Cold Life

cold

you know the yolk it's spreading from

you laugh as people scatter 'bout

surrounded by a veil of stars

you realize your life is dark

earth gets colder every day

if scientists could have their way

they'd study us from far away

and watch as people's minds decay

cold

your body's in the hands of fools

with swimming pools and low IQ's

there's nothing to see, nothing to do

buy your stocks and sell your jewels

bill collectors stole my mail

my wife and kids are all for sale

I hope to god I go to jail

and no one can come up with bail

cold life

I can't control my buried thoughts

the slightest thing makes me distraught

I'm like the people I once fought

my every action's being bought

robot trainers earn their pay

as mutant kids go out to play

it's such a pretty pretty day

with orange nights and days of grey



cold



I've now become a nervous wreck

I'm getting closer to my death

I keep expecting my last breath

as all my friends just laugh and jest



the earth is such a filthy place

and human such an awful race

and I'd rather live in outer space

where death goes at a slower pace



cold life



I'm Falling



first last night we're riding home

with friends in a big blue car

for this man fed us rubbish

as if it were caviar

we told him; 'sir, please go away!

we're innocent of crimes!'

he hit me with his black nightstick

and all I heard were cries



I'm falling



I asked her for a date one night

she thought it'd be a laugh

I'd take her to a restaurant

and then up to her pad

I waited at my house that night

for her phone call to come

she'd gone off with a ruffian

and he came by with a gun



I'm falling



I'm falling

yes I'm falling
