lyrics

Well, I have house rules
Any guest should know
Take off your clown shoes
For common ground below

Don’t ask, don’t tell
The cosmic telephone knows very well
Knows very well

To put some names on you fools
Three opportunists in a row
I wrote out some guide rules
That any fool should know

Won’t stop, won’t fail
The cosmic center will shift to hell
Shift to hell

Foil wear
Large lizards
War tide
Rambling strangers
A flat earth
With sharp edges
Hidden teeth
Like burning matches

Pink desert
I sit in silence
Pandering, pandering
It’s fleeting time
Form a line
Come around
Make a sound

Dead weight
In nice strollers
Big lies
On screaming cardboard
Heading up
To moron island
Like stray cats
Causing havoc

Don’t you give in!
Is this canon?
Come around
Make a sound

Windy days in June
The cosmic shape shifter plays his tune
Windy days too soon
The cosmic shape shifter plays his tune
And for a while
It’s in style

Spreading faster, spreading faster
Set your alarms
For major harm
Soon, soon
