This cage it's bound to break
The corporate monster waits, whoa-oh
This high-rise city-state
I would not advocate whoa-oh
I'm just a featherweight
Looking to elevate, whoa-oh-oh
Tommy Korporate
Got superbowl dreams
Tommy Korporate
rockin ponzi schemes
Tommy Korporate
Nothing comes between
Tommy Korporate and me
Diploma in my hand
And one foot still on land whoa-oh
All of my questions banned
and all their answers canned whoa-oh
so long to my kickstand
cue the adrenal gland whoa-oh-oh
Tommy Korporate
Got superbowl dreams
Tommy Korporate
rockin ponzi schemes
Tommy Korporate
Nothing comes between
Tommy Korporate and me

Hot Dogs on the Grill

I'm flawless I'm a newborn
and i'm sick of standing still
Just rollin' with my top down
Like a hot dog on the grill
Here in my euphoria
Where i'm one with the trees
I saved a spot here for ya
You don't even have to say please
But if I see you tonight
From under this moonlight
would you try to make things right...away?
I'm fearless I'm a hunter
And I'm ready for the kill
Just burning in the sunlight
Like a hot dog on the grill
first you say I'm rugged
then you say I'm smooth
well I just say you're crazy
but I don't have a clue
But if I see you tonight
From under this moonlight
Would you try to make things right?
Or hop on the next flight?
If I sing you to sleep
would you kiss me goodnight
Or would you just close your eyes...and wait
I'm gutless I'm a human
and I'm sick of my free will
Just waiting to be swallowed
Like a hot dog on the grill
well now you're crying for me
and I don't know what to say
the sun will be up next year
and baby we’ll go play

Falling Back Asleep

Closing the curtains, keep the shadows out
Never before have I been this in doubt
She's got the disease and I'm down on my knees
and I'm hoping to God and begging him please
Never before has she looked so worn out
and she's falling back asleep...again
and she's falling back asleep
She's telling me the pain's in the waiting
She's calling me but faith's what I'm faking
She's telling me the pain's in the waiting
and she's falling back asleep...again
closing my mind to the possibilities
running out of eventualities
she's got the disease and I'm down on my knees
and I'm hoping to God and I'm begging him please
Never before has she looked so at ease
and she's falling back asleep...again
and she's falling back asleep
She's telling me the pain's in the waiting
She's calling me but faith's what I'm faking
She's telling me the pain's in the waiting
and she's falling back asleep...
she's falling back asleep...again
and she's falling back asleep...again
and she's falling back, falling back again
and she's falling back asleep
She's telling me the pain's in the waiting
She's calling me but faith's what I'm faking
She's telling me the pain's in the waiting
and she's falling back asleep...again

In my last incarnation
I must have been a thief
for the things that I have now
don't belong to me
These gifts I never earned
they were left for me to take
when i woke up in this life
woke up with this face
now they’re gone
I’ll never need ‘em if they’re gone
she's beautifully
vulnerable
as she falls asleep on me
In our new gravity
but this engine won't stop
until it’s put to death
and i can feel it ripping through
the confines of my chest
but it’s gone
I’ll never need it when it’s gone
Gone
You’ll never need me when I’m gone
and I can't help but feel like
vanishing into this
to vanquish all my fears
that prove I exist
Gone - you'll never see me if I’m gone
Gone - You'll never need me when I'm gone
Gone – You’ll never leave me if I’m gone

everything's ablaze
everything is crashing down upon
the dreams I had of seventeen
did I miss a boat?
did I miss the ark of fulfillment?
was i distracted by routine?
OoOoO
it's a marathon
but I'm sucking wind after a mile
my hands are clenching tired knees
but there's nothing wrong
that isn't all in my head
my second wind is just a breeze
my baby
she makes it right
when everything's wrong
my baby
she makes it right
when I make it wrong
and I feel ashamed
when I start thinking like nothing's
going like I planned
because nothing's planned
and my own sense of direction
can't move me from where I stand
OoOoO
my baby…she makes it right
when everything's wrong
my baby…she makes it right
when I make it wrong
everything's ablaze
everything is crashing around me
but I feel like I'm seventeen
I've got the girl of my dreams
and we're eating ice cream
looking forward to the world unseen
OoOoO
OoOoO
my baby…she makes it right
when everything's wrong
my baby she makes it right
when everything's wrong

Chinatown 2002
took a little trip; i was off from school
on Canal is where he saw me
the look in his eye said, "you better fuckin' buy me"
started as two but now there's one
it's been eleven years and he aint done
hangin' around just him and me-a
he's my man and he's a chelonia
hooked him up with a nice 40 gallon
stayin up late watchin’ jimmy fallon
UV lamp with automatic timer
tank's got a built-in heater!
I got a friend with a whole lotta reason
Met this friend about an hour ago
Ate scuba man and poison puffer
fuck pH …he don't need no buffer
Chase that goldfish round and round
round and round
round and round
He'll bit that motherfucker in half!
Pop his head back in his shell
i won't ask and he won't tell
come back out when he hears me
look me in the eye, said "you better fuckin' feed me"
splashin' around like he's a bad swimmer
but all he wants is his goddamn dinner
splash that water on your shoe
so watcha gonna do about that?...
FOOL!

A muffled click and I’m sleeping on my feet again
Another drink and I slip beneath the city’s skin
Defeated men sit beside me on the subway train
My cell phone rings and my lover sounds so far away
A headache cast and the muscle twitch of Novocain
I go to sleep feeling sober but wake up in pain
On the way home
I can feel it in my bones
I don’t wanna spend tonight all alone
I got some friends but I never see them anymore
I’m losing hold of the people that I do adore
Defeated men sit beside me and I feel at home
My cellphone screams but I much prefer the dial tone
The city comes and the city fades to tunnel black
I’m drunk as hell but I’m never coming back
On the way home
I can feel you in my bones
I don’t wanna spend tonight all alone
On the way home
I can feel you in my bones
I don’t wanna spend tonight all alone

There’s a storm raging somewhere
News is blowing down the street
No heat in my apartment
No fire for my feet
There’s a war raging somewhere
Jack is there and surely armed
We lost touch after high school
Somewhere it all went wrong
Handcuff the world to my spine
Take what you can from this life
We were all innocent at one time
Take what you can from this life
Handcuff the world to my spine
Take what you can from this life
We were all innocent at one time
Take what you can from this life
Take what you can from me
Take what you can from me
Take what you can from this life

I was dreaming when you woke me
Still reeling when you broke me
Read the letter that you wrote me
you didn't sign your name
the next night you were screaming
I dreamt that I was dreaming
But all these scabs just mean I'm healing
but I'll never feel the same
you told me nothing's changed
trying to remember the words to my dreams
voices go through me but faces don’t leave
horizon has faded but so have the seas
you told me nothing’s changed
I was grieving when you slapped me
Just found a book you could throw at me
You said matter-of-factly
You told me nothing’s changed
But I’ll never feel the same
