Just like the x-file where the woman´s mood controls the weather I damaged your x-files poster. We´ll make rain together tape it back together over the blue tac. You blew my hair back I was fooling on your bed Now i´m slicking my rain jack´ Now it´s lost to the ages. Just like the x-files where the main guy was replaced I´ve lost my taste for the scraps I´ve been providing. But you plunge deep and you duck and dive Read up on breathing exercise Is there a "new you" you could visualize with dark tides on all sides? Just like the x-files map you had with the episode names on it. Names I liked of episodes I´ve never seen Things that I´ve never been. Shows and posters lost to the ages in no way important Jose Chung´s From Outer Space I never saw it, did you?

The Soul Cry 02:15
His soul cry was proud when he realised that his sugar snap cannot become a flap jack and his shell will not cover his own back and most floors are for falling through. But that was my soul reaction It´s day four at the Reeperbahn and i´ve still not fired a ray Banging heads eternally here on the upper plane. Getting vague in different ways Firing a different ray That was her sole attraction His soul cry was proud when he realized that his vapours could fit in his real life And his sisters would cheer him on from both sides and a fat skull would in turn materialise. It´s day four at the Reeperbahn and i´ve still not fired a ray Out here on the upper plane banging heads eternally. But that was my soul reaction Are you getting vague?

Outpost 01:13
Un-stab Let me know I know you then re-stab. You capped your pen you´re amongst friends, streaming. (Peet dry and dab) You can´t view a rhythm you´ll just have to join in. Un-stab You can´t view a rhythm I know you´ve been trying Re-stab Peet dried and dabbed.

Bogarding, bogarding There is no planetary reason for bogarding, bogarding Your wife´s spells She´s got that planetary feeling And we feel good witch in this Dim the screen so your face shows in it Oh no he came to fast his party bowl done blowed its load Marks the changing of the seasons And I´m hitting static now but soon enough i´ll fall upon that love vibration. There is no planetary reason for bogarding, bogarding Your wife´s spells She´s got that planetary feeling We feel good witch in this must be that witching season. Oh no he came to fast his party bowl done blowed its load It´s a hex and it´s wrecking season And you´ll feel there´s none but static there but somewhere lies that love vibration

That Gown 03:07
You´ve got the wrong branch wrong grip, wrong stance Your head implants, like the velvet on your young stag´s antlers The great house on the good couch The right self just peeking through the soil bed. Now you reside in the pink beach house wearing white linens Trying not to remind yourself of all those boy shaped storms in those odd uniforms Of blue striped white shirt flared denims. Wrong branch, wrong sound I didn´t bring my ear plugs do you think they´ll play loud? Wrong grip, wrong stance your head implants, like the velvet on your young stag´s antlers The found sound cast that brick down. And when she came screaming that she´d found the van I believed her And in their lounge, on their time I prepped myself to receive her

I know you´re here to be more than you were But please stop stepping on me Or i´ll send you back further than you´ve ever been before

Like beasts what lunge at a ring of fire. Might melt your face off but it might not, Jeff. Feelings unexpressed in the long district. And he says burn off the fog and you obey. You´re on mute you don´t say. Drink none but lime rickey with your new family He´ll hold your legs while you handstand He´s your direct descendant he´s your own man But where does that leave me? We´re dry shaving the morning We get plucked while we´re yawning And if you can´t see through that fuzz you´ll have to exercise that part Cous´ Drink none but lime rickey when you´re away from me. I´ll hold your legs while you handstand I´ll be a direct descendant Be all true man. But I wont split that lime rickey in three.

If the skull bone is bleached I swore that i´d be a good sailor one day I swore that i´d take the full thrill from it one day. But my day was filled with such questions Like "Why did I manifest all of these scorpions?" One time once i received more than my portion And it plagued me until it didn´t Did I do wrong or did I didn´t? Vast and blurred and feeling hell I thought I´d understood it well The almond dried, cracked and bruised my sailing days put to bad use But if the skull bone´s off the latch Soundtrack...

