"The Great Forever" lyrics
(And we call it hell)
My face is blank
I speak to the void
I am but one of many useless toys
Where I come from, we all scream in endless strife
It's a great song and we titled it life
Does anybody really know what time it is?
A thousand years of repetitive slicing
And here is the icing on the divine cake:
It doesn't really matter, seconds, hours, months, and years of coffee breaks
Scribbles on dollar bills and ice to numb the mounting thrills
Buy a cheap plane ticket and pack
Did ya ever think you're gonna get your money back?
I etch the sorrow of the world on the back of a green paper
Never loaned and never later, never gonna be tamed!
(Warning - this is not a game)
No signs of life
It seems we are surrounded
Big blinding light
A sluggish Aphrodite
No end in sight
On and on The Great Forever
Do you hear that?
Oh, I don't, no, I don't
She struts like a doe
With the eyes of a hawk!
And as she passes her reflection
She hastens her walk!
Cause the markings drawn across her skin
Are not enough to protect her from Adam's sin
In my heart, there's a bird and he cries all day
But I keep him nice and quiet to get me through
He's pathetic and though we do share a name
I don't cry, I promise I don't, do you?
There was a bit of soot on the floorboard
Floorboard
Floorboard
Floorboard
And it got up into the mouths and onto the teeths
Of the people we seeded and breeded for meat, and some did bleed
Soon their mouths, and their teeths we're all feeding the beast
And their half mad smiles all looked like sad frowning piano keys
With some bones still white and others gone black
And the floorboard was clean man, the floorboard was clean! you should've seen it, it was obscene!
And the sad piano keys
Made of black and white teeth
Played a soft melody
That was broken and sleek
Cause the floorboard was clean
And none of the black could be seen!
No signs of life
It seems we are surrounded
Big blinding light
A sluggish Aphrodite
No end in sight
On and on The Great Forever
Do you hear that?
Oh, I don't, no, I don't, no, I don't, no, I don't
My face is blank
I speak to the void
I am but one of many useless toys
Where I come from, we all scream in endless strife
It's a great song and we titled it life
Does anybody really know what time it is?
A thousand years of repetitive slicing
And here is the icing on the divine cake:
It doesn't really matter, seconds, hours, months, and years of coffee breaks
Scribbles on dollar bills and ice to numb the mounting thrills
Buy a cheap plane ticket and pack
Did ya ever think you're gonna get your money back?

Never loaned and never later, never gonna be tamed!
