about

I've had bits and pieces of these lyrics in my notebook for a year or so now, but never a song to go with them. Well, I finally sat down and decided to hammer some ideas out. I'm really on a strong electronic/rock/industrial kick lately, and that shows in this track: big guitars, big drums, synthesizers, gruff vocals, and even a vocoder. I did that sort of thing on Supersonic, minus the guitars, but this is another level entirely.

lyrics

There's blood in the stones

Everyone's gotta squeeze

Thirty years in the salt mines

And scabs on your knees



Don't you know it's a game?

Everything tastes the same

And the moths in your wallet

Are always to blame



So you packed up your suitcase

And wasted away

Drank your six dollar coffee

And called it a day



All these boxes and speakers

Are buzzing like flies

And you just want to sleep

But you can't close your eyes





I

Don't want to be famous

Just want you to play this

Oh lemme whisper in your ear



I

Just want you to play me

But this ain't a game, see

I'm what I want you to hear





I've got magic to sell

(Magic sends you to hell)

Don't you want to escape

(There's a pill you can take)



I've got magic to sell

(Magic sends you to hell)

Don't you want to escape

(There's a pill you can take)



Don't you know it's a game?

Everything tastes the same

And the moths in your wallet

Are always to blame



All these boxes and speakers

Are buzzing like flies

And you just want to sleep

But you can't close your eyes
