
High
All the time
To keep you off my mind
Woo-hoo-ooh-ooh
Spend my days locked in a haze
Try to forget you, babe
I fall back down
Oh, I gotta stay high

You can keep the house
Didn’t wanna move in anyway
Thirty years ahead
And you still wanna play it safe
Y’know, Winter’s gone
But you’re too cool for the Summer sun now?
I just wanna go to the beach, my god
I just wanna lay on the lawn
But Jonathan
You were never gonna let me in
And I kept loosening
But you’re uptight
(You’re uptight, man!)
Oh, Jonathan
It’s a tug-of-war that I won’t win
So sick of sewing ends together
Till we’re alright
(Not alright, no!)
So you can keep the house
You can live alone
You can be a stranger again
You can keep the house
You can keep the house
Keep it all
Just push me away
You can live alone
You can be a stranger again, again
You can keep the house
You can keep the house
Keep it all
And you can keep your shirt on
Know we’re not in love
You’re thirty years ahead
Still wanna play it dumb
Well, Summer has come
But I never did lose my cool for you
Won’t you drop it for me, my god
I just wanna lay on the lawn
But Jonathan
You were never gonna let me in
And I kept loosening
But you’re uptight
(You’re uptight, man!)
Oh, Jonathan
It’s a tug-of-war that I won’t win
So sick of sewing ends together
Till we’re alright
(We’re not alright, no!)
So you can keep the house
You can live alone
You can be a stranger again
You can keep the house
You can keep the house
Keep it all
Just push me away
You can live alone
You can be a stranger again, again
You can keep the house
You can keep the house
Keep it all
One was Johnny, he lived on his own
Two was a visitor in his home
Three months pass before we turn back
And one was Johnny
One was Johnny, he lived all alone
Two was a visitor in his home
Three months pass before we turn back
And one was Johnny!
You can keep the house
You can live alone
You can be a stranger again
You can keep the house
You can keep the house
You can keep your house
You can keep the house
You can keep the house
Just push me away
You can live alone
You can be a stranger again, again
You can keep the house
Yeah, keep your fucking house!
Keep it all
Keep it all
Keep it all
Keep it all
Yeah, keep it all, keep it all, keep it all

unrepentant
04:30

Just because you’ve let me down
Doesn’t mean you oughta let me go, too
I’ve only let you know how fungible you are to me
To flex my sincerity
But I’ll come scrabbling for breadcrumbs
When you wander too far
From the palace I have made of you
Maybe then I’ll learn my lesson
Screw my sour mouth shut
‘Till I have a bitter point to prove
Ooh, ah, we’ll remember there’s not much to lose
Just
Me
The problem is me
Scald you in the honesty
Blame it on economy
Me
The problem is me
Push ‘em off a peak
Can never believe their flying free
I’m unrepentant
I’m unrepentant
Fucking up my life with
“Oh, I meant it!”
Yeah, unrepentant
Unrepentant
Fucking up my life
I’m only fucking up my life
I’m only
Loving me
When I think you think you’re cut above me
What happens when I get over you?
Gotta find out now
I won’t like it when it’s found
But that’s how pity starts pounding
Oh, I’m the reason your guilt exists
I’m the object onto which it is placed
I chased you round the periphery
So, honey, won’t you stick with me?
I’d love to feel this control
So I can dangle us beyond the edge
Smugly let you know how I’ve learned
To let go of
Me
The problem is me, me, me
Scald you in the honesty
Blame it on economy
Me
The problem is me, me, me
Push ‘em off a peak
Can never believe their flying free
I’m unrepentant
I’m unrepentant
Fucking up my life with
“Oh, I meant it!”
Yeah
Unrepentant
I’m unrepentant
Fucking up my life
I’m only fucking up my life
I’m only
On my own
Then I show
Some remorse
I’ll say anything to be a little less alone!
So let it be me
It’s me
Scald you in the honesty
My weakness is apology
Me?
Oh, I’ve gotten so mean
Pushed ‘em off a peak
Rather they bleed then watch ‘em leave
I’m unrepentant (woo!)
I’m unrepentant
Fucked up my life but
Oh, I meant it!
Unrepentant
I’m unrepentant
Fucking up my life
I’m only fucking up my life
I’m only jumping on the knife
I’m only
Me

