take 6th from la brea to downtown
is it a gradient
or is it just the redlining

geez it’s possible
i mean so far i’ve been the opposite of stoppable
long games played only
don’t jinx it you might outlive me
what’s the opposite
we’re all dust and bones at the end of it

i keep thinking about the pay phone that i never called you from
and you got just what you had coming but i really wish you well
you taught me
one thing
in between the times i wasn’t hoping for the fall
when you do wrong
they let you feel right
and the only thing i feel is new
do right
so do right

i was looking for no one
i was searching for no one
if i look to you it’s not because i’m lonely
and i don’t owe you anything at all, that’s true
but i can’t let them make a no one out of you

hey man, are you broken?
for how long?
i’m always looking to fix something
is it a heart or a head problem?
will i need my notebook or my skateboard?
my guitar or my spray cans?
well, i can work with my hands, too
ah, shoot

go ahead and misspell my entire name on the docket
i’ve got a list of things to do but i don’t wanna check it
the motions that i’ve put in motions get postponed
i’m not here to shark no more
but would you give me the same deference?
what’s my instruction? the outcome is i stay cold
i stay cold