Tasted off The taste bud´s off Above the park hovered Ralph´s theme. In the town What town? This town where you can paint my young heart brown The dust is red and all around If you can put your back into the best i´ve ever had But sometimes life´s brown because I can´t stand my own sound because my wide head chafes the crowd I know I can´t stand world weary eyes Aren´t you new here? (above the park hovered Ralph´s theme) How many channels did they have in your life time? Well they had two here and it´s the best i ever had. But sometimes life´s brown because you can´t stand your own sound because your wide head chafes the crowd I know

Play Meaning 02:20
He thinks like a line of force Phillip my soul crush - worm holing Rosen Bridge On the long, I'd file a brief of his And sink right through the house Into the white wood bed frame I´m running errands again Cherry or pine? But the sun wont shine where the wrist watch sits. And this pack of brains just wont quit their slimy sideways shtick when you play meaning I look the same but I bother me

When the brain span is looping (You duped yourself) I´m a bad friend for ignoring you (Dupe no one else) The crimes they are redeeming but the last time you weren´t interviewed our class got stopped half way through. Either way you see it (It´s so top shelf) In the rear view it´s an animal largely unaccounted for It´s been pinching my lymph node Don´t do it. Featuring The Raging Bull that bull would rage at all us girls send ripples down our slim girl pool and make us feel like life was happening Now I crave a snack You´ll make me feel like life is happening. I don´t want to set the world alight but it´s pushing me to do it Always naming me "Joke Challenger" saying I can´t lift the jeweled sceptre or wrestle myself to the floor, no longer go from naught - to - Claude or cut my own size anymore But i still hear ocean sounds when i put my ear up to the office worker I do! Featuring The Raging Bull that bull would rage at all us girls and shake us out of our small world and Make us feel like life was happening But I crave a snack You´ll make me feel like life is happening wont you?

My boat rode itself over the bank She caught me crying blue tears. He came with a lesser thing as though he were standing in for a sicker, weaker friend Born of a weaker man But my boat rode itself over that bank She caught me crying blue tears I´m alive for several years. Blue tears!

Cavity Low 02:02
Blood´s great when shared with friends When you all tap out when you lose your sense of self Let's grow our nails out and scrape the wax from his face. Blood´s great when shared with friends Opponents more so though Watch "Pop-Up Video" Mums done the big shop so help her bring the shopping in. Mum, that´s cavity low I skin a grape and drop it in my Tango Doesn't effect the flavor, though So I pierce the sofa with letter opener.

Cowlick 02:07
Burial. 11 o´clock. 11.30 Where you´ll have the first taste, is this what i´ve heard? Sloshed in on galoshes nursing that cowlick That shadow you came with is all chewed up and tainted It´s no cherry or pine It´s five fingers and ripe It´s a good life And my collar is pressed
15.
Surge 02:39
The natural woman on the screen unnatural places I have been. Now is actual meaning seeping in through the wood I laid thin? You´ve built a strange home "Aztec Zydeco?" Surge Natural woman on the screen: "Yes?" I´m still a boy would you believe and I´m surging for a victory I´m flipping pancakes at the sea I´m from a good home Surge In the picture, man, you´re eating a baguette. The films just been developed the films still wet.

Armour 01:32
All that time in armour Lance would brick it all up Through December Mum strides Amber In transition, morphing to the breeze But coincidence would do that to me and whatever it was that i was reading but always after five passages the microwave would let off it´s "ping" I don´t go to the salad bar anymore And i don´t expect anything to ever happen to me Another night line backer with just a few more minutes in the black water All that time in armour I just can´t go there now.

Weird, sad and distant having never learned resistance your whole life They deal out my wife sometimes and I pretend that I don´t mind It´s a lie But we´ll need more time from school to decorate our rooms I don´t mind If i danced for him in his fold out cot with the C&A blouse buttoned up I´d be fine. Weird, sad and distant having never learned resistance all your life Set to work to melt the glaze of your kind in your time But we´ll need more time from school to decorate our rooms I don´t mind.

Boy Musk 03:17
Woke up whistling in the crane of your neck soldiered on through bleak disappear soldiered on to breakfast chair knew you were behind me there listening listening to breakfast nook storm shooken window pane flaking paint again waking up whistling causing steam Is this the mind melt you were asking for? here comes the third degree and is that your shadow self I knew before taking a wind and a stretch with your psyche? on his spare couch trying to climb back inside me wind and unwind attempt realigning from the get go! and when the skull ring grins lets me know i´m attending a good one you´ve been a good ghost hope i´ve been a good host but is the web you´ve spun worth defending? here comes the new yarn yet diluted to a weak one And her belly top was back the crystal seed in his mustache and as he removed the hat his boy musk filled our habitat his life's great distraction blocked his routine on the reg! Is this the mind melt you were asking for? here comes the third degree and is that your shadow self I knew before taking a wind and a stretch with your psyche? on his spare couch trying to climb back inside me wind and unwind renew old business you do the death crawl just don´t doubt my instincts we´ll turn this fruit in an instant from the get go In the public swimming house where the blood runs deep I drink smoothie upon smoothie. I flash my grin to those that move me to do it.
