When I look out at a world
All things want to come out and play
Humans, footballs-- whatever
Its flowers fucking flowers
Kickstart the human race!
When I look out at a world.
Wound on the endless river
It’s distillation in your hands
is morning, morning.
It falls off the edge of the world.
And I’m still the home you hold onto.

Ladies and men
Mesmerized by cryst-- (tal)
people can’t look. Look,
Man Frozen in ice for ten times ten trillion-- (years)
Smoke, grass, land ‘scapes when we look a- (way)
Ladies and men
It’s all in your hands
(wound on the endless river)
Ladies and men
Of fortune, dissent
Kickstarting the human race
Come out and play.

Dead Matter, Dark Matter

Oculus, what is the sign
What gives the mind
Its lines, what is the shrine
We mold whole skulls in
Deep inside the mortuary
You can touch your six eyed clones
Or at least the place where they were buried
In the underworld they’re waiting by your throne and you know
When your junk got its stuff on the carpet and cut of my heart
That all your DNA is nothing new
I don’t believe you
We turned my mother’s motherland to foam
Now you sing we can’t come in
So where do we go?

I want a new tattoo of you
for meeeeee,
I. I. I.
Insomaniacal you lie you lie you--
What’s on your mind?
So change back into your human suit
before we swim, if you have nothing to lose
tell me, tell me the truth.
do you covet?
music music,
music move it, lose it,
you can do it
groove it, you can glue it
music to it
it’s the newest movement
get into it, music music
truth is it’s a science soothing
toothing out the groove is oozing
music music, you can do it
holding up the room is moving,
tuning to the newest tuning,
Music music
Moving through it
Music music
Your conduit.
(Tell me the truth,
did you? Just wanna know if you’re contagious)
The fraternal brotherhood of police
coo in the hallway. (a ha ha, a ha ha a ha ha)
Holocausts penetrate the inner room.
Tell me the truth.
Do you covet?
tell me the truth
in an innocent tongue.
do you covet
do you covet
(do you)
eating its young
did you do it, cmon hun we can work through it
The cyclops eating its young
We can work through it hun, cmon
if your hiding something just confess
do you covet
me?
music music,
move it, lose it, use it.
can’t confuse it.
music its so soothing.
is it stupid? Let’s just keep it grooving.
The fraternal brotherhood of police
coo in the hallway
if they don’t come for me they’ll come for you.
Tell me
the truth.
Tell me, tell me
the truth.
Do you covet?

Alien Bacteria

It walks and the birds fly away
Threatening its medieval forehead
Looks like an egg, looks like an egg
Under siege Pestilence
Feathered by stolen treasures
I demand extraordinary measures.
And I hate the way you that you list yourself in the framework
And when you came over last night there was something on your mind
Circles making circles
So where do we begin my love?
My gray paste towards you
You’re craving bacteria borne through the course of your space and time
But you’ll comb space and time
On a suicide mission find
Where I lie in dazzling white
But you will never find
The secret that’s alive
Asleep in the structure
That tears sky
On the baseline
Between you and I
Under each note
There lies a secret of an ancient dwelling
You learn to taste its heart, but get lost
in feeling of another person
We just glide by
Cover your unreal eyes
Here’s the ghost
To fill in vacant lines
That tears sky

Honing, wheting a pre-prototype
Every day is an important new sight
And she knows that all the pieces will fall in place.
Artifice unbounded awaits
When your family's outdated
The splinter in the lion's paw falls out, falls out.
Light up the night with your robo-thoughts
Sovereign parade of the human-auts
Picking up where god forgot to try.
Carbonation filling out my lungs
Gotta make sure to untie our tongues
As airtight bubbles float up … smells like a perfect match.
And I wanna let you know
The soul, can never grow enough to take over control.
Don't worry, it can be your indemnity.
Light up the night with your robo-thoughts
Sovereign parade of the human-auts
Carrying the word on
Picking up where god forgot to try.
Carrying the word on
Pseudomatic cables
All hang low as fruit.
Your holography corrupting my
Prototype corollary
Alive inside, come alive.
In the light.

