Lyrics

This is the sound of what you don't know killing you
 This is the sound of what you don't need still true
 This is the sound of what you don't want still in you
 Never again
 When a live wire lights little metal rail right
 When a marvel of engineering steered me clear in to the plight
 Right before the bodegas open, after the peak of night
 Before the paper's delivered, I sat on the corner and sparked a light
 The same corner I perched when I zone dropped on the block first
 At almost 5 O'clock watching for sun spots or store clerks
 Alone spot, almost kinda like the zone was forgot
 As if the grid had been reset and couldn't catch to the clock
 Or the stoop was stuck in the past a half minute
 And I sat in it
 With a loosie Newpy drift out of my lips, taste, half minted
 Come on
 ♪
 And I felt like a hundred bucks in the pocket of a gambling lush
 At a Wondershowzen flow with the druids of destructo luck
 Fugitoid on the run again, the sky gleamed, the maroonist coloring
 Layered against the bluest tone from where the thunder lived
 Here I was directly under it like some dejected little gray
 And they told to stay and wait for the mothership
 A cotton ball in a blizzard of mischief or brain prison
 With a thought that rode on the bus and came for conjugal visits
 And fucked it's way into my gray matter, the tattered territory
 Stayed chattering and nagging till it demanded it yell it for me
 And I tried to hold the thing back', but the meditation was otherly
 Fixated on what a friend said and relating it to my struggling
 Metropoloid void so damn smothering
 But we were children of poisenville
 And saw the seduction less repugnant
 And reserved the right as the triggerman
 With the back up plan of self destruction
 And I touched the type of chemicals
 That could pull me towards that function
 It's the stuff I find hard for discussion
 How the fuck do you explain
 Your our own self destruction
 And still remain trusted?
 ♪
 To answer the question, yes, the city wants you gone
 And thats the only thing connecting us
 But the connection is so strong
 So how dare you assume that I'll sleep when you're dead
 This is well outside the boundaries of acceptable behavior
 I will not give you the go ahead
 And you will not be remembered fondly
 I'm throwing down the gauntlet
 Fuck you, this isn't your decision
 And for all the holy fuck I give
 Your little spectacle is ended
 But don't think for just one second
 You've honored your obligations to me
 I'm serious, look in my eyes
 I don't find this funny or whatever you imagine poetry
 And justice feels like when you combine them
 I am not going to allow this on my watch buddy
 Nobodies impressed with your imagined sacrifice
 Device or insurmountable regret
 You are not uniquely pained
 And if you go we won't be sorry
 And who the hell are you to put me through
 The banality of watching this
 Cause many better men have gone
 For clearly better reasons
 And I starkly must remind you
 That you have not even been trying
 And that's the only thing
 Remarkable about you
 Stop me if I'm lying
 We are always outnumbered but we were never out militiad
 There's no dignity for criminals, no ministry for the wicked
 In this town if you make a sound
 You're the leper with the most fingers
 The league of extraordinary nobodies
 The other teams bringing in ringers
 No faith in the majority, no hope for the little ones
 Sally pulled a pistol out, Billy got a blunderbuss
 So what the fuck are you feeling
 That makes your struggle so wondrous?
 Enough to arrogantly pull
 What's left of the rug out from under us?
 I think not, you're in the same barrel
 All us other crabs are caught
 And if I have to live, you have to live
 Whether you like this shit or not
 Come on
 Dedicated to the drowning, and the noble futility of
 The desperate friends forced to watch
 And to my good friends who refused
 To allow it to happen to me
 You know who you are
 You know what I'm talking about
 Believe me, man, I promise
 Never, never, never, gonna get that way again
 Never, never, never, gonna get that way again
 Never, never, never, gonna get that way again
 Never, never, never, gonna get that way again
 Never, never, never, gonna get that way again
 Never, never, never, gonna get that way again
 Never, never, never, gonna get that way again
 Never, never, never, gonna get that way again
 Never, never
