Rogue Agent, Too
She's the bounty hunter who's hot on my trail
The rogue agent that's been sent to seduce me
She's the one who really knows how it feels
Somehow I've convinced myself to let her use me
She said,
"We're gonna wanna trust one another, no matter what,
Because there ain't no going back, once the trap snaps shut"
She's a rogue agent
Been trying to divine,
What's her angle?
I'm dying to tell her
I'm a rogue agent, too
Is my smartphone trying to spy on me?
Is there really no way to get out of this maze?
I stopped believing in reality,
but it just won't seem to go away
She said "We better stick together from here on in"
Could she be so empathetic?
Or have I just met a replicant?
Rogue agent
Been trying to divine,
What's her angle?
I'm dying to tell her
I'm a rogue agent, too
Rogue agent
Now I finally know,
What's your angle
I'm ready to show you
I'm a rogue agent, too
Paradox Lust
I've been training since I was a boy
To avoid all my favorite poisons
But the way you share with us is so generous
That I just can't seem to resist
You got me feeling paradox lust
Feels like the unknown
Is the only friend that we can trust
Is life becoming humdrum?
I think I preferred it when it was a conundrum
Is that your real persona,
Or just someone that you run from?
You got me feeling paradox lust
Feels like the unknown
Is the only friend that we can trust
Does everything that brings us pleasure
End up causing someone pain?
Do you see a light at the end of the tunnel
Or is that an oncoming train?
You got me feeling paradox lust
Feels like the unknown
Is the only friend that we can trust
Yeah, you've got me feeling paradox lust
Feels like the unknown
Is the only friend that we can trust
21st Century Paleo Man
I'm a 21st century paleo man
Could ya learn to love me, just the way I am?
Stone age, I got friends who are highly evolved
I don't wanna dwell on bad news
But I'm not designed for modern life with you
Things just ain't the same as they used to was
I notice loud explosions
I Iike food and sex
I just tweet without thinkin' about the consequence
Don't want nothing
I just need instagrammification
I'm a 21st century paleo man
Could ya learn to love me, just the way I am?
Stone age, I got friends who are highly evolved
Yeah, I'm stone age, I got friends who are highly evolved
I don't wanna dwell on bad news
But I'm not designed for modern life with you
Things just ain't the same as they used to was
I notice loud explosions
I Iike food and sex
I just tweet without thinkin' about the consequence
Don't want nothing
I just need instagrammification
I'm a 21st century paleo man
Could ya learn to love me, just the way I am?
21st century paleo man
And I'm learnin' to love the way I am
Stone age, I got friends who are highly evolved
Yeah I'm stone age, I got friends who are highly evolved
Oooh, I'm stone age, I got friends who are highly evolved
Good Intentions, Bad Ideas
You ask me who I'm gonna believe,
"Me or your lying eyes"?No time to stop and even wonder,
"Which of these thoughts are even mine"?
You're dizzy, dancing in your toe socks,
to a tune that nobody else can hear
You wanna help me get the news from both ears,
and finally face all of my fears
Good Intentions, Bad Ideas
Good Intentions, Bad Ideas
Are we disappearing through the skylight?
Or just falling down a rabbit hole?
Are we in the crosshairs of the software?
Is this where the rubber meets the road?
Can we move beyond the panic?
We get all fired up, but it don't burn clean
Oooh, your villainy is so innocent
when you slip on your favorite jeans
Good Intentions, Bad Ideas
Good Intentions, Bad Ideas
You're the bee stuck in my bonnet,
I can't get you out of my craw
Foolin' myself that I don't want it,
Until I want it more and more
Good Intentions, Bad Ideas
Good Intentions, Bad Ideas
