watch us blue eyed cyclops
with your half grand telescope
capture what you can't keep
while it flows around you
your carl sagan fantasies are ending
lift your empty burdens
while your self evaporates
hide from those that seek you
make a burrow of a nest
your carl sagan fantasies are ending
you sit inside the sky and think of nothing
your carl sagan fantasies are ending
you sit inside the sky

hildergard with her pen

held in the fist of a man

The old phone rings like a clockwork nightingale
An endangered species
The old phone rings like a clockwork nightingale
In the empty lab
And they breathed heavy gases
And they heard the sounds of machines turning on
The rain fell down for four nights
from a tumbling sky
The water fell around the rim
of the planetarium

shaking in museum lobbies
when she sees installations
when he receives information

{Patrick's long shadows
Patrick's long shadows are shorter than spider legs
in the desert morning }x2
He can see them behind their satellite
blinking in the night x2
He can see them blinking
like a signal light
like a signal light on the road.

At this rate, she'll never make officer 2x
they might sneak her in with the enlisted men
but she'll get no better offer
At this rate, she'll never make mother 2x
cause her body gonna hit her,
like the fist, of another

You were wearing pearl ribbons 2x
In the Vermilion
You slid through the muddy water 2x
In the River

Constables cannot tell the difference between
trees in the garden
Flickering fluorescent lights enter data in
periodic smoking breaks
building a database of all children
building a database of all children
matrons in jack boots write down all they see
horses with sacks at both ends
dessicate glass eye forgets all it sees
fall through the cracks in the teeth
building a database of all children
building a database of all children
constables cannot tell the difference between

concave curves are easy to break out from the inside
and you're born knowing how to peck at insects
how to board a train that never stops x2
fall eleven feet and hit the ground walking
how to board a train that never stops
suffocate on the way out, and kill your siblings
how to board a train that never stops
crack your shells and crawl to the ocean
how to board a train that never stops

majestic cloud preservation society
lifelong love/hate burthen
show-horse jowl vibrations
squinting with the broca
i picked a heart out of my teeth
i picked a heart out of my teeth
majestic cloud preservation society
lifelong love/hate burden

Has anyone heard of a high power lineman apprenticeship?
I know I don't have to plan, but I've got mouths to feed
And I know hes coming.
But I don't see no bread from the sky.
And you say hes coming.
But my feet are on the ground.

Move my hand
shake my blood
write a piece
about a flood
Abandon Northern Cities
Cut the steel
From my clothes
You can keep
Your eyes I knows
Visitors
come to see
some are men
and some holy
Abandon Northern Cities
Abandon Northern Cities
In the end
We'll go up.
Mary and
Joseph.
Abandon Northern Cities
Abandon Northern Cities

Speak with our voices and call the newspapers
And give then our messages

Bounce your lasers off your satellites
You can't fool me, you can't fool me
Speak to nations in their own languages
You can't fool me, you can't fool me
Send me a chariot not a spaceship
Send me a chariot not a spaceship
Paint my skies with heavy metals
You can't kill me, you can't kill me
Inject machines with your vaccines
You can't kill me, you can't kill me
Send me a vision, not a television
Send me a vision, not a television
Steal their minds at the university
You can't have them, you can't have them
Send the men to take my children
You can't have them, you can't have them
Make me disappear without special effects
Make me disappear without special effects

Leaf Plucker, Burn Fields x4
Pack your seeds in the snow
and we'll be starving by next year
point the finger, barefoot scientist
and stump for mister steel.
Leaf Plucker, Burn Fields x4
Put your neck out and it might get longer
unless you lose your head
pull the strings, barefoot scientist
and green the ground with the dead
bridge
Leaf Plucker, Burn Fields...
