Mixed signals have me turned around In the middle of a town mistaken With mixed signals from everyone I meet Am I offbeat? Now mixed signals are telling me to stay But yesterday they said go away I try to say it right but when I turn around Mixed signals were falling out of my mouth I hear myself not saying a thing Use your words carefully When you’re talking backward turn it around People hate people they don’t even know People hate people Show me your worth. Is it worth my time? What’s the good in that? Sending mixed signals that you can’t take back You and I playing for the same team Mixed signals the American dream We let it get too far No going back now Words are trap doors watch your step When you’re talking backwards turn it around

Am I a god living on the second floor? Nobody can see me walk through the living room naked Far from you, I keep my thoughts in a separate room Where I'm oscillating outcomes A meta-modern petting zoo Lonely looking on Everything a puzzle you can solve No one’s right when no one’s wrong The only moon I ever knew rolled away in her sarong I yelled down a down a black hole they said she’s down in Mexico When the timing is right for an awkward appetite You should take a bite Don’t you feel odd when you’re scared of what you want? Contemplating for several months. What a weary mind we’ve made It’s cognitively exhausting thinking all day

I worry about simple things That I can't change Will I wake up to rain or a nuclear parade? Who's going to win the basketball game? I'm no hurry to say what's right I wake up to a man that I love I'll be sleeping with a different man tonight Will the Earth end before I do? If it does I hope I loved you Make it quick like a cold swimming pool I’m jumping in with you Emotions in my mind Taking their time to be with me Gathered in my eyes like kerosene Covering me Trouble, I don't want to trouble you If I should ever cross you I hope that we can sit down and talk it through Let’s not wait too long To walk against the wind, move on Emotions in my mind Taking their time they're just teasing me Hear the choir on Sunday morning Or a siren. Tornado’s coming

Why Now? 03:47
I fell down hard on my knees You called me crybaby Told everyone what you’d seen I was embarrassed for weeks When it was my turn to read Most words were stuttering There are still times I can’t talk the way I want I remember sitting in the corner hoping that you don’t never look over at me Now you’re not above me You pick me up when you hug me You say I’m not so ugly Right Now I’m going out out on a date and I’m feeling good about the conversation Hey, I’m doing it right. What a lovely night You said you’d let me know when you have free time You’d like to do this again It’s been three weeks now You walked past me uptown But now you call me baby Texting me daily You want to do dinner this Thursday Why now? You said we always have fun and that I made you feel young I don’t know where this is coming from

Jeanny 03:13
I had my fun it’s time to leave All of my tricks fell out of my sleeves I used to be more interesting Now I’m a cat too fat to chase a string I still dance with Anne on Friday nights Do the same moves I do every time I am trying to unwind but there’s too many people in here tonight Where I stand someone once stood And after me another should Be better than I was I don’t consider it wasted time watching movies that don’t rate that high Or a fishing trip that ended dry You never know what you never tried Keeping up with the latest trends as strenuous as a distant friend Makes me feel uncomfortable like half-time at the Superbowl But true genius never dies She just lives unrealized Thoughts fade away eventually What else can you do at the end of your life Except say it went alright I hope to have one thing That can keep me smiling Takes the weight right off my feet Do you think you could carry me? How you lived and how you loved lasts longer than your body does

Little Yadkin lives alone North of Donnaha Dusty naps on river’s bed She’s running late again Momma when the fighting is through Will I be as strong as you The morning’s ending soon and everything feels loose Little Yadkin lives Alone Playing his unfinished song

Julie Lisa 05:13
Julie all alone sittin' by herself Don’t feel bad for Julie 'cause Julie don’t feel bad for herself She bought me a drink talked me up like I was a champ Then we were making out in her boyfriends car where I became the other man Lisa Lisa Lisa lies and so do I She says things so sweet at night when she’s home alone and she gets high I’ll see her in the day time and she treats me like an average guy Lisa lies Lisa lies. So do I I think it’s fine. I really think it’s alright When you’re feeling stuck and you want someone to listen to you shout. We can hang out Zelda sends me postcards from Amish towns On the backs of them are poetry of a new life that she has found to be good I hear the horses in her words as I picture her in a long black skirt I think it's beautiful that she's minimal but to me it feels impractical I think it's great She isn’t staying up so late I wish I could do that too but I'm my mother's son and this is what my mother's sons do Are we together because we're alone If it’s true I'm glad about it You work with what you got Luckily, you and me, we got a lot
