Magnet Bar 03:44
Magnet Bar across the lake Must be the approachable rate of The grain of salt that you take From anyone who told you about this place Who told you about this place You don’t like what I say But to be honest with you i’m not the weird one You’re always giving me shit Not to be a dick but you got nothing to stick two And after making up names You’ve had about a hundred and i’ve had about three And after all of my change Is spinnin’ down the tube well I guess that’s what it’s four Fill the bar across the lake Coming up on the morning of the day I turn grown up enough to take their advice And tell you about this place And tell you about this place It’s a warm dark it’s a false alarm It’s the afterward scratch from a shouting scar Calling back making up or speaking easy enough To draw your metal mouth to a Magnet Bar

Thanker 03:58
You were never there So now you know the truth I’m picking up your hair And giving it back to you Like anyone with arms For picking up would do For anyone with hair It’s been an afternoon You never lost your mind As bad as you did When I was on your mind You shelter through the door And fade on into the back Thought i’d seen you before Where the heck was that? And this is how it felt wherever it was Though i had something else That I was thinking of I never lost my mind As bad as you did When I was on your mind for As long as I was And you were losing nights Of sleep in your bed While i was breaking fights up Underneath your head You went walking away And look your Good ol’ Lightning escaped And from here There you are unstopping With everyone And here i am Thanking away at you again There you are unstopping With everyone And here i am Undropping it so you know what you’ve done

Was hovering over the keg like why Do i need another one every time I pass through here So many school years Over in two beers And now the talk I had with Len was getting on But I can’t fake a mood like she can So instead of milking it I walked out of the room and sped directly into you But I had actually nothing to say So I said… Now I was looking at Captain White Probably talking shit about me on the far side With Paul he used to be The old school-drunk Captain of the other team Went over to speak my mind But then one of them broke and it was totally fine so Instead of mulling it over I Just took a picture with the other guy Cuz I had actually nothing to say So I said… I had actually nothing to say So I said...

Stevie lead the march on time apart, From all your lonely loner friends, And the signals they send, Hey man where ya been? Aw, that’s really somethin’ Thanks, I can sell it to myself And I don’t meet my ends So why the hell on earth do you leave it up to me? How’d I do? You did this thing, you leave the room What are you on about? I must’ve tuned it out Hey that’s just what I mean, You shut me out for being keen Thanks, I can sell it to myself And I don’t meet my ends So why the hell on earth do you leave it up to me? If it was up to me, If it was up to me, it wouldn’t be up to me

I found my place among the earth and I lost it Thought it was all that I’d need Was on a radio station in Boston And they spread the disease But you didn’t see me when I came around Either you weren’t looking or lost by the sound of it But I am still awake I guess And I’ll be that way until I go to bed I’m finding out all the days we went missing Weren’t obtainable If we make enough to get out of this city And become the talk of the world Then you would still see me outside in the raid I would bury us quickly and wash off the paint Cuz I am still awake I guess And I’ll be that way until I go to bed I am still awake I guess And I’ll be that way until I go to bed
