lyrics

it's time to start some shit
and never finish it
and if i've made it to the end of the song
then i'm doing something wrong
but it all depends on the light you shed
and if the ears on your head
want to hear what needs to be said
nobody likes a downer
dead truth like a fish out of water
drowning in the air that surrounds you
this is going nowhere
blowing glass from sand without heat
laying words to sleep on a barren bed that's already been made
and a tune that was never in my head is keeping all the msifit little syllables awake

kicking their feet and fucking up the sheets
the pillow is hot
caught cold in the arms of indefinite unrest
unready for the test for everything and nothing

recite the verse til it sounds like choking
spit and spittle words are brittle
but they are all i've got
and even still i'm not too hot on syntax and structure
her and she and you and me
pronouns are bullshit when no one is anyone
and material is nothing worth saving but it doesn't stop my
earthly craving trivial saving scrapping and slaving
i love to wave my dead flags of self importance and
i love to hate myself
hare krishna hare krishna krishna krishna hare hare

You get Radio Wire Empire." - Tramps Upstairs ... more
