1.	Better Forever 04:48	lyrics	buy track
We can ride it all night, or we can turn the wheel We could gun it and make up all the time, but you'd rather steal You play the game too hard, but you like it rough You get called out in the yard, cuz you ain't nice enough Well, I hope you feel better Better forever, living the dream Such a go getter, so wild and free You may take their advice, nunchaku it out the window Break apart your furniture, over your Nintendo You play the game too hard, but you like it rough You get called out in the yard, cuz you ain't nice enough Well, I hope you feel better Better forever, living the dream Such a go getter, so wild and free So wiid and free, you're so wild and free
2.	Tom McCall 04:00	lyrics	buy track
The salmon and the steelhead are running God knows, you know it’s all pretty good Now and in the future We’ve gotta keep the grasping wastrels out of our neighborhood Slipping back into the vortex Floatin over Multnomah Falls Where will all the people come from next Paging Governor Tom McCall Oregon is demure and lovely She oughta play a little hard to get I think you'll agree, you’d be as sick as me If you find out it’s just another hungry hussy yet, whoa Slipping back into the vortex Floatin over Multnomah Falls Where will all the people come from next? Paging Governor Tom McCall I wonder where the heroes went Where is the glow of yesteryear? I don’t know how long ago they left But I think I know why they disappeared Slipping back into the vortex Floatin over Multnomah Falls Where will all the people come from next Paging Governor Tom McCal
3.	Sublimity 02:55	lyrics	buy track
I love you and it's showing I ain't afraid of you knowing This whole world full of doom and gloom We just gotta keep going I wish we were living in a simpler time We could lay around and watch our lives go by Can't we all just get along it's worth a try Instead it's all and eye for an eye I kiss you every morning Maybe twice if it's storming Earth continually warming Thanks again for the warning I wish we were living in a simpler time We could lay around and watch our lives go by Can't we all just get along it's worth a try Instead it's all and eye for an eye I love you and it's showing I ain't afraid of you knowing This whole world full of doom and gloom We just gotta keep going I wish we were living in a simpler time We could lay around and watch our lives go by Can't we all just get along it's worth a try Instead we're all Finding out that truth don't matter in the wild Every single grownup still an angry child There will be no God and sinner reconciled The end, it's all an eye for an eye
4.	Phantasm 05:14	lyrics	buy track
All the fields where we spent the same time Tangled vines of rhythm and wine It hasn't been the greatest year I'm begging a phantasm Don't disappear Electromagnet hemispheres gone Come and go with the summer swan Reemerging as your greatest fear I'm begging a phantasm Don't disappear She keeps telling me the same thing Give it to me slow I ain't here for information Tell me everything you know She keeps telling me the same thing Give it to me slow I ain't here for information Tell me everything you know All the fields where we spent the same time Tangled vines of rhythm and wine Has it been the greatest year? I'm begging a phantasm Don't disappear She keeps telling me the same thing Give it to me slow I ain't here for information Tell me everything you know She keeps telling me the same thing Give it to me slow I ain't here for information Tell me everything you know, you know
5.	DB Cooper 04:48	lyrics	buy track
Memorized, compromised, swallowed lies, bought my disguise Back in the 503 Preboard 305 Once I'm airborne, they won't take me alive Gotta leave this plane somehow Better get amnesia right now, home Innocents will be set free Pilots will not be harmed Family won't miss me on the farm Sit right down here next to me Focus on my black briefcase Heed my words but please forget my face Gotta leave this plane somehow Better get amnesia right now Gotta leave this plane somehow Better get amnesia right now, home Gotta leave this plane somehow Better get amnesia right now Gotta leave this plane somehow Better get amnesia right now, home, home, home, home...
