put it down that’s too high for a tightrope be careful not to throw it out the window you cover yr mouth when you talk ben put yr bib on put yr bib on ben x2 fire engine sirens silenced the fireworks and rose city sang "fire in the sky" full of floating life polyester sweat tomboyish boys and effeminate girls in the column call em say can you see um seba gonna canta para ti taunted by the dilettante debutante haunted by the dilettante debutante in the columbian coliseum seba gonna canta para ti i was once a simple man everyone does the best he can even if he's just a simple man

frumpdowd tryna stay focused everyone has the right to exist times are hard, cobblestone boulevard clowns dancin' in the pie car skins all dusty n dirty don’t let the dog get too thirsty humpy in the middle, that’s where somebody died soft shoulders with a ditch on each side i may feel rough tomorrow but tonight i feel bigger than the future tools n engines only extensions of a man’s limbs and senses promise they don’t need even a drug puzzlerug nothin goes unmentioned recommended avoid the subject per instructions you cannot object a beautiful song can tell you terrible things don’t open the window or sing i will poke the wasp the future is pornographic i'm a pt cruiser the future is pornographic dinosaur jammin in the trampoline zone dancin' like peanuts to the jezebel spirit a lil too traditional to touch yr groove idm asmr things got plain n i stayed plain

order in the void order to the void i followed him knowing he was a fraud he’d bow and scrape and we’d applaud he said we’re just scraps of paper afraid of the wind the negative side of bad the positive side of good rules established maybe now we can begin carousel companion just a lil bit twins ambiguously strong and strenuously wrong there’s nothin to see so there’s nothing to do here seek order in the void speak order to the void a farewell speech that goes on for years a sweeter a better and a bitter and a lovelier place

i may be humbly indestructible i haven’t had the drive to try i may be numbly untouchable i know you don’t mean to pry don’t ask the image to act don’t ask the image to think i'll say it’s just a trick of memory but youi remember all of existence i might like you more as an enemy can you love me from a distance? i wanna love you from a distance cause i might feel a whole lot better when yr gone (maybe a whole lot worse)

always jealous of those with their thumb in the hose don’t bother him he's in his own zone he’s been feelin' so fine he’s been thinkin' bout life he is twisted enough for a twist of the knife are romantic and tough? then you might wanna stick with me sippin' white wine with her digital mouth she did just what she wanted to say endlessly tragic eternally magic so cut me outta time i’m feelin' classic intensity of lights different kinds of color knights n poets n cowboys romance you can't control tomorrow is a long time ago

do you dream of comfort or do you dream of dreams? shelly said she saw you last it’s not quite what it seems like stuck stucking under water or floating in the stream i’ll haunt yr sons n daughters even when i can’t be seen one size fits all one size fits most never gone long enough to be missed assaulting a stagehand yr last act in life i was reforming performing it was not a fair fight when the herd moves, it moves when they dance, they dance they’ve got nothing to lose they take a chance, they take a chance when she dances oh she dance spectator at yr own performance

chattering ram shattering plans we don’t fly, we float rambam, my man! fast for a worm but watch him squirm read him his rights he’ll come to terms full forced joy i’m an impossible animal kiss my apoca-lips halfassed n wholehogged meet me after the disaster kiss my apoca-lips a lovely mess calamitous success amplify n magnify deep as nothingness nothing is deep historical sweep an atmospheric traffic jam now go to sleep meet me aftrer the apocalypse what will be revealed? i saw a new heaven and i saw a new hell and i saw that we were seven and i saw the place we dwelled we were standin' on the corner we were half as tall we were kickin' down the hill we were rollin' like a ball and you said 'it's the perfect day to be asborbed' and i said 'i don't know what you mean, tell me more" i don't know what you mean

standata 03:47
a rascal with antics of a different age wore a muddysuit in 2000 and 1 was he going to get somewhere to get something to get some or just going anywhere at all to be done? stand at attention touch me stand at attention trust me i guess we’ve had our fun but maybe now we’re done until i know i will stand at attention only squares worry if it’s fair nowhere to go but we got there at last joyless to run straight through to get him first and fast south of my future north of my past the first time we land is the last time we fall the last war we fought isn’t our war to fight

clenching fingers become tired control yr soul’s desire for freedom just keep shifting day to day zero sparrow, lil dirty bird spare no expense n don't waste words i feel like an arrow that could shoot all the way control yr soul’s desire for freedom just keep shifting hand to hand looking for a place to stand you will miss it if you even pause to blink you can tell by the bell this’ll be an easy sell don't say hello all i want is a wink pure human love

feelin so scandy mixin up my sandies bulls and dennys nelsons and nancies hothouse tomatoes hothouse tomoaties i knew you both as true devotees masses master the sublime x2 take turns putting yr face near the urn truth beauty filiotically divine stacy keats stacey achin stacey trace me tracin lines cairo plastic chiromatic cosmopractically aligned iconic and forgotten singin' lalalalalala we're alright all along we're alright all alone stop givin' people hope

about

ATATA tension!
here's a call to arms n legs n heads n asses to everyone from the dancefloor mystics and heartbeat dancers to the aging freaks and the radical romantics.
we painted the roadhouse krautbooogie of 'cantuitone' in vivicolor: clanging synths, warped vox, and clattering beats.
burnsides, juniors, and hookers are jostling for air with weatheralls, thawes, and dusts.
the achtung baby has became grand royalty.
we're 2 high for a tightrope
but tonight we feel bigger than the future.
don't bow down
trust me.
stand ATATA tension
