like a drunken kiss with someone you won't miss gonna love you 'til my eyes are crossed like a thirsty throat on a sinking boat gonna wait until my neck goes numb like a wooden heart that a spark won't start gonna tie myself to the lightning rod like a hanging noose when the knot is loose gonna cup both my hands and trap this fly chorus: cuz i can't write you outta my dreams so i'll write your name in the window steam it'll disappear as you depart i just wanna write you outta my heart like an empty spot in a parking lot i get jealous thoughts wherever you are like the cracks i skip where my mother did trip gonna hold me down like a cold war fog like your mouth's full of bees when you whisper to me you went under my shirt and stung me twice like a plastic bag's a confederate flag gonna drift into the water supply chorus lord send me back through never should've left you lord send me back through never should've left you like the garbage bags that your father did drag yeah, people will scavenge as they stroll by like a lifeless seed in a field full of weeds you gotta kneel right down and hold it hard hard chorus

about

Despite lyrically heavy content -- and the fact that this album was written the very same week frontman Elliott Kozel experienced the deaths of two close friends -- Expensive is nonetheless full of blithely charming up-tempo songs. At nearly 45 minutes long, the band's second album provides a pleasantly tailored listen throughout. While songs like "Write On" are incredibly infectious, other tunes, like "You're A Party," crescendo with polished nonchalance and delicacy. Then "Things Look Good" has a Dylan-esque vibe to it with a friendly harmonica, nostalgic gritty vocals and catchy guitar chords. Alternately somber, poignant, lively or even a bit waltzy, Expensive Vomit in A Cheap Hotel will leave you neither nauseous nor drowsy.
