I can't explain my life today
The beats are quite erratic
Since that person spoke to me that way
It really was traumatic
Now my head is like a radio
That picks up only static
I say: no no no no no no no no
The twitches are distracting
And the dizzy spells sporadic
So I cannot help to think these things
Are probably symptomatic
Of a new kind of condition
That is idiosyncratic
I say: no no no no no no no no
I go to see my doctor
But the bastard's so dogmatic
He prescribes the same things every time
He runs on automatic
Plus I'll never trust his judgement
Since he liked "The Life Aquatic"
I say: no no no no no no no no
Now I find that sounds are blinding
And some words are aromatic
And I suddenly black out
And wake up hiding in my attic
But there is a real solution
And the thought makes me ecstatic
I'll say: no no no no no no no no
No no no no no no no no!

I don't mind the food on your breath
The grease on your fingers
The stuff in your teeth
I don't mind the things that you say
Your eyes look away
I think that's... okay...
I can love you...

I have this unframed painting - the artist was confused
A dozen wilted matchbooks that I'll never use
A box of unpaid tickets I got in other states
And letters from old friends that I now kinda hate
So long to all the things that manifest in my reality
So long to clutter rotting in my core
Let's push it to the curb and pray
For divine luck and sympathy
I hope I don't need this stuff anymore
A milkcrate full of comic books - no these aren't mine
A former lazy resident left these behind
A pile of screwdrivers and yep no phillips heads
Here's a high school textbook that I never read
So long...

All the righteous feeling pity for the critters in their bin
They're the furthest from the city
Still they capture life within
The land is an ocean - no lifeboat
The sand is in motion and I can't float
All the crickets on the carpet and spiders in the sink
They're so honest they can't help it
They act and never think
Your words are like daggers on my throat
My soul stands and staggers - the scapegoat
And I'll sail towards the horizon a lifetime's miles away
You can't withstand the bright sun
So in the hive you'll stay

I made a call - don't expect an answer
I sent e-mail - did it ever get through?
I spent a week making a shitty press-pack
Just so I could play your lame venue
Well never mind
It's kinda late
I'm way too tired
I'm 38!

There's a notion I'm uncool - that's a fat lie
Time for you to go to school and to learn why
I'm all the rage
And your little world's my stage
There's a motion to dismiss - that's a hate crime
'Cuz here's an ass ripe for your kiss - take your sweet time!

How's the world you made up?
Is it all you ever thought?
Do people even live there?
You shouldn't count the ones you caught
And don't believe that all the things you do
Are honest, worthy, true
That's quite a pair: your ego and you
Will you ever grow up
Or rely on endless charm?
Reality is painful
Soon it will grab your arm
And pull your hair and punch you in the face
With elegance and grace
And maybe then you'll join the human race

Matt Lebofsky recommends:
Dowsing Anemone With Copper Tongue
by Kayo Dot
A stellar album among zillions in the whole Kayo Dot/maudlin of the Well collection. Sadly out of print. Buy all of Toby's stuff. The more you listen, the more you will achieve telepathy.
go to album
All Things to All People
by Research & Development
The latest from this awesome big band. Epic jazz prog love.
go to album
The newest album by miRthkon! It's a real mind destroyer. An epic journey through time and space and mud and sweat and fear and loathing and love and rage. The grotesque cycle of life.
