Magic

Friday, May 19th, 2006

From the back of your big brown eyes
I knew you’d be gone as soon as you could
And i hoped you would
We could see that you weren’t yourself
And the lines on your face did tell
It’s just as well
You’d never be yourself again

Saw you last night
Dance by the light of the moon
Stars in your eyes
Free from the life that you knew

You’re the magic that holds the sky up from the ground
You’re the breath that blows these cool winds ’round
Trading places with an angel now
Saw you last night
Dance by the light of the moon
Stars in your eyes
Free from the life that you knew
Saw you last night
Stars in your eyes
Smiled in my room

Army

Friday, May 19th, 2006

Well I thought about the army,
Dad said, son you’re fuckin high.
And I thought, yeah there’s a first for everything,
so I took my old man’s advice.
Three sad semesters,
it was only fifteen grand.
Spent in bed I thought about the army,
I dropped out and joined a band instead.

Grew a moustache and a mullet,
Got a job at chic-fil-a.
Citing artistic differences the band broke up in May,
and in June reformed without me, and they got a different name.
I nuked another grandma’s apple pie
and hung my head in shame.

Been thinking a lot today.
Been thinking a lot today.

Ohhhh, I think I’ll write a screenplay.
Ohhhh, I think I’ll take it to LA.
Ohhhh, I think I’ll get it done yesterday (aww shit).

In this time of introspection.
On the eve of my election,
I say to my reflection
God, please spare me more rejection.
Cause my peers they criticize me,
and my ex-wives all despise me.
Try to put it all behind me,
but my redneck past is nipping at my heels

I’ve been thinking a lot today.
I’ve been thinking a lot today.
I’ve been thinking a lot today.
I thought about the army…
