I was dreaming alone like a dog with a bone
And god gave me a thumb to get me into the zone
He said the sicker the bliss is the sweeter the ice cream cone
And there's a million flavors in the star of my hand
When all the people are small and the piano is grand
I said I'm only a thing and I don't have a plan
In my eyes I get so lost in the lightning
That the beat of my heart is cheap as my art upon the market
Shooting for the moon I hit a space station plantation
Slaving for the nation of an ether a provider on the side
I had the fries and the nacho dip
Just trying to get to heaven on a microchip
It's love in the time of robots, we're wired – we're wired
It's love in the time of robots, we're wired – we're wired
California ain't what it used to be
Everyone's looking down at a very black screen
California where did your water go?
You took it from the ground gonna have a new dust bowl
California what are you trying to prove?
To be the exception that only proves the rule?
California it's a golden state of mind
while the devil plays you the blind lead the blind
It's love in the time of robots, we're wired – we're wired
It's love in the time of robots, we're wired – we're wired

Something Sweet

I'm the undisputed chief of all the ill gotten gains
Another eagle eyed liar with the fire and chains
And if you look upon the mountainside it's me who's in flames
Can you save me?
Can I save myself?
Setting sail forever after or just digging a hole -
Could you learn to love me baby if I sold your soul?
You're the bona fide bovine branded for school
A billion years of evolution turned you into a tool
You were dried, fried, electrified
I kissed you in the pool
Can I save you?
Can you save yourself?
Doing tricks out in the sticks just for a lick of my gas
Could you learn to love me baby if I paid for your ass?
Being loyal to the royalty will make you accursed
through all the kindnesses you find that you've been driving a hearse
Down every avenue and boulevard where the dreams are the worst
Can we save this
Can we still go on?
Spurred by the numbers or we're out on the street
Could I learn to love you baby if you gave me something sweet?

Leaving You

Well if love is pain
Then you drove me insane for good reason, didn't you?
Well here I am with a song from your heart
For the dream I was across the desert of your tears
What a beautiful boy and so it goes
I gotta be leaving you
I gotta be leaving you
Well don't freak out, but you left me all alone in there, didn't you?
Well I know it seemed just the thing to do
Now I gotta be leaving you
I gotta be leaving you
And we know as much and try to hide
And maybe we're a little too scared
Of falling down, to make a sound,
To sing when the other isn't there
But now now now now now
Now is the time to stand up and be your own good mother to the world
Be your own good good mother to the world
And the moon will keep me hanging on by a thread
And I love her for it
I love her for it

Tell Me

Tell me you can see what's going on now
Tell me you can feel it won't be long now
Did they tell you a lie and you just can't keep from lying
Did you sell did you buy as the water kept on rising?
When you're stuck in the middle it happens, it's just what happens
Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo
Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo
Take my hand come out of the dark my darling
There's a role that I know you'll be starring in
And what is the sin of living it?

Snap back into reality
You're a hook upon a fish that you call a normality
fried with a side of vanity
It said upon the plastic that it all came free
But it's dry outside where there used to be a stream
You lost it in a dream made inside a blue factory
It's funny cuz you only went inside to be seen
Wearing your shroud like a cloud to infinity
Sitting in your living room
living in your sitting room
Standing up only to see what the light is demanding
The sky is an ocean of loneliness landing
Lo Lo
And all the angels are singing
These hills are scorched by silent fire
These hills are scorched by silence
I found myself trapped going down down down
I found it's easier when your eyes are on the road
These hills are scorched by silent fire
These hills are scorched by silence
I found myself trapped going down down down
I found it's easier when your eyes are on the road

Cruel time old point
Meet the pockets capacity industrial
Empower power even evil antics
Murder purchase pose eaten all fully
Lose and follow vast mass leaving
Their share system suicide english portion
May machine into by death non present
Legislative active of the nowhere
Looking at

Looking at
Looking at
Looking at

Looking at You You
Looking at You You
Looking at You You
Looking at You You
How we, used in a me cell
Amo roll pro all prison dual
King Kali B, provoke acts
Design X, will follow cult age facts
On earth, pure traffic
Our slices and these these and then that too
Looking at You

Real

The sigh of the man selling flowers on the corner
Nobodies buying them
Too busy giving away all of our power
Throw in the wisdom the beauty and the memory too
Tell me did you ever ask a question
Do we need to share our presence on a physical plane?
And did you ever answer like a dog, a dog
Barking at every stranger?
Hiding from the danger in our dreams
Behind the wall the wall of medication
A little girl is running free until
She can no longer see
O sister sister brother brother
Can you feel the same sun that shines on me?
And do you ever wonder
Wonder if
If any of this is even real?
Real

Here she comes again
She's so sweet and heaven sent
You wanna go
Got something to show
Well can you love your sorry self?
Dancing on the upside down way
Dancing on the upside down way
Take a look inside
There's another world
You can go
Where you don't know
Well can you love your sorry self?
Dancing on the upside down way
When you're finally dancing on the upside down way
Making time for romancing on the upside down way
Here she come again
She's so sweet and nasty and cinnamon
You can go
Where you don't
Well can you love your little cell?
Dancing on the upside down way
When you're finally dancing on the upside down way
Making time for romancing on the upside down way

Birdie Bye

I lit the paper of your night
I built the prison of your sight
I nailed the cross with roses white
Because love was all you ever wanted
I made your bed as soft as sand
I moved the mirror in your hand
I begged that you would understand
The peace was only to be haunted
I feel the shape of you sleeping
Comes in these visions
Sounds of you dreaming
I breathe the air of your colors
Soft as a rain falls
You gotta keep warm,
My love
No honeyed home the weeds have grown
No churchyard bells to guide you on
Your god is calling on the phone
He wants to know what can you afford now?
You closed the doors and shut your mind
The walls were creeping up behind
The only thing you had to find
Was how to learn to love the needle
I feel the shape of you sleeping
Comes in these visions
Sounds of you dreaming
I breathe the air of your colors
Soft as a rain falls
You gotta keep warm,
My love
I’ll feed the grist unto your mill
The grit to bring your pearl its will
And smash your chrysalism ‘till
The only thing you’ll have to do is fly
I’ll pit your star against the sky
I’ll split the apple of your eye
The passion of your fruit will die
But thunder is a many feathered bird
Hey Hi, Birdie Bye
Time to fly, time to fly
Someone needs to know the things we sing about
You & I
Hey Hi, Birdie Bye
Time to fly, time to fly
Someone needs to know the things we sing about
You & I

Before the Fire

Honey, you are for the lightning
All that matters is the ebb and flow
So baby, whatever comes your way
Let it go
Love I love you
They paved your mind
Invaded your blood
With pictures of how
They misunderstood
You carried the universe
Under your hood
And you smiled and screamed out aloud
For someone you miss
Is waiting for you
At the end of your garden
Where the trees used to grow
Before the fire
Honey, if you’re lost and frightened
All I’ll say is Now is a place to go
Be a well, words are worlds into
Pebble, flow
Love I love you
So they raved your find
And paid you in gold
For the one thing you did
Not know you had sold
Enough was your way
To die and grow old
And we all just came up around
For someone you miss
Is waiting for you
At the end of your garden
Where the trees used to grow
Before the fire
