Unexamined Life
(lyrics: brusca • music: kapoor)
Plane crashed last night
It could have happened cuz I saw it on tv
How am I supposed to
Believe all these possibilities
Like patience and safety
How am I even supposed to sleep at night
I'm playing solitaire
Cuz I got what it takes to feel all right
(chorus)
Sometimes it's easier
To live in an unexamined life
Sometimes it's easier to
Shut it off and roll the dice
Sometimes it's easier
To find a face that you can hide behind
Sometimes it's easier to
Live in an unexamined life
Sometimes I just close my eyes
Pretend that nothing matters anyway
If I don't look at me
Maybe I will just go away
At least I fought
Sometimes I can even find the spot
If I could bottle it up
I'd take it home and never stop
(chorus)
I got caught so what
I'm hanging up pretty pictures of my life
I'll last as long
As I don't have to look from side to side
I climb and I slide
Sometimes it just feels so good
To decorate my rut
You know I'd get out if I only could
(chorus)
Burnout
(lyrics: brusca • music: kapoor/brusca)
I'm falling in annalisa's sky
She's pissed but I don't wanna fight
She's cozy but I'm mostly right
I'm falling in annalisa's sky
I was sitting at the bar
I was thinking that I should have
Gone home an hour ago
But I'm large
And I am full of wit and alcohol
Don't hold my hand under the table
Slip a lucky ring on to my finger
I gotta go to the bathroom
And argue with myself
(chorus)
With rosie and what's her name
With rosie and what's her name
With rosie and what's her name
I can't remember
With rosie and what's her name
With rosie and what's her name
With rosie and what's her name
I can't remember
I'm falling in annalisa's sky
She's pissed but I don't wanna fight
She's cozy but I am mostly right
I'm falling in annalisa's sky
The yellow light is attracting rosie
And some of her charming friends
I'm contemplating leaving
But I know that I'll be back again
Cuz everybody is looking at me
The pass-out club says you owe me a drink
Sitting next to jesus
Thumbing through magazines
(chorus)
I can't begin to believe how
Embarrassing this whole thing got
And I really liked you a lot
But now I'm such a burnout
To say that I tried would be a lie
Don't look like at me like you're so lost
And I can't begin to believe how
Embarrassing
Nobody ever told me how Embarrassing
I just can't begin to believe how
Embarrassing this whole thing got
Good Summer
(lyrics: brusca • music: brusca/kapoor)
I went to school for 13 long years
But I don't remember anyone
We got ourselves in trouble everyday in class
But we'd forget about each other
When the summer would come
Yeah you won't remember me
When the summer comes
But you said that we would be friends forever
Well here comes september
I can't believe you're such a nice guy
I tried to keep it in touch with the esp
But the faces and the places
Seemed so distant to me
Sometimes I really wonder where you are now
(chorus)
Have a good summer have a good time
Maybe we can do it again
When the summers at an end
But we just can't do it
Like they do it in the movies
So we'll just have to pretend
Have a good summer have a good time
Maybe I'll see you around
Some where some time
But you're not sandy and I'm not danny
So we'll just have to get by
Oh yeah all right
Maybe I will see you later tonight
Oh yeah so what
You really didn't mean that much
Another year down four to go until we're out
Don't it make you wanna shout
Don't it make you wanna shout
Have a super summer and stay out of trouble
Better write it all down so you never forget
I never want to forget about these times
(chorus)
Sign my yearbook
And maybe I will see you
When the summer time is over
(chorus)
Just stay cool stay sweet stay young
Give me a call sometime and have a good summer
Rio Linda
(lyrics: penney • music: penney/kapoor)
Me and sterile darryl the a-man and nicko
Went down to watch the show
Down in san francisco
It got dark and lucy showed up
Oh why oh why oh why did I grow up
New year's eve well I couldn't believe
I watched you growing up
And caught you looking at me
Funny how it made you grit your teeth
Doing what we did the irony
Thanks for driving cuz I couldn't see
But I stayed up all night
I was watching the tv screen
Birthdays at the pizza and pipes
We paid the price for such a sheltered life
(chorus)
But I never lived never ever lived
No I never ever ever lived there
I never lived down in rio linda
Lucy said we could never go home
I never lived down in rio linda
Lucy said we could never ever go home
16 ounce cans we were in deep
Drove my brown champ down
I was just trying to keep it straight
Forgot the lines we made a pact
Drove all the way home
To the repo man sound track
Darryl's gone but that's how it goes
I heard he lost the truth right up his nose
Lucy gone but I'm all right
We paid the price for such a sheltered life
(chorus)
Sunset Mess Around
(lyrics: brusca • music: brusca/kapoor)
when I first got up I though I was in luck
But the pink sky was pouring
Down from overhead
I said so what maybe I should load up
Take a look and see what else
Might exist out there
So long I'm so tired
See you later or maybe not
Is this the place where I find out
It's just a goodbye hand shake
Looking for a holiday
Maybe I should take it
Maybe I should take it
Goodbye handshake
Here comes the aftertaste
I just need a break from the
Sunset mess around
Now it's later
Later than I would like to think
Maybe I need a sheboygan holiday
Drinking stroh's light kamikaze red light
Maybe it's a good time to some no doze
(chorus)
We had it good I never will forget her
But I don't need to tell you cuz
I think you already know
It was a knock out down in the third round
Talking bout a come back
But the tv generation says
(chorus)

Doll House
(lyrics: brusca • music: kapoor/brusca)
I sat on a hill watching the girls play
Shannon in a t-shirt sat not too far away
