"Are they windows?" (asks Sebastian) "Barley sidewalks," (says Elizabeth) Thru the streetlight constellations. Is it Friendship or merely pizza? Circumstances were undeserved. Hydroplaning along Suicide Curve. The night is standing still. I'm slipping by my Window SeaL. becoming a voodoo doll up on Surrealberry, up on Surrealberry HiLL Egyptian Book of the Dead: "PRISTINE! MAKE ME STRONG AGAINST THE SLAYER OF MY FATHER! I HAVE OBTAINED POWER OVER THE 2 EARTHS. BIND UP MY VERTEBRAE NUUT!!" i guess it was just pizza anyway. you took a slice and walked away. Introverted asshole in an isolated chamber, the only member, feeling the window pane. And if you're hurting, we all are hurting. The air is broken. 100 degrees... we have to Open!! Headlights crashlanding along Suicide Curve. The night is standing still. I'm slipping by my Window SeaL. becoming a voodoo doll up on Surrealberry, up on Surrealberry HiLL

Pillow-Head 02:28
Pillow-Head Don't need a bed I saw it on As Seen On TV Custom-made for each day of the week Fashion fad for the party people passed-out 'neath the table with your head on a chair. We have cushion instead of hair. Pillow-Head, people, let us sleep anywhere. Pillow-Head Don't need a bed swervin' off the side of the road Pillow Head will soften the blow If you like to drink that whiskey till dawn then, crash-out on your neighbor's lawn. From her frontporch Neighbor Jackson say, "Pillow-Head Girl gonna sleep all day." I passed-out in an evergreen on a 13th story balcony with my arms wrapped around a stuffed angel. I woke refreshed Eyed dawn. Set out to cause more chaos. All Thanks to my Pillow Head! I passed-out on top of a moving train. A train robbery was going on underneath me. I could hear shouting. I stood up in the cold wind, my ears kept warm by my Pillow Head. I slipped, fell, landed head-first along the tracks, but my Pillow Head acted as a helmet. Knocked unconscious, I slept well, woke well rested. Ready for another day of concussions. All thanks to my Pillow Head! Pillow Head Don't need a bed I saw it on As Seen On TV Custom-Made for each day of the week...

(Boom Boom Bah Boom Ba-Boom Bah Bah) Lost out in space again with my eyes on the heavens seeing them starships come flooding in across the sky-towers of Kansas City plant their Mothership in my backyard. Beings emerge out of the blue light their tall white bodies made of light. they speak in words that must be psychic cuz in my mind I hear them way, "We hail, we are, we come, We come, we are, we hail from the Outskirts of the Zone of Love." Board this ship and we blast off see earth become a distant rock. accelerate to speeds beyond lightspeed, a syringe in my arm, they tell me, "DMT's the only food you need to survive a wormhole jump jump jump." (Don't Jump) My eyes close and I dream of dreamers who hold in their hands broken dreams who hold in their hearts broken love, The only cure you know is more dreams & love. More dreams & love. Shaken to waken by a 3-pronged hand. "Where are we?" I demand. I heard a voice and it must be psychic cuz in my mind I heard them say, "we are Soon to Land in the Outskirts of the Zone of Love. Soon to Land in the Outskirts of the Zone of Love." ABSTRACT VOCAL SECTION 1 Then down a ramp I am lead the planet not Mars, but it is red. I see that the sky has no clouds. Outer space is a Void. I ask the leader, "Yo, what's the cause?" It tells me that where we are is where the Universe enters God. On the horizon I see spiraling stairs that disappear into the Void. Overrun with emotions I begin to run across these plains of rocky crimson. At the foot of the stairs I kneel and weep. I pray the Lord my soul to keep. Then step by step I begin to climb into the deepness of the divine until Me is Thee and Thee is Me and there is no speak of you and I anymore. And we all shine on from the Outskirts of the Zone of Love. Shine on Shine on Shine on from the Outskirts of the Zone of Love ABSTRACT VOCAL 2 Shine on Shine on Shine on from the Outskirts of the Zone of Love. (Boom Boom Bah Boom Ba-Boom Bah Bah)
