"Phantasmagoric Upstarts" lyrics

"Phantasmagoric Upstarts"

Comes and goes
It grows and wants to come out
And through terra-tactile reaction

Supposed goes upside-down
The walls of one of your houses
Imbued with photo-magnetic attraction

A lot of noise
And primitive action
A whole lot of shape
And primitive action
The coming attraction

A lot of noise
And primitive action
A whole lot of shape
And primitive action
The coming attraction
Primitive action
The coming attraction

But it's not real
And you're not real
And I'm not real
Yeah, it's not real
And you're not real
And I know I'm not real
