Get Seduced

Tabloid magazines are made in hell
The falling stars are getting sucked down
We get seduced easy
We get
We get seduced!
Sell us magazines about the stars
And watch us stare into the void
What not to wear to be a wart
Who's cant escaped on camera
Now these creeps are climbing up the trees
The neighbors calling the police
And snapping pictures by the pool
We seduced so easy
Check out clerks all funny towards
The page "an a-list star shaves her brains"
While starving millionaires complain
TV makes your ass fat
Tell us!
How rad is it living in a microscope?
Broadcast into every single living room
Hot lights on your love life
Let me buy
Close up tabloid shots of your cellulite
Hypnotizing pages of advice
From their demented fashion do's or dies
Who put this hook inside my mouth, you
Your getting so obsessed its all we talk about
Were passive hounds on the couch
How rad is it living in a microscope?
Broadcast into every single living room
Hot lights on your love life
Its not love thats sex on the first night
How rad is it living in a microscope?
Broadcast into every single living room
Hot lights on your love life
Let me buy
Close up tabloid shots of your cellulite

The Geeks Were Right
02:56
|

|
Eyeballs float in wet green grass
I got a chain saw motor
That's filled with rain
But when it sings like bach
The eyes all bulge
Then when the pink sun drops
The eyelids fold
While I'm in deep REM sleep
Or twilight zones
I take a freight elevator
And press fast forward
I get to grind these teeth
And peek through time
If I could bring things back
They'd feedback wild
When I saw the future
The geeks were right
Egghead boys
With thin white legs
They got modified features
And software brains
But that's what the girls like
The geeks were right
When I saw the future
The geeks were right
Predator skills
Chemical wars
Plastic islands at sea
Watch what the humans ruin
With machines
Eyeballs float in wet green grass
I'm in a chainsaw choir
In dreams that bend
To let me cut through time
And stretch out Bach
I make the dry eyes roll
And wet eyes cross
While I'm in deep REM sleep
Or twilight zones
I take a freight elevator
And press fast forward
So I can grind these teeth
And peek through time
If I could bring things back
They'd feedback wild
And when I saw the future
The geeks were right

Machine In The Ghost
03:19
|
|||
|
There's no Ghost in this machine,
I make my own mistakes,
We seem like skeletons with bonehead police,
Histories can crucify,
Human super-naturalize,
We hope, we're not alone.
Exploded stars and space debris,
Taught itself to make some things,
A cut, then done up,
What was there before the bang,
How did nothing come to end,
At once, let's ask the atheists.
Let's ask the atheists, the astronauts,
The mystics of the amazon,
The priests, the cults, the withes, the pope,
The crystal ball, the fear of god,
The tarot cards, the dancing rug,
The enochians, alchemists, black magicians, physicists.
Say, no
Say, we don't know.
Ghosts arise from egos
Sick with poltergeists and demons.
Tune your DVD to snow
Watch the first thing ever known
It's always on
But nothing's over, what was there
How did nothing come to end, at once.
Let's ask the atheists, let's ask the astronauts
Let's ask the priests, the cults, the witches, the pope
Dice, the monks, shaman, the nuns
Buddha, the holy ghost, the Satanists
The philosults, mediators, pyramids, mathematicians
As it ends, the enochians, alchemists, black magicians, physicists
Say, no.
Say, we don?t know.
Ghosts arise from egos
Sick with poltergeists and demons.

Fulcrum & Lever
03:21
|
|||
|
I heard a bone snap
When I was only about nine
The laws of gravitation
Were in abeyance a while
But not long
Before they taught me a lesson
In Tuffskin jeans like a Japanese Hessian
I was 70 pounds, learning to fly
I knew I couldn't do it if I didn't try
We called it the "field" where we used to hang out
A field of alfalfa behind the back of our house
With a slice of an old oak tree
And a 12 ft. plank
Put the board on top
We got flying machine
Oh my god we could teeter on this
Or make lever that could shoot me into orbital space
I'd seen the circus
And i saw how they do it
With bent knees
You got to jump like you would from a trampoline
Strange phenomenon
Strange phenomenon
We got out the ladder
And the heaviest kid
He would climb up top
And count down like
A rocket ship
To fire me up
He'd get to t-minus zero
Before he'd jump
And i was shot high in a vertical catapult
Straight up and down
I remember the view from over top of the house
Gravity seems weak until you look down
I got in position
I had impeccable form
If the judges were present
They'd be holding up score cards
With 9's and 10's
Unless I lose a couple points
For the landing I did
I heard a loud snap but it didn't hurt
I looked at the neighbourhood
It looked like earth
But everybody's acting weird are they out of meds?
Eating a peanut butter sandwich in a hospital bed
I started noticing
Strange phenomenon
Strange phenomenon
Is this planet the same one that I been on?
Everybody's bizarre and irrational
Even nurses on the clock seem a bit off
Strange phenomenon
Everybody's deranged and I wonder what
Happened the day that I fell from the sky
If nobody changed
Then it must've been my
Mind

Psycho
02:51
|
|||
|
I can't listen while I'm breathing fire,
I don't think straight when I get pissed off,
It'd be easier to just to calm down,
Cause I'm an asshole when I get called out.
Forget the words I said,
I was not myself,
I never really thought you were psycho,
I was just mad at being attacked,
I never really thought you were psycho.
There's talk, but then there's talk,
Where we get so convinced that the thoughts we've got,
Like lines, in black and white
The tail of the snake is in it's teeth tonight.
I thought for sure this time I was innocent,
And that the girl I loved had gone psycho,
I was just mad and feeling attacked,
I never really thought you were psycho.
I know I must have stressed you out,
I don't start fights, I make explosions,
It's be easier to just calm down,
But I'm an asshole when I get called out.
Forget the words I said,
I was not myself,
I never really thought you were psycho,
I was just mad at being attacked,
I never really thought you were psycho.

