Atomic element 115
Do you want to take a trip with me?
Flying through space using gravity waves
Reverse engineering at Papoose Lake
Radioactive element from a star
Synthesized by aliens and Bob Lazar
S-4 situated near fifty-one
Every cell in your body comes from the sun
Atomic element 115
Every element has isotopes; one, two, three
Phillip Corso at the Foreign Technology Desk
Integrated circuits and microchips

Soledad, are you still looking for her?
Do you still think it could work?
Soledad, I hope you're proud of your good self
But, it takes me three hours to buy groceries
My job is done
My job is done
My job is done
My job is done
Soledad, are you still looking for work?
Can you live with it?
Soledad, I hope you're proud of your okay-self
I wouldn't do it
But, it'd take me an hour to explain
My job is done
My job is done
My job is done
My job is done
My job is done
My job is done
My job is done
My job is done

Beyoncé is a witch
Lana Del Rey's hit and miss
SO. keep up with this fix
I'm cross stitching a list
As Noah said to Hamm
Just Leave me where I am
Then he said "Daughter
Not water just piña colada"
I'm strong enough for a man
But made for something more
Like Elevators and sex
Life's Just Ups and Downs I guess
We'll go to Tabor on a boat
Raphael sees if he floats
Yhey're knocking on my door
Saying, "bring out the whores"
I never wanted your heart
That was only the start
I just want your ear
In rapt attention all year
I'm strong enough for a man
But made for something more
Like Elevators and sex
Life's Just Ups and Downs I guess
These men look like rocks
Knock offs knocking off your socks
These rocks look men
Hypergamy again
Like the men of some renown
Heaven's vault came crashing down
It changed the atmosphere
Drunk in a cave and chill
I'm strong enough for a man
But made for something more
Like Elevators and sex
Barely missing the door
These men look like rocks
Knock offs knocking off your socks
These rocks look men
Hyperbole again

I had an ounce of respect for the president today
At least until they call my name
I had an ounce of guilt for what I'm planning to do
But I won't change my shirt
And I'll laugh until it hurts
What's the sense in worrying
If you can't hold off the inevitable change?
Call me a paperweight
Call me a motherfucker
I won't change
I had an ounce of respect
At least that's what they said it was
When I paid them for it
And I took it good
What's the sense in worrying
If you can't hold off the inevitable change?
Call me a paperweight
Call me a motherfucker
I think I dreamed of you last night
I mean, I drank to you last night
Call me a what I should have been
I had an ounce of repent
But I'm so far gone, what's the point?
Must you point out I don't earn a cent?
I had an ounce of repent
But I'm so far gone, what's the point?
Must you point out I don't earn a cent anymore?
What's the sense in hurrying
If you can't hold off the inevitable change?
I'm a paperweight
I'm a what I should have been
I'm in chains
By the way
I won't change

I am a pilot
On autopilot
There's- nothing left to ex-plore
So we riot
Aww, you thought you'd seen it all
So you stopped trying
You're on your own you know
Im ice cold
As cold as Canby
Park In February
You're my sweet tea
I'm reaching out tonight
Oh, can you feel me?
Come Meet me in the weeds
Oh, oh
You travel to the jungle to meet with Percy Fawcett
You found the hidden city of z but then you lost it
You travel to the jungle to meet with Percy Fawcett
You found the hidden city of z but then you lost it
You travel to the jungle to look for Percy Fawcett
You found the hidden city of z but then you lost it
You travel to the jungle to meet with Percy Fawcett
You found the hidden city of z but then you lost it

Dirty laundry
A last resort
I saw your picture
On a police report
The tank is empty
There's rubble on the road
I saved you a slice of
Pie à la mode
You're a pacifier
Like anyone else
You're a pacifier
Like anyone else
Who killed Cathy Moore?
Down in Port Orange
Suicide by cop
He was in the shower
When his gun went off
She said she'd kill herself dead
When she'd get mad
But she was always saying
Shit like that
You're a pacifier
Like anyone else
You're a pacifier
Like anyone else
Who killed Cathy Moore?
Ten, five, six, a
Ten, five six
Captain Janeway
Cops are dicks
D.R.T.
Nine, Zero, One
Cathryn Janeway
Jumped the gun
I had a dream I
Worked in a laundry mat
It has to be better
Than where I'm at
We had a moment
Now watch the slide
You better believe it
Don't come inside
Ten, five, six, a
Ten, five six
Captain Janeway
Cops are dicks

