Wonderland

Denny was born in the sixties
He thought the future would be wonderful
Real life confused him
He was always reading the Sci-Fi comic
Denny invented a world for himself
that made more sense than the world outside
Years from now they’d understand
and say Denny was neurodiverse
Denny knew the prophecies were just words
that God was merely a character in his extended universe
He would take your hand
And walk you into wonderland
He would see with your eyes
And let you explore the world with his surprise
He would touch your skin
And let you feel the wonder within
He would take your hand
And walk you into wonderland
He would take your hand
And walk you into wonderland
He would take your hand
And walk you into wonderland
He would take your hand
And walk you into wonderland

Smell the toast
In the middle of the night
Middle of the night
Middle of the night
I thought you were a ghost
In the middle of the night
Middle of the night
Middle of the night
Can’t sleep
In the middle of the night
Middle of the night
Middle of the night
I hear you weep
In the middle of the night
Middle of the night
Middle of the night
Heard you cry
In the middle of the night
Middle of the night
Middle of the night
Thought I’d die
In the middle of the night
Middle of the night
Middle of the night
Hold my chest
In the middle of the night
Middle of the night
Middle of the night
Hold your breast
In the middle of the night
Middle of the night
Middle of the night
Need love
In the middle of the night
Middle of the night
Middle of the night
Do your stuff
In the middle of the night
Middle of the night
Middle of the night
Sex is best
In the middle of the night
Middle of the night
Middle of the night
Sex is best
In the middle of the night
Middle of the night
Middle of the night

Feminine Gaze
03:32
|

Would you undertake
some kind of task for me?
Would you go and make
a new mask for me?
In the morning
In the evening
In the rivers
In the deserts
By the roadside
There’s a roadkill
Drag the corpse
And freeze for winter
When you came and called me
Did you bring me something?
What was your plastic fetish
When I was made of metal?
I was only so organic
Until I hit the wires
Then I became kinetic
Stoking all your fires
Then I became kinetic
Stoking all your fires
By the way I look at you
Did You See I love You
By the way I look at you
Can you see I love you
By the way I look at you
Can’t You See that I love You
By the way I look at you
Can’t you see that I love you
Is a rose a valentine
Is a song a killing rhyme
Is a rose a weapon find
better left at the crime
Is it easier now youre older
Is it easier now youre single
Is it easier now you’re fluid
Is it easier now you are like me
Have I told you that I love you
And all your pretty ways
Have I told you that I love you
In the heat of your feminine gaze
Have I told you that love you
And all your pretty ways
Have I told you that I love you
In the heat of your feminine gaze
I can see the living gaze
I can see the living gaze
I can see the living gaze
I can see the living gaze
I can see the living gaze
I can see the living gaze

Catsuit Planet
04:08
|

Bivouacs and backpacks
Water flasks and comfy snacks
Now I understand that the revolutions here
Internment camps and Chinese Walls
Gas spills and fire walls
This is much more than an existential crisis
Bluecats in Siberia
The melting of the ice caps
Populists and Demagogues are spreading like wildfire
Packing up the nursing homes
We populate with garden gnomes
Have I told you how I used to community with Elvis?
Oh
we were living our best life
In times like these nothing is for certain
Big cats and wild cats
Killing cars and pics of Mars
Isn’t the city pretty in the moonlight
The billionaires are leaving us
In cock-shaped rocketships
Whilst I was dreaming of you
on a Catsuit Planet
All dressed in frippery
The gravity was slippery
Whichever way you look
There’s someone you used to know
Pictured with a cocktail drink
Its easy to think
2021 is a different kind of movie

The Programme
04:28
|

Ever since I took the pill
Life has been unbearable
Ever since I rolled that way
Nothing seems to matter
The satellites stopped functioning
The white light’s on the blink
Nobody is watching over
The children by the pool
What was the programme
How was it distributed
What was the programme
What did it simulate
What was the programme
Who was responsible
What was the programme
What happened to our innocence?
They say that nothing
Escapes the corporation
Everything allowable
Nothing is forbidden
Why am I teetering
On the edge of crazy
Before I stop descending
Will you loose the wire?
What was the programme
How was it distributed
What was the programme
What nerve ends did it stimulate?
What was the programme
Who was responsible
What was the programme
What happened to our innocence?
Responses aren’t predicted
The subject is fallible
There’s nothing in the history
To suggest such reaction
What was the programme
How was it distributed
What was the programme
What did it simulate
What was the programme
Who was responsible
What was the programme
What happened to our innocence?

