Less Skeleton Than Soul

Less Skeleton Than Soul

Living so slowly
It's hard to accept peace in your life
Like a pool collecting
Where once was a torrent of strife

You'll fit through the keyhole
Now you're less skeleton than soul
And what you see in that chamber
Looks so dead and old

Dying is easy
All you need is the money for beer
Your disappearance
Will let your conscience walk away clear

You'll fit through the keyhole
Now you're less skeleton than soul
And what you see in that chamber
Looks so dead and old

But I'm still drinking
I'm still drinking
I'm still drinking
I'm still drinking

Ending Age

Ending Age

The chances that I had are gone
The sheep are sheared
The hair's bleached blonde
And what have I left to do
But mould a moody shade of blue
A culture teaming with the spawn
The planning application's drawn
And what have I left to wish
That we shoal peacefully as fish
The boat has docked
The hold unloads
If I could write a pretty ode
I would join this ending age
And close the old book's final page

We Ordered Weed From Canada

We Ordered Weed From Canada

Before the cryptohackers came
And made the deal secure
When we were only teenagers
We were really poor

We were poor but only needed
One thing to get by
When the days were glistening
We wanted to get high

It's easy to get sick of local
Dealers selling hashish
Even when you get you still want
To escape their leash

It took some time to save the cash
I was still at college
So many weeks of smokeless nights
Were blurred edge to edge

Finally we had the cash
To place upon the net
It felt like we had struck a chord
In our glorious duet

We ordered weed from Canada
Some cheese and skunk and haze
And presently by mail it came
In those glistening days

You Can't Pay Me Enough To Care

You Can't Pay Me Enough To Care

I'd love to quit and leave my old desk bare
To vacate like I owe you nothing more
I know you can't pay me enough to care

Each morning I sink lower in my chair
And accept the receding sight of shore
I'd love to quit and leave my old desk bare

The neural trap of the working day snare
That starts with twitches and works to my core
So bad you can't pay me enough to care

I used to think that I had something rare
But it's been squeezed till it became a sore
I'd love to quit and leave my old desk bare

The hours are taken and there's none spare
How can a thing be both whirlwind and bore?
It blows but you can't pay me enough to care

The sun presses against the screen its glare
While we're crushed by the never ending roar
I'd love to quit and leave my old desk bare
Because you can't pay me enough to care

My Will To Power Is Dead

My Will To Power Is Dead

The dwarf of gravity's in a thong
The townsfolk left to smoke a bong
That science wasn't gay enough for me
Ultra modern kids unable
To look beyond blood and fable
That is why I am so stupid, see?

My will to power has long past
I'm trapped here in the house of ash
Where everything's as brittle as dried clay
My will to power is long dead
I share this tomb with the godhead
Where life is dust and crumbling decay

Psychology will be the future
Lanzek pills will knit the suture
Prophet's taking classes for his hate
The builders of the house of ash
Were all erased by nuclear flash
The bridge that we once trod is desolate

My will to power has long past
I'm trapped here in the house of ash
Where everything's as brittle as dried clay
My will to power is long dead
I share this tomb with the godhead
Where life is dust and crumbling decay
