Manic Pixie Dream Boy

Leopard jacket with just one shoe
Because I just forgot
I've known since I was so young
I'd always be a thot
So don't you judge too harshly
If you don't like how I'm dressed
This planet needs some new style
You lemons need some zest
To all those sideways glances
Quit harshing me!
'cause I'm a manic pixie dream boy
Trying to live authentically
A Canadian with depression
I call that red, white, and blue
DSM meets DXM
Hello! How are you?
So baby wear my zoot suit
And I'll wear your velvet dress
And we'll walk down to the Horseshoe
To befriend Orville Peck
(chorus)
I sent you that Emily Blue song*
'cause today everything went wrong
Rejected by Pop Montreal
And there won't be another show till fall
And they have closed the Cagibi
All because the landlord is a (REDACTED)
(chorus)

Elation
03:30
|

|
I showed you a song
Didn't learn my part
And you didn't care
I shrugged it off as art
I showed you my eyes
And how they got so red
Your blank pupils stare
Because you just don't care
How was I to know that you were miserable?
My elation won't save me
But for now it's alright
I showed you a song
But I lost the words
And you didn't care
You clapped in your chair
I showed you a street
I tried to fill with ghosts
But forgot their names
As your interest waned
How was I to know that you were miserable?
My elation won't save me
But for now it's alright
I don't want to go to my grave feeling like a half truth
I don't want to spend my life confessing to the wind
I have spent these twenty five years feeling like a burden
I don't want to spend another carrying someone else's sins

Godx

Stop right now
I've got to show you how
And if you don't know
You're gonna find out now
We're going in circles
They're taking us down
They don't have the wisdom
The wisdom we've found
Look inside
And tell me what you see
Are there two souls
Inside of you, like me?
'Cuz I can't resist you
The way that you dance
The lines on your face
Are pure elegance
Godx, Bodice of gold and Onyx
808's Ultrasonic, G-O-D-X Iconic
Shit I'm hooked on phonics!
Once upon a time people knew what was up
Till the false prophet came and covered it up
Now the real Gods are moving from the shadows to the light
And the sun is shining after decades of night
On a big boat with nothing like a life raft
In the garden with deadly snakes that bite you
You won't be safe if you do it yourself
We all need a friend or someone to help
x2
Get down, the Godx has a plan
And if you don't know, you'll find out in the end
The Godx is with you when you sing this song
So worship by dancing and singing along
x2
Do unto others as you would have them do all night
Cherish every moment that the Godx brightens with their light
x2
Get down, the Godx has a plan
And if you don't know, you'll find out in the end
The Godx is with you when you sing this song
So worship by dancing and singing along
x2

You're such an artist girl
It's like I'm dreaming
I will love you girl
As long as we are breathing
Got lots of personality
It's like you're famous
It's what you did to me and my heart makes me say this
You're Frida
But I'm no Diego
Oh I love you
And I just got to know
Have you had enough of me?
('Cuz I can't get enough of you)
And you're not regretting cuffing me?
('Cuz I can't get enough of you)
Now that you are stuck with me
('Cuz I can't get enough of you)
('Cuz I can't get enough of you)
Baby, baby, baby
You are driving me a little crazy
Heart is pounding
Knees are weak
And memory's a little hazy
But I cannot lie
My heart I can't deny
You're the apple of my eye
So let's get baked
Apple pie
You're Frida
But I'm no Diego
We're stuck inside
But I don't wanna go
('Cuz I can't get enough of you)
Have you had enough of me?
('Cuz I can't get enough of you)
And you're not regretting cuffing me?
('Cuz I can't get enough of you)
Now that you are stuck with me
('Cuz I can't get enough of you)

On The Downlow
04:08
|

|
They knew if from the get-go
They'd keep it on the downlow
Don't you be so emo
I thought this was your dream-oh!
We'll keep it from our parents
We'll say we're running errands
Or playing call of duty
For each call of booty
They're getting their degrees now
They know their ABC's now
Jamie says "Okay now"
"I think we can reveal we're gay now"
Paulie says "I'm sorry"
"I'm gonna be a Tory"
"I need my reputation,
We can still meet on vacation"
They're turning into birds now
The Tory eats his words now
They realized they were in love
And each became a rock dove
They're flying to Miami
Where birds can start a family
It's safer in the city
And all the pigeon boys are pretty

