Son, it seems you've spilt your paint on your face
And now it seems you want to leave the human race
Where did I go so very wrong?
Your time is now; you'll be gone before long.
Father, see, I'm still your son all the same
I'm still your boy; a man, lost but tame
My time is now, but wipe the sweat off your brow
Yes, you can hate me now, but how?
I'm still your son
You still I love.
Yes, it seems your head split open again
Graphics cards, computer chips now in your shins
The gods, they say your life's now in the devil's hands
I understand, but change your ways soon if you can.
Daddy's boy, why don't you keep your back in line?
Don't know why you want to live back in time
You used to love the way I leaned upon your chest
I'm my own man, but it seems you now know best.
I love what I do
But I still love you too

Here we are
Feels like we've been here before
My lonely heart, the lowly shore
At the wall you stare forever more
Lay you down
Does it make any sense to you?
Does the world ever get through?
Nothing said, nothing meant, nothing left to do
Don't go alone
Don't let her get to you
She knows all the tricks you do
Don't leave me here
How the walls did fall
Think of all the waves we saw
Here it ends
Here we make our last amends
Is this really how time rends?
Is this how it's going to end?
Go on
There's a hole in the basement floor
Where it goes I've never been before
Don't come crawling back through my door
Don't go alone
Don't let her get to you
She knows all the tricks you do
Don't leave me here
How the walls did fall
Think of all the waves we saw

The Good Barber's Sons
03:26
|

One day in a cotton field
Our bodies learning how to feel
We go down the rabbit hole again
Last time we went down town
An angered crowd gathered round
They managed to get it from our faces
First time living on our own
Big Daddy's good and gone
Feels good to have the wind again
We're just the good barber's sons
We used to be so young
Now they say we should die
So says their king in the sky
Three Sunday afternoons
Ago we laid in swoon
On a mattress dyed red and gold
On a perched hill we sat
Ten-Gallon new Cowboy hat
Living hell up in the sky o'er Kenly
Piano down at the bar
Its music heard loud and far
Wouldn't daddy just be so proud?
We're just the good barber's sons
We used to be so young
Now they say we should die
So says their king in the sky

Earthbound

Come and stay
Come waste the hours away
Be glad you're alive today
And that it won't always be that way.
It's not your fault;
Gold bonds don't tear us apart
And you never thought
You wouldn't find what you sought.
Picture frame
Man, I feel your pain
It won't ever be the same
And you can't place the blame.
You stare at the window sill
You don't realize until
You've lost the thrill
That you're lost still.
Don't listen to them
They just want your skin
Encased in thin
Molten hot red tin.
The sun doesn't go down;
It's just our world spinnin' round
And you're earthbound
You'll never leave the ground.
And now it's together
But now it's falling apart
And now it's falling apart.
And now it's forever
We'll never be here again
I'll never see you again.
Don't you see?
Why don't you listen to me?
You just have to get up on your feet
And the world will be.
Life will go on
Our lights will still come on
There's still the sun/son.

Time (Again)
04:28
|

Time has gone away
Now I've no one but myself to blame
The world in our eyes
A world of fire would be just as nice
Now as a man in hiding
I know the blame, the shame, the games you play
I know the places you will go will be
High above the world
You know the shadows of coming waves
Time again... Time again...
Line your eyes to the sea
Prepare your sights and aim inwardly
The world is our foe
Hide your face and and hide from who you know
Now that we're back and fighting
You've aligned the stars to face inwards towards me
I know the places we will go will be
High above the world
Here now I give you, proclaim it now
Time again... Time again...
Hide away
Run lest your mind begin to sway
High above the world
Time again... Time again

O, girl from outer space
It's between us
The magic space dust
The wizard's life force
They cry and mourn and hate
The deaths of mothers
And the deaths of fathers
But not of brothers
It's cold, I'd hesitate
But now I need you
And now we need you
But now I want you
Oh, boy across the lake
Across the pond of time and space
I hear you now, but here I ask you
Why and how?
A soiled book of history means
Nothing but the world can see the
Light to guide their ancient wayward
Ways
Indeed there exists a bond
And now surely it's grown quite strong
Don't hesitate: meet me up here above
Cloud eight

