Delightfully Pleased

Punchline Delightfully Pleased Lyrics
1.Seventy

You won't find songs of hopelessness on this record,
You won't find songs that leave you feeling lost
Just press play and feel your problems melt away
What else should the music do in you?

There are nights I can't remember
Where I woke up on the floor
I've seen friends become successful
and then be a friend no more

I've had my share of heartache,
felt like throwing in the towel
But one thing is for sure
I'm feeling good right now

We are well aware of what we're doing here
We're astronauts with instruments
Without a single fear of the unknown

Had a vision in the days of Laga
It was a platinum dream and a touring saga
We shot for the moon and missed,
So we discovered our own planet

There are nights I can't remember
Where I woke up on the floor
I've seen friends become successful
and then be a friend no more

I've had my share of heartache,
felt like throwing in the towel
But one thing is for sure
I'm feeling good

And I'm coming for you
in the morning, you'll choose:
Ignore us, adore us -
You're what keeps us hanging on,
You're what keeps us hanging
You're what keeps us hanging on

There are nights I can't remember
Where I woke up on the floor
I've seen friends become successful
and then be a friend no more

I've had my share of heartache,
felt like throwing in the towel
But one thing is for sure
I'm feeling good right now


2.The Reinventor

The whole town disappeared
while my mini-blinds were closed
Could be that way for years,
and I might never know

Maybe no one told me cause they knew that I wouldn't
Leave the premises because they knew that I couldn't
You're the only one that still came around,
You're the only one that can get me out

All I want to do is something new,
Need to feel different doing something cool
Wherever we go is up to you now,
Just get me out of the house
Just get me out of the house

I'm living underground now (living underground now)
Super top secret planning (s-super secret planning)
When I finally unlock my door
I won't look a thing like I did before
You can tell my friends to alert the press,
But every now and then I've got to reinvent
I - I'm so tired
this is too much uninspired
Just get me out.

All I want to do is something new,
Need to feel different doing something cool
Wherever we go is up to you,
Pick a direction and I'll follow suit

For the time being I don't want to do nothing,
Including laying around watching bad television
You might have to physically hold me down
Or scream at me -
Just get me out of the house,
And get me into the car
take me somewhere I've never been before
Just get me out of the house,
Get me into the car
and take me somewhere I've never been before
I'm sick of the same old stories
Just sick of the same old stories


3.21 Forever

Stop running around
Because no one here is proud
Once lady-like, miss Katie White
Finds herself upside down

In the morning, I can tell
That something happened, you don't want to say
So blame the television,
College life so glamorous,

But you can't be 21 forever
No, you can't be 21 forever

Do yourself a favor, darling
Step down from that broken chair
The comfort that you're looking for is surely not up there

I know you want to know what happened
When you went away behind the scenes
It's harder than titanium,
But worth more than those diamond dreams

But you can't be 21 forever
No, you can't be 21 forever
And I know all about bad weather
But you can't be 21 forever

Get it all, get it all,
Out of your system while you can
When you call, when you call,
I guarantee I'll understand

Do yourself a favor, darling
Step down from that broken chair
The comfort that you're looking for is surely not up there, oh
no

But you can't be 21 forever
No, you can't be 21 forever
And I know all about bad weather
But you can't be 21 forever

Maybe I'm smarter than you think,
But I know just what's happening,
A missed connection,
or the beginning of hard times to come
As much as I want to know
where you have been
I'd die to be oblivious,
Is it better to never know?

No, you can't be 21 forever
No, you can't be 21 forever
And I know all about bad weather
But you can't be 21

No, you can't be 21 forever
No, you can't be 21 forever
And we may sound like a broken record
If you can't be 20
Then you can't be 21
No, you can't be 21 Forever.


4.Greatest. Party. Ever.

I'm innovative at dancing and I'm beast with the grill
The shisgabobs will be graizing til the party is filled
The energy that's created by the food and the wine
Will keep us going all night and guarantee the best time.

The world is spinning and there's no way to stop it
We can't avoid that the future's here.
So let's stay up late and celebrate
It's always new years eve of two thousand something.

I've been cleaning and dusting and cooking all day
I've got a fridge full of Zima and a vegetable tray
The scrabble boards are shining like sequins in the sea
The WIFI network is slamming forest Gump's on TV.

The world is spinning and there's no way to stop it
We can't avoid that the future's here.
So let's stay up late and celebrate
It's always new years eve of two thousand something.

