keep on working
oilbird
just so you can't see me here like this
alone on a grey field
oilbird
every heart has it's breaking point
king and sterling mister
what more you take away
heavy hearts hang
just walk away
oilbird
just so you can't hurt me anymore
does she look you in the eye?
oilbird
every highway has it's ending point
kind and sterling lover
what more you take away
heavy hearts hang
just think that she's true
see that woman in the room
pass the time you're gonna die
so we dance past guns and fields
founding fathers right behind
to a bus driving away
going fast into the sound
another coming the same way
to a crashing silent sound
and it's so slow
just think that's she's true
is she true?

baby doll

i’m a ghost, i’m a ghost
i'm a wandering ghost
now see if you can find me
i’m a dog, i’m a dog
i’m a well-trained dog
now see if you can bind me down
now pull a little tighter
you know that I will like it
& you will too
be a little less nicer
no I won’t fight it
until we’re through
less is more
i’m a virgin, i’m a whore
now see if you can fix me
you can’t un-stitch your heart of bricks
& you know that i miss it
i heard from a friend that you got a new friend
& that makes me sad
i also heard that she touched you real good
so you won’t be coming back
well good!
that’s how the story ends
but remember how it started?
you were so shy but you looked just fine to me
you were ten feet tall on your pedestal
that I always made up for you
disposable, your old rag doll
itching for something new
you were never really clear
you want me far you want me near
but you want me none the less
it was just too hard so I push off the wall
falling down to second best
well good!
that’s how the story ends
but remember how it started?
you were so shy but you looked just fine to me
can you give me your all?
& i’ll give you my all
i can be your baby doll

bad horse

he wants to break the bad horse
he wants me down on all fours
he wants porcelain beauty
he wants that girl to be me
but i want to fight
you’re not my type
i hate your mother
that should be enough boy
he’s picking up a white dress
proper clean to impress
he wants a golden trophy
he wants that prize to be me
but i’m not so right
to be that wife
i can’t stand your values
or the words that you use
& you love it & you hate it
he wants a fortified love
the status’s between us
he likes the sweet reminder
that i could never be her
but i’m more than that
your figured stat
i’m so much more
so out the door
& you love it & you hate it
oh in the horizon i saw mystical creatures
making love on a bench with all them mystical features
it was so fun to see
but then i hit my head & i came back to earth
& now i can’t seem to find that love i need the most
& that’s so sad for me
oh
you love me
he wants to break the bad horse
with discipline and bad force

you crashed right through my window
into this thing we’re living in
i only know what i know
if you give me a shot
i’ll try
you pack your broken heart up
you always know just what i like
& i swear, i swear, i swear
you were telling me goodbye
& i know, i know, i know
i know you so well
you just weren’t right
i know you so well
it just wasn’t right
don’t say you’re leaving early
before we even start the game
i only know what i’m told
i wish you knew you mean a lot
just try
i’ll sing my broken lungs out
you always know just what i like
& i swear, i swear, i swear
you were telling me goodbye
& i know, i know, i know
i know you so well
it just wasn’t right
i know you so well
you just weren’t right
i swear, i swear, i swear