Talk to me-- you’re pencil skirting.
Oh talk to me, your pensive student.
Oh talk to me, you’re pencil skirting.
Why am I why am I
So tired so tired
Can’t sleep
Hungry can’t eat
I know why so salivating
I want to kick in your teeth
I wanna haunt in your dreams
How could you do this to me!?
Good listener
With a heart made of steel
He’s standing at my steering wheel, oh-oh
He's a good listener.
Got me on my knees
Begging please don’t break me while I climb
Come your red threat, munch on me
Solid gold-necked
Munch on me
Good listener
So matter of fact I
Cower in the weekend.
I’m at your beck and call
---------
Seems so meaningless
If you’ve seen where it all goes
we fall asleep cradling future histories
dream subtitles in a silent
end to it all
cut scene
talk for hours and i still cant calm you down
it’s not me
I’m not the one dressed in moving clothes
---------
I’ll put you in my movie
I’ll put you in my movie
before you die of pneumonia
I’ll put you in my movie
the ambulance is waiting
its windshield is a lens, its bed is romance
I’ll put you in my movie
I’ll put you in my movie

You are crab mandibles, sorting particulate.
A spasm of god’s electronic certificate.
You are the red flecks in my breath.
I love when you shudder and blood from the udder goes down down down
My esophagus.
This is xylocan. Xylocan can.
This is black hair dye. Xylocan can
Make you numb, I love that stuff, medical miracle
And me, well i look great in disguise.
(I love that guy).
Crush, Crushing up pills while we watch my favorite movie
crushing up pills and dilute in yogurt smoothie
crush, crushing up pills, why are you flexing on me
crushing up pills and then I get them in me (gimme!)
Carried out wild, I’m a rough rider
oh, oh, buried in a childproof container, cuz this cuz this is xylocan
And Carried out wild, I’m a jet fighter
oh, oh, who of you can sever my helicopter limbs from my head!
You’re an animal, that makes y’ innocent
a cannibal, carnivorous and
cruel but pure. A little pill I cannot
swallow, so can’t be cured.
Oh, oh, oh
Set fire to the schools and homes around
spit fire on each woman and man
I said, Set fire to the schools and homes around
spit fire on each woman and man
And dance, on the emptied land
‘cause this is xylocan
This is xylocan.
This is black hair dye.
Spearmint gum. Hollow hands.
They do battle in the sky.
Cuz the body isn’t normal.
You can’t make the body normal.
You live in it all your life.
Inviting visitors to come inside.
No the body isnt normal.
You can’t make the body normal.
I wanna touch you, give you time.
Then pull you closer, you’ll feel my size.
I can see you
In the darkness
Hiding under the porch stairs.
That’s not the way honey!
I can see you, ooo-oo-ooo ooo-ooo-oo-ooo-ooo
Cuz the body isn’t normal.
There’s not one of us that’s normal!
But you’re perfect, in my eyes.
Indescribable, identified.

Turned you, into
Something incredible
Brilliant red feathers burst through your flesh, your flesh
Collared dogs, bark scratch, bark scratch
And press their heavy leather heads
Through the holes in the fence.
Turned you, wild.
Waiting for the arrival
--
Killing machines, asleep on their feet,
Stoned.
The crowds have all crawled home.
The birds have all flown forward.
Form their own societal,
they walk on stilts.
Their infants feed on human filth.
Your friends will all come round and sniff.
Thinking a piece has fallen.
You put your hand against my pregnancy
said that’s what you want
And then relayed the sky was falling (down).
you think got one up on me doll.
And in a few years I’d dive right into your
Into your Into your
family
Blinking on the ocean floor (the widower)
Toward the island, you don’t see
You’ve got something
Something in you
I’m falling deep with green oceanics, uh, down
Into your groove
We’re familiars, we’re pollen
You’ve got nothing
Nothing to prove
We’re familiars, we’re pollen
Shining in your essense, you soothe.
Something you knew
And now we’re two.
Little Mercury.
Little Mercury.
Time’s like a river, it flows and it flows.
Taking naked pictures of your soul.
The wreck of your lifetime, we play it in reverse
Can you call it off call it off call it off?
Little Mercury
Leave it alone.
Little Mercury,
You’ll kill em.
Little Mercury, leave it alone.
call it off call it off call it off.
All your filthy
Secrets flying home!
Little Mercury, believe it or don’t
Why can’t you see, we’ll crush them
Little Mercury, leave it alone.
We can call it off call it off call it off.
Look for the slide off this pay phone globe hole.
There aint no name for the place where the light goes.
What will you give us if you ever arrive?
You vomit your paystubbing, welcome home, bird is gone!
All the filthy children
other fam’s produce.
Belong on the moonrock
Locked inside of you.
Little Mercury,
What have you turned into?
