lyrics

I live in yesterday's dreams of tomorrow
Where there's no pain or fear or death or sorrow.
Carrying the lazy man’s load I slipped through cracks in the road
On vacation in Vatican City, round St Peter's or in that vicinity
I met a vision of sweet pure virginity, she tried to sell me the holy trinity
Three for a pound
Three for a pound
Three for a pound
Or just take one for infinity
Or just take none for infinity

Look what you done my cyclopean son
Your Chaldean mind has come quite undone
Kick off your shoes, kick off your feet
And get down to a soundless motorik beat

I live in yesterday's dreams of tomorrow
Where there's no pain or fear or death or sorrow.
Carrying the lazy man’s load, I slipped through cracks in the road
I vacation in military facilities and in labs full of alien technology
Met a vision of sweet pure depravity, selling shares in diet zero gravity

A million miles underground
We’re searching for the sound
A million miles underground
Where nothing falls apart into everything
Nothing falls apart into everything

Look what you done my cyclopean son
Your Chaldean mind has come quite undone
Kick off your shoes, kick off your feet
And get down to a soundless motorik beat
