Lay down on the object ‘till they push it down
Lay down on the object ‘till they push it down
I'm on the phone with your icebox
She said something enticing
In half time
Strut into the office with an ironed suit
Strut into the office with that great big suit
Feel that stark fluorescent lighting
A stare across the conference table
Cat’s eye
Reception
Cat's eye
Reception
Highlight
You get down on the floor before they start to run
You get down on the floor before they start to run
The lady with the headset
She says something nice to you
"It’s sure to be a pleasant day"
Head onto the desktop till it pushes through
Head onto the desktop till it pushes through
That picture that you Xeroxed
It’s sure to last forever
Correction
X it out
Correction
Get it out of my sight
Strife is sun
And night is the pantheon
We are devoid of oxygen
Built complex
The first of many projects
We are devoid of oxygen
North and south
Adapting to live without
Please tell me we’re more than
Please tell me we’re more than just oxygen
Scentless hounds
Protecting their filthy crowns
Please tell me we’re more than
Please tell me we’re more than just oxygen

They rolled a big sack down to me from Saccular Ridge
Oh god, I hate those people
They just sit there banging on drums all day and all night
Particulates
The National Anthem
Cows
Riverbottom Nightmare Band

I must be frightened
Of disco demolition
I swear I’m pudding
I have no incandescence
A rose bleed cow eye
A man made off with our van
We showed him flashing
He was naked and pleading
Paralyze the masses
With your stare
Eons pass with many days
Chrome listed on your spine
Tells you how long to queue
Making me into you into me into
And now the kids are
Dressed like famous host man
The tracksuit hippies
Their unused stupor breaks out
(Emotional monologue)

Look at the kids playing at the playground
Individual awareness abound
I think not
I think not
You’re not safe
From my dog
You take an arctic turn
Arctic turn
But nothing can save the ship’s boy
He grabs the wheel
Heads straight into the berg
He went his own way

Transmit same show twice

Back down, back down
We got ourselves another hootenanny comin' on
Back down, back down
We got ourselves another hootenanny, show 'em all your ankles
Back down, back down
I don't even know why
Back down, back down
We got ourselves another hootenanny comin' on
Back up, back up
Where are my eyes? I can't see straight in front of me
Back down, back down
I don't know where I'll end up
And there's no one to greet you
And there's no sights to see you
But at least there's tabletop soccer
And when they found him, they said
The right lung was a slightly better lung
Not a particularly great lung
But it was a lung nonetheless
And they found him at the bar hunched over the foosball table
There was no opponent there
And they noticed all the lights were on
The best player turns the plastic man in time
I gotta feeling that he’s gonna get right
That he’s gonna get right on the mark tonight

Disinfectant and time make you ill
Face the left way, the way your dad goes right
I’m sick
Deep house makes your brain brain brain bleed
But now let me tell you how much you could be saving!
Among a field of daisies I spot a slammin' piece of ass
I see her cry out to me but I hear nothing
A lazy ambulance climbs up a 75 degree incline
A room full of children who look like their parents who look like their parents scream "West Haven Best Haven"
A split second decision, I run for my life
The lazy ambulance speeds up and attempts to absorb me into its metal chassis
Process the widow and make her a blaspheme
We fall into line as she steals all our plastic
Later I woke up washed ashore on an island made of six pack rings and expired chicken RollerBites
I had a taste of one and it was fine
A room full of children who look like their parents
Inherent subconscious, demented, metallic
An abandoned church on the side of the Trans-Canada Highway houses every copy of The Foresters’ debut album Sun Songs
I had a taste of one and it was fine
Dead politician is used as a life raft
Confused and complacent
Impair higher judgement

It was appreared
It was untold
It has been dead from the outset
It can finally tell
The difference 'tween
The water and the wings of an insect
It can finally tell
The difference 'tween
The water and the wings of an insect
She made a hoo, so I'm gonna do a hoo, too
I talk real smooth
It gets me by
I dominate public market
I can finally tell
The difference 'tween
The water and the there goes my darling again
Your hoo is better than mine
That’s good but I can beat you at your own game
I work a day job and own 15 planes
Secretaries bow to me
Pull the plug and encumber me
Flowers hanging in the air and gradually out of the way of the rainbow, because I am tall
Human suffering and struggle is good and continues under the terrible happiness of Howard
Ang mga bulaklak na nakabitin sa hangin at unti-unting lumabas sa landas ng bahaghari, dahil ang mga ito ay matangkad
Ang paghihirap

Lone object makes itself known
On granite loam
It calls its home
The Jersey mammal projects
The climate mask
Completes his task, does his task
Fast walk
Slow dive
Feels leathery, naugahyde
Phase out
(Quick time)
Fast talk
(Inside)
A man from Macedonia yells at me in broken chavspeak
The hotel lobby looks nice
Refurbished in '99
That’s fair enough I guess
I haven’t seen
Someone familiar yet
Fast walk
Slow dive
Phase out
Fast talk
You’ve been down
Slowly leaking
Run uptown
Lost dog eating

You gotta come down, son, it's like three celebrations in one
All the jockeys are gonna come, start spitting all over your lawn
Making you theirs, theirs and nobody else's
When I went down to the pier to get some information
You know I asked 'em for some information
They told me that he's a total wackjob

This is a robbery
I say again, this is a robbery, take your
Mask off, mask off the brace face
Make me a mountain covered in desolation
Make me a mountain and spill it down the side
Watch me, watch me induce it
Carry the water
No more Mr. Brightside
Wait on the sidelines
Flaming, flaming house
Sun
This is a robbery
I say again, this is a robbery, you must take your
Face off, face off the pavement
You’ve been left for dead
You’ve been left for conversation starters, but you must leave your
Dead pet, dead pet at home, girl
Carry the water
No more Mr. Brightside
Wait on the sidelines
Flaming, flaming house
What’s left in place?
A quiet home
Carry the water
(A sign that you're alive)
No more Mr. Brightside
(I’ve had it up to here)
Wait on the sidelines
(Time and again)
Flaming, flaming house
(There was a corpse at UMass)
