1.Safe And Sound
Lyricist：Ryan Merchant, Sebu Simonian
Writer(s)：Ryan Merchant, Sebu Simonian
I could lift you up
I could show you what you wanna see
And take you where you wanna be
You could be my luck
Even if the sky is falling down
I know that we'll be safe and sound
We're safe and sound
I could fill your cup
You know my river won't evaporate
This world we still appreciate
You could be my luck
Even in a hurricane of frowns
I know that we'll be safe and sound
Safe and sound
We're safe and sound
Safe and sound
We're safe and sound
Hold your ground
We're safe and sound
Safe and sound
I could show you love
In a tidal wave of mystery
You'll still be standing next to me
You could be my luck
Even if we're six feet underground
I know that we'll be safe and sound
We're safe and sound
Safe and sound
Safe and sound
Hold your ground
Safe and sound
I could lift you up
I could show you what you wanna see
And take you where you wanna be
You could be my luck
Even if the sky is falling down
I know that we'll be safe and sound
I could lift you up
I could show you what you wanna see
And take you where you wanna be
You could be my luck
Even if the sky is falling down
I know that we'll be safe and sound
We're safe and sound
We're safe and sound
We're safe and sound
We're safe and sound
Safe and sound
We're safe and sound
Safe and sound
We're safe and sound
Hold your ground
We're safe and sound
Safe and sound
We're safe and sound
2.Patience Gets Us Nowhere Fast
Writer(s)：Ryan Merchant, Sebu Simonian
I want it all and nothing less
I want it all, I want the best for you
I'm telling you the truth
You are the one that makes it real
Even the sunlight doesn't feel this good
Whoever said it could？
Patience
Patience gets us nowhere fast
I want it all and nothing less
I want it all, I want the best for us
I'm telling you to trust
The world you see is on our side
Take a chance and take a ride with me
From sea to shining sea
Patience
Patience gets us nowhere fast
I don't want my patience to last
Follow me, follow me somewhere
Follow me, follow me somewhere
Follow me, follow me somewhere out there
I want it all and nothing less
I want it all, I want the best for you
I'm telling you the truth
You are the kiss I don't expect
Remind me never to forget my youth
I'll leave it up to you
Patience
Patience gets us nowhere fast
3.Kangaroo Court
Lyricist：Ryan Merchant, Sebu Simonian
Writer(s)：Ryan Merchant, Sebu Simonian
There's a dark part of town
Where the girls kick down
And I cannot wait for a chance to go
Wait for a chance to go
I've got my bad luck shoes and every excuse
To dance these blues away
Ain't coming home
I ain't coming home
Shut up, shut up, shut up
Sit up, sit up, sit up
It's a kangaroo court
A kangaroo court
Shut up, shut up, shut up
Sit up, sit up, sit up
It's a kangaroo court
A kangaroo court
In a dusty room I come to assume
That I've been doomed
To lose my mind tonight
To weak to fight
So I try to save face and I rest my case
The judge pulls me aside, says, C'est la vie
Let your darker side come out to feed
Shut up, shut up, shut up
Sit up, sit up, sit up
It's a kangaroo court
A kangaroo court
Shut up, shut up, shut up
Sit up, sit up, sit up
It's a kangaroo court
A kangaroo court
All right
I can't do sexy
I commit the crime of wasting time
Always trying to rhyme
Yes, I am guilty
But don't misunderstand me
I admit defeat then I move my feet
My history will never be repeated
I won't ever be repeated
Shut up, shut up, shut up
Sit up, sit up, sit up
It's a kangaroo court
A kangaroo court
Shut up, shut up, shut up
Sit up, sit up, sit up
It's a kangaroo court
A kangaroo court
Shut up, shut up, shut up
Sit up, sit up, sit up
It's a kangaroo court
A kangaroo court
Shut up, shut up, shut up
Sit up, sit up, sit up
It's a kangaroo court
A kangaroo court
4.I Sold My Bed, But Not My Stereo
Writer(s)：Ryan Merchant, Sebu Simonian
Black is my favorite color
Makes me feel like we know each other
Blank tapes and posters on the door
Listen to my Pink Floyd cover
Take a seat like a backbeat lover
Mixed tapes and cushions on the floor
I sold my bed, but not my stereo
I sold my bed, but not my stereo
Paper bags and escalators
Pushing up those broken faders
