when the ghosts rise from your past some hold court to judge and laugh at you but her hands are the codes and the cheats for you to win at a younger man’s game she moved through your life in three days resurrection of a man erased tried to change your mind about the state you know you’ll never go, you know you’ll never know so you can drag your ass all over town scream your songs to tell her you were wrong but she can’t hear and those kids don’t care you’re playing in a younger man’s game she tore down your life in just three years a repetition of your every fear stained your mind and broke the state you know you’ll never go, you know it’s not your home you know you’ll never go and you know you’ll never know and you know she’s not alone and you know it’s not your home

dragonfly pills are real and we need to get some more cause no one ever kisses goodbye it’s just some text viewed on a screen that breaks your heart you need to drink to laugh the pain away then fuck the pain away dragonfly, your words are real i finally read between the lines i think i learned my lesson this time last night between the sheets between her legs between the sheets alone again between the sheets we all believe that love is real and stays till morning that love is real and stays for breakfast that love is real but not for us not for us it’s not for us

you called me back today, we talked an hour and a half too bad it took ten years to get your courage back i believe you when you say we can be friends cause you don’t understand the secret plans of men there’s always a voice in my head a conquistador who wants to move on explore new lands, conquer new beds and live new songs in every town there’s a woman like you and i give her my hand i try to abandon the secret plans of men as your words wash over me i miss your fucked up teeth in frozen lofts and parking lots i’ve watched your passions drained i know that you love me but i need to see you to smile again you claim i don’t need you cause there’s no ring on your hand but you don’t understand the secret plans of men as your words wash over me i miss your tiny feet with hearts and heads intact our future together seems shelved we’re living out a lease like it’s all that’s keeping us bound i promise before i leave i’ll try everything i can but now i’m longing for the secret plans of men as these emotions wash over me i’m not sure that i can leave as these emotions wash over me i’m not sure that i can leave credits

i won’t lay where i’m not wanted anymore like old furniture cast out on the back porch on the road and begging with no bread in hand and no better plan haunted by impulses and eyes that will always be larger than my heart you took my hand i gave my word the meaning fades while shadows burn as you fade out into to the crowd the world is still without a sound now i'm free of all you built around me with the old myth of new beginnings calling on the road and begging with no bread in hand wooden docks under the moon wasted on her cheap perfume giving in to impulses and eyes that will always be larger than my heart we went to bed and moved the earth now were at a loss for words rain beats down the freeway south the sky hangs low i can’t see out

i heard that you were leaving and you never took those drugs that you’d been meaning to try with her, well how about tonight i’ll move my car to overnight and you can cum with me, cum with me, cum. with me. you think that you can take a beating but those bruises on your arms, well they aren’t fading you stayed for her just one last night but you spent it on your own, she couldn’t say “goodbye” or “stay with me, stay with me, stay. with me.” one week girlfriend who’s dumb enough to fall in love that fast? she’s one weak girlfriend who’s fool enough to believe that it might last? you wrapped your legs around mine mouthed my name a few times then ran for the door what i miss does not exist i should have watched you go instead of insist you follow me, follow me, follow me one week girlfriend who’s dumb enough to fall in love that fast? she’s one weak girlfriend who’s fool enough to believe that it might last? one week girlfriend who’s dumb enough to fall in love that fast? she’s one weak girlfriend who’s fool enough to believe that it might last?

if you could do anything right now what would you stay here in bed me making babies in the eyes of the tv or would you pack your favorite things into your spaceship to leave spread across the galaxy looking for the life you believe in safe inside that car on a trip that broke my knees my new skin was born formed from your disease i watched all those mile markers pass and i’ve seen the end but i’ve still got no idea if you meant for me to believe if you could be anyone with a mask or just in makeup trash all the old scripts re-cast the lead delete me or could we save our favorite scenes that boy on the subway train and the shoes that made you bleed packed away another play because what i said about green well i don’t believe

this place is death and i am not pretty anymore these sheets are warm but they can’t hide these bedsores my back is broken and you don’t love me like before this is no happy home. this shit is a war. now i’m sorry but... and though i’m sorry i... we’re both sorry so... we keep on trying why? this is every story we couldn’t put to the page these are all the drinks we drank to reach this age my heart is broken and now our lust has turned to rage this is no happy home. we can’t be saved. now i’m sorry but... and though i’m sorry i... we’re both sorry so... we keep on trying why? if you were afraid to live your life like i’m afraid to live mine you would drink as much as i do do you drink as much as i do? now i’m sorry but... and though i’m sorry i... we’re both sorry so... we keep on trying why?

our bodies connect but you don’t feel a thing the math divides to nothing, no chemical reaction time is slowed by wine but you need to drink to undress i’d be perfect for you if you were someone else another woman trapped inside your body could not resist our bodies connect but you don’t feel a thing the math divides to nothing, no chemical reaction time is blurred in my mind that needs to think to impress i’d be perfect for you if i was someone else a man with a past of connections that last and a place to call them home but i draw maps of the stars and chart out a course for us alone throw up your guard checkmate my charm once again i’m rushing too fast out the gate i’m buyin rings making keys and everything but you only stayed to not drive home so drunk tonight you only kept my bed warm cause you’re bored tonight our bodies connect but you don’t feel a thing the math divides to nothing, no chemical reaction

i gave up the house to live in the gutter there’s always company and a place to sleep but in the morning the faces are so unfamiliar there’s always a chance someday i’ll give up the girls and the bottle you’ll need a plan when the sky opens up and i rain down upon you take off your dress and throw it in the river let it flow downstream to the children they will bring it me on my knees try to remind me you found your god and i took a lover so you can cut me out of all those photos but these chords are the sound of your sins made immortal there’s always a chance someday i’ll give up my voice and this guitar i’ll need a plan when i finally wake up to a future without you take off your dress and throw it in the river let it flow downstream to the children they will bring it me on my knees try to remind me we’ll meet again we’ll meet again

Jeremy Wilkins, Denver Bon, and GL3 were Allegra Gellar. Pez played bass from 2004-2006 and Olive played drums for a bit in 2007-2008. Dan played drums here and there. They made indie-rock, indie-folk, and folktronic music from 2003 till 2012.

In 2012 they completed their final album, The Secret Plans Of Men, and finally satisfied with what they'd done, promptly disbanded.
