lyrics

LOOK OUT!
There's something behind you
Seeping through the cracks in the walls
I cannot tell you where it came from

WATCH OUT!
I needn't remind you
About the safety features built into the wheels
Of those American cars

STEP OUT!
Before anyone can find you
Those existential wind-up files
Are filling up the void inside your head
You better...

SHUT UP!
And unwind
The situation's unavoidable
It's something that I dread

These idealistic views will not eliminate your past
With insubstantial revelations time is running out at last
For the moment it arrives we're not prepared to let them go
Don't give me explanations 'bout the stuff inside your brain
It's not a mass communication but it's driving me insane

DRINK UP!
While the drinks are on me
They're saying maybe we should take a rest
And play around with nasty silhouettes

GADZOOKS!
She knows it's better by far
So stop being so insistent
I'm attracted to resistance, I'm a

FALL OUT!
We've got the get on the road
I'm taking pictures of a bridge lump
Right in the middle of the road

KUNG FU!
It's not reality we perceive
My wounds are bleeding through my ears
This doctor has me on hold

His hypocritical oath his hippopotamus house
He's at the petting zoo tomorrow with a hyperactive child
His undergraduate work his over-activist mind
He's making futile attempts at drilling holes to pakistan
To pardon pakistani pilgrims drumming rhythms in my head

I was blowing tiny bubbles
Little bitty flowers were blossoming in my hair
I was looking at a rainbow
And a beautiful photograph of you
