Electric President - Pigeon Teeth lyrics
rate meI'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.)
