Ray Gun 03:00
i watch you crawling on all fours you are a ray gun you wrap your legs around my face filling my head up you’re swimming i feel you swimming down my throat cleaning my evil you change me i feel you transmutate my blood making me stranger make me a stranger i feel you gushing out my pores my voice is your voice this song is your song i am you i watch you spread across my life you are a ray gun

say what you want and leave the rest to us spray off your tongue in a language burst if we go outside i will develop a thrill chaotic unstapling of the brink if we go topside satellites are gonna take pictures of us once out the outside? squeeze me until my sensors vary look at you sleeping like a child a breeze thru your face you look unweighted like a tangerine if we go outside the air will involve itself with my face once out the outside i’m in love with an alien we’re always watching you

Mind Moves 03:48
there's a light bulb hovering above your brain beaming hey - let's get out of town midnite drive with the windows down so sick of thinking just get in the van out in the desert we'll buy some land and that'll be alright that'll be just fine ohhhhh what a miracle to not by hysterical with your mind moves your mind moves there's a light rain drip drip drip dripping off your frame but still you keep your shape thrill me everyway in time minds find shrines to nest in we are dangling in space systems held in place by nothing we can know so what the hell's so funny good thing i got my mind moves dream of america you've honed your exterior where's your heartbeat hello beautiful nothing i'm happy to call you my little window Hello beautiful nothing I only see the holes you leave in me

Talker 03:27
language fits incorrectly in my jaws a rainbow encaged atop a blubber skeleton elongate your tendril to touch me pardon, ces pas? ewww your soul’s correct and I’m a hot dog in the morning type of guy we just need a world to wrap our head around it’s the opposite of being dead pardon my French but your soul’s correct and I’m a hot dog in the morning type of guy language fits incorrectly in my jaws but by breathing cubeless shapes down through your navel I got everything I need math moves around us in a circle
6.
how glad the strangers are when the sky line falls in the neon lights everybody wants to dance bastard son of the dance he’s got a liquid heart in the neon lights his little limbs they glow i’ve been floating off the line of what’s real do i feel how X feels living in the background what do you say to those men who want an interview they speak to your body while you’re floating outside your skull you can always sleep when you’re dead but what about the dreaming on a saturday night everything gets reset i sing therefore i am and when i sing my voice goes into your blood into your mind if you see something say something

Brainthaw 04:01
why do i seem to levitate at the rate of a vegetable slow movements floss my mind every joke i make up is something i saw on tv little me coming back you give it all away mysteriously clean zoom in from your satellite an accident will make the moon drink heavily my dog don’t bite he just sees the dirtiness on your frontal lobe picking up the signals other senses other worlds inject a hot tub into me muscle memory coming back things were open yesterday gushing thru the screen zoom in from your satellite and find little me synching to the clouds a man flexes his muscles and explodes his t-shirt off his back a lady goes on a diet of carrots and tattoos her makeup on you give it all away mysteriously clean zoom in from your satellite an accident will sting things were open yesterday gushing thru the screen zoom in from your satellite its all just muscle memory coming back
8.
it's noon in your head when you crawl right out of bed anterior thaw of neon palm tree in my brain you give me wrinkle eye it's a good disguise everyone loves a balloon in the sky knows not where it goes doesn't even know why my teeth are so small when i smoke its pall malls cesarean sky it's only fair to die if i get punchy i don't care it's only fair to die whoa yes wait a minute wait a minute hello beautiful nothing how many arms do you have? i've got two too but i am holding many more things than that im grasping about twenty millions clicks of emotion sitting her on this couch melting as an ice cube its not hard work its totally chill
9.
don’t you know your little life leaves an echo don’t i always know your little life albino moon it floods the house really drags my inside out on the couch in the dream of your mouth don’t you know those carpets came from morocco it’s three oh clock it’s the magic hour are you in the bed are you in the shower is it fine do you mind how you are don’t you know I’m not real i’m just like you
10.
Ooze Out 03:44
can’t recall all of your souls but still you ooze out can’t rip yourself from the sentence that fits in your head can you remember all of your love? can’t remember all of your life but its on film now from birth to death pinwheels circulate in real time can’t remember all of your life wave to the camera can’t rip yourself from the tongue of the snazzy delay can you remember all of your love if its constantly bending away from its meaning i’m letting my hair grow i’m wearing my sun shades i float into heaven on helicopter blades keep your soft parts alive hold your head up so high
