The Goods 04:29
I've been flirting With disaster-- Flirted with way worse, For why's unknown. I'm courteous To cast and crew, But union rules say break's at... (Not sure if you got the goods, baby) [I'm on my way up!] (Not sure if you got the goods, baby) [I'm on my way out!] (Not sure if you got the goods, baby) [I'm on my way up!] (Not sure if you got the goods, baby) [I'm on my way out!] Babe, you're perfect. You will earn A weekend spent with Tricks plunged up your sleeve. It's worth it-- You will learn The CG serpent, To you, it's alive! Coiled and hiding. Damn you reels-- Damn your time-- Damn it all to... Do you feel this? (Surrealist?) Do you feel it? (Do you feel it?) I don't. Can't be imagination, it Can't be the medication, it's (It's only real if we fake it here) Dimer of dedication, it's Where I get all my patience. (Not sure if you got the goods, baby) [I'm on my way up!] (Not sure if you got the goods, baby) [I'm on my way out!] (Not sure if you got the goods, baby) [I'm on my way up!] (Not sure if you got the goods, baby) [I'm on my way out!] Eyes got luggage. I'll be taking Railways in my trailer-- what a trip! Now poised to Make the ugly choices Mine's to find the money. I'd Sell my hide-- Sell the wheels-- The countryside-- Sell it all to... Do you feel this? (Surrealist?) Do you feel it? (Do you feel it?) I don't. (The climax-- A plane crash-- In IMAX And that's that!) Can't be imagination, it Can't be the medication, it's (It's only real if we fake it here) Dimer of dedication it's Where I get all my patience. Wirework levitation, it's All in the presentation, it's (It's only weird if you make it weird) I'll buy some elevation, just Show me the rollin' tape is on! (Not sure if you got the goods, baby) [I'm on my way up!] (Not sure if you got the goods, baby) Just show me the rollin' tape is on! [I'm on my way out!] (Not sure if you got the goods, baby) [I'm on my way up!] (Not sure if you got the goods, baby) Show me the rollin' tape is on! [I'm on my way out!] (Not sure if you got the goods, baby) [I'm on my way up!] (Not sure if you got the goods, baby) Show me the rollin' tape is on!

Facing insurrection From a caller on the line. Vital stats collected For the hundredth time. Parables defected When you read between the lines. Tell me who your best is— Tell me who your best is, But don’t forget to lie. Caught me on the corner Near the corner where I hide. Left me with a warning— Best get back inside! Fired off a carbine, Left those people there to die. Handed me a bedspring When we both heard the phone ring With the captain on the line. He said everything was fine. Quit wasting time. I feel alright if I just Close my eyes and Forget where I am and Forget that I am and I know what you’ll say but just— For the hundredth time I feel fine. I guess if I had to name it I could call it dissociation But that’s not a— I feel fine. I might be Losing my mind, But I swear to you That it’s nothing new— Cross my heart it’s true— I feel fine.

Opposition 06:40
I’m head over medical To play it. I’m sharp as a cannonball, But I wouldn’t say… Something soften, And more often Left it at this state. Soon forgotten, Same for nothing, After I’ve been made. I could say I don’t mind it— I I really liked it I I really did, I really did I I just enjoyed it I I couldn’t say the same for this. Nothing like a bit of Opposition, Next time we’ll Swap positions. Get it up— Could you get it up? It’s my opinion To figure… Coming off a good ol’ Competition, Next round you’ll Bet on this kid! Had enough, I’ve added up A number for you and A number for me.

about

Fake Baseball Kalamazoo, Michigan

Fake Baseball is an eclectic art-pop band based in Kalamazoo, MI. Fake Baseball bends pop music on its ear, and builds engaging soundscapes, with consideration toward making those booties drop. Come be bathed in the sweet and uneasy melancholy of a glitchy, introspective dream-zone, or wiggle your hips to an intricate groove with dazzling keys and horns that are best described as “stanky.” ... more
