Did you hear the wall of sound
Fell down today?
Well, Do you believe in karma?
What a way to go anyway
And I smell you on my sweater
While you’re across the park
Calling some girl a musical genius
I got your note
It meant a lot
Coming from you
Cause you “need a man”
But it’s about the things that you do
And so I watch the trees swaying
Air passing thru
Both of our words
Stars stripes and Venus
Oh my time you take
Like seven layer cake
Ooooo
Now back to the man
Who’s thinking bout his lady genius
Imagining her mind’s like his
Congenial, deviant
With a leather kiss from me
Anytime he says he needs it
I call that a game
Stars stripes and Venus
She’s cold so you agree
You roll the dough and knead
Just turn around
My shoreline’s receded
Cause you say lots of things
To trade the king for queen

So you can feel me, reaching
Without my hands
Closed and wondering
Only with eyes, could you
Could you
Who knows maybe you’ll lose me too
Who knows maybe you’ll lose me too
Take me past your tape tonight
I’ll meet the faces loners love to see
Could you Show me those eyes of yours
Could you
Is rigidness melting, hang tight
Rip tide just take me
Sweep me like a broom
Is softening what you want to do
Could you
Who knows maybe you’ll lose me too
Who knows maybe you’ll lose me too

I should have spoken upÂ
Instead of just keeping trackÂ
The night that you got all messed up butÂ
I've got a red circleÂ
In all of the circles on my backÂ
From Halloween last fall whenÂ
I went to the party like thatÂ
I said I should dress up how I feelÂ
And they all lined upÂ
Metal and magnets in hand
Who is she supposed to be?
Anybody else but me
It was the backside of his brain that made him dive
Into the pool that you were trying to fill withÂ
Little buckets filled up from your eyes
He popped the drain said, "They don't like it when it rains”
All rise, who will speak for thee?
Anybody else but me.
Instrumental
(ooooo)Â
Oh my time you take
Like seven layer cake
He said he hated musicals
But he was always hiding outÂ
At that Las Vegas residency with
Fire on stage and theÂ
Theatrics of fame Â
And a sad plot that takes place backstage
I said, "It feels like you're fixing to ruin me."
He said, "If everybody still loves me."
Oh my time you take,
Like seven layer cake

Sitting in my room thinking of you
But you’re so stupid
Sitting in your room thinking of someone else
Dumb fucking cupid
And you deserve none of us
Suck all our goodness
Cause some big fuss
Oh, I trust none of you
One day I’ll only think about me
You make that look easy
Plus when I’m feeling strong
I just want you to see
I guess it takes strength you see
To give no shits authentically
Cause I trust none of you
No I trust none of you
I said darling please by careful with me
Shame on me
Darling please by careful with me
Shame on me

Royal Blue

At least when the spring comes
you'll know that you've already had
Enough of the snow
and the royal blue by your bed
You say you're doing favors but it feels like a curse
You keep cutting corners
Somebody is bound to get hurt
Royal Blue
Royal Blue
The one you've been so loyal to
Royal Blue
Royal Blue
The one you've been so loyal to
You say it's all you have
If you didn't like what the spring saw
You'd leave it behind
Reinvent for summer
Expect it to conquer your mind
Break in a pair of new eyes
No you don't have the time
You dug a deep hole and you foolishly threw them inside
of that Royal Blue
Royal Blue
The one you've been so loyal to
Royal Blue
Royal Blue
The one you've been so loyal to
You say it's all you have
