Fade into… fade into a pin of light
Red lips shine… red lips shine in a high def style
Turn onto… angled models posed on white tiles
Cut to news… top story was the love of her life
Tears like dew… tears like dew from those cinema eyes
She acts her reaction to…
Those scenes you see are cut to carry you away
Those scenes you see have cracks that stop and
make you wonder about them
What’s behind the mirror?
What’s on at 2:00?…
Five on an island compete for a prize
Pin focus… not seeing the whole picture in time
A man-made moon never crossed her mind
Like arcane notes in a Vonnegut style
Still longs with… still longs with those cinema eyes
She acts her reaction to…
Those scenes you see are cut to carry you away
Those scenes you see have cracks that stop and
make you wonder about them
What’s behind the mirror?

Another drone in your head
Trying to keep one step in front of the dead
Streets will grind outside your window
Your thoughts are fixed on how the sound you make goes
Over talk on phones to make the bread
Empty tones with souls made of lead
Your mind is like a gentle flower
That screen will fry your brain within an hour
When you go out to the shows there is always
an unpleasant sight to greet you
Another Drone
Assisted by automatic limbs
The vain the possessed down at the gym
They go from one void to another
Weekends with their digital lovers
You see her pass you down the street with one g
loved hand, she says she wants to meet you
Another drone / Another drone
Another drone in your head
Trying to keep one step in front of the dead
Let’s remain here for one more hour
Play back some tracks and restore our power
Looking out over the parked cards you tell the city
“Yes, I’m going to beat you.”

Write yourself again — one word, two, five… ten
You’re a man of unknown fate
Who reaches out with a lot to say
At the terminal you stay late
As light shine over the artificial bay
Don’t stop, your imagination is so on fire
They are collecting you through wire
And you give yourself away in many words a day
Write yourself into the void again
Connect another dot to dot
Waste your time on it
As you reach out nothing feels air tight
You then shut down and you’re out of it
You’re a woman of unknown fate
Pass by boys swinging through the electric gates
And you think “Yes, the situation has gone sour”
As they memorise your face in this place
Where rules forget to play
So you throw everything right into the bay
Write yourself into the void again
Connect another dot to dot
Waste your time on it
Coast to coast your secrets are locked up air tight
You then shut down and you’re out of it
Write yourself again — one word, two, five… ten
Give yourself away — one, two, six, eight… ten

Fool For A Day
04:53

Chances are for the taking
When you’re solid and headstrong
Narrowing on an image
Throwing the rest in the scrap
Fortified, fixated
Yet you might have the facts wrong
Certain that something is missing
Without checking your pockets first
Rising up on an ill-thought tide
Can make for a very bumpy ride
Rising up on an ill-thought tide
Without thinking you’d fall down
Thinking slowly
Talking boldly
At best you may not melt in the lights
You might be the fool for a day
You’re standing on one side
But there’s twenty-five others
With views that don’t shine in silver and gold
But they happen to be strong
You won’t stop for a minute
Too many questions, avoiding the question
Starting to look like a cracking crook
When you’re sweating bullets
It’s getting bigger and it may not stop
Until they stick your flag at the top
It’s getting bigger and it may not stop
Without thinking you’d fall down
Thinking slowly
Talking boldly
At best you may not melt in the lights
You might be the fool for a day
Then forgetting it all as you may…

Exploded, flying out
Over many years of change
Exploded into dust
The entire picture
Scattered in rust
Mysterious signs
Flashing over and over
Long and tagged thoughts
Cycling slower and slower
Cynical yet fighting
To keep the path straight ahead
Broken yet hopeful
To keep the balance on its head
Mysterious signs
Flashing over and over
Long and tagged thoughts
Cycling slower and slower
Hang your dreams on the outside
Keep your thoughts on the outside
Long and tangled thoughts are part of who you are to be
