I’m made of what you are I’m made outta I’m made of what you are I’m made outta Born again born again born again I’m like you x etc hup standing in a cave with your boarded-up mind and your holy ideas With a voted out mind, I’m not telling my fears I’m a walrus standing at the edge of a chasm With a grievesnous and it’s a grievous state and I’m like you Gotta put it put it put it put it put it down to shame world be standing here dazed and the movements are the things that I am best at As a walrus preaches to this choir stage-left of seagulls I be putting my ideas on you and you just gotta know that I’m Like you I’m the movement of your body And I take you down put your record on If my amusement is not wanted Gonna make you high girl gonna make you fucking high If I’m not moving then leave my body Ain’t got no right to - this ain’t my favourite song And your amusement it is not wanted Keep your fucking dick in your pants no means no means no means no Ooh I’m wide-eyed the world is not fine Can’t enunciate la di di da skin is crawling never want this This is a crack this is a crack Keep your fucking dick in your pants no means no means no means no Ooh I'm wide eyed The world is not fine

Hands up stand up and talk like a roller Don’t you want to take that time to be me I won’t stay whilst you fall away All high rollers know the game I’m lier in the choir of my own cure I’ve a lack of faith you’re my drug of choice Stand here burnt burnt burnt by the roadside don’t you take my land for I can change I won’t stay whilst you fall away All high rollers know the game I’m lier in the choir of my own cure I’ve a lack of faith you’re my drug of choice Hands up stand up and talk like a roller

I am a movement of swallows do what you want I am taking my time to get to the point I am a maiden of honour I do not walk in the rain for fear of the dark I would not call this disaster I can not see through the walls to know who you are I don’t want to say I’m losing my way Time breeds emotions to follow Taking your time to resolve to get to the point I do not walk in the rain for fear of the dark I am removing my head from the fray, do my part I don't want to say I’m old and awake I don’t want to learn Again and again and again and again I could not know what you’re after Age is emotional grace a movement of soul I am a maid of disaster I do not curl myself away from the breeze I don’t want to say I’m losing my way I don’t want to learn Again and again and again and again (Fit to say all these white lies they're burning me from the inside) I am a maid of honour I do not share who I am I am a mood made of swallows I do not tell what is after for fear of the dark I don’t run away I won’t fade away I don’t want to learn again and again and again (I’m on a stage full of your pretence and promises and I’m burned out and I’m tired)

Moving my mind outta the back cages Put it in a simple little dress tell it that you love it so love it so love it so Walked it around the park Introduce it to strangers And tell them things they don’t want to know Draining my mind out I’m on the mainline Gotta get right out Walk down the line walk down the line walk down the ideas I am amazed mind is clear Sorry to hurt you dear (Back in the loop) Same shit different day same shit I’m on the mainline outta here I could not hurt you dear I’m on the mainline outta here I could not hurt you dear Mind is clear Mind is clear Mind is clear I could not hurt you dear I am amazed mind is clear I could not hurt you dear I am amazed Ideas

I sold myself into the dark I don’t care what you want Nothing left and nothing to recall I move myself real slow Gotta fall out once and now at odd with your back I’m sliding wrong side roller Did a walk of shame sink to the couch And a movement sinking in the depths of your ideals All the shame Of my ideals are awake I’m a wall in the drag All ideals are awake I’m an emotional wreck like a wick with no wax I take myself real serious I’ve a fear that ya see that my minds full of cracks twist and I crawl and a blink but your motion sink with your ideals All the shame Of my ideals are awake I’m a wall in the drag All ideals are awake I’m a wall In the drag I sold myself into the dark Moving slow Moving slow

Fade out, move betwixt the lines With an eye for detail Time is moving slow Walkout, feet beneath the soil A resolve is found as All emotions flow Step back and read between the lines Paranoia wins And now this army grows I desire everything I’ve known an a maiden I am an a made an I Wandering alone Old man ages in the light And a unity restored This sweet resolve Take time, a drop of wine saves nine Swollen to the core traffic grows spirits spit with Politrix and matrix twists A movement sent with criptix to a symbolist in his ideal flow Dominating estrogen to light it in the put it in the put it in the put it in Nothing untoward, fallen on the sword Wandering alone Wandering alone Nations walking through your eyes I am not the notion of Greatness grave is in the intellect an introspective retrospect And I do not recall the wall is under in a mides den and I do not recall your lies, ears are not the rulers with an offer to annihilate Wandering alone Wandering alone Might as well Time will tell I’ll follow you down
