Powertrip

I read a book today
It made me think of a life i led
It seemed so far away, but then i wouldn't call it dead
I see a name or two and the ghosts just start to roam
I had 'em locked away
It seems they've cut their own parole

Now face the music, son
Some people live to remember when
But you're no storage space
You've lived a dozen lives since then
So what would modok do if his memory got too full?
He'd find a powersource and then he'd pick what plugs to pull

I looked in the mirror and somebody blew up
I turned on my tv and somebody blew up
I learned how to lie well and somebody blew up
I learned how to live true and somebody blew up

My brain was still today
Just taking a little death
Just like the doctors say:
I never get that kind of rest
The movie's on again
They got me nullifying ghosts
I'm better dead than red
I guess i'll never get off the boat

I looked in the mirror and somebody blew up
I turned on my tv and somebody blew up
I learned how to lie well and somebody blew up
I learned how to live true and somebody blew up

The moon crashed into the desert
It gave me my brand new home
These souls gone to feed in my crater
I eat 'em as fast as they come

I dig your love and affection
I dig your voice on the phone
So pour some coins in my crater
I spend 'em as fast as they come

A greased up atomic pavillion
A great way to swallow my time
But i do think i need a stronger witness
To watch me blow my mind

You ain't digging on my questions
And i know i ain't digging on your lies
Keep on selling me my future
And i'll keep on wearing my disguise

Bullshit may last forever
But my fuse gets shorter every day
I'd be glad to take your money
But gladder to burn it all away

So won't you put my dick in plastic
And put my brain in a jar
If there's something left of my spirit
It'll find you where you are

Still so goddamn hungry
I'm feeding off my own bones
So lay me out in my crater
And nuke me 'til i glow

Well my buddy jo gave me a laughing pill
Well it tasted like shit and it gave me the chills
I saw his girlfriend's face in a bucket of water
He said a buck for the snatch and a nibble a quarter

Well i'm telling you freaks, i've eyes in the back of my head
And i can hear you laughing at me when i'm lying in bed
You better be righteous when you're cutting me up
Cause you'll be doing it (wrong) and i'll be fucking you up

I got a nail in my head and i know that i'm gone
When i'm driving the tractor on the drug farm
Got a knife in my back got a hole in my arm
When i'm driving the tractor on the drug farm
Got a nail in my head and i know that i'm gone
When i'm driving the tractor on the drug farm
Got a knife in my back got a hole in my arm
I'm driving the tractor on the drug farm...get down

I got a nail in my head and i know that i'm gone
When i'm driving the tractor on the drug farm
Got a knife in my back got a hole in my arm
When i'm driving the tractor on the drug farm
Got a nail in my head and i know that i'm gone
When i'm driving the tractor on the drug farm
Got a knife in my back got a hole in my arm
I'm driving the tractor on the drug farm...all right

You're floating there you're handing me, a snake inside a jar,
It's just to cool, i do believe, you're what you say you are,
How many days was i in that psychotic submarine
I stumbled out, i took my turn, and now i've made your scene

And i am cross, a sacrifice, and born in vietnam,
You'll take me home in your machine and tell me about your plan

Come-on on in
Come-on on in
And put your hands on me
Come-on on in
Come-on on in
My love will set your free

I said woa, ho, ho, i'm in love again
Woa, ho, ho, you're so strange
I said woa, ho, ho, i'm in love again
Woa, ho, ho, you're so strange...so very strange

They'll hang me here, they'll make me pay, if i do what they don't like
So cast your sin quick and bite my lip, and screw my brain up tight

Come-on on in
Come-on on in
And put your claws in me
Come-on on in
Come-on on in
In tune of my machine

I said woa, ho, ho, i'm in love again
Woa, ho, ho, you're so strange...so very strange
Strange little baby...strange little baby...

I've been stuffed in your pocket for the last hundred days
When i don't get my bath i take it out on the slaves
So grease up your baby for the ball on the hill
Polish them rockets now, and swallow those pills

And sing... space lord mother

Huh! uh huh

There's a car in the field now in a column of flame
With two doors to choose but only one bears your name
You've been drinking my blood well i've been licking your wounds
I'll shave off the pitch now in the scope of your tune

You'll sing... space lord mother

I left my throne a million miles away
I drink from your tit
I sing your blues every day
Now give me the strength
To split the world in two yeah
I ate all the rest and now i've gotta eat you

Well i sing

Built in my nightmares and using my name
You're stroking my cortex and you know i'm insane
I'm squeezed out in hump drive and drownin' in love
Encompass them all to a position above

Well i sing... space lord mother

I left my throne a million miles away
I drink from your tit
I sing your blues every day
Now give me the strength
To split the world in two yeah
I ate all the rest and now i've gotta eat you

Well i sing... space lord mother

I lost my soul when i fell to earth
My planets called me to the void of my birth
The time has come for me to kill this game
Now open wide and say my name

Space lord mother

A little room on 7th street is getting cold
And secrets sing like mescaline
They don't get old
I saw a pattern on a blanket just the other day
It looked just like the pillow you threw away

You were like a zombie
When you told me what you did that day
And i drove out to the meadowlands
To throw our baby away
What time and snow couldn't bury
Years of forgotten guilt
That little body's calling, rising up
From under a jersey landfill

I just woke up the other night
And now i know what to do
I just woke up the other night girl
And now i know what to do

I guess i'll see you in hell

A creature's waitin' for a battle in the ancient swamp
Your pissing on the pyramids
Ain't gonna move things along
So pack your scars and your makeup
And give your money to the poor
Cos you've been riding a twenty gauged ticket
Into reality's door

The tv's gone and you've been half an hour paid
And your punkrock band still sucks anyway
I was talking to jesus through a hole in the floor
He said our time is up, we can't stay anymore
No more

A little room on 7th street is getting cold
And secrets sing like mescaline
They don't get old
I saw a pattern on a blanket just the other day
It looked just like the pillow you threw away


I just woke up the other night
And now i know what to do
I just woke up the other night girl
And now i know what to do

I guess i'll see you in hell

Wake up baby 'cause i'm coming to you from the future.
Don't be surprised when i'm sitting at the foot of your bed.
I bring you a light you could never see in the daytime,
Planting the seed of my perfume in your head.

Well i've wasted enough of my time on the edge of forever.
And i've paid all the god damn dues that i want to pay.

Never let them hear you beg.
Never let them know.
Your pillow nest of a dripping god
Is a place you go alone.

But late at night i hear you cry.
Your taste for dirt just makes me smile.
My purple tablet turns to goo.
Have i got something warm for you.

Well i've wasted enough of my time on the edge of forever.
And i've paid all the god damn dues that i wanna pay.
If i can't slip into the 13th house of your twilight, baby yeah.
I'll plant a bomb in the temple of your dreams.
I'll plant a bomb in your temple of your dreams yeah.

Wake up baby 'cause i'm coming to you from the future.
And don't be surprised when i'm floating above your bed.
I bring you a god you could never love in the daytime.
Nailing the seed of my perfume in your head.

Well i've wasted enough of my time on the edge of forever.
And i've paid all the god damn dues that i wanna pay.
If i can't slip into the 13th house of your twilight, baby yeah.
I'll plant a bomb in the temple of your dreams.
I'll plant a bomb in the temple of your dreams.
Temple of your dreams.
Temple of your dreams.
Temple of your dreams.
