Living In A Factory

Runnin through my options
Trippin through my memory
Sitting in the back room
Sippin on synthetic tea
Why are we so different?
Searching for humanity
They treat us like machines and
Life is just a factory
Seen you on assembly lines
Baby won't you talk to me?
I wish that we could go outside
Maybe would you leave with me?
It's getting close to closing time
Then we can be so free
They shut us down one at a time
Living in a factory
We all go down assembly lines
From A to Z
A lifetime of inspections
It's the mark of quality
Replicated every time
It's so plain to be
We pretend we're all alive
In this factory
I'd love to help you to unwind
One of my favorite fantasies
The clock is always stealing time
Freedom's just a memory
Can you hear those quitting chimes
One of your favorite melodies
They shut us down one at a time
Living in a factory
They shut us down one at a time in a factory

Got an old guitar and a brand new pair of shoes
The sun and wind are rearranging all my blues
Feel the console hummin as the turbines start to spin
And I don't give a damn about this mess I'm landing in
Gonna take off! We're gonna break off!
We got this yoke that we gotta shake off
There's something lackin, so quit yer yakin,
You know it's time to release the Kraken!
And what I know, that's fo' sho'
Is that I gotta go to
Rock! Rocket city gonna rock!
Can't stop til you take off!
Well a whole town of rockets is a sight I never seen
But I read all about it in a pinup magazine
Got a pump shot laser and a boxing kangaroo
So we don't get eaten in a freakshow barbeque
Gonna take off! We're gonna break off!
We got this yoke that we gotta shake off
There's something lackin, so quit yer yakin,
You know it's time to release the Kraken!
And what I know, that's fo' sho'
Is that I gotta go to
Rock! Rocket city gonna rock!
Can't stop til you take off!

Dog Eat Dog
04:25
|

The hours melt away like butter
On a lukewarm frying pan
One day bleeds into another
As we cross the wasted land
On the seventh day we came to a crater
The road dropped off like a heart attack
Headed south to the border
Miles of empty smiles were at our backs
We got dog eat dog kinda faces
And a club near at hand
When we wake from our stasis
We do the best that we can
When we first crashed down my head was pounding
Smoke boiled off the oil pan
All alarms they were sounding
This wasn't written in the plan
On the seventh day oh the gods got angry
Cannibals went on the attack
We slept in shifts to keep our senses
And the knives out of our backs
Got dog eat dog kinda faces
And a club near at hand
The only rule in this place is
How to best serve man
Dog eat dog kinda faces
And a kink in the pants
When we wake from our stasis
Do the best that we can
Well it seemed to me you were drowning
Reached right out and took my hand
But you'd not piss on me if I was burning
I begin to understand
on the seventh day we all got hungry
Had to stop off for a little snack
Sharpened our knives to ease suspicion
And to cut a little slack
Got dog eat dog kinda faces
And a club near at hand
When we wake from our stasis
We do the best that we can
Dog eat dog kinda faces
For the robotic band
Every meal in this place is
Just a one night stand
Do the best that you can!

Cold sweat delirium
Sea glass in your hair
Sirens on the air
Ice age invertebrates beware
Protect yourselves
Appear on shore
Dragged from sleep
Down, down down to the deep
Drenched in light
still dark green
Down down down to a hypno scene
And bear in mind
That everyone knows
We are the lucky ones
The shattered ones, the live, the few
With secrets that you wished you knew
But I should have stayed on the ground!
Cause then we'd be all right
Then we'd be fine
The gauges don't lie and the air's all gone
I guess we'll be all right
I guess we'll be fine
But the gauges don't lie and the air's all gone
You said we'd be all right
You said we'd be fine
But the gauges don't lie and the
Air's
...all
...gone

Love Shark!

Love shark! Love shark!
Dalai Lama
Love shark! Love shark!
Barack Obama
Love shark! Love bites!!
I ... love....
See you swimming in your shark skin suit
See you sliding through the door
And the image is a little bit skewed from
My perspective on the floor
Heard you fuckin with my radio
Someone said you stole my car
And you're living by a mantra now
You took a little too far
Love shark! Love shark!
I still feel your bite
Love shark! Love shark!
Keeps me up at night
Love shark! Love bites!!!
Love shark is a friend to me
That's what everybody say
Keeps shooting down my frenemies
When they get in my way
Love shark is a dinosaur
Isn't really that evolved
Cartilaginous to the very core
So resistant to assault
Love shark! Love shark!
I still feel your bite
Love shark! Love shark!
Keeps me up at night
Love shark! Love bites!!!
I still feel your...
I still feel your....
I still feel your...
I still feel your bite!
Love shark! Love shark!

