My lover's in San Francisco

She didn't ask me to go

I wonder when I'll meet her man

I wonder will it kill me slow

(from now on, little guitar riffs after every two lines)

I cannot run away no more (no more)

Running in this endless hole (riff)

I ask myself to be gentle

Gentle with my lonely soul (riff)

My angel's calling down to get me

I fight him back with a "no"

The ticket's punched for me to go ... (slow guitar)

(chorus, faster tempo)

My lover in San Francisco

My lover in San Franc

My lover in- San Fran-cisco ... (pause)

To my love I will now go!

guitar solo

(repeat a verse)

(repeat line "My lover's in San Francisco" a bunch of times with clapping and a chorus of voices for a little while, then slow it down and then slowly sing "I wonder will it kill me slow")

San Francisco - MRobinson 2/7/09

This is my song

Isn't that unlucky boy

I get high
when I see you wheeling
Get high
when I see you dealing

And I know it's nobody's fault to show it
I know it's nobody's fault to show it

I've never been so high before
I know I'll be back for more and more 

I get high
when I see you walking
Get high
When I see you talking

And I know it's nobody's fault to show it
I know it's nobody's fault to show it

I've never been so high before
I know I'll be back for more and more

I got high
When I saw you naked
Got high
When I know you didn't fake it

I've never been so high before

I know I'll be back for more

So please don't walk out that door

Don't walk out that door 
Because I know I'll be back for more and more

I know I'll be back for more

I know I'll be back for more

I Get High (Don't Walk Away) - MRobinson 8/29/08

I get high
when I see you wheeling
Get high
when I see you dealing
You know
I'd like to see you out

And I know it's nobody's fault to show it
I know it's nobody's fault to show it
Oh no, it's nobody's fault to show it

I've never been so high before
I know I'll be back for more and more (echos off...)

I get high
when you're walking slowly
Get high
When I know you know me
Can I
Softly speak your name

And I know it's nobody's fault to show it
I know it's nobody's fault to show it
Oh no, it's nobody's fault to show it

I've never been so high before
I know I'll be back for more and more (echos off...)

I got high
When I saw you naked
Got high
When you didn't fake it
I sigh
When you walk away, away...
don't walk away

I've never been so high before
So please don't walk out that door

Don't walk out that door (I get high)
Don't walk out that door (don't walk away)
Don't walk out that door (I get high)
Don't walk out that door (don't walk away)
...repeat

I Get High (Don't Walk Away) - MRobinson 7/23/08

"Humans exist" - simple beat, very poppy, very cynical, simple riff

Do you really believe Egyptians built all of this? (one measure break after each verse)
These enormously massive piles called pyramids.
And because you do it makes us wonder all.
Why such ignorance has not taken a bigger fall.

You think you're brilliant, your science rules
But when its used to kill you're really just fools
And because you do we don't wonder why
How you look at the sky and think that we aren't alive

(chorus)
We just can't even believe (pause, pause)                  / slow and
To see what we can see (pause)                                /calm
That you fucking humans, that you fucking humans exist        //poppy and
That you fucking humans, still fucking humans exist           // faster


And sure enough the trend will continue
When you look out the window we'll be looking back at you
And when you do you better think twice
That next time we come down we'll just simply play nice.

and we just can't believe
to see what we can see
That you fucking humans, that you fucking humans exist
That you fucking humans, you fuckign humans exist.

Humans Exist - MRobinson 7/10/08

secrets become me, secrets become you, too
what will happen when there is no one else that we can lie to?
wishing we knew the truth, wishing for more we could do
knowing in the end it will all rocket through the roof

(chorus)
I'll beat it out of you
You owe me which I desire
All your secrets will go straight into the fire
You can't run from me
More knowledge takes me higher
All your secrets will go straight into the fire
Straight into the

you just had to know, and you just had to find out
you only know just one way and that's how you go about it
digging deeper, contemplation, losing sleep, you're in too deep
maybe now you'll see that the hill you climb is just too steep

(chorus)

(breakdown)
Secrets kill, secrets kill, secrets kill, you're a killer
Secrets kill, secrets kill, secrets kill, I'm a killer
Secrets kill, secrets kill, secrets kill, you're a killer
Secrets kill, secrets kill, secrets kill, I'm a killer

(guitar/synth breakdown)

(chorus, with breakdown lyrics overlayed)

Secret Song - MRobinson (lyrics)/Adam Young (Music)
6/10/08

Note:
Adam sings one part, Matt sings the other
Adam and Matt both sing breakdown together

(oooo) Giant shadows (ooo), giant shadows

It's so hard when you've done it all before
You just seem to know so much more
I wanted my own work of art
But you already perfected it before I could start

All my ideas replicate your best work
I tried my own rhyme but it didn't work
I wanted my own work of art
But you already perfected it before I could start

(oooo) Giant shadows (ooo), giant shadows

Oh giant shadows eclipse my sun
All I have is our shadows combined into one
Oh giant shadows, you're the only one

I wanted my own work of art
But you already perfected it from the start
Giant shadows you're the only one
Giant shadows you're the only one

(ooo)Giant shadows, (ooo) Giant Shadows

Giant Shadows - MRobinson  7/4/08

the cooler bubbles without an ear
the coffee machine is lurking near
you gotta respect this wizardry

and every day we're just assume
that power runs and we'll consume
whatever us humans need

you don't blink and you don't think
our dependencies are cut so deep
and have you wondered why?

these machines work autonomously
like magic all synchronously
to, help make our lives beautiful
our second nature beyond the trees
imagine when these beings are free
we'll, all be held accountable, it's attainable

these machines work autonomously
like magic all synchronously
to, help make our lives beautiful
our second nature beyond the trees
imagine when these beings are free
we'll, all be held accountable, it's attainable

technology in society
never feeling depravity
take it all for granted
the run around that we create
some hundred years into the make
and now we're in so deep, the climb is steep

we don't blink and we don't think
the trip's been long and we're not gone
and have you ever wondered why?

these machines work autonomously
like magic all synchronously
to, help make our lives beautiful
our second nature beyond the trees
imagine when these beings are free
we'll, all be held accountable, it's attainable

Second Nature - MRobinson 6/4/08

it's all that you wanted
it's all you longed for
but once you have one
you must have one more
delightfully brilliant
shining colors galore
and now that you've begun
you've got more in store
you wonder why you're bored
you're rich, but you're so poor
you're rich, but you're so poor

Yes boy, you're stuck
You're stuck in the center
I said yes boy, you're stuck
You're stuck in the center
You can only enter
But you cannot leave
You need a reprieve
Let loose of the reigns
Take control of your stay

you sulk like mother's child
bratty bastard devil child
you look in your mirror to see
you see free, you see me
place your hands about your hair
dead-eye broken stare
it's so hard to see the world
when you're stuck in the center

congrats highest bidder
but you may just want to reconsider
you wonder why you're stuck in place
comfortably idle zombie face
don't fret strong man anymore
though you rich, you're the poorest of poor
and it's so hard to see the world
when you're stuck in the center