I've made enemies
And I made a list
I never raised a fist
Or sat on an Atheist
I'll never give in to this
Or steal from Make A Wish
Oh, but you insist
That I need a therapist
Let's pretend your at and t
Just hit send-reach out and touch me
But you're not the phone company
So you disconnected from me
"Not again," you said, that you read
"Sex is wasted on the dead"
I'm been anonymous
Had trysts and suffered tricks
In the years you've missed
But it comes with a twist
Oh my thoughts are small
Like they've always been
I'm an inactivist
Can't we forget all of this?
Let's pretend your at and t
Just hit send-reach out and touch me
But you're not the phone company
Because you disconnected from me
"Not again," you said, that you read
"Sex is wasted on the dead"
Let's pretend your at and t
Just hit send-reach out and touch me
But you're not the phone company
Because you disconnected from me
"Not again," you said, that you read
"Sex is wasted on the dead"

The priest said at my Christening
"This kid don't look like much to me
I say we drown him in the font
And we call it an act of God
No one's who they want to be
No one's who they want to be
And then it occurred to me
No one will suspect the priest" yeah
My clothes torn the first day of school
Replaced by a brown and yellow uniform
My spirit, worn—my hair was shorn
Quote sister "there's only one thing for sure
No one's who they want to be
I hear ya, No one's who they want to be
And then it occurred to me
Not even me, You'll see" yeah
You'd be a sadist to want this life
She said "this is the hill where you die"
Then spake the lord on Mount Sanai
"Hey kid, have you tried cyanide"
Then he implied
NO one's who they want to be
NO one's who they want to be
And then it occurred to me
And it will kill you, someday. yeah

Corporate punk
High rise sleaze
They have your wants
I have your needs
Corporate punk
Polished and clean
They have your hooks
They have your leads
You're not smart enough for them
Give them your money
You're just grim numbers to them
They got
They got
They got what they wanted
You're not punk enough for them
They won't let you open
Unless you open your wallet
Corporate punk
In parody
Their songs suck
I have to scream
You're not good enough for them
Give them your money
You're just big numbness to them
They got
They got
They got what they wanted
You're not real enough for them
They won't let you open
Unless you are one of their friends
You're not big enough for them
Listen up, honey
They're playing a Buzzcocks song again
They got
They got
They got what you come for
You're not punk enough for them
They won't stay for your band
Unless you unzip their pants

|

Send all mutants to the moon forever
Send them one by one or send them together
They're not what you think
The Missing Link
Between gods and man
Colossal they stand
The Ocean of Storms
The Seas of Crises are torn
Nine, zero, six, six, six
Send the mutants back where they came from
Because their foreign ways are super strange to us
Gather up them all
Put them in their place
Concentration camps
In Outer Space
To meet Emily
At the Sea of tranquility
E.O. thirteen, seventy-six, seven
Send all the mutants to Planet X
Registration today, gas chambers are next
Their agenda is clear
To take all you hold dear
La luna is nice
This time of year
Gods and E.T.'s
Living W.M.D.'s
Rocketed to
The Lunar Seas
You know they hate peace
They're nothing like you and me

Christina Regina Angela Cortez
The consort of Osiris
The Angel of the Dead
Innocence between us
A castle made of sand
Te amo, te necesito
Will you come back again?
Oh, I could never look away
Oh, I could never look away
Who am I to ever leave your shore?
I wait 'til you open up your door
Christina Regina Angela Cortez
Maria, Maria
Easy money, easy head
Christina Regina Angela Cortez
The wife of Akhenaten
Angel in my bed
Oh, I could never look away...
Oh, I could never look away
Who am I to ever leave your shore?
I wait 'til you open up your door

I'm calling you
Time Traveler A
A daylight sighting
It's so inviting
I'm inviting you to stay
Say my name
I'm calling you
Time Traveler Prime
Pick up the receiver
A true believer
Looking up at the night sky
As you pass by
Don't stand by me
I'm no good for anybody
I don't want to see the past
I just want to see the future
Through your almond-shaped eyes
I'm calling you
Using only my mind
So far, it's inky-black
But, I won't take it back
You were in the pride
Should you arrive
Don't stand by me
I'm no good for anybody
I just want to see the past
I don't want to see the future
Through your diamond-shaped eyes
A microchip
Embedded in the base of my spine
Solid state, it's great
But tell me which
Tomorrow's on my mind
Don't wait on time
Don't call on me
I'm no good for anybody
I just want to see the past
I just want to see space
Through your almond-shaped eye