Hey girl let me get your information
Show up late with no reservation
Hey girl let me get your information
Party at my house and no place to end.

The world is spinning and there's no way to stop it
We can't avoid that the future's here.
So let's stay up late and celebrate
It's always new years eve of two thousand something.


5.Roller Coaster Smoke

Wake up in the woods
Wonder where you are
Hear the people screaming
Somewhere from afar

Run out on the beach
This has got to be a dream
Save all those you can
Start a new society

I wonder what's out there
The Roller Coaster Smoke
I must admit I'm scared
to see where this will go

The others are coming to take us away
I don't know what they want cause they never say
We'll live together or we will die alone
Yeah, we'll live together or we will die alone

Don't ever tell me what I can and can't do
You don't control me
I'm on my feet again
Do you believe in destiny
Do you believe in divine intervention
Traveling through time
The constant is the key
I wonder if we'll find out when we're supposed to be

The others are coming to take us away
I don't know what they want cause they never say
We'll live together or we will die alone
Yeah, we'll live together or we will die alone

Take this tape
The soundtrack to my brain
Things that I just cannot say to you
Take this tape
The soundtrack to my brain
Things that I've already said to you.


6.Into the Mouth

Punchline - Into The Mouth
Something is wrong.
Hell on the rise
Into the mouth
Hands at our sides.
Nothing to hide.
Where east becomes west
Where we lost our heads.

Still proud to be
Delightfully pleased
Delightfully pleased
Politefully dead.

Back when I was a giant that scared the sun away
I never thought I'd face him again and felt comforted in that
And then he emerged, so quick into the ground
And when happens next is anybody's guess, but we'll always be
around
So nothing is wrong,
Nothing is wrong,
Nothing is wrong
Nothing.


7.Whatever I Want,Whenever I Want

I don't care what anyone has to say
I choose to live my life this way.
So keep your nose where it belongs
I'll keep my ears tied to the song
that says I can be what I want to be
I'll choose my own damn destiny
I'm sorry if you disagree.
Listen to the melody

Get out of the way
Get out of the way
I can do whatever I want, whenever I want
Get out of the way
Get out of the way

I've got a brilliant plan
And dreams so big they won't fit in my head.
We're gonna be actors.
We're gonna be astronauts.

We all wanna be rich and famous and in love
Who's to say that we can't do all the things that we think of

Still got a hope, still got a chance,
Still got 10 fingers on my hands.
Still got the desire, still got the fire
Still got the supply for the demand
Still got the outlook I had as a kid
And I still don't see a damn thing wrong with that.

Get out of the way
Get out of the way
I can do whatever I want, whenever I want
Get out of the way
Get out of the way

I've got a brilliant plan
And dreams so big they won't fit in my head.
We're gonna be actors.
We're gonna be astronauts.
We're gonna be doctors,
We're gonna be presidents.

I'm gonna be the biggest rock star
That you probably never heard of.

I'm gonna be the biggest rock star
That you probably never
That you probably never heard of.

I'm gonna be the biggest rock star
In the entire universe.

We all wanna be rich and famous and in love
We all wanna be rich and famous and in love

Get out of the way
Get out of the way
I can do whatever I want, whenever I want
Get out of the way
Get out of the way


8.Keystoned

The shape was rectangular
The color was purple and I was a kid
Spinning a globe around
Yeah, picking out places that I wanted to live.

You grew up in a fairy tale world
But you can't spin the earth
And you can't figure it out.

You're at home
You can tell when you see the bridges and bell
Pennsylvania's the home that you
know that you can always come back to.

Belle Vernon!
Allentown and nanty glow, Red lion, Edinboro,
We have a California and a jersey shore
Is Bethlehem where Jesus' was born?

Oh man, in nature at each other's necks.
Birds in the east, and steel in the west.
The lion on the mountain and the panthers pit.
But it's friendly competition and that's just it.

You're at home
You can tell when you see the bridges and bell
Pennsylvania's the home that you
know that you can always come back to.

We have 67 counties, and no dominant political party
The declaration of indy was signed out in Philly
And Pittsburgh has more bridges than any other city,
Not counting Venice.

You've got a friend in Pennsylvania (I'm coming home)
You've got a friend in Pennsylvania (Come back home, I'm coming
home)
You've got a friend in Pennsylvania (I'm coming home)
You've got a friend in Pennsylvania (Come back home, I'm coming
home)

You're at home
You can tell when you hear the liberty
Pennsylvania's the home that you
know that you can always come back to.

