Big Walls 04:00
It’s you! It’s them! They’re here now! They’re everywhere, everywhen! Everybody needs a strong hand now and again. Everybody wants some crazy to tell them how, where, or when. That old news, that fake news, your yellow eyes radiant out of those slivers of skin. You said with your red lips, with your puffed up pink cheeks, your spittled spit all over your chin. That old news, that fake news, your yellow eyes radiant out of those slivers of skin. It’s you! It’s them! They’re here now! They’re everywhere, everywhen! Everybody needs a strong hand now and again. Everybody wants some crazy to tell them how, where, or when.

Ivanka Rex 04:05
Touch her lips, pat his head, kiss the ring, hang the noose, long love the king. You got it upside down. You blacked out the sun, so you couldn’t see. Kill your flesh, kill the flesh, right of way, right away, kiss her lips, clip the brooch, long live the queen. You’ve got it upside down. You blacked out the sun so you couldn’t see. From your swollen head to your swollen feet, in a dream she was yours and you were he. At Colonus to Antigone, (J)acosta’s tyrant; not her or our tragedy. Petty thieves in petty coats, the world’s your mark, the world’s your mark, the world is sold with the promises to save the coin, to save your coin, to save us. You got it upside down. You blacked out the sun so you couldn’t see. From your swollen head to your swollen feet, in a dream she was yours and you were he.

Sunk 03:32
Halfway around the world, I came for business not for vengeance on a dumb brute. He strikes at the sun and fall of us and sunk and done. Halfway too far forlorn, he came for redemption, game for your vengeance on the unstruck sun. He strikes at the sun and fall of us and sunk and done. Remember with me, your wife and your child, at home we could be all warm by the fire. Turn around give up this fight it’s not too late old man. Follow on your lonesome tear abandon fateful plans. Ahab, you loved her and left her alone; and my wife and my child will mourn me at home. He strikes at the sun and fall of us and sunk and done.

Hey Acosta 04:15
Hey Acosta I dare you, say something, ask a question! Hey I see you entirely in your entirety. Hey Acosta I dare you. Let’s play a game of cat and wolf. I’ll let you be the mouse. I’m gonna eat you up. I’ll let you get a word in edgewise so you can’t get any other words otherwise. Let’s play that game of cat and wolf. I’ll let you be the mouse. I’m gonna eat you up Hey Acosta I dare you, say something, ask a question! Hey I see you, entirely in your entirety. Hey Acosta I dare you. Hey Acosta keep quiet. Let’s suspend the state of your question. No apologies are needed, just your humiliation. I’ll let you get a word in edgewise so you can’t get any other words otherwise.

Rocket Men 04:36
Thinning out, you laid to waste, prone to fury and fire, our fool’s feast. Washed away the bitter taste of wasted lives on this fool’s feast. When you’re ready to light the world on fire, fire away, you fire away. When you’re ready to bluff into the unknown, you turn away, you turn away. Bite your tongue, your yellowed face, thinning out, you’re laid to waste. Little balloons, your heavy footprints, line the fires at this fool’s feast. Talking hands for talking heads, line the pockets for this fool’s feast. When you’re ready to light this world on fire, fire away, you fire away. When you’re ready to bluff into the unknown, you turn away, you turn away. When you’ve fired your warheads and then some, when you’ve fired your talking heads all done – we’ll have our fool’s feast. Falling into the great beyond, falling into the great unknown.

Take a Knee 04:09
If I took I knee, would you make me lie down so I would take it? If it turned out everybody agreed, would I still take it? If I took a chance would it take the sheen off the rain and dry off the streets of the pain? Would I still take it? Cast down. Check it to the bank. Cast down at the stands. If I took I knee, would you make me lie down so I would take it? If it turned out everybody agreed, would I still take it? On the black and white, by the smudged newsprint, it’s the only gray left for day and night on this long twilight of news that is no longer news. Cast down. Check it to the bank. Cast down at the stands. Check it to the bank. You get up or sit down, you speak up or quiet down.

With your golden hair, falling on your golden shoulders. With not a tear, this one goes out to my brothers. With no remorse, no ready to wear. You cast your lot with, you stood unwavering, you didn’t blink when he said what he said. Oh loyalty, where have you taken us? With barely a tear, this one goes out to my sisters in need, in times of need. You want, you wanted for nothing for none of it all. With your black-brown roots, (with) barely a tear. Fallen on your slumpened shoulders, (with) barely a tear. You cast your lot with, you stood unwavering. Oh loyalty, where have you taken us?

I only wanna talk about, I only wanna think about, I only wanna sing about, I only wanna hear about me. You told us the most wondrous fantasy: your beautiful hair, tail, horns, and body. You heard your own echo, you saw your own image, and you liked what you heard and you loved what you saw. Me not me the whole world in my small eyes something no one’s seen but everybody’s heard about, only in my dreams. I only wanna talk about, I only wanna think about, I only wanna sing about, I only wanna hear about me. You told us the most horrible fantasy: your withered hair, tail, horns, and body. We heard our own echo, we saw our own image, and we liked what we heard and we loved what we saw. Me not me the whole world in your small mind something no one’s seen yet we’re supposed to know about, only in your grand dreams. I only wanna talk about, I only wanna hear about, I only wanna think about, I only wanna dream about me. I only wanna talk about, I only wanna think about, I only wanna sing about, I only wanna hear about me. I only wanna talk about, I only wanna think about, I only wanna dream about, I only wanna hear about me.
