Track Name: Museums with Girlfriends
Asleep at the bus stop or awake in my dreams
Where all my favorite former girlfriends still hang out and never leave
I thought by now I'd have figured out where I'm supposed to be
But I just sleep until it's dark out on the days that I have free

Get out while you still can

Sometimes I miss the east coast where I left all my best friends
I awoke to find to my surprise that one day college ends
So you can find me riding BART to buy cheap shirts out in the Mission
You'll sit down and say man life's so great, John look what you've been missing

I visit museums with girlfriends that I will never meet
I can't forget what you told me the day I turned twenty-three
That the worst in life is free
But I hope you'll wait for me
Track Name: Crucifix
Hanging like a crucifix in your backyard after school
Shaking every time we kiss, getting baptized in your pool
I hope when summer that everyone knows that I've got dibs on you
And when winter ends all of your other friends find something else to do
Let's take the day and just watch TV
We'll put on my old Clone High DVD
You love to say that this such a waste

Hate the time you spend with everyone until it's done

I almost bled to death in the backseat of my car
You drove me home to Pleasanton, we went right back to the start
But there's no where left in this town to get drunk all by yourself
So could you pick me up? I'd rather try my luck than just hang here on your shelf

So I dream of scenes in movies
And long for lost routine
You can't circle to plans you had
Plans you made with people that you never really get the chance to see
Track Name: Baby Doomers
Could you drop me at the bank?
I gotta bury my paycheck with the money that I've saved over the last sixteen months.
You're at home in bed pretending the rent's not due.
Rest your tired head.
We're covered for now, but soon we'll be gone.

And when you die, at least it's free.
They can't charge you for anything.
No overdraft fees, no bills to be paid.
So I'll ride my bike to a thousand more interviews,
I'm gonna fight until that day.

You better dress for success, you never know who's looking.
You did your best, no one's questioning that.
But make way, you gotta move,
we've got moms and dads who lost what they made.
They never knew what they had.

Could you meet me in my room?
'Cause tonight's for the lovers.
Who cares what we do, at least we're alone.
Get a haircut in the morning for another week of job hunting.
Think of all the places you'll go.

And when I die, at least it's free.
They can't charge me for anything.
No credit card fees, no loans to be paid.
When we finally have a home
and they've learned not to fuck with us,
Swear we won't make their mistakes

I swear I won't make their mistakes
