Lyrics – Pleb Mahogany

The truth it is, we’re hardly sharing thoughts or friends
We bumped heads, now these skulls they won’t mend
We bumped skulls, now these headaches won’t end

There’s many reasons still to try
We could dot the “i”
I buy you a diamond ring

There’s many reasons to end it here
Cause you won’t see me there
Even when you send the thing

I taught myself to play an “A”
On that rainy day
And now I’ve got this song to sing!

No, I won’t
Love you through my phone
I’m not your
Story to tell

The truth it is, we’re hardly sharing thoughts or friends
We bumped heads, now these skulls they won’t mend
We bumped skulls, now these headaches won’t end

Your phone’s ringing!

Milkshake Criteria

They say you’re wasting all this time
And it’s gonna fade away some day

And if it fades away some day
I just want you to be okay

Are you okay?

Cause if you’re wasting all this time
It’s gonna fade away some day

I hope the thing you’re doing is great
I hope that you are doing okay

See you another day!

Every Little Bit Of Life

Every little bit of life only respects where you set it
Have you heard about the metrics lately?
I’m checking on my ethics, baby
I don’t know what’s coming next, but I respect it that death grips
I’ve been lighting up my lantern lately
Thinking about my Aunt’s urn, maybe

A quarter of a century passed by in an instant
I’m sitting in office contemplating my Christmas
There’s a pretty good Shel Silverstein depiction of this thing
I’m not thinking about what’s missing, I just wished that I missed things

All day I’m on computers
Just tryna make a living
One day, I might play Philly
Maybe, uh, next Thanksgiving
Is that what I want?

What I want is to go back teaching music to my kids
What I want is a life where I do not have to live
What I want is my senior year forever in a can
What I want is a drink, you will never understand

I think we all deserve a break
I think we all deserve a bed
But I hate how polished we come off
Cause I know we knew us way back when

I think we all deserve a bed
I think we all should get some sleep

Goodnight

Some say I’ve wasted all this time
And it’s gonna fade away some day
Well, if it fades away some day
I think this time was spent okay

That’s for another day!

Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-ho-o!

Spider Accessories

Hey, I wanna die
I don’t love any person more than tryna turn you on
I have some secrets I don’t tell you when we go to bed
It eats me up I do not tell you what I did last May

That’s sad, living a lie’s sad
I don’t appreciate the time it takes to procreate
I need a hundred dollar bill before I rest my feet
I need a promise you won’t burn it up before I leave

And so

I get around
To graduating
And there’s a hefty bet
on what comes next

And it goes
You’re gonna finish school
I’m gonna do the waiting

I would have loved you later
But I love you now
I love you now
I love you now
I love you now

I know, living in my show
I can’t attempt to even guess at what you’re feeling now
I have to wonder if the choice you made is still correct
I never diss another’s problems, least I haven’t yet

I live good, better than I should
I hear mistakes are part of life, it should appears to be
I used to joke about the artists cutting ears up off
I think the one I lost would hear you call me “wrecking ball”

And so

I lost your number
I would have lost my phone too
There are certain vices that I don’t allow

In the case
Where you still have mine
I could be at your door soon

Because I loved you back then
and I love you now
I love you now
I love you now
I love you now

Hey, I wanna die
I don’t love any person more than tryna turn you on
I have a hundred dollars but that doesn’t make it right
I’ll turn it to a hundred wishes, do you have a light?

Breathe air, please just breathe air
I cannot speak to your beliefs, or what our friend are saying
Do you think wrecking balls are happy when they swing around?
If someone hears a tree, does that mean that it’s fallen down?

Are We Wrong

Not here to ask you for money
Not here to “do the twist”
I don’t think life’s very funny
It takes a flick of the wrist
I’m a sucker for phone calls
I’ve paid for that with my happiness

Are we wrong, are we wrong
Are we wrong, are we wrong
To ask you for money?

Some say that money’s just power
Some say that it’s just a risk
Some say that you have to earn it
I think those people are dicks
I want those people to know just
How hard it is to be asking this

Are we wrong, are we wrong
Are we wrong, are we wrong
To ask you for money?

I don’t think life’s very funny
I’ve got a cramp in my wrist
Kids, I’m not into Bugs Bunny
But I don’t what meme this is

I hope our children will ask us
I hope I find myself asking this

Chili Con Carne

I don’t give a shit about chili con carne
Sitting out in my daddy’s barn
I couldn’t be bothered with plowing the land
Tell my folks and they’ll understand

I don’t give a shit about chili con carne
And smoking herb doesn’t make the man

I don’t give a shit about plowing the land
Couldn’t be assed with a plow in hand
I probably wouldn’t try to run away from the law
I wanna tell them all the shit I saw

I don’t give a shit about chili con carne
And smoking herb doesn’t make the man

I don’t give a shit about running from law
I think it’d be funny seeing them all pissed off
I never even think about driving at night
Cause if I drink, it’s gonna hurt my wife

