No NoNo No 02:57
My depression's always there for me, the impression rots the self esteem Not everyone around you is guaranteed to give a fuck (a duck) Not a scant of hope, I'm preaching mope, I'm that kinda guy, I'll build a moat. You'll see me cry before you see me gloat, my cocaine drips, aw fuck a duck! But of course, the unspoken universal, every creature's born controversial Some ancient pricks done wrote a book, and if they never did, I'm sure we'd all still be crooks Then I face my monsters, I face my demons, look 'em in the eye, tell 'em to grow up, and I see they've never tried What they say tugs on me like the tide, they say, "No NoNo No!" (x8) Since the dawn of every god damn thing, way before the dawn of any king Even gas, though it don't breathe is shitting, killing, eating, raping everything! Everyone is fun for a few months, 'til you've seen em pull all their little stunts They're your friends, and they do love you, now go outside, join em shitting, killing, raping everything! But of course, the unspoken universal, every creature's born controversial Some ancient pricks done wrote a book, and if they never did, I'm sure we'd all still be crooks Then I face my monsters, I face my demons, look 'em in the eye, tell 'em to grow up, and I see they've never tried What they say tugs on me like the tide, they say, "No NoNo No!" (x lots) Your monsters are afraid of the dark of bigger monsters under their beds or hiding in the closet, just for a lark. They'll sneak up behind em and they will smack 'em right upside their little heads and they will be afraid that it will make them dead, them dead, them dead...

Diver City 03:54
Welcome to Diver City, cleverly located wherever you sit pretty, comfortably. You don't have to dive right in, you can float on in, open up a drive-in, watch contently. Welcome to Diver City, welcome to Diver City, were you aware… Welcome Diver City, please don't be alarmed, not everyone's armed, and we're easily charmed, There are no intervention intentions, does this mention get your attention at all? Welcome to Diver City, welcome to Diver City, welcome to Diver City were you aware… We've got the hostess with the mostest, delivering narcosis, with a Hostess on the side... 
Welcome to Diver City, welcome to Diver City, welcome to Diver City were you aware… That you can see with everything! That you can see with everything! That you can see with everything! (x lots)

I dunno how to be a social man. I dunno how to be a social man. No ma'am. No one knows me outside a wacky exterior. Outside I feel so very inferior. Inside I'm sure I'm far superior. If reversed, I'd fuse those pebbles to a meteor. But, I dunno how to be a social man. I dunno how to be a social man. No ma'am. I talk to no one on the bus. I'd rather sit back, I don't see the fuss. Everyone thinks I'm simple and dumb... As they talk loud, we equally shun. And I will watch them and observe their behavior; Live beside them, but only as a quiet neighbor; Without my own exertion of joining in berates. Am I a lost elder Silverback; makin' tools, drownin' among monkey fools? Watchin' young chimps bitin', screamin', and throwin' stools? Oh, is there a zoo keeper, a scientist peeper, someone writin' papers, someone studyin' me? Maybe, can you help me? And I'm glad I'm not a social man! I'm glad I'm not a social man! I don't really wanna be a social man. I don't really wanna be a social man. No, ma'am Social man... Social man.

Past Shit 05:30
Is it true we don't know what we got til it's gone? We lose alotta stuff, constantly shedding mass. Or are we blinded by nostalgia, romanticizing the past, maybe not fully enjoying the present cast? Well you can miss it all you want, but all did you was whine your routine didn't treat you kind enough. But you had more money, you were called funny. Was it simpler back then? Well, your emotions never had it so tough. And I'm still far off, but, I'm getting pretty close to who i thought i was. I'm still far off, but, I'm getting pretty close to who i thought i was. Playing in the parking lot, squishing all the bugs you'd caught; days were longer, but you were yelled at a lot. You were newly formed, still amazed by your big bang, but the stars you formed only pulled and fought. I just remembered the hallway I walked everyday, the crooked sign I drove by, the really cute guy and his old phone number. I wonder if the hallway has the same smell, if the sign ever fell, if the guy ever moved like he said he would that September… And I'm still far off, but, I'm getting pretty close to who i thought i was. I'm still far off, but, I'm getting pretty close to who i thought i was. I miss the way that you were, I miss the way that you were, I miss the way that you were, or maybe just the idea of her! I miss the way that I was, the wish the way that i was, the fish that fell from above, oh wait a minute, I'm confused, fuck! And I'm still far off, but, I'm getting pretty close to who i thought i was. I'm still far off, but, I'm getting pretty close to who i thought i was. (x lots)

