(instrumental)


Nothing To Do With What Happened
Things get fuzzy when you haven't slept
Bright and blurry like bad TV
Man it's so so so so bad
When they break into your favorite show

Whenever there is a crisis
You just wait for a commercial break
Never really helps anything
But at least you might get some sleep

This has nothing to do with what happened
This has nothing to do with what happened

It's hard to look around the town
You don't wanna miss anything
I don't wanna miss the concrete
But man I wish I wish I wish they had

And they break into your favorite show
Like they break into your favorite brain
They tried to kill my irony
While I was doing my laundry

This has nothing to do with what happened
This has nothing to do with what happened

They've got a god and baby they're real fans
They wanna go and see his paradise
Man I sure wish I wish they would
I know I know that I don't think that way

But things get fuzzy when you haven't slept
Bright and blurry like bad TV
And man it's so so so so bad
When they break into your favorite brain

This has nothing to do with what happened
This has nothing to do with what happened


Bullet Train
I feel surrounded like a train
I feel surrounded like a bullet
And everybody is sexy
Now I know that it's not just me

I want to know why it is I need everyone to be in love with me x4

I feel surrounded like a train
And everybody's sexy just like a bullet

I want to know why it is I need everyone to be in love with me x4


What About You
Something is dead
Something is blue
Get out your door and stop your shaking
I think I hear my bones breaking
What about you

Laid her down this strong woman
Put her so far underground
None of us lives forever
I think that's so damn clever
What about you

Say what you will
Things get bad but still
There's more beauty to this world
That I have yet to see

Now the connection is bad
You're barely coming through

I said the line is bad
You're barely coming through
Get out your door and stop your shaking
I think I hear my heart breaking
What about you

Get out your door and stop your shaking
I think I hear my heart breaking
What about you


The Bottom of It
I can't see you
Cos everything's a commotion
You're deeper
Yeah I think you're an ocean
And I'll get to the bottom of it
I'll get to the bottom of it
One day I'll get to the bottom of it
I'm sure I will one day

Yeah some day
This troubled sea is gonna part
Yeah some day
I'll see inside your bruised heart
And I'll get to the bottom of it
I'll get to the bottom of it
One day I'll get to the bottom of it
I'm sure I will one day

And if I don't drown in your ocean
If I can sail upon your troubled heart
Then maybe this is more than just a notion
Aww

Yeah some day
This angry sea is gonna part
Yeah some day
You just might turn my wooden heart
And you'll get to the bottom of it
You'll get to the bottom of it
One day you'll get to the bottom of it
I'm sure you will one day

We'll get to the bottom of it
We'll get to the bottom of it
One day we'll get to the bottomg of it
I know we will one day


Mulletproof Vest
I became abstract
Took out a contract
Kept watch on my back
Set up a phone tap
Broke out my alt crap
Read up on Saul Bass
Started a new crash

This is my mulletproof vest x4

Fought off the Cyrus
Fought off the glam rush
It was not glamorous
I used to have one
It's on my license
Used to embarass
Down in Cabarrus

This is my mulletproof vest x4

Now I'm a short hair
No party back there
Now it's all business
I'll keep it like this
Fight to stay abstract
Break out the alt crap
Dust off my Frank Black
Start up a new crash

This is my mulletproof vest x8



mk12's The Heat of the Ninja
(written by Matt Fraction/performed by Shaun Harmontree)
A ninja's heart is shiny
His soul is sleek
His hands are tiny
But that's not what women seek

The heat of the ninja
The fire that burns inside
It's so hot in the heat of the ninja
He'll burn you alive

His car is faulty
His dog is nice
At the age of forty
He won't sell at any price

The heat of the ninja x4



In The Aeroplane Over The Sea
(written by Jeff Mangum)
What a beautiful face
I have found in this place
That is circling all round the sun
What a beautiful dream
That could flash on the screen
In a blink of an eye and be gone from me
Soft and sweet
Let me hold it close and keep it here with me

And one day we will die
And our ashes will fly from the aeroplane over the sea
But for now we are young
Let us lay in the sun
And count every beautiful thing we can see
Love to be
In the arms of all I'm keeping here with me

And there's ghosts* all around
Hear their voice** as it's rolling and ringing through me
Soft and sweet
How the notes all bend and reach above the trees

Now how I remember you
How I would push my fingers through
Your mouth to make those muscles move
That made your voice so smooth and sweet
And now we keep where we don't know
All secrets sleep in winter clothes
With one you loved so long ago
Now he don't even know his name

What a beautiful face
I have found in this place
That is circling all round the sun
And when we meet on a cloud
I'll be laughing out loud
I'll be laughing with everyone I see
Can't believe how strange it is to be anything at all

Blackbird

* - I sang this line wrong and went with it. I know it's wrong, in both grammar and accuracy, but then... this is a cover. And if I don't change it a little, what's the point in re-doing it (I'm talking to you, Van Sant)?

** - This also had to be changed to correctly relate to the first line. Some argue that it doesn't make grammatical sense, either. But I think of it as all the ghosts having one voice. So, if you think of it like that, blah blah blah.
