Strange Places

To be honest,
I want to move away
to a liminal space,
where I don't have to pay my taxes
and I can just relax.
(relax)
But I haven't got the time
to drop completely off the map,
no I haven't got the time,
so I will have to call you back.
We live in strange, strange places
that we ourselves design.
We live in strange, strange places
and we go out of our minds.
would you speak to me, speak to me
in the real way
and not the same words
over and over again?
would you stay with me, stay with me
in a strange place,
and would you call it
our home?

I've got a heart full of wet concrete
I've got a lot of goals that I said I'd meet
but I'm waiting here I'm floundering,
I don't know how long it'll take
before I can breathe again
but when I do,
you won't know me.
you won't know me anymore.
You can't beat them until you become them
and I'll have to change if I want to stay alive
yeah I'll have to change
to stay alive.
And if you think you know
what this means,
then you haven't seen
what I have seen.
I've watched them all die.
All the people I used to be.
I've got a soul full of arcade machines
and I'm glitching out, I'm fracturing
I can't control what's happening,
and I don't know how long it'll take
before I can rearrange, but when I do
you won't know me
you won't know me anymore
You can't beat them until you become them
and I'll have to change if I want to stay alive
Yeah I'll have to change
all the people I used to be.

There comes a time
to come around again.
Cause the world is changing.
yeah the world is changing.
The world is changing
and you can't get out the same way you came in
no no
yeah the world is changing
and you can't get out the same way you came in.
Do you wanna die for something
or do you wanna live for nothing at all?
alright.
alright.
The last time that you looked in the mirror
did you see yourself, did you see yourself,
or did you see someone else?

Alarm! Alarm!
04:28

I don't want to alarm you,
but I travel the whole world from my bedroom
and one day I might just disappear.
I don't want to alarm you,
but I noticed that there's something in your castle
and it's tearing up the floors.
I don't want to alarm you,
but it's vicious, and it's hungry, and it's not looking for the door
but I don't want to alarm you.
Don't let me just fade away,
don't let me just fade away,
cause I'm still here.
I don't want to alarm you,
but it moved while you weren't watching, and it took your only son
but I don't want to alarm you.
It's ominous, but in a sort of
friendly way.
Like a horror film that you've seen too many times,
You know how this ends.
yeah you know how this ends.
you know how this ends.

Scorpion Radio
03:46
|

In the desert I found myself again
driving under the moonlight
under the moonlight
I heard a voice come through the static
heard a voice come through the static
heard her speaking clear as a bell
she said the world which we live in
is not so far from hell,
but through the fire we'll be cleansed,
and all the dead will rise again
and I heard her all the way down on scorpion radio
she said I'll show you what you need to see,
and I heard her all the way down on scorpion radio
she said I'll tell you who you need to be
and I heard her all the way down on scorpion radio
to where the highway meets the sea.
And I wonder about
all the people who
throw themselves into the waves
do they do it because they want to be saved,
or do they do it because they just
want to go away?
And the trouble is,
I don't even know myself anymore,
And the trouble is, I've got nowhere to go.
Through the fire we'll be cleansed,
and all the dead will rise again
yes all the dead will rise again
yes all the dead will rise.
This is scorpion radio,
listen, and believe.
