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
