it tore his heart in half when they broke it to him
the news came and went
slowly moving right through him
like a 10 hour shift
putting half his heart into it
what was left of it he tried to put in songs to sing
songs with bad titles
that's what half a heart brings
he styles his hair like a porcupine
cause he don't wanna be touched none of the time
he dreams of shooting quills at them
James no longer works at the liquor store
i will lend a helping hand
you can use the chorus of this song
as the name of your band
your mind is begging you to stop now
the songs that you write are lacking love
anyhow
like a 10 hour shift putting half your heart into it
James no longer works at the liquor store
i won't even take credit for it
put a little love in your
put a little love in your half heart

Grass stained elbows knees and feet

the slim kid with the real quick feet
applies an uppercut
knocking him out so hard
Cardboard Champion

Well you said to me
that you wanna be
alone for a little while
that;s okay by me
but exactly how long's a little while?
I kinda had a hunch
that's what you wanted anyway
anyway it's okay
it's
okay
to want to runaway
run away with your love
We made an oath
when we were younger
you know that we were gonna be with each other
but now i know
we're gonna die
in separate lives
far from each other
I kinda had a hunch
that's what you wanted anyway
anyway it's okay
it's
okay
you know to wanna runaway
run away with your love

An indoor cat named Megadeath
well he steals my socks and
gets off on them
he's got a lot of toys he don't touch
he likes my socks very very much
I can hear him writhing
always sniffing
I can hear him writhing
in the other room and
where he get them
I don't know
a good guess
a good guess
An indoor cat named Megadeath

Up here the air is my fix
fixes me up so right
boat to go trolling in
putting up a big big fight
Jitterbug is gonna catch me
gonna catch me dinner tonight
A newborn to hold in my arms
what a god dam beautiful sight
boat to go trolling in
putting up a big big fight
Jitterbug is gonna catch me
gonna catch me dinner tonight
smell the skunk now
smell the skunk
smell the skunk
right under your nose
why'd he have to
why'd he go
why'd he go
back into the water
Sitting up listening to Bob
I'll be your baby tonight
boat to go trolling in putting up a big big fight
Jitterbug is gonna catch me
gonna catch me dinner tonight
why'd he have to
why'd he go
why'd he go
back into the water
smell the skunk now
smell the skunk
smell the skunk
right under your nose
