Walk over the land
Dinner with friends
Safety in numbers for me
Licking my lips
When the safari got boring
Your beautiful hair
Beautiful eyes
Beautiful posture when you kill
Has worn me down
Oh, how men have failed you
Your body doesn’t lie
Eat out of your hands
Talk to a friend
Locate a place you can groom
Nobody saw
When you snuck off with the cocaine
These next couple fingernails
Are getting bitten off so fucking fast
Your head will spin
Oh, how men have failed you
Your body doesn’t lie
Hide the bodies
Wake the neighbors
Call your parents
Find the shortcut
Take the day off
Fill your stomach
Where’d the time go?
Take my pride back
Not my function
Not my features
Not my problem
Where’s my pride?

Paws

I fuck myself over like it’s going out of style
I could trip on the air
Cut my tongue out, muzzle me, and teach me how to wait
There’s got to be a way to refresh the page
Your paws
My claws
Your pause
My clause
I’m exploding over something trivial
This is par for the course
Feel the wall that separates my stomach and my heart
Start to liquefy
Refresh the page
Your paws
My claws
Your pause
My clause
Don’t you want to lay in bed and eat ice cream
Or get really fucking drunk with me
On a Tuesday night
Then go to work hung over but basically alright

Cagey

|

Choose your friends, romance, or family
Everybody else returns to sea
I love wasting time
You always waste my time
I will butcher animals to feed our love lung
You’re pretty cagey when you want what you don’t have
And I go crazy when I think on what we can’t have
I had jumped the gun and wandered free
Into the crosswalk blind without my lead
Speeding traffic spared
The line connecting our stares
I will sacrifice entire species to feel safe
You’re pretty cagey when you want what you don’t have
And I go crazy when I think on what we can’t have
You’re pretty cagey when you want what you don’t have
And I go crazy when I try to walk it back

Misprint
02:10

The papers told me it would rain forever
But there had to be a misprint
The sky was threatening to bring me to my knees
But it had to be a misprint
It was a misprint
Stop telling lies
The lady hiding out from wild dogs was safe
But it had to be a misprint
I sold a car for less than what I paid to fix it up
It was a misprint
It was a misprint
Stop telling lies

Comets and Fire

I want to write your favorite song
You’d rather see me make my credit rating right
I drank too much last night
But who cares?
The world is gonna end in fire
Comets and fire
Fuck me with fire
Comets and fire
I bought some pizza in the rain
And went home to eat it by myself, cause what’s the point?
As if I had a choice
Who cares?
The world is gonna end in fire
Comets and fire
Fuck me with fire
Comets and fire
You can hate me
But I’m not shaking hands with anymore sharks
Bad behavior needs no labels
Just run out the clock
Cause everyone is gonna die in all-consuming, endless waves of fire
Comets and fire
Get fucked with fire
Comets and fire

Extinction by Design
03:54
|
|

I watched an elephant kicking around with his weight in an upstairs room
Through every window, his shadow raged and the ground vibrated
The image wasn’t enough
I had to get closer to know the experience
And I could hear my friends
They were running away
Pick out a couple of creatures you could see yourself never wanting to be around again
We find each other standing on opposite sides of a bucket
I get acutely aware of the shape of my stomach
You won’t stop asking for my permission
To take more ibuprofen for your condition
Pick out a couple of creatures you could see yourself never wanting to be around again
I got a terrible feeling this could signify the beginning of extinction by design

I want to go for a walk but my feet are still shot
I’d take my dog to the park
She’s the best friend I got
She’s not a killer, but she can kind of be a bully
She’s not a killer
I’ve never even known a killer
What’s the largest you have?
I need a flattering fit
I want to pick out a diet, but it’s hard to commit
I’ve got a pit in my stomach
It’s hard to relax
It’s hard to complain and not repeat myself
I watch my spirit fall out of my mouth
And vanish into the air
I know how to misbehave
Animals will dig my grave
I know how to misbehave
Animals will make my grave the place to be seen
I like to listen to kids talking trash in the street
They’re the only ones who can laugh honestly
If I smile, it’s only cause I wanted you to notice I was capable
I die a little every time add another twenty dollars to my Metro card
I like to worry
I’m the jittery sort
I can’t afford to be patient when life is so short
I like to think about all the ways the world will probably end
I like the animals
Thank god for animals
Three cheers to all of my friends
I know how to misbehave
Animals will dig my grave
I know how to misbehave
Animals will make my grave the place to be seen

Monster Furniture Brooklyn, New York
"Giant Egg" out now!
Monster Furniture is the moniker of Brooklyn-based recording artist Gabe
Smoller. Across genre-spanning albums and with a rotating cast of collaborators, he writes songs about dogs, death, containment, illness, and home renovation, finding complexity in the mundane (and with just enough DIY eccentricities to keep things from getting too heavy).
