Wall of Ghosts

Quit making eyes at the moon
It's like a widow in grief
I bet you're thinking that you're gonna get what you want
But it's too often and awfully soon
Most repeat offenders do well to pretend to remember
the way it used to be
It's such an easy target cuz most of you refuse to forget
the things you choose to see
Nobody's home
And if they are I leave them alone
Always calling you up from my anachronistic telephone
To talk to dial tones
Hope don't float
Wouldn't you suppose that if everyone was happy there'd be
nothing really happening at all?
A wall of ghosts
It was a while ago
A wall of ghosts
I see the faces in frames
Faded numbers and names
Take a look behind the picture there's a history that hits you like a sin
Inquire within
It's a dirty machine
Ain't no way of washing me clean
But take a look under the hood where we are pure and
We are good enough to freak
C'est magnifique
If I recall correctly
You can correct or reject me
If I remember anything at all
But it's the end of an era
The start of a new kind of terror
Beware the cracks in the wall
Nobody's home
And if they are I leave them alone
Always calling you up on my anachronistic telephone
Speak in secret code
Hope don't float
Wouldn't you suppose that if everyone was happy
There'd be nothing really happening at all?
A wall of ghosts
It was awhile ago
A wall of ghosts

72 Virgins
04:00
|

Hemlock grows in my garden fair
The master strings his violin with my hair
Off in the lights on the horizon
Someone cares enough to bring to bear
A shadow closet where you keep your dreams
and dusty tomes about the kings of kings
If I fail it shall be spectacularly
I shall make this losing my specialty
How on Earth could you have let yourself get tied down?
Losing your ant hill for a mole mound
Trade in your antlers for a wall mount at a discount
We shan't see if you'll be happy in the next life with
72 virgins or just one wife
You'll never know how nice the weather can be
'til you take a little step outside
You'll never know how nice the weather can be
I killed the cat for curiosity
I spilled the beans and let the children see
How can you find it in yourself to forgive
a human being who wants to live?
The marginalia of a meta-fiction
No it don't mean much, but at least it got your attention
Even as you try to make your rent
You have become another dishonorable mention
How on Earth could you have let yourself get tied down?
Losing your ant hill for a mole mound
Trade in your antlers for a wall mount at a discount
We shan't see if you'll be happy in the next life with
72 virgins or just one wife
You'll never know how nice the weather can be
'til you take a little step outside
No, you'll never know how nice the weather can be
Take a little step outside
Outside
Take a little step outside

Closer to the Sky

I'm losing my fire
Closer to the sky
I used to listen to mother Gaia
Now I'm six feet high
I don't even know who I am or what it is I'm doing here
Can't you hook me up?
Can you real me in?
Cloud blind and I can almost find my way to where I was before
But it's all the same places with a different name
I'm losing my fire
Losing my buzz
I might be preaching to the choir
Chasing what never was
Is it virtue or is it simply sin
to keep my mind so open that my brain would fall right out?
It'll make perfect sense when I can get all the pieces fit together again
If I still know how, if I still know how

Bathe in Blood
02:24
|

It's an idiot trick
Political poetry
Who could've seen it coming?
Was it an act of God or just you and me?
I absolve myself of sin
Just a few more evils to sweeten the pot and it's
all that we've got
What more could you want?
Are the treasures you keep locked up insufficient for your task?
And the sacrifices that it calls for far too much to ask?
Our mistakes will make great conversation in days of future past
Off we run to bathe in blood
Bathe in blood
When the lights we followed here no longer glimmer in the haze
And the needs of cicada sounds should shimmer in their place
We shall watch the dying stars above refract in rainbow glades
Off we run to bathe in blood
Bathe in blood

13 Signs of the Zodiac
04:17
|

We're a scab on the back of a beguiling century
We're not sad though we've been had
Just happy to be falling asleep
And there's 13 signs of the zodiac
13 signs of the zodiac
You gotta say so, and it will
And that's real
I know this much is true
You won't know what you don't know until you do
And I ain't afraid to go and say so
There's
13 signs of the Zodiac
I know this much is true
13 signs of the Zodiac
We're a scab on the back of a beguiling century
We're not sad though we've been had
Just happy to be falling asleep
And if I don't wake up
I'm probably making love with the long hereafter
Another beautiful disaster

Life without Television
05:30
|
|||
You want to reclaim your brain, but it is too late
You wanted to feel for real, but it is too great
Sick with anticipation
Awaiting a mind invasion
Time to turn on, tune in, and then shut it right off again
You turned on the news today, and it was so fake
A cat in a tree
A man down on his knee
You couldn't stay awake
I've made a grave decision
To live without television
I don't wanna stare, but I don't even care enough to look away
Enlightenment wouldn't put a dent in your dim perspective
And I can't wait to violate your prime directive
Change the channel, change your mind, just wasting time
Talk is cheap, but you gotta pay to say your peace
And those who know the most must pay to say the least
The world needs sheep, ditch-diggers, and police
if you can not live without your TV
Yeah the world needs sheep, ditch-diggers, and police
if you can not live without so you can be free
I know that it's too late
I know that it's too late
I've made a grave decision to live without television
and I know that it's too late
