Planet of the Apes read the letters on the sign, it was Southland 68 in 1969
Well the tires spit the gravel while I was hiding in the trunk
And the speakers on the post said its good to be a punk
Put it on your head and wear it like a hat
And get yourself a dog and walk it like a cat
Sometimes I get confused about the things that really matter
But then I pack it up real tight and the mirror makes it fatter
CHORUS
Crash Landers, they are humongous, crash landers, they walk among us
Crash Landers, they're incognito, crash landers, on my libido
Light years away, living in a crater, a signal from the probers, robotic alligator
Hold on to the torch when your buried in the sand
And start picking out a spot where you think you're gonna land
Strip me to the bone and scrape me with a knife
And carve in your initials before you take my life
Because all the special ed detectives won't know what to do
Unless you give 'em a little something, something like a clue
Time Killers
Don't worry cause it's just a fire
Saw it in the hallway but I shut the door
Put on the blinders climbed into future
Zip it up behind me looking straight ahead
Back up in the tracks of a time killer
And everyone I know is a time killer
And everywhere I go I'm a time killer
And even in reverse your a time killer
You know that you will always be
A pillar of immunity
Button up for all to see
Always in periphery
For all to see
Bringing it down all the way down
It was getting kinda hazy but I really didn't notice
They were looking through the window
I was standing in a chair
I was trying to tell a killing joke jerking back my head
Did I really say that was it something that I did
Back up in the tracks of a time killer
And everyone I know is a time killer
And even in reverse your a time killer
And down there on the floor your a time killer
Crazy Hand
And from the pink cloud came a Crazy Hand,
It said don't be stupid drink the water
So we suck it on down and took a boat to Morocco
And we started up a band with The Crazy Hand
CHORUS
Yeah we started up a band with the crazy hand
I said we started up a band with the crazy hand
Well we climbed into the van with the crazy hand
Well you never know the plan with the crazy hand
Yeah lets go
At The Red River Gorge in the middle of the day time
Standing on the porch looking to the valley
Shooting boomerang trails do you see what I see
Well tap me on the shoulder when you get plugged in
CHORUS
Yeah please don't wake him up he's sleeping
Yeah you can't wake him he's sleeping
And from the pink cloud came a Crazy Hand, Yeah Yeah
It said don't be stupid drink the water Yeah Yeah
So we suck it on down and took a boat to Morocco Yeah Yeah
And we started up a band with The Crazy Hand
CHORUS
Wanna know what we did
We took the hinges off the doors We fell in love with all the whores
Well we corrupted all the cash and put the trophies in the trash
CHORUS
News of No Surprises
It really will annoy ya
When they whisper paranoia
All the acrophobes are coping
Out the door and in the open
Knowing that the fog is lifting
I didnÕt see the sand was shifting
Of the three which will it be
Number 21 youÕll see
CHORUS
Snow caps melt the ocean rises
Turn on the news of no surprises
The anchor man is turning green
He read the ticker on the screen
Don't relapse reflect on flexes
Don't believe in all those hexes
Scratch their heads catch the hard stare
Take a hammer to the wheelchair
Blueprints on a blue screen read 'em
And yogi's pissed if you don't feed 'em
Get the signal from the tagging
Re-released so they can bag 'em
CHORUS
Do you think that you could get this before they hypnotize witness
Well your looking pretty yellow for a second hand smoker
And your getting pretty good at liars poker
The Countdown Sound
Gather around x3 for the countdown sound
Well I'd really like to hear a good primal squeal from
All the rock and roll hamsters on the wheel
Come on everybody you know what to do
Suck the sugar water with the television glue
Well we gathered around the speakers in the field
With just ten more minutes till the sun goes down
Dilation, dilation the pupil is a star
Gas powered generators melt the plastic cup
Standing in the fire and we always make it up
Over crunchy guitars, yeah crunchy guitars x3 and the sonic scars
Well I'm cutting it down with the edge of my hand
When I sharpen it up my mind turns into sand
Gestation is just a station the pupil is a star
Rip up the rip chords it's never been done
Mind bending floor boards melting the sun
Over crunchy guitars, yeah crunchy guitars x3 and the sonic scars
Infected
You might get the phone call in the middle of the day
But don't freak out about it cause your here to stay
They respirate the breathers no safety nets
Brain wash detergent and I'm taking bets that
CHORUS
Sometimes it's good to be infected
And figure out that you were disconnected
Sometimes it's good to be infected
Straighten up and get your thoughts collected yeah
Every other incarnation seems a littler longer
Break the bones a thousand times they only getting stronger
Sleep like a baby, pillows made of stone
Everything is cool when I'm all alone and
CHORUS
Every other incarnation seems a littler longer
Break the bones a thousand times they only getting stronger
Sleep like a baby, pillows made of stone
Everything is cool down here when I'm all alone and
CHORUS
Lift
Well I climbed into the earth
And now I'm checking out the bugs
I shredded all the money
When I cut the Persian rugs
I'm backing up, I'm backing up
I'm heading for the cliff
I'm scaring all the passengers
I think I'm getting lift
I think I'm getting lift now
I hope I'm getting lift now
CHORUS
Lift off take off
Get me off the ground
Lift off take off
Trouble with this town
Lift off take off
Trying to find a route
Lift off take off
Get the fuck on out
I get the smell of fear
When its cooking on a post
Do you get the conversation
When your talking to a ghost
Listen for the mumbles
When your kicking in the dark
Bring an electric blanket for your picnic in the park
I think I'm getting lift now
I hope I'm getting lift now
CHORUS
Get the fuck on out
Well it's all copasetic when your slipping on the slopes
You gotta keep em covered when your up against the ropes
A two minute timer was set a year ago
And 30 seconds in we're still fucking up the show
I think I'm getting lift now
I hope I'm getting lift now
CHORUS
Walking Man
The black hand pumps the purple heart
Like Frankenstein it got it's start
Yeah start him up and knock him down
He'll get back up and walk around
His hands are made of gold and lead
His burning feet are always red
When the sidewalks cracked and wearing down
You know the walking man might be around
he's always around
CHORUS
He's a walking man
He's got a walking plan (LT Earl Brian)
I see him walking
He don't stop talking
Until he's talked it through
Talk it through walking man
He's barking in his sleep again
And moping up the dirty gin
This is what dreams are made of
He's trading in his rubber gloves
Endurance is a helpful pest
And he'll go back and get the rest
making up for time that's lost
And in the end all time is tossed
