Polska 02:04
He tells a story about talking with his fist It’s just so boring but these kids seem into it You don’t excite me and Alexader ain’t all that Great I just say “take this” ‘cause your talk is oh so straight. All they do is take it lightly A good night (it ain’t likely) She’s leaving from the party she getting up at 8 I float inside and find another date Lifeless smoke and Chopin vodka My dear you know I told ya My dear you know that I told ya This night is like Christmas in Polska All they do is take it lightly A good night it ain’t likely It’s Christmas in Polska (My dear) It’s Christmas in Polska (My dear) It’s Christmas in Polska (My dear) It’s Christmas in Polska

My old man’s Dying bed It’s a pharmacy that gets me through the day Morphine queens Boardwalk things Coney Island teens I won’t turn back again no more I’ve said this so many times before Knocked out to his back, collapsed by the shore Brooklyn boars, Frankie’s internal war My girlfriend Can’t comprehend Love burns at one end This is all pretend Neon dreams Gym routines Lonely and 19 My only gripe, she tells me all the time I won’t turn back again no more I’ve said this so many times before Knocked out to his back, collapsed by the shore Brooklyn boars, Frankie’s internal war

Walked down, stumbling at the city centre Alone in the street Walked down, tried to find my bus home Alone, got beaten to shit on the road But I feel alright Woke up, all my things are gone now My phone and I.D Somehow I managed to find my way home What the fuck happened to me But I feel alright You can't get The love expected When you're talking Shit to fools You won't get The love you wanted When your pills are now coming down Oh ohhh

Ocean Waif 03:06
You washed up on the sand Onto a beach with a bitter man You were worked and stripped of sanity A lack of light in captivity You washed up on the sand Onto a beach with no plan Through the dark your ashen face Never quite found its place You’re the Ocean Waif The Ocean Waif The girl’s not safe She’s the Ocean Waif The Ocean Waif The Ocean Waif Oh Yeah And henceforth you broke the locks Ran away escaped the docks Found a home of a novelist In short time you did untwist You’re the Ocean Waif The Ocean Waif The girl’s not safe She’s the Ocean Waif The Ocean Waif The Ocean Waif Oh Yeah Ocean Waif The Ocean Waif The girl’s not safe She’s the Ocean Waif The Ocean Waif The Ocean Waif Oh Yeah From the sand From the sand From the sand From the sand From the sand From the sand From the sand

Honey You're such a pretty fool You take me for a tool I know where you’ve been You’ve been seeing other men Lover I ain’t playin’ coy Get off with all your toys Fucker I’m not giving in anymore Go home cry to your whore Oh yes I’ve seen you Way up in your loft babe Uptown with another man With another man So what? I’m not giving any more I’m not giving any more I’m not giving any more I’m not giving any more I’m not giving any more I’m not giving any more I’m not giving any more (Oh Pretty Darlings) I’m not giving any more (Oh Pretty Darlings)

If you love a girl who writes You will live her lives surprised You have yet to find her The words are disguised Hold her pen ink stained hand Try to understand The pens that stained her past The day when you will lose her too So far but could be soon After all you are After all You are the painter After all You are the painter After all After all After all After all I don’t care But I dont think she even cares at all

Molly and Me 04:46
Broken in three, Molly and me Through this I see this life ain’t what it seems Oh what a lie, I won’t miss you all the time Truly sublime, without her I feel fine And after all we broke off My infatuation fell apart Oh the boys out in the street drinking till they couldn’t speak Shadow boys the distant noise Mindless playing coy I’ll tell you once I’ll tell you three Can’t you tell me what it is you see? Magic days manipulate again Too many friends so fake and just pretend Last night I was so full of glee But once again it’s just Molly and me And after all we broke off Infatuation stole my heart All the boys out in the street drinking till they couldn’t speak Shadow boys the distant noise Mindless playing coy I’ll tell you once I’ll tell you three Can’t you tell me what it is you see? We was the boys we roamed the street Drinking till we couldn’t speak Following the only thing we see Mindless aimlessly I’ve said it once I’ll say it three You can tell me You can tell me
