Divide by zero, count to eight then count to ten then count to two
Take a sip, lean back and count them up again
The ones and zeros I like to wager
He counts them up with missing fingers
Level one, around the sun, the numbers increase by eight again
Level two, me and you, the numbers increase by two again
Divide by zero, count to eight then count to ten then count to two
He won't make that mistake with them again
The eights and nines he likes to wager
He counts them up on missing fingers
Level three, all about me, the numbers decrease by ten again
Level four, reach for the door, the numbers decrease by eight again

Words From The Past

Things from the past
Some things never last
Things out of time
Won't cost you a dime
Words they don't mean
Are just what they can be
Words out of time
Won't leave you behind
La la
It won't sink this time
They won't sink this time

The Condition of Music
03:24
|
|||
It’s called the condition of music
It can also be called the music of the condition
Some of the form will be metaphysical doctrines, ethical systems, literary failure, religion
Then, the way down
Why you
Spend, the way up
Then you
Then, the way down
Why you
Spend, the way up
Then you
Hippies leave the deejays alone
There’ nowhere at the campground to plug in your turntables
Hippies leave the sound guy alone
There’s nowhere in the number to add in your drum circle
Then, the way down
Why you
Spend, the way up
Then you
Then, the way down
Why you
Spend, the way up
Then you
Hippies leave the F1 guys alone
There’s no one at the racetrack for your friends to take home
Hippies leave the rednecks alone
There’s no where in the trailer to get high all alone
It’s called the condition of music
It can also be called the music of the condition
Some of the form will be metaphysical doctrines, ethical systems, literary failure, religion
They don’t want you to know about it
It can save it from breaking down
They don’t want you to know about it
It can save it from breaking down
They don’t want you to know about it
It can save it from breaking down
They don’t want you to know about it
It can save it from breaking down

Ditko is God

My boss is underground
The people feel no shame
The force is all around
The mood is calm and tame
My boss is underground
The people feel no shame
The force is all around
The mood is calm and tame
They don’t want to keep the fort down
Wait and see
They have plans to wreck the playground
Wait and see
They don’t want to keep the fort down
Wait and see
They have plans to wreck the playground
Wait and see
The room divided
Out into space
With people crying
It’s such a waste
It’s like an ocean
It’s made of glass
When things are rolling
Aren’t meant to last
My boss is underground
The people feel no shame
The force is all around
The mood is calm and tame
My boss is underground
The people feel no shame
The force is all around
The mood is calm and tame
They don’t want to keep the fort down
Wait and see
They have plans to wreck the playground
Wait and see
They don’t want to keep the fort down
Wait and see
They have plans to wreck the playground
Wait and see

Thoughtless
03:48
|
|||
It's quite easy to be thoughtless
The act of thought takes the act of time and effort combined
This can be troubling to certain members of the population
Lay down, blank stare
Only the sound of breathing
Empty logic, all the bars I'm seeing
Pointless, thoughtless
Never gonna see it my way
Hands up, give up
Still behind in the new day
Lay down, blank stare
Only the sound of breathing
Empty logic, all the bars I'm seeing
Pointless, thoughtless
Never gonna see it my way
Hands up, give up
Still behind in the new day
It's quite easy to be thoughtless
The act of thought takes the act of time and effort combined
This can be troubling to certain members of the population
They're never gonna change their thoughts
It's only gonna be a matter of hate
It's only gonna be a matter of time
It's a matter if the people change
They're never gonna change their thoughts
It's only gonna be a matter of hate
It's only gonna be a matter of time
It's a matter if the people change
In conclusion, trying to change their minds will just be wasted effort on your part
Go live your life to the best of your ability
Lay down, blank stare
Only the sound of breathing
Empty logic, all the bars I'm seeing
Pointless, thoughtless
Never gonna see it my way
Hands up, give up
Still behind in the new day
Lay down, blank stare
Only the sound of breathing
Empty logic, all the bars I'm seeing
Pointless, thoughtless
Never gonna see it my way
Hands up, give up
Still behind in the new day
They're never gonna change their thoughts
It's only gonna be a matter of hate
It's only gonna be a matter of time
It's a matter if the people change
They're never gonna change their thoughts
It's only gonna be a matter of hate
It's only gonna be a matter of time
It's a matter if the people change

Why can't you see them
Why can't you feel them
Why can't you see them
Why can't you feel them
It's what you see
It's what you'll find

Keys Pressed

They can't go on, they can't go on, they can't go on
Whenever I decide to leave my home
I tap the same two keys on the keyboard
They can't go on, they can't go on, they can't go on
When I return home I tap the same keys on the opposite end
They can't go on, they can't go on, they can't go on
When I return home I tap the same keys on the opposite end
Keys pressed
They want to tap that
They want
They want to tap that
Keys pressed
They want to tap that
They want
They want to tap that with me
They can't go on, they can't go on, they can't go on, they can't go on
Have yet to see with you and me
Have yet to see with you and me
They can't go on, they can't go on, they can't go on, they can't go on
Have yet to see with you and me
Have yet to see with you and me
They can't go on, they can't go on, they can't go on, they can't go on
Have yet to see with you and me
Have yet to see with you and me
They can't go on, they can't go on, they can't go on, they can't go on
Have yet to see with you and me

About the Light
03:50
|
|||
See the people running, running, running
And, wearing down, down, down
The situation is stunning, stunning, stunning
To be around, round, round
All the music is flowing, flowing flowing
To feel the sound, sound, sound
They don’t care about the light
They don’t care about what’s right
They don’t care about the light
They don’t care about what’s right
When the crowd is shining, shining, shining
The thoughts are bound, bound bound
When ideas are rolling, rolling, rolling
They darken clouds, clouds, clouds
Important learners are scrolling, scrolling, scrolling
To keep them wound, wound, wound
They don’t care about the light
They don’t care about what’s right
They don’t care about the light
They don’t care about what’s right
