I’VE OFFERED MYSELF UP FOR A CHANGE OF PACE
ONE WHERE I COULD LOVE EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING
UNCONDITIONALLY
OR,
WELL,
WITH SOME CONDITIONS PENDING
BUT MORE OR LESS IN THE POSITIVE DIRECTION I’M SENDING
ALL I HAD TO DO WAS SWITCH OFF
ALL I HAD TO DO WAS SWITCH OFF
ALL I HAD TO DO WAS SWITCH OFF
ALL I HAD TO DO WAS SWITCH
THEN THINGS GOT ALL HAZY
THE LIGHTS GOT ALL LAZY
LIKE THEY WERE SHIFTING THEIR WEIGHT IN THE SPACE
IT FELT CRAZY BUT KIND OF AMAZING
LETTING THAT DIMENSION SLIP INSIDE ME
IN A T-SHIRT THAT SAID ‘EVERYDAY IS FRIDAY’
THEN GOOD OL’ LUCIFER HE STEPPED IN
HE SAID ‘LET’S PROTECT HIM’
HE WAS DRESSED SO MAJESTIC
I WAS PRETTY IMPRESSED WITH MYSELF IN HIS REFLECTION
HE SAID
‘LET ME LIVE ON IN YOUR TRENDS, C’MON MAN! DON’T JUST THROW ME AWAY WITH THEM!
MY STUPID SICK HEART IT JUST CAN’T TAKE ANYMORE,
LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL, LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL OVER ME…LET THAT HEART ON YOUR SLEEVE START TO BEAT.’

This entire album rips. I've had this on repeated play several times since it came out. I wish I had heard it a week earlier when they played in Boston. One of my fav albums in this genre period. slimes