I don’t give a shit about chili con carne
And smoking herb doesn’t make the man

I don’t give a shit about driving at night
It sure is nice to have
Agency in my fucking life
I wanna start a dialog with all of my friends
To feel more comfortable with other men
There it is

I don’t give a shit about chili con carne
And smoking herb doesn’t make the man

Cecily Strong

I want a man who works all day
6’4″ and cleans up okay
Living Saturday night so long
They call him Cecily Strong
I want a man who plays at night
Cleans up and looks alright
Never does his Saturday wrong
They call him Cecily Strong
Like Cecily Strong

This verse is dedicated to the lonely souls
With a week to get together, gether, gether
And a week to write their show
I know it’s getting messy, messy, messy
And you want to get this right
You can count on Cecily, Cecily, Cecily
To get home by Saturday night

And I know-know it’s a no-no
When I see her sing that solo
She’s a 10/10 and I’m a so-so
Man, I wanna buy her cocobolos
My intention is I meant it
That 10/10 been heaven sent
If I said it, then I said it
I wanna buy her Sunday breakfast
Yo Cecily come out with us
We’ll get you home by 9
Say yes, say haha, say yeah that’s fine
I never, never had this much fun
Since we plugged into that tube-box
We were playing Jethro Tull cause the flute rocks
I don’t think this is a fluke

Guard

My baby you have gotta let me know
I’m trying here, you know I’ve tried so hard
Perhaps I’m not protecting myself
I’m getting anxious that I’ve played my part
I’m just some chip off of your crystal shard
You make me want to call my Roman guard

My baby you have gotta let me know
I’m sure that I have asked this many times
Am I not respecting myself?
I wrote these words and now I sing this lines
I’m getting nervous that I see the signs
I’m gonna sing this one more time

My baby you have gotta let me know
I think of you now when I hear The Strokes
At times I will reflect on myself
I wrote these words and now I hit these notes
I’m getting sad and now I’ve grown this goat
If I see you again, I’m gonna choke

Mountains and Oceans

All Those Things

It’s gorgeous today
And I’m thinking of ways
To get over you and our affair

I don’t even care
About answers and banter
And weight in the air

I don’t even care
About the weight in air
And it’s
All those things
All those things
And da da da, da, da da…

I don’t even care
I don’t even care, though
I don’t even care
I feel fine

Today I am motioning oceans
To crash over places I know
It’s gorgeous today
And there’s rackets and practice
And games to be played

First time I don’t even care
About the weight in the air
And it’s
All those things
All those things
And da da da, da, da da…

I don’t even care
I don’t even care, though
I don’t even care
I feel fine

Getting Back Together

Two times we’ve broken up
Two times a precedent
I thought we’d had enough
I thought I’d paid my debt

It’s like we’re getting back together
Again
Woah no

We’re getting back together
Again
Woah no

Ah woo
Ah woo

If You Ever Hear This Hey

I’m floating
On your fields of green and gray
And know
If I would sink, you’d come save my day
You row off
Because you think that I want to stay

If you ever hear this, hey
Are you well
Making friends
You can throw this all away

That’s alright
That’s all good
And I’m okay

Hey
You

I’m skating
On your fields of green and gray
And hockey
Is not the game I wanted to play
You call me
So many names, I said it’s okay

If you ever hear this, hey
Are you well
In the end
You can throw this all away

That’s alright
That’s all good
And I’m okay

Oh, and

Hey
You
Hey…

Hey

Landslide

(This song is a cover of “Landslide” by Fleetwood Mac, originally written by Stevie Nicks)

I took my love, I took it down
I climbed a mountain and I turned around
And I saw my reflection in the snow-covered hills
‘Till the landslide brought me down

Oh, mirror in the sky, what is love?
Can the child within my heart rise above?
Can I sail through the changing ocean tides?
Can I handle the seasons of my life?

I don’t know

Well, I’ve been afraid of changing
Cause I’ve built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Even children get older
And I’m getting older too

Said I’ve been afraid of changing
Cause I’ve… I built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Even children get older
And I’m getting older too

Yeah, I’m getting older too

Spring 13

Wait, run, sit, deface
Lost on the taste
Big far away
We are a set of people
Who saturate the town

Stay the line for the ride
Our turn will come
You’re right on time
We’re becoming better people
I’m glad to have known

Oh, the sky doesn’t fall anymore
The sky doesn’t fall anymore
The sky doesn’t fall anymore
The sky doesn’t fall anymore

Change, skate, waste the day
Sun hits the face
Water ice later
With these perfect people
I’m glad to have known

Lie back when the sun sets
In the grass patch
At the park act
They set up the gazebo
While we lit up the town

Woo!

Two left on the towel
Brink of the end
He says to him
You know, I’ll be leaving soon
He doesn’t move cause he knows

Don’t stop with the Spring here
Though it’s stirring to look back here
Don’t stop with the Spring here
Though it’s stirring

I run with the pace
Nothing distressed
Nothing misplaced
We’re actually perfect people
And I think we’ve really grown

Change, skate, waste the day
Sun hits the face
Water ice later
With these perfect people
I’m glad to have known
