lyrics

The blinding spray of reddish dust from the spidery veins of sharks, suckerfish, and octopoid tadpoles, each at some stage of tumescence.
At last, he inserted the tape, and the black and white photos slid down the surface, and a small group of spidery symbols glinted in the light.

The gears began turning against one another.
She could hear the stacks of blonde hair and grey hair plunging into the bottles of red and black ink, grinding through the machine.
Of course, he said, the community have folded up something for you, in two pieces of metal, plywood boards, wood, brick, and concrete.

He hit fast forward for just a few seconds, and the nerve tube started to project images of hands, elbows, shoulders, toes, heels, and knees up onto the four foot long wood frame.
He then clicked one of the controls, and used the tape deck as a lever.
He saw the light inside gradually intensify, as the slowly turning television monitor stopped again, and waited for someone, anyone.
He started huffing and puffing.
The heat rising from the tape made the beams and the logs waver and bend.
What's going on?
The shafts and gears slowly begin to merge, all the sheets, no matter if they're scattered all over the place.
We thought the ever-deepening pool of dirt and oil would be a good place to do things thought impossible.
