Viajero

You had a dream that you were in Mexico,
Two days later, you were climbing the pyramids
You came back from Santiago with a suntan,
did a few days labor, then you’d disappear again
You don’t do no selfie-taking,
Not with Danny, Vinnie, James, or Miss Bliss
I tried to sneak a peek into your secret garden once,
you gave me a Glasgow kiss
Viajero, viajero
Let me know when you’re gonna go
Let me know when you go again
Viajero, viajero
Let me know when you’re gonna go
Tell me when you’re gonna go
You spent eight months alone in the mountains of Vermont
just you and a Dalmatian named Domino
Now there’s a bunny and a hedgehog,
and a dragon around the fire,
telling tales about a man named Tio.
I heard your funky blues guitar before I ever even saw you
It was my 1st night ever in London
You were laughing like a loon, as you leapt into the room
You looked me right into the eye & said “Where you from?”
Then we played Barcelona on New Year’s Eve
Like getting catapulted into the stratosphere
Now some say you’re in Ghana or even in Cleveland
or smoking a hookah in Al Kahira

Rogue Agent, Too
02:59

She's the bounty hunter who's hot on my trail
The rogue agent that's been sent to seduce me
She's the one who really knows how it feels
Somehow I've convinced myself to let her use me
She said, "We're gonna wanna trust one another,
no matter what,
Because there ain't no going back
once the trap snaps shut"
She's a rogue agent
Been trying to divine what's her angle
I'm dying to tell her
I'm a rogue agent too
Is my smartphone trying to spy on me?
Is there really no way to get out of this maze?
I stopped believing in reality,
but it just won't seem to go away
She said "We better stick together from here on in"
Could she could be so empathic,
Or have I just met a replicant?
Rogue Agent,
Now I finally know what's your angle
I'm ready to show you
I'm a rogue agent too

21st Century Paleo Man

I’m a 21st century paleo man
Could you learn to love me, just the way I am?
Stone age, I got friends who are highly evolved
I don’t want to dwell on bad news,
But I’m not designed for modern life with you
Things just ain’t the same as they used to was…
I notice loud explosions,
I Iike food and sex,
I just tweet without thinking about the consequence
Don’t want nothing,
I just need instagrammification
I’m a 21st century paleo man
Could you learn to love me, just the way I am?
21st century paleo man,
And I’m learning to love the way I am
Stone age, I got friends who are highly evolved
Yeah I’m stone age, I got friends who are highly evolved
I’m stone age, I got friends who are highly evolved

What A Relief
04:14

There ain't a person on earth who can truly be certain
About everywhere you've been,
Not a soul can say for sure
When you'll be coming back around again
When you're in town, life starts to feel like a special event
I know you just want to chill,
But everyone wants you to spill,
About all the places you've been
Ohh what a...
What a relief to see you
What a relief to see you again, my friend.
Every direction I turn,
This planet just keeps burning hotter and hotter
But you come cool me down,
You bring water
You make it look easy to be so hard to find
But as soon as you're gone,
It seems that you're on everybody's mind

Paradox Lust
03:25
|
|||
|
I've been training since I was a boy
To avoid all my favorite poisons
But the way you share with us is so generous
That I just can't seem to resist
You got me feeling paradox lust
Feels like the unknown
Is the only friend that we can trust
Is life becoming humdrum?
I think I preferred it when it was a conundrum
Is that your real persona,
Or just someone that you run from?
Does everything that brings us pleasure
End up causing someone pain?
Do you see a light at the end of the tunnel
Or is that an oncoming train?
You got me feeling paradox lust
Feels like the unknown
Is the only friend that we can trust
Yeah, you've got me feeling paradox lust
Feels like the unknown
Is the only friend that we can trust

You ask me who I'm gonna believe,
"Me or your lying eyes"?
No time to stop and even wonder,
"Which of these thoughts are even mine"?
You're dizzy, dancing in your toe socks,
to a tune that nobody else can hear
You wanna help me get the news from both ears,
and finally face all of my fears
Good Intentions... Bad Ideas
Good Intentions... Bad Ideas
Are we disappearing through the skylight?
Or just falling down a rabbit hole?
Are we in the crosshairs of the software?
Is this where the rubber meets the road?
Can we move beyond the panic?
We get all fired up, but it don't burn clean
Oooh, your villainy is so innocent
when you slip on your favorite jeans
You're the bee stuck in my bonnet,
I can't get you out of my craw
Fooling myself that I don't want it,
Until I want it more and more
Good Intentions... Bad Ideas
Good Intentions... Bad Ideas
Good Intentions... Bad Ideas
Good Intentions... Bad Ideas

The Space In Between
03:57
|
|||
|
I've been trying so hard to just stop trying
Turns out you can't force someone to relax
Stepping out on the tiles with you is all I want to do
But somehow I just keep slipping through the cracks
Let's explore the space in between us
We got to find a way to connect
You're everything that I ever imagined
But you're the last thing that I've been expecting
Your lead is the one I'm going to follow
I find myself frequenting all your favorite haunts
The worst thing they could ever say about you
is that you're always going to get what you want

Four Letter Word
06:02
|
|||
|
I thought I could be your new familiar
But it just seems you keep getting stranger
You want to keep a foot in both worlds
Like beauty holding hands with danger
Your air of mystery has become a fog
You wrap me up in your cloak of influence
I thought we could make such beautiful music
But I just got played like your favorite instrument
Time is a four letter word
Can we move the dials
Find the secret chord?
Have I been listening carefully enough to be able to hear the unsaid?
Or will some other silver tongue just come
and hunt me down instead?
(Chorus)
Time is a four letter word
We can move these dials,
Find the secret chord
