Make It Slow 03:31
I was in rhythm but read it all wrong Out with the baby I'm chasing the fee At the ground level we're pressing along All along, all along, well Keep a low profile while breaking the law Balance the present and summon up dreams I was in Tower but now I just stream By myself on my phone well Want to know where time goes, I wanna make it slow Want to know where time goes, I wanna make it slow Want to know where time goes, I wanna make it slow Want to know where time goes, I wanna make it slow Bottles and cables and amps all around Always intimidating dance in my head AJ walked over and jammed off the wall Off the wall first of all, well It's a bit hazy that night all around I don't remember the things that I said Freshen air, smoking gas, vroom vroom Copilot on the decks going I wonder where time goes, I wanna make it slow Want to know where time goes, I wanna make it slow Want to know where time goes, I wanna make it slow Want to know where time goes, I wanna make it slow I want to make it slow, make it slow make it slow Subway token 50 cent dogs Lincoln Town Cars sketchy Crown Vic Empty spray cans and writing on the wall Best of times come and gone well Savoring energy sparks in the air, Summertime storm I feel's good as I can Running in place at the edge of the wall Another friend come and gone well Want to know where time goes, I wanna make it slow Want to know where time goes, I wanna make it slow Want to know where time goes, I wanna make it slow Want to know where time goes, I wanna make it slow

What about you is asking for sympathy Is it because you've had high thread counts and water-free I speak with a hush but I cannot seem to settle down I want to turn away, but this city makes grim sense to me And in another life I see us traveling Summer mountain like we're on a holiday We ask for charms and chance to guide us on There’s always new construction in our district now But cloudy there, another world away Summer mountain life you cannot take me there Something tells me money makes a carrot for me so let me know I believe that you might have a way through for me so let me know Yeah but I was secretly preparing for this so there you go It’s about that moment when you give it to me so let me know What about you deserves special sympathy Is it because you’ve had Hamptons friends and water free I speak with a hush but I cannot put my mind at ease I want to turn away, but I’m strapped into this color dream And in another life I see us traveling Summer mountain like we're on a holiday We ask for charms and chance to guide us on There’s always new construction in our district now. But cloudy there, another world away Summer mountain life you cannot take me there

Oh the secrets we keep without even trying No emergency calls we're not even trying Late train to get home to my bed End a long day in a cold world Realist foresight draining my head Too sober in the sharp wind Up on the platform seeing too long Facts on my backside coming up strong I think you've got it made, but then I don't know you I don't know your private pain because love I don't know you And I feel that pressure go down And I need that thing to go through Got a pent up thing to pass on Got a bad attitude to piss down Up on the platform lost in these thoughts Station departing ready or not I think you've got it made, but then I don't know you I don't know your private pain because love I don't know you Oh the secrets we keep without even trying No emergency calls we're not even trying

You and I must go to the party Where we will be begging for it Emanating land of nature Appreciate the forest currents Marvel at the processes around us Showering the earth with colors No motives and no second guesses Seeing how the trees connect us You and I must go to the party Where we will be begging for it Worshipping the order of nature Appreciate the forest currents Mourning for the wonder that surrounds us I continue bad behavior Naked greed and educated guesses Drinking on this pasteurized cows milk You and I must go to the party Where we will be begging for it

At the edge, there we were With the kids and the carry on, our carry on Cause we ain't getting back to no hearth fire Sorry but we don't belong, we don’t belong My arrows to the ground, walk with me I know it cannot stay stable will you walk with me Images won’t leave my head will you answer me Walk that palace that you can, but will you answer me Walk that good road that you can, that’s worth believing in But utopia’s not seemed so far away At the edge, there we were With the kids and the carry on, our carry on Cause we ain't getting back to no hearth fire Sorry but we don't belong, we don’t belong My weapons to the ground walk with me I know it cannot stay stable will you walk with me Images won’t leave my head will you answer me Walk that palace that you can, will you answer me Walk that good road that you can, that’s worth believing in 'Cause utopia’s not seemed so far away

