Oh-Oh! How I miss all of my false prophet whisperings My lost love My lost muses! Oh-Oh! Now I'm sinking in the weight of all my youth When it's gone, where does it go? Alright?! Boys and girls sleep-walking in their underwear Tugging at our birth-skins We put flowers in our hair Jumping off that cross, reciting all our midnight psalms Jesus spits out moonbeams When we wake up it's all gone I am the slave-pull tide Captive to the phosphor moon ignite And if my horoscope is right The black hole in my heart explodes We'll dance around the light Alright! No more Mrs. No more Mr's Sunday school, or nuclear winters No black books to keep us Prisoners! All our words, our songs will lift us up!

Got a message on string-tied cans A dispatch from the sky "Oh my God, the world is ending again!" We're digging tunnels through ancient maps 'Til we fall off the edge And get lost on other planets We sit on out parents roofs Watch it all come unglued We spread new ideas! We build all new rooms! Live transmit broadcast "End-Times Blues" I grind my teeth until their sand I part the sea with both my hands You broke up (but) they can't change Us

Too blue ocean toys and sparkling guitars Hid in a psychic garage, behind the radiant star Hidden in the shadows Nurse of day There is no increase And there is no decay (doot doot dum dum) A mansion of voices The choir of lonely churches sing Angels weep when they hear We are made of all their tears Keep coming to your home when your alone Tossing rocks at your window We think fast but we move slow We bend and break Sinner song you've taken me Up and o'er the cherry tree Blossom kiss and swallowed key Secret bliss, infinity I'm not like them, I'm not like that I'm no burned Rome, I'm your advocate Sinner song you've taken me Up and o'er the cherry tree Blossom kiss and swallowed key Secret bliss, infinity

Desperation wolves In a victim daze We all laid to rest We all laid to waste In a gauze of tangled starlight Honey seeped out holes in your side These are desperate times These are desperate days We all laid to rest We all laid to waste We want to be like the sunrise Beacon flames, the glare in God's eyes And the Sun dripped all around You I go running with my vials Can you guess the weight of all things we're made of? How much does it cost to tell a lie? Can you guess the weight of all things we're made of? All the bones exhumed with every sigh? I know I'm real; It's matter that I can't identify These are desperate times These are desperate days We all laid to rest How long will we wait? Can you guess the weight of all things we're made of? How much does it cost to tell a lie? Can you guess the weight of all things we're made of? All the bones exhumed with every sigh? I know I'm real; It's matter that I can't identify In the dark of night the stars spelled out your name When I blink my eyes everything's erased The sky was open wide, the stars were flicker flames I imagine God exactly like your face
