I found a body on the tracks and nothing feels different in my life today just like yesterday We’re building our careers looks like my future’s here my foot’s a paperwieight my skin is a lampshade it’s a lampshade How inconvenient for you I heard the bad news there’s a short delay going into the tube What a great time (what a great time) we’ve had here On a fault line (on a fault line) break off this year If you’re inclined (if you’re inclined) pull yourself near What a great time (what a great time) we’ve had here I found an inkling on the crux of your faded white t-shirt it says ‘you are here’ I want to be here with you too What a great time we’ve had making demands I want to drive you home and draw up a plan What a great time (what a great time) we’ve had here On a fault line (on a fault line) break off this year If you’re inclined (if you’re inclined) pull yourself near What a great time (what a great time) we’ve had here Drop a black postcard in my direction make me the mother of your insurrection all I want is a cold dark room I accuse Ted Hughes, I accuse Ted Hughes Sylvia I’m coming home for the holidays Sylvia I’m coming home to you Don’t blow out the pilot light, Don’t blow out the pilot light I accuse Ted Hughes, I accuse Ted Hughes

I don’t know what I like about your anarcho-bloc I don’t know what to say I can’t function anyway I haven’t read Capital It’s too long (too long, too long, too long) You think you get it But you’re wrong (you’re wrong, you’re wrong you’re wrong) What’s your interest in the midwest I can see from afar there’s no ocean to tell you how small you are there’s no ocean ambulance chaser and it makes you such a bore it makes you such a bore it makes you such a bore don’t hate yourself don’t hate yourself I’m doing it for you I was feelin’ real bad so I spent the day on the floor cutting up newspapers I stole from the store It said nothing to me about my life just Market Street schizo husbands and their wives What’s your interest in the midwest I can see from afar there’s no ocean to tell you how small you are I’m not for you or against you or the things you say I can’t see you I don’t know you and I think that’s ok Don’t hate yourself Don’t hate yourself Don’t hate yourself i’m doing it for you I feel like such a bore I feel like such a bore I feel like such a bore I feel like such a bore

Going Places 03:55
Fall back in a straight line Do it all on your own time Industry’s twisting I really don’t mind Society’s classless fleeting glances ignored by us without any fuss Shirttails in the wind tonic and gin the answer is this one the state that I’m in Make your mind up get your head down Make your mind up electric I’m done with flying for the rest of my life people are dying TV still-lifes Black boxes are found my name is erased it can only be found in your outer space In twelve hundred years I hope that we’re still here nuclear logic circular fears Make your mind up get your head down Make your mind up electric The wreckage is safe we’ll land ship to shore I’m going home now would you like a little more I’ll wear my riot vest mop up malaise from Dallas to Oregon to the golden age fall shelf to shelf I wish I weren’t reeling why can’t we stop feeling when can we start cleaning and sweep up the streets where do we go after dawn the alarm after meeting after fleeting We’re going underground

red means forward in Berlin home and homeland are at odds again stumble through the stacks after work I don't know you, you look like a jerk The police are gunning them down down in the streets Do you know what Rilke meant when he said what he said: "I'm sad without reason/malaise is in season again" I saw the film Wings of Desire warehouse, industrial, make eyes, inquire another night another freeway jump the fence by the bay another night another freeway cut the fence by the bay [an old man walks Potsdammer Platz in black and white] you touch them, they stultify destroyer of things [he stumbles and falls]

You and your kind don't forget to remind yourself you're doing fine it would be fine, too constructing a quantum with you Show me your insides show me your insides I know they're out there your insides You make me feel wistful in a way that I like american novels, toxic events what a fright White noise, sonic gloves the money we spent in the black skies above at your apartment in Stockton your radio's talkin eternity's knockin it won't follow you wheel your bike down the platform You're a commodity in volume one but the other commodities they have all the fun they have all the fun (x∞)
