Dead TV Star 02:38
I wanna be your zombie baby won't you let me pick your brains out I wanna tear your heart to pieces and send it cross town to your mom's house I wanna give you stitches baby I'll take you all apart I wanna be your quiet crazy and you can be my modern art I wanna be your bad decision Hook you up on a sunday night I wanna be your drug addiction I'll bring my scale and weigh you out right I wanna watch you seizure as I throw you out the car I wanna be your fake prescription and you can be my dead TV star I wanna be your car wreck mama I wanna be your DUI I wanna be that ditch that eats you up when you're too drunk to drive I wanna be that tinted window shattered in the sun I'll let you be my driver baby if I can be your soft concussion You're gonna need me like the bottle that you can't seem to quit the missing pieces to a model that you don't get to fix and when it's time to leave I'll be your ticket off the map but you can't look back I wanna be your old age mama I wanna be your failing health I wanna be that overflowing ashtray you hang up on your shelf I wanna be that welfare check that gets you through the week I wanna be that superstitious icon you hold when things get too bleak

Tell me where you got it I saw it at the show and then we met after your set next to the shirts and the cassettes that you were trying to unload Tell me how you want it I wanna hear about your tone Said you were workin on a verse you put your lovin into words and then it cut me to the bone But I just want your big muff super fuzz think I'm gonna get it 'cause you're so cool like that let me try it through your stack your moves are badass think you could take me to class maybe we could stay up late I think we should collaborate I'll get some gin & tonics I wanna hear about the road said you've been out a couple weeks but you're not gettin what you need and now you think you might explode Or do you like the chronic? how do you feel 'bout gettin stoned? and then we'll smoke a cigarette and talk about the things we said when we thought we were all alone But I just want your big muff super fuzz think I'm gonna get it 'cause you're so cool like that let me try it through your stack your moves are so rad don't think this is just a fad maybe we could stay up late I think we should collaborate And we'll be rockin dives all night and workin on the riffs to get the timing right and talkin 'bout the influences we both like if you get down on Kraftwerk I think we'll get tight

When I see you I just want to get into your car and drive all over town I get scared when you're not there-Tell me where you are and how you get around you don't know me but I want you to know me I think things would be better off if I took your sweater off I wanna tell the world about how I'm in love with Oprah Winfrey When I see you on the TV chatting with the stars It really gets me down I don't know how to let go-How are you so far away from me? and no you don't know me but I think you should know me I think thinks would be better if I sent you a letter I'd crawl into the envelope and send myself to Oprah Winfey When I see you I just want to get into your car and drive all over town I get scared when you're not there-Tell me where you are and how you get around you don't know me but I want you to know me I think things would be better off if I took your sweater off I wanna tell the world about how I'm in love with Oprah Winfrey

I think too much, never had the right touch she says, she says maybe it's not your fault you're just lonely, maybe if you only let go, let go pullin myself apart Tired of the season, maybe that's the reason she says, she says never could stand the rain I'm just spacey, and a little lazy I could let go, I wouldn't feel the same I'll take you home my head tries to stop me It's mad at the world, sad about the state I'm in He keeps me stoned but you keep me crazy Not mad at ya girl, just sad 'cause you won't let me in Eric's got a locket, tells me I should think less He don't look inside, keeps it on a silver chain Hands inside my pockets, he says that he's possessed think he could be right, but never did he once explain I talk too much, never felt a good touch she says, she says maybe it's not your fault I take action, try to make my fractions divide, divide, find a new place to start I make my way home, find my direction you can find it too, you know it's right in front of you she keeps her shoes on, runs the inspection she knows what to do, she knows I never had a clue Eric's got a locket, keeps it on a silver chain He don't even mind, he's been waiting for a sign I'll take you home, my head tries to stop me I don't even care, I don't even know it's there

about

While on tour in the midwest, Autonomics passed through Tulsa Oklahoma and through a chance meeting met bootlegger and local sound engineer, Mike Gilliland. In a short day and half stay at his home studio the PDX trio churned out a snapshot of the bands sonic power. The five track extended play articulates the culture of midwest DIY production and the tightness of a tour hardened band after over a month on the road. A pop oriented group of young men from the Pacific Northwest blended into your trendy girlfriend's new summer mixtape.
