lyrics

here i am, born a common wonder
there was no glass ceiling i was born under
i guess in truth, it was never too hard
especially when i didn't care bout money and cars

for a long time i wasn't really livin
and whose to blame? it wasn;t my decision
till the electricty opened up the incisions
and the analord showed me his mechanical vision

and the synths pulse through
and the rolands pump out
and theres something that you can't really ever talk about
its movin through air but you will never ever see it
and it hits you in your brain, yeah you wont ever believe it
it changes you in ways you could never describe
shows you things that you could never see with your eyes
and it lives in round 12 inch peice of plastic
or in glass box, filled with pixels and magic

and thus, i was born a anew
the old me became a new you
and for a while I knew what to do
my purpose, who i was, and what i thought was the truth
but then one day, i went to the zoo
on another continent, the minds antipodes too
and what i saw i could not comprehend
a beast conclave singing a sacred hymn

and then i knew there was a god, but not was I feeling
hey light, where you been? tell me who was stealing
the strawberry jam from me all this time
it tastes so good and it makes me feel alive
everything makes sense, it was such an esctasy
the colors flashing everywhere, it brought out the best of me
i picked up a sun harp, and got myself some rythm sticks
and i played forest gospels till the trees got sick

and I danced, with all the other tigers
and great things came from this jungle choir
no matter what, there was always merry weather
from nature there was no need to take shelter
but something lurked in the depths of the internet
a dada monster, with only one real intent
to destroy everything i ever knew
and it did it real well and all too soon

the pulse demon tore down the walls of my dimension
melody and rythm were douvered with out question
and thrown out the window along with convention
this was a new age of auditory dissection
a zero db wall made of frequency violence
filled with merzbirds eating the flesh off the silence
there is no quiet, it was killed by a lion
who was woken from his coma by a plastic worm tyrant

and the noise is oh so loud [say what?]

and then, death put his hand on me
handed me a galatic time peice
and a microphone and a fruity beat
and now i'm here,
