So Alive
02:35

Watching you decide to be the one.
Walking and swaying to the beat of none.
Lip gloss and tattoos and hand-stitched bell bottoms.
You gotta know why I feel so alive.
I'm so alive. I'm so alive. I'm so alive.
When we lay down on the grass together,
making out, making some moves, everything gets better.
You gotta know I why I feel so alive.
I'm so alive. I'm so alive. I'm so alive.
But are we happy? Yes, we are happy, happy to love.
I see the daylight, but is the sunshine really enough for a paper sun?
I feel like I'm floating along in a dream
and I hope I don't wake up from the feeling.
I don't really know why I feel so alive.
I'm so alive. I'm so alive. I'm so alive.

Anna's got a crush on a goth coke dealer,
Yea she's gonna lose her mind.
Anna's got a crush on a goth coke dealer,
He never feeds her no line.
Uh-uh-uh-uh Uh-Huh Uh-uh-uh-uh
All the hippy chicks take the Green Tortoise,
Joey takes it all the time.
All the hippy chicks take the Green Tortoise,
Joey's never scored in his life.
Uh-uh-uh-uh Ole'!!! Uh-uh-uh-uh
Going down the Hillhurst on a Sunday,
We ain't never gonna see to be seen.
Maybe a drink up at the Rustic and
A little "MMM-MMM" in between.
Uh-uh-uh-uh Ohh-La-La La-La-La-La
Textual, sextual, CGI effectual,
Always making love to your cell-phone.
Emotional devotion to your locomotion,
You always will buy but never sell.
Di-Da-Di-Da Zsa-Zsa Di-Da-Di-Da
Love is all we want.
Love is all we want.
Love is all we want.
Love is all we want.

Cholita
03:50
|
|

Standing on the corner of Sunset
Where the street meets the heat and the beat hits the one
You can listen to what I'm telling and move to what I'm selling
'bout a girl, a woman, a goddess of the sun.
Wearing brown leather boots that were calf high
And a tattooed dagger on her inner thigh
She's throwing signs "La Raza" will beat ya!
She's my funky hot mamma Cholita.
That's what I'm sayin'.
She's ambivalent. A stimulant. Emanating, penetrating,
undulating-hip-shaking, black mascara wearing,
Hair styled, Farrah swearing, laser beam eyes that got a bead
on me, even if her eyebrows are drawn with a Sharpie,
you know...you're good for me because you can destroy me
like an earthquake could sink California.
Oh...Cholita, Cholita be mine.
Oh...Cholita, Cholita be mine.
Won't you give me all your love?
And I will give it back to you.
Say you will. Say you will be mine.
When it comes to push and shovin',
You know there's only one kind of lovin'
for my Miss "Master of Faster than a Natural Disaster".
Yea...she's superstitious, mmm...bubblicious, diggin' those
frazy nails quite vicious, she's got more color than a rainbow,
She drops lines like Summer..."No Class".
Oh...Cholita, Cholita be mine.
Oh...Cholita, Cholita be mine.
Won't you give me all your love?
And I will give it back to you.
Say you will. Say you will be mine.
That's all I'm sayin'.

Drive...Driving in Los Feliz
I got a little high
Gotta get some pie
Drive...Driving in Los Feliz
It's getting dark
There's no place to park
Gonna see some friends in my '83 Benz
Got the windows down and a Chairman Mao smile
Drive...Driving in Los Feliz
I never go for a stroll
I'm a pinche huero
Drive...Driving in Los Feliz
It's getting dark
Maybe go to Griffith Park
Pumping mixtape JB's on my JVC
A hazy golden sun and a ruby sky
Drive...Driving in Los Feliz
I got a little high
Gotta Get some pie

Friends Fur Life
02:42

"No, no, no we're just friends!"
She laughed and pushed me away.
D-D-D-Don't call me sweet dear, don't call me nice
I don't have the nerve to say, to say that
I wanna be your lover.
I don't wanna be your friend.
"No, no, no!" You keep saying.
I'm tired of this game.
I'll put on this furry head for you honey,
I'll be your bear and you'll be my bunny.
I wanna be your lover.
I don't wanna be your friend.

Cul-De-Sac

I'm just driving.
Something tells me this is unreal
and something tells me not to care,
So I'll just keep on driving
lost in a Cul-De-Sac.
The sun is up and the moon is out
lost in a Cul-De-Sac.
Yesterday, today , and tomorrow
circle around me. They circle
like they're lost...
lost in a Cul-De-Sac.
