Time (Cool Version)
02:39
|

take your time
when you walk
down the street
with your eyes
upon your feet
miss the world
miss your beat
overload
sensory
& there's no place
left in space
for your shoes
double laced
laced & tied
modified
take your time
take your time
then we sailed
through the stars
in our cool
new space cars
so chi chi
luxury
zero down
best in town
& when the weight
of the world's
crushing down
on your skull
overload
gravity
sensory
take your time
take your time

Unintelligent Design
03:15
|
|||
Hold onto what you had
what you remember
when you was small
time gonna take it's toll
but when it's over
you're out of time
with all that you desire
hold onto what you know
stories teacher told
when you was small
they beat you to be a man
but every man can
be tenderhearted
it's what you are inside
you're holding onto unintelligent design
hold onto what you had
you'll soon be gone

Spit
03:29
|
|||
oh man! i've been had
& man, i know
i'm not the only one
wasting my time
hold my spit
til i can swallow it up
bite my tongue
til i can taste my own blood
tell myself
i'm not the only one
searching for something
i can't find
deeper than a diver in my mind
oh man! i've been had
& man, i know
i'm not the only one
biding my time
hold my spit
til i can show you what's mine
bite my tongue
til i can taste my own blood
tell myself
i'm not the only one
waiting on the last train
to come around
dig it like a shovel to the ground
oh man! i've been had
& man, i know
i'm not the only one
wasting my time
hold my spit
til i can swallow it up
bite my tongue
til i can taste my own blood
tell myself
i'm not the only one
waiting on something
i can't find
deeper than a diver
but all i've found is trouble
when nothing's sure
& nothing will
when nothing will

Galactic Thrills
03:52
|
|||
i don't see the point
recollecting it
i don't remember how to talk to you now
call it what you will
some galactic thrill
i don't remember how the world was really made
some they throw the dice
some we pay the price
i don't remember how to look the other way

God's Golden Telephone
02:01
|
|||
this cigarette smokes slowly
as i wander aimlessly out of this dumb luck town
& im sitting on the cement floor
waiting for the clock to strike never
when i know that never will never ever come
& i've swam in the sparkling seas
amongst the plastic debris
from forgotten factories
spied god through the cat's eyes & cried
as he sat in his throne in that city made of only gold
seen it all through the cat's eyes
the fate of the world
as it
begins to unfold
so i'll call god up on his golden telephone
and ask if you're always there why do i get so scared
when the sun goes to sleep
& the wolves start to feast
on the rats in the cracks
& the man in the mirror
& i've seen you before you were more than you were
now you're less than you are
so i'll call god up on his golden telephone & say
hey, cut me a break

Old Familiar Moon
03:27
|
|||
you shine like an old familiar moon
over the water
an empty shade of blue
that shade of wonder
you're terrified things won't go your way
but we all end up alone someday
waiting for the wolves to prey
on everything we are
when everything we aren't will fall apart with that old familiar moon
but when that old familiar moon is born anew
then i will carry you
laying in the lazy moonlight
laying in the rain
my head was spinning like a carousel
spinning for the days i threw away
but when that old familiar moon is born anew
then i will carry you

well one day when it seems our time has come
would you hold me like you did when we was young
before the world destroyed us left us no place left to run
i was younger then but man i sure was dumb
back when i would eat right out of your hand
couldn't tell was it real or just pretend
then the mirror it swirled like satan he was spitting on my grave
in the morning i woke feeling quite the same
it was always too easy to be true
it was always ever up to you
& i doubt that there's a heaven but i'm sure i'll never know
take me home mama when it's my time to go
cuz there's a poem i read once it was written on the wall
here's the pain of man, now you carry it all

dead
sleeping on the floor
blame it on the weather
blame it on the ozone
oh no
i'm
sleeping all the time
blame it on the weather
a nuclear winter
dead
sleeping on the floor
blame it on the weather
a nuclear winter
