Forgot The Car 03:46
lyrics
buy track
I fell asleep, on the beach 5 hours later, the sea had taken her The car was floating, gently soaking 500 gallons of channel water I fucked up badly, what else is new The shame of the family, getting through Don't know what I am supposed to do Can't turn back time, can't fix it now Tidal waves smacked against my face Raged all the way through my spine No-no, no-one's responsible If life is a downward spiral of fuck-ups and bad luck The tow man came, wondered how To make art in such a revolting way And the popo asked if I was on gaz If I got a stroke, what medicine I took I fucked up badly, what else is new The shame of the family, getting through Don't know what I am supposed to do Can't turn back time, can't fix it now Tidal waves smacked against my face Raged all the way through my spine No-no, no-one's responsible If life is a downward spiral of fuck-ups and bad luck An utter failure by design An utter failure by design An utter failure by design An utter failure by design Error 404, a brain wasn't found Instead there was this heap of mash Smashed by the cymbals of Charley Chimp Remaining twists ended up in a crash Tidal waves smacked against my face Raged all the way through my spine No-no, no-one's responsible If life is a downward spiral of fuck-ups and bad luck

Roaming mighty floods Licking magic mushrooms Backed by turtle clan Gator in my pants So threw a crocodile in his face Ran him over right away Sell the drugs at Tampa Bay The turtles asked are you okay So threw a crocodile in his face Ran him over right away Sell the drugs at Tampa Bay The turtles asked are you okay It’s too damn hot Where are the iron ducks Leo’s cousin ‘d buy the shit Where is the goddamn landing strip So threw a crocodile in his face Ran him over right away Sell the drugs at Tampa Bay The turtles asked are you okay So threw a crocodile in his face Ran him over right away Sell the drugs at Tampa Bay The turtles asked are you okay Tazed my face, stayed awake Fuck off, there is a bomb in the case Panic strikes in the atmosphere Distraction made, gave my play Watch them hatch Those little eggs Crawling to the waves ahead Fighting gators for years and years Watch them hatch Those little eggs Crawling to the waves ahead Fighting gators for years and years Watch them hatch Those little eggs Crawling to the waves ahead Fighting gators for years and years So threw a crocodile in his face Ran him over right away Sell the drugs at Tampa Bay The turtles asked are you okay So threw a crocodile in his face Ran him over right away Sell the drugs at Tampa Bay The turtles asked are you okay

These voices were telling me to fly away They’ve never been so convincing Ready for take off immediately Let’s meet at the gates of Shangri-La Fly, fly away, reaching far and high Fly, far away, supersonic launch 'Cause I wanna fly Never crash down Jet stream surfing Steady floating My wings and gear are checked tonight A cat has nine What is only one Clean blood can’t sneak in the void Fly Never crash down Reaching into space and waving at Big Bear Drifting in the roadster, from Pluto back to Mars Reaching into space and waving at Big Bear Drifting in the roadster, from Pluto back to Mars Sun is rising, the dog starts barking Crawling through a moisty garden Ain’t no stopping me in this hour Partner give me some extra power Fly, fly away, reaching far and high Fly, far away, supersonic launch 'Cause I wanna fly Never crash down I don’t need it Why deny it Shut the beast and keep on gliding My wheels are gone I have no tongue How to get back to the ground Fly Never crash down Reaching into space and running from Big Bear Crashing in the roadster, from Pluto back to where Reaching into space and running from Big Bear Crashing in the roadster, from Pluto back to where I don’t need it Why deny it

The Malthusian Trap 04:00
lyrics

Sticks and bones Firestone We’ve outlasted all dinosaurs Bury seeds Turning wheels And then there were these pyramids Steam and oil Fly and roll Speeding like a meteor Human brain Counterfeit Technology will fix the thing Tame the wild, ride the wild, walls to keep out riding wildlings Forging iron, creating armies, kill all them godless bastards Now we own the world, create the world, for all lands, sky and seven seas Masters in craft, high tech art, yet no sign of a time machine Hundred seventy Immortality Where ends our periphery Nuclear power Radio tower Not sure about our final hour Haraka haraka haina baraka Whose place is safe Swedish girls sail Malthusian trap prevailed Could we reverse the scale Could we reverse the scale No Mayday mayday We’re going down Losing altitude So mayday the ship is going down The cargo made it stall Was our weight the cause Or did greed make the call Sticks and bones Firestone We’ve outlasted all dinosaurs Bury seeds Turning wheels And then there were these pyramids Steam and oil Fly and roll Speeding like a meteor Human brain Counterfeit Technology won’t fix the thing So mayday the ship is going down The cargo made it stall Was our weight the cause Or did greed make the call

We're wasting it away Your lives are spilled out on the front porch We're the scum of this age You're so high and dry above Everyone is divided by fate Choice wasn't ours after all But we know what it is that you're after It's the way that you treat the 99 percent This is the way I want to live, because our ways cannot agree This is the way I want to live, because our ways cannot agree Now you owe the world a favor This time the branches will not bend your fucking way In fact your deception might just break them So get the hell out of your day to day screen play I'll wait for you to regain your sanity We all wait for you to regain your sanity This is the way I want to live, because our ways cannot agree This is the way I want to live, because our ways cannot agree We will not follow We will not join you Your reign is based on believes in one's brain The monetary system, rights and restrictions Fears and permission, gods and kingdoms At the end of the day, few know liberty Most are part of your fantasy Take away the imaginary, your ship will collapse any second Take away the imaginary, your ship will collapse any second Take away the imaginary, your ship will collapse any second Take away the imaginary, your ship will collapse any second