coasting

I’ve been digging my shoebox grave
Wishing for the other shoe to drop
Shooting stars through my brain
Dizzy on a Ferris wheel of pain
Can’t discern the highs from the lows
So my eyes hold the blame
But, oh, god , I’m getting sick of this
Oh, love, I’d really love to change
But, oh, god, feeling like there’s something
Here until again they hear me say
I’m gonna go
Maybe when it snows
Somewhere by the coast
Or the ocean floor
Go sinking slowly
The ocean floor
Go sinking slowly
The ocean floor
I’ve hauled my heart through every city streetlight
Met another lover in a cesspit night
Sliding west, and east
Forever losing someone
No one here really wants to stay
But, oh, god, I’m getting sick of this
Oh, love, I’d really love to change
But, oh, god, I‘m feeling like there’s something
Here until again they hear me say
I’m gonna go
Maybe when it snows
Somewhere by the coast
Or the ocean floor
Go sinking slowly
The ocean floor
Go sinking slowly
The ocean floor
I’ll go sinking slowly
The ocean floor
Go sinking slowly
The ocean floor
And I could float away
For nothing golden stays
And I won’t change my mind
My m-m-mind
I swear I’ll be just fine
This time
This time
I’ve gotta go
Maybe when it snows?
Somewhere by the coast
Or the ocean floor
I’ll go sinking slowly
The ocean floor
I’ll go sinking slowly
The ocean floor
I’ll go sinking slowly
The ocean floor
I’ll go sinking slowly
The ocean floor
I’m gonna go
Maybe when it snows
Somewhere by the coast
Or the ocean floor
(Sinking slowly)

Let it go if you know it’s dead
Necrophilia ain’t very cute, my friend
All you’ve built and all you’ve lost
All the same, all the same, don’t count the cost
So let it go if you know it’s dead
Necrophilia ain’t very cute, my friend
Let it go if you know it’s dead
Let it get out of your head
And out of your hands and out of control
You can’t cherrypick your lover’s goal
Nor speak every pivotal poem
From another’s heart nor another’s tongue
You, yourself, must do what must be done
Done
Done
(Your necrophilia was never that cute, my friend
Your necrophilia was never that cute, my friend
Your necrophilia was never that cute, my friend
Your necrophilia was never that cute, my friend)
Holding on is nice
Just save it for your life
Everything else may die
But true love blossoms twice

I miss chemsex
04:26

I knew I loved you
Back when I met you
I really hurt you
Deeper than I meant to
So cut me out
If you really think it’s doable
And in the end
I’ll say, “Well, at least the scar is beautiful!”
I’ll miss his kiss and
My lips on his legs
But I miss chemsex
Yes, I was at rest
With his head on my chest
But I miss chemsex
I’m out without a
Out without a
Out without a
Lo-o-ove
Out without a
Out without a love
Out without a
Out without a
Out without a
Lo-o-ove
Out without a
Out without a love
I knew I hurt you
Back when I left you
I really loved you
Deeper than I meant to
So cut me down
If you really think it’s suitable
And in the end
I’ll swing to heartbeats immutable
But I’ll dance alone
While he looks for the next
Oh, I miss chemsex
And I‘d like to think
That the last was the best
But I miss chemsex
Now I’m out without a
Out without a
Out without a
Lo-o-ove
Out without a
Out without a love
(Do I really want it?)
Out without a
Out without a
Out without a
Lo-o-ove
Out without a
Out without a love
I want you
But I know I’m a mess
No, I can’t trust my head
I want you
But I’ll find someone else
I’m obsessed with regrettable, beddable chemicals
Out
Out
Out
Without a love
(Do I really want it?)
Out
Out
Out
Without a love
I’m
(Out without a
Out without a
Out without a lo-o-ove
Out without a
Out without a love
Out without a
Out without a
Out without a lo-o-ove
Out without a
Out without a love)
Never knew I could be—
(I wasn’t looking for love until
Then I found you
Now I’m out without your love, oh
I wasn’t looking for love until
Then I found you
I wasn’t looking for love)
