this song tanks any album it's a part of. i love it, but it seems to be cursed. it sabotages every project it's on, so i should have known my mixes would get ruined by a freaking magnet by including it. it's about hoarding. enjoy!

lyrics

girl you know my smile's broke
my whole life is one bad joke
and i've never heard
the punchline

sitting on a wall my father built
thinking of my grandma's geisha quilt
and the graves of all
her canines

something's in the water i can tell
sipping on uranium from our well
and the moon she's on
a bad rise

the cat pissed on our dinner table
the gnats drank all the wine
they live their lives through basic cable
so we'll wake up after nine

don't like milke i don't like coke
whenever i run i almost croak
and my calves are not
well defined

driving to the beach to shake the funk
thinking of my grandpas dirty drunk
and the tolls along
the coastline

the cat pissed on our dinner table
the gnats drank all the wine
they live their lives through basic cable
so we'll wake up after nine
