GOOD EVENING, AUDIBLE RAZOR
BLEEDING, AUDIBLE RAZOR
MAKING CUTS IN LINE
NOT THE BEST FOR US
MISQUOTING TIME'S
MUCH TOO OBVIOUS
GOOD TAKE, AUDIBLE RAZOR
GROUNDBREAK, AUDIBLE RAZOR
YOU HEARD, AUDIBLE RAZOR
MURDERED, AUDIBLE RAZOR
MAKING CUTS IN LINE
NOT THE BEST FOR US
MISQUOTING TIME'S
MUCH TOO OBVIOUS
I HEAR THE SOUND
OF OTHER PEOPLE'S GHOSTS
BUZZING AROUND
THE OLD SCHOOL LIE
I HEAR THE SOUND

BUZZING AROUND

Washed Hands City

WHEN I WAS EATING YOUR PUSSY AS IF I WAS ALLERGIC TO EVERY OTHER FOOD
THE TELEPHONE RANG
AND I ANSWERED IT
AND I KNOW WHAT'S WHAT
CAUSE I REMEMBER WELL
UH-HUH
BUT I DON'T KNOW (I DON'T KNOW)
WHAT I SAID (WHAT I SAID)
AND I CAN'T BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE
YOU SEE I
SPENT THE PREVIOUS NIGHT ALONE
A PARANOID DISHEVELED HAT IN THE CLOSET
SOMEONE
A ZOMBIE
HAD SWITCHED MY COMPUTER
I KNOW IT
THE FILES LOOK THE SAME
BUT I BET HE LOOKS JUST LIKE ME
HE ALSO TOOK MY DIARY
CAUSE I DON'T KEEP ONE
ALSO I DON'T CROSS MY T'S
WHAT'S UP WITH BEING A MAN IN THE SMOKY MORNING LIGHT OF THE CANDY YEARS
THEY TOOK MY COMPUTER BUT I'M MAINLY JUST A HUMAN ANYWAY
BUT IT'S THESE ROBOT MOMENTS IN MY HEART
I KNOW IT'S NO EXCUSE, NO EXCUSE
BUT WHEN THE WASHED HANDS CITY FELL APART
I HAD NOTHING TO SAY ON THE PHONE, PHONE, PHONE
WHEN I WAS EATING YOUR PUSSY AS IF I WAS ALLERGIC TO EVERY OTHER FOOD

LATE INTO MY SWEATERS
SHE COILED
MAKING BREATH
NOTHING LESS THAN A JEWEL
AMONGST
THE REST
PREMEDITATION
YOUR BEST GUESS
HERE I AM
GUARDING GRAVES
THERE I WAS
MARY SAVES
MARY'S LEGS LIKE TWO VIOLINS
HER LUNGS LIKE THE COUNTERPOINT
HER SPEAKERS ARE IN HER SINS
PLAYING MY FAVORITE JOINT
HERE I AM
GUARDING GRAVES
THERE I WAS
MARY SAVES
AND IF WITH BOTHER TROUBLE COME
THEN DAMAGE DONE
HIS DUTY
AND SHE LIKE RIPPLED ENVY PLUM
WAS DANGER FRESH
AND FRUITY

I'VE GOTTA
POISON

GOLDTOOTH
IN ME
AND I'VE BEEN HITTING THINGS (LIKE THE OLD PULASKI HALL)
AND I'VE BEEN HITTING THINGS (LIKE THE UNIVERSE WITHDRAWAL)
AND BROKEN
THE APPEAL
GOLDTOOTH PHANTOMS
SCATTERING ON
GRUMBLING GROUND
TOOK AWHILE
TO PUT THAT FIRE OUT
IT TOOK A
COLD WAR
FROST BITE
OUT OF
CRIME NIGHT

I WANT A NEW COLD WAR
I FELT MUCH SAFER BEFORE
I DON'T UNDERSTAND HISTORY
BUT I LIKE TO GO SLEEP
ALIVE
I WANT A NEW COLD WAR
I FELT MUCH SAFER BEFORE
I DON'T UNDERSTAND HISTORY
BUT I LIKE TO GO SLEEP
ALIVE
IF THERE'S A NEW COLD WAR
I’D BE SO CAPTIVATED
I DON'T WANNA WAIT AROUND
HATRED IS THE FERTILE GROUND
OF PROGRESS
THE ONLY REAL COLD WAR
BETWEEN ADULTS AND CHILDREN
OVER THE DEMANDS OF TRUTH
AND THE JEALOUSY OF YOUTH
FOREVER
I WANT A NEW COLD WAR
I'D BE SO HAPPY THEN
I WANT A NEW COLD WAR
I'D BE SO HAPPY THEN
I WANT A NEW COLD WAR
I'D BE SO HAPPY THEN
IF I COULD WALK ON WAR
IF I COULD WALK ON WAR
IF I COULD WALK ON WAR
THEN I WOULD WALK ON WAR
I WOULD BRING THE 80'S
BACK WITHOUT THE FASHION
JUST THE POLITICS OF WHO, WHAT, WHEN
AND I'D BE SO HAPPY THEN

NOW EVERYONE SAID IT WAS THE END OF THE WORLD
BUT I DIDN’T KNOW, I DIDN’T KNOW

BUT I DIDN’T KNOW, I DIDN’T KNOW
BUT IT’S
COMING AT ME
LIKE A FIRE IN THE SKY
PALPATATING
LIKE MY HEART WAS IN MY EYE
NOW EVERYONE SAID IT WAS THE END OF THE WORLD
BUT I DIDN’T KNOW, I DIDN’T KNOW
SHEPARD APPROACHING AND I’M ONE IN THE HERD
BUT I DIDN’T KNOW, I DIDN’T KNOW
BUT IT’S
COMING AT ME
LIKE A FIRE IN THE SKY
PALPATATING
LIKE MY HEART WAS IN MY EYE

I WISH I HAD YOUR CONVICTION
IT'S KINDA STUPID OUT HERE
CAUSE YOU TOLD ME
WE ARE FREE
ALL MY RUNNING, ALL MY FAITH
