High Strangeness
02:14
|
|||
|
Bigfoot and loch Ness
Mothman and aliens
Our reality's so thin
You never know what could slip in
Life is better with
High strangeness
Skin walker ranch and psychic events
Pyramids and psychedelic trips
We are not alone
But we need to evolve
Life is better with
High strangeness

Smiley Face
02:50
|
|||
|
Blindfolded, I was taken to the woods
I remember hearing running water
Forced to kneel at the source of all power
My head was dunked under water
There was a smiley face
On heaven's gate
I'm sorry, you're too late
Said the smiley face
It's the last trip to Jonestown
I'll meet you at the station
Practicing magic with Rasputin
Reading ouija with Joseph Smith
[Chorus]
They never waved hello
Mostly seen alone
Just goes to show you never know
You're already in a cult

Almost Alien
03:58
|
|||
|
First the freezing rain
Then ice coats everything
Followed by a snow
Creating exoskeletons
It's almost alien
Most burden limbs
Come to crushing ends
Without an audience
Does it even happen
It's almost alien
Crystalline cages collapse
A cacophony of clinking stems
Power cables snap
Time froze and was trapped
It's almost alien
|
||||
4. |
||||
|
Gonna hunker down with bulk rations
Gonna make connections where no exist
Gonna start a cult and get intense
We're never gonna leave this house again
The earth is flat and the moon's a craft
Birds aren't real and reptilians run the government
There's never a straight answer and NASA's in on it
We're never gonna leave this house again
Down a rabbit hole dovetailed with an echo
Down a deep deep well filled with conflicting info
Of secret space programs and alien implants
We're never gonna leave this house again

The Signal
03:02
|
|||
|
This is a signal
This is the signal
Go go go
|
||||
6. |
||||
|
A visit from the men in black
You can't forget to keep quiet
Or they'll be back
Suspicious death, the ice cream man
A women in red, a dead witness
What'd you expect
Running down the street screaming conspiracies
No autopsy for botched lobotomies
No coming back
Full disclosure
It's never over
I can no longer refute the proof
I can no longer excuse the spooks
This tech's not human
We'll shield our eyes from the bright in the sky
When the first city sized craft lifts off
Wave goodbye
Amazon logo on the side
Those eerie blue lights
Like serial killer eyes
Full disclosure
It's never over
Another paperclip
In a raving manuscript
Of a lunatic
A bug zapper on the deck
For the butterfly effect
So long old friend
Bats and owls
And mutilated cows
Roswell farewells
Full disclosure
It's never over

Who put Bella in the Wych elm tree
Wasn't me, couldn't be
Headlines read there are no leads
But someone knows something
She wore a gold ring
Who put Bella in the Wych elm tree
Set her free lord, set her free
Little lamb who made thee
We only know one thing
She wore a gold ring
|

8. |

|
I'm walking around
That's all there is to do right now
Winter is close
All the leaves are on the ground
Skeletal trees
Looking like lungs gasping
Lining the streets
With every shaking heave
We have to change
Because our parents didn't
And lied to us about it
And got divorced about it
Now the year doesn't matter
It's already too late
I'm mad and disappointed
But that'll have to wait
A hornets nest
Hangs empty on a branch
A patient pest
Waiting to spread it's chaos
Over my house
Looms big bad and loud
A silver shining snow cloud
About to open it's mouth
[Chorus]

Betty & Barney Hill
03:08
|
|||
|
A shining light
In the country sky
It's following us
It's speeding up
It's right on top
I started to shout
I must've blacked out
UFO
What do you know
UFO
I want to know
Where does the time go
What I noticed first
The radio cut out
There was no noise at all
I became very afraid
Time seemed to stop
It felt like a dream
[Chorus]

Where the Cat Goes
03:21
|
|||
|
Nobody knows where the cat goes
Not the squirrels and not the crows
Checked the bushes and checked the post
Nobody knows where the cat goes
But there's no claws in her paws
So there's no prey in her jaws
When she gets home
When she gets home
Jumping through portals
Riding on turtles
Hunting for truffles
Getting in scuffle
Nobody knows what the cat knows
Staring at ghosts
Sleeping on coats
Nobody knows what the cat knows
[Chorus]

Halloween D.C.
02:54
|
|||
|
It's Halloween
In Haddonfield
With palm trees
And blue jeans
Death has come
To this small town
But the kids still go out
And scream and shout
The dead will rise
Bats will fly
Terror strikes
With no end in sight
We all saw
This ending coming
Building breeching
Alarms screeching
Between breaking glass
And clouds of tear gas
Our police hold hands
With domestic terrorists
The dead will rise
Bats will fly
Terror strikes
Hold on to what's right in your life
|

Oh Boy, Illinois...
02:12
|
|||
|
Oh boy
Illinois...
Oh boy Illinois
Said the kid with brain damage
And he never left
|

I Would Kill 4 U
02:46
|
|||
|
I would kill for you
If I get the chance too
I'm a cat, it's what we're born to do
You're lucky I'm not as big as you
Purr like an engine
Drip like medicine
I feel and think like you
And care about some same things too
I'm a cat, it's what we're bred to do
At certain resonances I'll heal you
Purr like an engine
Drip like medicine

Come On (Melt Yer Gunz)
02:18
|
|||
|
Everyone come on
Melt your guns
To feel safe again
In a crowd in public
To make eye contact
Not worry about your jacket
[Chorus]
Turn off the gaslight
Inciting the alt right
Protect the science
From those who deny it
[Chorus]
|
||||
15. |
Leaded Gas
04:24
|
|||
|
Breathe deep
Count to three
Rest rest rest
Repeat
Leaded gas and brain damage
Are American as vanilla ice cream and apple pie
It males sense
Of a whole generation
[Chorus]
Leaded gas and brain damage
Go hand in hand like sociopaths and politicians
Don't forget
Long terms conditions for all the children
[Chorus]
