I can’t help but be nostalgic
When the winter turns to spring
The smell of soggy shoes and lilacs
The noises that the robins bring
Remember the times we’d drink ‘til sunrise?
We’d shoot bottle rockets from the empty cans that stuck around
It looked like World War II
I’ve heard this longing is distorted
Like a drunken walk through time
But refection can be healing
When the present isn’t kind
Remember the basement shows in Hoffman?
When Matt would hijack his mom’s abode while she was out of town
I guess she never knew

The constant stress of essays clogging up my brain
The sleepless nights they won from me
Don’t get wrong idea and think that I’m not thankful
The time and space that I create, I’d rather watch TV
Death before dissertation
Death before dissertation
I’m well aware that my privilege is shining through
Just like a Jack-O’-Lantern’s teeth
Don’t get the wrong idea and think that I’m ungrateful
My mind’s as spastic as a festive Christmas wreath
Death before dissertation
Death before dissertation

Dude On The Metra

A force of Zen parked in the back row
A pack of Kools, a cup of joe
A book flipped open half way through
A Quiet Car second in tow
I just sat and wondered
Where did my self-assurance go?
Maybe I’m just humbled
Maybe I’m just low
A force of Zen parked in the back row
A pack of Kools, a cup of joe
A book flipped open half way through
A Quiet Car second in tow
Back when I was 19
My ego was stronger than a bear
Maybe I’m just humbled
Maybe I’m just scared

Tiger Mask II

Strap that Triple Crown around your shoulders and your waist
Size Kobashi up and smash an elbow through his face
Like a dove that rises with an olive branch in tow
Scooping up the younger ones who need a place to grow
Let the glow of emerald light your way past the grave
Tiger Driver from the top rope; way to innovate
Picasso of that dense squared-circle, suplex-sculpted art
Climb between the ropes and tear ol’ Stan Hansen apart
Let the glow of emerald light your way past the grave
Tiger Driver from the top rope; way to innovate

We’ve been here for a short time, but we already know
That as you get older with age your mind can stop the growth
It’s been said that youth is wasted on the naive young
That’s because we’re stuck as work and never see the sun
’Cause growing up does not mean that you need to grow old
Arrested traits, we don’t care, we’re Seasonal Men’s Wear
Forever young, we don’t care, we’re Seasonal Men’s Wear
We’ll stay in youth and that’s the truth, even when we lose our hair
We’re Seasonal Men’s Wear
When you work a 9 to 5 you feel you’re at life’s end
But think about the fun have with all the cash you spend
It’s believed that when you’re old your life has hit the skids
But now you can do all the stuff you wanted as a kid
’Cause getting paid does not mean that you have just sold out
Arrested traits, we don’t care, we’re Seasonal Men’s Wear
Forever young, we don’t care, we’re Seasonal Men’s Wear
We’ll stay in youth and that’s the truth, even when we lose our hair
We’re Seasonal Men’s Wear