You've got a friend in Pennsylvania
You've got a friend in Pennsylvania


9.No Significant Other

I look at you and see the life I wanna live.
You look at me and say How could it come to this
But if the timings right and stars align
Then consider this case closed.
I see you walking for the door
But some day you'll call this home.

No significant other, and now I'm really bored
And all I wanna do is drink
No significant other today.
So why would you leave me all alone.
You know I don't get along
When I'm left all by myself.

You're gonna lose it.
You're gonna lose it.
You're gonna lose it.
You're gonna lose it.

But if the timings right and stars align
Then consider this case closed.
I see you walking for the door
But some day you'll call this home.

No significant other, and now I'm really bored
And all I wanna do is drink
No significant other today.
So why would you leave me all alone.
You know I don't get along
When I'm left all by myself.

And I thought you'd be concerned.
But I guess I was wrong.
And still don't wanna be by myself.
Don't wanna be by myself.
Don't wanna be by myself.

So why would you leave me up the crick,
I'd treat you way better than Rick.
I saw him talking to Michelle
Don't wanna be by myself.
Don't wanna be by myself.
Don't wanna be by myself.
Veronica!


10.Coyotes in B Major

Punchline - Coyotes In B Major

Covered in thumbtacks
And wearing the legs of my 8th costume
In the desert at high noon
My heads shaved down the middle
Got a rat on my shoulder
I try and look forward, but a paper clips on my eye lids.
So painfully there.

I'm sporting this dumb grin in a restaurant t-shirt.
This excruciating headache's only getting worse.
The b cups had me standing where they last stopped moving me
I punish myself metaphorically for you all the time.

What happened?
What happened?
What happened last night?
Did we do what I think we did?
Coyotes sing inside the cavern where we hid
I wouldn't change it
In fact I'd turn the clock around
To sing this chorus
A disclaimer of sound
I think we should just be friends
I think we should just be friends
I think we should just be friends
And see if it ever happens again.

Walking up a hill with a thousand little holes
And I'm blindfolded, high heels and a beak on my nose
I'm pulling a ship, that's pulling a building.
I'm barely exaggerating, this heat is exasperation
Maybe it's 80 in a blue LA sky
But I'm perched on the cross around your neck in my mind
The sounds inside us, the animal spirit
We're not quite to the point of a genius civilization yet.

What happened?
Oh, what happened?
What happened last night?
Did we do what I think we did?
Coyotes sing inside the cavern where we hid
I wouldn't change it
In fact I'd turn the clock around
To sing this chorus
A disclaimer of sound
I think we should just be friends
I think we should just be friends
I think we should just be friends
And see if it ever happens again.

Starting pretty simple,
Your favorite drink this ones on me.
But no, I was a friend cuz it's still too hard to see
I think we should just be friends
I think we should just be friends
I think we should just be friends
And see if it ever happens again.

What happened last night?
I still don't remember
Cause its easier, it's easier
I wouldn't change it
In fact I'd turn the clock around
To sing this chorus
A disclaimer of sound
I think we should just be friends
I think we should just be friends
I think we should just be friends
And this could never happen again.
Unless it happens again.


11.A Universal Theme

This is a reaction to the songs we're forced to hear
Spread like and infection from the airwaves to our ears.

Don't give up now kid you see.
What you're searching for is on the tip of your tongue.
The future is here finally,
Writing and end to an open chapter.

Who you are depends on what's inside of you.
Spin the globe and change the world. Revolutionary.

This is a reaction to an existential state
Only a reflection throughout our sleepwalk days

How can we change what's engraved in our psyche
Like invisible strings on the tips of our Nike's
Pulling us faster and harder
To chase dreams that weren't ours in the first place.

Who you are depends on what's inside of you.
Spin the globe and change the world. Revolutionary.
Who you are depends on what's inside of you.
Spin the globe and change the world. Revolutionary.
Who you are ... Who you are ...

Who you are depends on what's inside of you.
Spin the globe and change the world. Revolutionary.

Who you are
Don't wanna be by myself
Don't wanna be by myself
No, I don't wanna be by myself.

There are nights I can't remember,
where I woke up on the floor.
I've seen friends become successful
And then be a friend, be a friend no more.
