Worms are singin' in your ear
Spiders swinging from chandeliers
And you’re the only one
The only one to hear it
Termites cheerin' from your bed
As the tune grows louder in your head
And you’re the only one
The only one to hear it
Baby let your teeth grow
(Teeth grow long)
And you’ll never frown again
Buddy let your hair down
(Let your hair down)
And let yourself live again
Sugar shake your dust off
(Shake your dust off)
And do your dance again
The bats are flying in formation
Their wings all blocking out the sun
And you’re the only one
The only one to see it
Roaches donning party hats
Rats are knocking their drinks back
And you’re the only one
The only one to see it
Baby let your teeth grow
(Teeth grow long)
And you’ll never frown again
Buddy let your hair down
(Let your hair down)
And let yourself live again
Sugar shake your dust off
(Shake your dust off)
And do your dance again

I’d been dreaming
That I was bathing
In morning glories
In sparkling sunbeams
It felt like paradise
It smelled like paradise

The sun shone
On the sand dancing with the snow
So the black holes
Got the stars in their hold
And the blue veil
Ate the ants swimming with the whale
Then the desert blushed
For all the water drops on ungrateful rocks
But the sun shone
On the sand dancing with the snow
And now all I can see is ash
In the land beyond the looking glass

When I wake up in the morning and see
Another stalwart sunrise slowly pass me by
Even the daffodils say come shake a tail feather
Yet I don’t know why
That I’ve got that strange feeling again
I’ve known the password all along
I ain’t ready to die
But I ain’t sure how to live
Oh, but look at the time
My how the hours fly
When I stay up all night long and see
An indifferent sun rising on an indifferent me
Sisyphusian dreams have started
Keepin' me from sleep
I’ve got that strange feelin' again
I’ve known the password all along
I ain’t ready to die
But I ain’t sure how to live
Oh, but look at the time
My how the hours fly
Is it carpe diem?
Is it Lord amen?
Is it Hamdoullah?
It it Hallelujah?
Is it Adonai?
Is it live free or die?
Is it sic semper tyrannis?
Is Mary, Mother and Joseph?
Is it om?
Is it om?
Is it om?
Is it om??
Is it open sesame?
Is it abra cadabra?
Or is it amor fati?
Or is it satyameva jayate?
Is it as above so below?
Or is it sex drugs and rock and roll?
Or is it shema yisrael?
Or is it just
That I’ve got that strange feeling again
I’ve known the password all along
I ain’t ready to die
But I ain’t sure how to live
Oh, but look at the time
My how the hours fly

She-Wolf

Sharp mind
Big ass
You’re giving geeks and losers heart attacks
You walk
The streets that are lined with teeth and broken glass
You tread
The water poured from boarding up the dam
The ceilin’s comin' down
Well when you know you know
You're possessed by the she-wolf
And she would bite
Right down on the artery
Kill the beast
Burnt lipped
Scratched eye
Shootin down the vultures from on high
Didn’t cry
Just turned the wounds to sacrificial lambs
And gaaave a damn
And made your peace with your beloved dead
Well when you know you know
You're possessed by the she-wolf
And she would bite
Right down on the artery
Kill the beast
Run away, run away
Hide your kids, turn their face
You won’t be the same
No one’s safe
At the end of the day
Would you say her name
Say her name?
It’s too late, it’s too late

A Spoonful of Fool
04:12
|

|
Running wild on the rocking chair
Feel the wind in your wings
And the years in your hair
Dream of making money and getting gals
But you'll probably always strike out
Even though you’re never fouled
You prefer to play with fake fossils
Experts hiding in the castle
Casting shadows on your hovel
Guess we’ve got our man
When you stare into that empty-eyed abyss
You’ll stop caring where you are or how you exist
It will no longer be a life so wonderful
Cause a spoon-fed fool is never full
No, he’s never full
Get the jump on the boogeyman
Eating books off your shelf
While you’re blind where you stand
Situational gravity has got
Such a way with big words
That you now use on me
Shouldn’t you feel yourself getting tired?
Always fighting the good fight
Of being the most right
Ignorance is bliss
But heaven shouldn’t look like this
When you stare into that empty-eyed abyss
You’ll stop caring where you are or how you exist
It will no longer be a life so wonderful
Cause a spoon-fed fool is never full
No, he’s never full

Build it up and let it break back down
Checking boxes
Teacher's favorite class clown
Scratchin heads and dig the nails out the chalk
Gotta make the cut and beat the clock
Beat the clock
Build it up and let it break back down
Build it up and let it break back down
Checking boxes
Teachers favorite class clown
Scratchin' heads and dig the nails out the chalk
Gotta make the cut and beat the clock
Beat the clock
Beat the clock
Build it up and let it break back down
Clench your jaw and never make a sound
Better to be lost than be a jewel in their crown
Gotta kiss the ring and hide your dreams of being found
Build it up and let it break back down
Build it up and let it break back down

I Am the Lightning

When the Rorschach test behind your eyelids asked you what you saw
You looked to the white beyond
You dared to stare straight into the sun
When the boatman for the river Styx
Came to take you asea
You gave him the slip
And made sure to tip him
As you stole backwards towards the sun
And you cried,
(You cried )
“I’ll shoot all the stars down
For I am
I am the lightning
And the thunder replied
“Reign me in, Valentine
For you are..."
"I am the lightning."
["If you would indeed behold the spirit of death, open your heart wide unto the body of life. For life and death are one."]
May your secret world of idioms
Protect you till kingdom come
May your will be done
While your threads are spun
By hands that are not your own
Reign me in
Reign me in
Reign me in
Reign me in
["In the depth of your hopes and desires lies your silent knowledge of the beyond; and like seeds dreaming beneath the snow your heart dreams of spring. Only when you drink from the river of silence shall you indeed sing. And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance."]
And you cried,
(You cried )
“I’ll shoot all the stars down
For I am
I am the lightning
And the thunder replied
“Reign me in, Valentine
For you are..."
"I am the lightning."

He said go with the flow
She said let that shit go
My baby said don’t be so
Under the water and over the weather
So I just wash my hands in the river
I just wash my hands in the river
I just wash my hands in the river
You’ve got so much venom in your blood cells
You feel like you’re in hell
You feel like you’re in hell
But I just wash my hands in the river
I just wash my hands in the river
I just wash my hands in the river
Another siren
Singing out for me to join them
Another shipwreck
Sending out a snarly SOS
So I just wash my hands of the river
I just wash my hands in the river
I just wash my hands in the river
