1.Sad Vacation

Lyricist:Brent DeboerCourtney Taylor - Taylor
Writer(s):Brent DeboerCourtney Taylor - Taylor

Then you get me right down to the crawl
& then you get me right down to the crawl
one more lesson now that's all
one more lesson now that's all
yeah (x4)
then you get me right down to the crawl
& then you get me right down to the crawl
one more lesson down it goes
one more lesson down it goes

I'm on vacation
I'm gonna change the station
I can not fake like I can not hear
any sound so insincere
'cause the more you stay the same
the more I feel like I'll have to change
so you can watch me walk away
you can beg but I can not stay
no way (x4)

So, I'm on vacation
I'm gonna change the station
I can not fake like I can not hear
anything so insincere
'cause the more you stay the same
the more I feel like I'll have to change
so you can watch me walk away
you can beg but I never stay
no way (x4)


2.The Autumn Carnival

Lyricist:Courtney Taylor - TaylorAvid J. Haskins
Writer(s):Courtney Taylor - TaylorAvid J. Haskins

You come around to the autumn carnival (ooo)
It's glowing like a jack-o-latern on the hill (ooo)
You should be younger now than you were then
Trading silver (?) for a thrill

You come around to the autumn carnival (ooo)
There is a fog in the hall of mirrors (ooo)
The ghost of (?) has jumped the track
Like a carousel which is turning back
Create all the things that you lack
You can go there if you need
And you can surely fix you gauranteed

Ferris wheel unshadows and shatters (?) (ooo)
Across the ground into the eyes of the innocent (ooo)
The carnie spits at the waxing moon
And all that hell that was gone too soon
You can go there if you need
And it will surely fix you gauranteed

Here comes the rain so you move inside (ooo)
There is no compass, there is no guide (ooo)
And is no mask behind which to hide
You come around to the autumn carnival
You come around to the autumn carnival

And you can take it with you if you need
'cuz it will surely fix you gauranteed

You come around to the autumn carnival


3.Enjoy Yourself

Lyricist:The Dandy Warhols
Writer(s):The Dandy Warhols

It went by so fast
And now I wanna go back
And that's why I'm living in the past I

I used to be cool
Used to be a fool
Too cool for rules man
Too cool for school

I used to be pretty
Pretty like a girl
I was the prettiest little girl in the whole fucking world

So look at yourself
Enjoy your health
Let everybody else be everybody else and really enjoy yourself
now

Cause I used to be tough
I used to play rough
Before the stones to the stick
I took my licks until I had had enough

I used to be hot
Used to be a little snot
And like it or not I got what I want
And I liked what I got

So look at yourself
Enjoy your health
Say what you mean
Be what you be
And really enjoy yourself now

I used to be shitty
When I used to be pretty
I was the prettiest little shitty in the whole New York City

So look at yourself
Enjoy your health
Say what you mean
Be what you're gonna be
And really enjoy yourself now

Lyricist:Courtney Taylor - TaylorBrent Deboer
Writer(s):Courtney Taylor - TaylorBrent Deboer

All right, here it comes

Well, I can tell you for the money
The simple life, honey, is good, uh huh
Well, if you ask me how you made it?
Secure life, baby, you should
Oh yes, you should

'Cause if you're doing all the best that you can
But you're still runnin' just as fast as the man says
Well, I can tell you for the money
The simple life honey is good
Uh huh, now yes, it's good

Now when you're movin' to the city
You worry on your mental health
Yes, you do, now
Oh, you gentlemen and ladies
You've got to be good to yourself, mm hmm

So get yourself into a ranch style home
When the neighbor's never more than a stone's throw
Well, I can tell you for the money
The simple life, honey, is good
Yes, it is, yes, it's good
That's right, yeah

But, oh on, all the money
Still you just can't please everybody
How bad do, do you want it?
'Cause the money it looks so good, good, good, ohh
Yeah, whoo, yeah

So now you're chasin' the American dream
Just like the dollar's gonna make everybody scream
But I can tell you for the money
The simple life sure looks good
That's right, now, yes, it's good, oh yeah

Oh no, all the money
Looks so good, good, good to everybody
How bad do, do you want it?
'Cause the money, it looks so good, good, good

Now there's a whole lot of faking and takin'
And shakin' my hand
And when they tell you, they love ya'
They love ya' like a one night stand, mm hmm

So if you're playin' in a rock'n'roll band
But still you're doing whatever the man says
Well, I can tell you for the money
The simple life, honey, is good, that's right
Yes, it's good