I'm So Sorry 06:48
Me and my black hole, we did it again. You got too close, and we sucked you right in. And me and my black hole, we'll do it again. Come a little closer, we'll suck you in … uh oh. I had a blue star, he was way too big; I told him he would blow, and of course he sure did. He left behind him a such beautiful mess, But at the center, a sad hole is all that's left. I can't help but think how we coulda went far, he was my star… uh oh. And I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry 'bout that! I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry 'bout that! I apologize deeply for that. Me and my black hole, we did it again. You got too close, and we sucked you right in. And me and my black hole, we'll do it again. Come a little closer, we'll suck you in … uh oh. I try to keep my cool as much as he was blue, but when you get too close, i forget to close the flue. Every time I swear I'm getting wiser, 'Til you disappear past the event horizon. Just can't help but think how we coulda went far, he was my star… uh oh. He was such a pretty, pretty, pretty star He was such a pretty, pretty, pretty little star... (x lots) And I miss him. I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry 'bout that! I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry 'bout that! (x lots) And the Mexicans go, "Ay yi yi, ay yi yi yi yi"... (x lots)

Keys 04:48
Maybe you don't wanna use the same key for several new songs, 'cause you think it all sounds the same; even though it doesn't have to, 
if you'd use your god damn whimsy. Ah ahhh, ah ahhh, always changing keys. Ahhh, ah ahhhh, ah ahhhh, ah ahh ahh ahh ahhh 
ah ah ahh, ah ahhh, ah ahhh... You caught me in a stream, naked, it was ten years ago. In that dream I had just last night, it lasted ten years or so, or so. And you were proud of me, said, "don't forget your original shape; 
they'll bend you in every which way, don't let them take your default away"... They'll take it away... Maybe you don't wanna use the same key for several new songs, 'cause you think it all sounds the same; even though it doesn't have to, 
if you'd just be god damn witty. Ah ahhh, ah ahhh, always changing keys. Ahhh, ah ahhhh, ah ahhhh, ah ahh ahh ahh ahhh 
ah ah ahh, ah ahhh, ah ahhh... You caught me in a stream, naked, it was ten years ago. In that dream I had just last night, it lasted ten years or so, or so. And you were proud of me, said, "don't forget your original shape; 
they'll bend you in every which way, don't let them take your default away"... They'll take it away...

I'm sittin' here watchin' all your personality drain from you. Drippin' out slowly, but surely, like a stalactite. 
Creating these trippy, pointy, cool stalagmites; I'm takin' pictures and spelunking with a flashlight. 
I can evolve if you won't shed light! So help me make me please you so I can please myself and the world! It was quite apparent to me at that moment that he didn't know what to say. 
Great Scott, I say, with this eye sight, I'm seeing more every single day. Great Scott, I say, with this eye sight, I'm seeing more every single day! But how could you tell me what you don't know? 
And don't you dare tell me you let yourself go! And how could you tell me you need another round? Don't you dare tell me you let yourself down, you let yourself down, you let yourself down... We've figured out how to live way too long for nothin'! No singin' 'tween the lines in your own little song, 'less it makes somethin'. The problem here is nobody ever shuts up. Nobody ever just stops and looks up. 
 Shut up, turkey; dump that stuffing! So help me make me feel as though I can please myself and the world! It was quite apparent to me at that moment that he didn't know what to say. Great Scott, I say, with this eye sight, I'm seeing more every single day. Great Scott, I say, with this eye sight, I'm seeing more every single day! But how could you tell me what you don't know? 
And don't you dare tell me you let yourself go! 
How could you tell me you need another round? 
Don't you dare tell me you let yourself down, let yourself down, you let yourself down... And I'm pretty sure that I realize it!! So I don't know if I can sterilize it!! Yeah, I don't know if I can sterilize it!! And I don't know if I can sterilize it, keep it inside-a, deal with their shiza... 
FUCK.
8.
Look at the world now, it looks like a bitch. I guess it's still big, but with uglier, tiny bits. 
And Great Scott, I say, "I'm learnin' every day." Yeah, Great Scott, I think, "I'm learnin' every day." I went skinny dipping, I dove right in the sky. Forgot I can't swim, I drowned so high. And Great Scott, I say, "I'm learnin' every day." Yeah, Great Scott, I think, "I'm learnin' every day." Since you up and left us, this is your song. 
Why'd you up and leave me? You know I'm not strong. 
And Great Scott, I say, "I'm learnin' every day." Yeah, Great Scott, I think, "I'm learnin' every day." Look at the sky now, I wanna help it unfold. Produce black mold in the pretty household. 
And Great Scott, I say, "I'm learnin' every day." Yeah, Great Scott, I think, "I'm learnin' every day." As we pour into the tube, we begin to look like cubes. Then we end up in a room, perhaps our final resting tomb. 
When suddenly, we're dropped in into a glass, where we start to release our mass. We become all our carbonaceous surroundings, 
but we water away the bubbles, but that's alright, who was counting?! Now impossibly, we're two square spheres, shooting bolts back and forth! 
One hundred, thirty two million years later, a stray bolt hits off to the north. And suddenly, a rip in the blue; well it was kinda black, but now it's kinda blue. 
We become all our strange new surroundings, 
and like geysers, bubbles reform; that's right, now we're counting! But I've still got the scars from the last time. From the last time. From the last time. 
So I've still got the stars from the last time! ... x many

