I come home in the morning light, my momma says when ya gonna live your life right.
Oh momma dear, we’re not the fortunate ones.
And girls, they want to have
Oh girls just want to have fun.
The phone rings in the middle of the night.
My father yells, whatchya gonna do with your life.
Oh daddy dear, you know you’re still number one
But girls, they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun
Girls, they want to have fun
Girls, they want to have fun
Girls, they want to have fun
Girls, they want to have fun
Some boys take a beautiful girl
And hide her away from the rest o' the world
I wanna be the one to walk in the sun
Oh girls, they wanna have fun
Oh girls just wanna have
That’s all they really want
Is some fun
When the working day is done
Oh, girls just want to have fun
They just wanna
They just wanna
Girls just want to have fun
They just wanna
They just wanna
They just wanna
They just wanna
They just wanna

Give me just a little piece of your garden darling. I’d be strange. Give me just a little piece of your heart, thats the way that I can tell you this is how we play the game
I can always play the game with ya darlin.
Don’t you ever take me for a fool.
Give me just a little piece of your garden darling. I can see the seat of your pain. Give me just a little piece of your heart, thats the way that I can tell you this is how we play the game
When you learn to play the harp with your heartache, you will never play for a fool.
Give me just a little piece of your garden darling. I’d be strange. Give me just a little piece of your heart, thats the way that I can tell you this is how we play the game
Will you treat the one you love just like the
ones you loathe
It’s summer time
And in my mind
They’re feeling fine
There’s never guilt
Oh never this faith faded filth
Given this forced fed fake film
The picture plays on
So no one knows what’s wrong
We don’t mind, We don’t mind, We don’t mind
Take your time, Take your time, We don’t mind
So serve it up
Now settle down
They set us up
We’re servants now
It’s gonna go real damn fast
So pedal your way to the grave
I didn’t know if you knew
It’s only a matter of time before the whole thing blows
We don’t mind, We don’t mind, We don’t mind
Take your time, Take your time, We don’t mind
And everything washes away
The picture plays in so no one knows what’s wrong
We don’t mind, We don’t mind, We don’t mind
Take your time, Take your time, We don’t mind
Pick it up, pull from the ground
Getting up, put in the ground
Give it away
Play on the noun
End on the phrase
Pray ya don’t scrap what your father once found
And everything everything everything everything everything everything everything everything everything washes away
Your father knows
The preacher knows
The clergy knows
And everyone says where ya going
How’d you get back
I would ditch them soon
The pastor knows
The child knows
And everyone keeps callin those
Who’s real with both highs and lows
So get up off your knees when you bow
And the preachers keep talking
But are they ever listening to their god
Stoking that fire with the ambers of liars
You gotta assume
Money money money money money money
Money money keeps counting
Counting all the ways that we sell out our own
Gods
Well when all the days keep slowing down
The years keep going round
And this winter won’t stop with its rain till you frown
I just want to sleep
I just want to sleep till I don’t
I just want to sleep till I don’t

Oh, don’t dig up your heart, no way
This is not like you
I feel, I feel it’s my part
To behave like we are sin free
I have feeling that you’d like to stay
I don’t know what would make you feel okay
Just another somber sleepless day
Off path, we behave like men.
I have feeling that you’d like to stay
I don’t know what would make you feel okay
Just another somber sleepless day
No chance to bring you back with me.
Oh, don’t dig up your heart, no way
This is not like you

I have feeling that you’d like to stay
I don’t know what would make you feel okay
Just another somber sleepless day
Off path, we behave like men.
I have feeling that you’d like to stay
I don’t know what would make you feel okay
Just another somber sleepless day
No chance to bring you back with me.
Won’t you float back down to me
Won’t you float back down to me
Won’t you float back down to me
Won’t you float back down to me
Won’t you float back down to me
Won’t you float back down to me
Won’t you float back down to me
Won’t you float back down to me
Won’t you float back down to-
Do you feel your lungs about to go
Pushing air right up into your throat
Sideways in your sleep you start to float
Won’t you float back down to me
Won’t you float back down to me
Do you feel your lungs about to go
Pushing air right up into your throat
Sideways in your sleep you start to float
Won’t you float back down to me
Won’t you float back down to me
Won’t you float back down to me
Won’t you float back down to me
Won’t you float back down to me
Won’t you float back down to me

Manzanita morning time fog is rolling in rolling in on the coast line everything it feels fine
Tag me in and you’ll feel fine
Don’t waste this feeling on your mind
Got a shoe string loose
And that’s alright with me
Got a shoe string loose
And that’s alright with me
Tag me in and you’ll feel fine
Don’t waste this feeling on your mind

