Parquet Courts - NYC Observation Lyrics
Living in proximity of a dollar trying to get ahead of the pack
But you never learned, you never got it did ya?
How to glide past people sleeping on the sidewalk
Dreaming about stepping over something to bite on
Feeling pretty weak and you ...

Sarah Brightman - Better Is One Day Lyrics
How lovely is
Your dwelling place
O Lord almighty

Your dwelling place

Parquet Courts - Dust Lyrics
It comes through the window
It comes through the floor
It comes through the roof and
It comes through the door
Dust is everywhere
Sweep
It sneaks in ignored
It stacks up around
It follows, now swallow
You're biting it now
Suffocate, ...
Glee - NYC Lyrics
What is it about you
You're big
You're loud
You're tough NYC
I go years without you
Then I can't get enough
Enough of the cab drivers answering back
In the language far from pure
Enough of frankfurters answer...
Parquet Courts - It's Gonna Happen Lyrics
First, plastic faces feel cold and
Uncommon like they've got some
Place to be
So turn to me
They always come around
I'm not an imposter
I'm not an imposter
At first old conventions seemed
Staged and uncommon
It's gonna h...
Parquet Courts - Careers In Combat Lyrics
There are no more summer lifeguard jobs
There are no more art museums to guard
The lab is out of white lab coats
Cause there are no more slides and microscopes
But there are still careers in combat, my son
There are still careers in combat,...
Parquet Courts - Tears O'Plenty Lyrics
I drank right from your tears of plenty and
I exchanged all the gifts you sent me
Dreary beats over fast-rapped verses
Leaked through windows in hatchback hearses
Snacker's conference at the buffet table
Double dip in the goose pate m...
Parquet Courts - I Was Just Here Lyrics
My keys don't work
This knob don't turn
My eyes feel like
Cigarette burnt
I'll cut my hair
But I don't care
Should I unwind
And go to sleep?
Creature comforts
Straight from the source
My mind's worn out
Without a d...
Parquet Courts - Caster Of Worthless Spells Lyrics
We measured the distance of the space between islands
Gazing out into the river Styx she said "It's no river at all
It's a tidal estuary," was her only line, she delivered it well
Oh, you're just a caster of worthle...
Parquet Courts - Normalization Lyrics
Faced with a decision:
What do I call bullshit?
A contemporary dilemma
Can I allow this?
Normalization, what am I thinking?
Immunization, power conditioning
Nothing is normal
Manipulated into believing
I'm exercising skepticism
Hones...
Parquet Courts - N Dakota Lyrics
Train death paintings, anti-meth murals
Color the ghettos of N. Dakota
Bismark tractor association, coffee and toothpaste
This was vacation
I saw, while squinting, the hidden layer
In those lost-era grain elevators
Feudal beginnings, amber ...
Parquet Courts - Picture Of Health Lyrics
My last guilt-themed solicitation
Delivered slowly in hesitation
It could not soothe me, could not seduce me
Into repainting these strokes so loosely
How I remember my ex-blue t-shirt
Where the hole in it fell
Plain-dressed, wilting and wi...
Parquet Courts - Steady On My Mind Lyrics
"Where could I start?" those are the
Words I write
A late sentiment
A bit misplaced but that comes as no surprise
At a loss, I'm overwhelmed
Like my memory over time
Just remember that I'll keep you in
A place that I can...
Parquet Courts - Yr No Stoner Lyrics
Two young fingers in wet cement
There's a new impression built in front of my apartment
BG & EE that's so sweet
I wonder what E's gonna say when she sees
It's a pretty far walk to the DMV
Storm chasin' hippies...
Clay Aiken - Voting Doesn't Work Lyrics
Voting doesn't work, 1-2-3
It's time you know your enemy
I won't pledge allegiance to hypocrisy
Your democracy, is not for me
So when we try to change this place
Courtroom pulls an about face
Fantasies of the m...
Parquet Courts - Death Will Bring Change Lyrics
Before the grief, I found peace in my selfish ways
My yesterdays were erased
Death will bring change
Before the crash, I revelled in potential untapped
Mortality was not contained
Death will bring change
The bottom of this well is rich wi...
Glee Cast - Roar Lyrics
Tina:
I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath
Scared to rock the boat and make a mess
Unique:
So I sat quietly, agreed politely
I guess that I forgot I had a choice
Kitty:
I let you push me past the breaking point
I stood f...

