Watch the Aspidistra Fly

I have come to realize There ain't nothing in this town that can't be bought If not with money and illusions Then with some kind of dirty rotten wrought Walking to the anthem but did I ever stop To look and breathe and smell Keep me like my shoulders Keep my head above the water in the well Just hang around the offices They surely know what time it is all the time If you ask me bloody cousin Well to me that don't seem like it's worth a dime Don't just throw the towel in Throw down the accordion and all the brass Just don't throw in your oxygen Potassium magnesium and eyes Breathing in your coffin While an LED screen dreams you off to sleep Walking around in circles over molehills With two back to front feet Brother I was seeing to my self-destruction With a perseverance unto an unholy fault Try to teach myself that waterfalls Do not waterfall Planets giant mandible will rear And cannibal itself alive The loss of one little insect would turn out to be Our complete demise But I'd crush you like a bug Just to dream that one day this world will be mine Thinking for a second that I'd be thinking of ever Leaving you behind Well that kind of thinking Slowly takes your heart and soul And it quickly takes your mind If you go a looking for what you're searching But you don't seem to find Well I can only say to you You did not look hard enough As it takes to look for what you got inside Lord Let it rain your breath O Lord Let it rain your breath People find all kinds of reasons To be cheating and disbelieving for cheap thrills Some things people be doing Man it really truly gives me chills To be thinking and feeling all the days You just wish you could go and spill To be feeling it enough to go out in the world And want to go and kill Giving kids delusions that their hands And feet and blood is all they got Well I'm here right now to tell you Here's the message friend It is not Are they paying any attention All the information's blanked out anyway But they'll soon be out here searching So be watching just exactly what you say Hold onto your world but one day very soon This world will be mine Don't be thinking for a second that I'd Ever be leaving anyone behind Aliens can watch us while the animals are Feeding us their time If you ask me sister I can say I don't think that's worth a dime Lord Let it rain your breath O Lord Let it rain your breath