Watching this tree
Lose all its leaves
Holding its branch
As it’s slipping away
Standing in place
Hoping the seasons pass-
Without you falling fast asleep
will you pull up all your weeds
And have you found out if your dreaming
And do you wake up with the fear of letting down the ones you’re leaving
I think you do
I’ve been searching for you
You know I’ve been ill
Please don’t wake up
It only gets harder
We’re growing sour
So stop with this roller coaster
We finally seen your face
And you were your bleeding there
I saw the screen appear
With a half closed stare
Is it something I’ve been holding onto for when he comes back
Holding on. I’ll get back
I’ve been searching for you
You know I’ve been ill
I’ve been searching for you
You know I’ve been ill
I’ve been searching for you
You know I’ve been ill
Would you open up your trees
Would you open up your trees
I got this feeling that’s just sinking down
Sinking down on me
Would you open up these trees
I got another hug in me
(And do you wake up with the fear of letting down the ones you’re leaving)
I just fell to the floor
I couldn’t get up this morning
Then got another call
My brothers heart just sunk into the floor
(will you pull up all your weeds
And have you found out if your dreaming)
I hope you’re next to your father
And Rest In Peace together
Rest in peace together
Rest in peace together
Rest in peace together
Rest in peace
I’ve been, I’ve been searching for you. You know
I hope you’re next to your father
And Rest In Peace together
Rest in peace together
Rest in peace together
I hope you’re next to your father
And Rest In Peace together
Rest in peace together
Rest in peace
And rest in peace
And rest in peace

you don’t have to put yourself for sale
Don’t you see what I’ve been holding
Bless these skies while we’re still sober
Come back, reflect time, I’m older
Eventually eventually
I will eventually and gradually write you off
Eventually eventually
I will eventually and gradually write you off
Time means nothing without you and I
Save your fears if you are home
You seem to know it all
I seem to know what you know
Everything is fair under this square
Watching you fall apart
You seem to know it all
I seem to know what you know
Everything is scared
Nothing is prepared
Watch it get ripped from your arms
And I’ll swallow this down right through my whole system
My fingertips still rushing this way
I feel like I won’t stop talking the same
I’m older, I’m older, I’m older
Don’t you see what I’ve been holding
Bless these skies while we’re still sober
Come back, reflect time, I’m older
Don’t you sweat it, I still own it
I own it, I’m older
I own it, I’m older
I own it, I’m older
I own it, I’m older
I own it, I’m older
I own it, I own it, I own it

It's a pill and you've got to take it
It's a pill that you've got to take
It's a pill and you've got to take it
I won't rest until you take it
That's a heart that you made
That's a heart and the both of you made it
That's a heart that you made
And I won't rest until I break it
It's the l'histoire de la family
It's the l'historie de la femme
It's the l'histoire de la family
And I won't rest until I forget about it
I won't rest until I don't care
I won't rest until I forget about it
I won't rest until I don't care
la la la la la la la la
That's a razor and you will make a threat
That's a razor make a million billion threats
That's a razor and you will make a threat
And I won't rest 'cause I heard it all before
My behind is a beehive, there's a buzz in my backside
My behind is a beehive, and I won't rest
While you break my will
Je t'aime the valley
Je t'aime the valley, oh
Je t'aime the valley
I am an orphan de la valley
And I won't rest until I forget about it
I won't rest until I don't care
I won't rest until I forget about it
La, la, la, la, la, la, la

Everything is great
That’s what they tell you when they silence your speech
Nothing you say will ever change a thing
Change your mind
You’ll fit in fine
They crush your soul once they’ve seen your gold baby
I retreat I retreat into the fold
Maybe my mistake my mistake
I didn’t know
Will it fade away fade away
Until the strings play another day
I sing the song where the sun use to shine
People started telling stories
On this controversial morning
Helping all these papers to burn
There’s people mourning in the streets
Like a locomotive churning
No one knows where this is going
Helping all these robots to learn
We are free
Break your thoughts, break your thoughts
Until the law becomes your god
My my my, it was in rewind
It took a little bit of time
So raise your arms, are you armed baby
I woke up, but if it’s too close
Then who’s to say
That every thought and every move feels like it was made to change your mind
Take your time and pay the crime
Sit back and re-rack your syntax while we watch the sun shine
People started telling stories
On this controversial morning
Helping all these papers to burn
There’s people mourning in the streets
Like a locomotive churning
No one knows where this is going

We are free
It was a corporate clown. That that that took us down . It was that dumbass frown
Take back your will to fight back
Don’t stand in line
I’ll shine your shoes
Step back on their ribs
Their cracked bones
Be sure to shuffle
And skip your planning

Lillies, Lillies by her side. You just gotta take your, you just gotta take your time. She was shaking like a leaf, she was shaking like she had that time. If you want to rest like me then you’ll have to take a little white light… and shine it down your arms, at night. Don’t take ya too long, or shine too bright. Cause we can’t ever let you out of here. You run my head I’ll sigh. Cause thats the wisest thing I ever did shine. In your mothers eyes.
While you take time. That’s the wisest thing Ive shined in your mothers eyes. Sometimes. Thats why you should take your time on the bathroom floor, no more. She’s right to be turning white, lillies by her side. And thats why i’ll take mine.
While you take time. That’s the wisest thing Ive shined in your mothers eyes

I got really into this album when I started my first job, which was night shifts. There's something about listening to math rock on repeat that either kills the song, or makes it a part of you. This definitely became a part of me and my late night productivity.

Elephant Gym has quickly become one of my favorite bands. They make oh-so-beautiful tunes and for me, exemplify the overlap between math rock and jazz.
