It’s very fucking hard to see the goddamn point today
I feel like eating something microwaved
‘n blowing off all of my appointments
I don’t have a song for this, or a plan,
I got a blanket fort to hide in
It doesn’t offer much protection but
Baby, if you want, you can join it
‘Cuz I like you and if I don’t always like me
Well at least you do do do do do do do do
I like you and it smells like something’s burning
But at least we two do do do do do do doo
whoa whoa oh...
Remember all the days when we were
scared of sharks and quicksand?
Now the smoky summer haze has got us
bracin’ for the wasteland
There is not a song for this, or a plan
Only blanket forts to hide in
And they don’t offer much protection, but
Baby, hold my hand holdmyhand holdmyhand holdmyhandholdmyhand
‘Cuz I like you...
I like you and if you don’t always like you
Well I promise to, do do do do do do do
I like you and when everything is burning
Well at least we two we two we two, whoa whoa oh...

Fix It Fix It

I don't wanna talk right now
I already know and I don't wanna hear
What I'm doing wrong out loud
I know it's mostly my fault and I can't seem to care
about my so-called finances
My so-called career
My diminishing chances
of seeing a dentist this year
Knowing how my luck plays out
the impending disasters will be of the size
They'll screw the world up *just* enough
that I still should have saved something up to retire
But too much for any chance
To improve my circumstance
To wake up with blood-free hands
To meet a lady in a lake who'll give me just the very thing so I can
Fix it fix it
Someone fucking fix it
Fix it fix it
Anybody fix it
Fix it fix it
Tell me how to fix this
fucked up
fix it fix it whoa oh oh...
The trouble with the world is us
And the trouble with us is we're good at our job
The paragon of parasites
And knowing we suck isn't making us stop
This frog's gettin' boiling hot
Makin' no move to hop or not
'Cuz it just found the nicest pot
And if we hate our own complicit fiction
Isn't doing fucking shit to
Fix it fix it
Someone fucking fix it
Fix it fix it
Anybody fix it
Fix it fix it
Tell me how to fix this
fucked up
fix it fix it whoa oh oh...
And it was my birthday, today was my birthday
And all that I wanted was somebody to notice
It was my birthday, today was my birthday
And all that I wanted was nobody to notice
Fix it fix it
Someone fucking fix it
Fix it fix it
Anybody fix it
Fix it fix it
Tell me how to fix this
fucked up
fix it fix it whoa oh

Consequence

Well that’s a look, my dude
I never heard such screams
We got a bottomless pit and a white-knuckle grip
You brought a trampoline
We play this game for keeps by rules you got to write
And you got enough second chances
and god mode and gambits -- shut up, you’ll be fine
Don’t confuse it with violence or silence or war
When we show your gilded ass the door
You’re gonna land on your feet, that’s for fuckin’ sure
‘Cuz my glass ceiling is your glass floor
And I just wanted you to have a consequence
A CONSEQUENCE
Just one single goddamn fuckin’ consequence
A CONSEQUENCE
Your set is over, sir.
Prepare to yield your time
It’s not punishment or prosecution (we wish)
Just a goddamn crime
You did everything you said you hated and skated
And we all saw
And you hold for applause
‘Cuz you know you can’t possibly bomb
And I just wanted you to have a consequence
A CONSEQUENCE
Just one single goddamn fuckin’ consequence
A CONSEQUENCE...

Glacier Bones

The trail out to the glacier’s getting longer so you brace yourself
‘Cuz you know you know you know what that means
Take a picture, take a dozen, get up close and lay your hands on Somethin’ you well know you never should’ve seen
Electric blue and dirty white, fractured galaxies inside
Beads of air so old it’s clean
And in the gaps of her retreat the kids ‘n tourists laugh and tweet
All tasting ice from the Pleistocene
And we know we know what it means to
Growing up they told my class ‘you’re gonna change the world’
And now well a-we know we know we know they were right
All our mustard-seeded faith in us, the optimistic strength in us
We really can move mountains when we try
Nature’s cold, a killer queen, She favors fast and sharp and mean
We take after Her; She taught us all she knew
And now so very fucking many face what very fucking few
Have decided it’s within our rights and lifestyle needs to do
I guess we won. We’ve defeated
what all used to stalk and eat us
Safe and cozy, for a price
But all of my recycling cycling bussing bleating/bleeding
beg and barter cannot buy back
Ice from the Pleistocene
It doesn’t matter what we mean to
Oh, from up above it all hits home
We’re all preoccupied and dizzy in the heights
Oh, from up above it all hits home
I am not copin’ but my eyes are open wide
You’ll find you’ll find me
Flyin’ over mountaintops and tryin’ not to cry
Flyin’ over mountaintops and tryin’ not to cry
Flyin’ over glacier bones and tryin’ not to cry...

Sunnier

I’m tired of dark and gloomy days
I’m hangin’ up my coat and makin’ lemonade
No more shiverin’, no slip-slidin’, no more cold
Wash it all away baby, out of reach
C’mon let’s go and crash a brand new beach
We’re gonna find somethin’ new, find somethin’ new
We got so good at what we do
We’re off the map now baby, off the clock
And I don’t think we’re gonna stop us babe
It’s gettin’ sunnier
Oh, sunnier
Only sunny days from now on
Oh, it’s gettin’ sunnier
Nothin’, nothin’ but blue skies, baby
All of the rainclouds are gone
Oh they're gone
There is no ceremony yet
For the steps my dance card seems to set
No candlelighters, no crowns ‘n gowns, no ancient songs
Baby we’re just doin’ what we’ve always done
Same ol’ same old under the sun
‘Til we found somethin’ new, found somethin’ new
We got so good at what we do
We’re off the map now baby, off the clock
And I don’t think they're gonna stop us now
It’s gettin sunnier...
It’s gettin’ sunnier, whoa, sunnier
Only sunny days from now on
Oh, it’s gettin’ sunnier
Whoa, it’s funny, baby,
All of the rainclouds are gone
They’re gone
They're gone
They’re gone...

Marian Call Alaska
Marian Call has things to say. She sounds a little like Ingrid Michaelson meets They Might Be Giants & Regina Spektor for bourbon & laughs, which sounds improbable, but give it a try. She hails from Alaska and tours North America and Europe, and she lives on Twitter. Her songs are quirky, sharp, surprising confections in every genre full of rich dark carmelized sugar, savor, & spice. ... more
