Let's Spin Again
02:22
|
|||
Seems like just yesterday
I was dreaming about 2morrow
& it feels like everyday
I gotta beg & steal & borrow
Oh nite, where have U been
Good morning
Let's spin again
& all the road side signs
Seem 2 point into indifference
Cos everywhere I go
Is just another point of reference
Oh nite, where have U been
Good morning
Let's spin again
Now it's autumn
Soon it's winter
Then it will be spring
Every day another splinter
Oh nite, where have U been
Good morning
Let's spin again

The Strangest Song
02:42
|
|||
Say a prayer 2 the angels
They're the monsters in the light
Sing a hymn 2 the dragons
As their fury shows at nite
& all I need 2 know
It all went wrong
& all I need 2 glow
Is the strangest song
Giving alms 2 the spiders
& the bats that haunt the autumn wind
All the spirits of the tree tops
Standing still only 2 bend
& all I need 2 know
It all went wrong
& all I need 2 glow
Is the strangest song
Oh the glory of rust
A whole new story written in the dust
& all I need 2 know
It all went wrong
& all I need 2 glow
Is the strangest song

The Tourist
02:42
|
|||
I wanna face the sun
In the rain & mud
Don't wanna see the stars
Just need the light of cars
Don't wanna waste my time on life
Just wanna pass on by like a tourist
Don't got no time 2 be
Be anything I dream
Cos all my fantasies
Look like reality
Don't wanna waste my time on life
Just wanna pass on by like a tourist
It's a challenge 2 work my way 2 death
It's astounding 2 realize I'm not there yet
I wanna watch the sun
Sink into the sun
I wanna watch the traffic
Sit in the trash & plastic
Don't wanna waste my time on life
Just wanna pass on by like a tourist

Hymn Of The Renter
02:34
|
|||
On occasion sometimes dreams
Old vacations in new themes
Worries following along
Spoken word that kicks the song
Oh I need 2 testify my lord
So that law won't put me 2 the sword
Different textiles 4 the mills
Roads that take the place of hills
Thinking long & hard 2 stop
Buy my soul back as I shop
Oh I need 2 testify my lord
So your law won't put me 2 the sword
So I swear allegiance 2 your real-estate
The rules that bind the game
The cruel & narrow gate
Oh I need 2 testify my lord
So your law won't put me 2 your sword
Oh I need 2 testify my lord
Sing your praise so U wont' draw your sword

Oops, The Day Is Over
02:47
|
|||
I've got a little bit of courage
When it doesn't matter
I try not 2 discourage
On a silver platter
Now the rainy smoke
Is sweeping over
Now the the pain's a joke
Oops, the day is over
I see mountains in the mud
Next 2 parking lots
I've got visions of a flood
Plastic river shots
Now the rainy smoke
Is sweeping over
Now the the pain's a joke
Oops, the day is over
Let's channel all the fear
Into a smiley face veneer
Give a get well card 2 all
Brand new jobs b4 the fall
1 more day 2 stay
Now the rain & the mud
Shaped into our houses
All the stains & all the crud
Are our suits & blouses
Now the rainy smoke
Is sweeping over
Now the the pain's a joke
Oops, the day is over

Sometimes wonderful
Sometimes grand
Mountains of molehills
& oceans of sand
Towers in the background
Beauty on the hills
Scroung'n 4 the baseline
Lookin' 4 my pills
Each new day is a dreadful beast
Sometimes less isn't more at least
Checkers in the bathtub
Poker when I shop
Slide'n past the algo
Clock'n 2 a stop
Wonder where the day went
Wonder if I'll sink
Titanic by the windmills
It's over if U blink
Each new day is a dreadful beast
Sometimes less isn't more at least
Slow down I want off
& I'll hold out
4 the brand new drop
In a showdown I'm the last 2 draw
Hunt'n 4 the papers while you're check'n out my flaws
Each new day is a dreadful beast
Sometimes less isn't more at least

Voiceless Parades
03:02
|
|||
Free 2 bring a bagged lunch
Free 2 pay the bills
Free 2 buy some more gas
Free 2 check my will
Freedom 4 the fences
Freedom 4 my toast
Freedom 4 the breadlines
Freedom 2 like & then repost
It's a system of choices pre-made
It's a system of voiceless parades
I'm free 2 make some choices
I'm free 2 buy all that I need
I'm free 2 make U money
I'm free 2 work until I bleed
Liberty 2 work 2 the slow death
Liberty 2 set the clock
Liberty 2 be my own sell
Liberty 2 join the flock
It's a system of choices pre-made
It's a system of voiceless parades
Time is our only resource
Borrow & beg 4 remorse
1 more long day just 2 get through
We're sharing it all especially U
It's a system of choices pre-made
It's a system of voiceless parades

In Another Life
02:20
|
|||
The longest intermission
& the shortest entropy
The silence of the spaces
Filled with cold machinery
The tally 4 the race where
The horse & hare compete
Satellite communication
2 decide which 1 is meat
In another life we R spared
From the double lines of the circle squared
All the fixtures & the lightbulbs
Paragliding 2 dissolve
Into wistful narration
Where the ending can't resolve
Only over underneath it
Do we find the chance 2 be
Slower than the autumn thunder
Lost within the smallest sea
In another life we R spared
From the double lines of the circle squared
Chances R slim
Odds R a loss
A toss up & a whim
2 divide the double-cross
In another life we R spared
From the double lines of the circle squared

Imitation Nation
02:52
|
|||
Give U what U want out of spite
Crush U cos this might just might be right
Redemption 2 the herd out on the ledge
Salvation 2 the cause U must pledge
Somehow imitation has replaced just homage
Cos now information has replaced all knowledge
Bring U roses made of paper & trash
Use the thorns 2 double 4 the rehash
See no value in the value of culture
A golden calf made in the shape of a smiling vulture
Somehow imitation has replaced just homage
Cos now information has replaced all knowledge
We'd leave the 99 to get the 1
Cos individually scares the shit out of us
Somehow imitation has replaced just homage
Cos now information has replaced all knowledge

Game In Play
02:35
|
|||
Chaos is the drug of choice
Spectacle the new Rolls-Royce
Click bait fodder 4 the mob
AI art 2 fuck the job
Hold on
It's slipping away
Hold on it's a game in play
Ambition towards the pinnacle
Love of self the golden rule
Pep talks 4 the decadent
Tax breaks 4 the petulant
Hold on
It's slipping away
Hold on it's a game in play
A shiny city on a hill
Built by plunder & destruction
Just wait until
Hold on
It's slipping away
Hold on it's a game in play

On A Rainy Nite
02:29
|
|||
Lately
I've been looking higher
Waiting
4 a dance of fire
On a rainy nite
On a rainy nite
On a rainy nite
I feel the light
Showtime
I feel it coming
Sometimes
I 4get 4 nothing
On a rainy nite
On a rainy nite
On a rainy nite
I feel the light
Change course
Go there
Flying home
From nowhere
On a rainy nite
On a rainy nite
On a rainy nite
I feel the light
