BIG BAD LYRICS

DO IT AGAIN

It's going over my head
Why we should do it again
It's a dark cloud in a Sunday sky
Cats and dogs and the dread

This is over and out for me
Any words in your mouth I doubt I need
I'm going under the knife
You're standing off to the side
Gonna recast you with someone who likes
It's too late to try

This is over and out for me
Any words in your mouth I doubt I need

BLACK AND WHITE

A color scheme in black and white
Is something good to see
You laugh out loud and roll your eyes
You don't know much about me

But would you like to?
Not gonna let you

A candelabra don't think twice
The water's blue and green
You look me in my blinking eyes
You don't touch guys like me

But would you like to?
Not gonna let you

Now that you've gone away
What I've been trying to say
I want a blue sky in morning
I want an old friend who's golden
Cut off the loose threads I'm holding
These are my demands
Yes, these are my demands

POWER LINES

Your vision's got an instinct to be blurred
Stop off for a drink heading home from work
The rhythm needs release, I understand
Cause it takes a lot of effort to look like
You wanna walk a straight line all your life
It's time to let yourself get out of hand

But after midnight

I'm starting to suspect there's someone else
Going by the name you call yourself
Kissing in hotel rooms after dark
You don't have to say you know what it's like
Buzzing like a knocked down power line
Blurred out all the edges
Counting sparks

But after midnight

When it feels right
You forget what you were
Freaked out and uptight
The years start to blur

LEADER OF THE PACK

This time you're the leader of the pack
Making all the insecure blonde girls feel pretty bad
It isn't for the reason that you think
Stuck inside a loop inside a mirror
By a train

It sounds so sweet
Saturday in the summertime
Sitting next to me

Riding in the trunk and facing back
Driving down a one-way street with friends you never had
Love it when it's bright and loud and easy
Watch it slip away
A golden record repeating

It sounds so sweet
Saturday in the summertime
Sitting next to me
But I can't stay still
You never change
And now I'm afraid that you never will

A different kind of darkness Is coming on to me
You could get everything you wanted
But nothing that you need

LET'S EXPLODE

Wait, the water's not that deep
Slow it down
Can't fight the weeds
Does it count as satisfied
If you lost your appetite?

True, it's wasted on the young
Night like sugar on your tongue
Halfway out and starry-eyed
What's it take to feel alive?

In a dark room
From a distance
With my eyes closed
What's the difference?
Just a speck on a speck on a speck
On a deep unknown
Let's explode

LASER BEAMS

Honestly I feel that curtain calling me
A siren in a frozen sea
Staring me down

No regrets
The whole thing's sorta meaningless
I'm swimming in a waterbed
You should see me now

Honestly I feel that shadow under me
My gray hairs on a silver screen
I'm wearing out

GET LOOSE

You gotta get loose
A weekend away
Turn back the clocks
Tomorrow can wait

It's just like you but happier
A lot like you but funnier

You gotta get through
She's calling your name
She glitters like gold
Hey, you can explain

Ziplock bags
New drug store cures
Flash light eyes from dark corners

Something new, exciting
Fucked up and inviting
You can let your hair down
Just don't let nobody in
I can tell you're hiding
Blood cells multiplying
Something in your pocket
And a bad moon on the rise

PPV

I wish that I was in a car with you
Drinking tequila in a hotel room
Crawl back to bed until the maid walks in
The world is spinning me around again

I wish that I was in a car with you
Drinking tequila watching pay per view

Don't know why I'm still surprised to see
That shadow slowly creeping up on me
Natural disasters I can't keep at bay
A fire spreading down the interstate

Sometimes I think I'm in a car with you
Forget where I'm going
Float up through the roof

I wanna soften the edges
Come on and soften me up

REDEEMED

Twisted logic
Flag are raised
The comfort comes too slow
Think you know me
That's ok
The sinking starts to pull

But I could be redeemed
If just everyone who knows me leaves
Say I'm going by Levi
Say I cut off my hair

Lazy boys and blonde haired girls
The easy beat begun
Overheated underworld I'll try anything once

But I could be redeemed
If everyone who knows me leaves
Say I'm going by Levi
Say I grow out my hair

It's a wonderful life
When the angle's just right

But I could be redeemed
The bubblegum twist
The machine
Now I'm going by Levi
Probably losing my hair

TO BE FREE

In my shoulders
Down my spine
You can feel it cross my mind
You don't wanna be seen
Say it's different around me
Yeah right

It takes time to be free

Walking backwards
Blocking it out
There's no real world
So why stop now?
Nothing hurts anymore
Do you feel it when you think about before?

It takes time to be free

STRUGGLERS

Wait in the car
You can stay till it's over
Strugglers have no home
Year over year do you feel any older?
Honestly I don't

But I am I guess
Whatever
I am I guess
Who cares

Every mistake Like a stain on the carpet
Midnight New Year's past
Swear that it's true
Say there's no way around it
Nothing good can last

But it's you and me forever
Yeah it's you and me for good

Don't tell me twice
I am a mountain
Not scared to die
Flashes of lightning
I feel the sun exploding
Friends who moved away
We're losing time
Don't have to tell me twice
