Lyrics

Listen Close

So let the prophet speak
And shut the fuck up
Bring his words in like a gift
But unwrap them later
The sound not sight of words
Is more important now
It’s not only the words said
It is the way they are said

 

Rapture
(instrumental)

 

Give Me The Headache

Ready the aspirin again my pill
I drop you down and prepare for the drill

Your hammer pounds its thoughts with weight
Denting, renting, unrelenting pate

The pain I take, the pill I leave
The pounding drill I know so well

Give me the headache

 

After the Accident

Brisk the metal plate that lies beneath his skin beneath his smile
Tiny bolts and solder holding flesh with a pin beneath his smile
Not a robot, but a man whose crash he hides within beneath his smile

 

Messy

It was so messy I could not see
It was so messy I could not look
I can’t clean up for you now
You are on your own

 

Head

Fuck with my head if you want
Mess with my mind if you can

 

Posers

Lip sink that’s my song
Wink wink we have done no wrong
Make believe with me
Posers sing their song
Posers stand up so strong

 

Leave Me Alone

I’ll do it when I want to
I’ll do it in my own way
I’ll do it however I want to
I’ll do it in my own way
Leave me alone

 

The Almost Poem

The almost poem that should have been
A simple word not three lines long
A stately song of fewer lines

I’m an ugly star in an ugly sky
Like a meteorite I’m coming down

 

Every Day

I walk through this city every day
Those damn cops push me down every day

Looking for a way out
A few more bucks and them I’m gone

But I can’t afford a bus
Much less a plane
I guess I’ll have to hitch it
Because there’s no other way

Dumpster is my home every day
Cash in coins and cans
A few more bucks and them I’m gone

But I can’t afford a bus
Much less a plane
I guess I’ll have to hitch it
Because there’s no other way

I walk through this city every day
Looking for a way out
A few more bucks and them I’m gone

But I can’t afford a bus
Much less a plane
I guess I’ll have to hitch it
Because there’s no other way
(Every day)
