lyrics

Cold room in a damp house
Things you question without understanding
But you know intuitively to be out of place
Silly smells distract you from
The TV turned up too loud
I there are at least ten TVs in this house

An infinite beige impression
To feel damp but alive in all of this
Recharge your soul with pasta and preserves
And other things that you don’t care to dislike that much
Looking down the ever-expanding
Vortex of wives in the love loop
Oh! Beautiful wives!
To fill up a thousand lives of mine

I’ve developed a rather sophisticated cloning device
Makes it possible for me to be in two places at once
And I’m working on an idea
A pretty wacky idea of what I’m gonna do with the other me
Let’s just say
It’s a hell of a finish

[part a and part b from below occur simultaneously]

[part a]
Next week, probably around tuesday
I’m going to buy a bulldozer
And I’m going to run over my other self
with a bulldozer
Starting at the feet
Working my way up
So that the blood pushes right out my eyes

[part b]
Please my lord just
Show me spaces
Where I can get
Squeezed like toothpaste

A monster truck
Or a big rig
Or a baseball game
A context to define myself
A wall to hang these paintings on
These paintings I made for her
Only for her

Looking down the ever-expanding
Vortex of wives in the love loop
Oh! Beautiful wives!
To fill up a thousand lives of mine

I’ve developed a new technique!
A way to structure all of your social interactions
So that you control all those around you
So they will never complain about you
Or the things that you’re not doing
Or the things that you are
You can go to your room
And lay in your bed
And go to sleep for as
Long as you want
Even if you have people in your life
Just cut them off! Just cut them off
And then you construct images of those people
And freeze them in your head
And don’t let them out
Don’t let them move!
Or then they’ll become disappointed in you
And they’ll leave!

An infinite beige impression
To feel damp but alive in all of this
Recharge your soul with pasta and preserves
And other things that you don’t care to dislike that much
Feeling like you’re gonna die real soon

No!
I lost it
I fell down the vortex and lost my legs
Now I have no legs
And I want to be better
Want to be stronger
Probably won’t go down any vortices anymore
