Track Name: Robin Robinson
Robin Robinson

Robin Robinson
Hates the start of the school year
Gets in line with the kids
They can all tell he’s new here
Brand new Velcro shoes
A brown bag with his lunch
Mom, she made it for him
Wrote his name on the front
 
He knows it’s not enough
Introductions are always tough
 
Chorus:
My last name is just like my first name
Please stop asking me how it’s spelled
It’s my dad’s fault for being an asshole
He still thinks it’s funny as hell
 
Robin Robinson
He goes out on the weekends
Hangs around with the kids
There’s a few spots they frequent
Girls, they ask him his name
Over the din of the music
Whatever they think he says
That’s the name that he uses
 
He figures it’s close enough
Introductions are always tough

Chorus:
My last name is just like my first name
Don’t even worry about how it’s spelled
It’s my dad’s fault for being an asshole
He still thinks it’s funny as hell
 
Bridge:
Someday I’ll have a wife who understands
And explains on my behalf while I am shaking strangers’ hands
My friends can call me Rob and my kids will call me Dad
And I’ll give them better names than the one I had to have
 
My last name is just like
My first name is just like…
 
Chorus 2x
Track Name: My Body Will Remember You
My Body Will Remember You

Arms to wrists to hands
We move them to make plans
My fingers still remember exactly what to dial
So you and I can meet again; God, it’s been a while
  
Well, I heard you on the phone
Where my eardrums meet the bones
I know you worry slightly that it may come to be
That the boy that you hear nightly you’ve misremembered in a dream
 
Chorus:
Well, time has passed; this is true
But I know my body will remember you
It hasn’t been just we two
But I know my body will remember you
 
And so the day will come
Finger, finger, thumb
We run our hands across each other as if we both are blind
And the Braille is on our bodies; underneath our clothes the lines
  
Well, I finally found you
The proof: my arms around you
You really haven’t changed
Although your hair’s a different length
 
Chorus
 
Bridge:
And when we’re skin to skin
Again we will begin (4x)
Track Name: How Knows the Night
How Knows the Night

How knows the night
How hard to bite
To tear into this heart?
 
How to place
Its mouth, its face
And rip these valves apart?
  
It seems tonight
My dreams are slight
Interruptions from my day
 
Right before sleep
I feel the teeth
Hot breath on my face
 
Chorus:
My arms, my legs
They shake for days
They think of ways
To pass the days
My head, my hands
Have other plans
They make demands
They ask for you
 
Where is the day?
Has it no say
Once the sun sets?
 
Why am I
Never alright
Once the light has left?
 
Chorus
 
I know
When I go
It will be into black
 
But at least
The nights will cease
At least I’ll have you back
 
Chorus
 
For you
For you
For you…
