Track Name: Robyn Byrd
Nowadays everybody wants to talk
She's sublime in ways
She's the woman time forgot

In the snow on the TV
See something you can't unsee
Dead of night
A sick yellow light
In the glow of the TV
Sordid remnants of feeling
In the dead of night
Time flies like light

Awake for days
Trudging buckets full of slop
A familiar gaze
Renders all your hidden thoughts

In the snow on the TV
See something you can't unsee
Dead of night
A sick yellow light
In the glow of the TV
Sordid remnants of feeling
In the dead of night
Time flies like light
Track Name: Earthbound
A giant step right by my house
Where I'm talking to a mouse
Planets are colliding
Put it down in writing
And in my head everything is cool
I got no job, I don't go to school
So jaded it's astounding
Look at our surroundings

Anywhere we go we find a city of complaints
Now there's no way home, just down the highway
Anywhere I go everybody knows my name
Somewhere down the road I sealed my own fate

A giant step right by my house
Where I'm talking to a mouse
Planets are colliding
Put it down in writing
And in my head everything is cool
I got no job, I don't go to school
So jaded it's astounding
Look at our surroundings

Anywhere we go we find a city of complaints
Now there's no way home, just down the highway
Anywhere I go everybody knows my name
Somewhere down the road I sealed my own fate
Track Name: Flesh Wound In Ithaca
Scalding hot in December after dark
Quiet all around
Cars and trucks laying stripped in gravelike rows
By the cell phone towers

A vision of the calm before the storm
A circled date on someone's calendar

Scalding hot in December after dark
Quiet all around
Cars and trucks laying stripped in gravelike rows
By the cell phone towers

A vision of the calm before the storm
A circled date on someone's calendar
Pleading with our stalwart overlords
Dreaming of someone in uniform

Pleading with our stalwart overlords
Dreaming of someone
Track Name: Vermin $upreme
A friendly fascist
He says all the right things
Stentorian voice that speaks to the huddled masses
Salivation across the nation
Subliminal words of wisdom from common vermin

Something tells me you're all infected
I shudder to think what's to be expected

Patrol the mindscape
Your soul in rebates
A patriotic ode to our moral decay
Corrosive forces will lie and cheat you
Who else but a martyr to liberate you

Something tells me you're all infected
I shudder to think what's to be expected
A wanton savior to save us all
And soon we'll be gargling Barbasol
And if we all die he'll stand corrected
Track Name: Prognosis Negative
So it’s thrilling
And I’d really make a killing
What a way to impose your proverbial feelings
So verbose and full of wit
All the shit that you spit
Have you heard about my band?
Talking shit for a living
Well, I’d really make a killing
What a way to impose my proverbial feelings
Slightly vapid but okay
All the shit that you say
Have you heard about our band?
A shadow of yourself
So deep in thought of someone else
Gonna show those fucks what you’re all about
Cos you’re the kind of dude who gets around
A temporary trend or a born again
I should have known by now
But you scour the landscape with such grace
How did you find this place?
A shadow of yourself
So deep in thought of someone else
Gonna show those fucks what you’re all about
Cos you’re the kind of dude who gets around
I’m a shadow of myself
Living in debt to someone else
A sterile vacuum of contempt
A screaming lump of bitterness
Track Name: Rochelle Rochelle
At the mall after school after work and stuff
I do it to the face 'cos I can't get enough, I can't get enough
And my lassie's at home, she's a different breed
She ain't got half a mind for my insatiable need

Something risible comes out of the invisible
Something feasible comes out of the impossible
I'm not a bad guy, just a wayward sad guy
Take me to the land of pneumatic magpies

At the mall after school after work and stuff
I do it to the face 'cos I can't get enough, I can't get enough
And my lassie's at home, she's a different breed
She ain't got half a mind for my insatiable need

Something risible comes out of the invisible
Something feasible comes out of the impossible
I'm not a bad guy, just a wayward sad guy
Take me to the land of pneumatic magpies
Track Name: Lupus
Killing time underwater
No more sons, no more daughters
You're immune, I'm still bitter
Young at heart and lost forever

Got a party to crash, gotta get some ass
Can't spend all my time at the overpass
I'm pretty stupid to think that anything lasts
Can't spend all my time at the overpass

Barrel down an empty highway
I can't see you on a clear day

Not an alcoholic, just drink like one
Hope you found your place out in the sun
And even though I know that the sentiment's dumb
I can't wait to tell you about all the fun

Got a party to crash, gotta get some ass
Can't spend all my time at the overpass
I'm pretty stupid to think that anything lasts
Can't spend all my time at the overpass