The wind, the hair on your face
Never thought I'd live to see the end of the
Human race. I'm just a thirty-odd-old age
American lesbian; let's begin
At the end... You never liked that new future superstar
Like they did. You bought his old guitar
Four-track sequencer back in '43
Just so he could feed his new son
He was old and he was poor... Nintendo 64
Cartridges line the basement floor
But, no, I never said they were all yours
Remember when we bought that painting at an auction
And we ended up buying commissioned porn
It was like a Georgia O'Keefe, except with animals and they were
Fucking, I suppose... But
That's not where that goes!
They had switched our characters up...
You were on bottom and I was on top
We laughed and we laughed, but then you said you
Thought it was kind of hot, but you didn't know when to
Stop! It was funny 'til the twenty wallet-sized
Copies you laid out across our floor
You said you never wanted a kid
But I said I did

Another day in the heartless work machine
Another expendable hour, four for the price of three
A world of pain and hurt I see from just your face
Surely this ain't no Earth, no home of the human race
Don't think too hard
You might hurt yourself
Don't think too hard
You might hurt yourself
Don't think too hard
You might hurt yourself
Don't think too hard!
Now the deed is done you walk around in place
I watch now as the fear grows gnarled up in your face
The world's a playground, child, let your soul be free
The pistons push and steam, it's best to just leave it be
Don't think too hard
You might hurt yourself
Don't think too hard
You might hurt yourself
Don't think too hard
You might hurt yourself
Don't think too hard!
[VOCODER]
Now, that it's done, and all fall to the floor, the world
Stops turning 'round and your brains all fall out... turn
Around, to the fight, lead your fists to the fight... here we
Stand for our lives in the dead of the night...
Don't think too hard
You might hurt yourself
Don't think too hard
You might hurt yourself
Don't think too hard
You might hurt yourself
Don't think too hard
You might hurt yourself
Don't think too hard
You might hurt yourself
Don't think too hard
You might hurt yourself
Don't think too hard!

Why do you look at me that way?
You know I have nothing for you today
I've been there many times in my own shoes
You know it's not what you say, it's who they choose
Programmed for science inquiry
Now just another labor machine
Nothing new in society
But it's still such a sad sight to see
Laid out upon the spongecake floor
Out towards the world you really do deplore
A cup of soup, a bit of bread
Crack the whip and bite the lead
Man, machine, or faun, or flow?
You're dripping oil out in the snow
A low-hand quip, a drop of blood
As if there's some god above
The time has come, the jig is up, you're
Lying on the floor
It's such a sad sight seeing you this way, but
I don't know what else to do
Hurry, get back inside before they
Call up their nasty lot
Your weapon's down, your hopes have dried, so
It seems you are giving up...
Oh no...
You're giving up
You're giving up right now
You're giving up
You're giving up your fight

The Fall
05:30
|

The writing on the wall
I don't remember it at all
Come here, sweet faun
You'll be gone before the dawn
The physical oddities
Never now bother me
And my removed extremities
Don't mean anything
I never knew you at all
I'd never seen you before the fall
And no, it won't be long now
Until the bombs fall on the South
I never knew you'd be here with me
Oh, why would I ever want to be
Whatever I chose to believe
Dysphoric misanthrope
The dear old harbinger of hope
It's such a slippery slope
When two lovers can't elope
Body, heart, mind, and soul
True disconnectedness is the goal
No, I won't let my soul be sold
I'd rather live here in the cold
I never knew you at all
I'd never seen you before the fall
And no, it won't be long now
Until the bombs fall on the South
I never knew you'd be here with me
Oh, why would I ever want to be
Whatever I chose to believe
It's rather strange, don't you think?
My swollen eyes begin to sink
And in this state of apathy
I feel my mind has been released
Why? Why do I have to be here with you?
Did my words never get through?
Why can't I live as I choose?

There
05:12
|

I'm there
Looking at the sky
And I'm scared
I left my friends to die
And I'm gone
From the old world of mine
Don't worry 'bout me
'Cause I'm fine
I - I'm in a better place
Must've come from outer-space,
I'm in a better place
Must've come from outer-space...
I'm in a better place
Must've come from outer-space...
I'm there
Looking at the stars in the sky
And I'm scared
I never wanted my parents to cry
And I'm gone
From that old world that I loved
Don't worry 'bout me
'Cause I'm fine
I - I'm in a better place
Must've come from outer-space,
I'm in a better place
Must've come from outer-space...
I'm in a better place
Must've come from outer-space...
I'm there
Is this what it feels to
Be... Nothing, nothing, nothing at all?
Is this what it feels to
Be... Nothing, Nothing, nothing at all?
Goodnight
Sleep tight.
Goodnight
Sleep tight
And I'll see you tonight

You and I
We're not that different
In my eyes
You and I
Programmed to fight
Until the other dies
Make your move
Make sure you hit
Within the groove
Black and white
The man in the High House
He's why we fight