Uh huh, take care


5.Well They're Gone

Lyricist:The Dandy Warhols
Writer(s):The Dandy Warhols

There was a time, I resigned, resigned myself to a lonely climb,
but thinking this was a bad sign, all aboard flight 9, [one
nine](?) departing on time, since you called me

and said your weak and frail heart, so many times had belonged
to someone that wasn't strong, yeah,
well they're gone and you belong to me, just stay here in my
arms, longer than it seems I travel to your door, told me that
you had a dream and we stayed the night, and never leave

you said your weak and frail heart so many times it belonged to
someone that wasn't strong, yeah, well they're gone and you
belong to me, just stay here in my arms, longer than it seems I
travel to your door, told me that you had a dream and we stayed
the night


6.Rest Your Head

Lyricist:Courtney Taylor - TaylorMiles Zuniga
Writer(s):Courtney Taylor - TaylorMiles Zuniga

Go to sleep - the play is over
Left your ticket on the seat
Be redeemed when you're dreaming
Lay your head and go to sleep
Don't you worry till tomorrow
Heaven knows you surely will
Think about it, take one more lap around it
Close the blinds and set your mind at peace
Waste some time, waste some money
Talk about your wasted years
They devastate you, complete and complicate you
Never minding your wasted tears
Don't you worry till tomorrow
Heaven knows you surely will
Think about it, take one last lap around it
Close your eyes and let your mind release...
Love and kindness, pain and sadness
All the stations in between
They will derail you, they will assail you
But rest your head, for I won't fail you
Don't you worry till tomorrow
Heaven knows you surely will
Think about it, one last short lap around it
Close your eyes and set your mind at peace.


7.16 Tons

Lyricist:The Dandy Warhols
Writer(s):The Dandy Warhols

I was born one morning when the sun didn't shine.
I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine.
I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal.
And the straw boss said (well bless my soul).
You load sixteen tons, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt.
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go.
I sold my soul to the company's store.

If you see me coming better step aside.
A lot of men didn't, a lot of men died.
I've got one fist of iron, the other of steel.
And if the right one don't get you then the left one will.
You load sixteen tons, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company's store

Some people say a man is made out of mud.
A poor man's made out of muscle and blood.
Muscle and blood and skin and bones.
A mind that is weak and a back that's strong.
You load sixteen tons, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt.
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company's store.


8.I Am Free

Lyricist:The Dandy Warhols
Writer(s):The Dandy Warhols

am free

I am free there's no one tells me what to be 'cause I know who I
am and I am free

now I'm free at last my darkest past is fading fast and I can
say at last that i am free

My soul is cleansed this tortured heart is on the mend again I
know who I am and I am free

and when all of my friends forgive me of the worst I've been do
they let me back in so I can begin again?

I am free I let music get inside of me till I know who I am and
I am free I am free there's music deep inside of me and I can
let it out and let it be


and when they say payback is a bitch it's a bitch you've got to
make your peace with it.

and only then can you learn to sleep with it

And when time you see you've got to think twice before you do or
say anything

and now I am free

I am free

c'mon I am free

well I am free


9.Seti(feat. The Wow ! Signal)

Lyricist:Courtney Taylor - TaylorMiles Zuniga
Writer(s):Courtney Taylor - TaylorMiles Zuniga

It's like a rocket to a caveman
looking up, attacking by a spaceman
it's life, but not as we know it
we didn't make it, we didn't grow it

Don't look up it's the Wow! signal
extraterrestrial, now people
up in the sky
up in the sky, coming down

Late night for Doctor Jerry Ehman
6EQ and it's bigger than it came in
It's like a rocket to a caveman
talkin' on a cell phone, staring into space, man

Don't look up it's the Wow! signal
hovering over the clouds, people
up in the sky
up in the sky, coming down

Here we go!
Satellite, Europa has Jupiter
going round like people getting stupider
goes through crashes and phasers
over and over like rats in mazes

Don't look up it's the Wow! signal
nobody knows if it's good, if it's evil
towering over the church and the steeple
up in the sky, up in the sky


10.Don't Shoot She Cried

Lyricist:Zia MccabeBrent Deboer
Writer(s):Zia MccabeBrent Deboer

(Grrh, woof)
Travis gets me a beer
Poopy tunes the guitar
(Woof)
Fathead spins me up one
It's the the biggest one that he's even spun

Travis gets me a beer

Poopy tunes the guitar
Fathead spins me up one
It's the the biggest one that he's even spun

Travis gets me a beer
Poopy tunes the guitar
Fathead spins me up one
It's the the biggest one that he's even spun


11.Slide

Lyricist:The Dandy Warhols
Writer(s):The Dandy Warhols

Well, I could sleep forever
But it's of her I dream
If I could sleep forever
I could forget about everything
If I could sleep forever
If I could sleep forever
If I could sleep forever
Oh, oh oh, oh