We put in work, we bit it all off Metro New York helluva lot bout it Dance with your arms out I know that I love you Transplant from golden, I want to be with you I felt just nineteen, and really quite alone. Call home every day, fancy yourself alone Walked that day goodbye, put it in a song I was primed for you, doing what you do You had a pencil set, holding up your hair Half a wisp of green, wisdom past your years You have the bright bright spark from your artist fam Walked that day goodbye, yet to do me wrong We put in work, we bit it all off Metro New York helluva lot bout it Dance with your arms out I know that I love you Transplant from golden, I want to be with you This one time that I came to truly be your man You had a scary pain, and I was by your side Singing songs to you, while you curled in the tub When I could make you safe, giving back to you My heart wont let this go You just get better love Not shining cause we're young Got higher got above We put in work, we bit it all off Metro New York helluva lot bout it Dance with your arms out I know that I love you Transplant from golden, I want to be with you

Well maybe I'm bored and maybe I’m bad I'm feeling anxiety and numb in the head Maybe I'm born, and maybe I'm dead I feel so excited and I'm dancing Maybe I'm scared having an entrance the way that I'm living Lately then coming is better than going I'm thinking of something we all wanted to say You're having us sail on your heavenly seas We bob up and down on your heavenly seas, yeah Well maybe I'm bored and maybe I’m bad I'm feeling anxiety and numb in the head Maybe I'm born, and maybe I'm dead I feel so excited and I'm dancing Maybe I'm scared having an entrance the way that I'm living Lately then coming is better than going I'm thinking of something we all wanted to say You're having us sail on your heavenly seas We bob up and down on your heavenly seas

When I wake up in the morning screens surrounding me When I put myself to bed pictures burned in me So many colors pass through my hand, take it away I'm hypnotized and it's me and my baby, we've nothing to say I want us to take a trip beyond control Way beyond tight butt for formal interviews Or talking to police explaining what you do We might have to make another way What we've been handed down, screens surrounding me As I hand it to my child theres a twitch inside of me Captured like zombie I lust and I scroll, it's beyond my control There's brand new devices that we will be getting when we're getting old I want us to take a trip beyond control Way beyond tight butt for formal interviews Or talking to police explaining what you do We might have to make another way We might have to let our network go We might have to let our future let us down We might have to watch the good times roll over the edge Damn good time to make another way

There she was floating down from Vatican There she was singing me her name I felt dumb then I went half way to meet her There she was singing me her name I like to go there, 'cause it's good to know you I fall in to so many good things on my way I like to go there, 'cause it's good to know you I fall in to so many good things on my way I fall in to so many good things on my way I fall in to so many good things on my way

Wind beneath my feet Sky behind my hair Loosen up my stance People might not care Shale gas, whale fat We’re essentially grimy Why do I pull myself apart You’ve such a lovely voice Make it easy on yourself, easy on yourself You’re not in my scene You’re not on my side Your testimony’s dumb I’m off my head Making it so hard Making my complex We’re essentially grimy Why do I pull myself apart You’ve such a lovely voice Make it easy on yourself, easy on yourself No time to waste On a path to nowhere Our making must accelerate World crazy now It’s breaking down I’m gonna fight in a way They’ll never see it We mixed that color away But now we want to see it World's crazy now It’s breaking down Wind beneath my feet Sky behind my hair Loosen up my stance People might not care Shale gas, whale fat We’re essentially grimy Why do I pull myself apart You’ve such a lovely voice Make it easy on yourself, easy on yourself

Melon Sweet 02:45
My melon's sweet, the one I got goes straight up to the head My melon's sweet, it trips me out just from the cellophane My melons sweet, even though they're trucked a frightful way So I guess I'll see you later Late night conversations, us remaining here another day Gray hazy day, plenty of people on the street today But colorful inside, dance before our eyes and make me say That my melon's sweet, puts a light so deep into my head So I guess I'll see you later Late night conversations, hold you for a wave as it pass by

When I have what I want, and I'm keeping it that way, I like to hang out with Mary Jane It's feeling so saturated and zoomed, machinery sprouts these curling forms I asked her to wait and bear it with me, when we're picking up in foreign countries My monkey can act and show me the way, animated then erased the day Smoke with me I like to smoke get carried away Ooh live it up safe as you can as you hurtle towards the end This moment stretches on and on That we have each other Blaze with me as we enter our heads When you share ectatic passing with me, this loving's been building for a long long time I hear our old show from the other room but I don't watch that anymore This saturated headspace carried away, I'm barely making out distorted forms. Buildings go up and planet will move, another puff then pass that round. Smoke with me I like to smoke get carried away Ooh live it up safe as you can as you hurtle towards the end This moment stretches on and on Here we have each other Blaze with me as we enter our heads