Top Notch 02:06
Yeah, you're real top notch there, buddy. You aint a real quail, that thing's held on with Silly Putty! Yeah, people laugh harder in numbers, it's true. But if you're laughing' maliciously, I swear to God, we'll viciously drop you off before we even get to The Moon. The Moon... And I think you knew exactly where I was comin' from, My heart screamed like Chewbacca, and my brain had just cum! (repeat) Yeah, you're real top notch there, buddy. You aint a real quail, that thing's held on with Silly Putty! Yeah, people laugh harder in numbers, it's true. But if you're laughing' maliciously, I swear to God, we'll viciously ditch you before we even get to The Moon. The Moon. And I think you knew exactly where I was comin' from, As my heart screamed like Chewbacca, and my brain had just cum! (repeat) My heart, my brain, they both screamed as Chewbacca, and I swear to god they were able to cum! My heart and brain just came as Chewbacca! My heart and brain just came as Chewbacca...

So gather up your missionaries, You no longer have to hurry. 
Yeah, all we do is worry over stupid fuckin' shit. Well, everyone's too busy with their stupid fuckin' shit. We have all these opinions we don't tell anyone. We all say nothin' as we puncture our lungs. I guess my job aint that bad, why on Earth would I quit? 
Guess I'll have a couple kids, buy some movies and sit. So gather up your missionaries, You no longer have to hurry. 
Yeah, all we do is worry over stupid fuckin' shit. 
 'Cause everyone's too busy with their stupid fuckin' shit. And your girlfriend, she's takin' Prozac, While our planet's sittin' back, takin' Prilosec! Your girlfriend's probably tired of how you treat her like a brat. And the planet, while entertained, is feelin' pretty fuckin' sick. 
 So gather up your missionaries, You no longer have to hurry. 
Yeah, all we do is worry over stupid fuckin' shit.
Yeah, everyone's too busy with their stupid fuckin' shit. 
We're all celestial siblings! Children of the stars. 
If we could snort our own powder, it'd be an enlightening shouter! We could see all kinds of things, Appreciate every ding. 
 But tribesmen, hippies, city slickers, and country hicks: we all survive as dicks. 
 Oh yeah, we all survive as dicks. Oh yeah, we all survive as dicks. Dicks, As dicks, As dicks, As dicks... But that's okay, I don't blame you. I don't blame any of you... That's unfortunate, huh; that's unfortunate, huh? (x lots)
11.
Fuck religion Fuck the Christians Fuck the Jews and the Muslims. Fuck your college, your expensive knowledge 
Fuck your team, fuck your baggage. None of it matters. Continue being matter. None of it matters! Continue up the ladder! Oo, you're nothin' but a poo You're nothin' but a fool You're nothin' but a tool You're nothin' but a poo You're nothin' but a fool You're nothin' but a tool... None of it matters... Fuck your city Fuck your town You've gotta be kidding, you're all fucking clowns. Fuck where you came from 
Fuck where you're going Fuck your ego and bald eagle. None of it matters. Continue being matter. None of it matters! Continue up the ladder! Oo, you're nothin' but a poo You're nothin' but a fool You're nothin' but a tool You're nothin' but a poo You're nothin' but a fool You're nothin' but a tool... None of it matters... Fuck your sports team 
Fuck your grand scheme 
Fuck your internet memes. Again, fuck your god Fuck your job If you're singin' along, you're a nob. None of it matters. Continue being matter. None of it matters. Continue up the ladder, oh! You promised diversity, that I would fit in! You told me all these amazing things, like i was a shoe-in! 
But I went to Diver City, it was all in ruins! Now I'm feelin' kinda shitty, negativity's brewin', oh! None of it matters... Fuck your hero Fuck your notice You're a zero, and you know this. Fuck your effort Fuck your black hole Fuck when you whine about a lack of beautiful things...

