Daily Conspiracy: Get me out of here, please


Pinback - Grey Machine (Shorter Fanvid) (this post is about the lyrics)

lie, lie, lie... blind them...

on the left side
a parking attendant sleeps
selling space and time
(on the right side
a parking attendant sleeps
selling space and time)

they have grasped the concept of property
understand that lengths of time
can be twisted into someone's
monetary advantage

but, i can see myself in that building that stands
across from me reflecting in the sky
you can see yourself swim along with giant whales
down the street reflecting in the sky

on sunny days
the people on the beach
like ants in my food
they must have closed the mall

here comes whitey to exploit
the simple pleasures nature gave me
then try to tax them all

i'm letting go
it's scaring me

lay in the yard
curled in a ball
hails in your mouth
keys still in the car door
face in the dirt
smells more than clean
synapsis tapped
you're well out

on the side of the house
its burned in the ground
that secret code
that signal go
there's a stain on the grass
that's calling us home
you lie inside for the
transistor send

my heart skips a beat

lie, lie, lie, blinded...

out of reach
out of touch
out of ink
out of kindness never hazing new guys

out of teeth
out of thought
out of time
out of life
like cattle grazing your mind

on the way to the car
on the head of the stone
on the edge of the lake
on the end of the joke
on the crack of the floor
on the slab of the day
on the dent of the face
on the mind of the cop
on the scar of the rat
on the last of the calls
on the rest of the doc
on the smile of the kid

pick me up
take me home
get me out of here
please



on the underside i'm letting go
they know we're on to them
we know to avoid - their snare
they're pulling us back
we run for cover
escape is far
i'm letting go
its scaring me
break
i'm gonna break..
