They know who I am say their eyes
Yes, it's me! Surprise!
So what the hell gave me away?
Is it the smile or the bloody face?
Charges dropped at one’s demise
But he hadn’t finished with his lies
He hadn’t quite faded away
Baptism in blood on his funeral day
Screw that parasympathetic delay
Not much separates you from him - dead man
Out on a limb, out of a limb - dead man
It’s a matter of sink or swim - dead man
Drowning - dead man
Your ascendant stock won't defy gravity
Trading all your life to prevent apogee
But life in the hive is pre-ca-ri-ous
One wrong turn and you’ve missed the bus!
Relish the credit where it is due
Encumbered by debits, as faults accrue
Default, deface, de-feet
Your upward projectory has gone askew
I’ll reduce your stock into a stew
Not much separates you from him - dead man
Out on a limb, out of a limb - dead man
It’s a matter of sink or swim - dead man
Drowning - dead man
The elevator opens and I turn to walk out
He grabs my arm and says, “We’re going back down.
To the cell with the bolted chair.
You know, I’ve seen you do your finest work in there.”
I say, “No. I’ve got places to go, people to see
And then I’m going home for a shower
And to get drunk in my favourite chair.”
He shoots me and pulls me in by my hair
And he says:
The halo’s slipped, your plunge renowned
Now you wear a tarnished crown
Furrowed brow, the worried frown
Come on in we’re heading down!
Spider descends upon a thread
Stricken fly is filled with dread
Let’s keep that smile upside down.
Icarus and Lucifer having nothing on you
The depths you’ll go to…
Not much separates you from him - dead man
Out on a limb, out of a limb - dead man
It’s a matter of sink or swim - dead man
Drowniiiiiiing - dead man
Let’s keep that smile upside down

Denizen
Take your medicine
Prescribed regimen
Dutiful denizen
Stay healthy, Citizen
Omniscient of you
Omnipresent around you
Obedience from you
Obsequence from you, you
We got eyes on you, on you (we’ve got eyes)
We got eyes on you, on you (we’ve got eyes)
We got eyes on you, on you (we’ve got eyes)
We got eyes on you
Midnight robocall number 8
Your front door incriminates
Your journey home circuitous
And cat-killing curious
Spurious and inane
Here Kitty Kitty you’re home late again
Deviation is deviant
Diversion is divergent
They drugged me before she was taken
She’d stopped medicating
She had awakened
Purified, she went outside
Hearing her own voice say,
“I’m not gonna die today”
Rules aren't made for bending
Rules aren't made for breaking
Wills are made for bending
Limbs are made for breaking
I am non-compliant
I am non-compliant
I will be defiant
I will be abeyant
I will be triumphant

No Amnesty
War, Death, Famine and Pestilence
They know me, they owe me.
Disturbing trend in prevalence
It’s so me, “Let’s go” me!
Not a hint of cognizance
Ignore me, stone wall me
Suffer the consequences
Abhor me, Implore to me
You can thank me now or fall foul of me later
You can thank me now
Carpet bombing every aspect of your lives
Everything! Cystematic me.
Ruination to the Nth degree
It’s all me! No amnesty!
Perceived slight. A lack of remorse.
Despite me, incite me
A disproportionate use of force.
Go bite me. Come fight me.
The forgotten strewn on the boulevard
So shoot me, refute me
Is that culpable disregard?
Conspiracy, polarity
You can thank me now or fall foul of me later
You can thank me now
War, Death, Famine and Pestilence
It’s all me

You Are Alive
Pulled into Victoria with tears in my eyes
I saw you leant against a payphone
“Where were you?” implied
Then you were gone, but we found Tom
Together strong, it’s been too long
Homing pidgeon
Homing pidgeon
Home
Your DNA betrayed you, but we never will
You were the highest flier and we love you still
You were flying high with greatness in your blood
So much potential and so bloody loved
Because you:
Brought out what was good in us
Could always raise us up
Could make us DIE
Laughing
You are alive in me
Manatee and 59th will never be the same
A red light, a text message, a cloudless sky
A swirling burger sign
Traffic in flames
And then the lights changed forever
And the zombies and the beer and the laughter
I could go on…
I never got to say goodbye
So here we are
So here we are
You are alive in me