Only way to find out who you are
In a town of ones and zeros
You are one magnetic hero
Little things will always get you far
I sold my bed, but not my stereo
I sold my bed, but not my stereo
I sold my bed, but not my stereo
I sold my bed, but not my stereo
Black is my favorite color
Makes me feel like we know each other
In a town of ones and zeros
You are one magnetic hero
I sold my bed, but not my stereo
I sold my bed, but not my stereo
I sold my bed, but not my stereo
I sold my bed, but not my stereo
5.Center Stage
Writer(s)：Ryan Merchant, Sebu Simonian
There's a good time to do it on your own
There's a good time, now it's time to go
There's a good time, to do it for a change
There's a good time, step out from the cage
Everyday I walk away with the feeling that I'm center stage
There's a good time
There's a good time
Everyday I walk away with the feeling that I'm center stage
There's a good time
There's a good time
There's a good time to do it on your own
There's a good time, now it's time to go
There's a good time, to do it for a change
There's a good time, step out from the cage
Everyday I walk away with the feeling that I'm center stage
There's a good time (there's a good time)
There's a good time (there's a good time)
Everyday I walk away with the feeling that I'm center stage
There's a good time (there's a good time)
There's a good time (there's a good time)
On a mission, on a mission
Gonna get it right
Don't think about it
I don't think about it
On a mission, on a mission
Gonna get it right
Don't think about it
Think about, think about it
On a mission, on a mission
Gonna get it right
Don't think about it
I don't think about it
On a mission, on a mission
Gonna get it right
Don't think about it
Think about, think about it
Everyday I walk away
(There's a good time, there's a good time)
Everyday I walk away
(There's a good time, there's a good time)
Everyday I walk away
Everyday I walk away with the feeling that I'm center stage
There's a good time
There's a good time
Everyday I walk away with the feeling that I'm center stage
There's a good time
There's a good time
6.Farrah Fawcett Hair
Lyricist：Ryan Merchant, Sebu Simonian, Andre Benjamin
Writer(s)：Ryan Merchant, Sebu Simonian, Andre Benjamin
Support for Capital Cities comes from...
Lazy Hooks
National Public Radio
Back to the Future 2
Daniel Day Lewis
Sunsets
You know it when you see it
You know it when it's there
Like Michael Jackson Thriller
Like Farrah Fawcett Hair
It's good shit
It's good shit
It's good shit
Oh yeah
Solar Energy
Nutella
Democracy
My voice
Enjoying ceviche in Peru and seeing a double rainbow
While listening to Bitches Brew as recorded by Miles Davis
Andre 3000
Falling mirrors and her hair in a bun
Kids with big glasses that laugh when they run
Girls with old-school names like Ruby May
Have infants with baby breath, yawn in your face (oh yeah)
You'll be tucked in every night for a month
By all of the American Apparel ad girls
American... American Apparel ad, as girls
You know what I mean？
I like it when you're under the ocean and all you can feel is
calm
I like it when I'm sleeping
I like it when I'm listening to music because that's the only
thing that takes me to another world
I like it when public bathrooms have scented candles
I like it when you talk to me like that
I like it when it rains at night and I'm curled up in bed with a
good book
I like it when I turn my head around and I catch you looking
back
You know it when you see it
You know it when it's there
Like Michael Jackson Thriller
Like Farrah Fawcett Hair
It's good shit (I like it when you play with my hair)
It's good shit (I like it when you play with my hair)
It's good shit (I like it when you play with my hair)
Oh yeah
(I like it when you play with my hair)
You know it when you see it
You know it when it's there
Like Michael Jackson Thriller
Like Farrah Fawcett Hair
It's good shit
It's good shit (Oh, it's good shit baby)
It's good shit
Oh yeah
7.Chartreuse
Lyricist：Ryan Merchant, Sebu Simonian
Writer(s)：Ryan Merchant, Sebu Simonian
We painted our faces
we were at resting place in from the light
I must admit on that resting site
we looked alright
