I’m a rocket into the blue
I don’t want to think about today
I am me but I am new
And ready to believe that it’s ok
But these things won’t make me happy
These things they won’t fix you
Things keep coming at me
And it’s you they’re after, too
Like the waves that reach for the clouds
Aren’t we all just trying to claim our way
And if happiness has a cost
Tell me what consensus says we’ll pay
If these things won’t make us happy
If these things won’t tell the truth
If these things keep coming at me
And these things they want you, too
It’s a carousel in a cage
That we should all be trying to escape
It’s an illusion up on a stage
Defining by an ever changing shape
Cause these things won’t make us happy
These things they won’t stay new
These things keep coming at me
And it’s you they’re after, too

Will you send me
Send me gently
To the harvest I will go
I will gather
Shells and tokens
I'll preserve them
You'll be nourished
By my bounty
Husk and silver, tender green
Jars of good will
Full and gleaming
Shine behind me
When the rains come
I'll be ready
Brooms and buckets swords and shields
Green and silver
Red and goldrod
Loaves and species at our feet

Somebody stop me from all this online shopping
I’m tired, but I cannot close my eyes
It’s like I’m dreaming, but also like I’m screaming inside.
Screaming buy, buy, buy!
Three dollars, fifty...Look at me being thrifty!
It’s been a while since I treated myself right.
Oh no! I’m broke!
How funny! Looks like I spent my money again!
On things that I bought! On things that I want!
Everything that I got on Amazon
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 things in my cart all Amazon Prime!
No waiting in line!
Buy, buy, buy!

I’ve got money in an offshore bank account
Just lying there in an undignified amount
If you want, I could take you there
Get some cheap sunglasses and cut your hair
I’ve got to my keep my cool
Out by my pool
Cuz I’m no fool, I’m lean
You know that I’m mean
I’m a middle-management, money-making machine
Merciless master
Millstone supreme
Mountainous money
My monument dream
Upon this island paradise
It’s a brand new life
So take my advice -- it’s free
If you were me
I would hide all of my money in a hollowed out palm tree

When I turned the corner to see Tim Heidecker I was surprised I did not hover like a ghost and that he kept remembering me
But I thought, “maybe if he knew me he would not think that he saw through me”
Sometimes in solitude I think of the revenue behind the art and what gets one set out to do and who still believes in it
Do they think, “maybe if you knew me you would not think that you see through me”

When I called Kate to tell her
That I wanted to cancel our sealing
We’d been divorced for 10 months
But I still did not feel free
She said, “I thought we’d always be connected”
I said the thought was not appealing
Because every time I heard her voice
It echoed with words that she said to me
She told me our marriage made her feel trapped
That she cheated on me with guy she met on LinkedIn
That she wanted to be single, that she loved me like a brother
That she did not find me attractive
We split our money in half, she took all of our stuff
And I bought some new clothes
She couldn’t hold down a job
So I’m stuck with 20 thousand in student loans
She spent the summer with friends, she dated new guys
While I wrote songs I hate
They didn’t say anything at all because what if we got back together?
She stayed in my apartment with me while she tried
To find a new place in the south bay to live
I’d fall asleep, she’d come home late, she’d sleep in my bed
That still feels fucked up
And I still have a loan to pay
A bank account in both our names
Things I bought to soothe the pain
And the pain itself

Fresh coat and slowly running down
To make a change and to never work it out
And I know you made high school so good to me
It’s only right you’re breaking down
Breaking down
Pulling back I’m not out of gas
Pedal to the floor and she’s not giving
back
I’ve had you ever since I became a man
No promises I’ll bring you back
You’re a money bag, baby
Money bag, baby
A Money bag, baby
I didn’t think there’d be last
Last ride with you, it’s different now

I’ve got money but not for long
spending my money on a brand new song
I had money but now it’s all gone
gotta get more money
I’ve got money but not that much
just enough money for the two of us
you don’t need money if you’ve got love
yeah I got you honey
If I had more money I would spend it all
til I’m black and bloody at the shopping mall
I gotta get more money
When I make money it makes me mean
well they say money buys everything
But why waste money when that just means
you gotta make more money
I’ve got money but not that much
just enough money for the two of us
you don’t need money if you’ve got love
yeah I got you honey
If I had more money I would spend it all
til I’m black and bloody at the shopping mall
I gotta get more money