The Wind Won't Blow You Back
Just a kid making so much noise
Ghosts in ether with the trembling voice
Do you see it in your dreams?
Been a blip in the basement scene
Held by hostile reality
Every time I see you, you're leaving
I know it's quite a fate
(The wind won't blow you back)
You showed your love with hate
(The wind won't blow you back)
And no one took your bait
(The wind won't blow you back)
You vanished with no trace
(The wind won't blow you back)

Apocalypse Girls
04:11
|
|||
|
Apocalypse girls fly close to the sun
They don't dance, they don't talk
They just look like fun
Apocalypse girls sing sweet to no one
They don't have a future but the past is almost undone
Apocalypse boys with looks that could stun
They don't dance, they don't talk
They just look like fun
Apocalypse boys
With eyes for no one
Just a light in your eyes
Slides by under your thumb
I heard that you've been feeling down
Straight from a stranger's lips
So powder your nose, pad your hips
'Cuz it's the apocalypse
I love it when you dress as clowns
I love it when your chorus hits
So powder your nose, pad your hips
It's the apocalypse

I can't drive when I'm with you
I just see rainbows and skies of blue
I can't cook cuz everything tastes like honey
I can't save I wanna spend all my money!
I can't dance 'cuz I can't feel my extremities
I can't plan 'cuz I can't foresee calamities
I love you so much I'm useless with you
And I wanted to tell you how I really feel
Instead I made up these lies that aren't even real
Oh baby I'd be useless without you
I can't sleep 'cuz I'm thinking of you
Can't wake up 'cuz I'm dreaming of you
Can't drum 'cuz your kisses so sweet
I think of you and I just lose the beat
Can't go to life drawing, I'm afraid it's cheating
Can't sing over the sound of my heart beating
I love you so much I'm useless with you
And I wanted to write a love song about you
Instead I made up these lies that aren't even true
Oh baby, I'd be useless without you

I'm sorry if I was misleading
I just can't stand the thought of being
Chewed out by strangers
Heart screams danger
It's okay if we're disagreeing
But take that tone and I'll be fleeing
Man we're too old
I'll leave you cold
I keep tabs on all my debt
I don't recall owing you shit
Off the table
I'm not able
(If this doesn't get me a Polaris prize… then I don't know what will!)
I look cute, but I am not your dolly
You play pretend, but I'm not into folly
Not so clever
Bye forever

Trigger Fingers
03:07
|

|
We are all waiting on
Somebody to do something wrong
Those typing fingers tapping like
Trigger fingers twitching
It's in the name of social good
We'll burn down the neighbourhood
Putting up posters with
The vaguest accusations
Send screenshots of your statuses
To your confused relations
You're gonna learn, you stupid kid
What it's like to keep your feelings hid
Try just a little bit harder but they'll always
Find some grain of truth to sell you down the line
You can't get blood from a stone
If you leave well enough alone
So scour with a fine-toothed comb
For reasons why she must atone
It's not a real apology
If you don't paypal me
Try just a little bit harder but they'll always
Find some grain of truth to sell you down the line

Let's Get Conservative

Let's get conservative
Atlas Shrugged is so informative
I will never tax, nor spend
I know where the Road To Serfdom ends
A brotherhood of men
With logic on our side
All of us are full of facts
All of you are full of lies
Let's get conservative
Tired of being Mr. Live and Let Live
Privatize the CBC
'cuz those communists won't play me
Tried to change the world
I got nothing but hate
The only thing that's on my side
Is the family estate
(Change my mind)
Education's how we thrive
(Change my mind)
If it's not your job I guess it's mine

Montreal/Outro
04:44
|

|
Oh Montreal! You've turned me to a thief
Oh Montreal! You wouldn't believe
How I stayed up at night
How I've cursed your skies
Oh Montreal! Betrayed by hippies
Oh I'm so shy, they called the police
Firelight in my eyes
A phoenix that won't rise
Yeah I feel okay
Or at least alright
Listening to of Montreal
Stuck in fight or flight
You see me by day
But never in the night
I just want to disappear but I want the limelight
Yeah I feel okay
Or at least alright
Pretending we're of Montreal
Every single night
(I don't know any big words…)
(You faker!)
You see me by day
But never in the night
I just want to disappear but I want the limelight