Bobbie was a boxer she had a sharp razor
Blood was on her fists by the time
She entered the seventh grade
So I wanna play with the girls
I wanna hang out with the girls
But they won't let me inside the doll house
I've tried so many times
But they will not sympathize
No they won't let me inside the doll house
Shawnee threatened to kill herself
With a kitchen knife
At megan mckinzie's drama party
Late last saturday night
She locked herself in the bathroom
So we broke down the door
Bobbie came in with her razor
And I don't remember anymore
(chorus)
The boys are cruel the girls are fine
And I just want to get inside your doll house
The men are old the girls are fine
And I just want to stay inside the doll house
Why don't you meet me in the back of the basement
You've got that lipstick all over your face
I wanna play won't let me stay
I wanna play won't let me stay
I just want to stay
The boys are cruel the girls are fine
The boys are cruel the girls are fine
The boys are cruel the girls are fine
The boys are cruel the girls are fine
Confidence
(lyrics: brusca • music: brusca/kapoor)
I thought you were my good friend
But now I'm hanging on the fringe
And you're bringing me down
I called you up to fill you in
But all you did was sit and listen
Then you wrote me the letter
In your mom and dad's deep blue mg
You strung me out and set me free
Not counting all the times I sat and ridiculed
You wrote the book
And sold the delivery so well
Behind your sweaters on the shelf
When I look back now it seems so obvious
You had a heart above all your eyes
You had a notebook full of fear
And fear was keeping you inside
A heart above all your eyes
And I was so amazed when I thought
I saw you smile with confidence
Hey I will never forget you
You meant a lot to me
You constantly remind me of someone
Trying to get high on life
Psycho norman's all alone
Sitting in the kitchen by the telephone
It just won't ring he can't believe
It's not the way it's suppose to be
You thought I liked being depressed
Maybe I'll just suppress it all
Maybe I'll take you apart and put you back alive
(chorus)
Picked it up on the front porch
Did not know what it was for
Bus number 36
I sat all mixed up with stupidity
Was I free or could I know
The notebook failed to exist
The night you kissed me on the beach
It all just seemed so out of reach
The tide goes in and out each day
Some things are easy to explain
But I read the book at least a thousand times
You wrote the book
And sold the delivery so well
Behind your sweaters on the shelf
When I look back well it seems so obvious
(chorus)
14 Miles Away
(lyrics: brusca • music: brusca/kapoor)
Long ago in the kingdom
Lived a man who had a reason
But he drifted through the seasons
Until his hair turned gray
Driving back from santa rosa
Tow truck driver rc cola
How was I suppose to know
That the v-8 engine was gonna blow
How was I suppose to know
Dr. eddy how you doing
No I did not see the movie
But I heard that she missed me
Maybe she just wants to kiss
High school was never love
Until I woke up
Midnight movie rocky horror
Maybe she thought that I ignored her
Dear mr. kennedy
A week ago I know just what to say
But now it's monday and I'm so confused
Dear mr. kennedy
She found out that I like the pain
Cuz I saw it coming
14 miles away away away
I saw it 14 miles away away away
I saw it 14 miles away
Late at night I paid attention
She was too afraid to mention
The back of her car
Had its own intentions
Down southern humboldt county
Drinking mickey's big mouth candy
Not a problem I'm surviving
All my friends are terrified
All my friends said
(chorus)
How can I get you to do
Just what I want you to do
How can I make you move
Just like that
How can I get you to see
That world is spinning all around me
How can I fix you into coming back
Into coming back
(chorus)
Xmas '79
(lyrics: brusca • music: brusca/kapoor)
If I had a time machine
And I could make it fly
I say take me back to xmas morning 1979
Old man winter is just around the corner
Thinking too much cuz it's december
January 24th hanging on the door knob
Never thought I'd miss you and then you were gone
And I was spending xmas all alone all alone
I was spending xmas all alone
I was full of innocence
I was full of fun
I was full of conversation when we had begun
Plastic doesn't matter when the stars are aligned
Just like the xmas that I met you back in '79
Xmas that I met you back in '79
Xmas that I met you back in '79
Plastic doesn't matter when the stars are aligned
Just like the xmas that I met you back in '79
My star wars t-shirt almost made it
But princess leia got old and faded
K-tel, barbells, dream police
Singing "i want you to want me!"
(chorus)
There ain't no presents left under the tree
And she's gotta believe I wasn't ever gonna leave
Until the swat team came and started making a mess
Brought a GI-Joe with the kung-fu grip
(chorus)
Next Life
(brusca)
When I was 13
I snuck into the movies
I saw animal house
With dominic and rudy
Sometimes I feel like
My life comes to a standstill
Like walking in the deep snow
Up a very steep hill
I was standing in the river
Singing a new wave song
I pass around the polaroids
But I can't remember anyone
Open up the bottle
Pass the rush around the table
The morning crew is just arriving
On the 6 o'clock horizon
Told me once told me twice
Walking home alone broke
Joker's wild in the next life
I got lucky in the next life
I got the money in the next life
I got the girl in the next life
Don't think twice
Joker's wild in the next life
I listened to what the coach said
Fourth place is up ahead
Eighth grade track star
Gotta wonder where you are
Johnny got a lollipop
He took it to the bus stop
The catholic school girls
Never worried about their cruelty
(chorus)
That's life in the next life
That's life in the next life
That's life in the next life
Don't think twice
Joker's wild in the next life
