lyrics

there’s rumbling below our feet and crumbling pavement. dragons are exploding from the street, we’re failing to chase them. let’s just sit and gaze at another cluster-fuck of scaly amazement. because if we grab a hold of their tails this world wouldn’t make sense. this is what we is. this is what we asked for. never find that in your pocket-book and never find that in your passport. daydreaming ain’t shit. reality is better. better write god your accomplishments and scribble him a cover-letter. yay assimilation. hip robotic apathy. listlessness is life and love is dead. here’s the situation- you’re not really into that, you’re into being into it instead. we don’t want no cookie-cutter shaping our existence. we reject the formulaic life. irony’s delectable but we’ve become the batter because we’re so busy trying not to try. an airy apparition- something less than optimal but something more than vision. something more than possible. but every time this ghost go find a block to build a sculpture, i can’t chase a heart out of a square. rambling and wandering and ambling and pondering and all i ever wanted was a place to do some conjuring. but if you call this posturing self-consciousness a culture, i will always find it hard to care. whether you’re coming or going, it makes no difference darling. bubble-shaped aquarium, i’m up against the glass and i’m tapping. somebody extinguished the flames or how the hell did this happen? fishies fast asleep and if you wake us we’ll be viciously vapid. we used to lucid dream back when our eye-movement was actually rapid. yay participation. immigrant to insular. watch how fucking adamant we shrug. this is not a haven, this is a society. centers of the universe ‘r us. i’m spending all my time right now in silly glossolalia because i can’t get my soul inside my words. you ain’t from around here. you’d know that theatrical rad stagnancy’s the only soul that works. more than beat-bohemia, we’re hipster hemophilia. zany xenophobia disguised as xenophilia. finding causus belli’s been my one and only object. how’d jefferson davis ever win? i saw peter pan outside with scarf and horn-rimmed glasses smoking cloves and acting passive with the ghost of stonewall jackson and i told them if you ever want to start a little project, i can make some noises on a synth.