Eternity

The clock stops honey
Tick tock ticking in the hallway
I wind them up they only wear me down
Though I think I'm speaking I am only
Making little clicking sounds
Well I wander through this doorway
A hundred million years ago
I'll tell you all about it but there's
Things you shouldn't really know
Immortality is cheap when
Everything you love is cracked and died
Besides... forever is a long, long time!
Forever... forever... forever... is a long, long time!
Will you write for me a letter
There's something I would like to say
I looked into your future and I know you're
Getting out some day
In stylus on papyrus let's get this epistle
Started right away!
I'm sorry that I'm sorry
I'm sorry that my well ran dry
Tell my mother that I love her
And I never meant to make her cry
Lost here in eternity
Don't spend your life wait for me besides
Forever is a long, long time!
Forever... forever... forever... is a long, long time!

Rain of Change

Your red sun way up in heaven
You know that it feels the rain of change
There's nothing you can do
For me or for you
Just irradiate
Rain, rain, rain
Rain of change
Well it's comin
Rain, rain, rain
Rain of change
Well it's fallin
Washin us all away
I loved a girl, skin blue like water
And she said that she liked the way I sing
Her eyes shone like pearls
In the news of the world
But for some folks she was just
Another thing
And we think our stars just shine with no trouble
But our lives are smoke-thin time in a bubble
And I rarely regret all those things I forget
But I always get wet in the
Rain, rain, rain
Rain of change
Well it's comin
Rain, rain, rain
Rain of change
Well it's fallin
Washin us all away

Help please, is anyone there
Anyone, anyone answer?
Help please somebody out there
Answer me anyone
Help please, is anyone there
Anyone, anyone answer?
Help please, we're prisoners here
Answer me anyone
The containment force is running out of power
The heat's been building up these last few hours
Swear the whole thing's really gonna blow
Breakin up, god damn this radio
Hey you get us out alive
Get us out alive, save us from the fire!
Hey you get us out alive
Streams and green and white
Will fill our skin and bones with light
Until we all ignite!
Help please, is anyone there
Anyone, anyone answer?
Please please somebody out there
Answer me anyone
Please please, somebody who cares
Somebody, anyone answer?
Please please, Somebody out there
Answer me anyone
The containment force is running out of power
The heat's been building up these last few hours
Swear the whole thing's really gonna blow
Breakin up, god damn this radio

Get us out alive, save us from the fire!
Hey you get us out alive
Streams and green and white
Will fill our skin and bones with light

Alchemist, Alchemist
Please turn my lead heart to gold
Make all my organs a
Glittering sight to behold
But I wanna leave something for show
When they draw out my soul through my nose
Put it in a jar
Rocketman, Rocketman
Take me to work when you go
Promise to only bring questions whose
Answers you know
I know that it's cold and it's far
But I wanna get close to a star
It's so hard, here in a jar
Love discover we're
Deep in the future it seems
The circles are real but the
Lines just exist in our dreams
These days I just can't see the sky
But it's clean and it's warm and it's dry
So please, leave my trapdoor ajar
So I can feel the moon and the sun and the stars
It's just a breath of my little lead heart
Here in a jar

Rock & Roll Shoes

You got your rock and roll shoes
You're practically a dinosaur
With your 12 volt robotic blues
And that old pre-war guitar
The Elders wanted you to stay
Down on the farm
But a dream pointed you the way
And the bells started ringing in your head
Like some five-o-nine alarm
Lights on the horizon glow brighter each day
And those towering rockets
Oh, they're gonna take you
So far away!
So come on, climb aboard
We're heading to the stars
Struts are go and rockets roar
Distance obscures the deepest scars
Cause out in the streets there's chaos don't ya know?
It's far too maddening to stay
So come on down to the show
We're gonna take you so far away
Those rockets glare
Go flying through the air
As all those mutants stare
It's gonna save the rest of your heart!
It's gonna save the rest of your heart!!
