Electric President

Electric President - Pigeon Teeth lyrics

rate me

I've got a little animal inside me.<br />

(I wake up in the minute to minute.)<br />

I'm dancing on a world that's made of plastic.<br />

(Strike a match on my spine and I don't get it.)<br />

<br />

The buckets full of bones and the skin is made of plastic<br />

But I painted it silver so they can look like all the others.<br />

The birds are smoking cigarettes, their aim is in reverse.<br />

My perpetual head is screwed on wrong and never does it's job.<br />

<br />

And I'm tired, <br />

I'm tired enough to smile and shake hands with the enemy, <br />

So sit back and watch the sun choke on clouds.<br />

While we chew the fat and steal some souls and find a place to sleep.<br />

Gotta make the best or things just will be dead in a week.<br />

<br />

A month can be a lifetime, a lifetime a minute.<br />

But what's it in infinites a false advertisement.<br />

Dripping from the waste down, everything's a waste now.<br />

What what what what what was I doing when I sold my prized possessions.<br />

<br />

I remember days spent<br />

Dancing on the pavement, <br />

Or maybe in the woods, <br />

Felt good being far away, <br />

From all that I should be doing.<br />

Whose to say what that is?<br />

Instead I'm crossed inside my own imagination.<br />

World's of undiscovered nations, <br />

Creation of sunshine.<br />

Smiles from all the children, <br />

Spinning thoughtless ribbons of purple.<br />

I think you think I think there's something wrong with my life, <br />

But you haven't seen the full picture, yeah don't forget.<br />

<br />

Sevigilante history, <br />

I spent my life in mystery<br />

Writing books and songs<br />

And no one knows about the way it is.<br />

Of much important sounds, <br />

The dragon loom from the cloud<br />

Dancing like an angel with an angel twisting the sound.<br />

<br />

Standing at the bus stop next to an old wiser who told me.<br />

(He was like a sewer, full of shit.)<br />

And the guy who never makes a mistake, <br />

Takes orders from one who does, <br />

And that's the way the cookie crumbles son.<br />

<br />

Take a stand, <br />

Don't stand still<br />

Don't get killed<br />

Take a spill<br />

The world should be conscious of free-willing expression.<br />

Chiseled and smiled to the sun.<br />

Pull the plug, <br />

They never mention that you can't be saved until you're done.<br />

<br />

A liars company is as comforting as an answering machine.<br />

Leave a message at the tone.<br />

Leave a message at the tone.<br />

<br />

Culture spasm, we're going to fast and now we're spinning out of control.<br />

You sold your soul to get a warrant.<br />

Guaranteed efficiency, care free security system, <br />

But I wont mention that it's called denial.<br />

<br />

Now we're all a little crooked lets get one thing straight.<br />

The less you fall apart the more that you break.<br />

<br />

The less that you fall apart the more that you break.<br />

<br />

Said dead dead on a red rhyme that poke until it's inside of your head<br />

Go home and go to bed instead<br />

When in doubt don't let that sack of lies hit you in the eyes<br />

Never cry in front of parents, they expect it.<br />

Lets not mix words or cut verbs or take turns, that lead the way they started.<br />

Seas have not been parted.<br />

The difference between England and the shit that we're in, is two seconds.<br />

So find your watch and tell me when the movies over.<br />

<br />

A hundred televisions playing the same thing, throwing up all over the world.<br />

Airplanes land on Airways, <br />

Nothing makes sense.<br />

Now your tapping on the window, meeting all the smiling people, <br />

They all ride escalators.<br />

Not aware that they are in the scope of the killer.<br />

Nobodies waving, nobodies waiting.<br />

We all look healthy in the future, count the wires, <br />

Plug the shrugged up sound of rationality.<br />

Nobody sees under your clothes, you must feel very secure.<br />

But you're still naked.<br />

<br />

Sometimes an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of the cure.<br />

And the popular response is not to have one.<br />

<br />

I think the butterflies in my stomach are playing drums.<br />

<br />

Illusions on fire, and our iron mine is rusty.<br />

But a bird in the hand is safer than one overhead.<br />

<br />

So play it cautious, and tiptoe through the dead, <br />

Cause you never touch the depth of a river with both feet.<br />

<br />

There's never any shortcuts to anywhere worth going, <br />

But I think we're going nowhere, so lets go take a shortcut.<br />

<br />

(The less that you fall apart the more that you break.)
