FOR WHAT I KNOW WHY ARE YOU
IT COULD BE OPENING NEW PORES CRYING?
IT COULD BE SLAMMING THINGS AROUND
IT CAN BE HAPPENING WHY AREN�T
FOR WHAT I CAME YOU LAUGHING?
YOU CAN TELL THE SAME THINGS
FROM THE SAME PEOPLE
RACEHORSE TO THE STEEPLE
I WANNA SEE PEOPLE

TO BE AWARDED
THE OPPORTUNITY
TO DIE EVERYDAY
TRY THE WATER
TRY THE DIRT
SCAN THE TANK
REMOTELY

PINPOINT COLLESSEUMS
FROM A FLYING SCHEDULE
FROM A LONG WALK HOME
FROM A MEET AND GREET

AND IT MAKES ME PRIVATE
TAPING DIALOGUES
REDUCING STOCK
ADJUSTING

IN THIS STREAM OF CONSCIOUNESS PLANING
NOBODY KNOWS WHAT WE WE�RE SAYING

AND IT MAKES ME GO PUBLIC
WITH BEST LEFT UNSAID
LIKE SHADOWS IN MEADOWS
NOTHING IN THE SKY

THE DREAMLESS HEAVY DRINKERS
THE COLONISTS WHO UNIONIZE
THEIR MEDICAL WATCHDOGS
WE ARE FRIENDS WITH YOU

IN THIS STREAM OF CONSIOUSNESS PLANING
NOBODY KNOWS WHAT WE�RE SAYING

AND NOW HE WILL NOT REST
KEROSINE LAMP ON HIS CHEST
OUR PRIVATE EYE�S ARMY BASE
YOUR SURGICAL SUCCESSOR
THE ATOM BOMB PROFESSOR
HE SAVES YOU IN HIS GLASSES
HE KEEPS YOU IN HIS CORNER

MASSIVE TIRED OF ELEMENTS
THE FRAGILE COLLUMNS TREMBLE
THE HORROR GIFT SHOP SILHOUTTES
PULLS A NAIL WITH FALSE TEETH

EXHAUSTED FROM OUR EFFORTS
TO DISABLE PRESS "STOP"
FOR NEW KICKS, I DON�T THINK SO
YOU CHOOSE WHAT YOU LOSE

AND NOW HE WILL NOT REST
KEROSINE LAMP ON HIS CHEST
OUR PRIVATE EYE�S ARMY BASE
YOUR SURGICAL SUCCESSOR
THE ATOM BOMB PROFESSOR
HE SAVES YOU IN HIS GLASSES
HE KEEPS YOU IN HIS CORNER

THE BADGER GOES IN
WITH KILOWATTS STINGING
DO YOU HEAR THEM?
THE FIVE DYING LIARS
DO IT
SCREW IT
PROVE IT
REMOVE IT
