lyrics

redress yourself
and dig the right corpses—
youre holding your horses
are they dead enough for you to beat
in 4/4?
or are you ‘proto-motorik’?
flexing your new lexicon.
put a better sweater on.
and in most circles
there’s nothing wrong with it—
it’s just pretty songs by pretty people
and it’s tough for me to give a shit.
have i failed hedonistic calculus?
am i heart-over-brain from cradle to grave?

what you mean to say is ‘have you no heart?’
what you mean to say is ‘we care a lot’
but you say ‘they’re great,’
and they say theyre not,
it’s so intimate and crude, you know.

how did you clone a drone?
it’s not light scattered sparks of light.
there’s a nod to the mystical
that’s like a kick in the testicle.
the same bands play the same shows every night.

and we’re taking bets on who’s
nearest the spirit.
i might need to be saved,
cos i’m a fairy.
so clap your hands (like this)
cos if you fail to believe in me,
i’ll simply cease to exist.
