Cementing The Cult
01:48
|
|||
|
Get ’em on the line
Hook ’em when they’re young
Inculcate the parents
You might find it fun
You can see the result
In eyes that stare back
Mouths hanging open
Brainwaves gone slack
Make the rules
Dupe the fools
Intelligence insult
Cementing the cult
Change the rules
Unbalanced fools
Will never insult your
Cementing of the cult
It’s all a barbwire fence
Quit paying all the rents
Roll out that bloody red carpet
For the empire’s swarming drones

Drunken Roman
02:59
|

|
So many mosaics
The wine is disappearing
Into twisted hallway
The game will never end
I’m going into the hallway
After the wine
Which I find
Watered down
They slap me and
Suddenly
I’m at a Roman party
Their swords are drawn
I give them the wine
They leave me without wine
I wake up
Rome is falling
Hundreds run
It’s not fun
’Cause Rome is falling
They slap me
I’m in a Roman plaza
Their swords are drawn
They show no mercy
I scream at the wine,
“This was you!”
Sitting in the underworld
I shatter the bottle
Walk away from the puddle
Then dive into it
Now I still drink
With me and my undead friends
Walk away from the puddle
Then dive into it
Diving into the puddle
Still drinking with my undead Roman friends
My undead Roman friends

Nonic Pints
01:13
|
|||
|
Marching on the wood
In pools and in ranks
Jeweled with the dew
Nonic pints
I’ve got the right shape in mind
My mates
It’s the right shape for what I’ve
Gotta do
Nonic pints

My Lips Are Numb
01:34
|
|||
|
My lips are numb
My bread is dumb
My piss is cum
I broke my thumb
Cream-colored hair
Spread across my head
Got a bad feeling
From the Fed
We’d all be better off if the
Zodiac killer’s doppelgänger was dead
But Lindsey doesn’t have
A gram of backbone

Vince Is Not Happening
01:50
|
|||
|
He is dead
He got himself dead
He got an egg sandwich
And a skullcap
And a comfortable chair
There is no actioning
Vince is not happening
The vinyl is spinning
Rock room is brimming
All for him
Vince is not happening
He’s in the scrapbook
He’s in the beer cooler
He’s dropped his drawers
We’re getting so dead
Taking it to the head
Most likely The Kinks
Vince is not happening

Underworld Overlord
02:38
|
|||
|
As he leafs through
The table of continents
He senses strange modulations
Above the above
Door in the air
Skeleton key won’t fly
Banished to core
Furnaced and poured
Underworld lord
Yellow eyes fixed
On past-life shoguns
It’s the sky that travels
He’s gazing into
Infinity’s mirror
The eye that unravels
Banished to core
Furnaced and poured
Underworld lord
He’s shaving with
Occam’s razor
He was up before the son
Banished to core
Furnaced and poured
Underworld lord
He’s underworld overlord
Now he’s turned on
By Epiphone’s faucet
Lightbulb illuminating
His dark abilities
Tells Medieval Knievel
That petri dish daredevil
“I wanna play all the right metals for you”
He’s underworld overlord

Botanical Punks
01:13

Punks in the trees
Punks in the trees
Put ’em in the zoo
See ’em with me
Flower punks
Flower punks
Flower punks
Fuck off!
Punks in the arbor
Punks in the harbor
No life preserver
Liquid observer
Angry punks
Angry punks
Angry punks
Fuck off!
Punks in the branches
Leafs in the trenches
Punks are all over

Knife Neighborhood
01:58
|
|||
|
Let my lamp
Shine a light in
The dark corners
Of your art
See the rocket
Blast its trail in
The smudged clouds
Of your science
I’m holding off until
You have it all from him
I’m holding on until
We see every possibility
We’re living life
On the serrated edge
In a knife neighborhood
Unsheathe your id
We know what you did
Filleted as they bled
Splayed on the bed
Cutting through the chaos
In a knife neighborhood

From your lips to god’s ears
I really hope I can make
That one happen this year
We’re got our fingers crossed over here
So groovy, Dave
I can do whatever you dig
Sorry, Dave
I can do whatever, you dig?
Are into this shit?
It’s quite the rig in
Mindblowing orbit of Jupiter
From your lips to god’s ears
I really I can hope I can make
That one happen this year
We’re got our fingers crossed over here

Seafoam At Best
01:28
|
|||
|
Verdant times in the frontier station
After the altercation
Grass stain green
Were the trousers
Seafoam at best
Bleach faded
Someone stove in his hat
Park ranger deposed
Claimed UFOs full of
Otherworldly mofos
Reduced Carl’s carriage
To carrion for vultures
They cut loose the horses
Drove them through foam
To the bunker at the
Edge of the zone
Where your uncle ate the apples
He talked about
For the rest of his days
And he earned a nickname

Did you ever hear of the
Scandal in which
Dentistry students
Posed and took selfies beside
Severed medical heads?
Do you ever speculate
Where they get so many
Skeletons with perfect teeth?
Have you ever found yourself
Drenched in flop sweat
In the surgical theater?
The torso’s incision
Inspiring derision
Avail yourself
Treat yourself
Indulge in the best
Bodies on offer
For quick delivery
She’ll run your card and steal the corpus
The cadaver dealer’s wife

Bring Rock To The Kids
01:14
|
|||
|
Lay it down when it’s fresh
Don’t sweat the tone
Let the melody stand the test
There are a lot of chemicals coming at you
Do the work in 8-track garage
Slam all the faders
To the tops of the channels and
There are a lot of melodies coming at you

Where It Always Has You
01:38
|
|||
|
Where we land and hit the target
Breathe hard and
Make the mark on the ground
Plant the flag and be proud
Make your mark on the ground
Plant the flag and
Take part
Where it always has you
And you it
Strangled together
Breathing forever