Parquet Courts - Mardi Gras Beads Lyrics
Your mind sings some lyrics like we're memory
Your sad our goodbyes sound nostalgy
Your chords swung me from idolatry
I'm living like a vagabond, I just can't decide
When to leave
[?] are in the river to my mood it swings

Parquet Courts - Donuts Only Lyrics
My girl is a bowl of hash, a familiar looking rash
My girl's my secret stash, my shampooed pile of trash
My girl's a borealis-lit fjord
My girl's a summons ignored
My girl's a beer, freshly poured
A lost tribe's lib...
Parquet Courts - Disney P.T. Lyrics
My girl is a bowl of hash, a familiar looking rash
My girl's my secret stash, my shampooed pile of trash
My girl's a borealis-lit fjord

Parquet Courts - One Man, No City Lyrics
Where I'm from, no one lived there
I look back now, nothing's changed
Where I'm from now, still
No one lives there
Look back again and lock the door.
I maintain, I still remain
One man solitary
And no city

Ascend The Hill - Sing Lyrics
This we know, the Lord is God
And we are yours, we are your own
We understand we know the truth
You made us yours we're yours alone
So we enter in, into your gates with thanksgiving
For you are good
And your mercy will d...
Parquet Courts - No Ideas Lyrics
What could I even say to you Rene?
If I could stop reacting then I'd be acting like your fool because
What could I even say to you Rene?
I could follow you but then you'd never see me right behind you
I went to a shrink and he fo...
Parquet Courts - Keep It Even Lyrics
There's a drawer in my house that I try
To keep closed but it's open
There's a commitment that I made to be
Somewhere but it's broken
An oblique mantra in my head
It lies there
On the floor
Like a bed that would collapse...
Parquet Courts - Pathos Prairie Lyrics
Faster than hope flies cold through my veins
Faster than cruelty could drain it out
I commit crimes and I call them mistakes
Nothing denies like a heart in doubt
This I know
People flow like streams where I bathe
Then drift along to a forei...
Parquet Courts - Back To Earth Lyrics
I was biding my time, desperately, I walked the line
Between health and poverty
Looked into a face, all my thoughts they were replaced
I had the nerve to call it soul
Get love where you find it
It's the only fist we have to fight with...
Parquet Courts - Paraphrased Lyrics
Can't be quoted, it's hard to say
Paralyzed
Doesn't move, it just blinks its eyes
Paranoid
Just another trap to avoid
Parallel
Never crosses, goes straight as hell
It's child-like, persuading
It's night-time lactat...
Parquet Courts - Outside Lyrics
I saw a name in the graveyard that I knew
Glowing, like the neon in a lounge light
Spelled just the same as the twinge that crawls through you
As it passes slowly through a fast night
Dear everything I've harmed, the fault lies on my t...
Parquet Courts - Stoned & Starving Lyrics
I was walking through Ridgewood, Queens.
I was flipping through magazines.
I was so (stoned and starving) so stoned and starving.
Well, I was reading ingredients,
Asking myself "should I eat this?"
I was so (stoned and starving) ...
Parquet Courts - Extinction Lyrics
Making the distinction between life and lore
Odds favor the former when you wear a mask
Masochism forming in the reflection and
I'm trying not to turn into a psychopath
Better to have lost it then to find it tossed out
That's what...

Joseph Arthur - NYC Man Lyrics
Leigh Nash - Chicago Lyrics
I was dreaming about Chicago
And your face was everywhere
There were no words to soothe me
There was no comfort there
The days were different darlin'
A different face, a different year
And I'd never been so lonely
No...
Parquet Courts - Borrowed Time Lyrics
I was feeling nostalgic for the days when
My thoughts dripped on to my head from the ceiling
I remember the feeling of the museless existence
Of the drunk, bored and listless
Endless waiting for something that I knew wasn't coming
And...
Parquet Courts - Total Football Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We are conductors of sound, heat and energy
And I bet that you thought you had us figured out from the start
We are conduits of clear electricity
Now you're back on the pitch to take the apparatus apart
You're an anc-ien...
Parquet Courts - Freebird II Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I've learned how not to miss the age of tenderness
That I am so lucky to have seen once
And now that I've become older I've learned how to brush over
My history and how it's sequenced
When I think about you I s...
Parquet Courts - Two Dead Cops Lyrics
Framed plant portrait
On the wall
Christmas commercial
How many times
Somebody shouted
"Last call?"
And I knew he means it
At least this night
Stained white sweater
Fluorescent light
One quarter short
"Get me next time"
