LukeSpurs Impossible not to like, some seriously awesome male-female vocal dynamics, and the sweetest punk melodies since Bracket. Favorite track: Free Sweaters? Fantastic!.

God's Target 04:10
You say you love me and I guess that’s true Our Sunday best Painted eyes combed hair and a counterfeit smile A suit and vest Raising hands in the sky it’s divine no just infinite jest Oh no I’ll throw up from all these spoiled babies cries Why would I intervene if we both know you’re gonna die You say you love me and I guess that’s true Another spill for me to run right to Cause I heard (I heard) The world (The world) Was cracking down on you And everytime you hoped it was the best thing I’ve watched you grow Moved from caves and enslaved to rodeo drive I'm sure you know That the kid with no arms and no legs rather you survive I hear Your fears your pain your lust your greed your hate Well have you thought the problem ought to be your own mistakes? You say you love me and I guess that’s true Another spill for me to run right to Cause I heard (I heard) The world (The world) Was cracking down on you And everytime you hoped it was the best thing You want it God’s target God’s target You’ve got it You say you love me and I guess that’s true Another spill for me to run right to Cause I heard (I heard) The world (The world) Was cracking down on you And everytime you hoped it was the best thing

T.M.P. 03:38
Basic words to make you choke A witty joke or anecdote You’re drinking tears I’m drinking tea A long list of adjectives Here are some copies for your kids I’ll read aloud while you repeat OH MY GOD Running off my mouth again Stuttering and wet foreheads I’m not angry are you done well I don’t know Whispers bouncing off the walls This isn’t feeling weird at all We should do it once a week I can’t stop smiling for fun You’re picking food out of your gums Is there any left for me? AM I HERE Running off my mouth again Stuttering and wet foreheads I’m not angry are you done well I don’t know ooooooooooooOOOOoooooooo ooooooooooooOOOOoooooooo OOOOOOOOOOOOooooOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOooooOOOOOOOO

At ease with mistakes Don’t make them anyways These arms swing as I walk So tell me one more time who’s looking stuck What’s that you think you want from me Freckles find my face Don’t give me any space Tattoos and tattered shoes If I sneeze do I get blesse you’d I can’t be dead when you won't live I don’t care who the fuck I hit I keep my head held steady You keep your hands held heavy I’m the one with Everything to lose Woo ooo Everyone disagrees Their laughters after me Act dumb when I’m correct I know you know and no offense Use up the time you think you need Your shrug just turned into a scream I keep my head held steady You keep your hands held heavy I’m the one with Everything to lose Woo ooo I’m the one with Everything to lose I’m the one with I’m the one with Curl my toes close my fist you’re The fucking one with I’m the one with Everything to lose Woo ooo Woo ooo Woo ooo Woo oo

LA, Cowboy 02:38
I like you and I don’t like people I like you and I don’t like people Riding through the fog alone Talking to the desert floor in silence I like you and I don’t like people I like you and I don’t like people Maybe I’ll tie up myself Let the shaky gunman pull my heart out Wherever you go I’ll go too Wherever you go WooOoo Change out of these torn up jeans Take off my duster as you walk by Pattern shirt and tasseled vest Iron heart and gunsmoke breath Don’t go And I’m not keen on staying in But sure do like the way you grin You know And there’s no telling how I’ll be But I’m sure you’re the one for me And I’ll say it again I don’t pretend Cold nights Outside Running scared No noise Missing bullets Face death Wanna hurt me Smooth eyes Slick hands Hearing whispers Dark danger Hidden bodies Never wander (wonder??) WOO HOOO Let go Cause I won't

Searching for your lights through all the high-beams Even now it sorta seems extreme My windows gone been driving in the wrong lane Better turn around before we fill the streets with our veins Let go I won’t So go I know Let go Let go Have you found the place where you’ll be laying down Are you comfortable are you hearing sounds I swore I thought I heard you croon Hope it’s nice out there and I’ll see you soon Let go I won’t So go I know Let go Let go Twice in the night I can’t breathe right just to keep eyes on you Swerving through hours whiskey and sours I’m sure I know it’s true Twice in the night I can’t breathe right just to keep eyes on you Where did you go I’m sure I know I know I know Let go I won’t So go I know Let go Let go

I didn’t mean to keep you up all night Or sweat through your clean sheets Running from figures with a face like mine Short hair and crooked teeth And maybe in the evening You can prove to me this isn’t real I’m Judy Garland darlin I’ll never leave your side I’m hanging on your bedpost just know I’ll keep you safe at night Nail my wrists and let my feet hang low Replace your heart with mine Won’t always be a way to keep you close But I’m dumb enough to try And I promise to be better You won’t find me on the bathroom floor I’m Judy Garland darlin I’ll never leave your side I’m hanging on your bedpost just know I’ll keep you safe at night Hoo hoo Hoo hoo Hoo hoo Hoo HOO x4 I’m Judy Garland darlin I’ll never leave your side I’m hanging on your bedpost just know I’ll keep you safe at night I’m Judy Garland darlin (hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo HOO) I’ll never leave your side (hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo HOO) I’m hanging on your bedpost just know (hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo HOO) I’ll keep you safe at night (hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo HOO)

