Mike Doughty Album

Oh, nectarine
You're the one to coax the darkness out of me
Yeah, out of me

Oh, nectarine
You're the one who showed the ghost to me
Don't gaslight me

Oh, nectarine
Let's run away from life and pass the can
Cash on demand

Oh, nectarine
Let's burn and build and burn without a plan
Let's ditch the van

Happiness is coming for you
Happiness is coming for you
When you sleep, when you're dreaming
On your face what you're feeling

Oh, nectarine
Are you free to lay the daylight out of me
Relentlessly?

Oh yes, I am
Yes, I truly am your true and trusted man
And we're on the lam

[No lyrics]

Wait for your train in my car by the station
On the wheel my hands are burning from the cold

What do you dream as you doze against the window
And will you tell the dream when you come home

Virility (?) is in the house of lesser then (?)
And in breakfast we get by on charm alone

The sun beats down on immaculate beige carpets
And the plank of spoons bounce off the off-white walls

I flipped through the music that you left
All the old cassettes that lean against the wall

I ate all the peaches off the shelf
And I rearranged the cans into a poem

Vicious mobs of candy-ravers stalk the night
And Methadonians sleep right where they stand

A weeping tranny is craddling a steak knife
And you're happ'ly slugging Rob Roys with your man

I fold all the sweaters in the drawer
And I smelled your smell and I held one to my nose

Lay awake to the drizzle on window as the swan neck of the fan sweeps back and forth

Something is reaching me now
Something that lives in the dark of my mind
It's like a small thought is gone
it's like a millstone ground it to sand, and

Hey soothsayer listen up
You dont know who I am
Old friend what if you were right?
Don't wanna be that man

Never known to nap
Not gonna sleep it out
I wanna burn you
Yes, I wanna burn you down

I have a troublesome girl
She treats me like a parole officer
And she checks in from time to time
Always insisting everything is fine

And hey pitboss listen here
Don't up and throw me out
Oh darling back me up
Markers showing the route

Never known to nap
Not gonna sleep it out
I wanna burn you
Yes I wanna burn you

Japanese cowboys put their snowsuits on
I'm gonna burn you
Yes I'm gonna burn you down

Yes I'm gonna burn you down

Scratchless, stepped from accident
Looking for a place near the Path to rent
Champion time waster
Give up the claim, not chased nor chaser
Popped ya with a dull lead pencil
Dig up the dirt with a small utensil
Gotta do it on foot, not vehicular
Get a snack, but I'm not particular
I'm not shy, I'm a player, shunner
Ronald Reagan and a space ray gunner
Raise the supereminence
Fell asleep in a video conference
Fat man, Shit outta luck
Seek the favor of the muckity mucks
I got fun fun persuasion
Smart girl not the crazy one
Blast faster plaster postmaster
Go bleeker union aster
Yes I'm made of corn and wheat
Boots on
Tramp on the street

Get lifted, yeah get lifted
Pleasure on credit
Get lifted, yeah get lifted
Chase the mermaid
Chase chase the mermaid
Pleasure on credit
Get sad but don't get glum
Don't sleep slurpin on the laudenum
Slutty fat girls in wedges
John Paul Jones, bustle in the hedge
Late night, Cold rock thriller
Roll up the world like a pillar
My fluid is spinal
Yes I'm better
Yes that's final
Can not proove nor can not jerk
Mellow man and men at work
Got the best of the new of the next iteration
Get together like a unification
Well I'm a coaster you're a flume
Yes I blossom Yes I bloom

Get wide, because I'm spacious
Got words, but not loquacious
I do not shimmy, do not sulk
Throw around your incredible bulk
Get lifted, yeah get lifted
Pleasure on credit
Get lifted, yeah get lifted
Chase the mermaid
Chase, chase the mermaid
Pleasure on credit

Get lifted, yeah get lifted
Get lifted, yeah get lifted
Chase the mermaid
Chase, chase the mermaid
