Take the Slip n Slide to Lazer City a magic carpet ride is all that you need and if you feel yourself long to be dancing they do some dancing in the city indeed from the ivory ballrooms of Mercury to the interstellar dives of Mars I'm not lyin when I say that they're flyin to the sound of esoteric guitars in a mirrorball kind of spaceship there's a navigator drunk on the sun there's a taudry tart wearing a unitard cause she thinks that she's the lucky one All around the rings of Saturn people working just to earn their chance to take a rocketship to lazer city take my hand and I will show you romance from the ivory ballrooms of Mercury to the interstellar dives of Mars I'm not lyin when I say that they're flyin to the sound of esoteric guitars in a mirrorball kind of spaceship there's a navigator drunk on the sun there's a taudry tart wearing a unitard cause she thinks that she's the lucky one woo-hoo, lazer city!

Hello, are you the Octopus? Could everyone one of us be guided by the light of the damned? You're like a symphony and even though I see the conducter I will suffer for you if you will lose control go down the rabbit hole will you be jaded by the cadence of love? it's like a rubiks cube lit by a vaccuum tube, and the hourglass is passing so fast octopus you left me on my own to my devices with a crisis for my throne you've got the frequency I need just to go on forever stop just will you answer this- is your love bottomless? will it recognize a trojan horse? or, in a tragedy, will you abandon me and leave me on my shadowless course it's a two way line beyond the end of time and it makes me wanna scream like a ghost let's raise a glass to love, if there's a sky above and improvise some kind of toast Octopus remember what I said, "You'd be cheating if you're beating a horse that's dead" You've got the frequency I need just to go on forever Octopus, you've got me screaming like a ghost

A dreamer I will always be riding the raygun frequency neon queen in ecstacy of ambience and vanity It's alright It's outta sight It's alright There ain't gonna be no afterlife there aint gonna be no heaven high laugh at me now, but I can see of ambience and vanity I look good Im gonna fly I look good The ladder holds but one to climb together with love is lifes design the hand that is led tied too believes of ambience and vanity It's alright It's outta sight It's alright and you never saw it coming..

"Looking down on little Earth, I witnessed a great explosion. Words, colors, light, in every direction. Eyeballs glanced, tongues met, in a majestic primordial lava. It rained for months." In diamond irrigated sacrament I offer my tender heart to your pyre Technicolor plexiglass is casting shadows tall and wide can I walk the fiberoptic tightrope into suicide? amber-colored insect orgies atrophying every pore somehow there's a candelabra harvest light beyond the core abdicate the king, castrated plated by the golden ore bluebird chewing down the ashes promise not to sing no more paradox the clockman had a diamond made of spanish coal savoring the flavor in a corsican made porcelain bowl in stereo the scarecrow screamed to a flacid ear of dying corn and of abortion, the page was torn, the pantheon was never born

Given the choice of losing my voice I'd rather not talk to you my thoughts are wasted and my lips remain pasted when you're forcing your point of view hey big spender, you're a major offender of the laws that you set in stone when it comes down to having to see you I'd rather be left alone we all have good excuses that make us seem more than useless Watch where you're going! Don't you know that you're slowing us down to slower than you? You've gotta make it and we've gotta take it but don't make me a fool like you Don't be a dick, man your mind is like quicksand and I feel like I'm drowning in mud you call it talking but I feel like walking when you're pulling the cosmic pud there's something about your wiring you have to admit that it's tiring The achetouthis, the lips that don't kiss they're broken in two the line in the sand, the light in my hand is buried by you Beautiful dreamer is an everyday schemer for affections that you can't win Life is the hardest when you try to be honest with the people who's ears are tin if I sound callous, understand that I'm Alice in a Wonderland I can't change! A weight on the shoulders- with each year I get older but the narrenschiff stays the same. The achetouthis, the lips that don't kiss they're broken in two the line in the sand, the light in my hand is buried by you Given the choice of losing my voice, I'd rather not talk to you. My thoughts are wasted and my lips become pasted when you're forcing your point of view.

When I'm alone in my lighthouse when the sirens sing I fell the concentration and vibration of things I see the triangle golden in beholding of you setting sail for the season of the things we can do How can I reach you? There's a crack in the hull that I want you to know about it's a delicate thing but I'm sure that we can work it out. If I say I think about you would you let me sink without you? too much fog to get my warning through..

Lonliness is always laughing, "Give me something everlasting something they can all get hep to like the tuning fork of neptune" In a moment, here and gone twilight lights the night of dawn Surely, someone somewhere's waiting for a boy who's concentrating on the world inside his iris looking for a way that's timeless Everyone will be there soon but until, still out of tune Lamplight, all going white, fading from sight does that sit right with you? Last rites, last time around, into the ground without a sound from you