Free sweaters fantastic Those flowers are plastic Made by the same guy who built the barbie doll And a young introvert With some dirt on her shirts Drawing frogs with no legs arms but perfect jaws Both fingers up but not to touch Moving so fast ahh such a rush One legs asleep the other’s lazy Can’t open her toes Cannot casually grow But have purpose to surface at anytime And reflections are laughing at frowns Cause the pills won't go down The throats closed up or maybe dry Both fingers up but not to touch Moving so fast ahh such a rush One legs asleep the other’s lazy CHOIR Both fingers up but not to touch Moving so fast ahh such a rush One legs asleep the other’s still I’m getting help I’m feeling ill Childrens laughter

And I hope it aint hurting no more Like a blister or sore On the side of your mouth There’s no hint of guilt Anger wrapped up in silk Stored away in the house And I know That you chose To never return here again So I’ll say It’s ok But I’m finding it hard to forget Talking at bones turned to dust Keeping shirts that don’t fit cause I must Doesn't it look good You will never be old Just an image of gold Hanging under the roof And I know That you chose To never return here again So I’ll say It’s ok But I’m finding it hard to forget

Elvis Pelvis 02:20
Elvis was a boy of short stature with giant glasses and an awkward bone structure that led him to be the center of ridicule in his early days. And although this might phase some, it rather shifted the molecular physiology of a young Elvis’s brain creating an absence of fear and a craving for all things thrill. You see, Elvis was born to a wealthy family with high expectations. The family business of nearly a century dabbled in the dealings of building tried and true trinkets, but not even a hundred years of trinket tradition could stop Elvis from satisfying his ultimate itch of becoming a raging stuntman. And I Will not rest easy tonight At 18 Elvis headed west--a prophecy to the young lad who had given up a life of comfort in order to bring his passions to fruition. Landing a job at a local circus, it wasn’t long before an eager Elvis caught the eye of the old guy in charge of the motorcycle dome of death. Are you ready, kid? It’s time to shine. Without hesitation Elvis pulled into the dome revved his engine and took off at full speed. The roar of the crowd echoed in his helmet until a wrong turn sent him flying through the air landing on his back at the bottom of the metal cage. Lying there, approaching his last breath, he couldn’t help but smile ear to ear. And I Will not rest easy tonight

Open my mouth just to throw myself off Open my mouth so you could shut my talk I sleep in this bed sleep in this bed but I feel lost Cold air scrape your fears and know the place where I fall But this can’t be nothing This can’t be nothing I let my heart out Thought you’d like to know This can’t be nothing This can’t be nothing I let my heart out Heart out Shelter me from all your good intentions Cry to me when it doesn’t go your way Get the limit make me feel timid tonight Then I’ll have heard all that you’re gonna say But this can’t be nothing This can’t be nothing I let my heart out Thought you’d like to know This can’t be nothing This can’t be nothing I let my heart out Heart out You ask me for my secret everybody wants to keep it You ask me for my secret everybody wants to keep it’s All in the way that I feel I don’t let my heart out Thought you’d like to know This can’t be nothing This can’t be nothing I let my heart out Heart out

I love the way you accidentally use his name instead of mine Shave my head and glue the pieces to your chest I guess that’s fine Feels good to know that from my head down to my toes I am an unoriginal boy Hey how’s my face? It’s not the same Well I’m alive pouring salt between my eyes cause I can't stop seeing slugs Peel off my skin and nail it on a wooden post with no head or limbs It’s looking good I just love the way it lies Hey how’s my face? It’s not the same I swear it’s changed Your son Your son Your son Your son Your son Your son Your son Your son Whistles n screams :)

Part II 04:01
He takes of his dress and combs his hair which looks a mess Stains his face from ear to ear then cooks a meal and has a beer Says he works but drives around and doesn’t stop till he breaks down Lights one up to catch his breath still feels a tightness in his chest But it don’t seem so ideal to change your name Or force a way to stay in frame Like floral pattern paper walls that fade He lies in the face a caked expression of disgrace Shows his teeth but bites his tongue and never tried to hurt no one Always loved and always knew but honey it’s not about you The world looks big when it feels small that doesn’t make much sense at all But it don’t seem so ideal to change your name Or force a way to stay in frame Like floral pattern paper walls that fade The sun never gets to watch itself set The sun never gets to watch itself set The sun never gets to watch itself set The sun never gets to watch itself set
