It's gonna pull you in
It's gonna drag you down
Judging by the wind
Best not stick around
Does everybody win?
Is that a Walker fact?
The land of milk and gin
There's no going back
Back to Walker Park
Walker Park
There's no going back
to Walker Park
No we're not there yet
But it's getting dark
Playground lights lit
Our cue to march
Back to Walker Park
Walker Park
Back to Walker Park
Walker Park
No doubt
What's it all about?
Ahhhhhh
What's it all about?
"To Walker Park!"
It's gonna pull you in
It's gonna drag you down
And judging by the wind
Best not stick around

Trees Dream Of You
03:08
|
|||
I feel fucked up
What's up?
I can't quite say
She said, Buck up, buttercup, and write it away.
Write your own Debaser. And know trees dream.
Trees swaying in the breeze
Taking what they need to just grow
A sweet vision of righteousness
And for all I know trees dream
Trees dream
Trees dream
Trees dream
Trees dream
Trees dream
I had to write a math exam
and then forgot my pencil
I had a bad habit of chewing anything until I was full
She said, "Find your own eraser."
Find your own eraser
Find your own eraser
Find your own eraser
I think I get it
I think I get it
I think I get it
Trees dream of you
Trees dream of you

Explosions
02:52
|

We like explosions
that leave you feeling good
We like ideas
that change the world for good
There's nothing past the stop and go
There's nothing but the ebb and flow
There's nothing like some in and out
There's nothing more than what you know
Yes, oh yeah
Yes, oh yeah
We like new places that
jets can't take you to
We do like music when it
does what it should do
There's nothing past the stop and go
There's nothing but the ebb and flow
There's nothing like some in and out
There's nothing more than what you know
Yes, oh yeah
Yes, oh yeah
Yes (we like)
Oh yeah (explosions)
Yes (we like)
Oh yeah (explosions)
We like explosions
it's only right we should
We like ideas
we thought you understood
We like new places
until they're overrun
We do like music
loud shots from the big spudgun

I Was Here
03:01
|
|||
The year started with two cats
Now we love the bird
Sometimes battle the yard rats
A local issue I heard
Don't often get to see the nephew
Never get to see Boub
If we haven't seen you since we met you
Would have passed through if we could
If you're watching us play this
If we're in the same room
It means at least we both still exist
At least we made it through
It means effect and affection
It means a beat and a beer
It means we share a connection
that's crystal fucking clear
I was here

Spectator Sports
03:40
|
|||
The sound of victory in the streets
The sight of broken dreams on the run
Chase the agony into the arms of what's
never been done
Ooooooo
Ooooooo
We wear the same shorts
Underdog underwear on a tear
Replays of replays in his mind
An unholy disregard in the air
To mine any spirit left behind
Ooooooo
Ooooooo
Spectator, we've got the same shorts
We've got the same spectator sports
It's ok, be scared
But don't be afraid
Just don't ask how the sausage is made
Just look in your heart
Then look in my eyes
We've both been played from the start As sure as the sky
It can tear you apart
Hang you out to dry

All Hat
04:27
|

Fade to black
Take me home
What brought me here
Can't fill this hole
All hat
No cattle
Set free
Free to roam
Has brought me here
Parts unknown
All hat
No cattle
All hat
No cattle
All
Hat
No
Cattle
All hat
No cattle

Let's Make This Easy
02:25
|
|||
Sparrows tug at the stitches and eyes
Watch from the window and whine
Head count thread count tell me no lies
Long as roses still grow on the vine
The clouds have gathered
The room's getting dark
The wardrobe is out of its mind
Four-coloured lights cast silhouettes
On the closet door we hang behind
Let's make this easy
Let's make this easy
Let's make this easy
Easy
Easy
Let's make this easy
We sit in the dark
so the songbird can sing
Her voice a beacon of joy
It seems we keep coming apart at the seams
Helped by scissors the wardrobes employ
Let's make this easy
Let's make this easy
Let's make this easy
Let's make this easy

Husband-Shaped Man
02:48
|
|||
Oh what a waste
Blood from a stone
Copy and paste
Wait to atone
Brick in the air
More on the way
Nothing to spare
Nothing to say
Oh, husband-shaped man
Bird in a tree
Seed on the ground
A shape on the fence Decidedly proud
A wink at the ocean
A vacant stare
The brink of emotion
Into thin air
Oh, husband-shaped man
Oh, husband-shaped man
Nothing to spare nothing to say
Oh, husband-shaped man
Brick in the air more on the way

Late Great Lake Skate
05:07
|
|||
False alarm
Your skates are too dull for carving up the ice
On a late great lake skate
the wind has its way
And it snows once or twice
Don't take what they put out as something any more than drips down a drain
They've got sweet talk left that don't run when it rains
Down by Taylor's farm, if you're skating, keep your head up for the spies
Don't take what they put out as something any more than drips down a drain
They've got sweet talk left that don't run when it rains
Late great lake skates rule
Late great lake skates rule
Late great lake skates rule
I miss your mind
You led the way I fell behind
You led the way I fell behind
You led the way I fell behind

It Would Be Thank You
03:47
|
|||
In comes the tide
Out goes the day
A million miles
I've walked away
Maybe time is not on my side
But when it's done at least we had a good ride
If there was one thing
If there was one thing
If there was one thing I could say or do
It would be thank you
New paradigm old quarter wage
You're filled with love it's filled with rage
Ahead by a nose back by a length
You brought the tacos let me give you my strength
If there was one thing
If there was one thing
If there was one thing I could say or do
It would be thank you

Dearly Beloved Toronto, Ontario
The erosion of the immigrant dream. The genius of Stanley Kubrick. The entrenched evil of the global banking establishment. Suspicious mountains and high-desert military bases. Sinister Ukrainian crime bosses and the irradiated ruins of Chernobyl. The Dublin Occult Grid. Nazi human experiments. Robert Bigelow. A baby sparrow named Bruce Lee.