Wringing out the days for the days are longer,
Acting weak as you’re getting stronger
Catching the H train back to hell
Sitting alone in your isolation cell
Reading about the wrongly divided
About the deep state compromises
Swapping stories of mind control
The turning of a troubled soul
Put your gun down
I’m just the message boy
Put your gun down
I’m just the message boy
Put your gun down
I’m just the message boy
Put your gun down
I’m just the message boy
There’s always someone out there
Ready to hear what you have to say
Gives you just the drops you need
Just enough dope to stay.
Buddy’s suffering from addiction,
God and hate and contradiction
Your time has come to make a stand
And take back this unholy hand
Put your gun down
I’m just the message boy
Put your gun down
I’m just the message boy
Put your gun down
I’m just the message boy
Put your gun down
I’m just the message boy
In the streets and the homes of the chosen
Wait for the click track to become unfrozen
In the back of the flatback truck
Loaded down and ready to fuck
Burn down the static places
Start a war to end this stasis
Tell the American people the truth
I saw alone what we have to do
Put your gun down
I’m just the message boy
Put your gun down
I’m just the message boy
Put your gun down
I’m just the message boy
Put your gun down
I’m just the message boy

Inside the Black Room
04:11

You know who I am
but not my name
Leave at the door
Your famous name
Inside the room
We’re all the same
Inside the room
We play the game
Inside the black room
You’re smiling but you can’t see
Inside the black room
You’re screaming but you can’t hear
Inside the black room
You’re smiling but you can’t see
Inside the black room
You’re screaming but you can’t hear
I am the doorman
At the trapdoor
I am the monster
Under the floor
All of your nightmares
A price to pay
Black silhouettes
Show you the way
Inside the black room
I’m smiling but you can’t see
Inside the black room
I’m screaming but you can’t hear
Inside the black room
I’m smiling but you can’t see
Inside the black room
I’m screaming but you can’t hear
You know who I am
but not by name
Leave at the door
Your famous name
Inside this room
We’re all the same
Inside the room
We play our game
Inside the black room
I’m smiling but you can’t see
Inside the black room
I’m screaming but you can’t hear
Inside the black room
I’m smiling but you can’t see
Inside the black room
I’m screaming but you can’t hear

Toads
03:42
|

I was always
Your familiar type
There were feathers
Coming out your eyes
By the bright fire
Under rainstorms
Thinking you will never
Thinking you will never
And the toads
Like the rainstorms
And the toads
Like the rainstorms
And the toads
Are coming back
And the toads
Are coming back
I would give up
If I thought it was worth it
And I know
I’ve said it before
What worse things
Lurking in the coal pile
What’s worse things
Are underneath those stones?
And the toads
Like the rainstorms
And the toads
Like the rainstorms
And the toads
Are coming back
And the toads
Are coming back

Don’t underestimate the power of history
Corruption of thought hidden in plain sight
Let the vulnerable believe in a mystery
take them away in the dead of the night
We are the shield and the sword of the party
Without us there is no state –
We are the shield and the sword of the party
Taking away your choice, your fate
The sons of the men who ruled the land
Wear inside out there father’s suits
So you won’t see the blood on their at hands
You have to pull the plant at its roots
We are the shield and the sword of the party
1 in 200 are in our pay –
Without us there is no revolution
With us you won’t get a say
Giving power to the true believers
Even if they have no talent or skill
Mediocre men are the most dangerous kind
Whatever else they do, they soon learn to kill
We are the shield and the sword of the party,
Burning our records as the mob descends
We are the shield and the sword of the party
Some of us are your friends
Don’t underestimate the power of history
Corruption of thought hidden in plain sight
Let the vulnerable believe in a mystery
take them away in the dead of the night
We are the shield and the sword of the party
Without us there is no state –
We are the shield and the sword of the party
Taking away your choice, take away your fate
We are the shield and the sword of the party
1 in 200 are in our pay –
Without us there is no revolution
With us you won’t get a say