But now it's just traces
As we fade in black and white
We put make up on with no light
We're too uptight
Color me this way
Color me that way
Color me inside out
Color me upside down
To show my true colors
I must first be exposed to the light
I transverse in secondly fight
With all my might
I've blown my cover
in plain view I'm as plain as you
But you can't deny my hues
Red blue chartruese
Color me this way
Color me that way
Color me inside out
Color me upside down
Color me this way
Color me that way
Color me inside out
Color me upside down
8.Origami
Lyricist：Ryan Merchant, Sebu Simonian
Writer(s)：Ryan Merchant, Sebu Simonian
Origami (or or or ori o or i ga mi)
Origami (or or or ori o or i)
You got a head full of paper, but baby nothing like origami
Shredded thoughts and make up won't make up for the missing
piece of mind
I saw you look in the mirror, the scenery was suddenly boring
It's the end of an era
Forever is just a state of mind
You're last of your kind
I stole your diamonds and gold
what are you going to do
I stole your diamonds and gold
what are you going to do about it (do about it)
You were blessed with precision so I took you to the beaches of
Bali
It wasn't fate but decision, luck was choosing sides
Flip the page to a silver age
Life has treated you kindly
The price you pay is your vision
Collision is highly likely
I stole your diamonds and gold
what are you going to do
I stole your diamonds and gold
what are you going to do about it (do about it)
I stole your diamonds and gold
what are you going to do
I stole your diamonds and gold
what are you going to do about it (do about it)
Origami
Origami
Origami
Origami
I stole your diamonds and gold
what are you going to do
(origami)
I stole your diamonds and gold
what are you going to do about it (do about it)
I stole your diamonds and gold
what are you going to do
(Origami)
I stole your diamonds and gold
what are you going to do about it (do about it)
9.Lazy Lies
Lyricist：Ryan Merchant, Sebu Simonian
Writer(s)：Ryan Merchant, Sebu Simonian
Sick and tired, and you wanna see a change
But you don't wanna change for me
Be so kind to explain whats on your mind
Your the riddle of the century
I'm afraid there was a lion lying in the shade
On a hammock, hanging from my tree
Lazy lies today (lazy lies today)
Lazy lies today (lazy lies today)
Tomorrow you might change
But it's lazy lies today (lazy lies today)
Lazy lies today (lazy lies today)
Tomorrow you might change
But lazy lies today
Please explain what you think there is to gain
When you treat me like a magazine
Just a picture, I'm a temporary fixture
Like a moment in your make believe
My prediction, strange as fiction
I'll get over this addiction too
Lazy lies today (lazy lies today)
Lazy lies today (lazy lies today)
Tomorrow you might change
But it's lazy lies today (lazy lies today)
Lazy lies today (lazy lies today)
Lazy lies today (lazy lies today)
Tomorrow you might change
But it's lazy lies today
(Lazy lies today, lazy lies today)
(Lazy lies today, lazy lies today)
(Lazy lies today, lazy lies today)
(Lazy lies today, lazy lies today)

12.Love Away
Writer(s)：Ryan Merchant, Sebu Simonian
Love, just love away
Just do it everyday
Just do it every way
Love, just love away
Just do it everyday
Just do it every way
All my friends, they pretend
The end is just around the bend
But since you came along
I'm not believin' it
Sunshine, destiny
The birds and bees and centipedes
Until you came along
I never needed it
Love, just love away
Just do it everyday
Just do it every way
Love, just love away
Just do it everyday
Just do it every way
Money, power, a man of means
Chasing down irrational dreams
But when you came along
I was freed of it
Throw your TV out the door
One, two, three, four, on the floor!
And if you sing a song
You'll believe in it
Love, just love away
Just do it everyday
Just do it every way
Love, just love away
Just do it everyday
Just do it every way
Love, just love away
Just do it everyday
Just do it every way
Love, just love away
Just do it everyday
Just do it every way
Love, just love away
Just do it everyday
Just do it every way
Love, just love away
Just do it everyday
Just do it every way