meh. 06:28
If it pleases and sparkles, may I take the floor for a moment? 
I'm just gonna wake up there anyway, so let me lie, be a gent. Would you do me a favor, and if you would, perhaps a solid? While I'm here, please bury me deep, build something, and legend me as a druid. 'Cause I'm done with enjoying most things. 
Because there's not enough beautiful things. I'm tired of waking up, oh please; Tell everyone i got up and did stuff today. I did stuff today. I did stuff today... Actually, I don't care; don't tell anyone shit, oh… If it pleases and sparkles, may I take the floor for a moment? 
I'm just gonna wake up there anyway, so let me lie, be a gent. Would you do me a favor, and if you would, perhaps a solid? While I'm here, please bury me deep, build something, and legend me as a druid. 'Cause I'm done with enjoying most things. 
Because there's not enough beautiful things. I'm tired of waking up, oh please; Tell everyone i got up and did stuff today. I did stuff today. I did stuff today... Actually, I don't care; don't tell anyone shit, oh. Someone asked me why I always tell myself no And I tell 'em, "dude that's all i know". My whole life, I've just been letting myself go, I'm just gonna go with the pathetic flow. With the pathetic flow. With the Pathetic flow… Sometimes you gotta go with the pathetic flow. With the Pathetic flow. With the pathetic flow… (x LOTS)
13.
I don't know. I don't know. 
I don't know! Yeah, I don't know! You know I used to be my very own person. Create this, come up with that, of course, swell, sure thing. 
Then I met you, now everything's completely changed. Suddenly, I think I forgot how to behave. Ay ay ay ay ayyy a ave. 
Ay ay ay ay ayyy a ave. But don't you dare tell me, "nobody really falls in love" That we all feel bubbly, then someone else less boring comes along. 
Then you start to say, "he makes me feel really young; 
i guess that other goofy dick I'm with was wrong for me all al-awww-aw aw aww, aw ong.". 
Aw-awww-aw aw aww, aw ong. But I don't know! Yeah I don't know! 
 Oh how am I supposed to take this information as constructive? How am I supposed to again be productive? When you supplied the electricity, I was conductive! 
 Now I don't know! Now I don't know! You tell me just to go back to being my own self. 
I used to be funny, 'til I seemed to misplace myself. 
You say, "don't let your boner block all the satellites; 
your GPS will fail you, and all I'll do is ail you". Uh oo oo, uh ooooo, uh ooo. Uh oo oo, uh ooooo, uh ooo. And don't you dare tell me, nobody really falls in love 
That we all feel bubbly, then someone else less boring comes along. Then you start to say, "he makes me feel really young; 
I guess that other goofy prick I'm with was wrong for me all al-awww-aw aw aww, aw ong.". 
Aw-awww-aw aw aww, aw ong. But I don't know! Yeah i don't know! 
 How am I supposed to take this information as constructive? How am I supposed to again be productive? 
When you supplied the electricity, I was conductive! 
Now I don't know! Yeah i don't know! And you tell me that you never ever feel the glue; 
That deep inside nobody really wants to be as two. 
Monogamy is but a game, love is just a ball and chain; 
Hollywood and the man end up with all of our change! Ay ay ay ay ayyy ange. Ay ay ay ay ayyy ange. And if you allow it to be, it's a never ending cycle! 
Don't you dare choose to spend your life with only Ted or Michael! 
Of course it's always fun at first, the butterflies and the petting; But then you'll only get fat, and die sick of settling! 
Grow accustom to routee ee een! No, that shit aint for mee e ee! Don't leave me here by myself! Don't leave me here with just myself! How am I supposed to take this information as constructive?! How am I supposed to again be productive?! When you supplied the electricity, I was conductive! Now I don't know! Yeah I don't know! Yeah I don't know! Yeah i don't know! 
Now I don't know. Yeah i don't know.
14.
Everyone, everybody knows. Everyone, everybody knows. Everybody knows, some day we all die. Everybody knows, somehow we'll lose our lives! So why are we; why are we so scared? I don't believe in a soul, but the idea is beautiful! I swear to you, I swear to God, I swear to everybody, it's alright to die. Everyone, everybody knows. Everyone, everybody knows. Everybody knows, someday you're just gonna die. Everybody knows, someday we'll lose our lives. But everybody still, everybody is so scared. It's okay to believe, but how on Earth could you know? You may not go up there, but you sure add to the air.

about

duffle band California

Since 2003, one man Duffle Band plays and records kind of quirky, kind of dark, kind of silly, kind of stark, often poppy, seldom cocky, very rock-y songs. Sometimes he does so very often, other times not so often (with a gap of 6 years between his 2nd & 3rd albums!). Sometimes he uses just an acoustic guitar and a tape recorder, other times he layers on piles of sound with a MacBook Pro yo. Yee. ... more