Mirror Error
03:43
|
|||
|
Baby thinks he looks just like the face he makes in mirrors
Only once or twice a month
Does the mirror do him justice
Every other time he looks a mess
He expects a lot from it
But then barely notices
Baby knows we all create the world from in our skulls
Everything you think of is just as real as you make it
Now he only focuses on dreams
Can you make a thing exist just by focusing on it?
Yeah?
I been around a mirror enough to know it's hard to change
We're like magicians when we dream
But we wake up and nothing's different
Cover up with jewellery's or pierce all the parts you've got
If the packaging design can fix the contents
I might distort myself a bit
I doubt that I'm the only one
To hope their features smear
Warp the face that's stuck to my skull
It's just a mask
Peel the skin away and we'll trade
I'm not so attached to this face

I Treat You Wrong
03:20
|
|||
|
I don't mean to sound like I wanna fight
But the arguments I cause
Make it sound like I might
I've gotta prove my point
I've gotta show ya how you're wrong
Does the topic even matter?
Why's my throat getting sore?
Tonight I'm gonna touch your hand
And take back every word I've said
But not just yet, my hand is steaming,
I'm busy making you believe me.
I know.
I treat you wrong.
You call me out.
I turn the argument around
I'm stompin' on shells
Your splashing my face
Cause my toes are too pointed
To tiptoe on eggs.
I know I'm right and argue on
You get depressed and fall apart
I make my point
But you don't get it
Your busy telling me forget it
I don't mean to sound like I wanna fight
But if you'd see it my way
We could both see it, right.
Lemme say it one more time
You'll agree with me this time
We could both understand
I'll just say it once more
No, no, no, no, no, no
I treat you wrong.
You call me out
I turn the argument around
Blows up in my face
And time turns slow
I realize now
You deserve way more.

Every time I move
I'm in another dimension
Every thing I do changes what I want
I see a choice I make
Explode in thousands of pieces
Every time I choose
I become unsure
I can take up science
And study cells of the body
Learn to postpone death
Under the microscope
I made my own lab coat
Under the house in the forest
You and me eating mushrooms together
We'll stretch out so long
And hope we don't sever
Forever growing centipedes
Forever growing centipedes, you and I
Forever growing centipedes
Through time.
I could step outside
And walk in any direction
Everything I choose
Erases ghosts that aren't natural
But it makes some new ghost
That I can feel
I can just choose one as far as I can tell
If I feel off course
I'll learn to kick of the habit
If I spin off track, I know that I can change
We can both grow up, to be 150
But for now we have children together.
Every time I move
I'm in another dimension
Every thing I do changes what I want
I see a choice I make
Explode in thousands of pieces
Every time I choose
I become a choice
Forever growing centipedes
Forever growing centipedes, you and I
Forever growing centipedes
Through time.
Forever growing centipedes
Let's build a buck-minster dome on an island
We see ourselves in a timeless web
If every second we make new futures
We'll see how long we can hide from
Forever growing centipedes
Forever growing centipedes
Forever growing centipedes, you and I
Forever growing centipedes
Through time.

Fish In A Womb
03:16
|
|||
|
There's a slice in my neck
It's been there since before i was born
I was breathing like a fish in a womb
In a tank full of fluid
I did nine months
Till the doc cut me loose
My mother was filled with popcorn
Soaked in strawberry hill boones
Every day is like the first
But with a harder head
Every day is like the first
But with a harder head
That slice in my neck
It's oozing jelly clear as glass
Between my finger and my thumb
It'll stretch for inches between the bones
Every day is like the first
But with a harder head
Every day is like the first
But with a harder head

Teacher
Bring me to heaven
Or leave me alone
Why make me work so hard
When you know I work slow
Don't make us watch you scrape
More powder on the walls
Show us a laser
Take us to space
Or let us go
We got violent games on pause at home
You've seen this angst take shape
Don't hide those guilty eyes
You gave us guns for toys
We trained with cross hair scopes
Then in the name of peace we make war
Sergeant
I don't remember how you said to deal with guilt
I'm haunted by families grieving
Even soldiers kids
Is it god against god
And the pawns are people?
If they're both the same god
Then the battle's over
Details
Preacher
Am I gonna make it?
Am I going up?
Am I forgiven for the humans I dropped
It's not like a game once the guilt piles up
If I knew what I know now
It's easy to say I wouldn't go
I had violent games on pause at home
You know how hate takes shape
Don't hide those guilty eyes
You gave us guns for toys
Imposed beliefs then pride
We were taught that god prefers the USA
Just like the billboard sign -"this is god's country"
If it's true that god roots for the USA
Is every bomb we drop in god's name?

Just saw them performing much of this album on their west coast tour. San Diego and Pioneertown dates. Didn’t know any of them lol. I’m all about their old shit but I like this. Playing it more and more. Appreciate the evolution of one of my favorite bands in the world since middle school! 🖤

Awesome variety covering all genres of horror. Love the narratives, and the guests are amazing!

This one also took me a while to get into. It strikes me as less HC than Untitled and less poppy than Ultrapop (stupid I know). Let's call this the No Wave record. Its musical (and amusical) density is matching the persistent sound in my head right now.

This L.A. duo make sinuous electronic jams equally influenced by psychedelic dance music and spaced-out rock.
