War Bells
war bells clanging loud
we can go home
we can go home
the hills will swarm with lights
thousands tearing up the ground
with their torches bearing down on
the bonfire in the town
burn the flags of the aggressor
no more androids and oppression
the brassy night sky bright
it's the very first twilight
not sliced up by dead probe lights
i murdered a machine
silver blood, sirens scream
the drones all put to bed
our cannons rip them from the sky
they crash and scar the mountainside
mothers in the street
polish off a case of wine,
watch their children running wild
war bells
i murdered a machine
silver blood, sirens scream
i cut our people free
Poison Control
don't bring home that poison
you smell like smoke and your hair's undone
you took a job at his hotel
braindead in a blue lapel
he got some money
he wears it well
don't mistake me for him
i saw you take your makeup kit
i'm not a kid, i don't fuck around
i'll bash his face in, burn his house down
what do you think he's gonna do with you?
you'll wake up naked in an empty room
a tourniquet, turn off the blood
your friends get hungry
they talk too much
his skin hangs loose, some weird disease
he bit your mind, then let it breath in
that business talk, those tacky rings
he strung you out, i found your key
My Car Is Haunted
tired of walking
tired of sleep
the earth is burning
and my tapedeck eats
the cassingles i found in a warehouse
i guess they got greedy
had to push that button
nations erupted
they all lost
control of
no confusion
no police
just rampant jungle
take back the peace
flatten a century, sprout up some new stuff
electric ocean
sets free the beasts
ghost computer
chirps mournful beats
we hide in bunkers from animals set loose
now the earth is working
you can hear it creak
my car is haunted
blood running down the streets
we were the only ones
we were the only ones
and now there's no one left
alive to tell
about how we weren't so scared
before the ocean swelled
about how we used to live
before the ceiling fell
in the age of lasers
we lost our shit
now we're back to candles
keep the place dimly lit
we started running and haven't quit once since
i was unprepared
when the sky flashed red
frozen, i watched it
we all lost
control of
a shrieking terror
weaves through the trees
some sudden blindness
ungodly heat
we started running and haven't quit once since
tides of static
level our homes
sharp oscillation
won't leave me alone
we started running and haven't quit once since
Brainbow
brainbow body sleep
mind wakes, but is weak
i try to lift my feet
this is my milkshake dream
brainbow take brain
bow give can't feel
my legs
it hurts when i try
slow down to describe
so many party fouls
cashed stuffed in our mouths
bros on a billions binge
we'll share it with our friends
laid up in the street
tied down forced to eat
brainbow bring us peace
brainbow bring relief
weird bird flew too high
burned its wings on my
brainbow when i try
slow down to describe
Conquest II
B & E
this was a picture of you
dark silhouette in my room
thin, solemn bearer of death
when i wake, your hand's on my chest
no breath to enter a plea
someone told you wrong about me
i knew you before you knew me
i've felt this since i was sixteen
some wrong, distant and vague
you'd break in and finally repay
Shit Xmas
i am not afraid
black jaws of fate
you cannot hide from
the love you break
won't fear greaseball fists
or too dark streets
i won't go down quiet
i won't go home beat
i don't wanna be a liar and a cheat
want you to be proud of me
won't shake when the bells start to ring
cos they ring ring ring just for me
got a girl and she seems real nice
in bright colors we swim at night
won't shake when the bells start to ring
cos they ring ring ring just for me
you can hear them sing
angels without wings
out on the beach, black water deep
no fucking shark's gonna
bite my feet
and in the night
when the window's shaking
no thieving kid's gonna
try to break in
Tiny Prince Of Keytar
oh prince, don't worry
i'll take care of you
beat down, alone
laughed off the street
grim metropolis has shown its teeth
i hear shutters clapping, hear angry spanish
it's cold as shit
i trip, shop lights vanish
pain singing something wild
fever visions foreign brides
taste warm blood at my mouth
tastes like drinking water
at my public school
dates with the mayor's daughter
i dreamt i saw him there
face to face
he plays hit requests
he still lives the dream
seven inches tall
tiny prince fantastic jams
purple rain, rain down for free
nimble keytar mastery
he rides bikes with billy dee
he controls the fog machine
1993
i am 1993
i am 1993
feel such power within me
know that i can be
i am 1993
i am 1993
i am milkshakes at the max
we are best friends to the max
i am so for real
i am so for real
kool keith told me so
i sold t shirts at his show
i am 1993
i am 1993
but you killed all my babies
when i took the train to leave
Gorilla King
Waking Up Weird
jittering pleasantly in the street
we watched the house we loved
fill up with strangers' things
there's a needle-eyed baron
peering at my windowsill, he's
taking measurements of my room
guess now he pays the electric bill
he throws my furniture out to the street
i kick his stupid car
ask him does he know where his kids sleep
sorry
window sun on
coarse blonde hair
prisms bending light upstairs
i watch her work
my friends outside
break a glass, won't say goodbye
sorry
Maniverse
i want you to say yes to me
who says i should patiently?
i'm not tired, i don't need to sleep
i want you to say yes to me
if you love something, you should fight for it
if it fights you back, you should conquer it
if it conquers you, you might not come back
but at least you tried to get your love back
i want you to say yes to me
i refuse to wait patiently
i'm not tired, i don't need to sleep
i want you to say yes to me
