He was a famous trumpet out Chicago way Had this famous style that no one else could play He was the top man at his craft But then his number came up and he was gone with the draft He's in the army now, a blowin' reveille He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B They made him blow a bugle for his Uncle Sam It really got him down because he couldn't jam The captain seemed to understand Because the next day he went out and drafted a band And now the company jumps when he plays the reveille He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B He puts the boys asleep with boogie every night And wakes 'em the same way in the early bright They clap their hands and stamp their feet Because they know how he plays when someone gives him a beat He really breaks it up when he plays reveille He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B He was a famous trumpet out Chicago way He this famous style that no one else could play He was the top man at his craft But then his number came up and he was gone with the draft He died in the army now, playing his reveille He was the boogie woogie bugle boy of company B

Somewhere outside DC Radio dares to breach Silence and awkwardness We can both still exist tied up in silly string Our Neon wounds, need to bleed I Promise I cannot stay I Promised I’d go away Out on the road, on a plane made of gold I’ll go Fight the good fight I’ll go crash land mid flight Pulled on my bungee cord yanked on your infantry All tied up by your ecstasy I pulled away from yellow teeth Rationalize with me, Soon we will be in harmony I’ll be in the back lines And I won't have to fight Build the American Dream Out of this family and see This is only temporary Trumpet SOLO I can see you burn alive every time I close my eyes pulled away from yellowed teeth Drafted to die in the east Tied up in silly string Our neon wounds need to bleed I have to go fight I have to go make this right build the American dream Out of this family I’ll be in the back lines I won't even have to fight Tears fall like atom bombs On poor lonely little girls I won't be around much For the next coming months I won't be around much And i'll be in the back lines And i won't even have to fight I promise I won't have to fight

Oh fort tambourine I am a child of a modern age Born of a lineage hallow and vain someone unimportant to me said fight for his country Forest of buildings Cities of trees Rankings and flags Heard the neighbors kid is a fag But On fort tambourine The soldiers never sleep On fort tambourine The soldiers never sleep We are sending far the world To fight for the battles this nation conquered Based on a squabble destined to fail I hope there's not many of you that bail From fort tambourine On fort tambourine

Uranium Eyes 04:16
I flew out of the city that night and I dreamed of your eyes Fluorescent lights in the corners of my mind, When I landed the next day, in the dessert of gray The letters you wrote got me through the day Never knew what I would say If i were to reply Hear the gunshots ring like snares in my ears Musty knapsack, still covered in the tears Like the back of that van we used to rent Remember the van we used to rent never thought I was up for this I don't think im up for this Still don't think im up to this You remember that holiday We spent the whole evening in your room Wrapped up eachothers limbs Hiding in your room Now I beg that every day I could just feel the same Watching flamethrowers torching the corpses of another bad day I wanna run out of the city tonight, when i dream of your eyes Fluorescent lights in the corners of my mind I don't think I’m up for this I don’t think I’m up for this Shooting bullets of uranium into a communist Shooting bullets of uranium into a methodist Shooting bullets of uranium into whoever disagrees for today I looked out in the city of night and I saw in yours eyes That I dream of you like this a thousand times I looked out for the city tonight, and I saw your eyes Beckon me to the sky like a goddess of night

I can’t play this game And so I’ll go I can’t play this game I’m sick of this war And I’ll walk home So I’ll walk alone And so I’ll run on my own I’ll go back home I’m running back to you I feel your love / I feel the bombshells I feel your love I feel the bombshells I feel your love I feel the bombshells Kill me

Good morning dearly beloved Can you hear the bells are ringing Good morning, good evening You promised you'd be home this evening We wish you a merry Christmas We wish that you wouldn't miss us I wish you could spend a day on your own We wish you another afterparty Wasted on a couple partly Fighting over jealousy spawned from childish inquisition Though your shattered into pieces Like vases, I lost the bases for they put their name on sacred places So they won’t forget your faces We wish you a merry Christmas We wish that you wouldn't miss us We wish you could spend a day on your own We wish you another afterparty Wasted on a couple partly Fighting over something that they never deserved We wish you a merry Christmas We wish that you wouldn't miss us We wish you could spend one day on your own We wish you a merry christmas
