  1. Introductory Saints

    gentlemen
    he said forever
    so we can talk about it, talk about it
    talk about it 'till it's all akimbo

    and if it's true that we've all forgotten something
    you can take a potent memory pill
    and we can reconstruct the past with a sail and a mast
    and we'll float on into the sunset

    our phones our wide open
    introductory saints
    you are the secretary of my security
    and I'm the czar of whatever it takes
    and darlin' one of us, one of us
    one of us is one of them

    watch your weapons
    there are those who do covet
    and the last thing we need is an obituary feed
    that scrolls with names that we all know

    and if it's true that we've all forgotten something
    you can take a potent memory pill
    and you'll remember why you're hear and you'll cry in your beer
    'cause the next week is gonna be rough

    our phones our wide open
    introductory saints
    you are the secretary of my security
    and I'm the czar of whatever it takes
    and darlin' one of us, one of us
    one of us is one of them

  2. That Ticking Sound You Hear

    I saw your name
    on a blacklist in the city
    assembled outright by committee
    they play to win, they play to win
    I've come around

    out of my mind
    out of context, on a substance
    in the bathroom of your apartment
    I've got a note from a doctor
    that this is allowed

    and all of these unbelievable villains
    come my way
    they hold up photos
    they say they know you
    you and I

    and that ticking sound hear
    let's pay it no mind
    let's pay it no mind
