Due South 04:05
Due South From posthumous cities, We travel counties From barriers in the north, Antinomians with amnesia No words exist, The pig latin of your stutter Trapped in towns And free in towns The narcotics arrive, Disrupting the spine Before we hit the wall of power Soft as shock treatment, That guy's a wretched red This body wants to get down This body wants to weigh in I'll take it in pieces I'll take it all This body wants to get down This body wants a war Abandoned brothers Social Security mothers We can't stick around Waiting for everything to drown It was safe and warm In my sleeping bag Green gold and the I-5 way Due south but sometimes back again Before we hit the wall of power Not like shock treatment Efficient like your worst friend This body wants to get down This body wants a way in We got burned I'll take it all This body wants to get down This body wants a war I'll take it in pieces I'll take it all This body wants to get down This body wants a war

Donna Summer 03:10
DONNA SUMMER 800 milliamps At 1 to 6 seconds Depression is a threshold You come home To Donna Summer You lose libido You protect your soul Eating at the food court You come home To Donna Summer Trouble - Goodbye Hope - Breath Machinery twitches slightly Low standards - Common sense It’s been years since you noticed What your body used to do It’s not like something’s missing Now you know what to do You howl at intelligence With every setting sun It’s too personal You sleepwalk To Donna Summer They filled you up And altered your stuff I mean - you volunteered You slow down To Donna Summer Trouble - Goodbye Hope - Breath Machinery twitches slightly Low standards - Common sense It’s been years since we noticed What your body used to do It’s not like something’s missing Now you know what to do The stars above us twinkle and wink We’ve got exaggerated time I’d like to talk to you this week I like to keep wasting my mind

Call The Cops I'm waiting for Mikel Growing dizzy Collapse against the wall Feel it all Take it back It's yours My friends are My friends are Blackbirds & wires At your throat Float above the city Map every channel This is no World to win Feel it all Yank emergency cord It's yours I'm waiting for Mikel Soft hands on the bus Softer than mine Growing dizzy You should eat something Of course My friends are My friends are Blackbirds & wires We'll use what we have
