No clothes, no food

Take care of the children

We'll send for you soon

Alien

You find you feel at home

Everywhere

You'll get by

With so much less than anyone

 

Deceived

Entrapment through belief

Disclosure would decree

Accusations would be shed

 

Instead

We stand over the dead

The vultures all well fed

The killer running free

 

Outside the window

The passing night sky

Fills with people I know

Taking me

Home

3 ContributorsCaustic Acrostic LyricsLights out

For the cynical sharps

For their wide-eyed foils

And all attendant props

Supporters of flash

And pan-fried fucks

Who Grease like cops

Throwing round their body weight and

 

I feel dangerous and vexed

Swinging two ton second guess

And every motion just cuts too cruel

(Too cruel, too cruel)

And the implication's

That you're implicated

Like a caustic acrostic

Spelling out your name

 

Lights out

Cause I can see in the dark

Sidewind

My way to the mark of

Fuse lines

Gas-wet for a spark

I crash, I burn, I've fully lost it anyway

 

 

I feel dangerous and vexed

Swinging two ton second guess

And every motion just cuts too cruel

(Too cruel, too cruel)

And the implication's

That you're implicated

Like a caustic acrostic

Spelling out your name

 

And you're nowhere

Lights out loser

The sun came up

The sun came out

The sun did us in

The sun came out and tore us up

It ripped the shit out of our behinds

And we drove home on towels

Off the heat of the seats

With sand in our teeth

All right, all right

 

 

Float on the ocean

Float on the sea

Float on the ocean

(Float, float, the sun [?])

Lie on the ocean

Float on the ocean

It's all right

Down on the sea

Lie on the ocean

Float on the ocean

(Floater) [?]

(Gone) [?]

Gone, yeah [?]

... The breeze [?]

... Clouds [?]

Lie on the ocean

Lie on the sea

Lie on the ocean

Water and wave under

So what?

Down

(Down, down, down)

Lie on the ocean

(Down on the ocean)

Down on the sea

(Down on the sea)

Lie on the ocean

(Lie on the ocean)

Down on the sea

(Down on the sea)

 

 

Not brave but

We're down for the count

All right

[Verses 1 to 5: Picciotto]

 

Here's an all new version

Teeming with distractions

Trojan horse rolled backwards

Mastered by your own device

 

Then splice

Then cut in

The sad and sorry image

O Some grinning 'caster

Staring at a sinkhole

Piling up disasters

Marking the footage 'raw'

Now parade the muscles

Trying to make their dicks grow

Warring with their bodies

Dimensions oversold

 

And I wonder

"I wonder if I pierce it

Will my body stop lying to me?"

Now mouthing mile a minute

Blasting like a furnace

Fogging up the lenses

With the dampness of spew

 

 

[Chorus: MacKaye & Picciotto]

 

Loss of concentration

Loss of obvious

(It's a stock set-up)

Loss of concentration

Loss of obvious

(It's a stock set-up)

Laws of stimulation

Signed anonymous

It's just a stock set-up

 

[Verses 6-7: Picciotto]

 

Man check it out!

A well worn cop's shoe's

Kicking out a door frame

Classwar extra

PR-ing like a foreman's dog

"What a slob

But I guess you know

He's got to make a living somehow"

 

Tossing a wild eyed greaser

Right onto the pavement

Scanned into the bright light

Maxing the pixels to glow

 

 

[Chorus: MacKaye & Picciotto]

 

Loss of concentration

Loss of obvious

(It's a stock set-up)

Loss of concentration

Loss of obvious

(It's a stock set-up)

Laws of stimulation

Signed anonymous

It's a stock set-up

 

[Post-Chorus: MacKaye]

 

How did it come to this

Huh, huh

How did it come

Come to this

How did it come

To mean nothing but this?

 

[Outro: MacKaye & Picciotto]

 

It's all I can say

It's all I can say
