Alley Cat 02:41
Have you met my friend, the alley cat? She’s ran these streets for years, And everyone knows that. With a glance of love, she’s bound to flee. Everyone sees her scars, but she’s beautiful to me. It’s just a dream to get this cat inside. To see her see your life, to see her eyes open wide. But just like a dream, she fades away. Except she wakes up first, just to hang in the alley all day. Have you met my friend, the alley cat? She's ran these streets for years, and everyone knows that. With a glance of love, she's bound to flee. It’s tough to see past her scars but, She's beautiful to me.

Oh my, I’ll never know why These silly fish fall for my bait every single time. And even though they know to stay away from me, They seem to love my treats, and how they’re nearly free. Tough way to pay for a breath of fresh air, But they don’t seem to mind, and they don’t even care. They seem to love this high and I can tell you why, They spend their lives swimming and can finally say I was caught and have been released. With this rod, I’m a god to them. I give them a high I could never comprehend. I wish I was a fish, and someone would catch me, And for a moment fear that I would never be released. I wish I was a fish and I was swimming for my life, I’ve spent my days fishing, and can finally say I was caught and have been released, Back to my home and family.

I just want to get high, and that's all right. I'll smoke some weed cuz I think weed is tight. I hope this feeling stays with me all night, into tomorrow and for the rest of my life. I just want to smoke weed with my friends after school, and be high, and be cool, just like the cool kids do. I just want to smoke weed with my friends all the time, and be high, and be cool, and be out of my mind. I just want to smoke weed. I just want to smoke weed with my friends. I just want to be high. I just want to be high all the time, is that really such a bad thing to want?

Snail Mail 03:46
My friend sends packages every day, Every day through the mail. They take too long to get there, Because they only employ snails. Throw some salt on trail of the snail, He’s delivering the mail, That’s a snail, working the mail.

Quarantine 03:04
Don't get close to me, I have the disease. Don't get close to me, I have the disease, I'm in quarantine. Don't come to my house, please don't make leave. I'm not trying to be rude, not trying to be mean. I have the disease, I'm in quarantine. I'm in quarantine for fourteen days. I could change the world; it could start with me. I could change the world, it could start with me, if I quarantine. I could save the world; the hero will be me. I will change the world; it will start with me. I will isolate, and I will quarantine. I will quarantine for fourteen days.

Do you believe in aliens? Because I sure do. Do you think that we're alone? Because I'm scared to. It's so much more fun to believe in green guys and UFO's. And to know that someone somewhere, could never call Earth home. Look to the skies, to your ancestors above. Only those who believe will be invaded with love. But if you question the stars, you'll see how bizarre, That all of this has been explained by Bob Lazar.

I don’t think that I grew up, I just think that I got old. I don’t think I did enough Or maybe I did too much and I burnt out. That’s the funny thing with life, You’ll never know if you got it right. Maybe if I could decide, On what to do with my life. Maybe if I start again, A brand-new life, with brand new friends, I wouldn’t be so scared. I could explore the world for something new, And embrace a whole new point of view, And I would magically change.

Call Me 02:44
You want to come in my house, and call me a bitch?

I'm stuck in space, I'm so far from home. I really miss my life, and I feel so alone. It’s been so long since I’ve seen my wife, I wonder if she's moved on, and found new life. It’s what I'm trying to discover, so I’d understand, Why she’d need to be with an earthbound man. I'm stuck in space, I'm so far from home. I really miss my life, and I feel so alone. STARDATE : I don’t know I’ve lost track of time. You lose track of the days when you can’t see the sun shine. But I hope back home that they’ve been counting the days, Since I left Earth just to be stuck in space.

Little bee, swarming around the hand she's held between. A force of nature to behold a queen, I think I like her but she's stinging me. I think I like her stinging me, running into windows. Stinging me, going hardly noticed. I’m a house for you. I am living body home to you, You are something new. Shake the dust from your tiny body, And sting me.
