HighDesert This album is so fucking good. Raw talent.. more hook than a one-hundred-dollar Bill. Needs a limited vinyl drop like I need a few hundred thousand one hundred dollar bills... Favorite track: Liquor Picnic.

C'mon Kitty 02:36
C’mon Kitty put your headphones on C’mon Kitty put your headphones on The sky’s so dark C’mon Kitty put your headphones on C’mon Kitty put your headphones on The sky’s so dark There’s a rumble in the city There’s a car outside He's gonna try to get you in it Gonna take you for a ride​ You’d better get yourself ready Put your blinders on Queue up Hunky Dory Andy Warhol song And your bulletproof vest, I suggest you put it on C’mon Kitty put your headphones on C’mon Kitty put your headphones on The sky’s so dark ​

Shadow wasn’t her name but still that’s what she’d say As her curtain would rise and her movie would play The sun hit the line and we were out in the strange She had this fear in her eyes and I was starting to pray Oh I couldn’t wait Oh I just couldn’t wait When the night comes tumbling down Oh you cannot be saved Shadow wasn’t her name but it was all the same As we breathed in and out and talked outer space Drinking blood from her glass, I was drunk on her pain We laid our bodies down and let our hands have their way Oh I couldn’t wait Oh I just couldn’t wait When the night comes tumbling down Oh you cannot be saved I was talking to ghosts, she was singing to me I took a drink from her mouth, she opened for me Then the woods started howling and the wind blew the trees We were apparitions, we turned into a dream Oh I couldn’t wait Oh I couldn’t wait When the night comes tumbling down Oh you cannot be saved

Convicts 02:46
We are wandering souls through the hallway at night With our hands in our pockets and our secrets alive We are ghosts, baby You and I We are cold, we are eyes, we are circling flies We’ve had enough and we’ve never tried We are bones, baby You and I We will fade like the light We will never be found Like a wave that never Quite touches the ground We’ll go missing We’ll go missing We’ll escape like convicts Gone underground We’ll be gone by the time They are looking around We’ll be missing We’ll be missing We are the darkening stars in a dying sky We just the kind of people that we don’t even like We are lost, baby You and I We will fade like the light We will never be found Like a wave that never Quite touches the ground We’ll go missing We’ll go missing We’ll escape like convicts Gone underground We’ll be gone by the time They are looking around We’ll be missing We’ll be missing

Fatal Flaw 02:28
Down the drain by the old arcade Some teenage shivery If you pay attention, man You can still hear whispering You were caught with your hand in the jar You’re not sorry for anything Admit it, you’ve got a fatal flaw And it’s probably worth mentioning Come on Anjali I’ve got you Come on Anjali I’ve got you Come on Anjali, I’ll take you home I’m no saint myself, to be honest And I rarely tell the truth I’m not making eye contact I’m just here to help you Come on Anjali I’ve got you Come on Anjali I’ve got you Come on Anjali, I’ll take you home Come on Anjali I’ve got you Come on Anjali I’ve got you Come on Anjali, I’ll take you home​

Alright? 03:49
I can’t stand the falling leaves They remind me of the sun I can’t stand the way you sing It reminds me of everyone I can’t stand my thoughts and dreams Or the stranger I’ve become My skin, it whispers and the bees do sting Yeah, this whole thing is no fun I’m gonna be alright Dried up eyes, desert things They feel like cotton balls Shaking legs a’ wandering Going nowhere at all I can’t stand my thoughts and dreams These images recalled My skin, it whispers and the bees do sting Yeah, this whole thing is a ball I’m gonna be alright I can’t stand the buildings and wires The things that block the sky I can’t stand the sound of tires Rumbling at night I once knew a cigarette girl And she was out of her mind Now I can’t stand the memory This whole thing is a lie I’m gonna be alright​

Ravensong 04:08
I don't wanna be here alone without your raven song Ink spilling out of the stars into the sky Somewhere out here in the dark, I know you're flying Headlights, far away cars as they go by I miss you but I couldn't say why I don't wanna be here alone without your raven song I want you to swallow me up and keep me inside Shrink my body down until it's right sized I will go wherever you go, cry when you cry I need you but I couldn't say why I don't wanna be here alone without your raven song

Pentagram 03:20
I want you to come in and silence The noise that is inside my head Your perfect face and its violence Just lay me right down in this bed Most of our kisses are stolen More than our lips turning red Electricity in your motion The shock as you step from your dress There are ancient ideas in the shadows There are libraries full of ‘em, man And I smile as I step to the gallows Tattooed with your pentagram If there is a mercy in this story It's in the way that it ends You never asked my forgiveness And I never offered it, man The silver a’ shining in your hair The fireworks of your glare I wouldn’t skip this for anything And there’s nothing in you that is scared Come to me, come to me, come to me I’m begging you, this is a prayer Take me and ruin my mattress Show me just how much you care​

V.D. 03:36
Across the carpet in a downtown tenement, I’ve got skidding Your arms around my neck I know you’re not kidding I’m no stranger to bad decisions when it comes to decisions The calamity starts to feel like plain old living I felt a crawl coming up my skin Until the room was spinning I felt your love or whatever it is Come into my physics You’ve got it Now I’ve got it Doctor, doctor on the 7th floor please help me kick it She’s like a violence in my pores, it’s endemic Doctor help me shake this noise, I need an exorcism I’ve got a valentine poison inside me swimming I felt a crawl coming up my skin Until the room was spinning I felt your love or whatever it is Come into my physics You’ve got it Now I’ve got it ​

We woke up standing in line Fucking the future from behind Darling please, take my hand if it's the end of the world we should dance Hanging tree limbs, concrete eyes There is nothing in us, nothing inside Darling please, take my hand if it's the end of the world we should dance Cheek to cheek, whispering kiss Oh let them find us just like this Darling please, take my hand if it's the end of the world we should dance
