BREAK
can't ask for more so why unfulfilled we
take apart everthing we build had it right here but now
it's gone on and on break
PLACE POSITION
all origins are accidental you've got no
papers and no roads lead home anymore chance is the root
of all place position all maps are random all scales are
wrong legal illegal no passion for the difference legal
illegal false premise forge the nation may all your borders
be porous free transmission smear genetics c est la vie
yawn yawn yawn i can't stifle my boredom so why not act
your age fear of contagion the violence of a fence builder's
dream that masks the phrasing of "all the pleasures
of home" legal illegal i want to go home
RECAP MODOTTI
recap in taxi no clothes no food take care
of the children we'll send for you soon alien you find
you feel at home everywhere you'll get by with so much
less than anyone decieved entrapment through belief disclosure
would decree accusations would be shed instead we stand
over the dead the vultures all well fed killer running
free outside the window the passing night sky fills with
people i know taking me home
NO SURPRISE
hey what's your name? do you feel the same
way too? siphon fuel don't make a sound and most of all
don't let me down it comes as no surpriese we're destabilized
lock eyes shared plan no c.i.a. could understand defile
define critique and salve no c.i.a. no n.s.a. no satellite
could map our veins
FIVE CORPORATIONS
moves so slowly grows so smoothly takes
so neatly it's as if they belong and they've been here
all along grows so smoothly moves so slowly takes completely
it's as if they belong and they've been here all along
this one's ours let's take another check the math here
check in ten years clusterfuck theory buy them up and
shut them down then repeat in every town every town will
be the same this one's ours let's take another five corporations
there is a pattern
CAUSTIC ACROSTIC
lights out for the cynical sharps for their
wide-eyed foils and all attendant props supporters of
flash and pan-fried fucks who grease like cops throwing
round their weight and i feel dangerous and vexed swinging
two ton second guess and every motion just cuts too cruel
too cruel and the implication is that you're implicated
like a caustic acrostic spelling out your name lights
out cos i can see in the dark sidewind m way to the mark
of fuse lines gas-wet for a spark i crash i burn i've
fully lost it anyway and you're nowhere lights out loser
CLOSED CAPTIONED
your etiquette your rules on interaction
what are you waiting for? nobody's home we're all out
trying to find one what are we waiting for? the recipe
a clear connection the time the time the time the time
the direction we just want we don't know this one wants
the art this one wants the politic everybody wants their
own damn station if we're so fine maybe you can tell me
why no one counts until they're dead i asked you, i asked
you a question, i just want i don't know the imperfections
are here to find if your position is so unkind everything
is not alright and since we live in present tense the
only hopeof making sense all depends on the source of
light everything is closed captioned so come one
FLOATING BOY
the sun came up the sun came out the sun
did us in the sun came out and tore us up it ripped the
shit out of our behinds we drove home on towels off the
heat of the seats with sand in our teeth alright down
on the ocean down on the sea water and wave under me we're
no brave but we're down for the count alright
FOREMAN'S DOG
here's an all new version teeming with
distractions trojan horese rolled backwards mastered buy
your own device then splice in then cut to the sad sorry
image of some grinning 'caster staring at a sinkhole piling
up disasters making the footage raw now parade the muscles
trying to make their dicks grow warring with their bodies
dimensions oversold "i wonder if i pierce it will
my body stop lying to me? now mouthing mile a minute blasting
like a furnace fogging up the lenses with the dampness
of spew loss of concentration/ loss of obvious laws of
stimulation/ signed anonymouse it's a stock set up man
check it out! a well worn cop's shoe's kicking out a door
frame classwar extra pr-ing like a foreman's dog "what
a slob but i guess you know he's got to make a living
somehow" tossing a wild eyed greaser right onto the
pavement scanned into the bright light maxing the pixels
to glow how did it come to mean nothing but this?
ARPEGGIATOR
(instrumental)
GUILFORD FALL
down at the station we question our rations
but you seem satisfied with the little recieved fractured
appetite with bismuth pink on tap ascetic limbs gone tight
and your lips are clamped and grey crash your appetite
erasing every mark you make standing in the corner while
you're working up your mantra 'derail the train the train
the train derail the train' take the time to hesitate
while what's glistening on your plate goes dry and cold
and not in your mouth alright you see your programmatic
mind surrenders appetite and you crash yourself all over
the place snake ingest 40 times their body weight but
you you emaciate you crash your shit all over the place
now open your mouth!
PINK FROSTY
animosities and apologies back and forth
we struggle, falter, refrain with glue and string and
deciphering we try, try, try to stay together despite
the pain it's no our first time through nor our waterloo
back and forth from situation we move to episode but if
we can find some piece of mind intertwined the delivery
is worth the load
F/D
son of a gun and knife and bomb son of
a bitch earned every stitch son of a father's son yes
i know i'm one now it's time to pull the switch touch
with your eyes drool with my eyes touch with your mind
drool with my mind touch with your eyes drool with my
eyes touch with my mind drool with your eyes pornsmanship
and sales filtrate shoulder blades and things concave
and every smile that marks a lie dressed in silk and flavored
milk bred in bone and finely honed to always sell what
we can't own
