Odd Girl 03:35
Don’t know what it will take to sleep What to say when you can say nothing It was a classic rookie mistake Try to keep it shut but can’t stop talking Listen to the radio at night Your old Zenith mono with blue-green lights A pull-out couch no longer exists Stare at the ceiling, that's all there is Chorus: What you say, so cliché Do you want to betray? What you need, what you don't Odd girl won't be alone You used to need his shirt to sleep Bring you the jellyfish lost at sea You were in love in a four-poster bed Just a little while before he left No you’re not what you really think Just as confused as anyone you meet Afraid of losing all control Afraid of doing this till you’re old
2.
Your favorite show bores him The way he sings annoys you Don’t you know what’s good? You seem to have your doubts Chorus: Oooh, gotta leave your man Oooh, gotta leave your man Oooh, gotta leave him, leave your man He’s working on a weekend Drinks himself to a stupor You have to take care of him Pay the cab ride home You’re catching crumbs he drops He leads you through a vacuum Are you sure you don't notice? You seem to have your doubts A rough framework to live by Count your socks before sleeping Alarm clock rings from slumber Another week will pass along Don’t you want someone who Really gets inside your head? Not a safe house to rest in Not an easy way out
3.
Lightning Liz gets no respect They say her clothes are suspect Those boys can’t help themselves Their self-control is for shit Chorus: Lightning Liz, drive as fast as you want The boys can pump their own brakes Lightning Liz, drive as fast as you want You’ll get over your heartache Lightning Liz, drive as fast as you want The boys can pump their own brakes Yoga pants don’t ask for it Just walk, look, and drive like an ace You don’t have to hide your shape Girl haters don’t have to hate Run your Corvette hard if you want The world’s outside for you Speak first, and don't apologize You've got nothing to hide
4.
Sometimes I’m not sure What might walk out on me Standing at the curb Wondering where to be Chorus: I change into a shape Hover and float away There is no escape I take my new shape I take my new shape Some days you want to be alone Pack early for the train I wouldn’t look any better In the movie version of this I have a book of mistakes Not a dream of a place I won’t believe in sin The snake slips its skin
5.
Crime gets in through windows New houses have no screens What you type I have to read Pictures of cats and emoji What you type I have to read Try to find your posts threatening Know all your thoughts about bling And your pictures of cats and emoji Chorus: Don’t you know the true color of eyes? Don’t you fear the life of a spy Know just enough to be dangerous You don't have to be worried Painted-shut air you breathe Workaday day communist gray One umbrella over the city No more Russians on the train Your location is no mystery You have given yourself away With your pictures of cats and emoji Can you hope, can you sleep? Will I choke, do you think?

Thing One 03:42
You only fly by when it's dark You only know my name at the start You haven't come by in twelve days I have to stop counting on the haze Chorus: I know what I have to do It's not me, it's you! Thing one, thing two Tang orange world is outside Another hyperorange sunrise It colors in the windows alive It wakes me up at 5:45 I am driving to you at night The streets are glossy-photo bright I know you are certainly not right You are getting a little too close to trite
7.
If you hope, the sun will come If you hope, the future's bright If you hope that we're not screwed If you hope, we'll be alright You know you wanna say it You know you can't escape it Chorus: I’m gonna say what you’re thinking I’m gonna say what you’re thinking Do what you want, say what you will I might agree, but I’ll never tell The lords of greed will all consume I know I know you know this dainty monster, too
8.
Cold 03:43
Why you leave, why you stay Don't say what you lack Wasting time is fun for days They won't be coming back Ride the waves carefully Don't get knocked about Pick your fights especially Your friends can do without Chorus: I don’t know, I don’t know what you want I’m not a cold-hearted kind of savant Don't walk by where he works He won't understand Last night was a big mistake No one had your back Pick you up at five to eight We don't make amends You make me wait you stay too late I wonder why we're friends Your coat can’t make you warm Your hat can’t make you cool You can have the weakest charm You always play the fool If you want to see the sights Climb up to the front seat He's working at a local shop No place you want to eat
9.
Consolidate 02:21
Four more weeks to flawless skin Just try this simple trick You're only using me for texts Chorus: Time to consolidate Your loss, my gain White pleather furniture This hose will never kink That sex was completely adequate Your cat purrs on my lap Eat your way to lower stress Remove years of wax Find your true secret romance Do this when a gun’s at your head Get all your hair back What’s that, I didn’t hear what you said When your house is underwater Build strength and muscle mass
10.
I may have made a minor mistake The asteroid has a little moon A cold memory it can’t shake Happiness is complicated, too The asteroid has a little moon A tiny rock stuck in my shoe Like insects thick in summers through Happiness is complicated, too Chorus: Nothing is impossible Nothing is ever gray I’m not good, I’m just better No matter how far I stray I always wanted to be popular Always wanted to be true Never thought I’d miss the mark Happiness is complicated, too Always thought there’d be more stars Never beat her at her game Another thing that might be true Happiness is complicated too You walk to the water You can’t take what you dish out You know you have to keep moving Or imagine how you’d drown Can’t be of a certain age Can’t be in a certain town No one will recognize you Happiness is complicated, too
