Trophy Song

the longer we wait
the warmer their arms get
and we don't want that
do we?
idling is the key
to grabbing the globe
the trophy we hold
in our greatest gloves
in our greatest loves

and that's the way we fly
and that's the way the news goes
drifting up and off and into orbit
the slogan reads
"we're never grounded
but always proud of our pilots
goggles shining from the open skies above"
falling from the clouds
out of love
out of fuel
out of you
i went window shopping
at the human trafficking store
to see if i could grab
a thrifty new pilot
for my underground show
they said they were all out of you
who would want you

The Death Of Activism
01:52
|
|

|
opening the part of the room
with walls painted red
and chairs painted blue
curtains tattered, letting in the breeze
I feel free
nothing's happening
there's no incentive
no cause to fight for
holding down the neutral fort
fighting of the neural sort
hosting knife fights in the gun ring
dead girls won't notice but they'll playfully sing "da ny da"
denied a fair trail on which to crawl
baking in the sun unless there's nothing at all to fight for
but then who will we write for?

Flying High
01:34
|
|
||
|
skies are right for flying tonight
the fire's bright enough
let's go flying tight in our sights
the other side is high
warm recoveries standing ground
broken blueprints left to flounder
we're flying high tonight
softer landings taking shape
hit it off against the grate
outta sight

River Townies

gracefully swayed by the
river townies
i have the wrong idea
surface on marble floors
markets for breaking doors
townies of shedding age
riding the next big sage
doubled down on the phone
take the wrong way home
masters of intellect and bad intel
the bass wont ride and it wont sell
wheres Creep when you need him?

the Tin Can Laughter
like Rectangle Creep but the Hello Whirled guy sings instead
the Tin Can Laughter recommends:
Double Superfine
by Rectangle Creep
Dan makes fun weird instrumentals for Rectangle Creep with the guy who wrote the Bob Pollard book. How cool is that?

Skin At 15 Degrees
by Hello Whirled
Ben writes weird songs for Hello Whirled. They're not fun. He's a sad sack who spends too much writing Bandcamp recommendations.
